    most of these security agencies effectiveness is just in the myth’s they’ve built around themselves of actually being effective.

    mossad in particular, just has a complete disregard for killing innocents and a really good propaganda wing to suppress all their fuckups.

    fact is lone wolf threats are practically unstoppable, especially if they have a modicum of competency

    most killers are not right in the head, they act on pure emotion, they fucking post “i am going kill X” the night before going to kill X…it’s dumb as shit. that’s how low the bar is on utilizing violence

      Also lots of killers seek psychiatric help voluntarily (and are often sadly ignored). For a sane, moderately competent person it’s easy to plan the perfect murder or terror attack – it’s a different thing to carry it through because a sane person also has mental guardrails.

      Mossad is effective because Israelis are ruthlessly trained to dehumanize anyone who’s an obstacle to their goals.

      I mean, tell it to Jeffery Epstein. The man was pulling strings halfway around the world with his endless supply of blackmail and bribery.
