It is either dramatic failure or at the least intentional failure. There is a lot of suspicious stuff. With things like this I tend to go back to this thought process.
- I know the state is evil from what they do in the open and what has been exposed
- I know there are people with billions of dollars to make or lose depending on who controls the government
- I know that even if these conspiracy theories are all false, most people do not even know of all the things the government has admitted to doing over the years
- Even if true is the public going to accept it as true? After all they have already seen?
- I know that throughout history we have seen people stop at no ends to gain power
- Evil people are drawn to powerful positions and can be ruthless.
I usually end up with one question.
If this theory is true does it change any of the ways I think about politics or state power?
The answer for me is no. If true, it doesn't change the way I think about the US government, or the state as an evil force in this world. It doesn't change the solutions either.
It can be interesting to think about these topics but it also can be a waste of time and energy better spent elsewhere. That's a personal judgement call.
Secret Service incompetence has been building for at least 12 years probably longer
I read that the turnover rate is 48 percent. That is a lot

That's interesting and it makes sense.
Have you seen "JFK: The Smoking Gun"? Of all the documentaries on the multitude of theories about the assassination this one makes the most sense to me.
The TLDR is that the USSS agents went out partying the night before(this was excused because they had been working very long hours) which seems to be undisputed. One of the riflemen was so hung over he wasn't able to fulfill is duties and a inexperienced agent was swapped in. When the first shot rang out he accidentally fired his rifle from behind and hit JFK in the head.
Everything that followed was a coverup of this massive failure. If it were true it would explain a lot and we know that these agencies first and foremost goal is self preservation.
I'm not convinced but it seems very plausible as a theory of the events.
Incidentally if one disconnects from the two party system in the US and just observes you see over time that both sides push conspiracy theories and seem to lose all their logic when it suits their goals.
The democrats mock Alex Jones but peddle their own nonsense like the Russian nonsense with Trump.
For anyone interested in conspiracy theory kinds of things that are corroborated by people on the record check out "Legacy of Ashes: The History of the CIA".
After reading that book I remember thinking that the government was beyond saving. This was back when I was a voter. There are no conspiracy theories in this book but many of the things documented sound like it and were theories before they were documented by the actors in the stories.
The actions of the CIA often against orders from the Presidents are very interesting for anyone that denies the deep state exists and has its own agendas.

The book is based on more than 50,000 documents, primarily from the archives of the CIA, and hundreds of interviews with CIA veterans, including ten Directors of Central Intelligence. Legacy of Ashes won the 2007 National Book Award for Nonfiction.

I consider this book one of the reasons I started seeing the state for what it is. It was at least part of my disillusionment with participating in the system
