Timothy Snyder: "The basic American policy response to 9/11 should have been to liberate ourselves from fossil fuels. Without our dependence on oil, we would never have been entangled in the Middle East in the first place. Most of the 9/11 terrorists were Saudis, citizens of an oil kingdom that we helped to build, our “ally.”

"In the years following 2001, the idea that the fight against terrorism must be carried out using militarized and exceptional measures became the norm globally. This occurred because other countries, such as Russia, China, and Israel, found in this counterterrorism framework an opportunity to legitimize their actions against internal and external enemies."

@paulemetz.bsky.social Niet van de VS. Hij heeft wel een zaak aangespannen tegen Canada, omdat de Canadese inlichtingendiensten destijds foutieve informatie zouden hebben verstrekt die heeft geleid tot zijn arrestatie en marteling. Die zaak loopt nog geloof ik.

"Mohamedou Ould Slahi (55) zat 14 jaar vast in Guantánamo Bay zonder formele aanklacht of beschuldiging. De brieven van en naar zijn familie in Mauritanië hielden hem op de been. [...]
Hoe pak je je leven weer op na 14 jaar gevangenschap, na marteling, het verlies van je moeder, na jaren waarin alles onzeker was? Het lukte hem door iets belangrijks te doen, iets wat zijn geloof hem leerde: door te vergeven. Zelfs zijn agressors in de gevangenis."https://www.groene.nl/artikel/met-geduld-en-hoop #WarOnTerror #Guantánamo

How the U.S. government built a huge and hidden anti-terror apparatus after the 9/11 attacks.
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Dana Priest investigated the growth of a massive maze of clandestine government and private agencies aimed at fighting terrorism after the 9/11 attacks.
Secret efforts included a covert international war waged by the CIA that included drone strikes, black site prisons, and “enhanced interrogation techniques” widely criticized as torture; a domestic surveillance program that authorized the NSA to intercept certain telephone calls and emails of American citizens without a warrant; and other anti-terror programs.
This documentary shed new light on the nature, scale and scope of the government’s counter-terror operations after 9/11 — and explored mounting questions about those programs’ effectiveness.
In the run-up to the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, Frontline is making a number of seminal documentaries from the days and years after 9/11 available to stream on YouTube for the first time. These documentaries offer a profound historical record of the attacks, what led up to them, the U.S. government's response, and the ripple effects across the U.S. and the world.

"De oorlog tegen terreur wordt inmiddels door de VS zo ruim geïnterpreteerd dat nu zelfs vermeende drugssmokkelaars, door de regering-Trump ‘narco-terroristen’ genoemd, op zee worden opgeblazen.
Cuba, samen met Iran en Noord-Korea op de Amerikaanse lijst van ‘staten die terreur steunen’, wordt volledig afgeknepen. In zekere zin is de oorlog ook ‘thuis’ gekomen.

After 9/11, America had chances to build real peace in Afghanistan. But old habits die hard. We made deals with the wrong warlords. Ignored the right tribes. Made promises we wouldn't keep.

Storm smuggled European women to Yemen as jihadi brides. Later saved one from the same fate. The spy game has no clean hands. Only necessary evils in dark places.

May I suggest to UK Labour that this would be another good case for the application of anti-terror laws? We can't have people taking direct action to clean up the waterways! Public order is the highest good!!!

All the problem with privacy #SocialmediaBan and #bigtech and #Biotech overreach are secondary effects of the false narrative of the #WarOnTerror since #WTC7 was demolished without a decoy Boeing 767 Sept18 2001 #amerithrax attack on Congress and the Press and the #patriotact passed quickly Oct 26th,
#Snowden escaped to Moscow
2012-2014 Russia NATO proxy wars Syria and UkraineUnited Airlines Flight 93 reportedly downed or crashed over Pennsylvania, the false narrative (false memory or #massformationpsychosis war #propaganda)
United Airlines Flight 93, which crashed in Pennsylvania during the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.
The following is the detailed information
Background and course of the core event
On September 11, 2001, 19 terrorists from al-Qaeda hijacked four domestic civil airliners in the United States. Among them, United Airlines Flight 93 was the last one to take off.
The basic itinerary: This flight was originally scheduled to fly from Newark International Airport in New Jersey to San Francisco International Airport. After being delayed, it took off at 8:42 a.m. There were a total of 37 passengers and 7 crew members on board, including 4 hijackers.
Hijacking and Resistance: About 46 minutes after takeoff, the hijackers took control of the plane and steered it towards Washington D.C. The target was most likely the United States Capitol or the White House. Passengers and crew members on board learned about the attack on the World Trade Center through their mobile phones. After identifying the fatal target on the plane's course, they collectively decided to launch a resistance to regain control of the aircraft.
Crash result: During the resistance, the plane crashed into a rural field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania at 10:03 a.m. local time. All 44 people on board were killed. At that time, the plane had only 18 minutes left to fly to Washington D.C. It was also the only one among the four hijacked planes that did not reach the intended target of the terrorists' attack. -
The War on Terror, how it served as a training camp for radical right-wing extremist terrorists, and how it’s expansion of executive powers were used to cover it up.
Under Trump II, the exceptions blocking service for these types have further been eroded.

Ukrainian soldiers fought side-by-side with USA in Afghanistan, even without being a member of NATO, not bound by Article 5.
Nobody looked at USA over their noses because their crime rate was high and they had school shootings, and figured they weren’t worth the help for it.
