RT: So why is this happening, why this reaction, why are they not taking some reports seriously, and others more so, how is this happening in places where security is so tight, everybody is monitored and key words like radicalism and bombs or “we’re going to kill people”. Surely they are key words the FBI should have picked up on, either way, whether its home grown or anything else? They would have done the same thing elsewhere?
CR: There are two possible explanations here and may be both apply. One is, as I was just talking to you, there is little idea that if you’re looking for a needle in a haystack the answer is not to put in more hay.
So they are collecting lots of data, masses of data, on innocent Americans. That’s all part of this top secret America. Eventually it hurts the ability to hone in on the real critical pieces and this again is what I’ve just mentioned. The other potential explanation is that the idea of terrorism being a confusing concept because we have our terrorists and their terrorists. The definition is supposed to be “acts of violence against civilians for political purposes”, but you see this over and over where the US considers they are good rebels and good freedom fighters at the very least the separatists in other countries are not considered as terrorists.
We have a whole establishment, a neoconservative establishment, in the US now which is heavily involved in propagandizing that there are good and bad rebel groups. For instance in Iran, is the latest example, of the Mujahedeen Khalq, which actually was on the US terrorist list and have now been delisted to become the good rebel fighters against Iran.
