To posit that one’s government may be partially composed of unaccountable criminal elements is cause for serious censure in polite circles.

“For the most part we do not first see, and then define,” Walter Lippmann observed in 1921, “we define first and then see.

The news media’s readiness to accept official pronouncements and failure to more vigorously analyze and question government authorities in the wake of “domestic terrorist” incidents including mass shootings and bombings contributes to the American public’s already acute case of collective historical amnesia, while further rationalizing the twenty-first century police state and continued demise of civil society.
