The Continued Success of Terrorism

While the 9/11 attacks on the twin towers of the World Trade Center in downtown Manhattan certainly were a blow to the United States, recovering from that one fatal event was possible. As with any death-related occurrence the intense bereavement process is the most challenging obstacle. Thousands of family members must grapple with the long term ramifications of a seemingly unprovoked terrorist event. Dealt with as a continuum finding closure for the loss of one’s loved ones is first. The scope and breadth of the politics of the event are too great to expect closure soon. Still the United States has not been effective providing relief to the victims of the crime. Conversely the desires of the terrorists have been met continuously with almost methodical calculation. It must be speculated that a president’s expanded wartime powers are appealing. Nothing else in the constitution grants a sitting president the privileges offered in this wartime scenario. These privileges coupled with other unconstitutional actions in the Bush administration must be considered in speculation of a conspiracy theory. Interpreted even broadly these legislative decisions easily define the nature of a Totalitarian political regime. It is described as thus:

Totalitarianism (or totalitarian rule) is a concept used to describe a political system where a state regulates nearly every aspect of public and private life. Totalitarian regimes or movements maintain themselves in political power by means of an official all-embracing ideology and propaganda disseminated through the state-controlled mass media single party that controls the state, personality cults, central state-controlled economy, regulation and restriction of free discussion and criticism, the use of mass surveillance, and widespread use of terror tactics.

FBI and CIA-like activities in the aftermath of 9/11 such as warrantless wiretapping, political detainment, monitoring of internet usage and bank/credit activity, and reading of E-Mails coupled with the decline of antitrust legislation, deregulation of major industries, and monopolization of the media suggest a conspiracy. Even with liberal scope it would be hard not to suggest something is amiss in America. The majority of these activities are at the expense of the 9/11 attacks, and that is not providing closure to thousands of Americans. In addition the exorbitant expense of the continued wars in Afghanistan and Iraq contributing greatly to the decline in value of the American dollar, a staggering economy, and failed domestic policy pale in comparison to the satirical rise in the price of petroleum. The mass genocide of 9/11 was only a minute part of the terrorist strategy to incapacitate the world’s greatest superpower. The American response has done nothing but play directly into the hands of the purveyors of 9/11 which are middle eastern oil interests. Our military is overextended and our home front is exposed. While there may not have been another domestic terrorist event since 2001, the time quickly is drawing near for the utter collapse of the nation. Isn’t this what the terrorists had in mind?
