9/11 Many Times Over

Last night, I wrote about the 9/11 attack on the twin Towers in New York, comparing it to Israel's attack on Gaza. Gaza is 9/11 many times over - many times worse.

Both are "terrorism".

But why is Gaza worse? .

Scale

The first point is scale. Only 3000 people, a little fewer, lost their lives on 9/11.

Israel by contrast has killed somewhere between 70,000 and the hundred thousand people in Gaza - not counting the people he has killed in Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Yemen, and now Qatar.

Symbolism

The 9/11 attack was largely symbolic-- focusing on the US's preeminent symbol of power and hegemony, it was carried out with very limited resources and focused on a target whose vulnerabilities the attackers were well aware of after their attempted bombing in 1993. The World Trade Towers were built in 1960 standards-- but a lot of things had changed.

Still, the hijackers could not have expected the towers to collapse in the way they did-- which was the result of engineering for a different era.

The replacement for the World Trade Center has been built differently — drawing on the lessons of 9/11. Had the original been engineered in this way, there would've been far fewer casualties, likely only those at the point of impact, the top floors.

But,as I have mentioned. the goal of the "terrorists" was not massive casualties, as occurred due to engineering flaws that could not have been anticipated, but rather a message of defiance - the symbolism of an airliner crashing into the top floors.

This was not an act of war as much as it was a declaration of another people's desire to throw off the yoke of neocolonial control.

Palestine had shown that protests and banners get you nowhere - and negotiations lead to further oppression. I am not trying to justify terrorism, bombings, killings and the like-- nor the toxic ideology of groups like Al Qaeda, which had been nurtured by the US. But looking at things objectively you can see the logic.

Racism cum Exceptionalism

In the case of Israel, you have racism cum exceptionalism writ large. Zionism is an evolutionary branch of Nazi-ism, which itself evolved not just from European fascist tradition but from the implicitly fascist, exceptionalist traditions of English imperialism and colonialism--it's a bastard, a genetic monster.

So it's aim is like that of Hitler's for the Russians - kill anyone who will not dutifully serve you as a subhuman slave.

Therefore, the Zionist aim in Gaza is to kill as many people as possible, and get rid of most of the rest, except for a few to use as slaves or servants. That's genocide writ large.

Israel against the world

Israel's recent attack on Qatar tells us a couple of things. It was obviously carried out with American compliance because Qatar's Patriot batteries were turned off by their American operators.

Hamas had already agreed to Trump's terms!

Did Trump know? Maybe. Maybe not. He doesn't seem to know much most of the time. Sometimes the tail wags the dog. Sometimes the dog wags the tail. Who knows?

The strike tells Hamas that surrender is not a possibility. They would just be killed if they tried. How many Palestinians carrying white flags have the Israelis murdered already? Do you think that an army that regularly guns down little children and pregnant women would honor a "surrender".

And what would Israel do with those who surrender if they didn't want to kill them? My guess is camps like Buchenwald. Or maybe forced labor in the desert where half of them would die.

Some Americans and Brits and Europeans blame Judaism . This is not Judaism - it is Nazi-ism-- or if you like, Americanism. It is not about Jews - it is about Americans. It is not about race or ethnicity — but ideology, which is what Americanism is - a neoFascist supremicist ideology.

The fight must go on

So Hamas must fight on. And Yemen too. And Hezbollah. And Iran. In all those with decency and honor.

Zionism is in some respects more evil than Nazi-ism because it's American roots make it a bigger threat to all of humanity.

But no matter how you look at, things will not end well. Not for anyone.

Coffeeinstead of Substack Paid Subscriptions

Substack doesn't allow me paid subscriptions due to some API error on their part. But there is no benefit to you anyway. Buy me coffee at www.buymecoffee.com.

The author makes many good points, but seems to believe that a foreign entity caused 9/11. I thought everyone knew by now that that was an inside job.

ReRan - the term "everyone" is subjective in context, but consensus is forming the whole 9/11 fiasco was pre-planned exercise conducted by some harmful entities who think they rule the world - and oh how wrong they are - cause it is known the story of this is propaganda and there remain some of principle who demand justice and Dick Cheney is still alive is he not - that mother fucker has some questions to answer - and there is no hiding out - even in Wyoming you piece of shit - Rumsfeld is dead so odds are won't get much info from that entity - but there are other sources of info out there - I heard there may be somebody painting pictures in West Texas Odessa area knows what went down - while he was sitting there with the kindergarten kids....

What a clusterfuck it all is.....eff em.

In support of this sentiment from the "ai" directly:

Tucker Carlson 9/11 Interview Tucker Carlson interviewed former Congressman Curt Weldon, a former firefighter and fire chief, in an episode titled “It’s Time to Finally Tell the Truth About 9-11,” which premiered on April 14, 2025. Weldon, who represented Pennsylvania in Congress from 1987 to 2007, served as Vice Chair of the Armed Services and Homeland Security Committees and was a founding member of the Fire, EMS, and Disaster Relief Caucus, which he chaired for two decades. During the interview, Weldon claimed that the 9/11 Commission’s investigation was a cover-up and that its final report lacks credibility, calling it “a bunch of garbage” and “one-thousand percent a cover up”. He alleged that U.S. intelligence agencies had information that could have prevented the 9/11 attacks but failed to act, and in some cases, actively suppressed warnings. Weldon cited the Able Danger program, which he said had identified Al Qaeda cells, including Mohamed Atta, before the attacks, but was blocked from sharing that intelligence with the FBI. Weldon emphasized his personal connection to 9/11 through his friendship with FDNY Battalion Chief Ray Downey, who died in the collapse of the World Trade Center. He stated that his motivation for seeking the truth stems from his duty to firefighters and first responders. He also referenced the collapse of World Trade Center 7, which was not hit by a plane, suggesting it fell in a manner consistent with controlled demolition, a point echoed in Carlson’s later comments about the lack of investigation and rapid removal of steel from the site. Weldon claimed that two of the 9/11 hijackers were on the CIA payroll and that Osama bin Laden was in Iran, not Afghanistan, during the time U.S. forces were deployed based on the opposite assumption. He also alleged that the FBI raid on his daughter’s home in 2006 was politically motivated, occurring just before his re-election campaign, and implied it was retaliation for his investigations into pre-9/11 intelligence failures. The interview has drawn significant attention, with over 1.7 million views on YouTube shortly after its release, and is part of a broader series Carlson is conducting revisiting unresolved questions about 9/11. Weldon has called for a new, independent investigation into the events of 9/11, asserting that many former officials privately agree the original commission’s findings were incomplete or misleading.

ReRan recall the magician sawing his assistant in half and then watching the appendages of both halves move...

so we all watched planes, on TV , fly into the towers.

large hollow, aluminum tubes, cut through reinforced foot thick interlaced steel trusses, and beams reinforced with concrete - like a hot knife through butter, not one hiccup, no wing, nor tail, nor fuselage deformation.

hmmm ?

Buffalo_Ken · 2025-09-11T22:58:31Z

life - hmmm....in hindsight many can look back and "wish" it didn't happen, but those towers fell and all within basically perished including many trying to rescue them - and it is an everlasting travesty upon the country used to be called the us of a - I mean really - one lie too much is one lie too many and justice takes no prisoners.

So start with Building #7 and then ask yourself - was this an act of "treason" - cause the answer to that is known already by many - and yes it was - the straw likely broke the back of the us of a - never to be what it could of been - but one lie too many is one lie too much and JUSTICE takes no prisoners.

ReRan I’m with you in that he does make some good points but he needs to get his head well and truly out of the sand regarding this…

The 9/11 attack was largely symbolic-- focusing on the US's preeminent symbol of power and hegemony, it was carried out with very limited resources and focused on a target whose vulnerabilities the attackers were well aware of after their attempted bombing in 1993. The World Trade Towers were built in 1960 standards-- but a lot of things had changed.
