THE D'OH! HEARD 'ROUND THE WORLD
(Originally posted November 13, 2016.)
Using manufactured hysteria following 9/11 Congress began an insidious
expansion of Executive Branch powers. Add that to the very long list of
horribleness resulting from the fanciful Pogrom Against Bad People begun
under W.
Trump now has more power than any one man has ever had or should have.

There was only one voice of reason among our "representatives" following 9/11. I
find it amusing when I hear things like, "well, everyone agreed, was
afraid, believed the intelligence, etc." Many on the left, in the
streets, and on progressive websites knew the military response to 9/11
was bullshit and only served the Military Industrial Complex, and all
those who profit from it. I remember being against a military response
even in Afghanistan. Without knowing anything specific I knew 9/11 was a
crime not an act of war. And even in 2003 it was obvious Iraq had
nothing to do with 9/11.

The voices for reason after 9/11 were not simply marginalized but demonized outright. The sad thing is there are still so many who don't acknowledge, or refuse to see how right the dissenters were then and now.
