The Hijacking Of A Terrorism Plot!
A spectacular attack on the United States was on the wish list of Zbegniew Brzezinski as far back as 1997; without it, there would be no internal support within the United States for the sacrifices needed to implement his plans for American hegemony. In his book The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and its Geostrategic Imperatives, Mr. Brzezinski writes:
“Moreover, as America becomes an increasingly multi-cultural society, it may find it more difficult to fashion a consensus on foreign policy issues, except in the circumstance of a truly massive and widely perceived direct external threat.”

It had called upon the state informally to help with correcting the market, but few listened to industry pleas.
As in many previous years of “hard markets,” the insurance industry elected to act on the problem without waiting any longer for government interaction on its behalf. Virtually overnight, it then “over-corrected” the market by doubling home insurance premiums.
In some instances, the industry decreased the coverage and still increased the premiums significantly.
The reaction of homeowners was disbelief and then anger. They contacted the offices of the governor, TDI, and various legislators. They were told publicly by Perry and Montemayor that by the next year, the insurance industry would refund up to 14 percent of the increased
premiums.
To date, that has never occurred.
So, now it
