Could 9/11 Ever Happen Again?

Back in June, General Keith Alexander attended a House Intelligence Committee hearing about the NSA’s bulk collection of US phone records “to prevent a future 9/11”. He said, ‘Let me start by saying that I would much rather be here today debating this point than trying to explain how we failed to prevent another 9/11.’

But could they really prevent it ever happening again? The official story tells us that the attacks were made possible by catastrophic failings within the US’s intelligence network. This happened before with Pearl Harbour. Obviously, the lessons were not learned, so what’s to say it can’t happen again?

If history has taught us anything, it’s that a determined group of terrorists will always succeed eventually. All you can do is hope they don’t strike at a valuable target and that nobody gets hurt.

The whole world, it seems, is on terrorist watch right now. But just in the last few days there have been bombings in Russia, Somalia and Lebanon. Barely a day goes by that we don’t read about an explosion somewhere or other. And there haven’t only been bombings since 9/11. We’ve had shootings, including one at an army base in the heart of the US.

Can the NSA keep America safe? Can MI6 keep the UK safe? Can the FSB keep Russia safe?

I wonder.

The world is on the brink of all-out war, and terrorism is just one facet of that. There are tensions on every continent, and all it needs is one slip of a finger on a trigger and we’ll be plunged into World War 3.

The next world war really will be the one to end all others. Even if by some minute chance it doesn’t go nuclear, the modern world’s armies have such destructive power they can level each other with comparative ease. By the time they’ve finished there’ll be nothing left. We literally won’t have the capability to wage war anymore.

That will be the new 9/11. So, yes – it could happen again.

As for who will carry out this abomination, that’s not the point. The point is the only way to prevent another 9/11 is to stop killing each other.

Who are the terrorists anyway? Who will be the terrorists when the world starts destroying itself?

The simple answer is “THEM”. THEY are the terrorists; the others.

To us in the UK, the terrorists are Islamic fundamentalists. To Islamic fundamentalists it is us. In Israel, the Palestinians are the terrorists. In Palestine, the terrorists are Israel.

Terrorists are always those who oppose us. So, the whole nightmare will never end until we all get together and get along. If not, then another 9/11 will only be a matter of time.
