OPINION: 9/11 Gave Us the “War on Terrorism” Racket

October 2, 2026 Jacob G. Hornberger

With the sudden and unexpected collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War in 1989–1991, the U.S. national-security establishment went into a full-blown panic. For some 45 years, the Cold War had been the most lucrative racket in U.S. history. “The Reds are coming!” By inculcating the fear that the commies … Read more

Why Did Islamists Attack America? What did we learn?

September 9, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Why did Islamists attack America on September 11, 2001? They did not do it because they were poor and hopeless. These terrorists were all either from wealthy or middle-class Arab families. The attack on America came from a belief in Islam and their hatred for America.

The Myth of War on Terror

March 23, 2020 Amil Imani

Since the tragic events of 9-11-2001, tens of thousands of books and articles have been written about this enigmatic ideology: Islam.

There have been too many definitions by Islamic scholars of exactly what Islam means.

“Workplace Violence”? Nope – more like treason now for Major Hasan

This was the US Army Major Nidal Hasan that killed 13 of his fellow soldiers back in 2009. Even as he was screaming “Allahu Ahkbar” (God is Great) – the Islamic battle cry while he was pulling the trigger in that “gun free” zone (yes, on a military base), the Obama Administration decided to be Political Correct / Islam Friendly and merely call it “workplace violence” as it was just another incident at the local Post Office.

So what do you call it when a uniformed member of our Armed Services says this under oath in a courtroom? KDHS News (emphasis mine, reformatted):

FORT HOOD — Accused Fort Hood shooter Maj. Nidal Hasan told a military court Tuesday he was defending the Taliban during the 2009 mass shooting on post…Hasan said he was defending “the leadership of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, the Taliban.”

…Tuesday’s statements confirmed what Addicott had long thought. “Hasan has declared himself an enemy combatant in league with the Taliban,” he said.

Which makes a mockery of the Obama’s lie of workforce violence. When the defendant himself has sided with the enemy of the United States, uniform and fealty oath to the Constitution obviously not withstanding, this is an attack on our sovereign soil by Islamic militants.

Tolerance?

Email Doodlings – A rose by any other name

From my friend (and loyal reader) out in ~~Chicago~~ Dayton, Ohio land:

Skip – I realize things get a little fast and loose, but this has been bothering me. Both the Benghazi incident, and the movie theater shooting in Colorado were acts-of-terror.What makes Benghazi a terrorist act was that is was planned out by a group of people.

To compare the two incidents shows a poor grasp of what actually happened.

I had another take on it:
