It is impor­tant to note that the dis­tinc­tion between the domes­tic and for­eign pol­icy impli­ca­tions of the inci­dents is, to a con­sid­er­able extent, aca­d­e­mic. The attacks, seen from a military/foreign pol­icy stand­point, are inex­tri­ca­bly linked with their domes­tic impact. As the title of the broad­cast indi­cates, the attacks can be accu­rately con­sid­ered as a sneak attack by a for­eign power—the Under­ground Reich—and its Fifth Col­umn in the United States.

The 9/11/2001 attacks can also be viewed as pro­mot­ing the domes­tic polit­i­cal and police pow­ers of the seated polit­i­cal inter­ests. The fact that they were fol­lowed by the pas­sage of sweep­ing law enforce­ment and intel­li­gence pro­vi­sions which may be used to abridge the con­sti­tu­tional free­doms of Amer­i­can cit­i­zens and to sti­fle legit­i­mate polit­i­cal dis­sent is not to be overlooked.

The fun­da­men­tal the­sis here is that, in addi­tion to being an attack on the United States by the Under­ground Reich, the Sep­tem­ber 11 assaults con­sti­tute “nation build­ing” in this coun­try by the Bor­mann group. Cir­cum­stan­tial evi­dence sug­gests that the Bush fam­ily may well be the Amer­i­can “point ele­ment” for that remark­able and deadly orga­ni­za­tion. Read More »
