You having an inkling that the Twin Towers could be targeted a second time is a bit of a surprise.
My focus has been corruption and incompetence in government since seeing it while in grade school. After that it was easy to see everywhere.
The FBI’s biggest success has been the PR campaign Hoover initiated. Other that they have a blemished record.
The CIA is much worse.
Watching the continuing government incompetence, working in the power industry for decades (mostly nuclear) and respecting Iranian scientists, I still think a dirty bomb is possible.
Oh - I knew they were coming for the Twin Towers again. Anyone who paid attention to what was said after 1993 and what was said in the trial knew that. Like I said - that they would weaponize a plane the way they did - no - I didn’t predict that for sure. But I knew they were coming for the Twin Towers again.
The CIA and FBI are both better and worse in the sense you mean. They have a lot of successes that aren’t talked about, and a lot of failures that aren’t talked about as well. But the biggest issue almost no one knows about is the level of disinformation.
For more than 50 years the lie that the CIA caused or had any significant role in the Mosaddegh incident, for instance, is still considered “gospel” truth and that we got what we deserved in 1979 because of it. All 100% lies - still the media narrative today. We had little if any role in what happened, and Mosaddegh was a corrupt pig that the Iranian legislature wanted gone and petitioned the Shah repeatedly to remove him before the Shah finally acted, and well within his authority at the urging of the rest of his government.
That’s the opposite of the CIA lies about the incident that the media parrot.
