After almost 25 years now, there are more things we still can learn about that day. Silverstein had signed a 99-year lease for the World Trade Center complex just weeks before the attacks. Silverstein has stated that he typically attended meetings at the World Trade Center every morning. However, on 9/11, he did not go to the office due to a medical appointment. This detail has frequently resurfaced in documentaries, news reports, and online discussions as people revisit the events of that tragic day.
It took about seven years for all the billionaires and insurance companies and lawyers to decide who owed what to whom.
It took about 30 seconds to decide to start killing brown people.
It basically was an immediate attack wasn’t it? What investigation led to the attack on them?
Well, Osama bin Laden publicly taking credit for the attack was a big part.
He was known to be in Afghanistan, known to be part of al-Qaeda, and the Taliban was known to be sheltering and supporting Al-Qaeda.
The Taliban was the internationally recognized government of Afghanistan, which isn’t they were never declared a terrorist organization. When they outright said they would not extradite bin Laden to the US and openly refused to shut down terrorist bases or extradite other terrorists, the US invaded.
Don’t let the clusterfuck of the politics around Iraq cloud the invasion of Afghanistan. That one was extremely straightforward. The government of Afghanistan harbored and sheltered bin Laden, who very publicly claimed credit for 9/11, and then refused to do anything about it afterward.
A side note-don’t you think a terrorist would want credit for that even if they were not involved at all?
They were already there they started capturing and killing known enemies immediately it ramped up as military logistics ramped up. John Kiriakou has spoken a fair bit about the days weeks and months after 9/11 on the podcast circuit.

The war on brown people speaks for itself.
Oh, gotcha. It led to all the Middle Eastern hate after it. I was talking about how quick the U.S. was to attack the people right after.
US military involvement in the middle east didn’t start on 9/11
white people are such fucking bullies. spent decades fucking around the global stage, doing whatever the fuck they want, wars, stealing resources, destabilising democracies for puppet dictators. then when they history begins the moment consequences happen.
Not going to justify terror attacks, but it wasn’t because Bin Laden was mad that Americans had freedom and Jesus.
Ah yes, the Great White Monilith. Our power is unmatched. Give us enough time and we shall meld into one, great Super White and bully the stars!
Shut the fuck up
yes, it fucking is.
even poor white people are enjoying privilege of colonialism. And like you said, don’t give a fuck.
“He’s privileged to be living under a bridge in a moldy jacket because he’s white.”
No time for this idiot logic.
Better than how poor people are treated in the poor countries we exploit to have a nice life
