In the news, BBC reported that: "Officials in the US dismantle one of the largest online child pornography rings ever uncovered, the Department of Homeland Security says."
Child pornography, especially the making of it when it involves real children, is disgusting. But what has "Homeland Security" to do with it?
The idea of homeland security was sold to the U.S. public as a response to an alien terrorist act. The entire stretching of the Constitution and gleichschaltung of government agencies -- state and federal -- was justified in the name of national security against extraordinary risks and dangers to the country as a whole.
The N.S.S. is nothing new by now. The investigation and the story it allows were simply designed to promote acceptance of surveillance and control.
Lest we forget, our government is protecting us from evil, rooting out evil and preventing evil. It is a thankless, never ending task which warrants our gratitude.
