It argues that rather of closing borders to prevent future attacks, the U.S. implemented extensive surveillance, launched prolonged wars, and increased immigration, particularly of Muslims. The author contends that President George W. Bush promoted a narrative emphasizing Islam as peaceful and sought to prevent blame on Islam, while simultaneously importing millions of Muslims into the U.S., leading to demographic and cultural changes in American cities. Additionally, the text criticizes the expansion of surveillance laws, such as the Patriot Act and FISA, which infringed on constitutional rights. The overall tone suggests that these policies undermined American culture and society under the guise of national security.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>In order to prevent another 9\/11, the only policy the American government needed to pursue was closing down the borders and never allowing Third-Worlders into the country again. Politicians not only refused to do that, but actually did the opposite.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, Americans got stuck with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/former-trump-intel-official-cliff-sims-calls-out-big-tech-wall-street-for-aiding-communist-chinas-rise\/\" title=\"Former Trump Intel Official Cliff Sims Calls Out Big Tech, Wall Street for Aiding Communist China&#039;s Rise\">mass surveillance state<\/a>, two forever wars, the importation of countless Third-Worlders, and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), which to date has never stopped a terror attack, but has made Americans\u2019 travel experience miserable. Americans, in other words, got a major reshuffling of their constitutional rights in favor of government power, and a homeland that quickly became unrecognizable.<\/p>\n<p>Just six days after the most deadly terror attack on American soil in history, President George W. Bush made a <em>hajj<\/em> to the Islamic Center of Washington, D.C, where he proclaimed that the very people who just murdered 2,977 innocents in New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia are peaceful.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese acts of violence against innocents violate the fundamental tenets of the Islamic faith. And it\u2019s important for my fellow Americans to understand that,\u201d Bush said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/georgewbush-whitehouse.archives.gov\/news\/releases\/2001\/09\/print\/text\/20010917-11.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">speech<\/a> titled \u201cIslam is Peace\u201d on Sept. 17, 2001. \u201cThe face of terror is not the true faith of Islam. That\u2019s not what Islam is all about. Islam is peace. These terrorists don\u2019t represent peace.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bush went on a campaign to make sure no American blamed Islam for the attack. He repeated the message in the <a href=\"https:\/\/georgewbush-whitehouse.archives.gov\/infocus\/ramadan\/islam.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Oval Office on Sept. 19<\/a> and to a Joint Session of Congress on Sept. 20. That same day he claimed that Muslim terrorists were trying to \u201chijack Islam itself,\u201d an assertion he repeated on Oct. 11, 2002, and numerous other times in various forms.<\/p>\n<p>His Nov. 15, 2001, Ramadan message attempted to advance the \u201cthe terrorists hate you for your freedom\u201d message, stating, \u201cThis new enemy seeks to destroy our freedom and impose its views. We value life; the terrorists ruthlessly destroy it. We value education; the terrorists do not believe women should be educated or should have health care, or should leave their homes. We value the right to speak our minds; for the terrorists, free expression can be grounds for execution. We respect people of all faiths and welcome the free practice of religion; our enemy wants to dictate how to think and how to worship even to their fellow Muslims.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He carried this message all the way through the end of 2002 and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>And he meant it. In an effort to make sure he could not be subjected to claims of \u201cIslamophobia,\u201d he started importing Muslims by the millions into American communities.<\/p>\n<p>Since 9\/11, America has <a href=\"https:\/\/cis.org\/Camarota\/911-Number-Immigrants-Muslim-World-Has-Grown-18-Million\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">imported<\/a> 1.8 million Muslims into the country from 2001 to 2024, a 103 percent increase compared to the 58 percent increase in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bidens-infrastructure-bill-rewards-states-with-more-immigrants-report\/\" title=\"Biden\u2019s Infrastructure Bill Rewards States With More Immigrants: Report\">foreign-born population<\/a> in the same timeframe. The increase represents growth that is 700 percent faster than that of the total U.S.-born population, according to the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS). Those importations do not take into account the countless children those migrants have had inside the country, who are legally considered American citizens.<\/p>\n<p>The cultural change in the United States has been palpable. There are entire cities overrun by Muslims, creating de facto Islamic enclaves like Dearborn, Michigan, represented by Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich.; Hamtramck, Michigan, which has a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freep.com\/story\/news\/columnists\/john-carlisle\/2025\/05\/27\/hamtramck-michigan-wiki-history-immigration\/78509953007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fully Muslim-run city council<\/a> and police chief; Paterson, New Jersey, which has <a href=\"https:\/\/nj1015.com\/paterson-mayor-sayegh-palestine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">multiple Muslims on the city council<\/a>; Minneapolis, Minnesota, the American headquarters of Somali Muslim scammers; and New York City, which recently elected a foreign-born socialist Muslim mayor using the countless foreigners, including <a href=\"https:\/\/globalmuslimlife.substack.com\/p\/the-top-30-cities-shaping-muslim\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1.5 million Muslims<\/a>, who have been imported there.<\/p>\n<p>Because there are so many more Muslims, it is impossible to go to a grocery store in many urban areas or suburbs without being required to purchase halal meats, because they are the only options. National Parks and malls have turned into a sea of burka-clad women following behind their husbands single-file. In some areas, like many outside Washington, D.C., hearing English throughout the day at all is a rarity.<\/p>\n<p>On top of the demographic change, Americans found themselves subject to a new regime defined by the mass surveillance system put in place by the USA PATRIOT Act and an <a href=\"https:\/\/donohueintellaw.ll.georgetown.edu\/overview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">updated<\/a> FISA Court system, entirely destroying the Fourth Amendment.<\/p>\n<p>As National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden revealed to the public, mass collection of Americans\u2019 metadata was being conducted by the federal government, with zero warrants. These changes paved the way for the current Flock camera debate.<\/p>\n<p>Locking down the border, at least to Muslims, is all the American government had to do in response to 9\/11. But globalist neocons, who both believe in mass migration as a policy matter and were also afraid of being called racist, used the tragedy to completely undermine American culture and society.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>      Breccan F.
