The 9/11 Nightmare Never Ends
American Thinker ^ | 11 Sep, 2025 | J.B. Shurk

You will own nothing and become Muslims.

One of the nightmares that periodically jolt me awake is the image of an American jumping from the inferno-ravaged upper stories of New York’s World Trade Center into the dust-plumed streets below. He is tormented and maybe praying and then gone. More than anything else, that horror from 9/11 haunts me.

In the first few years after the Islamic terror attack, news programs would replay some of those desperate moments caught on video, when workers trapped between floors of fire were forced to make a final decision about how they would die. Many of the videos showed pairs (co-workers, friends, strangers?) holding hands as they leaped from billowing smoke into the bright sunlight of that Tuesday morning, their bodies clearly visible against the blue sky before vanishing into the grayness below.

As the years went by, those videos disappeared. Even during the annual memorials for 9/11, the sight of Americans falling from the sky was gradually obscured in the historical record. When I finally noticed those erasures, I realized that the significance of the Islamic attacks on the United States was being rewritten in real time. People who had the means to shape public “narratives” no longer wanted Americans to relive the agony of 9/11. They did not want us to reflect upon the horror of Americans being forced to choose between dying from flames or a thousand foot drop onto city streets. They wanted us to forget.

I was in favor of the post-9/11 wars because I naïvely believed that Western civilization was finally prepared to defend itself from the barbarians at the gate. After 9/11, Americans generally agreed about two things: (1) We were in a civilizational war, and (2) militant Islamists were our enemies.

and the problem is it just happened so fast. I remember when I was a kid. I lived in Southern California near the beach and it was a paradise. I haven’t been back in decades, and I hear it’s just basically turned into a hole.

I read another article this morning that said something like "G W Bush rightly stated that islam is a religion of peace".

WHAT?

Many have not awakened in the years since then?

Don’t pretend anything; this is their victory over your soul, and the cognitive
dissonance created by capitulation will torment your mind. Be true to yourself, and if you’re a Christian, be true to your Lord and Savior. Be polite. Be professional. Do your work to the best of your ability. But don’t give them your soul.

I will never forget seeing the occupied planes deliberately flown into occupied buildings by savage subhumans inspired by the ideology of death and destruction that calls itself a religion.

Instead of blocking entry to all members of the death cult, they became a highly privileged victim class, and now possess political power over normal people.

French writer, Michel Houellebecq’s novel, “Submission “, gives a very chilling scenario of a Muslim takeover of France. Much of what he predicted is coming true in the US.
