20 Years After 9-11

Just as with Covid, the deep state use 9/11 to push disparate controls.

I noted that the 19 hijackers all entered the country legally and attracted hardly any attention, even though some of them couldn’t speak English. There were already so many Middle-Eastern Muslims in the country, they blended right in. When some of them overstayed their visas, no one cared. Twenty years ago, I was naïve enough to think that this band of murderers might jolt the country out of idea that diversity is strength.

I wrote: “If, because of these terrible attacks, the country manages to turn a calculating eye on the costs and benefits of playing host to millions of Arabs, the red-ink dead-loss bottom line should raise questions about other groups. What earthly good do Cambodians, Nigerians, Guatemalans, Haitians, and all the rest of them do the country?” ...

We had some justification to invade Afghanistan. It refused to hand over bin Laden. But as soon as we had chased him out of the country we should have left. Instead, we spent 20 years, trying to teach Afghans how to vote and wear bikinis. Just weeks before the collapse, our embassy was reminding them that June was LGBTI Pride month. There was even a street mural in Kabul of George Floyd saying, “I can’t breathe.” What on earth do gay pride or George Floyd mean to Afghans? ...

At the Nuremburg Trials after the Second World War, we hanged Germans for a crime we had just invented: “waging aggressive war.” If ever there was an aggressive war, it was our invasion of Iraq. But did George W. or his Defense Secretary Don Rumsfeld or Vice President Dick Cheney or any of his gang of neo-con war mongers ever say “Sorry,” much less swing for it? Of course not. This is the sort of thing you get to do when people attack you simply for being wonderful.

Another perfectly good country we wrecked was Libya. Muammar Gaddafi had run the place since 1969 and was no threat to us, but in 2011 we decided he had to go. Then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton thought it was all such fun. [[0:03 – 0:08]]

And now, after battling terror for 20 years in Afghanistan, we have scampered off and the Taliban are back. And how many of the 22,000 Humvees, 8,000 trucks, and 634 M1117s and 169 M113s, and all this other great stuff that we gave them over the years did we leave behind? No one knows. ...

The funny thing is, we kill Muslims by the truckload overseas, but we can’t get enough of them here in America. We’ve already had four in Congress, and just this week “Biden asked for funding to help bring 95,000 Afghans to the US.” How much funding? $6.4 billion.

But even the Washington Post wonders who’s slipping through. Do you think the bunglers who couldn’t even fly helicopters out before the Taliban got them know who’s climbing into those evacuation planes? ...

It’s just possible that after this humiliation, we will pull back a little from the Middle East. But the War on Terror will go on because we have found new enemies – maybe even worse ones — right here at home. In May, we learned that “Top law enforcement officials say the biggest domestic terror threat comes from white supremacists.”

I’ve lost count how many times I’ve been called a white supremacist. Does that mean that, just like my fellow American Anwar al-Awlaki, there’s a Hellfire missile out there with my name on it? When you’re ruled by the most wonderful people in the world, you never know, do you?
