9/11 Was Bad, But It Wasn't QAnoners Wandering Around The Capitol For A Few Hours Bad

"So that settles it, then: QAnoners meandering around a government building is far, far worse than thousands of people being killed in fiery explosions."
"It's a good thing we've got such sane, level-headed people on such prominent platforms instructing us
on how to think about important events, because otherwise this perspective might never have even occurred to us." Image
"So now that we've cleared that up, let's not let 9/11 stop us from screaming about 1/6 for all eternity, as loud as our lungs will allow. It's important we remain rational here."

If the US empire ran out of excuses to use and test its extremely profitable military arsenal on impoverished foreigners it would simply invent more excuses.
It's hard to wrap your mind around, because it's so much more profoundly evil than we're taught to anticipate, but it really is an objective fact that people who make money manufacturing war weapons have an tremendous amount of influence over how and when those weapons are used.
It's exactly the same as murdering human beings at mass scale and selling their organs for a tremendous profit, except nobody benefits from their deaths besides those people who sell the murder weapons. And it's deemed perfectly reasonable and acceptable.

Twenty Years Of Phony Tears About 9/11

"Compared to the horrors the United States unleashed upon the world under the justification of 9/11, 9/11 itself was a family trip to Disneyland."

Twenty Years Of Phony Tears About 9/11

"The death and destruction visited upon Iraq alone dwarfs the 2,977 people killed on 9/11 by orders of magnitude; hell, this was true of the death and destruction the US had been inflicting on Iraq even before 9/11."

"This nation which has spent twenty years weeping about its victimization with Bambi-eyed innocence reacted to 9/11 with wars which killed millions and displaced tens of millions and ushered in an unprecedented new era of military expansionism"

Australia has no bill of rights of any kind. Most people are unaware of this, including most Australians. What you're seeing in Australia is simply what happens when you add a pandemic response on top of a nation with no foundational legal protection from government overreach.
And some of the most controversial measures you're seeing now have nothing to do with Covid. This one for example is just a continuation of a systematic erosion of privacy and human rights by police and intel agencies that's been going on for years.
Australia is a strange case. Westerners assume it's a "free country" because it's a wealthy nation with liberal cultural values whose population is English-speaking and mostly white, but it's simply not.

Pundits and politicians created a viral trend claiming grainy photos showed the Taliban executing a man by hanging from a Black Hawk helicopter. The trend got tens of thousands of shares at minimum. Video footage makes it abundantly clear that's not what's happening here.
Hi everyone, welcome to my "execution"!
As often happens, @MoonofA called this early.

Warmongers Keep Raging About The Phrase 'Ending The Forever Wars' And We Should Laugh At Them

"They're literally using that phrase, 'ending the forever wars', and then saying it's a bad thing. I mean, what a bizarre hill to die on."

Warmongers Keep Raging About The Phrase 'Ending The Forever Wars' And We Should Laugh At Them

"They're standing there right in front of us and wagging their fingers at us for opposing something as straightforwardly and self-evidently bad as endless war."

Influential promoters of western militarism have been fuming about the popular idea of ending the forever wars, and their tantrums are not even trying to disguise it as something else. They're literally using that phrase, "ending the forever wars", and saying it's a bad thing.

The US knew the Kabul attack was coming and the Pentagon refuses to say what ISIS members it killed in its drone strike and the CIA is demolishing its own bases in Afghanistan and many of Thursday's victims were likely killed by US/allied guns, but don't be a conspiracy theorist.
