Nah, not buying that after living through 2 decades of the bullshit that 9/11 was used to shove up the ass of America and the rest of the world.
They didn't stop any of the big terrorist attacks like Jan. 6 which we all could see coming just by looking at social media, nor did they stop the Las Vegas concert massacre, or the many other massacres committed by people who always had numerous red flags ignored by authorities and associates. Nah.
Also not a word about other countries, mostly China and Russia, interfering with US elections. smh.
That's because it was never on the mind of the opinion writer. The author literally helped usher in the post-9/11 surveillance environment that sees massive paranoia and none of the surveillance used for solving crimes. They will watch all of us for dissent and discreetly punish those they seem "an other."
Foreign election interference via propaganda is another grossly overblown threat.
