How Many Lives Were Lost in the US in the Last Five Years Due to Terrorist Attacks?

Lost in the steady drumbeat of the mainstream media (newspapers, schools, universities, political parties et al.,) to discredit the efforts of the President and his ‘hard love’ response to allowing further “opportunities” for the repetition of such 9/11/01 “freedom of expressions,” has been the fact that there has been NO more such deaths since then on the American homeland -- and the promise of unrelenting further attacks immediately after 9/11, have retrenched to the nebulous promise of those beyond the borders -- whenever the opportunity presents itself. And even then, the thinking is that their own fellow citizens are much less likely to invoke any forceful retaliation.

So while there is still no guarantee that one will never die -- and thus every attempt in ensuring one’s survival individually or as a society is futile -- as preached by the liberal wishful-thinkers, the results of the military actions abroad, have brought unprecedented levels of security at home, for which we should be appreciative and grateful that there was leadership in place that could make these tough decisions to bring us to even higher levels of safety at home AND abroad.

It’s easy to take these things for granted and think that they would have happened anyway -- and even DESPITE the bold leadership. The peculiarity of “liberal studies” is that there is no cause and effect -- but only wishful thinking, and the belief that for anything to happen, all one needs to do is wish for it long and hard enough, rather than doing the work and making the sacrifices to MAKE it happen. Such realities don’t exist in the minds of liberals (Democrats).

That’s why problems get worse -- and particularly so after adopting their “solutions.” Predictably, measurable achievement is even worse than ever, and we now need twice the money and staff, as the situation gets worse. Shortly, all society’s resources will be required to provide high paying jobs for “administrators,” just to manage the explosion of personnel to ensure that they receive even more “professional opportunities,” for something that has become its own reason for being.

However, the result of these relentless attacks on those acting with such purpose and conviction, is that they’ve undermined the credibility of such critics -- and we see the first wave imploding in the development of the newspapers all across the country. In their attempts to maintain the stranglehold on information, and particularly information seeking to undermine the power of any other institution, they discredited their own.

That’s how the beginning of the 21st Century unfolds -- bringing down the venerable institutions of the previous century -- which was the mass media and propaganda machine. It happened before everybody’s eyes. What arose in its stead was the personalized information networks -- of one’s own design. It was as good as one imagined it could be -- blocking out misinformation and disinformation, while seeking the best of the best offering breakthrough insights.
