Anger and hatred after 9/11 is what led us down this spiral

9/11 merely silenced the critics, allowing the power elite to bum rush the Constitution, aka the Shock Doctrine. Panopticon has always been the plan. There's always a plan, waiting for the opportunity.



It inspired people who knew better to compromise on their beliefs about freedom and torture and rule of law, and we've been paying for it ever since.


And it scared those who didn't know better into not asking themselves the tough questions required to become one who does know better.
