Will We the American People ever be told the truth—that 9/11 was an inside job, in part at least to steal our freedoms?
Still another day of remembrance, of heartbreak over the lives lost, the buildings destroyed, the aircraft that disappeared, the details that do not add up.
This in part from frontpagemag.com.
September 11, 2001, is still being called an attack which turned the World Trade Center into a hellscape. Consequently, the U.S. invaded Afghanistan, where the Taliban government had protected the “9/11 mastermind,” Saudi cleric Osama Bin Laden. Two years later, we invaded Iraq at least partly on the premise that Saddam Hussein was connected to Bin Laden.
Saddam was deposed and captured quickly enough, having been executed in 2006. Bin Laden survived in hiding until Navy SEALs killed him in May 2011. In December of that year, the U.S. withdrew from Iraq. The U.S. military stayed in Afghanistan until a debacle of a withdrawal in August 2021. As of this writing 30 detainees are still in Guantanamo Bay on 9/11-related charges.
The Watson Institute reported that the Afghanistan war took 70,000 civilian lives and that between 186,000 and 316,000 civilians were killed in Iraq. Over 7,000 Americans died in these two conflicts. Harvard University estimates that the American taxpayer paid between $4 and $6 trillion for our Afghanistan and Iraq ventures. With such an astronomical price in blood and treasure for 9/11 and its aftermath, we need to ask some questions as we reach another day of remembrance.
Do we truly understand why 9/11 occurred?
Have we assessed our many-layered responses to determine whether they have been appropriate and effective?
Did the pain of 9/11 cause us to increase our determination to cherish and protect our civilization all the more from the enemies without and within?
The answers to ALL three questions: ‘NO.’
Retrieved from Bin Laden’s Islamabad compound after the SEALs killed him was an undated letter, likely composed sometime during the Obama Regime (perhaps by the Obama Regime), in which Bin Laden explained his rationale for attacking America:
As for us, jihad against the tyrants and the aggressors is a form of great worship in our religion. It is more precious to us than our fathers and sons. Thus, our jihad against you is worship, and your killing us is a testimony. Thanks to God, Almighty, we have been waging jihad for 30 years, against the Russians and then against you…Continue the war if you will.
First, is the finding of this letter to be believed? Again, ‘NO.’
Second, in over two decades since 9/11, the American powers-that-be have made no coherent effort to bring truth to We the People. Instead, the Elite class has continued to claim religio-political reasons and Islamic violence at fault. Bush 43 declared war on “terror” and President Obama—in his half-assed way so as not to offend Islam too severely—continued that foreign policy.
Had either former president ever considered how a nation-state can make war against a psychological phenomenon and not against a flesh-and-blood enemy?
Long ago the Chinese military genius Sun Tzu proffered this wisdom: “Know thyself, know thine enemy.” The ancient master articulated concisely that we would need to identify clearly who our actual human enemies are and what influences their actions to achieve real victory.
This is something the West generally and the U.S. government particularly have been woeful at doing.
We have pretended a disembodied idea (“terror”) is the enemy. Our leadership has convinced We the People the behavior of Bin Laden and men like him as being representative of Islam and “terror” and pursued their prosecution as criminals. But the sheer volume of global Islamic terrorism since 2001 proves that our war on “terror” has done little to defeat that phenomenon. The war on “terror” has become like the war on “poverty”—a never-ending money-laundering operation.
Our continued failure stems from the reality that since 9/11 we have never fully named and therefore never really known our enemy. Yes, radical Islam and world terror are the named enemies, but we have not learned the true story about the rationale behind 9/11. And all this is so damn convoluted, understanding it is next to impossible.
Those who perpetrate radical Islam ARE our enemies that must be fought on many fronts BUT there is also an enemy within that is deceiving We the People and must also be brought to an end. Concerning radical Islam, Trump has stated unequivocally “there is still much work to do”:
That means honestly confronting the crisis of Islamist extremism and the Islamist terror groups it inspires. And it means standing together against the murder of innocent Muslims, the oppression of women, the persecution of Jews, and the slaughter of Christians.
We in the West have engaged in “preposterous levels of self-loathing” all designed to concurrently gaslight We the People with lies about what Islam is and what its fundamentalist adherents practice, as well as holding back the truth about 9/11—a double dose of gaslighting We the People.
Add to this the fact the cultural decay we are currently experiencing is the result of our progressive jettisoning of the Christian foundation of our civilization, and we have what Sun Tzu long ago diagnosed us as “no longer knowing ourselves.” The United States has prided itself on being a place where truth and justice are pre-eminent, yet we have not addressed the true rationale behind the death and destruction of 9/11.
But “terror” is a psychological tactic—
inanimate, incorporeal, and synaptic.
America is at a serious crossroads. We are in the midst of a presidential contest between Donald Trump, who has demonstrated a relatively muscular stance towards Islam, and Kamala Harris, who has suggested we should reject definitive terminology like “radical Islamic terrorism.” If we find ourselves in November with a Harris-Walz victory, we can expect more ignorance of Islam to be integral to America’s policy agenda. It will be an open invitation for stealth jihadists to keep crossing our unguarded borders and will hasten the day when our formerly Christian soil will be unable to nurture anything other than the shahada.
Meanwhile, on this day of remembrance of 9/11, we must admit we no longer know ourselves and we certainly do not know our enemies—without and within.
