Top Intel Lawyer: Terror Attack Would Help Push for Anti-Encryption Legislation

Yes, that is called a false flag. It happens and might be a lot more common than you think. Released documents even state that this is something they plan to use (at least in the digital realm) to support their agenda.

I wonder at what point everyone will finally call bullshit on all of this. The attitudes developed by their propaganda has only generated more and more animosity and hate between people. If the objective was really to protect public safety, they should just put themselves in jail and throw away the keys.

Unfortunately, there is no economic incentive for them to stop violence. The more violence that happens (even if it is an indirect byproduct of their backwards policies) only generates more fear in congress to throw more money and power in their direction. Additionally, they do not hesitate in any way to lie and misrepresent information in a way that benefits them and there is little repercussion for not doing their jobs to the utmost standard. The too big to jail mentality is more dangerous to our country than anything. Clearly this hasn't been effective and a more effective way to solve the problem would be to restrict their funding more and more for their mistakes.
