Shortly after 9/11, Vice President Dick Cheney instructed the National Security State to view all Americans as potential threats.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) were created specifically for this purpose. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) came along in 2002, and within the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) was formed.
The DHS, ODNI, DOJ and FBI became the four pillars of a NEW institution. Atop these pillars is where you will find the Fourth Branch of Government - the Intelligence Branch.
After September 11, 2001, the US electronic surveillance system - that was originally created to monitor threats from abroad - was retooled to monitor threats inside our own country. That is when all of our electronic ‘metadata’ came under federal surveillance. That’s exactly what Edward Snowden tried to point out.
Later, Barack Obama and Eric Holder weaponized that national surveillance system so that their political opposition became the MAIN targets. I believe Obama hired Podesta to complete this task.
The preexisting Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Department of Justice (DOJ) were then repurposed to become two of the four pillars of the domestic national security apparatus: a domestic surveillance state.
The problems we face now as a country are directly tied to the actions of Bush and Obama. First, the Bush administration monitored the communication of American citizens; and, secondly, Obama’s team fine-tuned and used that system against their political opponents and American citizens - and finally Trump and MAGA.
The DHS, ODNI, DOJ and FBI became the four pillars of this new institution - which is the Fourth Branch of Government - THE INTELLIGENCE BRANCH. Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower (military) to John F. Kennedy (CIA) to Richard Nixon (FBI) all warned against this happening. The 4th Branch controls our Government and influences every facet of our life. We The People are under surveillance. We The People are the target. This is what Trump means when he says “They aren’t after me - they are after you. I’m only standing in the way.”

Cheney/Bush… two cretins who shouldn’t be able to show their faces in public.
It’s deeper. See tagline.
I’ll say it again:
EVERYTHING changed on 09/11/2001
In ways I never could have imagined
Thank you for posting this.
[First, the Bush administration monitored the communication of American citizens]
Had a guy (at a private company) tell me this back about 2003.
I won’t name which company he was at but he was in a position to know, as it was part of his job.
DICK Cheney was and is just a filthy, backstabbing neocon in the pay of the Deep State. May both him and his fugly daughter burn in hell.

I said that back on that day. I was amazed that the economy didn't tank. Yes, air travel would be different, but I didn't realize how much it would change the nation's surveillance and people's rights until the HSA was passed.
When the new first came out about Covid I said the same thing - this changes everything. And again, did not foresee how far the powers that be would take it.
“EVERYTHING changed on 09/11/2001”

Same here. I turned on the TV just before the second plane hit. When the second hit I had a vision of what we are dealing with right now. I told my wife what was to come and here we are.
And like you, over the years since I have watched it unfold play by play as this prison was built.
The clarity of truth is our strongest weapon against the tyrants who enslave us.
Suppose it is September 12, 2001. The day after the 9/11/2001 attack.
Suppose I were to tell you what would happen just a little over 7 years later and beyond? And that much of the population would act indifferent?
1) The USA would elect a Kenyan-Indonesian Muslim sympathizer as President of the USA?
2) That the above would have a sketchy birth certificate that was obviously forged?
3) That a pro-American, pro-American-worker President would later be elected and all sorts of trouble would be rained down upon him?
4) That an overriding agenda would be to pretend that a man in a woman’s dress is actually a woman? And that this flag would be flown across the world at our embassies?
5) That people would riot and burn cities and that it would be called “mostly peaceful”?
6) That George W. Bush would align himself with everyone BUT the pro-American-worker President?
You would have said that’s crazy and impossible. And that such things could never have taken place.
Yet they have.
The last time I recognized this country as itself was 2004.
“You would have said that’s crazy and impossible. And that such things could never have taken place.”
Not me... I had already watched what happened at Ruby Ridge, Waco, the closing of Pennsylvania Ave, and in the Middle East up to that point. I saw the “It can indeed happen here” trend starting even before 9-11. On that morning when I saw the second plane hit the second tower I knew what the cause and effect and response was going to be from government. I knew immediately that they were going to imprison us “to keep us safe”.
And within three days it proved it’s self as right. We lost everything we owned because they closed the major route were we had just invested in and pulled permits to build a truck stop. Within three days all the truck traffic was shut down on our thoroughfare and they had armed National Guard road blocks. That was it, and I immediately knew the road blocks were coming, and what our new future was to be as soon as that second building was hit.
I could not predict who the exact actors would be, but I knew it was for sure coming, I knew what the agenda was going to be from that point forward.
“The clarity of truth is our strongest weapon against the tyrants who enslave us.”
Many of us have shared the truth along the way... No one listened. Far too much trust in our government and the “Can’t happen here” ignorance and overconfidence. It was the slow boil... and it worked because our nation is stupid with the arrogance of our own so called “patriotism”. So we actually enslaved ourselves.
I watched the 2nd tower fall.
Then I found out the Pentagon got hit.
2001 was quite the interesting year for me. Still, I would go back if possible.
With all the insanity going on, I think things are getting ...... Biblical.
Hang on. Keep praying. Keep looking up.
Had I heen born earlier, I would’ve known it the moment that Ruby killed Oswald.
“With all the insanity going on, I think things are getting ...... Biblical.
Hang on. Keep praying. Keep looking up.”
Something I find ironic about that... I am having trouble finding a difference between the evil in the world wanting to kill off all my Grandchildren and everyone praying for Judgment day to kill off all my Grandchildren. While one is criminal extermination the other is righteous extermination.
Both are extermination and I am offended by the so called justification of both efforts. And I think one is subconsciously supporting the other in hopes for the exact same end... And part of why were are now where we are with this mess...
“Had I heen born earlier, I would’ve known it the moment that Ruby killed Oswald. “
I read about it when I was about eight and was old enough to wonder “who needed Oswald bumped off? What and why were they hiding?”
So like you I also knew something was crooked somewhere. I became obsessed with history and the distrust of government agencies and actors since just because of Ruby killing Oswald and then the assassination of Robert.
