"Top Secret America" was the title of the report based on a two-year investigation conducted by The Washington Post. It talks about a secret world created after the September 11, 2001 terrorist assault on the nation. It claims that a "hidden world growing beyond control" was in place. This secretive world evaded public view and speculation for nine years in order to keep the United States safe. It has since become so massive that it is impossible to determine how many people are part of it, how much it costs, and how many agencies have the same function. Whether or not it is truly effective remains immeasurable.
Findings in the report indicated some 1,271 government organizations and 1,931 private companies involved in counter terrorism programs, homeland security and intelligence. As many as 845,000 people have access to top-secret security clearances. Washington has 33 building complexes that have been built since 2001. Its combined area is equivalent to three Pentagons, which is approximately 17 million square feet. Numerous intelligence and security divisions conduct the same operations which leads to waste and redundancy. Conversations and documents are analyzed in reports. Their yearly volume adds up to a total 50,000. Since this number is so large, many of the reports are routinely ignored.
There are innumerable agencies working on similar duties and programs creating a lot of waste and redundancy; an example is the 51 federal organizations, including military commands that focus on 15 terrorist networks in U.S. soil. Analysts study taped conversations and documents from domestic and foreign counterintelligence efforts. This leads to a volume of 50,000 annual reports, such a large number meant that most of these documents are routinely ignored.
Skousen continues to claim that there is a "dark side" to all of this. The hidden budgets, false stories, compartmentalization, and front activities deceive honest employees from knowing the truth. If and when people start asking questions, they are subtly warned which discourages the raising of questions.
In his opinion, the Post also failed in connecting the mercenary contractor explosion to certain companies, that which will surely threaten individual liberties. The authorities do not hire foreign armies to eliminate citizens who refuse to succumb to the New World Order. Americans themselves are trained to become mercenaries and get the job done without any questions. Skousen accuses that these actions were very similar to Nazi operations.
