The Chertoff Century

He hasn’t been the head of the DHS since the Republicans went out in 2009, but like an STD, Michael Chertoff continues to infect the nation.  In a powerful video, BrasscheckTV reminds us that he is profiting greatly from his continuing fear-mongering, because he represents the company that makes the dangerous, privacy-violating scanners that have been installed in airports in response to the strange thwarted attack by the African underwear bomber.   Brasscheck suggests that we should call the current era the “Chertoff Century” because of his pernicious influence, from primary authorship of the freedom-destroying Patriot Act all the way to his current role profiting from the airport radiation gauntlets. 

Particularly chilling is the second Brasscheck video, originally aired on MSNBC, of the horrors visited upon the people of New Orleans in the wake of the Katrina disaster.  We have been led to believe that the primary responsibility for the extraordinarily poor performance of federal rescuers lay with FEMA head Michael D. Brown and secondarily with President George W. Bush who prematurely proclaimed that “Brownie” was “doing a heck of a job.”  It was easy to forget at the time that Chertoff, as head of the Department of Homeland Security, had immediate responsibility for FEMA’s failures because FEMA is under DHS.  The almost demonic treatment of the people at the New Orleans Convention Center also raises questions as to whether there might have been more than pure incompetence involved.  One has to wonder if this might have been some social experiment cooked up by Chertoff and his cohorts in preparation for worse things that they might have in store for the country.

Conspicuously missing from Brasscheck’s litany of charges against Chertoff is that before he was DHS head, he was the head of the criminal division of the Department of Justice.  That put him in the key position to solve the crime of 9/11 and to bring the perpetrators to justice.  Put another way, he was in the perfect position to cover the crime up.  He was the man responsible for sending back to Israel the so-called “dancing Israelis” who were seen apparently celebrating the attack on the twin towers, even after they were found to be employed not by a legitimate moving company but by the Mossad.  And it was on his watch that the evidence in the form of the destroyed buildings in New York was quickly gathered up and sold for scrap abroad.
