The 20th anniversary of the attacks on 9-11 presents a day to reflect, remember and pay tribute to those we lost. I am sure most of us remember exactly where we were at the moment we found out our nation was under attack by terrorists. Our nation was forever changed by those moments on September 11th, 2001.
Perhaps we can share our memories together as we think about the 20th anniversary of this date.
Where were you on that day? And what memories are most vivid for you?
I was heading downtown on the expressway to the office. I heard the first reports on the radio, speculation of a small plane crash into the tower, etc, Looking at tall building in sight in front of me I wondered how it would look if a plane crashed into it. I got into the office, listened to the radio all day. People were quiet, kept their heads down, pretending to work.
This is the worst anniversary with what the PINO has done with Afghanistan. More deaths of Americans. The traitorous gift of our military equipment to terrorists. A MSM willing to sweep it all away. Almost as scary as the original day.
Was working when a young kid just hired (from Boston) came up to me and said “bossman,a plane just hit the world trade center”.I told him that was not funny and don’t joke about stuff like that (my BIL was in the WTC bombing in the early 90’s).He said “no,for reals jefe”,which means boss in spanish. (he was Puerto Rican ).I went to a guys house that had it on tv,just in time to see the 2nd plane hit.I said to everyone there,we’re under attack.
Unfortunately,I feel like we’ve been under attack every day since.May the good Lord bless us all and God bless America. Pax Vobis.
P.S.- Oh,I forgot to mention that we found out later that his uncle was on one of the planes that hit the WTC.
My Aunt Alice passed away during this time period in 2001. At her graveside service a few days after her passing, her daughters told us that she always said that — no, no, no, I don’t want to be around for the winding up period of the last days. She sat down with her family on the evening of September 10th to watch TV and quietly passed from this life.
My eldest children were in middle school at the time, and we were all in the final stages of getting them ready to go out the back door and walk to school (only a short walk away). Our routine was for the two boys across the street to come to our house and all 5 kids walked to school out our back gate. We didn’t have any radio or TV on at the time when the boys literally burst into our house with no knock from across the street and shouted … “have you seen it!” … “The building got hit” … “plane”. I switched on the TV and was just absorbing what was going on … and the second plane struck the second tower … live … on my screen in front of me.
Believe it or not … the newsreaders were still discussing whether the first plane strike was an accident with a small plane when the second airliner struck. Finally the idiot newsreaders started to consider the possibility of this being a coordinated attack. Watching the second airliner made it patently obvious we were being attacked. Idiot newsreaders.
As I continued to watch, absolutely shocked by the mayhem … it became obvious to me that the buildings were going to collapse. The fires were not going out, but were growing. I know steel softens and has a yield point. Surely the building frame was softening and a giant chunk of it blasted away. I was literally screaming at my TV to GET OUT of the buildings! And clear the sidewalks around them. What I didn’t expect was the complete and total collapse of the buildings. I thought that everything above the fires would collapse … but never considered the power of a pancaking building. I don’t believe we had ever seen ANY building collapse in quite that totally complete manner. And the shear SIZE of it all. Shocking. Horrifying.
And then … all I remember is my President repeat over and over … Religion of Peace … Religion of Peace … and I was DONE with the GOPe. Then Osama bin Obama is elected … almost as a final boot up America’s ass. I’m still waiting for a UNIVERSAL Islamic condemnation of the despicable act. Still waiting. Still waiting for the Islamic Reformation … which is several centuries too late as it is
I was in graduate school at the time. I spent the night before on a scanning electron microscope until 3AM, came home and fell asleep on the couch. I woke up at like 3pm and went to play Quake. I checked my email an hour later and there was a weird message from the Dean about “the events of the day”. Then I checked the news. I found out about 5pm that day.
I remember the controlled demolition of Building 7 later in the afternoon. Knowing from statements by companies who do controlled controlled demolitions of buildings that it takes a few days just to knock out support structures and set hundreds of charges to accomplish the task. I remember the videos of the molten thermite cutting charges spewing from the sides of the towers before they too appeared as if a controlled demolition was being conducted.
I remember there were no aircraft debris at the Pentagon other then the remains of a something the size of a cruise missile. I remember later how the signal from GPS satellites had been boosted that day. And I knew later that day that the response from these so-called attacks by the Federal government were in no way proportionate to an actual real attack by any foreign adversary.
Yet somehow the FBI knew about all of the perpetrators in way too short of time. When I went to my evening classes that day the school hadn’t even closed and nobody acted as if anything significant had happened that day, nor did they hardly even speak about it. Much like people don’t to this day. Because cognitive dissonance prevents that kind of dialogue.
Today I have no doubt that it was a false flag attack based on the course and destination of what the Federal government has done to its people since the spring of 2020 as well as the two decades of lies courtesy of the Federal employees who reside now within the militarized zone of the City of Washington. History will not be kind about the truth of this era in America when the American people were betrayed by the criminal cabal of some sick, totalitarian ‘New World Order’.
“What is at stake is more than one small country. It is a big idea — a new world order, . . .” – George Herbert Walker Bush’s January 29, 1990 State of the Union address
“…our fifth objective — a “New World Order” — can emerge: . . .” – George Herbert Walker Bush’s address before a Joint Session of the Congress on the Persian Gulf Crisis and the Federal Budget Deficit given on September 11, 1990, exactly 11 years to the day that it would begin in earnest.
“When our Founders declared a New Order of the Ages …they were acting on an ancient hope that is meant to be fulfilled. . . .” – George W. Bush Inaugural address on 20 JANUARY, 2009″
“Nazi [Globalist] forces are not seeking mere modifications in colonial maps or in minor European boundaries. They openly seek the destruction of all elective systems of government on every continent-including our own; they seek to establish systems of government based on the regimentation of all human beings by a handful of individual rulers who have seized power by force. These men and their hypnotized followers call this a ‘New Order’. It is not new. It is not order.” – Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882–1945), Annual Dinner for White House Correspondents’ Association, Washington, D.C. (15 March 1941).
“National Socialism will use its own revolution for the establishing of a New World Order.” – Adolf Hitler (1889-1945)
. . . nothing new under the sun going on here. The disciples of the National Socialist Party of Germany are the International, Globalist Socialists of today who are still pushing for exactly the same thing and even using the same tactics their predecessors used. Internment centers for reasons of the public health were the exact same ruse used by the Nazis before turning them into the death camps for undesirables to die within. Nothing has changed which is why I remember September 11, 2001 in the context that it deserves to be remembered in. Too bad hardly anyone can see that greater context too.
September 11, 2001
The day a treasonous bunch of envious, ingrateful, & malicious Neo-Machiavellian bureaucrats stole the American Dream by mind-raping my mother on her 58th birthday–because “trillions of dollars were at stake.”
I was home sick, got to watch live on TV with my rabbit ears. So proud of people on the Cleveland flight.
I was leaving a class at a local university when I saw the news on a TV. When I saw both buildings in fire I knew what had happened.
I went back to work and everyone was stunned. My sadness had turned to anger by this treacherous act of war.
I have noticed a few things changed after the attack on reporting. I recall in the papers a cell phone conversation a wife had with her husband on UA93 over Pennsylvania. Her husband told her there was a large explosion on the right side of the plane and they were crashing. I mention this because you cannot find the record of the conversation today. I have looked and I could never find it in a search, so i assume it was scrubbed.
I and others speculated that day the Air Force shot down UE 93 over Shanksville. It made perfect sense since the aircraft had turned of its transponder and wasn’t responding to repeated call from air traffic controllers. I believe it was a necessary if this was the case. The terrorists got lost, but certainly would have looked for another target. I’m sure they could see the USS building (UPMC) in downtown Pittsburgh from that altitude and distance. I believe the government didn’t want to tell the real story, so the story of the passenger, who were in fact trying to enter the cockpit as other conversations revealed, was promoted.
May God grant Peace to the loved ones of all who died in the attack and those who died in the wars that followed.
If you remember correctly every witness on the ground in PA testified to seeing a small white jet Lingering in the area which is the source of the “shot down” scenario. That jet was piloted by a man whom I know personally. That jet was scrambled out of wallops Island VA NASA facility. It is used to track launches on the base and he was tasked to find and track that flight. The plane was not, is not, and has never been capable of being armed. Truth be told, he has never been the same since.
This is a tough subject for me. I still have a copy of the Weekly Reader from school with those towers on the cover. I grew up and still live 14 miles from Manhattan and work in Jersey City…directly across the river from the site
From my front yard you could see the ring of lights at the site where they attempted to ID remains.
I know too many people who lost someone that morning. I threw out the suit I wore to over a dozen funerals just…..because. on I watch a friend bury her husband, son, and a daughter in law.
Our response.
Too little……too late.
I was dropping my daughter off for kindergarten. I flipped on the local talk radio station and they were talking about a plane crashing into the world trade center. I thought – that’s odd. What are the chances that would happen? On the way to work, a second plane crashed into the tower, and I knew it was not by chance.
My company had people scattered around the country. It took an enormous effort to get them home.
After following events of that day on my work computer, I have two vivid memories. All of the pictures and video of that day are all of lumped together as one and the other was that the gas station at which I usually filled up about every other day had their gas price at $6.49 per gallon. The price that morning was just above $2. I never bought gas at that station ever again.
I was a Nurse Manger at a Asisted Living Facility. I remember walking into the Day Room. Our Residents were gathered around the TV AsIi saw the Second Tower being struck. The fear and anger was overwhelming, as I cried. We had multiple Vets and their reaction of tears and sobs brought memories of their time during WWII. The coming days we as Americans were glued to the TV and the outpouring and rallying around this country and all who died. I remember the American Flag everywhere. WHAT happened to this country? We now have those that Kneel during the National Anthem and decscerate our Flag, hatred for Our LEO and First responders . I will NEVER FORGET AND HONOR ALL THOSE THAT LOST THEIR LIVES
GOD BLESS
TEA
Apathy…Apathy seems to have happened. I find that many who used to care now have that 1000 yard stare. Not good…Now with all the revelations about the ciafbidoj, etc….I’m not sure I can believe anything that comes out of the Gov’t – even events on 9/11.
We have learned quite a lot since the day the towers fell, haven’t we?! But, we still haven’t learned exactly what brought them down, though many architectural, structural, metallurgical engineers have been working the problem ever since. It seems there website is down or possibly overloaded, but here is the link anyhow:

I was in my office that day, well north of Manhattan. I remember driving in that morning thinking about how calm and peaceful everything seemed to be, wondering if it would stay that way. Sadly, an hour later I had my answer. With everything else that has come to light in the last couple of years – it’s pretty clear the official version has only a tiny chance of being true, and its getting smaller and smaller as time goes by. The Chaos Crew has a lot to answer for and answer they will, if not in this life, then the afterlife (small consolation for the rest of us).
fwiw, Darren Beattie tweeted out an excellent 5 hour documentary on all of the problems with the official narrative, including all of the war games. It’s called “The New Pearl Harbor (full documentary)(9/11)” posted on the Lunar Monkey youtube channel, or just find it on his twitter.
Thank you Amanda.
The global war against America by Islamic terrorists massively escalated that day. Now, 20 years later, Americans realize we have lost that war.
it’s too bad the DC politicians haven’t.
What that day says to me and many years afterwards, as long as one American breaths air regardless of quality of leaders we have not lost.
My husband was at the airport in Chicago, I was frantic. Two small kids and the most helpless I’d ever felt. Worry for so many friends, families, and neighbors working in the tall buildings in Chicago.
Watching the Netflix series last night, the left is rewriting history to frame Reagan for the rise of the Taliban. SMH, people are so gullible they will believe anything and lap it up as if it were mothers milk.
knowing who is on board at netflix,obama,susan rice I wouldn t give netflix the time of day.The only thing they understand is boycotts which results in massive losses in money.Cancel netflix.
I haven’t seen the Netflix series – Nicco is right, I wouldn’t give Netflix the time of day (or my money) either. But, facts are stubborn things – Back in the ’80s, the “Taliban” were called the ‘Mujahideen’ and referred to by our press as ‘freedom fighters’, because back then, the Soviet Union was taking its turn in the graveyard of empires (as Afghanistan was/is called). Reagan provided support to the Mujahideen to make life more difficult for the Soviets in the larger strategy to end the Soviet Union. Of course, we know that it worked, along with a lot of other things, because a few years later the Soviet Union “fell”.
And, I should also point out that it wasn’t ‘Afghanistan’ that supposedly attacked us that day, it was a dastardly plot cooked up by ‘Osama bin Laden’ and perpetrated by his Al-Qaeda minions that caught us un-aware that day – and we had practically the full story by late that afternoon, just as Tower 7 was detonated, err, I mean, fell in its own footprint. Recall that Osama was a Saudi Arabian, not an Afghan, but in Operation-Enrich-Halliburton, Afghanistan became the target, not the Oil rich Saudi’s. Interesting, really, when you look back on it.
I vaguely remember a CIA video release, purporting to be Osama. It was so obviously someone else, that I no longer believe any official version of his guilt.
It is far more probable to ascribe responsibility to the demographic implied in the question “cuisine bono”…
Well, who was in charge of security at the tower complex during that time?
happy meal?
I was working for AA as a Flight Attendant that day and on duty that day.
Bill Clinton opened the door when he continued to do NOTHING while BinLaden was continuing to attack American interests throughout his two terms. The last prior to September 11, 2001 was the bombing of the
USS Cole in Oct 2000.
I believe it was Webb Hubbell that was instrumental in bringing moslems into the federal government in key positions, starting with the Clinton’s……..Huma Abedeen being one.
we are avoiding Netflix so did not see that series about 9/11 . . . just wondering, if it was framing Reagan as responsible for the rise of the Taliban, how did the Bushes come out?
The History Channel series the Road to 9/11 is worth your time (and much more accurate.)
There is a documentary on Netflush that I have not watched…..just watch a trailer. Supposedly it is about how the corrupt federal Cretin politicians used 9/11 to spy on USA citizens exclusively, with no oversight, no regards for the laws, all for …….”National Security”
Now look where we are.
It all makes sense…..the dots are connected.
That morning, I walked into my office in Arlington, Virginia and saw news video of the first plane and thought it was a huge accident, then the second plane hit, and then came reports of the Pentagon and Pennsylvania. My office was about two miles from the Pentagon and immediately Arlington Boulevard was filled with cops, ambulances, etc. speeding east to the crash site.
One of my clients was the FAA and my team was supporting air traffic control in Leesburg. Lots of confusion early on, but both the Feds and contractors worked through the day to clarify and understand what had happened.
I was ten years old when Kennedy was assassinated in 1963 and until 9/11 that was the most surreal day of my life. I’ll never forget it, hard to believe it was twenty years ago.
God bless us.
I was in Chemistry class in College, one guy kept getting text messages on his phone and said a plane hit a building in NY. The teacher put on the TV, I can’t remember the channel, and we watched the chaos unfold during the class.
I worked at a fast food place in Chicago at the time, later that day I went to work and during my shift a muslim family (that were regulars) came in trying to sell us American t-shirts and flags and they looked very happy. Used our tragedy to make a dollar on the same day it happened. After that I was never the same person.
I was getting ready for work and was looking at the TV and putting on my tie. I saw and image of smoke coming from a tall building and recalled some actor was supposed to make a Hollywood movie about an airplane crashing into a highrise. Initially, I thought this might have been a preview. It was not.
I was up late working on a criminal case and thus was able to see that some airplane had apparently crashed into one of the World Trade Center Towers. As I went outside to get in my vehicle to work, I noted the clear, crisp morning air with a sky so very blue.
When arriving at the department, I and my fellow Invesigators were watching the TV when the second plane hit the second tower. We all knew then we we under attack and everyone got angry and committed to doing whatever was necessary to right this wrong before us.
It was a day that is unforgettable.
I cannot get past my rage over Afghanistan.
Dear September 11, 2001 families, responders and survivors, May the “The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn His face toward you and give you peace.”
Numbers 6:24-26.
I know, I find it very hard today to get into the memorial spirit for that day, today. We have a man in the Oval office and his handlers who have armed to the teeth the very enemies that perpetrated this atrocity. Imagine what those 3000 dead from 911 might think.
I would seek to ascribe guilt to those who benefitted…
and seeing stupid George and Laura Bush who have no criticism of Joe Biden – no WSJ editorials – sitting there – then George W. having the nerve to equate any American-loving Americans with the 9/11 perpetrators
What a coincidence the planned failure in Afghanistan happened in time for 9/11.
It turns my stomach to see what we have as leadership now.
I feel it is all the same thing. At that time our enemies had wormed themselves into our airline system, but now they have wormed themselves into the highest levels of our government. Like those on Flight 93, we might not survive, but we have to keep their mission from succeeding. Let’s roll.
Something inside me changed forever on 9/11.
Hard to explain.
The change eventually led me here, the the Treehouse.
Woke up at the regular 5:00 morning time, California time, turned on the news, had some coffee, then the news, live.
I still remember everything I did that day.
We were living in a suburb of Cleveland, Oh. I was at home with my 10 month old triplets and a friend. My husband called from work and told us to turn on the tv to a news channel. We watched the entire tragedy unfold with tears running down our faces. We started getting warnings about the flight that crashed in PA – for a while authorities said it was heading for Cleveland. I remember thinking what kind of world will this make for my babies? What will they have to endure from this? I had no idea. They are 20 years old now, and our world continues to get worse.
I hate the television in the morning. So the odd thing for me was that it was one of only a few times in my life I had ever done so. This was very early morning in Seattle.
I know that a lot of other people have similar stories.
I didn’t know it at the time, but I was sitting in my last class ever at the Special Operations Academic Facility, Fort Bragg, NC. We were told to report back to our unit and await further instructions. I called the wife. I told her to tell the kids I loved them, and I don’t know when I’ll be home. To this day, I’m still part of producing some of the most decorated warriors our nation has ever known.
I am still angry after all these years. I used to think it was the Muslims that hadn’t paid the price for the attack. But I was wrong.
In retrospect it is the enemy within that hasn’t paid the price for 9-11. After hibernating for about 25 years post-Viet Nam the 9-11 attack brought America’s Fifth Column domestic enemy out of the shadows….the American Left and it’s co-enabler of Islam, the Democrat Party.
We are in a Civil War. We have been in that Civil War since the Clinton years and it is escalating…..

We have been in that Civil War since then and it is escalating…..
Never forget that Obama tried to minimize 9-11 by trying to turn it into a “day of service” rather than keep it as a day of remembrance.
Never forget: Before Brennan became Obama’s Director of the of the Central Intelligence Agency on March 8, 2013, he spent 25 years with the CIA in numerous positions, including CIA station chief in Saudi Arabia, chief of staff to CIA director George Tenet, and director of the National Counterterrorism Center.
And it was Brennan who gave the 19 Muslim Terrorists visas to enter the US.
Former CIA director John Brennan personally green-lit the 9/11 hijackers entry into the US after being informed of “potential terror concerns.”
Never Forget.
It was the Clintons all along who enabled Al Qaeda. They bugged out of Somalia which gave bin Laden his original ideas about America. Then there was the first Trade center attack. Andrew McCarthy got two of the perps. Then came Khobar Towers and the embassy attacks. Clinton did nothing. Finally the USS Cole. The excuse for that fecklessnes was “we need more actionable intelligence.
Read Willful Blindness by Andrew McCarthy Read The Looming Tower By Lawrence Wright. Read The Man Who Warned America by Murray Weiss Read See Something, Say Nothing by Philip Haney
Connect the dots.It was the Clintons all along .
If you ever get the chance to see the original Path to 911, which is an ABC production that was first forcibly edited at the orders of the Clintons and then squirreled away after broadcast, please watch it. It is not available commercially. I have seen the unedited pirated copy. It is devastating to the Clintons and the entire security apparatus except for John O’Neill who left the FBI and went to work at the Towers. He died in the attack. And the Clintons sold out the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan just before the attack
Pay no attention to the wikipedia page about this film….it is pure fiction.
The question is why the coverup and no response to Jihadism by the Media, Government, Clergy and Academe. I can only think of three reasons.
1) political correctness 2) they have been paid for their silence 3) they are stealth converts to Islam
I was not particularly political prior to 9-11. I was a brain dead Democrat but was never fond of Muslims. But I was outraged by the attack and I thought America would pull together just as we did after Pearl Harbor. Boy, was I wrong.
Within a week of the attack there were articles in the LA times from lib writers detailing how the attack was our fault. I had no idea how deep the Muslims had burrowed into our society and how corrupted the Dems and the Establishment RINOcrats were.
Within 6 months I was a confirmed conservative but I already had a feeling that Bush’s heart was not really in this fight.
I find it appalling that the twin pillars of our 20 year war on terror is being marked by failure, first by our intel agencies in 1995-2001, and second by the collapse of Afghanistan which can be laid right at the feet of the most compromised, corrupt and treasonous president we have ever had, China Jose Dementio.
How bad was the collapse? We evacuated the military first leaving Americans to fend for themselves. 13 American soldiers died due to ISIS. Al Qaeda has reconstituted. We handed over 80 billion in equipment to the Taliban and Bagram Airbase. We sold out the Northern Alliance again. We have imported over 60,000 unvetted Afghan refugees, many on terrorist watchlists. And Gen. Aunt Milley and Jose Dementio are taking victory laps chanting Surrender is Victory. Four of the Gitmo Terrorists that Obama traded to get the traitor Bowe Bergdhal back are now helping to run the new and improved Taliban Government.
If you want to learn about Academic and Government cowardice in action regarding Islam and the surrender to the Jihad, from the Clinton administration through the Obama administration, read Andrew McCarthy’s “Willful Blindness”, the story of his prosecution of the Blind Sheikh who was responsible for the 1st Trade Center Bombing. Also read Philip Haney’s book “See Something Say Nothing”. Haney was one of the original founders of DHS and was fired because he got too close to the Obama Admin’s efforts to block any investigations into Muslim terrorism domestically.
Ironically, Haney was murdered in California.. The initial report says it was a suicide, but it’s starting to look otherwise. Sound familiar?
People close to Haney say he was working on a followup to his book and had proof that Obama was actively working to increase Islamic hegemony in the U.S. Case in point Obama was the Drone King. He ordered dozens of attacks through JASOC and killed plenty of Jihadis, including bin Laden and al-Awlaki. At the same time he was importing Somali Muslims by the bushel.

Additional worthwhile reading would be Lawrence Wright’s “The Looming Tower”….the story of the events during the Clinton Administration that led up to 9-11….specifically Khobar Tower, the US Embassy bombings in Africa and the USS Cole.
The patterns are obvious.
very informative
Where is that Muslim John Brennan today? I believe I’m correct in this, but I read long ago he was Chief of Station who authorized the visas of the 9/11 murderers. That has stuck with me. It raises a LOT of questions.
Bush II stopped profiling at airports and everywhere right before the attacks.
There’s a definite spiders web here. I hope one day well see all the strands unwound, each and every one exposing all that we suspect but do not yet know.
And Bush today in his despicable and inappropriate speech exposes himself more and more to be a completely different person from the personae he presented back then.
Nate – you have the outline of an important book here. Please write it.
You are absolutely Spot-On regarding that 5th column. I recall that Americans did respond with a robust patriotism, which was then methodically deconstructed by leftist politicians and media, using Cold War legacy Active Measures, making ‘the public square’ part of the battlefield. Most still don’t comprehend this aspect of the fight, IMHO.
As Strategic Air Command stood down, the new Clinton administration ushered in the “Peace Dividend”; not as the methodical, strategic drawdown plan formally proposed by CJCS Powell & Co., but a profligate, criminally negligent divestment of US national security, across the board. Powell smartly saluted and resigned. Clinton’s Energy Secretary single-handedly destroyed the artfully crafted security system at Sandia Labs. Leftist social-engineering destruction of the US military became an administration policy priority, which continues to this day…and on…and on.. and on…
I disagree that ‘Bush’s heart was not in the fight.’ GWB was handed the very same, compromised national security establishment crapulence as Trump, but decided to go along with it and employ it (remember ‘the new tone’ in DC?) to guide his response. The difference is that Trump turned to resist and repair that corrupt apparatus, at great personal cost.
My first, post 9-11 CENTCOM intel briefing described the sanctuary border ROEs for Pakistan (nee Cambodia), demonstrating that the same DC Beltway geopolitical policy-maker cadre deliberately ignored the most important lessons of the Vietnam/SEA war. Hence, our current, self-destructive trajectory (‘limited war’, endless ‘nation-building’ excuses, et al) was clearly established by 2002. And that’s exactly how it’s played out, at horrific cost in American blood and treasure; not to mention everybody else’s. This is proof-positive that the US military did not lose Vietnam – nor did it lose Afghanistan. It’s way past time for eagle-eyed assessment and accountability, concerning the otherwise legitimate, Constitutional civilian control of the military and how that is enacted.
Again, you are spot-on. This Enemy has been Inside our Gates since the 1930s. So, do not miss the thread running through it all: Karl Marx -is- the intersection point of ‘intersectionality.’
Fight’s On. Time to break the glass and employ without reservation the emergency assets our Constitution has quietly protected for over 230 years.
“My grace is sufficient for thee…” – – 2 Cor 12:9
Twenty Years ago I was the Active Duty Manager for a Texas Air National Guard Special Operations Weather Flight.
– I had just gotten back to the office from our Ops Group weekly meeting. I heard on the radio that there had been an explosion at the World Trade Center. I remember the last explosion and wondered if it was another Terrorist bombing. I went down to storage and pulled out a small TV from one of the Team kits. I had it set up and tuned in just in time to see the second plane hit live on TV.
I called the Boss at his job and said “We are at war”
He had been watching as well and we started discussing plans for the next two weeks.
I hung up that call and started the Recall Roster…
I notified my unit members to tell their employers to prepare for their absence, and to pack their bags, triple check their gear, and prepare their families.
I then called AFSOC and notified them that all unit members are accounted for and prepared for 72 hour deployment as required.
My first team went out the door in December 2001, our unit had at least one person deployed in support of OEF and OIF from 2001 until I was medically retired in 2010.
While I was in Kabul in 2003 the backstabbing POS that I voted for in 2000 changed the ROE to handcuff the Heroes who won the war, and installed Islam as the government of Afghanistan,
AND started the purge of our military leadership to install the Pro-Islam brigade that runs it today.
I was NOT surprised when bush voted for Hillary or when he voted for biden.
We as a Nation have forgotten 911…
The proof is that we have actual Terrorist sympathizers elected to congress,
AND
We have a Dictator that actually said for the record that he is losing patience with Law Abiding American Citizens,
And we haven’t Tarred and Feathered him and Strung up those who are controlling him.
Just imagine a World without Islam,
THEN we could forget 911…
without getting a reminder like the one Dictator biden just set up and paid for…
Last night I dreamed that I was sitting in a open meeting room as several government officials walked in.
One of these was none other than George W Bush. He was wearing a skirt!
MSG Grumpy: I share your grumpiness and appreciate your recollections. I feel the same way.
I remember standing in a tiny shop in Wales where I worked. It was in the afternoon there, 5 hours difference. My dear British friend phoned me to deliver the horrific news, but because I was working, it was another 4 hours before I could get home to see for myself the complete tragedy. Possibly the longest 4 hours I’ve ever experienced. For days after the Welsh people I knew well and those whom I knew only by their faces stopped by that tiny shop to offer condolences. I was the only American living there for miles. Their concern and prayers were characteristic of a lovely people who felt the horror of that day and took time let me know their hearts were with America.
Biden-Obama calls Muslims
“true followers of a peaceful religion”. He desecrates the memories and lives of every single person caught up on that day. A fool and an appeaser…and unworthy to utter a word on this day of remembrance.
It’s all the more now that we know our own intelligence knew beforehand concerning these attacks 20 years ago
Across the Hudson river on the ferry dock by the Exchange Place Hyatt on the New Jersey side..
I remember the day so vividly! It was a beautiful warm, sunshine filled day, blue sky with not a cloud in the sky! I was in my 2nd floor office working (the building was about 5 minutes from downtown Cleveland),the phone rang & it was an associate calling to tell me a plane had hit the World Trade Center, while we were talking, the 2nd plane hit! I quickly hung up & went to find a radio, when all of a sudden I heard what sounded like a plane, I looked out the window & saw a jet flying east, that I felt was flying way to low & kind of erratically! I remember saying a quick prayer that there wasn’t something wrong with the plane & it wouldn’t crash, it was flying that low! Only later, did I realize it must have been the plane that went down in Pennsylvania!
I still get chills when I remember that day!
There’s so much more I vividly remember of that day as I’m sure most Americans do!
RIP all our heroes whose lives were cut short that day! Continued prayers for all the families who lost loved ones! Unending gratitude to those who helped save lives or lost their life in the aftermath helping !
God Bless America ??
Some people have no class or shame.
Two historic things during my lifetime that I remember where I was. JFK assassination and 9/11. History has a way of repeating itself and here we are twenty years after 9/11 and the pathetic human marionette installed in the White House is busy resettling tens of thousands unvetted Afghanistan refugees here in America. Like all things this administration does it is with purposeful intent. Setting the table for these unvetted foreign born Islamic terrorists to act again courtesy of our government is quite easy to predict. God bless America.
I was driving East on 24 Mile Road in Chesterfield, MI and witnesses the two F-16 jets take off from Selfridge ANG base to the north and bank hard and to the SW.
Anyone who lives by an AF base knows what training takeoffs and landings are like, THIS WAS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.
I was thousands of miles away in Goondiwindi (pronounced Gundiwindi)(population 5,000) on the New South Wales/Queensland border working in my office at around 11pm. It seemed I was the only one awake. The TV had been on as I worked and as I wrapped up to go to bed, I just quickly switched around the dial last thing. What caught my eye was an early morning (8am or so US TIME) scene of smoke billowing out of a tall building in the distance being discussed by American voices from the rooftop of another building. They thought it was a plane accident. There was also the comment that another building somewhere else was billowing smoke (Pentagon?) (Last two comments by memory.) I realized that the voices would have been media.
Alone I watched the pandemonium unfold. My husband was asleep and he had to get up at 5am to do motel breakfasts (my job was restaurant) so I didn’t wake him. Watching it live… the second plane hitting the second building, the collapse of each building, the firies heading up into the building to save people, the emergence of white ghosts coming out of the thick dust, the people storeys up waving makeshift flags, the people falling… Of course, my tears flowed, I hated whoever did this and my heart went out to America. I remember that Flt 93 was missing. It eventually crashed into a Pennsylvanian field. Later I heard of its heroes’ gallantry to try to overtake the cockpit.
I watched to 5am when sadly I rang my husband to tell him what had happened in America and that I was going to bed.
Please God I hope America rises again. The Obama Chicago Marxist traitors have to be stopped.
I was on I-64 heading to Williamsburg and a meeting of my “ordination small group” an exercise in Ecclesiastical Flatulence if there ever was one.
Experienced it all by Radio.
Downright Hindenburgish.
What struck me immediately after the events of that day, however, was our Societal Preoccupation with “Sadness/Grief/Tears”
and the “Weeping Eagle” Meme.
RIGHT THERE should have warned us that RIGHT NOW
under Our Pandemic of Tyranny was INEVITABLE.
“There’s no crying in the Eagle’s Domain.”
There is Rage, Rending, Revenge, Retribution, Reckoning.
2 years or so after “a date which will live in infamy”
“Bull” Halsey used to lead his men in a football like cheer:
“Kill Ja•s Kill Ja•s Kill More Ja•s!”
[let’s see if that outmaneuvers the “Verbotten Verds” algorithm censorbot]
By my rough calculus Global Ragdom owes The Eagle People 299,600 extra crispy Dark Age Barbarian Camel Humpers (at the Kipling minimum exchange rate).
Being overly optimistic and generous in estimating our 20 year progress, that’s still over a Quarter Mill DABs they are into us for.
Not counting subsequent Ragattacks.
My Righteous Lust for Justice has not waned.
“Justice too long delayed is Justice Denied.”
DMLKj
Weeping rather than Rage got us HERE.
I don’t like here.
Here sucks.
Pandemic of Tyranny indeed.
I was performing my morning ablution in the hot tub before going to work. Jason Whitlock was on the radio. All of the sudden he stopped talking. When he came back on air a couple of minutes later, he was obviously distressed. In a halting voice, he told his listeners a plane had just crashed into one of the trade center towers. No one knew then what was going on. I jumped out of the tub and ran inside to turn on the TV. Just as the picture came on with the tower billowing smoke, a plane appeared in the upper left hand corner of the screen. It was as surreal as it was serene. The plane seemed to be slowly gliding through the beautifully clear blue sky. I watched in horror as, without a waiver, that plane flew directly into the second tower. I was numb. I couldn’t believe what I had just seen. Then the horror began to set in…
I was working at Boeing and we were out in the shop working on a 757 when one of the guys yelled that a plane had hit the first building.
All the monitors/TV’s were flipped on and we all stood and watched when the second building was hit.
You could hear a pin drop in that huge building.
Many of us knew that we had built 2 of those planes that day.
The one that hit the Pentagon and the one in Shanksville.
I was consulting with a client early that morning. When I returned to the office everyone was gathered around a single computer and murmuring.
At first I thought it may be a new version of our software. Then I noticed the disbelief on their faces. When I stepped closer to see what had caused the concern, I was horrified by what I saw. The first plane had hit the building but the building had not yet collapsed.
As I continued to watch in disbelief, the second plane hit. At that point I declared we were at war. This could be nothing but an act of war.
The rest is history.
I was in my electronics shop onboard the USS Harry S. Truman. Had just turned on the TV, so that I could catch the news real quickly before work that day started.
As a member of a large state police detail sent by Gov. Pataki to assist NYC in the immediate aftermath of the attack, I have a lot of memories from both that day and the weeks following.
What stands out to me today are some of the differences.
Then, the mayor of NYC was a conservative Republican and today the mayor is a socialist Democrat.
Then, the people of NYC lined the route to Ground Zero cheering us as we passed by and today they shout “ACAB” and throw bricks at us.
I wonder if the two are connected?
I was at home that day as was my wife (my retail weekend and her nursing weekend). My wife told me that TV was showing a plane hitting the WTC and asked me if it was real. I told her to check the other channels. (War Of the Worlds?) It was on all the channels. “We are at war.”
We are still at war. We may not be interested in war, but war is interested in us. I tend to the belief that Islam has been at war with us since before our country existed. There are private conspiracies of socialists and plutocrats that have been at war with us for just as long.
The uniparty is a combination of enemies and frenemies. Most of the people I have ever voted for are crooks. The surveillance state built around our reaction to 911 is not our friend. It is the one ring of our time.
When I think of 911, I think of Tolkien’s The Two Towers. The gifts of our intelligence community turn our politicians into ringwraiths.
I would despair but for my knowledge that God rules. This time between RoshHashana and Yom Kippur is the best time foe prayer. The gates of Prayer are open.
Saw first building hit as i was leaving for work. Cried all the way to town. Then saw 2nd building hit just about time i was starting to get mad. Told co workers…”the whole world just changed”. They all brushed it off till a week or two later. Called my Daddy- a marine vet. It was the closest I’ve ever heard him to openly crying.
I was right about our world changing.
That day is when i started going down rabbit holes looking for truth of what has happened over the last 2000 years.
It was the day i started waking up.
Its been a long road. I’m sick of this bullshit. I’m sick of bastards and godless demon ridden f….rs getting away with everything they are doing to good people. I’m sick of sleeping sheep who refuse to see whats going on.
Thanks, sundance, for the sunlight and reason u have provided over the years.
Thanks,treepers for your insights over the years.
Oh…and hi to “L” from alabama. We flow u girl in mississippi. Thank u too for the digs.
It was a very ordinary day… until my wife called and said, “Turn on the TV.”
The initial confusion was soon replaced by… disbelief, shock, a numbness and then anger.
May we never ever forget, and above all… learn.
God bless America.
I rarely post personal stuff but, this time I will. I was in VA developing a system to replace old dinosaur of a classified intel analyzation system that the Army used. I remember sitting at the table getting ready to go into work with my tv on Fox and watching. I ran into work (5 mins away) and met with my crew (some of which were called into DC on emergency status). The public internet was down but we had access through another channel to watch it unfold. The whole company that made it in moved over to my house to watch it on tv instead of the net. We knew that we were about to go through a rigid change in protocol and sat and discussed those changes in the system as we watched the towers fall and the on the ground scenes at the Pentagon..a place many knew well in my crew. While we were aghast and stunned at what was happening at the same time we were planning next steps from lessons learned to advance the tech in which to help our troops that we instinctively knew would be going into the war theater. We did, it worked and the rest is history. I’m very proud of it. Just a side note: The NSA (led by that same freaking fool who said to mass deport MAGA supporters – Hayden) missed ALL the signs of the impending attack whether through incompetence or on purpose. The fact is that Hayden shifted focus from Humit to Bio-tech facial recognition before the attack. Well that inspired leadership really worked, didn’t it. When questioned in an interview right after the attack he bragged about it being the “thing of the future”. So he was dismissing all those deaths on 9/11 by his incompetence. Every time I see that fool on TV I think of all those who died that day and all the young lives lost in the warfighting effort. The $Trillions it cost us. He was a Clinton rube of the worst kind. His predecessor was no better. He (Alexander) bragged about personally patenting all the innovations made by gov and contractors to fight the war. Of course he had to back off when he found out that it would cost him $Billions in legal fees and fines if he did so. He became a PNG and you rarely hear of him now. So much corruption….all over.
And now I am watching Fox with the old grifters (the Clintons) arriving at ground zero..a place they helped bring down. But that’s another story to tell.
One last word…an Obama appointed judge just slammed Sydney Powell denying her, her day in court along with a substantial fine for even filing. That judge needs to be impeached. Immediately. Any of you out there who understand the Judicial review and removal system need to speak up and help her out. File the paperwork.
We may need to do a little more than “impeach.” There are too many corrupt judges to believe we can get anything done through the court system. I think it’s about time we start saving our country before it’s too late.
I was in my car on my way home from work. Had the local sports channel on the radio and the host broke the news that a plane had flown into one of the towers. No details and he mused maybe a light plane or helicopter accident.
Got home and turned on the tv and then it all got worse. Two of our family friends were in NYC that day and in the towers. One at a conference and the other worked there. Both amazingly got out safely, thankfully.
The young lady who worked there was in the second tower-not sure what floor, but up quite far- to be hit. She had just gotten to her office, changed her shoes into flip flops (which apparently she wore during the day, lol) and she opened the blinds on her office window. She saw all kinds of debris flying around and tried to get some info on what it was. She found out there was a plane accident that had damaged the other tower, but again little detail.
She told us she was getting a gut sense there was more to it and she made the decision to go down and out to see what was going on. That saved her life because the second tower-her tower- was hit as she was getting out the door on the street level. She said she just kept going, running away from the buildings. She was unable to contact her family for hours but when she did she was safely across the river into NJ where she lived. She had gotten to a ferry and was able to get across eventually. Unbelievable how she was saved.
Our other friend was on a lower floor in that second tower and they were escorted out and to safety, but she was traumatized for years over what she saw when they came out of the building. I never asked for details, but she once said there were human remains on the ground that they had to walk past to get away from the buildings.
Terrible trauma for all Americans that day. We did change and it still is being felt today.
I was asleep, having worked night shift the night before. I woke up to a breathless phone message from a college friend of mine (who is a liberal BTW) saying “They’re flying planes into buildings in New York!” Turned on the TV and saw the carnage.
I was living in Newfoundland, Canada, when the attack happened-to this day I will never forget my horror watching the entire attack transpire. Newfoundland residents took in many global travelers after Canada and the US shut down their airspace. I will never forget and will never forgive the hateful ideology that inspired the murdering savages.
Virtually every car on the road displayed an American flag for days beginning on 9/11/2001. There are dark forces which have divided us since. Our challenge, and, yes, OBLIGATION, is to crush that which seeks to destroy that spirit we witnessed beginning on that fateful day.
Now we are terrorists if we display patriotism.
We were vacationing on the Island of Kwai, in Hawaii. I walked through the hotel lobby and noticed people crowded around a television. I thought little of this. I walked to our rental car, out in the parking lot, and noticed a flag a half at half mast. My first thought was that Dick Cheney had died of a heart attack (yeah, that’s what I thought).
We spent the rest of the day glued to the TV. It was maddening and surreal.
Naw, I’m cool greasing Ragbags for it.
I’ve never been a big believer in The Great Cosmic Jewelry Banking Conspiracy.
We were on the way to the hospital that morning. My wife was having gall bladder surgery that day. The first plane hit before we got there, and after checking in, I sat in the surgery waiting room watching everything on television.
Oh, those peace-loving Muslims!
As the result of this attack. We spent 20 years in Afghanistan, spent trillions and trillions of money that we don’t have. We sent our young men and women there to die and injury for a war that we have no idea how achieve victory. Lessons were never learnt that we can’t force our ideology upon other nation who has no interest in this ideology.
As the result we folded to the enemy Taliban at unprecedented speed that makes Dunkirk seem organize, against a bunch of thugs on horse back few weeks ago. We handover to these thugs billions of modern military equipment that qualifies them as the best equipped army in the region.
Adding to the injury that now the Chinese will takeover the best airport in Afghanistan that we spent billions to build.
Knowing what we know now, we should just keep bombing Afghanistan in 2001 until Taliban handover OBL but never step foot in that G-ddamn country.
Knowing what we know now, we should have rounded up the Bush family, Hayden, Brennan, Rice, both Clintons, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Kissinger, Bandar Bush, Bin Laden, the top brass at the Pakistan ISI, Robert Mueller, John Bolton. and probably their 1,000 closest associates.
Allegedly on our behalf, more than 40,000 people have been killed in the Middle East by our forces in the last 20 years, including many children
Biden droning an entire innocent family and claiming it was ISIS is the epitome of how this narrative has been run for three decades.
Were the hijackers aware their primary purpose was to destroy the US? Yes. Were they pawns? Yes. Did they understand that the real mechanism of destruction was to have the destruction of the towers lead to building the national security surveillance state, first in the middle east and then turned inward on us here, to help end the Constitutional Republic of the United States of America?
No.
After the first frantic phone calls, my strongest memory is the weeks of empty skies. Then it was less than six months until the war drums started for the invasion of Iraq. For some reason I could see that narrative being shaped by smoke and mirrors, Hillary Clinton joining right in was mostly what allowedme to cut through the bs. Whatever brainwashing was supposed to be working, didn’t.
So I was completely taken in by Obama. I could see the evil of the Bushes, I could see the evil of the Clintons. I had no idea that Obama was just the next course being served up to the gullible. He wouldn’t have voted to invade Iraq, he said. I bought the illusion.
The last couple of years has dropped the scales off my eyes.
Justice is way, way, way overdue.
^^^^ Indeed, way overdue. As some refer to them – globalist scum.
