9/11 will mean NOTHING to me

[kpete]

unless and until
we get our country back




peace, kpete

1. It's definately a monument of when it was took ,by whom is still unclear

Mission complete, Victory!!! ,What did this do for the top ? NWO

[Lionessa]

2. 9/11 mean something to me, just not what it's "supposed" to. To me it means

end of privacy, sanity, liberty, any feeling of safety regarding enforcement personnel across the board.

8. It also destroyed the economy

Shutting down the planes killed tourism, and then TSA kept it dead. NObody flies if they have an alternative, and more often than not, that alternative is not going, period.

[SunDrop23]

And that's what bin laden was after...

his plan was to cripple the us economy, so it makes perfect sense that he chose to attack whilst cowboy was in the white house. i expect bin laden knew what the response - and the subsequent financial burden on our country - would be and he knew cowboy would react in an irrational manner that would have repercussions for decades to follow.

3. I'm flying on 9/11 across the country.

Booked the flights two weeks ago to suit my needs.

Didn't occur to me until a few days ago that Sunday the 11th was... "September 11th"

Sad that so much death made us give up so much to get so little in return.

19. Hey, so am I!

I'll be on a Jetblue flight returning from New York to LA.

[NYC_SKP]

22. I'll wave to you!

My flight's from Sacramento to New Orleans. I guess I have a connecting flight somewhere!

Bon Voyage!

4. Right there with you kpete.

I will be avoiding the hype on TV, radio and social media that started LAST month.

I am not going to say again where I was, what I was doing when I heard, what I thought then, what I think now... blah blah blah.

I will continue to mourn
for the loss of life then,
for the loss of life resulting from decisions made in supposed response to that event and
for the loss of life yet to happen as we continue to ignore the high crimes perpetrated by our leaders over the last 10 years.

And I mourn that our country is not as great as I had once thought it was.
It can still be what I thought it was.
I am still hopeful that that can happen.
The Rule of Law will have to be respected again and enforced for that ideal to become a reality.
Not sure who or what will bring that about now.

I appreciate your contribution here. Thank you for posting this.

14. Very good post rose (nfm)

[ZombieHorde]

5. 9/11 means little to me, but if I had loved ones who died on that day,

I would probably feel different.

[SunDrop23]

15. i often wonder how the moms and dads of...

...innocent iraqi and afghan children who were killed as a result of the wars of choice that followed 9/11 feel?

that would be an interesting documentary...interview someone who lost a loved one on 9/11 along side someone who lost a loved one thereafter.

[ZombieHorde]

23. That would be a heart breaking documentary, nt

6. 9/11 should mean EVERYTHING to you, kpete. It is the defining moment...

when we lost our nation to the neo's and the cons. Every -fucking-thing changed 9/11. Liberals and progressives were silenced and cowed, and the thugs and cons had a field-day.

It's one of the most important dates in American history. Not because of the attack, but because this is the day that true democracy died in America.

[kpete]

9. my brother died

one year later
fell off a mountain

THAT meant something



peace, kpete (I have never been silenced or cowed)

[FourScore]

16. I'm so sorry for your loss, kpete.

It must have been devastating.

[girl_interrupted]

21. Then you should know how it feels

You lost your brother & I am very sorry for your loss, but a lot of people also lost brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, husbands, wives, relatives, friends, you name it. In many cases there were double losses, more than one family member was killed. I think you can relate to that.

Not to mention the ensuing loss of life with our wars in Afghanistan & Iraq. Thousands more of innocent lives lost. This was a horror story from beginning to end.

I always use to hope something good would come of this. It never has and it never will, I've given up hoping for that. So much changed from that day forward and none of it good. So suffice to say, you are lucky you can say it means nothing to you, to a lot of us it meant and still means everything.

7. Like a soul that can't cross over, this country will remain lost until there is justice

and I don't mean faceless patsy dumped in the sea justice. Until we are prepared to face the truth and rip down the temple of lies, we will flounder. Ten years on - OBL is dead, but the wars of opportunity rage on. We're country in a perpetual spiral of moral and ethical decline. We can get home from here because here is a lie.

[Rabblevox]

11. "The water is wide, I can't cross over" offered in complete respect...

Indigo Girls, Sarah MacLachlan, and Jewel.

It rarely gets better than this. (and yes, I realize this has nothing to do with the OP.)

12. Right you are, but that act on that date stands alone.

It and the people who perished don't follow today's current political climate.

[BOHICA12]

13. You think we lost ourselves after 9/11 ....

pray we don't have another high concept / low technology attack of similar destruction. Things will get really, really ugly. The US can be a very unfriendly place - just ask our Japanese-American friends.

[1620rock]

17. And our North American native friends.

[Initech]

18. To me 9/11 was the death of America and the rise of the military industrial complex.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

20. The terrorists won

They knew we couldn't resist launching worldwide war, with no endgame or real plan, at great expense. It has destroyed us, likely for good.
