Had some fellow trying to steal fertilizer from a farm a mile from my home. Feds were on to them, and asked family to stay with relative and positioned themselves to give them a warm welcome. Thieves shot first, but were carried away.
None of us would have known about it if there hadn't been a small article in the Indianapolis paper....Nothing, zilch, not a word in the local news. Family was instructed to keep quiet so not to tip others off. I heard about it from a friend that worked at the Co-op who delivered the material earlier in the day. He had an escort. He's the one that found the article in the paper....only because he was looking for it.
It's a complicated issue, I think, about how much media silence is ideal. We need informed voters, on the one hand. We need secrecy on the other hand. Your post on 217 is enlightening. And I understand very well how the old media could blow it if this suicide bomber report isn't handled properly.
At the same time, we need occassional wakeup calls. That is an absolute must. The fact that the wife of a terrorist pardoner is so popular should be cause for concern about just how informed voters are.
There must be a happy medium out there.
Probably were part of the McVeigh crowd. Since the early 00's, that crowd has become very receptive to the AQ message based on hatred of Jews and based on their mistaken beliefs that the "US is controlled by Zionist imperialists" etc.
I am tired of being patient. There needs to be a massive COINTELPRO like operation to once and for all root out and arrest as many of the enemy within as possible. Many will cry "fascism" but I do believe it is needed. No pain no gain.
