They recovered four, three of them AT the crash sites! How. The black boxes didn’t even survive.
They recovered all kinds of shit.
Like seriously all kinds of shit.
9/11 conspiracy stuff sucks. Come up with something cool with aliens or something.
9/11 conspiracy stuff sucks
Kinda hard to ignore all the insider trading tho
and the domestic and foreign intelligence on the attackers, the timing of the patriot Act, the anthrax attacks… easy to dismiss the passports as a wacky detail (and it is just a small piece of circumstantial evidence) but acting like 9/11 truth shouldn’t be discussed on here is high level lib shit
yeah, I cam believe in some weird coincidences, heavy emphasis on SOME
Great then I am a proud liberal. I will vote for Hillary Clinton twice. I will pokemon go to the polls. I am having brunch right now while discussing Euphoria and planning my next “Live Laugh Love” sign.
Don’t front, I’ve been tits deep in this shit for 23 years. I am not impressed with stale ideas that were boring a decade ago.

Pretty sure the USA Patriot Act was just a retread of a shelved thing from after the Oklahoma City bombing in the 90’s.
It was literally already written and waiting in a folder for the next time blowback came along and gave them an excuse. 9/11 was inevitable, someone was going to blow something up sooner or later. They were just waiting for an excuse.
No it’s actually really easy, I’ve been doing it for like 20 years.
lol lmao
My 9/11 theory is that it was all an accident.
there were no planes, those buildings just did that
There were no buildings, planes just have a lot more debris than you’d think.
lol i would say the passports thing is a minor detail that doesn’t prove anything on its own but dismissing 9/11 truth out of hand is shit. the commission was a massive coverup and the public deserves to know the truth, acting like it shouldn’t be a valid topic of discussion on here is doing state Dept work for them.
literally conflating 9/11 truth with aliens lol. at least try to uninternalise the yankee propaganda in your brain about this before speaking on it, I know it’s a topic where that’s been fed to you in a particularly intense fashion but if you think critically that makes it all the more important to question official narratives.
It seems like some wrap up 9/11 truth conspiracies into a bundle and throw them all away based on the most absurd ones, like the planes actually being taken away to some black site with all the passengers still alive.
In reality, if you view some of the details like the entire scenario surrounding the striking of the Pentagon, the very odd timing of air defense training/drills drawing fighter jets away from the region, and all the warnings from other intelligence agencies paired with Rumsfeld and friends’ actions that day, it seems just as absurd to say those were a ton of wacky coincidences
What truth do you want exactly? We already know that 9/11 was blowback, Bush had dealings with the bin Laden family, the feds were already surveilling the terrorists, and multiple intelligence agencies including the Taliban warned the US of a major attack. Most other things don’t matter at all. Hell none of these truths even matter because the country is brain dead and no one gives a shit.
What difference does it make if it was revealed that the Air Force shot down a plane and lied about the circumstances to make the victims heroes? We move on. We consume product. Then they argue about who becomes president and close down Guantanamo. Then we don’t do it. Feel free to prove me wrong. My proof is look around you. What happened after Snowden? What happened after Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib? What happened after MKULTRA? Kent State? All the mass shootings? FBI grooming mentally ill Muslims?
Right? I am so tired of this. there’s no exciting grand conspiracy, it’s just the normal bs the US does every day. It’s not a conspiracy because it’s all legal and they admitted to it. What “truth” to people expect to find? The US does a bunch of evil intelligence bullshit? That the US alphabet soup is a bizarre combination of frightening cold blooded competence and laughable keystone kops?
Like even putting aside that kinds of random shit survives fires, floods, plane crashes, nuclear bombings, what are we even talking about? How did they recover the passports? They picked them off the ground, just like they did huge amounts of other debris. This isn’t even a debunking, there’s nothing to debunk, stuff survives airline crashes and building collapses and every other kind of disaster. It’s completely banal, a leading question that leads nowhere.
Like, every event in the US is full of this. People are talking about the true-anon series about 9/11, and yeah, it’s full of weird shit because it’s America and we’re up to our eyeballs in spies, cops, foreign influence operations, terrorists, gusanos, Banderites, the scum of every coup and color revolution. This is a nation of assassins, thieves, spies, crooks, and criminals. You can find evidence of conspiracies everywhere because there are conspiracies everywhere. except, most of the time, it’s not a conspiracy because it’s legal and they admit to it. But it’s just boring shit; killing protest leaders, cops framing political enemies, insider trading, regulatory capture, intelligence failures, FBI entrapment bs. None of this is obscure or hidden or suppressed, it’s been front page news for decades. PREDATOR and ECHELON were conspiracy theories right up until Snowden spilled the tea, but after that the NSA wiretap scheme was blown wide open, all over the news. That UN investigator who locked himself inside a bag from inside the bag in the woods then died was screaming that Iraq had no WMDs, and people knew it at the time or shortly after. They didn’t care, they wanted blood and didn’t care whose blood it was, but it was in the news. Is it a conspiracy that he was killed for trying to fuck up the grift? Dude was found locked inside a duffle bag and they called it a suicide. That’s not a conspiracy, that’s a government that knows it’s untouchable and doesn’t care enough to cover its tracks. When the regime didn’t find WMDs they just moved the goal posts, right out in the open, where everyone could see it, and they got away with it. The Iraq war protest movement was one of the largest in history up to that time. Why doesn’t anyone remember it? It’s not a conspiracy, the US Media just deliberately didn’t cover it. No coverage, no impact on public awareness. Its’ not a conspiracy because it was legal and they did it in full view of the public.
literally conflating 9/11 truth with aliens lol. at least try to uninternalise the yankee propaganda in your brain about this before speaking on it, I know it’s a topic where that’s been fed to you in a particularly intense fashion but if you think critically that makes it all the more important to question official narratives.
Quit fronting. Nobody except for Burgerlanders give two shits about 9/11. “Why do Americans care so much about the 9th of November” is the extend most non-Burgerlanders acknowledge 9/11.
my friend when it literally affects the whole world people care about it lol. I have to take my shoes off at the airport because of these mfs. I’m not saying we should all shed tears but it’s something worth analysing
^this. The furthest extent that there is some kind of 9/11 conspiracy is that the Bush admin might have been expecting some type of domestic event or other to happen that they could use as just cause for an invasion. They did not expect - let alone orchestrate - 9/11.
Humans have pattern matching brains. It’s easy to find stuff like the building owner having a dermatologist appointment that day. And then you completely fail to analyze it in the context that he probably also had a dentist’s appointment the last week too. Same goes for every other thing.
9/11 truth isn’t just “Bush did 9/11”. it’s undeniable that there is more to the story than the commission (coverup) told people. people deserve to know the truth. acting dismissive of this is your yankee lib brain at work.
Who even cares what the commission said? I never read it, I don’t care. al-Qaeda came up with a novel attack strategy and pulled it off because no one expected anything like that to ever happen because it had never been done before. It was blowback for US foreign policy fuckery. “people deserve to know the truth”? I wish them all luck. I hope they find whatever they’re looking for. But in 2024? It’s not relevant to contemporary politics.

What people? Americans? You can show them Jesus and they’ll ignore you. The rest of the world? None of them cares because who gives a shit that 3000 Americans were killed? How many of their countrymen were killed by Americans? What’s lib shit is obsessing over a handful of Americans dying. The psyche of America won’t be change unless similar events happen again. The truth won’t matter.
Humans have pattern matching brains.
see folding the $20 bill
They were expecting something, and deprioritized/ignored investigations that might have prevented it. I think they were only surprised by the scale of it.
The bigger and more obvious conspiracy was the package of actions they had pre-planned to take advantage of whatever happened (the Patriot Act, the Iraq War).
how is this the top comment 🙄 where is the hexbear instance with no americans. i tire of you all
Not me tho
Come up with something cool with aliens or something.
Someone on this site (a couple of months ago) came up with a clever theory: Both the US Govt and Al Qaeda planned the attack, but both did it separately and not knowing each other’s plans. The date was a pure coincidence as well, both parties attacked on the same day but on different towers.
Tower 7 and the Pentagon are your imagination fooling you. They never happened.
This is your take? I mean, the insider trading stuff is pretty heavy evidence that people knew ahead of time. People with money and resources to act on this foreknowledge. And the case that we are presented with by the commission is, well, a story of people close to important state actors conspiring to commit the crime. The state dept story is a conspiracy theory, even if truncated, obfuscated, covered-up, that is still what they presented us with. Oh yeah, and that many in the intelligence community knew of the attackers presence in the US, others knowing of an impending attack, and the attackers being closely related to Saudi intelligence, ya know, the intelligence service buttresses with US technology and training in close partnership. But yeah, just like “UFO’s”.
Some folks are presented with facts which should cause alarm and suspicion but instead reel and dismiss, and I can only point to a lack of intellectual curiosity, ideology, or a motivated viewpoint based on a perceived in-group’s general opinion which steers then into taking the state department position, and that of the Atlantic Monthly. “Actually it’s all chaos and accident, and our pattern seeking brains project meaning onto events which are random.” I’m nit saying that’s your position, but it is a common refrain to dismiss real conspiracies, and reminds me of Parenti’s take on historians who talk about “the reluctant US empire who rose to the occasion at a critical juncture to bumble its way into global dominance”. Like, no calculation or conspiring required.
As if these shit hole leaders are braying at every opportunity to make money dropping bombs. Just god smiling on them I guess. Nothing to see here.
Ey bro I’ve been around the whole time. I know all this shit. I’m not impressed. “Take your lack of intellectual curiosity” somewhere else. 9/11 was blowback for America’s adventures in the Middle East and Afghanistan. Bunch of guys flew planes in to buildings. No one in the alphabet soup put it together because 1.) al-Qaeda was trying to blow up the WTC all the time. 9/11 was, what, their second? Third attempt? 2.) the US Intelligence agencies aren’t magical all knowing wizards and no one group had all the pieces needed to figure all of this out and 3.) There’s like 500 conspiracies related to 9/11, but “9/11 was a false flag” or “9/11 was an inside job” or “Jet fuel can’t melt steel beams” is just silly bullshit. US intelligence letting Saudi intelligence play games with them? Sure. USAPATRIOT being pre-written and just waiting for the inevitable excuse because there was always going to be some excuse, because the US pisses off so many people? Sure. The US intel agencies had all the information they needed but didn’t put the pieces together? Sure. US Intel being too arrogant to understand what their catspaws are up to? Sure.
There were all kinds of conspiracies going on. Boring, banal conspiracies that the US gets up to all the time. Not cool guy stuff like the US, idk what the contemporary bs even is, remote controlling the planes? the planes were holograms? The pentagon wasn’t actually hit? I have no idea, because I stopped caring literally a decade ago.
Ok, dismiss everything. My point is that there is a ton of data points which should raise eyebrows of researchers, and to dismiss with such certitude in the face of unanswered/unanswerable questions is just as unreasonable as being credulous with every conspiracy theory posited. Your conflation of people troubled by these data points and questions with the fringest of conspiracy theorists reeks of unmerited condescension. A more reasonable position would be to state your personal feeling on the matter but acknowledge that there are unknowns and unknowables and certain evidence that make any sort of confidence one way or another impossible at this point in time. Instead it’s “this is just UFO shit” and I was surprised this is your take.
Dismiss what, exactly? OP is alleging that there’s something unusual about recovering documents from the crash sites. There isn’t. There’s no question to ask here because there’s no reason to think that recovered passports are evidence of something unusual.
What am I dismissing? The US had all the evidence and didn’t put it together because of inter-service rivalries, compartmentalization, and it being the 90s when we were still banging rocks together to make fire? Bush was in tight with the Saudi’s and the bin Ladens? al-Qaeda was mostly an invention of the US intelligence services, the US’s perception of a clandestine military organization that formed during the Soviet-Afghan war with CIA assistance? al-Qaeda tried to blow up the WTC all the time, it was like their favorite hobby. Where is the new information? What’s the truth that’s being hidden? The US did it? it was a false flag? What is there to investigate or reveal?
Can we dial this back a little, because I respect the posting I’ve seen from you over the years and internet debating stresses me out. I think I may have used a couple loaded phrases to poke a little, and I would like to clarify where I have contributed to a misunderstanding.
I appreciated the first part of your response where you linked to information about the things that were found at crash sites. I found this as cogent reasoning and respectful practice, as I am not swayed by the passports, not to mention jet fuel etc.
I shouldn’t have said “dismiss everything” and I should have made clear that I took umbrage with what I interpreted as equivocation between legitimate paths of inquiry and irresponsible and wild conspiratorial speculation (UFO shit, as I put it). To me, you were saying all 9/11 questioning contra the official narrative is conspiracy theory. This irked me ngl.
When I said dismiss everythin in the fillowing response, I was alluding to you presenting a cohesive narrative with facts which didn’t really address some if the points my first response, in particular the point about insider trading. None of the facts I pointed out and none of the facts you pointed out are immiscible, and could be explained away under the paradigm of “the official narrative”. Like who knows what networks could’ve tipped off investors. I can accept that.
But I thank you for pointing out long standing relationships between Saudi’s and the Bush family, both in official state operations and myriad business ventures. Poppy and a select group of his closest pals in US intelligence and otherwise were absolutely instrumental and intimately involved in modernizing Saudi intelligence, and he was personally involved in seeing Saudi funds reintegrated into US investments. All of the networks that surround these people and their activities are characterized by subterfuge, lies, in dealing, fucking holes in the ground for energy, fraudulent investment schemes, and pursuing war for profit. Even if all evidence pointed to the straight forward narrative, one should be chilled with how much these folks directly benefitted from the expansion of the military budget and intensification of secrecy and surveillance at scale in the aftermath. We saw a 2 trillion dollar transfer of public wealth to the defense industry in as many decades, to give a sense of the incentive structure their cohort had to pursue such an open ended war in such a geopolitically important region. This does not include the private wealth pursued by like, every single general and JCoS asshole after their “service” to use soviet maps to strip mine the regions that had decimated and conquered for empire.
We could go on trading details toward this or that end, but to me the previous paragraph is sorta my reasoning as to why the official narrative should be critically evaluated, and where it is weak or points to troubling and unanswered lines of inquiry, well all the more reason to press. It is strange that these calculating and conspiring fucks were able to use their networks and conspiring to personally enrich themselves and pals over decades in adjacent and directly related industries, but this 2 trillion dollar gift from god required none of that. Maybe I am naive or somehow uncritical for this still being unsettling to me, and enough for me to keep an open mind to counter narratives.
It is pretty uncontroversial to say that people in a position to take advantage of this event for personal, political, and imperial aims did so the umpth degree. I think where we might disagree is whether it is necessary to pursue the question of “were these actors, who may have been in a position to tip the scales in favor of this event, act to or fail to act so as to contribute to this eventuality” as a legitimate line of inquiry, or if the facts as presented obviate the need to do so.
You’re cool and funny and I respect your posting. I don’t post much, and I lack the wherewithal to engage most the time. I hope this made any sense and that my good faith and lack of malice come through in the tone of this message.
*edited for clarity (i hope)
My apologies. I allowed twenty years of… idk, dealing with “jet fuel can’t melt steel beams” to color my perceptions of this discussion and I got really angry. That was not appropriate.
Also apologies for where my communication fell short.
I’ll take your reasonable position.
There is a lot of unknown and unknowable stuff but it all seems like bullshit to me. Like you said, that position is reasonable. I’m being the reasonable person here.
Word. That’s fair. I was just put off by what I interpreted as an unfair equivocation between attempting to apply material analysis to major historical events and undisciplined conspiratorial waxing. Having spent ungodly hours attempting to form a cohesive thought on the matter, even the most conservative interpretation of evidence leaves me with nothing like the confidence on display in advocating on behalf of “the official narrative”. “I think it’s bullshit but there is merit in pursuing questions with a critical disposition” seems way more honest and comradely a response than “even if there is a ton of contravening evidence problemetizing the official narrative, it is all bullshit and I am correct”. So thank you for your generosity.
just don’t bother arguing with the Yankees about this, their brains can’t really process the arguments. the materialism part of their mind turns off when it comes to 9/11, it’s a unique case.
What about magnets? I think a good theory should involve some suspiciously strong magnets
FYI the trueanon series is a good primer if you still suffer from lib brain about 9/11
Hell yeah sista
The Trueanon series where they just lay out a bunch of public knowledge to highlight how fucking sketchy and weird the US intelligence world was in the 90s? Is that what “9/11 truth” is to you? Because that was all front page news decades ago.

Fine, I’ll disengage.
Passports are fireproof, if you don’t trust me try it with your own

If they had planted passports, they would have been Iraqi passports. So weirdly, this one part of the story has to be true.
“Oh bother! I just realized if we fly into the buildings while holding our passports, they’ll be able to identify us!” said Terrorist 1
“That’s a good point!” said Terrorist 2 “Here, hand them to me.”
Then he quickly rolled down the window and threw them out, right as the plane impacted the tower, thinking he had committed the perfect crime.
“That’s our story and we’re sticking to it. Now go to bed.” (not really, I don’t know what the official explanation actually is)
Paper is uniquely suited to surviving plane crashes due to its physics (low density, high surface area).
black boxes from 9/11 planes were uniquely suited to being scooped up by the deepest reaches on the deep state never to be seen again.
What about paper surviving giant fireballs?
Magic.
The magic jet fuel theory
Jet fuel doesn’t melt steel beams. But metal loses it’s strength while retaining its solid phase as it is heated. https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/metal-temperature-strength-d_1353.html
This is the issue with laypeople speculating on complex engineering failures. The mechanisms of action that one might intuit from looking at a complex systems failure and the ones that actually cause it are oftentimes not related to or even opposite.
My favorite comment on this was a blacksmith heating a steel bar to a few hundred degrees and then pushing it around with his pinky. Also, the sheer number of people who don’t have any conception of what a blast furnace is or how it works, how oxygen and fire interact. Idk, I always thought the “jet fuel can’t melt steel beams” thing was absurd on it’s face. It’s such a silly premise. I’ve forged metal on backyard wood fires, you just need to set the airflow up to get incredibly hot fires.
Does that link talk about the explosions in the basement?
Hey, you know the deal, no investigation, no right to speak. The link doesn’t talk about 9/11 at all, it talks about changes in metal strength at different temperatures.
Ive never heard that turn of phrase, pwease explain it to me?
No, because that isn’t what we were talking about?
Sorry, i dont debate
This really isn’t that hard to believe. The black boxes were bolted to the plane chassis and stuck around through the entirety of the fire and collapse. Personal effects like passports and clothing were subject to the intense drafts that any building fire causes and were blown around - possibly out of the plane or building, possibly away from the fire into a cooler part of the rubble. These are virtually certainly not the only paper documents they found, as another user mentioned, they found a roll of undeveloped film.
One passport was recovered in new york, the other two were recovered from the wreckage of flight 93 along with thousands of other objects.
Like people need to put this in context; Vesna Vulovic fell TEN KILOMETERS after the plane she was working on was ripped apart by a bomb. She survived and made a full recovery aside from a limp. That is weird. Finding intact documents from an airline crash is not weird. It’s normal and unexceptional, but people are fixated on finding something interesting or exciting about 9/11 so they don’t bother to learn that finding intact documents, clothes, bodies, is not unusual or remarkable.
There are literally pictures of body parts that fell to the street from the day too. Not to mention things from inside the buildings, paper, office supplies. I don’t think people fully comprehend how fast the planes hit and how that scatters the contents. The stuff not bolted down just keeps going unless something stops it.
One passport surviving? If anything, I’m surprised there weren’t more. The black box? It was physically attached to the thing, it isn’t going to go far.
My mates brothers sister heard from a friends cousin that they fell out the plane before impact and fell on the ground in a little pile.
noooo don’t question the state department narrative around the only time my country has been attacked on its own soil!!! I haven’t deprogrammed my yank brain about that yet!!!

The Germans sabotage bombed a bunch of stuff during WWI. 9/11 was al-Qaeda’s second or third attack on the WTC specifically. There were dozens of wars between the US and indigenous nations over the centuries. Then there’s all the false flag bullshit, domestic terrorism, The American Civil War, tons of insurgency shit like the KKK, the regulators, bleeding kansas, Jim Crow, All the fighting and terrorism during the Civil Rights years.
Edit: and the huge amount of “terrorism” during the Vietnam war years, just constant bombings that have been swept under the rug of the US’s public memory of the Vietnam War era.
They found things from the titanic sink. None of that is shocking
few state Dept volunteer workers in this thread I see 🫡 Americans just can’t resist it when it comes to this topic lol. critical thinking brain just stops working
Explanation 1: When the planes crashed the buildings, the passports fell out of the plane unscathed and managed to survive entirely intact.
Explanation 2: The passports were planted by feds, but instead of using Iraqi and Afghani passports, they used Saudi, Emirati, and Egyptian passports because the feds ran out of fake Iraqi and Afghani passports and the fed intern was too lazy to climb 5 flights of stairs to get a new batch of fake Iraqi and Afghani passports at the adjacent building.
Also, in order to make it convincing, the feds planted thousands and thousands of other intact and partially intact items around the flight 93 debris field so people wouldn’t suspect that the passports were planted.
They could’ve said something like “we stored passenger information before the flight” or they could’ve said Al Qaeda informed them who did the attack yk.
Okay 9/11 truthers, since it seems that there’s a lot of you here, why would the Bush administration do it? To justify an invasion? We could have invaded anywhere we wanted any time we wanted. Thinking that we needed a lot of people to die on domestic soil in order to justify an invasion in the public eye is lib shit. So what’s left? Was the government whacking someone in the towers?
acting like 9/11 didn’t change anything is incredible wilful ignorance. it revolutionised the capabilities of the American security state, domestic and global. i super don’t want a debate about this but I recommend the trueanon series as a good primer to de-lib your brain about this
Adding on, it’s important for younger comrades to know that shit like the TSA, DHS, and all those fusion centers (which somehow seem to be used against every major protest movement from Occupy to Pro-Palestine) did NOT exist before 2001. Also shit like the FISA bill which, after the PATRIOT Act, allows the security state to monitor anyone’s communications in the US despite security state officials perjuring themselves to claim the opposite for years and was JUST renewed.
I spent, literally, twenty years refusing to go through Chertoff’s milimeter scanners hoping that a tall white guy getting frisked might, idk, make someone wonder why this was all happening, how it became normal. Spent a decade with people looking at me like I was a crank as I ranted about how the TSA was a massive expansion of federal power, the first time most people came in to regular contact with a federal law enforcement agency. How it was all completely useless security theater that amounted to little more than a jobs program wrapped around an extension of the police state. It’s all so goddamn frustrating, and now there’s a whole generation of kids who don’t remember anything else. We used to be able to go to the gate, greet our families as they got off the plane. It all sucks so much.
What truth do you think is being concealed? This is all wikipedia page stuff. USAPATRIOT was already written and waiting for signatures. The Bushes and their cronies had been frothing for an invasion of Iraq for years. This isn’t hidden, this was mainstream news throughout the 00s.
The bloodlust immediately after 9/11 was the highest I’ve seen in my lifetime, much like Oct 7th has been for the Zionist project. I could maybe buy that 9/11 was orchestrated to not just invade countries but to rally Americans around the flag and secure the empire as the End of History.
Except Bush didn’t do that. He could have pointed the finger at anyone and used that to orient the imperial project, but instead of using his biggest political windfall to start a war with Iran he blew his political capital on Afghanistan and then Iraq. Maybe he thought those would be easier occupations and he could use them to build momentum for Iran, but I don’t see it. It just seems opportunist, rather than planned.
I’ll say again, the meme boiling-down of the broad category of 9/11 truth to “bush did 9/11” has been a disaster. that’s not what we mean when we say there is more to the story lol. the commission was undeniably a massive coverup and the people deserve to know the truth of every aspect of the story, that’s what we mean.
we know it wasn’t literally Bush slipping some hijackers a twenty under the table and asking them to hijack planes. We understand that you’re proposing a complex and long-running plan that would have originated prior to the start of his term. He just would have had to be complicit, and as the head of state at the time, the turn of phrase is the easiest by saying that he did it.
i just want Americans to stop blindly reinforcing the state department narrative around this lol. I know it’s hard and you’ve been very heavily propagandized about it but try to apply the same level of critical thought you would to something less close to home
The 9/11 Truth well has been thoroughly poisoned in America by the the insistence on repeating bad engineering concepts: the “jet fuel can’t melt steel beams” memes, the “squibs” as air compressed by a falling building blew out windows and the “basement explosions” caused by the same, the insistence that a cruise missile hit the Pentagon because the plane didn’t leave a perfectly plane shaped hole like a cartoon and the security camera with terrible frame rate and resolution. These crank memes that don’t hold up under scrutiny don’t help anyone’s case, and yet they’re always all over every thread about it because people don’t investigate, just repeat.
wow I wonder what caused people to start theorising wildly about what happened, it could be the fact it’s completely obvious the official report is a cover up and a crock of lies. the things you’re pointing at are symptoms of the people being lied to about this, not just “wow those 9/11 people are so wacky”
What do you think happened?
Goddamn i just remembered that fucking jeep commercial with that “i can be your hero baby” song fuck
It’s true. Any action in the middle east or central Asia would be completely unquestioned as long as a lot of people got killed. So we got a giant money laundering scheme disguised ad wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
To justify an invasion? We could have invaded anywhere we wanted any time we wanted
This makes it sound like you were born after 2001
Yes, in theory, the US could have invaded Iraq and Afghanistan any time they wanted, but wars in the US always require an excuse of some kind for The International Community ™, and inevitably are unpopular with one party
The revanchist fury that soaked into the West right after 9/11 is hard to describe if you weren’t there. That shit was bipartisan, every liberal went full overnight. News was 24/7 bloodlust, with the initial sucker punch on Baghdad playing live on every news outlet
What followed was 20 years of the biggest MIC grifting the world had ever seen. Billions in failed Future Soldier shit, billions in new weapons. Contractors selling pens valued at a thousand times their worth just to grift a few million more. And then came the PATRIOT Act and other surveillance methods which were accepted to wide acclaim because of 9/11, with no mainstream pushback. It further solidified the vassal relationship of the rest of NATO/the EU to the US as the US dragged others in and began militarily grifting them as well.The pre-9/11 world would be just unrecognizable to anyone born afterwards
Nobody is legitimately arguing that Bush personally contacted the Saudis and asked for Bin Laden. The usual argument is that the Bush regime had intel that they chose not to act on
