11th Anniversary of 9-11 Attacks--Have we learned anything?



11 years ago today, thousands of Americans died.  What have we learned in the 11 years since the attack?

Not much apparently or at least the majority of Americans are still willfully ignorant about the truth of 9/11.

We were told:
Four planes were hijacked on that morning.  2 Planes were flown into the WTC towers with stunning precision. 1 plane was crashed into the side of the 5-story Pentagon building.  On the last plane, the passengers fought back and it crashed in a field in Somerset County Pennsylvania.  We were told that the hijackers were members of Al Qaeda and that the plot was masterminded by Osama Bin Laden. We were told that we were attacked because "they hate us and our freedoms and way of life."
As a result, we swiftly invaded Iraq; toppled their government; and killed anywhere from 110,000 to 1.03 million (including civilians and military personnel).  We also invaded Afghanistan because they were harboring these terrorists.  We toppled their government; killed 28,000+; and helped re-institute a government there.

The truth (or at least as I understand it from the evidence):
The truth, unfortunately, is much more nefarious.  The attacks on September 11th were orchestrated by the United States (or at the very least allowed to happen for political purposes). In fact, the US has planned to create false flags in the past and the US completed false flags in the past.  Some officials knew about the attacks (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and yet no attempt was made to stop the attack.  Our country, in the past, had planned such false flags and even executed a few (such as the USS Liberty and USS Cole, see also Gulf of Tonkin incident).

Furthermore, we were told that Al Qaeda was responsible for the attacks.  Further evidence suggests that Al Qaeda doesn't even exist and it was created by the CIA as a scapegoat.

The US facilitated in attempted attacks for political purposes including helping the "underwear bomber" get on a plane (1).  This was "convenient", for lack of a better word, because the US needed the justification to roll out all of the body scanning devices it had purchased the year before.

As a result of the attacks on September 11th, our congress has passed dozens of bills, created federal agencies (the DHS & groin groping TSA were created post-9/11) and dozens of executive orders have been written increasing the power of the federal government and restricting the rights of citizens.


We are committed to a perpetual war on terror.  This war was the justification for the war on patriots

The DHS has put the "terrorists" on the back burner and waged war on patriots. They've been targeting libertarians, constitutionalists, evangelical Christians, gun owners, and veterans.

The TSA is planning on rolling out it's body scanners and psychological conditioning tactics (even admitting that they aren't making us safer) to train and bus stations. Pretty soon we won't be able to travel anywhere without having to show our papers to the American gestapo TSA.

And the government has waged war on our liberties via NDAA and the Patriot Act but even right to redress our grievances (our free speech).

We were told to support the patriot act because it makes us safer.

Are we any safer? We're 8 times more likely to die from a police officer than from a terrorist.

I could write so much more, but all I can say is believe half of what you see, none of what you hear and understand that democide results in more deaths than any war.

MORE Big Sister Intimidation: $11k fine, possible arrest for defending your rights

The Florida Sun-Sentinel just reported that the TSA is refusing to back down on their unconstitutional infringment of 4th amendment rights of passengers that decide to fly the "friendly skies."

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is warning that any would-be commercial airline passenger who enters an airport checkpoint and then refuses to undergo the method of inspection designated by TSA will not be allowed to fly and also will not be permitted to simply leave the airport.

That person will have to remain on the premises to be questioned by the TSA and possibly by local law enforcement. Anyone refusing faces fines up to $11,000 and possible arrest.

More TSA Controversy: Woman Asked to Remove Prosthetic Breast

A woman, who works as a flight attendant, was asked to remove her prosthetic breast during one of TSA's "enhanced pat-downs". Read about it and see the video here: http://wewontfly.com/video-woman-made-to-remove-prosthetic-breast

Big Sister Intimidation: TSA to investigate OPT-OUT man

The TSA has announced that they will investigate the man that Opted-out of a full-body scan and explained "If you touch my junk, I'll have you arrested."
Did Aguilar [,chief of the San Diego TSA office,] feel the TSA was set up?
"I don’t know that it was an actual set up," said Aguilar, "but we are concerned that this passenger did have his recording prior to entering the checkpoint so there is some concern that it was an intentional behavior on his part."  READ MORE
First of all, this is a dangerous trend that is becoming more and more common.  The trend is that the government, and agencies working directly for the government, feel that a citizen is not ALLOWED to make recordings of events that transpire involving them.

Recordings are one of the few ways we can obtain an unbiased view of events that transpire involving the government, and it's a primary means to hold the government accountable.

Next, we should see this event for what it is: a show of force by the government, in many ways it's like the government picking out the one tough guy in the prison yard and beating the snot out of him to send a message, but also it sends a big message to all of the other travelers, don't you dare OPT-OUT or we'll make an example of you too.

Public More Critical of TSA Electronic "strip searches"

More and more people are standing up and questioning their loss of privacy in many airports throughout the country.  I objected to this invasive search procedure from the beginning.  It always starts with a relatively small loss of liberty at the expense of security, and then it progresses until neither liberty nor security exist.

First, people were told that they must allow TSA to have access to all of their luggage (and it's contents) without respect for the passenger's privacy.  Then, people were told that everyone would be safer if they were required to take off their shoes to be x-rayed.  Now, people are once again told that they should sacrifice a "little" more liberty for some security.

So, the Department of Homeland Security proceeded to mandate that all passengers must subject themselves to a "digital strip searches" (i.e. Full Body Scanners-sample image) or be required to be "pat down" by TSA agents to assure the safety of passengers.  However, the DHS has made the full body scanner the primary means to find dangerous weapons; explosives; and illegal contraband, even amidst concerns from the Chief Privacy Officer at the Department of Homeland Security (PDF-Google docs).


"We have received minimal complaints," a TSA spokeswoman told CNET yesterday. . .
[However, a]. . . growing number of airline passengers, labor unions, and advocacy groups, however, say the new procedures--a choice of full-body scans or what the TSA delicately calls "enhanced patdowns"--go too far. (They were implemented without much fanfare in late October, amid lingering questions (PDF) about whether travelers are always offered a choice of manual screening.)
Unions representing U.S. Airways pilots, American Airlines pilots, and some flight attendants are advising their members to skip the full-body scans, even if it means that their genitals are touched. Air travelers are speaking out online, with a woman saying in a YouTube video her breasts were "twisted," and ExpressJet pilot Michael Roberts emerging as an instant hero after he rejected both the body scanning and "enhanced patdowns" options and was unceremoniously ejected from the security line from Memphis International Airport.
One lawsuit has been filed and at least two more are being contemplated. There are snarky suggestions for what TSA actually stands for, attempts at grope-induced erotic fiction, and now even a movie. . . .
When you travel whether for business or pleasure OPT out of a full-body scan and say that you object to being groped by the TSA.  Claim religious objection, claim a privacy objection, or claim 4th Amendment objection, but whatever reason you cite be polite and firm and let the TSA know that you do have a freedom from "unreasonable search and seizures."
The obvious answer is the one which the TSA and its parent agency, DHS, is to profile passengers for random screening.
