I will never forget that the CIA trained Bin Laden.
I never forget that the US gov created Al Qaeda by indiscriminately blowing up people in the Middle-East, and some of the murdered were friends & family of the three founders of the group. Cause and effect. If my friends and family get bombed for existing I’d also become a vengeful terrorist who spends a decade growing more powerful by connecting with other victims of state murder. I just like to think I’d be able to retaliate on the ones responsible and there to be no innocent casualties.
… The US created Al Qaeda by giving them weapons to fight the Russians for them, then abandoning them when they won at massive personal cost… They literally armed and funded Osama Bin Laden through Pakistan… That part isn’t even a conspiracy theory.

The only “alleged” part is that the CIA didn’t DIRECTLY fund bin Laden… Only through Pakistan’s ISI (CIA equivalent)…
Like I get the indirect creating your enemies through causing suffering and destruction in other nations. Like that’s valid for ISIS for example. But Al Qaida literally wouldn’t have existed without American money.
Hot take incoming.
Turns out, Bin Laden was right, we should have not become so deeply invested in the middle east like we have and should have left it. Militarily and essentially colonialism of territory for oil.
The oil is just a nice bonus. What really drives the US wars are the weapons and ammunition sales
What really drives the US wars is pure evil.
FTFY.
What better way to fight your enemies than selling them all armaments and watch them go at each other’s throat.
Not only was he right, but Bin Laden won, even if it killed him. The attack on 9/11 pulled out all the stops on ignorance, xenophobia, evangelicals in politics, the surveillance State, right-wing nationalism, and so much more. We wasted trillions of dollars on wars.
The attack was a slow burn that took 20 years to collapse an “empire.”
“Patriot” act is still around
Thanks, Obama.
I never believed in any of the conspiracy theories around this.
But now with everything out about how much Israel controls everything in the U.S.
It’s made me reconsider this event as an IDF false flag operation.
Im not saying I believe it fully. I’m saying I’m now considering it a possibility.
As a regular citizen, I just don’t think I have access to, nor an expert understanding of the evidence to be able to make any solid conclusions.
I’m just saying it does follow their pattern of behavior. And it sure did benefit them immensely.
This event is a large factor in the current war with Iran and tensions/hostility with Muslim states in the Middle East.
There are plenty of conspiracy theories. There is also is a undeniable conspiracy. This is that the US used the events of 9/11 to expand a war on people who had nothing to do with it and commit to murdering and torturing innocents.
The lessons learned during the second world war, I will never forget. Unfortunately, everybody else has seemed to have forgotten.
I’ll never forget how my country let this happen, just so the Nazis I’m sorry Republicans can pass mass surveillance on we the people
As a more serious comment if you’ve never sat down and watched a 9/11 in real time dashboard video, I highly recommend it, very fascinating.
Friends and I always send memes in the group chat. They said never forget. They didn’t tell us how.
I was ankle deel in blood and bones looking for my brother goddammit!
“…he was in northern Canada.”
You mean 11.9.
It doesn’t have the same ring, you know? And 911 being the emergency number here in the US, it was a real double whammy for us way back then.
At least when they tore-up London they chose the seventh day of July to avoid this type of confusion.
Never forghetti
Never forgetti mom’s spaghetti
I’m going to go to a rifle range and harass people that don’t know how to shoot.
