Was 9/11 The Beginning Of The End Of The American Empire?
Was 9/11 the beginning of the end for America? In the 22 years since the attacks, I ve begun to worry that the answer to that question is yes.
It spawned the worst and most destructive foreign policy in the country s history. The government response to 9/11 birthed the constitutional abomination that is the modern warrantless surveillance state. The Patriot Act enabled the government to weaponize its vast resources against its own people.
Bush s failed foreign policy led directly to Obama s presidency, and indirectly to Biden s, both of which are responsible for diminishing the U.S. at home and abroad, militarily and economically. After two failed forever wars that wouldn t have happened without 9/11, our government is now desperately trying to foment a potentially nuclear forever war against Russia.
Meanwhile, all the massive surveillance powers claimed by the U.S. after 9/11 are being ruthlessly deployed against American political enemies of the regime via the most insidious censorship-industrial complex the world has ever seen.
