In place of real terrorists carrying out easy plots, we have “terrorist” plots dreamed up by FBI and CIA agents, who then recruit some hapless or demented dupes, bribing them with money and heroic images of themselves, and supplying them with the plot and fake explosives. These are called “sting operations,” but they are not. They are orchestrations by our own security agencies that produce fake terrorist plots that are then “foiled” by the security agencies that hatched the plots. Washington’s announcement is always: “The public was never in danger.” Some terrorist plot! We have never been endangered by one, but the airports have been on orange alert for 11.5 years. [More]Like that bridge too far.
Think about it--if you or I wanted to carry out destructive, disruptive and even murderous acts, how hard would it really be? Is it really fear of getting caught that stops us, or just the simple truth that basically good people don't do monstrously evil things?
And if we could do it, what's stopping the motivated "pros"?

What's stopping the "dedicated 'pros'"? The fact that they don't exist. That's what.
The only terrorists that are a real threat to my life and way of life work for the US government or one of its local co-conspirators.
