Simple Ignorance Skews Public Perception
... 54 percent believe these taps have prevented some acts of terror. [Poll]
What the public doesn't know, because the media won't tell them, is that neither taps nor direct infiltration have prevented any acts of terror. At best, the billion dollar program - and all of the prosecutions - have precluded the contribution of a few hundred dollars to allegedly terrorist organizations [arguably "charitable" in a perverse sense].
Review the few dozen successful prosecutions [among many dozens more that were discarded by judges] and you will find that the "terrorist activity" consisted solely of making contributions (sometimes with FBI money) to a few disreputable Islamic "charities."
Those that incorporated any kind of planning for a "terrorist act" were laughed off by judges as preposterous. Most of the plans were created and promoted by FBI infiltrators, so they could get some kind of allegation, mainly for PR purposes, and at any cost - including the risk that they would be attempted.
Nor does any media report that 90% of the terrorists "captured" and put into Gitmo were handed over by an "Islamo-Fascist Dictatorship" (Pakistan) because they were enemies of the endorsed American puppets. They aren't prosecuted because there is no evidence against them, only the speculation and fears of Pakistani military intelligence.
The entire War Against Terror is a fabrication, at least in its execution and results.
