9/11 Was Just the Beginning...

How the Aftermath of 9/11 Revealed the Truth about Our Country's Leaders and Their Anti-American Agenda

9/11 was just the beginning…

It’s hard to believe that there are now adults who have absolutely no memory of 9/11 or of the world as it was before that infamous day. Even for those of us who remember where we were and what we were doing when we first heard the news, it can be difficult to really remember the pre-9/11 zeitgeist: that post-Cold War ennui, the American empire being, at the time, like a middle-aged man who had climbed the corporate ladder through ruthlessly Machiavellian office politics but who, once he had made it to the top, found himself bored with his own success.

For a very short time, the events of September 11th awakened America from her post-Modern slumbers. We weren’t just living for the next quarterly-earnings report to show that the latest round of layoffs had raised profits and boosted stock prices by another few cents. There was more to life than mindless entertainment and entropy. Our civilization was faced with an existential crisis, and Americans were suddenly on the front lines of this epic battle.

9/11 brought a powerful feeling of unity and purpose that had not been felt in America for a very long time. We were all in this together. There was no banker class on Wall Street vs rust-belt factory workers, no black vs white, no city slicker vs rural rube: we were all Americans, and we all could relate to each other, as Americans, that day.

But…as everyone now knows, that unity did not last.
