bruh… You maybe missed the entire part where there are lots of people who think 9/11 was an inside job, false flag, whatever they think. Ever heard the phrase “jet fuel doesn’t melt steel beams”

That’s the reference here. Not that we went into a crazy surveillance state.

But the fact is that 9/11 , whatever kind of job was ( inside? External? Mixed? ) , was used to push a surveillance state, as they waited for the right occasion. As covid with lockdowns and cashless society push. The fear that climate change will be used to push other autoritarian measures it is not conspiracy, is a fact.

Joe Biden famously claimed that the PATRIOT Act was based on his legislation, a counter-terrorism omnibus bill that had failed previously.

They always seem to have plenty of unsavory ideas “lying around.”
