Homeland (false sense of) Security, And The White House Break-In

At about 7:19 p.m. on Sept. 19, according an officer who filed an affidavit in federal court, a man later identified as Omar Gonzalez was seen scaling the north fence of the White House. The officer who filed the court statement was among those who shouted at the man to stop. He did not -- and ran across the lawn toward the White House.“Moments later,” according to the court document, the intruder went through the north doors of the White House and entered the building. He entered through an unlocked door. At that point, Secret Service Director Julia Pierson confirmed in testimony on Tuesday, the intruder “knocked back” a Secret Service officer posted near the door. Pierson said Gonzalez and the same officer then crossed the East Entrance Hall together, made a left turn down another hall and “stepped momentarily into the East Room.” As the suspect got deeper into the White House, sources said there was a struggle and a lot of “wrestling.” According to Pierson, another officer showed up and got Gonzalez on the ground, “on the carpet and handcuffed.” Gonzalez was apprehended in the hall, just outside the nearby Green Room. House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman revealed Tuesday that, in the course of this breach, at least five rings of security were breached. Holy Shit people! How can DHS say that they are succeeding in protecting it's citizens, when they can't even keep somebody from breaking in to the White House! Then of course there was the shooting at the windows of the family quarters back in 2011. In the latest humiliation for the Secret Service, an unauthorized armed man was allowed to ride an elevator with President Obama during a tour of CDC headquarters in Atlanta. The truth is folks, we are only truly safe from harm if we are 100% prepared ALL the time. Now does that mean that we should all live in constant fear every second of our lives? No. But we DO need to wake up and realize that the world has changed for the worse since 9/11. Every American citizen should be educated in today's world events, and personally trained to protect themselves when harm does come their way. That is a great start. But relying on our government do-do birds to do all the protecting, is a serious mistake on our part. We need to quit hiding under this false sense of security blanket that our "big brother" in Washington has so generously provided, and get informed, and get prepared because I have a feeling that this is just the beginning of worse things to come. Read the current world events and follow the signs, and we will know this to be true. Or, you can dismiss me as a crack pot, and continue playing your video games till 4 AM and chatting it up on Facebook.(which by the way IS monitored by the government) Thanks, have a great day!
