Above: Federal Failure At Damon Point
A short period of time and much has gone on.
Here, at Oak Bay Starfish, we’re still fascinated with the fake War on Terror. We recognize that both major parties and the press are not about asking questions in this area.
Why It Matters
US Troops were sent into life and death situations in the aftermath of 911.
For this reason it is important to ask questions and develop a feel for what is real and what is honest.
It feels like a society where honest and meaningful ideas stand up to questioning and discussion, but the questioning and discussion rarely takes place.
You can be sure that newspeople and the school teachers who stage Veterans Day assemblies will never ask questions to make sense of how sending US troops to distant lands is related to American rights and freedoms. They will avoid questions related to airport security theater.
Reaching for an honest understanding of how all this works seems to be completely off limits.
The Troops are sent into life and death situations in distant lands for our freedoms and safety? Decades later, how about a discussion on how all this is meant to work.
No REAL ID, Pay A Fee – Our Questions
What keeps the terrorists with no ID of any kind from creating a disruption at the back end of the airport security screening line?
Guaranteed: No TV newsperson anywhere will ever ask this question. Americans do not live in a free and honest society.
Decades Past 911 – A Fake War On Terror
In recent years, the press tends to support government agencies, departments and policies rather than question them.
Below:
A total of 3 Seattle TV newspeople work this story on camera. Zero questions from any of them.
KOMO News
Imagine the TV newsperson, on camera, escorting the TSA official all the way to the back of the “be sure to arrive early line” and asking what keeps the bad guys from creating a disruption at that point.
Year after year, more of the same. Similar cheerful videos, TV newspeople interviewing each other.
No voices of dissent. No passengers with questions about security theater will ever make it on air.
Sealed Borders?
Over and again, we are told by Trump and his team that the borders are sealed.
Real Newspeople May Ask
Are Seattle area drug addicts having any problem finding their cartel product of choice due to any federal drug war effort?
US Dept. of Homeland Security – The people who fail to keep cartel product away from local communities will be keeping the Super Bowl safe.
Just ask the DEA about sealed borders:
Below:
The made for TV DEA spokesperson lets us know what to think.
Newspeople play along by not asking questions:
Under Kristi Noem
Cartels move product into all 50 states.
DEA High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas:
“…HIDTA-designated counties are located in 50 states…”
Welcome Home Troops. Thanks for doing time/risking your ass in Iraq and Afghanistan, working to keep a post 911 USA safe & secure.
Don’t worry-The Super Bowl and public affairs will be safe:
Real newspeople may ask:
If special games require special security-what keeps regular games safe? Crowd size/capacity is similar at several stadiums.
Are fans less safe at regular games?
What prevents terror strikes at hundreds of events & locations unsupervised by federal authorities?
What stops terrorists from going 2 states over and driving a truck across the playground at a daycare center?
What Others Are Saying
From worst of times to even worse: the Trump administration continues to spiral

“Bovino had cultivated his image for propaganda purposes just as carefully as former beauty queen Kristi Noem adjusts her outfits. He has been highly conscious of how he presented himself as a paramilitary fashion plate for what he calls his “turn and burn” raids. Bovino is the only one on an ICE raid who does not mask his face, so that he is the only personification of Trump’s brutal tactics. He poses in his photo on his Twitter/X in tactical gear holding an M4 rifle with a telescopic sight.”
“He wears a full-length dark military coat with bulky square shoulders, a high collar and decorated with military-like patches to attempt to project an intimidating presence.”
The GOP is losing one of its best issues
