III. FINAL THOUGHT: 9/11 – 25 YEARS WITHOUT LEARNING A THING

By Bill Collier, Publisher

“The attacks of September 11th were intended to break our spirit. Instead, we have emerged stronger and more unified. We feel renewed devotion to the principles of political, economic and religious freedom, the rule of law and respect for human life. We are more determined than ever to live our lives in freedom.” – Rudy Giuliani, New York City Mayor when the World Trade Towers were attacked.

“All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.” – Edmund Burke

On September 11, 2001, forces from a dying civilization trying to conquer the world attacked the United States of America and, despite everything, including a war on terror that has become a war on the rights of individual Americans, it is obvious our society has learned absolutely nothing.

Let’s pull the bandages off the wound so we can call it what it is: a dangerous gangrenous monstrosity that is eating away at the Body Politic. In short, terrorism had worked because the rabid, violent and authoritarian ideology of political Islam is invading the USA and the prevalence of Islamic radicalism in US institutions has grown exponentially since then.

The attacks were financed and supported by organizations that were themselves provided for by major Muslim powers, like Pakistan, and Turkey, among others, to undermine the USA and make the West easy pickings for a version of Islamic Civilization straight out of a horror movie.

On September 10, 2001, political Islam had few allies, and Muslim migrants were small in number and influence. Now, the Democratic Party is a Pro Political Islamic Supremacist organization and a man whose ideology is similar to Bin Laden (albeit covered slightly and denied) is the Mayor Of New York. This is thanks mostly to “voters” who migrated to the USA after this event.

Terrorism works.

The goal of political Islam was to subvert the USA and the West to seize power. They have power. Dearborn, Michigan is an Islamist hellhole. Most universities are run for and by Islamic supremacists and by them or their leftist allies.

The demographic war against Europeans in favor of radical Islamic killers is on pace to end the West eventually, even as leftism is killing the birthrate while the Islamic Jihadist families grow, financed by US federal dollars and fraud. If you are unhappy with society, you might see this and think that perhaps if you engaged in “lateral warfare” your cause might be taken more seriously and your beliefs more respected.

The Muslims are coming to take over and the American Democratic party is their chief ally in their aims, being anti-Christian, anti-free market, and anti-Bill of Rights. The unholy alliance of leftist authoritarianism built on moral depravity and political Islamic supremacism is one that will eventually require one of the two partners to triumph over the other, both side likely assuming the other is but a tool to be used.

The lesson from 9/11 is that we are in a civilizational crisis and what follows next in this land must either be a new assertion of our own civilizational principles or the triumph of our enemies in our land. The current political agenda of the Democratic Party is more aligned with Bin Laden, who also hated free enterprise and individual rights, than, say, John F Kennedy.

In short, we never understand this as a civilizational crisis, or a war for the survival of our country and civilization. We treated this as an inappropriate response to injustice committed by our government and only to be mitigated by appeasing the “good Muslims” who turn out always to be quiet allies to the “radicals”, whose ideas are mostly favored by most of Islamic civilization.

There is a meme saying basically that a moderate Muslim is someone who claims that giving in to their demands, e.g. Sharia accommodation, is necessary so the “radicals” don’t kill more innocent people. It is terrorism by indirect means: they benefit from the threats of the radicals to force changes to US policy that ultimately favor the Islamic supremacists.

Is there a Muslim who rejects these things? One struggles to find them outside of the UAE, Kurdistan, or, to some extent, Jordan. Everywhere else, especially the U.S., the dominant worldview is Islamic supremacism and imperialism. The average Muslim either supports the terrorists or refuses to denounce political Islam, while voting for Democrats who have become the Al Qaeda Party in America.

This is not a holy war.

This is not about Islam.

There are Muslims who do not want to dominate anyone and who do not support Jihadist friendly people like New York’s Mayor, a man who has zero loyalty to any of America’s founding principles, a man who will attack America over its past failures without acknowledging that HIS MOVEMENT is what attacked the USA on 9-11-01.

But while American Muslims are among the least likely to justify Sharia, terrorism, or violence, they vote en bloc for all that, and they spend their time lecturing us on how we should not blame “all Muslims” for 9/11. They do this while they also decry White People at every chance as the original cause of evil in this world (behind, of course, the Jews).

One can hardly claim to be a different kind of Muslim while steadily supporting people and causes that advance the very agenda that motivated the 9-/11 attackers.

What has happened since 2001 is that political Islam is untouchable in the West; they don’t want to be called a phobe. Therefore, political Islam is gaining power everywhere at the expense of the survival of our Union of Constitutional Republics.

If you sense this and are told it’s not true, just trust your gut because Islam is winning the war for the soul of our culture and nobody at any level, including the Republicans and Trump, truly understands that on 9/11 Islamic Civilization itself conducted a major attack against Christianity and the West. Their attacks and their threats have worked, they are more powerful than ever before.

Islam is everywhere. Muslims are everywhere and most are invoking narratives, e.g. “stolen land” and “Islamophobia”, to curtail our very right to exist. The Islamic Civilization is also dying, but it is, like other dying civilizations, trying to find life in action. The idea is simple: as long as they are conquering more lands and making them fall under Islamic laws, their civilization will grow and thrive.

It won’t. But that is beside the point!

The triumph of Islam everywhere is the death of freedom everywhere. Islam as an ideology is incompatible with freedom. Rights coming from God? No. The only people with rights are the Mullahs. As for religious freedom, most Muslims support people and organizations that do not believe that Jews or Christians should have any influence over policy and no rights to exist.

Their Quran commands them to murder us all.

Democrats? They do not believe in the Bill of Rights, and they are allies of Jihadism. Period.

Every major institution is worried more over offending the sensitivities of Muslims than the rights of anyone else, except for people whose gender identity and sexuality supports the collapse of our birthrate, our families, and civil society. As for the rights of Christians? Their speech offends and they deny that Mohammed was anything but a false prophet and a pedophile, and for that offense they must suffer.

9/11 was a major attack on civil society in America, and it worked. Violence has proven more effective, especially when the courts, the press, the entertainment world, academia, and every HR department and corporate boardroom favors the aggressors and blames the victims.

9/11 was, to them, a result of things we did to the Muslims, and while it was wrong, “if only we were better to the Muslims we would not be attacked.”

All we must do is stop being a Christian people with laws based on Christian beliefs and values. Then we will have peace. And our daughters will be placed in harams, since American women no longer want to mate with American men.

9/11 worked for the Islamic world. It should have caused us to have a serious question about Islamic supremacism and political Islam and the inherent threat these things represent. Instead, “W” seemed more concerned that Muslims were the true victims of 9/11. He changed his policies to accommodate terrorists.

The endless war on a form of lateral warfare without naming the enemy, which is Islamic civilization overall, made life harder for Americans. The Patriot Act, an Orwellian name, is itself as much an evil as political Islam or Nazism. It is an assault on our rights and has led to the deaths and unjust imprisonment of thousands of innocent Americans.

We never learned. 

The unity of the days after the event was short-lived because it soon became an apology for America itself. Obama in 2009’s Cairo Speech sounded every bit as much like Al Qaeda in his blood libel attacks on our country, and he was rewarded with a second term.

We elected a man whose own lived experiences were in a Muslim school run by people whose thoughts are very aligned with Bin Laden. He grew up learning to hate America, and he took that spirit with him to D.C.

The real difference between most moderate Muslims and terrorists is their strategic approaches. The strategic aims, namely the imposition of Islam in the USA and the termination of our “democracy”, are identical in every substantial measure. Most American Muslims reject force or violence, but they vote for the Party that is delivering results the Islamic supremacists applaud.

We are in a civilizational crisis. We are at war against Islamic Civilization because it has as its nature the essential goal of subjugating the world to Islam. The same applies to the left, supported by China and Russia, despite the way the Left today pretends to hate Russia. Qatar and Turkey have the President’s ear more than the Bill of Rights ever did, it appears, because he gives so much to them while denying that political Islam is a cancer that must be removed from our land.

We never learned. 

Will Islam triumph?

Not necessarily. The underlying problems of a dying civilization don’t go away when you conquer another civilization, they just expand to that civilization as well. Moreover, the fact every major civilization today is in a crisis of meaning also points to an uncertain outcome: the financial and civil collapse being aggravated by all these activities may explode before the conquerors themselves collapse from within.

The left, whose ideology is a late-stage ideology one expects to find in a dying civilization, also have their own agenda. One wonders if both want to clear away the opposition among Christians or conservatives, or the Jews, before going after each other, but eventually they will have to fight each other.

The trick is to use their ally to defeat a common foe then to triumph over that ally. Both sides think they can win when that time comes, or they would not be allies. They do not want to let the other side win because their aims are actually divergent. Leftists don’t want Sharia. But if the people who want Sharia will help the left defeat America, and give them votes, then so be it, for now.

This is a critique of political Islam and the 9/11 response, which failed to see this as a civilizational war being waged by real powers, e.g. Turkey and Saudi Arabia, to destroy the West and conquer it from within. There are other dangers and threats, some from the right and left, some religious, many secular.

Indeed, the Republicans until now have utterly failed to comprehend this as a civilizational war. Trump sees this as transactional and deal making; this is his entire persona. Trump’s Iran war has often been guided by the same Islamic powers whose core ideology is Al Qaeda with good PR. Turkey is a radical Islamic supremacist power that wants to destroy our country and see Islam rule here by force. Make no mistake.

Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Pakistan all agree. Their goal is the end of Christianity and the Jews because they stand against their Civilizational agenda. To deny this is to ignore their ideology and theology and to pretend their many acts, especially 9/11, were not representative of the entire Islamic Civilization. 9/11 was an expression of political Islam.

Let that sink in.

9/11 was an expression of political Islam and most Muslim countries, including our “allies”, again, excepting a few like Jordan or the UAE, support it. Most Democrats support political Islam. Their candidates and elected officials who are Muslims all support it by their deeds and their known behavior and statements.

This is not a call to wage war on Islamists or progressives.

The point is that 9/11 showed that violence works. It caused what we now see, the march of Islam in America aimed at the jugular of our civilization with murderous intent. But violence and terrorism producing temporary victories for Muslim powers over us is not a long-term plan for success, because it sows seeds of violence and dissolution for political ends that will eventually be answered by the people who’s right, wellness, and prosperity are being taken away.

Principles and rights do not rule. Discourse and debate leading to election results do not matter. Force, intimidation, and authoritarianism become the only viable answer, a true god of forces pinned to personalities wins during the decline of a major civilization.

This leads to instability and war from within. When right is not feared but only might, when fear of terrorism leads to giving political Islam power over America’s chief financial city, then the lessons drawn are that violence is a solution.

Those who rise in violence to defend against this are themselves sowing more seeds of dissolution.

The universe is governed by laws. We will debate them and try to understand them, like a scientist would, but these laws exist and cannot be overcome. Political Islam will never conquer the world, and resorting to a rule by force yourself only makes rule by force itself a bigger threat to our civilization than political Islam itself. The laws of cause and effect that govern the rise and fall of civilizations matter and cannot be beaten.

The West will eventually fall. So will Islamic civilization. So will every major world civilization around today. New paradigms will emerge, and one or more new civilizations will rise. The rule by force paradigm, narrative over substance, and corruption over justice, eventually overtake every civilization until it falls.

It falls outside the scope of this Final Thought, but the dynamic here is that America could carry the seeds of a new civilization within our founding documents.

So far, the promise within those founding documents is an unfulfilled dream, a dream most Americans may not even be aware of. For now, America is ruled by people and institutions that are wholly subordinated to Western Civilization in its latter stage paradigm, i.e. rule by force, and very few voices focused on the idea of a new civilization are even heard.

This is true of President Trump, as well as it is for Chuck Schumer.

Thus, 9/11 is a massive, pitched battle between one dying civilization seeking renewal through conquest and the other seeking acceptance after coming to loath itself. Both paths, the Islamists and the globalists, rely on rule by force, and both think they can use the other as a club to remove their common enemies, which we may see as the people who have the seeds of a new civilization within them, before going after each other.

Those who embrace a Judeo-Christian worldview, the Bill of Rights as our sacred God-given rights, the Declaration of Independence as our founding authority, and a free market economy, represent the people from whom a new class of rebels will arise, rebels who are the progenitors of the new without realizing it.

The notion that faith and actual justice should guide a culture with little need for political force of any kind, is the type of seed from which new civilizational paradigms emerge.

The people who look at the Federalist Papers, at the tenets of historical Christianity and Judaism, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution as foundations for our civilization are in fact the seed-bearers of a new civilizational paradigm that is still ahead of its time.

Eventually, a new civilization, or new civilizations, will emerge, and freedom will continue in some form until the end of the world. It may be hounded from its old strongholds, but it will survive, and we know that with historical certainty.

The outstanding question is whether we as individuals will see that in part or in whole and what things we may have to endure if the current trends, started on 9/11, continue.

If political Islam gains as much ground as they did these past 25 years over the next 25 years, then it will be illegal to either say that marriage is only recognized by God between one man and one woman or that Jesus Christ is God and Muhammad is a false prophet, or perhaps both.

But the light of freedom will remain, the seeds of a new civilization will not die, and somewhere in this earth that new liberty-built civilization will arise.
