Motivation?

""Nothing motivates the US government like fear," he added, pointing to 9/11 and creation of the Department of Homeland Security."

Sorry, Bruce. Nothing motivates the US government and the contractors and the lackeys and the mongers and the forces against transparency as fear. They live on it. They glory in it. They promote it. They profit on it.

FEAR. Fear about those Russki's (well not now, with Trump being in Vlad's front pocket.). Fear about turbans and beards. Fear about free speech and questions at news conferences. Fear about rapists (well, isn't the president one?), fear about people south of the border.

Used to be there was some positive emotions about how the US could actually be a melting pot. It could have whites/blacks/browns/atheists/non-atheists living on the same block. Used to be Woody Guthrie could sing something like, Come on people, Let's get together.

Not in Trump's world.
