This definitely deserves a reblog, no matter what kind of blog you have.

Oh hi tears

The horrors that happened that morning were some of the worst the US has ever suffered, but the biggest tragedy of 9/11 came after the attacks, I feel.

I am still angered that the government had confirmed a few times so far that it received much advance warning of the impeding hijackings, but chose to do nothing and didn’t consider it a threat, even though they had made many attempts on the trade center in 1992 and 93, and have attacked US ships off-shore many times already as late as 2000. The people on the ground did a far better job of coping with this disasters, whether through sheer will or generally being awesome human beings, than the government did. Here’s a fun timeline of events that went on at FEMA on 9/11 if you’d like to read it.

Not much has changed with the US’ preparedness for disasters, not for Katrina, nor the Gulf Coast spill. They have not yet set up any kind of medical support for those who were injured or made sick due to the rescue efforts for 9/11 or the cleanup on the Gulf Coast or those stranded after Katrina, and many of them (even firefighters and EMTs) still struggle with paying for their medical bills out of their own pockets, now, if at all.

They choose to placate people with farces like the TSA, or the wars in the middle east, to distract the people from what was being done (or what hadn’t been done), and all the while seem to not realise the entire reason Al Qaeda had attacked them for- to spark civil unrest, to destroy or upset the US economy to incite an economic crash, and to essentially have the US eat itself from within. One wonders if they have in fact won anyway, while people are going to the Walmarts that put countless local people out of business, and buying “Never Forget” bumper stickers for their car they will never be able to pay off. But let me make this clear; I don’t blame the people.

just my $0.02, hope you all don’t hate me too much for it.

This is too sad. Also, Typette, anything which actually acknowledges that this was an attack on the US, and wasn’t an act committed by the government against its own people is a-ok in my book. I shy away from anything 9/11 related because of the number of people who seem to believe the conspiracy.
