“We have intercepted electronic communication indicating that al-Qaeda members are actively plotting to stay out of the way while America as we know it gradually crumbles under the weight of its own self-inflicted debt and disrepair,” FBI Deputy Director Mark F. Giuliano told the assembled press corps. “If this plan succeeds, it will leave behind a nation with a completely dysfunctional economy, collapsing infrastructure, and a catastrophic health crisis afflicting millions across the nation. We want to emphasize that this danger is very real.”
I don’t know how much Democrats were into it vs how much they were pussies and afraid of looking weak on defense so they went along with the fuckery
Part of the problem was that we Americans are massive pussies in general, and we were all scared shitless after the attack and Republicans exploited that perfectly to divide and conquer us.
I remember the coverage after 9/11 and it was just fear mongering 24/7 and any overreach was just accepted as necessary. No-one really pushed back because everyone was afraid of being called un-American.
The democrats are just as paid off and bribed as the republicans. There’s not a war they don’t love. They pretended to be against bush’s adventures because they play a facade of team sports. They’re on the same team in reality - that of imperialism.
