America__In The Clutch of a 5th Column

The Fifth Column “We can beat anybody, on the battlefield,” one American general gloated publicly, during the summer of 2006, or so. By most accounts and measures, in all-out war, not likely too many informed souls would argue with that assertion. Yet, on the battlefield, or, not, beaten she must and will be. The means having been established in the previous discussion, the prevailing question only looms larger: How? Regardless of strength and heedless of might, on the battlefield and off, the creative and clever among U. S. enemies have been devising simple but highly effective and deadly means of exploiting holes and kinks in her armor. 9/11 being perhaps a prime example, the solution becomes quite simple, does it not? Recall again the Trojan Horse from Greek mythology. Fabled though it was thousands of years ago, might it not be a tale worth revisiting, in these dangerous, last times? War is Good For The Economy! On September 11, 2001, forces led by a blond-haired and blue-eyed monster breached America’s security posture, completely shutting it down and bypassing it, at a critical and most dangerous time in the history of the United States of America, and of the world (the black-haired, jibberish-speaking Arab is merely an otherwise inconsequential tool; a convenient means to an end, a scapegoat, at his complete disposal). Corporate bigwigs who run the country’s government and defense industries, who live, breathe and who thrive on the notion that “war is good for the economy” (Side Bar: War is Good for the Economy! P. 185), will provoke the attack that will lead to the inevitable downfall of these United States of America. It might be argued, quite rightly, that 02/26/1993 was a precursor to 9/11/2001, which was without a doubt a blood-soaked ‘dry’ run, precursory to much bigger, more far-reaching, even bloodier, things to come. It provided valuable, firsthand battlefield reconnaissance and thus the assurance that, not only does the enemy have control, but he also has the high ground from which he can dictate and take complete control of U. S. defense systems and forces, anytime he wants, on his terms. The WTC incident did not happen in some remote area, at night, when and where visibility might have been obscure at best. It occurred in broad daylight, in the front yard of the heartbeat of this nation’s government and defense systems, right under the noses of the nation’s top officials entrusted with the over-sight of either. It occurred not just following months of preparation for a national crisis, but in the midst of an exercise to prevent one, while the wrong man was in charge of the country’s chief defense mechanism! The Enemy Is Us!
