After 9/11, Perry’s Texas Wasted Homeland Security Money On Sports Cars, Neckties, And A Hog Catcher

Fort Worth Star-Telegram examination of thousands of purchases also found a a $21 fish tank in Seguin, a $24,000 latrine on wheels in Fort Worth, and a real pork project — a hog catcher in Liberty County.

The audit concluded that Texas passed on Homeland Security funds to local governments “without adequately defined goals and objectives to strengthen preparedness and response to attacks or disasters.” Instead of monitoring how local officials were performing their responsibilities, the state asked them to rate their own performance. Predictably, without oversight from the state government, local officials used the money as they saw fit — which included expenses that had nothing to do with making citizens safer.

TVNL Comment: This was done because they knew terrorism was not a real threat. Just as the Bush administration never followed the recommendations made by the 9/11 Commission, DHS knew and knows that 9/11 was a false flag operation. The funding of the DHS and by the DHS is just a show for the idiots who don't realize this. They spend money on nonsense because the only bigger nonsense is the promulgated threat of terrorism. And put in context, cigarettes pose a greater threat to American lives every year and kill more people every year then did the events of 9/11...and nobody defends your children from them!
