Question

What do you think were some of the unintended impacts of 9/11 terrorist attacks on the U.S.?

Answer 1

The tactics of fear , used by our goverment to take away our Civil Rights , listen in to our private phone calls , Gather imformation ,persecute, jail , and torture us without the due process of the legal system . That we may never regain these rights .

Answer 2

Very few, if any.

9/11 was at least in part a conspiracy, not by the government but by criminal elements inside the government. Most people in the government were honestly deceived.

Col. Robert Bowman summarized it well with these words

"… at least they made it impossible for those planes to be intercepted.  If our government had merely did nothing, and I say that as an old interceptor pilot—I know the drill, I know what it takes, I know how long it takes, I know what the procedures are, I know what they were, and I know what they’ve changed them to. If our government had merely done nothing, and allowed normal procedures to happen on that morning of 9/11, the Twin Towers would still be standing and thousands of dead Americans would still be alive. My sisters and brothers, that is treason."

- Dr. Robert Bowman Lt. Col., USAF, ret., Democratic candidate for Congress, Florida’s 15th District. Decorated air combat veteran; head of Star Wars programs under Presidents Ford & Carter; Ph.D. in Aeronautics and Nuclear Engineering from Caltech; leading expert on national security.

What has flowed from 9/11 was on the agenda of the criminals - gradual and ongoing undermining of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights; instilling fear in the minds of the people, creation of a surveillance state in America, turning citizens against each other, endless illegal war, ... I could go on but that's enough to make my point.

Those were definitely not unintended consequences. The plan of the criminals is right on queue.

Answer 3

Lung diseases from the falling debris and smoke.

Answer 4

I think the number of airlines that went bankrupt and the extreme loses that we still pay for today when we buy plane tickets. There's also the whole airport security which can sometimes take HOURS to get through, it's even worse in America.

Answer 5

"Fear" - a weapon government used very successfully on many occasions, particularly in taking away the basis of our freedom and liberties, ie the constitution and FISA.

America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.

~ Abraham Lincoln

"When the government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny."
