But I have been wondering for sometime now whether the truth is that we are being attacked by terrorism from abroad? From a political impact perspective, wouldn't it be better for the government to assert a domestic 'rogue' perpetrator than to admit coordinated attacks from individuals or groups with foreign origins?
Isn't it interesting that the few examples of such events actually taking place have ALL been blamed on individuals of domestic origin under highly disputed circumstances and facts?

Nope. We are being attacked from within. A political coup, from progressives in the public and progressive Marxists and Moaists in the government.

I think TPTB are creating these events, not terrorists from other countries.

While a concede such a thing is possible, I just don't think it likely in the face of the more obvious threat to us from abroad. The issue of terrorism from abroad has steered political careers in this country for more than a decade now.
I'm starting to think this is purely about the politics of embarrassment. Blame one of our own, and you don't have to address all of the sticky issues facing us concerning such attacks derived from abroad.
I can almost see the words of such a government policy manual now.

according to various 'insider sources' there is the possibility that more that one foreign government has planted nukes throughout america, and is blackmailing the us government attemting to force it to conceeed to their demands.
these 'false flag' attacks could be a warning by those powers to try to keep the U.S. in line.
hopefully the truth will soon come out!

If you apply Occam's razor to this issue, I think it makes far more sense that the government is hiding our defenselessness from these types of attacks cooked by those from abroad. And to avoid political condemnation for it, the government has decided it better to blame the crazies...or guns...or whatever else.
Thoughts?

Any terrorist group who could pull off such attacks would be quick to claim responsibility for them.

If you look at the MO for terrorist attacks world wide, 99% of the time it involves blowing things up.
We haven't seen that.
Why would they change their MO for us - especially if you believe they attacked us on 9/11 (with explosions)?

Tempting though it is to look for 'rational' explanations to irrational events, could it not be just the fact that crazy men have easy access to guns and do crazy things? Admittedly this is a UK perspective, but surely people just snap sometimes.
When the evidence boils down to things like people shooting up x, y or z and looking 'crazy' or 'out of it', that does rather sound like evidence of some form of critical mental break.
How should they look? How should they act?

It would be impossible to hide any such claims. All of these loosely affiliated islamic groups operate with impunity on the internet.
Group claims responsibility for border attack
In a statement posted on jihadi websites late Saturday, a group calling itself Ansar Jerusalem ("Supporters of Jerusalem") said the Friday attack, in which three militants and an Israeli soldier were killed, was a response to the anti-Islam film "Innocence of Muslims."
The statement claimed that the militants were Egyptians and that the operation was a "disciplinary attack against those who insulted the beloved Prophet" Mohammed.
General Ahmed Bakr, head of North Sinai security, said, 'There is no evidence of highly organized groups in Sinai regardless of such statements released on the net.'
There are dozens of "groups of armed militants who have been weakened by our military operation in Sinai, and sooner or later will be demolished completely," he said.
