I don't know whether or not you noticed, but it seemed like the majority of rescues conducted during Hurricane Harvey were by civilians or local resources.
What was the US government doing? Harassing peaceful protesters?
Here's a photo of their response to a pipeline protest:
Note the big trucks sent to crush the protest. Did you see any such trucks in Houston to help after Harvey? I didn't.
Here is an oilfield service company with global reach:
You think that maybe, just maybe, some of their employees are spies for the US government?
I would be astonished if US intelligence agencies did not at least try to recruit them.
The U.S. government has prosecuted more than 800 people for terrorism since the 9/11 attacks. Most of them never committed an act of violence.

Meanwhile, dozens of ACTUAL terrorists were ignored by the authorities until they committed an ACTUAL attack.
What kind of strategy is that?
North Korea apparently has just detonated an H-bomb. You can read about it here:

It light of this, we ought to evaluate who is the greatest threat to the US. Here is a list of candidates:
- Kim Jong-un
- Vladimir Putin
- George Soros
- Obama ad-Dajjal
- Hillary Clinton
- Mark Zuckerberg
- Jeff Bezos
- everyone at Google
North Korea has threatened us, but can they actually attack us? Many think not.
Putin has not threatened us, yet we are trying mightily to find an excuse to attack Russia.
George Soros seems to be committed to the destruction of the US as we know it.
Obama ad-Dajjal and Hillary are no doubt working behind the scenes to assist him in that effort.
And Zuck, Bezos, and the Googlers are hell-bent on turning the US into something more amenable to their plans for the future. To do this requires that the US as we know it be "reinvented" (i.e., destroyed).
North Korea and Russia may or may not be a REAL threat to the US, but you can be damn sure the others on the list are our mortal enemies.
Unless, of course, you are one of their minions. In that case, you're probably a member of the wrecking crew yourself.
... at least not until we solve this newly discovered problem:
The astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson commented that ‘dinosaurs are extinct today because they lacked the opposable thumbs and brainpower to build a space programme’.
Yet although we now have the technological ability to leave Earth, scientists have found another stumbling block to colonising new worlds - our own immune system.
Although it is said we are all made of ‘star stuff’ when it comes to travelling away from our home planet humans are far more vulnerable to the rigours of space than our interstellar origins might suggest.
Billions of years of evolution has effectively backed mankind into a corner of the Solar System that it may be now be tricky to leave.

Hey, not to worry - we'll just change ourselves into a different organism so we can make the journey. How? Probably by using CRISPR:

Pretty cool technology, huh?
Ironically, the changes necessary for us to make the trip may turn us into something which no longer is human. Which means that "we" are not going to Mars after all. The Martian colonists will be counterfeit humans.
Facebook allegedly has created a map which shows every human habitation on earth. You can read about it here:

In military terms, you might call this a "targeting" map. And that's just what it appears to be.
Have you noticed that just about every news story these days boils down to a single principle:
RESISTANCE IS FUTILE !!!
The world’s top oil importer, China, is preparing to launch a crude oil futures contract denominated in Chinese yuan and convertible into gold, potentially creating the most important Asian oil benchmark and allowing oil exporters to bypass U.S.-dollar denominated benchmarks by trading in yuan, Nikkei Asian Review reports.
The crude oil futures will be the first commodity contract in China open to foreign investment funds, trading houses, and oil firms. The circumvention of U.S. dollar trade could allow oil exporters such as Russia and Iran, for example, to bypass U.S. sanctions by trading in yuan, according to Nikkei Asian Review. To make the yuan-denominated contract more attractive, China plans the yuan to be fully convertible in gold on the Shanghai and Hong Kong exchanges.

Trump will get the blame for this, but it all started a long time before he decided to run for the White House. You can find some background material on this issue here:

The "dream" is indeed coming to an end, courtesy of a whole lot of stupid people in DC and NYC.
