Never Forget The Aftermath of Sept 11th, 2001

Was Sept. 11th, 2001 the beginning of an era of newspeople not asking questions?

Even if the federal government did everything right before and on the day of Sept. 11th, 2001, newspeople have avoided questions since: Iraq/Afghanistan/Homeland Security, inbound cartel drugs, etc.

Major Accomplishments:

US troops to Iraq and Afghanistan.

Creation of a giant US Dept. of Homeland Security that wants you to get an enhanced ID, but fails to keep cartel product from showing up in all 50 states.

Today, the American people pay $51.6 billion (every 12 months) for the ineffective DHS.

A GWOT culture that brought on newspeople who play along by not asking questions.

Examples:

Airport Security Screening

Show up early to wait in line for security and ID checks.

Would any newsperson ever ask:

What keeps the terrorists of the GWOT from creating a disruption at the back end of the screening line?

Has anyone ever seen any member of the press ask questions on this?

Mainstream TV newspeople who function like paid actors reading a script:

Would any newsperson ever ask:

Did the advantage of US air power allow the undeclared wars in Iraq or Afghanistan to be prevented, won or shut down?

US jet aircraft have been able to strike targets in what wars won by the US?

Currently serving four-star officers and high level DOD civilians have been associated with what wars won by the US?

Has dressing women to look like men had any positive or negative impact on recruiting?

The Post 911 Super Bowl

Tune in to any Super Bowl in the post 911 era to see the press promote a big US Dept. of Homeland Security show of force to keep the big game safe. TV newspeople skip asking questions and play the role of federal public affairs staff instead:

The folks who can’t keep fentanyl trafficking cartels from moving product into various US communities are keeping the Super Bowl safe. Way To Go Team.

Would any newsperson ever ask:

If special games require special security-what keeps regular games safe? Crowd size/capacity is similar at several stadiums.

Are fans less safe at regular games?

What prevents terror strikes at hundreds of events & locations unsupervised by federal authorities?

What stops terrorists from going 2 states over and driving a truck across the playground at a daycare center?

February 4, 2023 ABC 10

“…at least five times more highly trained K-9s will be in the area sniffing out safety threats during the Super Bowl and all the events surrounding it than normal.”

Homeland Security Vote of Confidence:

“Most fentanyl in the United States comes directly from drug cartels in Mexico and Central America, according to the DEA and federal prosecutors.”

Welcome Home Troops

Thanks for doing time/risking your ass in Iraq and Afghanistan, working to keep a post 911 USA safe & secure.

Don’t worry-The Super Bowl and public affairs will be safe:

A US Armed Forces Recruiting Crisis

Decades after the lessons of Vietnam, the Pentagon seems to specialize in undeclared/unwon wars. Understandable why young people & their parents & grandparents would take a dim view on all this. Very hard to find news articles that will entertain this point.

NATO

Newspeople refuse to ask:

What happens when American families no longer send the young ones to enlist and will not support a draft?

More Discussion Please

Both major parties tell us The Troops are in distant lands to defend American rights and freedoms.

Biden honors Americans who ‘stood on the front lines of freedom’ in Veterans Day remarks

Sorry, no newspeople available to ask:

Mr President,

Going back to the 1990 Operation Desert Shield,

How would American freedoms today be any different if US troops were never sent to Iraq?

Uncle Sam is having a hell of a time finding people to sign up for the US Armed Forces. Pretending that decades of undeclared/unwon wars are linked in any way with American freedoms is the kind of dishonesty that will snuff out the energy American families once had for encouraging young people to enlist.

Good luck with your US Armed Forces recruiting crisis.

The country struggles with:

Cultural Honesty

Freedom?

Both major parties are OK with federal prohibition of alcohol and tobacco for adults age 18-20.

No such thing the day I graduated from high school.

That was before decades of military operations for your freedoms.

Restricting And Suppressing Local Newspaper Comment Sections

Years ago, I lived in several different small town areas. Places like Kingston, Port Hadlock and north of Penn Cove.

These areas had small, local newspapers and those papers featured active, online comment sections. Paying for a newspaper subscription was OK with me. There were basic rules for commenting, but it did not seem to matter what name people went by. I never cared.

I used to love the comment sections.

Local papers have stripped away all comments from past articles, and removed the opportunity to post comments to new articles.

Various newspapers in the Puget Sound area have gone with this trend.

Suppressing comments, getting away from asking questions related to public policy and telling us they need more support from subscription and advertising sales.

Got it.
