Well it’s the 20th year anniversary of a day that changed everything for me and most of the country. One of those rare lifetime occurrences where everybody remembers where they were in that moment. I happened to be living in Las Vegas and was on the verge of my 24th birthday. Like most people, I was glued to the television for most of that afternoon. However, I had to go to my bartending job that night where I worked on the Strip. Coincidentally at the New York-New York Hotel and Casino, an adult themed resort version of the actual city that was attacked! We even had the Twin Towers painted on a huge mural behind the front desk! It was obviously a surreal experience, and I had the chance to talk to a lot of people about things as the night progressed. This was still in the early phase of the aftermath, and a lot of the details were not known about at the time. There was also no ‘Twitter’ to turn to since it didn’t exist yet!
One of the odd things that I noticed was how many of the tourists around me seemed completely oblivious. Dazed and drinking and perhaps in disbelief to some degree. But reality set in quick, especially in Vegas because people found themselves trapped here unexpectedly! They were away on vacation and now airplanes were all grounded indefinitely. The town actually ran out of rental cars as people tried to drive home instead! It was a temporary inconvenience however, and there were far worse places to be stuck in I suppose. Las Vegas would go into a recession for a while, but we ultimately made a full recovery. Unfortunately, the world would never be the same after September 10th.
The other major item of note for me personally was my whole perspective on this terrible event from the beginning. Because I never believed the official story of what happened on 9/11. By the year 2000, I was pretty well convinced that the government had conspired to kill JFK and were covering up anything to do with aliens or UFO’s. I had read about a dozen books featuring conspiracies and probably watched every episode of X-Files. Even though that was a fictional show, it gave me a good idea of how things probably worked behind the scenes with the authorities.
The 9/11 event confirmed my worst fears about our secret government going rogue. The dreaded Military Industrial Complex had just pulled off another massive false flag event. Probably planned in advance in part by the NeoCon Think-Tank; “The Project for the New American Century.” A who’s who of warmongering Republicans borrowing ideas from Operation Northwoods. Regardless, it was going to be an excuse to drag the United States into a never-ending “War on Terror” at home and overseas. Now we had the Deep State on steroids with an Orwellian “Patriot Act.” We had entered dark times and we had vile and evil villains in the White House. George Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and Karl Rove come to mind as some of the more wicked henchmen of this New World Order regime.
Anyway, it’s 20 years later and I still believe that 9/11 was an inside job. That said, I’m not exactly sure how everything happened, and it’s been a long time since I’ve actually researched the available evidence. However, author Mike Bara has studied everything extensively, and he put together this excellent exclusive presentation including a surprising secret backstory of American history. Was there really a conspiracy? Things may or may not be what you were expecting…
