New World Order News
“Top Secret America” was a two-year investigative report completed by the Washington Post. This controversial document tackles the secretive world created by the government to answer to the call for homeland security which was initiated due to the attacks of September 11, 2001. According to the Post, this alternative society has become so massive that it is not feasible to determine the extent of its operations. It is unknown how many agencies it has under its belt, how much has been spent for its numerous programs and the employees hired.
The government has managed to hide a “Top Secret America” from the public for nine years. The unprecedented scale of its operations has lead to its enormous growth which is now impossible to track accurately. Based on the information gathered in the investigation efforts, there are 3,202 private and public institutions that run programs relevant to counter terrorism. There are 10,000 homeland security locations for intelligence in the U.S. and approximately 854,000 individuals have top-secret security clearances. In Washington alone, 17 million square feet of space is occupied by 33 building complexes for top-secret intelligence work since September 2001. That space is equivalent to what three Pentagons or 22 U.S. Capitol buildings occupy.
It seems as if the Post has enough to expose the government’s abuse. Then again, in Joel Skousen’s World Affairs Brief on July 23, 2010 he declares that tantalizing information sold papers but did not have enough clout to expose the illicit side of the government’s operations. He claims that these covert activities were more directed at patriotic citizens than the real enemies. What the government is truly concerned about is that Americans might rebel against the growing totalitarian state in the future.
Skousen continues to claim that there is a “dark side” to all of this. The hidden budgets, false stories, compartmentalization, and front activities deceive honest employees from knowing the truth. If and when people start asking questions, they are subtly warned which discourages the raising of questions.
Overall, Skousen is disappointed in the outcome of the Post’s investigation. There is no substance to which it can be proven that the U.S. government’s actions are illegal. He wanted the newspaper to connect all these actions are directed to defend the agenda of the New World Order.
