weapons of fear ....

It was only seven Falls ago, the cities of New York and Washington, DC were gripped in utter fear. Pain and suffering were everywhere. New York and Washington, DC were savagely attacked and burned. Pols of all stripes had gathered in fear to legislate laws against the attackers and their financiers. A poorly-read and understood set of legislation passed in the Congress. They became the Patriot Act. The country was bailed out.

It was even more recent, six Falls ago, the nation was gripped in fear. The specter of weapons of mass destruction from a far and small rogue nation was upon us. It was employed with great effectiveness and sheer genius to lead a large proud nation into war. No weapons of mass destruction were ever found in that small rogue country. They were discovered only five years later in New York, and in London. They were the financial weapons of mass destruction.
