It may have been noticed that I missed recognizing 9/11 yesterday as I have always done over the years. No disrespect was intended and the victims and heroes of that day should be thoughts of more than once per year. My own beliefs regarding the root cause of that event and the government actions afterward has changed dramatically over the past few years. Attempting to relay those thoughts and beliefs will likely stir up a hornets nest that at this point would not accomplish things. The truth of that day will likely never be known for certain other than proof that evil exists in the world. That is absolutely for certain.
I do often reflect back on September 12. 2001. We all woke up and our world -0 the world – had changed. I remember an overwhelming feeling of anger and also patriotism. “United We Stand” began to circulate as a saying and Americans, likely for the last time ever, really became united. Those who had large disagreements and differences in opinions set them to the side and united in an unwavering desire for payback and to extinguish the evil that generated such a terrible event.
I had never seen so many American flags. They were everywhere. People strapped flags to their cars, posted them on their houses and in their yards, and wore pins as a display to everyone who could see that the terrorists who tried to bring America down failed. No matter the threat or attack WE would stand UNITED against all who wished to harm us and the idea which is these United States of America.
So the question remains – Have we forgotten September 12th? I believe the answer to a very large extent is YES. It’s been 22 years since 9/11 and look at our country now. There are fractures throughout the citizenship and the country is crumbling in so many ways – there’s no way of saving it now. The strength of America has been in the resourcefulness of its people and their belief in the Constitution. It’s people as a whole have traveled far from what they were. Of course there are exceptions, however, the population who compare to the greatest generation is dwindling.

What can we do?
We each need to live our own life and be as happy as possible. Get out of the cities. Become as independent from the system, from government, and corporations as possible. Insulate yourself from society and the effects of government as much as possible. Be happy. Make memories with friends and family. Find a deeper connection with yourself and with God. Go walk in the woods and enjoy nature. Go shoot some guns and kayak in a river. Enjoy life as it is way too short.
Tomorrow is the 13th. Who knows what will come next.

The country isn’t nearly as Patriotic as it should be but we are the world leaders of virtue signaling. Sad.
Agree CaptTurbo. We are past the point of the people taking back control and holding the tyrants accountable.
Unfortunately CaptTurbo, I have to agree.
The American flag flies on a 21′ flagpole at my home all year long .. except for when the winds are blowing 155 mph. 😉
I ordered a 1776 flag and bought a flagpole to fly on the side of the cabin. If I flew the USA flag it would fly upside down. Couldn’t help myself.
9/11 was an attack from outside.
Right now, it’s become evident that we are being attacked (and being defeated) by forces within our own borders, and within our own government. It will be interesting to see if a majority of our fellow Americans ever wake up to this reality. It will soon be too late….
Good to hear from you Matt. It’s been too long. Agree 100% on the attack from within.There just doesn’t seem to be the “internal fortitude” to take the action necessary to hold those tyrants accountable. I include myself in that group. Maybe someone some day will step up and call on those Patriots to join together to take this country back.
NSA Disclaimer: The preceding is meant to be entertainment and NOT a call on Patriots to take up arms against a tyrannical government. There is no reason for the FBI to investigate nor perform abnormal cavity searches on Mr. Rourke – no matter how much he might like it.
Mr. Matt – give me a call some time.
I wish we could post photos here. I have flags including the 1776 versions that I have flown for years. I normally run double flags and I know this group here would especially appreciate the second flag. Many friends tell me I’m nuts to run this stuff but I can only ask them how far they are prepared tp back up? Molon Labe is pretty much how I feel after all this bullshit we have been accosted with, Bring it!
On 9/12/2001 we said we’d never forget and in 2008 they had quickly forgotten and elected a anti-American, communist muslim to be President…. “I will fundamentally change America”.
Those 8 years destroyed what took 200 years to build and it is still eating away like a ravenous cancer. The divide has become way too wide to ever be united again.
Amen Romeo Charlie but never give up. Never surrender.
CaptTurbo,
Never, never, never give up – Winston Churchill. The fight that is coming our way will be for our very survival and those that aren’t prepared will have a first class ticket on the pain train.
