The Importance of September 11, 2001

The Importance of September 11, 2001

By Lt. Col. Shelton F. Lankford
September 11, 2017

September 11, 2001 seems destined to be the watershed event of ​
our lives and the greatest test for our democracy in our lifetimes.

The evidence of government complicity in the lead up to the
events, the failure to respond during the event, and the astounding
lack of any meaningful investigation afterwards, as well as the
ignoring of evidence turned up by others that renders the official
explanation impossible, may signal the end of the American
experiment.

It has been used to justify all manners of measures to legalize
repression at home and as a pretext for behaving as an aggressive
empire abroad.

Until we demand an independent, honest, and thorough
investigation and accountability for those whose action,
and inaction, led to those events and the cover-up, our
republic and our Constitution remain in the gravest danger. ​

-- Lieutenant Colonel Shelton F. Lankford, US Marine Corps
