Warning: Our Government Is a Threat to Public Safety
Michelle Malkin | Sep 18, 2013
Forget gun control. America needs government control. Have you noticed
the common thread among several mass killings and homeland security incidents
lately?
Time and again, it's the control freaks in Washington who have fallen
down on their jobs, allowing crazies, creeps and criminals to roam free and
wreak havoc while ignoring rampant red flags. Let's review:
Washington Navy Yard shooter Aaron Alexis: Despite gun-grabbing
Democrats' best efforts to blame a nonexistent "AR-15" for this week's
horrific Navy Yard massacre, the truth is seeping out about shooter Aaron
Alexis. The 34-year-old Navy veteran had been treated since August by the
Veterans Administration for a host of mental problems that plagued him for up
to a decade.
Officials say Alexis was paranoid, had a sleep disorder, suffered from
schizophrenia and was "hearing voices." He told Newport, R.I., police after an
altercation just last month that he believed a "microwave machine" was sending
vibrations through a wall into his body. Friends say he was a heavy drinker
and violent video game addict. A ticking time bomb, he had racked up a string
of misconduct incidents during his military stint ranging from absenteeism to
insubordination to disorderly conduct. He was arrested in Seattle in 2004 and
in Fort Worth, Texas, in 2010 for separate anger-fueled shootings that
terrorized neighbors and innocent bystanders.
Yet somehow Alexis passed several military background checks, gained
high-level security clearance and had access to multiple military
installations. The civilian contractor who employed Alexis blasted the feds on
Tuesday for failing to fully disclose his history. "Anything that suggests
criminal problems or mental health issues, that would be a flag," Thomas
Hoshko of The Experts told The Washington Post. "We would not have hired him."
And 12 innocent people might still be alive today.
Fort Hood jihadist Nidal Hasan: The red flag-ignoring government seems to
have become an affirmative action employer for rage-filled madmen. Fort Hood
jihadist Nidal Hasan, sentenced to death last month, had warned his military
superiors well in advance of the massacre that he was prone to violence.
Citing convicted Army fragger Hasan Akbar and others, Hasan emphasized that he
was not alone among Muslim soldiers who believed they "should not serve in any
capacity that renders them at risk to hurting/killing believers
unjustly."
The feds buried concerns about Hasan and instead kept him employed to
prevent accusations of discrimination. They did not want to be "crucified,"
according to one Army investigator. Twelve innocent men and women, plus one
unborn baby, died as a consequence of the government's malign neglect and
feckless indulgence of political correctness.
TSA nutball Nna Alpha Onuoha: Then there's the TSA. Last week, a former
TSA agent was arrested on the 12th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks for calling
in threats to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and warning that there
would be a "baptism of fire" on 9/11/13. Investigators found a raft of
handwritten nutball notes by disgruntled TSA screener 29-year-old Nna Alpha
Onuoha tacked up in his closet. Onuoha also operated a bizarro website titled
Satanhasfallen.org, which featured "end of the world" essays. He was the same
TSA agent who made headlines earlier this summer after harassing a 15-year-old
girl at LAX over her modest apparel.
How did this young, single male from Nigeria of limited means get into
the country in the first place, let alone end up at the TSA? I've heard from
countless veterans and former police officers over the years who were rejected
from TSA positions for being "overqualified." Yet somehow Onuoha moved to the
front of the TSA employment line.
How many more? The agency's lax background checks and politically correct
hiring practices are notorious. In July, the Government Accountability Office
reported a 26-percent rise in employee misconduct violations over the past
three years, ranging from theft to chronic sleeping on the job to ignoring
basic screening protocols. Discipline is inconsistent to nonexistent. Last
year, GOP Rep. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee documented 50 galling examples of
TSA employees arrested for crimes ranging from child pornography, drugs, rape
and prostitution to bribery, conspiracy, assault and murder.
Two years ago, another GAO report revealed that TSA's counterterrorism
specialists had failed to detect 16 separate jihad operatives who moved
through target airports "on at least 23 different occasions." Meanwhile, the
Department of Homeland Security has released nearly 3,000 illegal alien sex
offenders from detention. And rank-and-file ICE agents blew the whistle this
summer on the Obama administration's release of untold numbers of violent
criminals who were designated as amnesty-eligible "DREAMers."
The motto of our homeland security overlords is "not on our watch." But
like so much else attached to our post-9/11 national security bureaucracy,
that motto has become a punchline. With the feds and military leaders looking
the other way or closing their eyes altogether to menaces within their ranks,
there is no watch. It's a Code Red alert for government incompetence.

Note: While still very early, I believe some of these links may
have a good deal of relevance to the incident.
The Obama administration trying to limit criminal background checks by
private business.
Having spent years in the Defense world in various capacities, ongoing
security and background checks were, at one time, the norm.
