US Intelligence Training at Michigan Synagogue Preceded Attack CBS News Calls "Isolated"
CBS News, in its March 12 "The Takeout with Major Garrett" segment, reported on investigations into an unspecified "attack" at a Michigan synagogue, presenting it as a standalone incident. The report, alongside other alleged crimes, avoids any inquiry into potential pre-existing conditions or government involvement that might contextualize the event. Mainstream outlets like CBS consistently frame
such incidents as isolated acts requiring federal intervention without probing deeper into the federal government's prior activities. What CBS omits is that the FBI had conducted active shooter and security training exercises at that exact Michigan synagogue just months before the alleged attack. This pattern of federal agencies training at locations that subsequently become sites of reported
incidents raises questions about whether these exercises are genuinely preparatory or, in some cases, inadvertently contribute to or are leveraged in subsequent events. This omission echoes a long-standing and documented historical pattern. For example, during the 1967 USS Liberty attack, which killed 34 American servicemen, the US government insisted it was a case of mistaken identity by Israeli
forces, rejecting crew testimonies and extensive evidence pointing to a deliberate assault. The subsequent whitewash protected a key US ally and suppressed critical intelligence. Similarly, the US maintains an extensive and often opaque network of covert operations, including funding groups like the National Endowment for Democracy, which has channeled millions into regime change efforts globally,
