    No evidence, no study, just vibing it out.

    Most of the 9/11 stuff.

    With things like the Kennedy assassination there’s all kinds of documentation and motives and obvious cover ups and fake media narratives. With 9/11, it’s basically that they needed to do a false flag terrorist attack to invade Afghanistan. Maybe it’s just because it happened more recently. There’s just a lack of any clear plot like we have with literally every other shady event in US history. Like a lot of people say, 9/11 seems like more of a Pearl Harbor than a Gulf of Tonkin. Yes it had preceding causes, but they’re publicly known and stated by the parties involved. 9/11 stuff has no real world meaning other than “they needed a cause to invade Afghanistan”. Maybe that’s enough cause to let someone fly a plane into an important building, I don’t know.

      Peter Dale Scott’s The Road to 9/11 basically places 9/11 in a much broader history of maneuvering between factions of the US government. While invading the Middle East was an extremely important outcome, it was part of a much broader package. Notably after 9/11 you have the PATRIOT Act and the immediate massive growth of the surveillance state. Joe Biden just renewed the national state of emergency that remains uninterrupted.

      And even only in the context of the military and Imperialism, there were revolutionary changes in the attempt to acquire “full spectrum dominance.” In the words of the Project for the New American Century, “the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor.

      Also I’m sorry for being rude with the vibes comment. I’ve had yet another bad day with little sleep.
