The manufactering of terror

Charles Perrow at the HuffPost puts to rest the likelihood of an external nuclear terrorist attack. Without a massive amount of logistics and state sponsorship the threat has a snowball's chance of being carried out.

However, in a post below is a link to what the U.S. Government is doing to prepare for just such an event. The question I have is why are they so keen about it? The only reason I can think of is that the manufactured scare of mushroom clouds on American soil is but a ruse to institute martial law and complete the coup d'etat begun with Ronald Reagan and ending with the election of George W. Bush.

Now they are looking to ensure that the grip of empire is tightened so that when the real shit hits the fan with peak oil, peak soil, and global heating, that they and they alone are guaranteed survival against the masses that would guillotine them if we had such instruments. They want to de-populate the earth and totally enslave what's left so that they will be the undisputed rulers of all of earth.

To which I say, the more they tighten their grip, the more will slip through their fingers.
