Terrorism Prevention? Or just money making.

 Attention!!!!  Tomorrow!!! 1pm to 5pm. 

Homeland Security Today <gtsccommunications@gtscoalition.com>

is offering this forum tomorrow.  Here’s what these forum leaders offer in tomorrow’s lessons,  May 20th, 2026 | 1:00 - 5:00 PM | Washington, D.C.  "Preventing terrorism is not only about stopping attacks—it is about recognizing when someone is being pulled toward hate, violence, and extremism before lives are destroyed.

Join us for Homeland Security Today's Inaugural Prevention Forum. Hosted in partnership with American University, HSToday will bring together leaders from government, law enforcement, academia, healthcare, the private sector, and civil society to explore how prevention efforts are evolving to address today’s threat landscape and build more resilient communities.

Through sessions exploring innovative prevention models, online threats and digital resilience, intervention strategies, community-based approaches, and emerging technologies, we will examine how practitioners across sectors are working to identify risks earlier, strengthen collaboration, and support prevention efforts before violence occurs.

As prevention continues to play a critical role across the homeland security enterprise, join us to learn about practical solutions, lessons learned, and forward-looking approaches that support safer communities and stronger public safety outcomes.

Terrorism could be prevented - with sufficient investment in sufficient clean water, safe sanitation, healthy food, medicines/vaccines, and the basic education needed to stop the most terrifying of all human experiences:  The loss, or just the fear of losing a child - from poverty, diseases, or bombs being dropped on their schools.  But even without violence, 11,000 to 13,000 children die daily from these easily affordable and preventable causes. 

The Truth is, the most effective means of preventing these deaths would be prioritizing our government and wealthy corporations, and billionaires, to invest sufficiently in achieving the UN 17 Sustainable Development Goals ASAP.   I’m guessing the SDGs will not even be mentioned. God I hope I’m wrong.  I do doubt that any money this organization collects charging for non-students to participate - will not be used for feeding hungry children or providing them with lifesaving vaccines. 

I’m guessing at best, these delusional, ignorant, or indoctrinated professionals are only offering preemption...such as the loss of privacy in their effort to find anyone suspected of committing an act of violent extremism.  Here’s a thought.  Keep our weapons, soldiers, spies, and surveillance systems here in the homeland.  And halt all targeting if there is any chance of collateral damage or an algorithm using outdated intelligence.  In other words, apply the wisdom gained from the knowledge of recent US military history of creating about ten more - so called “terrorists” - for every innocent person (collateral damage) killed.

The Truth is, this isn’t Rocket science.   I only hope these experts know WTF they are doing, other than making money, seeking a promotion, while violating their flag oath of “Liberty and justice for all”.  I’m guessing they sworn an oath to protect the U.S. Constitution.  Unfortunately, this only the protects our nation’s national sovereignty.  Not the protection of unalienable rights and the environment that everyone’s health and the health of future generations depend on.   

Constitutionally, the Department of Homeland Security is ‘independent’ of the Department of Defense (until Congress acts to change its name to the Department of War).  It would be interesting to know what Secretary Pete Hogsbreath, I mean Hegseth, would say regarding the prevention of terrorism.

If anyone takes this course...and I hope you do...please prove me wrong on anything I’ve just written.  The forum is free to students who use their school email address.  Take good notes!  chuck@igc.org

I can give you SSL hrs.
