I’m assuming that it’ll be some property of Trump’s that has recently had its insurance significantly bumped.
Trump gets his excuse and the insurance payout and his rabid supporters get further evidence of his exceptionalism.

Yes. Not only that, but to pave the way for Trumps third, fourth, eight terms, and a sweeping presidential powers bill to coast through Congress that makes Patriot Act look like the Bill of Rights.

It’s really sad - back on 9/11, I thought “That’s horrible! What kind of evil country could hate us so much they’d want to attack our civilians!?”
Now, if another 9/11 happens, I may just shrug and think “…Yeah…we’re America. We deserve it.”

I’m pretty sure Americans are gobbling up the media narrative of “Iran has nukes and the girls aren’t educated”
AlteredEgo@lemmy.ml 3 hours ago
Something like 70% of gradates in STEM fields in Iran are women. Their economy can’t absorb the skilled labors because of the sanctions though, but that is their goal: To hinder democracy and a middle class that wouldn’t want to sell out to the west. What the US and Israel is doing is meant to do the opposite of what leftists want for Iran. And war is certainly not going to make any of this better.

I don’t know why they’re trying to push this narrative that Iran having nuclear weapons is somehow more bad for Western society than, for example, North Korea having nuclear weapons.
They’re acting as if no hostile power has ever had nuclear weapons before.

TranscendentalEmpire@lemmy.today 14 hours ago
Meh, I don’t think there’s a need for conspiracy for 9/11 to be a legitimate terrorist attack. It gives too much credit to Bush and his ilk and down plays the political blowback of the US’s interventional history in the Middle East.
The term “never let a good crisis go to waste” has been around for a while.
Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 13 hours ago
Just as a random btw:
wiki/The_Lone_Gunmen_(TV_series)In the pilot episode, which aired March 4, 2001 (exactly six months and one week prior to the September 11 attacks[5]), rogue members of the U.S. government remotely hijack an airliner flying to Boston, planning to crash it into the World Trade Center, and let anti-American terrorist groups take credit, to gain support for a profitable new war following the Cold War. The heroes ultimately override the controls, foiling the plot.
kingofras@lemmy.world 10 hours ago
Your assumptions preventing from giving this serious consideration:
- Bush or Americans were behind 9/11
- there has been any blowback for any of the staged military conflicts since WWII?
I’ll put the TLDR here: 911 was a brazen cascade foreign intelligence agency assault on the United States. The president and the cabinet were made aware of the impending attack. The attack A three stage attack comprising of wtc pentagon and the capitol. The demand was to start wars and at least outlined by Netanyahu in previous months and years in front of the UN security council. First Afghanistan, then Iraq then Syria than Lebanon and Iran. After each attack occurred to stop the other planes or let them reach their destination.
Most likely the US was also told that these were Arabs doing this, And that this foreign intelligence agency could stop them at any moment if they agreed to their terms.
Every year since 911, With every action on every front and the Middle East, including the genocide and the US backed insurgency of Syria, one can see this plan come to fruition.
Consider:
- US has been a nuclear superpower since 1944.
- The USA did not just win WWII, And performed a military annexation of mainland Europe. This meant that the most free thinking and democratic part of the world will always think twice before criticising their ‘ally’
- If you’re a massive country but not US aligned, how do you military strategise against that? China, Russia, India, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, not to mention the some off the other allies would all have made various attempts and some successful to infiltrate the country they can’t attack without risking the end of the world. You think they sat still for half a century? The US is an active culture ending threat if you’re not aligned with them.
- middle eastern policy has been dictated by a zionist death cult for decades if not centuries. They are very well funded, highly intelligent and organised and have their own spooks that can make any assassination look like an accident.
- for the longest time, the most common used method of an oppressor or aggressor is to either attack itself and pin the blame on the soon to be enemy, or to annoy the enemy enough and pester and poke them until they October 7 you (still make sure all border guards are down so they can do it unhindered)
- a bunch of barely trained pilots fly 4 airliners directly to their destination, perfectly synchronised all within the same couple of hours in the most heavily guarded airspaces in the world and with the most sophisticated airliners…
- the military just happens to be doing anti hijacking drills at the exact time of events
- 3 massive steel structure buildings collaping at near freefall speed (1, 2 and 7)
- the impact ring of the pentagon being enforced just months prior to the
missileplane hitting it. - no cctv footage of the plane hitting pentagon released till this day, bar a couple of video frames from one angle
- Sec Def announcement the day before that 2 trillion dollars of the military budget went missing
- the massive amount of quick actions that followed in the fog of war in the hours and days later, how and why wtc7 was brought down, why the steel was shipped to China without investigation
Your take is fine if you only briefly glance at it. Spend any more than 30 minutes on it and you’ll understand why we live in a clickbait, fast news distraction meme culture.
Understanding 9/11 is how I understand US foreign policy ever since. We’re living in Animal Farm, and the world has let the world’s bully do what it did out of gratitude for WWII and because you keep your worst enemy closer than your friends.
IndiBrony@lemmy.world 14 hours ago
Inside job gives them too much credit, imo.
Fact is they already knew about Bin Laden and simply decided “you know, what if we just turned around for a second and, well, if something were to happen…?”
And to do that? A tiny budget cut here, a little policy shift there, and… kaboom!
Not so much that they planned anything themselves regarding the attack, they just lowered their guard enough to let it happen.
Meron35@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
The CIA produced many briefs for Bush warning about Bin Laden in 2001 before the actual attacks. Bush did not take any of these seriously, as summarised by one of his now infamous response “All right. You’ve covered your ass.”

My current bet is on a widespread organized mass assassination attempt on multiple lawmakers. Hit them all at the same time, so their security can’t see the pattern and put them under protection before they’re killed. Off a bunch of democrats, then use the ensuing chaos to seize control and “postpone” the midterms.

Why does Trump need an actual terrorist attack. He can just show up on TV, flash an AI generated face-melting re-edit of a scene from the TV show 24, announce “We are under attack and must respond immediately”, and fire up the bombers.
At this point, I bet you that you could show Trump a deep fried still-image meme and convince him that we need to strike back.

That’s why right wing social media is going had on making Iran the bad guys and evil.
So even though they don’t want war and are currently complaining about the thought of it, they’ll bend over for it in short time.
The mental gymnastics will be amazing.
Gotta save money. Government needs to cut everything including any social care. But also needs to spend more on deporting babies with cancer.
And you know moving an expeditionary force around the world isn’t cheap either.
