I was in a class when it happened and everyone stopped to watch it. Bizarre.
i was 4 years old and my dad was listening to the news on radio in northern pakistan. my dad was concerned about the consequences… he knew his business will be effected which depended on western tourism in the karakoram mountains. remember it like yesterday
Republicans FBI and CIA and Politicians, with Israel Mossad, did the carrot game to lead them to do 911, and everything else was controlled demolitions and military top cleansing and other shows.
Since 1999 FBI and CIA republican affiliated, knew. The Bush family owns a controlled demolition company, and a Denmark scientist said in Denmark television that he found patented Israel explosives on the remaining of the towers.
Memories fade. We still haven't reckoned with our culpability as the reason for the attacks.
Forget what? My $5000 check Trump promised? No way, Jose.
Here's what we know that we didnt know 25yrs ago: Israel knew 9/11 was gonna happen and decided NOT to tell America it was about to go down. Israel knew Americans would go into blood lust for revenge, so they calculated they could steer that lust for revenge towards Iran and get America to invade. 25yrs later it's happened, thus making it clear; Osama won. He's been winning every day since the towers fell.
I was in 6th Grade and heard about what was happening over the radio in class. It wasn't until later that the teachers formally told us what had happened. There was tons of solidarity after 9/11, but we as a society have long since retreated into our corners and turned against each other.
Globally, the War on Terror and other post-9/11 actions have damaged the US reputation. Thanks to Trump, that reputation is further in tatters. We're at a point now where many who showed solidarity with the US after 9/11 likely regret it and feel the US deserved 9/11.
The world will not forget. American and Israeli masterminds behind this attack will answer to the world very soon with their lives for killing of million of people in the name of terrorism. Believe me, the world will not forget them.
I remember like it was yesterday, I am still emotional about it.
