Yes, he’s profane, and yes, he’s a screamer…but the man is talking sense. Ten years after 9.11, we’re still obsessing over it as if America has the corner on the market when it comes to tragedy.
Ten years on, and 9.11 has been reduced to a metaphor, a symbol to be used and abused by anyone with an agenda and/or the need and desire to sow fear and manipulate the American Sheeple.
I’m not a big fan of the volume or the profanity in this video, but the message is something I think America needs to hear. We’ve allowed our government and politicians to hold up 9.11 whenever it suits their purpose. The true meaning of the event, whatever that might once have been, has long since been lost to the manipulation, the propaganda, and the fear sown by those who profit from those things.
Fifty-six million people, give or take, die every year. Their loved ones grieve their passing and then get on with their lives…because what else can they do? Three thousand people died on 9.11, and we’re still holding them up as martyrs. It’s as if their deaths have become propaganda/talking points for politicians and our government to use to advance their agendas and achieve their ends. It’s no longer even about what happened on 9.11. It’s about the symbolism and about what those with something to gain employ those symbols for. It’s about fear, propaganda, and partisanship.
Isn’t it about time we accepted the reality of 9.11, stopped living in fear, and stopped allowing the media and politicians to use 9.11 for their own self-aggrandizement?
