Something is hugely wrong with America. The heart of the matter is our own security. It is simultaneously super-overwhelming strong and utterly in tatters, the leadership at odds, the inability to get anyone to do anything sane to make America safe is now raging like a fire out of control. Even as bin Laden taunts us repeatedly, the people supervising our joint national interests are all running away to make more money working for international corporate interests.
Everyone who takes the top FBI postion for fighting terrorists in America quits in less than a year to go make loot protecting corporate interests mostly overseas.

Years of pummeling by the press and Congress, plus wrenching changes produced by the FBI's shift in focus to antiterrorism, have depressed morale at the bureau and are causing senior agents to mull job offers worth as much as $600,000 a year in the private sector, TIME's Brian Bennett and Adam Zagorin will report in Monday editions, RAW STORY has learned.
*snip*
The turnover has hit some of the most vital positions in the bureau hierarchy. In five years, six different people have moved through the post of counterterrorism chief, overseeing what has been the FBI's core mission since 9/11. And June 2 was the last day for 29-year veteran Gary Bald, 52, who retired just 10 months after being tapped to start up the FBI's new National Security Branch. He's taking a security job with Royal Caribbean Cruises, TIME reports.
Members of the Senate Judiciary Committee have been debating whether the brain drain at the FBI poses a threat to national security. “The FBI cannot be a revolving door for senior managers,” says Senator Chuck Grassley. “It needs stability in these important positions to fight in the war on terror.”
When a corrupt empire reaches such an impass that no one wants to bother protecting it, it falls. Plonk. All it takes is one small push. Afghanistan is tremendously smallers and weaker as well as poorer than the mighty Soviet State yet they brought it down and they intend to bring us down, too, using the identical tools of the trade and they are succeeding wonderfully for the same reasons.
No one ruling America believes in America's existence. They are not 'All for one and one for all' but are 'All for me and none for you.' This is leading to a major rout as everyone runs to the biggest pile of money to stuff their pockets, steal the silverware and throw the bolster out the window. In other words, looting America trumps protecting America.
The farce of the world's mightiest empire with the biggest honking army, navy and airforce, ruling the skies, the heavens, under the seas and on land, unable to find even a handful of soldiers capable of patrolling a border is beyond laughable.
IT IS TREASON.
Even as many on the left cry for Bush to be impeached, this impulse to betray our nation is now so powerful that even feeble efforts at window dressing falter and collapse, this is not time to talk about impeachement but treason. Treason is far more serious. This isn't removal from office, this is an executable offence.
Many thousands of Americans died because of treason.
When not one person was removed from office, blamed or punished for the utter, total, complete collapse of every single facet of our internal defense systems on 9/11, this meant that America was content with letting traitors operate openly and since that foul day, they have.
The many billions of money raised by giving our potential enemies a halter with a bitter bit in our mouths, this money which was earmarked for protecting America was completely frittered away and even with $500 billion a year raised, not one penny has made us one bit safer. We are not only as open to attack today as on 9/11, we are worse off, for the traitors are very bold now, cravenly taking high office only to pad their resumes so they can work against America. Learning all our secrets so they can use it for the UAE. Trading their knowledge for personal gain.
The dying Byzantine Empire had this, too. Heck, read the sad tale of any dying empire, it is all the same. Money raised to defend the realm wasted on frivolities, fripperies, flopperies and popperies. Aimless actions and badly planned excursions into distant lands of little strategic value or impotent or only insuring endless wars with truly hostile powers, all empires set in a sea of blood.
They DIE.
And we are on the edge of that terrible, bloody historical cliff!
And what about this? What is our danger? What????
An Air Force installation in Colorado Springs and one near Denver are operating with heightened security.
The Cheyenne Mountain Air Station, which houses NORAD, is now at "Bravo-Plus".
There are five levels of alert: normal, Alpha (low), Bravo (medium), Charlie (high) and Delta (critical). “Bravo-Plus” is slightly higher than a medium threat level.
The Cheyenne Mountain Air Station And Buckley Air Force Base are among four installations in the country at the higher alert level ordered last week by then- Acting-Commander of Air Force Space Command, General Fred Klotz.
Space Command would not comment on the reason for the security increase.
The order also affects Vandenberg Air Force Base in California and Patrick air force base in Florida.
More mysteries. What is coming from space? Tiny hermit kingdom of North Korea is going to nail us? Eh? Or a celestial object that is sailing merrily past even as I type and as our messed up space program can't launch even one space shuttle? We did manage to get the dying Hubble Telescope operational again. The scientists who toil so selflessly in the space program pull off one miracle after another even as their funds are reduced thanks to the huge, traitorous waste of funds on fake security.
I feel maybe we should have the robot on 'Lost in Space' appear on TV every day, waving his arms, saying, 'Danger, danger, danger, Will Robinson!'
Like any depraved army ravaging lands at will, our troops are murdering and raping the people of Iraq.
By BASSEM MROUE, Associated Press Writer 49 minutes ago
BAGHDAD, Iraq - An influential Sunni organization in Iraq said Sunday that allegations U.S. soldiers raped an Iraqi woman, then killed her and her family were "a sign of shame to the American invaders."
U.S. officials have said a group of American soldiers entered the home of a Sunni family in the insurgent-ridden town of Mahmoudiya, south of Baghdad, raped and killed the woman, then set fire to her body and killed three of her family members in an apparent cover-up attempt.
The loss of espirit d'corps is not easily remedied. Historically, it is like gangrene within any empire that is infected. It spreads rapidly and ends killing the kingdom unless amputated. Retreat from Iraq is an amputation. Keeping this foul limb attached to our empire is killing us. There is no other historical remedy, no, the Goddess of History becomes the Furies of Hell as she unleashes the powers of the Gods upon humanity. The Three Norns churn the stars as they sing a dire song, their cold, etheral voices echoing in the crashing seas below, froth and wind battering the land.
And a ship flounders and sinks.
The unit that raped and murdered happens to be the same one that the two soldiers were kidnapped from and mutilated, this happening, evidently as retaliation. Such savagries are what our empire can expect, we having repudiated all interantional laws and treaties.
I cannot fix this mess. No one person can. When Rep. Murtha stood up and bravely took this bull by the horns and demanded a final amputation of Iraq from our body politic, he wasn't supported by his own party and he has been subjected to infamy and vile threats just like any media reporting the secret financial and communication spying scandals is now being threatened as if they are the traitors even though no newspaper has any way of either enabling or exploiting 9/11 type events.
Only the people running and ruining our government. And they are all, without exception at this point, traitors. In most cases, the people of an empire can exercise some control by actively removing the top leadership of any traitorous cabal. The lesser members usually change their tune when they see their leaders fall just as all those Nazis melted away when Hitler and his gang went under.
Maybe I shouldn't play Götterdämmerung by Wagner when writing about national security issues.
