I'm old enough to know government knew enough advance warning that terrorism will be a great threat to our national security,Iwas writing about future threats when and if the Berlin Wall comes down as I thought it would once the Cold War ends,in 1987 I sent My congressman the critical reason's threat assessment report it contained the following hypothesis on the future terrorist threats once the Berlin Wall comes down,once the unification process begins in Europe it can open up highway routes for terrorists cells to use our visa programs either acquiring work permit visas or school visas that allows these radical groups into the UNITED STATES,these loopholes in our immigration policy to the U.S. are cracks in our national defense that can be exploited,so,why would terrorist want to attack the United States,in those days,bin ladin was already making statements like he defeated the Soviets and now we will defeat the United States,knowing these threats it will be essential to close these loophole cracks,like imposing a terrorist watch list atthe end of the Cold War in Europe this would apply to airline travel or ship travel to the United States,if alQuida were to attack the U.S.it will be certain they would target our financial districts like Wall Street or Chicago or San Francisco,
In the conversations on threat assessments it took critical reason to the next Crack in the national defense the southern border ,where I said,"once you address the cracks in travel visas to the U.S.the southern border needs more fortified security as this border is wide open,these conversations went on for several months covering different examples of national defense weaknesses,I emphasized we are no longer a safe island protected by two oceans anymore that is antiquated thinking and needs revision to combat free access to travel here.
That was 1988 and the wall came down a year later,and critical reason knew the threats were out there,but Washington DC had this uphoria about the end of the Cold War and was turning a blind eye to terrorist coming here,and Critical reason model's were saying,"At what costs to ignore such threats"?
If you are old enough,or maybe not,but when terrorists attack the parking garage,I said,"it's too late terrorists are here and more are probably arriving.What danger lay ahead,and New York seems to be the target of choice,
The Clinton administration was clearly ignoring the threat at this point,when would he wake up,and he never did wake up to seriousness,all I could was write more concerns trying to wake up our government is like talking to a brick wall they just didn't want to hear it.
