Creating a new boogie man

First there was the drug war.

And there actually were a lot of drugs to be found and the government helped bring in more whenever it had the chance.

And billions of dollars in law enforcement “make work” projects were created and civil liberties were shredded.

Then there was the “War on Terror”

Not many terrorists, so lots of creative “Wag the Dog” like stories were generated to manufacture threats…to justify countless billions in domestic empire building.

Now we have cyberwar. The real threat is the Chinese, but going after real threats hasn’t been the US’s strong suit lately, so, as in the “War on Terror,” a new war had to be stage managed.

Enter “W”, kind of like Zoro or “V” but with a hipper look.
