What September 11, 2001 Taught Us: There Are No Adults in the Room
The Stream ^ | 11 Sep 2014 | Jason Jones and Jon Zmirzak

The Axis of Evil in American politics is now complete: Barack Obama, Dick Cheney, and Kamala Harris are all on the same side. They will compromise on any of their supposed ideological differences and bury old blood-stained hatchets — remember when the Left called Cheney a war profiteer and blood-crazed jingoist? — in pursuit of a higher goal.

That goal is keeping power in the hands of tiny, privileged elites who despise most lesser Americans. And centralizing such power in the hands of unelected bureaucrats, including the power to start pointless wars (see Iraq, Libya, and Ukraine), and flood American cities with tens of thousands of poor immigrants. Remember that it was Bush/Cheney that started the policy of recruiting Somalis and flying them over 10 safe Muslim countries in order to make Minnesota more “diverse.” Mission accomplished!

You could see the coalition taking shape years ago, when all the Best People gathered for John McCain’s funeral in Washington, D.C., and then-President Donald Trump was pointedly disinvited. Our elites air-kissed and traded alligator tears around McCain’s flag-draped casket. In a touching moment of bipartisan polyamory, George W. Bush and Michelle Obama flirted like 13-year-olds while Barack looked on with a smile.

What unites these power elites beside a haughty contempt for the public they claim to serve? One key qualification that is too little discussed, even among MAGA types: amoral, blasé, dilettantish incompetence, unencumbered by moral principles or basic human empathy.

That or the adults are very evil.

The terrorists targeted the building in 1993 with a truck bomb and almost blew it up. Either the powerbrokers had no plans to protect the building occupants against the promise from the Blind Sheik that it would be destroyed... or the powerbrokers enabled it for political and financial gain.

The more I think and see about 9/11, the more I realize it was not as advertised. Thermite doesn't come from thin air. Molten metal for weeks after the perfect demolition-style collapse. The "E-Team" and elevator techs in the building for a year. Not to mention the Dancing Israelis and their mysterious moving company. Lucky Laaaaaaary Silverstein. Collapsing floors in freefalll speeds taking the internal columns with them. Those very steel beams still in the rubble upright but cut at perfect angles near the bottom. The first responder reports of multiple explosions below them, in basement levels...

Did bush know? No. Not really. That's why he was selected--an amiable dunce that would fall for every trap they set and unwittingly do their bidding.

Either/or is so limiting, and both/and is very often the correct answer. Look for this for the next 6 months, you’ll see my point and become a full convert.

My lifespan has taught me, “red pilled” me.....like a gradually harder hitting 2x4 to the temple....

There Are No Adults in the Room

Not in church, government, or majority people.
