"What Really Happened on September 11th, 2001

One thing everyone can agree on—from diehard Fox News Faithful to dedicated Infowaris that September 11th, 2001 is a day that changed the world forever. I am of the opinion that all of these people are full of shit and engaged in a circle jerk of mutual delusion. That is offensive language, but I mean it with all of my heart. I would like you to know that I have spent five months working on this article. I am not blowing off steam or throwing a tantrum. I am of the opinion that both sides of the 9/11 debate are full of shit, and here is why: Initiates—

On September 11th, 2001, over 30,000 children around the world died of starvation. Every single day since September 11th, 2001, over 30,000 children around the world have died of starvation.

This is of course a shocking number. The mind insists that it must be exaggerated, distorted, wrong. It is shocking any way you can state it: every 2.4 seconds, a child dies of starvation on planet Earth. Is that any more palatable or less insane? Does it change everything if I say that when you finish reading this article 3-5 minutes from now, somewhere between 70 and 200 children, somewhere on Earth right now, are going to cease living before they even had a chance to find out what “New York City” was?

Doing the math, that means as of today—-- over the past 5 years, while millions of mostly white and middle to upper class human beings with internet connections engaged in arguments about the minute details of a terrorist attack that occured in the United States on September 11th, over 60 million children have died. Because of starvation. I had breakfast today, how about you?"

What really changed?

Our daily lives?

For most of us - no.

For those affected by that day…. I can only guess at their pain.

For those with family and friends currently in Iraq and Afghanistan……I can only imagine the worry. For those who have LOST family and friends in Iraq and Afghanistan….again, I can only imagine.

The terrorist agenda? Has that changed? No…..but they scored a big point didn’t they. First hit on US soil..and it was a doozy. No one will ever forget how they felt that day. No one will forget how horrified they were.

That is a given.

That the people behind it are monsters.

That is also a given.

Whatever ‘theory’ you currently follow….the horror is a given.

Has the political agenda changed – I doubt it.

Has our perception changed?

I think we have been TOLD what to perceive. What to think.

I think we think the world has changed….but really…..

The horror goes on.

No matter how many rock concerts you do…….death and devastation continues across our globe.
