Wait long enough and someone will say exactly what I was thinking. If I may however, I would like to expand on Mary's idea:

Caitlins piece implies that there is someone in charge, doing these things when in fact, the Oligarchy is simply moving in the direction of increasing stockholder wealth. The cycle of outrage followed by "terrorist" strikes increases stockholder wealth that is why it is happening (not because of some mythical "leadership"), and that is why it will continue for as long as the US exists in its current form.
