Learned, and perhaps more importantly, NOT learned.

What We Never Learned From 9/11
First we learned to love our killers. Then we learned to hate ourselves.

After 19 Muslim terrorists killed nearly 3,000 people in the United States, the most sensible thing would have been to close the borders and keep out the people most likely to carry out attacks.

25 years later and with hundreds more dead and wounded in Islamic terrorist attacks since then, we’ve done the exact opposite and allowed the Muslim population to more than double from 1.8 million to 4.5 million. In New York, the epicenter of the attacks, the insurgent Muslim population shot up from 400,000 to over 700,000 so that New York City is now run by an Islamist politician.

Before 9/11, there had been a handful of Islamic terrorist attacks on American soil. This year alone there were three terror attacks and plots in New York and the summer isn’t even over yet. Multiple mosques in New York City openly preach hatred and terrorism in videos posted to social media and nothing is done since Zohran Mamdani has visited some of those mosques.

Mamdani appointed a lawyer for the 20th 9/11 hijacker who had argued that the terrorists were not driven by evil and that “the legacy of 9/11 ought to be recounted primarily through the stories of Muslims” as New York City’s Chief Counsel. More of the Muslim candidates running for office, like Mamdani, or Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, and Dariazilia Avila Chevalier in New York City “I just wiped my hand on the American flag”, express hostility and contempt towards America.

The political ascension of Islamists who openly despise us reflects our hatred for ourselves.

It’s our peerless brother in arms Dan Greenfield, so naturally you’re gonna want to read it all. And yes, he’s one of ***(((Dem JoJooJooJOOOOOOOZ!!))))***, and as y’all know I don’t give a flying fuck.

For the droolcase contingent: No, 911, was NOT an “inside job,” some kind of typically nebulous, nefarious ***(((Jew)))*** plot pulled off by our own government in collusion with the Evil Empire which controls absolutely the entire fucking universe: Israel (SHRIIIEEEEK!!!). The way things are going, looks like I’m gonna need to repost David Wong’s  (nom de pen for Jason Pardin, it turns out) brilliant, often funny, completely thoroughgoing takedown of stupid-ass 911 conspiracy theorizing every damned year on this date, until it finally soaks into some of the thicker skulls out there.

To wit:

But here’s the thing. The 9/11 “Truth” guys, the Loose Changers and all the many websites, they don’t just think government is corrupt. They think everybody, and I mean everybody, is either evil on a demonic scale, or a mindless sheep.

For instance, how much money would it take to get you to kill 3,000 random, innocent Americans? Or, say you stumbled upon somebody else’s plan to kill 3,000 innocent Americans. How much would it take to get you to stay silent afterward?

A hundred dollars? Two hundred? Two hundred fifty?

Well if the conspiracy guys are right, there are people reading this right now who took that deal. No kidding.

Here’s why. The entire 9/11 “Truth” movement rests on the idea that the World Trade Center towers were rigged with explosives, a “Controlled Demolition” like you see with old buildings. That’s the whole thing. They say the buildings couldn’t have come down otherwise.

Forget the fact that no experts on the subject agree with them. That’s not the point right now. We’re just trying to get inside these guys’ heads.

Now, maybe you could keep the plan itself a secret. A few dozen murderous black ops guys, demolitions experts with a grudge against the USA, maybe they’ve been brainwashed. Who knows. Maybe it could be done. People point out that the Manhattan Project to build the atomic bomb was kept a secret, so why not this?

But the cover-up. Holy shit, guys. Covering this thing up after the fact would be like trying to keep the atomic bomb a secret after Hiroshima. Just wait ’till you hear this.

Yes indeedy. As most of you will well know by now, this long piece stomps the 9/11 Truther crowd flat, right down to the last butt-nugget of wild-eyed batshit lunacy. From the freshly updated (circa 2025) intro to Pop Mech’s likewise-thoroughgoing slicing and dicing of the preposterous Truther nonsense:

More than 20 years later, 9/11 conspiracy theories linger on. In the years following the report of this publication, truthers would launch of variety of attacks on Popular Mechanics, accusing the magazine of being a tool of the federal government and drawing tinfoil-hat diagrams to tie Popular Mechanics to the Bush Administration and the supposed big conspiracy. If all this nonsense accomplished anything, it was to presage our current era of “alternative facts” and attacking the messenger whenever the message clashes with one’s predetermined beliefs.

Yes indeedy again. But hey, whatcha gonna do with these retarded douchetools, right?

Update! No shit, Dick Tracy, where’s the fuckin’ squad car?

Texas Board of Education approves controversial new high school curriculum tying ‘radical Islam’ to 9/11 attacks
The Texas Board of Education gave final approval to changes to the state’s high school social studies curriculum, a controversial move that will impact how students are taught about Islam and Christianity.

The amended social studies curriculum, which covers US history, government and world geography, comes after dozens of people gave public testimony, with most expressing their opposition to the finalized version.

The board approved language asserting that “radical Islam” motivated the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks rather than taking a more narrow focus on the terrorist groups involved in the attack.

Ooooooweee, “radical Islam”?!? For all me, you Post Toasties™ can just drop the “radical” from that formulation, for accuracy.

The material also requires students to study early Islam through Prophet Muhammad’s “brutal military campaigns against Jewish and Christian tribes,” the “normalization of slavery” and the taking of female captives as “harem slaves.”

All of which happens to be perfectly, indubitably true, from the word “brutal” to the word “slaves,” no need for the sneer-quotes, thenksveddymuch.

Several Democratic State Board of Education members pushed back against the wording, but the Republican-majority board still approved that section and the other changes on Friday.

Muslim groups and students, as well as multiple curriculum experts, also spoke out against the new changes.

“I feel attacked, as if my religion doesn’t belong,” Habiiba Quresh, a 15-year-old Muslim student, told the board, according to The Texas Tribune. “I shouldn’t have to defend my religion in the middle of history class because of one sentence someone on this board wrote.”

Your sham “religion” doesn’t belong, asswipe, seeing as how the central tenets of your pseudo-faith stand in direct, explicit contradiction of the Founding principles of ordered liberty, individual self-determination, and total religious freedom. Go back to where you came from, Habibbity-bob. If you feel “attacked” and like your religion doesn’t belong, that simply tells us that your teachers are doing their job properly, and should be commended for their excellent work.
