I've personally felt ongoing stochastic terrorism was always one of the aims of the war on terror.
One of the deep state aims or the aims of brutal power or whatever you want to call it, not necessaril of individuals fighting the WoT. It's a market opportunity for the M/SIC.
That's why we are hoping so much that what we are doing in Australia about COVID will work. Our federal government tried a tracking app for contact tracing (law enforcement has the tools and legal instruments to access this shit anyway, it was simply to speed the tracing process.). A lot of people bought into it and it turned out to be a dysfunctional shambles that cost more than $10million.
We don't trust that shit to work properly let alone trust authority with it.
Watch this stuff drive calls to expand tracing from COVID contacts to potential terror contacts.
Providing things haven't completely fallen apart in the Northern Hemisphere.
