“Back in July, an American representative met with the Taliban, sometimes in the UN, sometimes right in Peshawar in Pakistan. The representative said either you accept a carpet of gold or we will bury you under a carpet of bombs. This was in July. Then came September 11, and now it’s Osama bin Laden. The government didn’t know anything about any terrorists the day before. But on September 11, 12, and 13 they have 19 faces in the paper saying these are the guys. When did you learn that? How did you learn that? Something is wrong with this picture. Muslims and Arabs got all the blame and they went immediately to the Congress beating the drums of war.”
Minister Farrakhan has been relentless in his quest for the real truth behind “9/11.” Recently he addressed who orchestrated “9/11,” in his March 8, 2016, interview given to the Final Call newspaper. He states: “They understood, and the ADL understands, that once the American people know that this country or the government and some members of it are, in fact, a party to the conspiracy to take down the Twin Towers in a false flag operation that was designed to create a situation that would so frighten, alarm, and anger the American people that they could direct that anger against the Muslim World and bring the war effort to take down seven Muslim nations in five years. Facts are now coming to light that show Muslims were not responsible for 9/11. A policy came out of the Pentagon to make war and to pit the Muslims against each other and rip up these ‘cells of terror.’”
In the name of “9/11” America has invaded Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya; intervened in Syria, Jordan, Georgia, and Djibouti; initiated anti-terror-related activities in Georgia, Djibouti, Kenya, Ethiopia, Yemen, and Eritrea; and has launched drone attacks in Somalia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Yemen, and Libya. So now America has created millions of enemies from whom she must now protect herself.
On the domestic front, while the Patriot Act may be the most recognizable piece of legislation relating to September 11, 2001, more than 130 pieces of 9/11-related legislation were introduced in the 107th Congress in the year after the attacks, with 48 bills and resolutions approved or signed into law. Some aspects of these bills clearly “trump” the Constitution, such as:
- Your health records are no longer private. The government can force your doctor to tell it all. Further, a clause in the Patriot Act exempted pharmaceutical companies from being sued by people ill-affected by their drugs.
- In December 2005, the New York Times reported the National Security Agency was tapping into telephone calls of Americans without a warrant, in violation of federal statutes and the Constitution.*
- In the years since 9/11, our government has illegally kidnapped, detained, and tortured numerous prisoners in spite of Geneva Convention provisions protecting prisoners of war. *
- The FBI’s Investigative Data Warehouse has grown to over 560 million records. The Department of Justice now claims that it can simply subpoena an Internet company like Facebook and demand that they look for and turn over all the records they have on any particular person.*
- The Freedom of Information Act has been weakened. The Bush administration made sweeping claims of “state secrets” to stymie judicial review of many of its policies that infringe on civil liberties.*
- New fees were attached to our airline tickets to pay for the post-9/11 Transportation Security Administration (TSA), whose search procedures at airports require you to take off your shoes and submit to a full body scan.*
- Government agencies — including the FBI and the Department of Defense — have conducted their own spying on innocent and law-abiding Americans. Through the Freedom of Information Act, the ACLU learned the FBI had been consistently monitoring peaceful groups such as “Quakers, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, Greenpeace, the Arab American Anti-Defamation Committee and, indeed, the ACLU itself.”*
- The U.S. government has moved to over-classify information and has engaged in outright censorship and prescreening of scientific articles before publication.*

Before “9/11” America’s white citizens would not have tolerated such intrusions into their privacy or the elimination of their constitutional rights. “9/11” trumps everything.
