Hold on to your butts people and here we go. Next Saturday is the twentieth anniversary of September 11, 2001. A day that changed everything. Or so we've been told over and over and it's almost like the phrase "the day that changed everything" has taken on the status of mythic. What seems to get lost in all the retelling, is that George W. Bush allowed all the damn Saudis living here in America to fly away safely and not have to worry about being hijacked and flown into a building somewhere. Lost is the fact that Dark Cheney "authorized" the downing of United Airlines Flight 93 over Pennsylvania with a missile shot. The myth that "passengers engaged the terrorists and brought the airliner down" is bullshit and yet now consider as 'holy writ'. The tales of 9/11/01 just get better with each and every telling. This upcoming week will be filled with more fictional crap-o-la than you can shake a Gary Sinise at. Lieutenant Dan will be front and center spouting gibberish, nonsense, and ultra-conservative spin to reinforce the whitewash. NOTICE -( I had to make a necessary correction to the original sentence. Its Lieutenant Dan and not Cap'n Dan. My bad and correction made at 16:00 hours M.D.T. Damn if'n that wasn't about stupid or what...) So keep your arms and legs inside this weeks ride and get ready to be dazed and confused. Dazzled, razzled, and mystified beyond the compression for a normal if not sane citizenry. I mean the America has already bought into all the 9/11/01 bullshit so, a little more spectacular bullshit won't hurt a bit. Won't help the understanding of exactly what the fuck happened on that September morning but it might not hurt. Not too much anyway. This upcoming celebratory week shall surely be worth the watching just to see how much further twisting is necessary to bring 'sainthood' to all the deserving individuals that worked ever so hard to make 9/11/01 happen. The blood of 2,996 innocent souls incinerated on that fateful day. A further 25,000 nonfatal injuries sustained. It is curious that the number of those injured on that ugly damn day would round off so neatly. But that's what passes as fact. Fact is, 9/11/01 started America's twenty year run in the Afghanisnam. Fact is, 9/11/01 started the destruction of Iraq. Fact is, Syria went ass-up insane and staged one brutally bloody civil war for emphases. Lebanon was dragged, kicking and screaming, into the insanity just for laughs. Yeah so there's much to "celebrate" this week. Get yourself a ringside seat in front of your television, put on your earbuds, ready a bowl of popcorn and enjoy. (?) You are about to witness hubris on full televised display. Say, did anyone get the name of the soldier that left that last pair of empty boots leaving the Afghanisnam? Machine art is up next for this here Sunday.
