I think this is an excellent take by Sean Davis of the Federalist. Was 9/11 the catalyst of the Police State of America? I think he makes a compelling case that it was. 9/11 allowed the Bushies to dupe us into Forever War (Iraq) and give sweeping, unprecedented powers to the “intelligence community” to spy on Americans … of course, those powers are now being used to stifle political dissent.
The debacle in Iraq led to the Obama Regime, a “Manchurian candidate” who filled the federal government with America-hating Socialists like himself.
Equally vital as a catalyst, in my opinion, was 2016. Powerful people IN BOTH PARTIES refused to accept Donald Trump as President. They conducted an ongoing soft coup until 2020 when they obviously RIGGED the election … which de facto gave Obama a third term. The federal judiciary and the federal agencies are, once again, being filled with America-hating Socialists.
In hindsight, 9/11 looks like it might have been the beginning of the end of the American empire.
It spawned the worst and most destructive foreign policy in the country’s history. The government response to 9/11 birthed the constitutional abomination that is the modern…
