Those in college do not recall 9/11/01. College freshmen were only three or four years old at the time of the attack. They do not recall the ongoing search for Osama bin Laden or the frequent briefings from former President George W. Bush. Even young adults beyond college do not recall life before the Patriot Act and the abandonment of our privacy. They have always seen TSA at airports and terrorism warnings. The Patriot Act changed everything, and all Americans were forced to surrender their freedom to the government under the guise of “national security.” National security has been used to justify government surveillance ever since that tragic morning.
This may be why they are comfortable handing over power to government, and tend to vote blue, as they do not know of a life with fewer government restrictions. It is hard to explain how that event shaped the trajectory of America. It was used as a convenient excuse to begin a war that became one of the longest in America’s history. In addition to the 2,996 people who were killed on 9/11, countless soldiers have lost their lives. First responders are still facing the repercussions of the asbestos and debris that caused an array of health issues. Before the attack, America felt it was invincible. Yes, there was Pearl Harbor, but again that event was too far back to remember and was directed at a military base. An attack on American soil at the Twin Towers that signified capitalism in all its glory was completely unfathomable.
For those who do not remember 9/11 – America was a different place once upon a time. I encourage you to dig deeper as the true events that occurred on that day are NOT what they teach in school.

The Taliban now have one the best equipped militaries in the world.
Can’t wait to see the Taliban deployed in Ukraine. Russia don’t want none of the Taliban.
Now get back to work, tax slave. Those defense contracts aren’t going to be refilled by themselves.
Never happened. Just an excuse to enslave us even more.

Everyone thought the first one was a terrible accident. The second one made everyone realize some seriously fucked up shit just happened. History happened in front of them.
That is one big drone.
Where are the dancing Jews?
(((They))) are still dancing …
Looks pretty damn real to me.
VOX: Speaking of the US, I am curious to know what the general opinion in Israel is of the American neocons who, like you said, have been trying to overthrow Assad. They have overturned the Ukrainian government, the Libyan government, the Iraqi government, etc. What is the general view of the neocons in Israel?
MVC: Oh, we love them. The Israelis are very happy to fight the Arabs and the Iranians with American blood. During the first Gulf War, Israel was then under Yitzhak Shamir and did whatever it could to encourage an American invasion of Iraq. I wouldn’t say that this was decisive but they tried. It was the same when the Americans invaded Iraq for the second time. It was the same when Americans clashed with Iran over nuclear weapons. Each time you can see this very consistently. You can see the Israeli Right and, to some extent, even the Left say okay, this is lovely, we are going to let the Americans put the chestnuts in the fire for us.
Myself, I must say, that I dislike this policy very much. But certainly most Israelis like it. They like to be on the side of the strong as I see it. They push America as much as they can into these ventures. Just today I saw a famous t-shirt that says “Don’t worry America, Israel is behind you.” I also know that some Americans, like Pat Buchanan, have been writing that these lousy Israelis have been trying to use American for their own purposes and have unfortunately they have succeeded. So, personally I am not happy about this policy. I think that it may well one day act as a boomerang.
VOX: Do you think it is bad for Israel to be dependent in that way?
MVC: Yes, because, as we say in Hebrew, “the one who’s got the money has the say.” It’s bad in several ways, it is bad in the sense that we are tilting too much in the Republican direction. That is a bad thing in my view. It’s not bipartisan. There is a danger that one day support for Israel will probably fade and people will say enough of this. They will say Israelis are exploiting us with American-Jewish help. They are exploiting us for their own purposes. Let them go and fight their own wars. I have been warned more than once by my American friends that this is one day going to happen. It hasn’t happened yet but it is going to happen one day and it worries me. Frankly, it worries me.
VOX: Yeah, you don’t want to use your allies on a war that you don’t need and then not have their support when you actually need it.
MVC: Exactly.

Oral tradition, in the coin pockets & far away crevices where it is still practiced ~ like the arctic Inuit were, like they did it, not so long ago ~ passed the memories along, gen to gen, without, somehow, as much telephone game recipe messing. Memory-keepers in those milieus are tasked, & taskmasters. You forgot up there, you died … whole lotta selection pressure for keeping the clouds-&-everything-else –in- your-head/body … for competence.
In the grand ol opry (reeee? whatever that means) that is “the west,” memory is shunned generally•personally ~ I forget! I forget! ~ & “the important stuff” is subcontracted out to the gov “&” darpanet; heads have never more literally been disembodied into “the cloud.”
Memory consolidation happens in sleeping, dreaming, supposedly, saith the consolidators of that particular slide-stain cross-section of expertise (insomniac here, so dunno, but I’m gonna go with fook off). How’s that song go?
Welcome my son
Welcome to the machine
What did you dream?
It’s alright we told you what to dream
The kids go from parents, who lie their asses off ~ consciously & servo-mech cluelessly ~ to Big Daddies (played by Burl Ives), Big Mamas are coming on stronger & stronger too, in the Faulknerian caulking guns (I needed the “faulk” you see/hear, & not the Tennessee Williams…but lookeehere*) of August (& every other month, too) that/is “The State” keeps the trigger weldedepressed & the full-auto goop engulfing & decoupaging all the new cutouts to “their” places on the hot tin roof.
“In some cases, characters refuse to believe certain statements, leading them to believe they are lies. A recurring phrase is the line, “Wouldn’t it be funny if that was true?”, said by both Big Daddy and Brick after Big Mama and Maggie (respectively) exclaim their love. The characters’ statements of feeling are no longer clear-cut truths or lies; instead they become subject more to certainty or uncertainty. This phrase is the last line of the play as originally written by Williams and again in the 1974 version.[4]”

*”Let the writer take up surgery or bricklaying if he is interested in technique. There is no mechanical way to get the writing done, no shortcut. The young writer would be a fool to follow a theory. Teach yourself by your own mistakes; people learn only by error. The good artist believes that nobody is good enough to give him advice. He has supreme vanity. No matter how much he admires the old writer, he wants to beat him.”
