911 could happen again if ignorance continues to prevail

Rick Moran (archive link) warns that 911 could tragically happen again, based on how the establishment does everything possible to prohibit discussion of Islam: "Teachers, parents, elected leaders, and the media do a disservice to the republic by hop-skipping past the religious “why” behind 9/11," writes Todd Bensman in MEF.

"In supposedly protecting a new generation of Americans from knowing the why, they will fail to apply the time-tested wisdom that those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it."

In the last 25 years, have we been lucky or good in avoiding another mass-casualty attack? We're currently fighting a war in Iran, where most Americans seem to have forgotten that our goal is to prevent the most destructive weapon in world history from falling into the hands of the most unbalanced, primitive, fanatical society in modern history. That's a worthy goal in and of itself.

It's too late to make a deal. They still have 400 pounds of uranium enriched to 60%, which is just a hop, skip, and a jump from the 90% enrichment necessary to build about eight bombs. Depending on the number and quality of centrifuges they have left, they could spin up that 60% uranium to 90% in anywhere from 10 days to three months.

The acquisition of power or territory doesn't motivate the Iranian clerical-fascists. What motivates them is a hatred so profound that they are willing to wipe an entire people off the face of the Earth. In a righteous world, the nations would be united to remove this regime before it could carry out its genocide. Instead, some nations see an advantage in allowing this nation to threaten Israel and the West, because anything that weakens the U.S. or Israel, they believe, strengthens them.

This is why another 9/11 is inevitable. We may have sophisticated tools to surveil threats and potential threats, but the mindset of the American people has reverted to 9/10. The media, the left, and even some on the right downplay the threat of terrorism, pointing to the threat to civil liberties and the unlikelihood of a serious attack. Others claim to fear that a president could use the expanded powers given to the government in the aftermath of 9/11 for nefarious purposes.

Well that's also why Zohran Mamdani was elected mayor, tragically enough. Because the population of New York was indoctrinated all these years by the very sources Moran speaks of. Now, as a result, even NYC could be more vulnerable than we think to another tragedy.

On a related note, Matt Margolis warns that leftist activists are working round the clock to erase all clear mention of 911 from history lessons in schools:

Here's the number that should make every American furious: only Arizona and Florida legally require public schools to teach about the September 11 attacks. Ten states have statutes that merely encourage some form of 9/11 instruction, according to an August University of Wisconsin study, and that can mean anything from a moment of silence to a full lesson. New York, where the towers actually fell, mandates only a moment of silence and a passing mention in Board of Regents standards. No statewide curriculum exists.

Rep. Andrew Garbarino (R-N.Y.), who is pushing legislation to require 9/11 education in all 50 states, told the New York Post, "We made a promise to 'Never Forget', but today, only a handful of states require 9/11 to be taught in their schools."

But it gets worse. So much worse.

According to the North America Values Institute, an education watchdog group, leftist activists, some backed by George Soros, have produced 9/11 lesson plans now used in schools nationwide, including in New York City. One, "Teaching Beyond September 11th," spends exactly one paragraph on the actual attacks and never once calls the hijackers terrorists, instead building entire units around "Right-Wing Extremism" and "Islamophobia and the Oval Office." It describes Osama bin Laden only as a man the United States "accused" of masterminding the attacks, leaving out his own confessions and his declared jihad against a country he called the "worst civilization witnessed by the history of mankind."

The curriculum was developed by the University of Pennsylvania's Graduate School of Education beginning in 2019 and is now recommended by education departments in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, and Oregon. Zineb Riboua, a research fellow at the Hudson Institute, said this kind of material teaches kids "that America is responsible for the atrocities around the world to develop a moral framework that can be activated very quickly to get policies that reduce America's power and sovereignty." She said the tactic mirrors what the Muslim Brotherhood and Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps use to target young people. "Ayatollah Khamenei said the best audience to target is students," she added.

What the neo-communist education system and leftist press are doing is nothing short of repulsive, and it wouldn't be shocking if they were among the leading sources who're practically banning 911 Families and survivors from speaking at universities, schools and such. That's why one of the worst things about the tragedy - and also October 7, 2023 in Israel - is that neo-communism/socialism, in its own way, has led to far less freedom to discuss challenging issues.
