AMERICA AFTER 9/11: THE TERRORISTS WON

AMERICA AFTER 9/11: THE TERRORISTS WON
In September 11, 2001, terrorists flew planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Hours later, more than 2,900 people were dead, the overwhelming majority of them in the civilian office buildings at New York's World Trade Center.
Within 24 hours, the US government was doing what it does best. It demanded more power, and set to work coming up with schemes for using its enormous military and national security apparatus — a group of agencies which had received more than half-a-trillion dollars during that fiscal year.
When the US national security state failed on 9/11, not a single person with any significant level of responsibility lost his job.

They may not have gotten the ball rolling, but they gave it a good push so it would pick up speed.

I remember traveling by plane in 2011. The line for security was long. TSA was picking passengers to be randomly searched. Shady characters went through the line freely while 90 year old grannies got frisked. I was told that they were trying to avoid the appearance of racial profiling.

Someone figured out how to buy a championship. Just pay off all our elected officials to look the other way. Who has that kind of wealth? The people who sponsored the 9/11 attacks in the first place

Who has that kind of wealth?
The question is how the 9/11 attack would forward such an objective.
I've always said big money substantially short-the-market on 9/10 should have been intensely scrutinized. W had painfully little interest in pursuing that. Someone like Trump (or JFK) would have been all over it.
