Russian channels do not remember the number of 9/11 too much, and in vain
Because it was then that it became apparent, practically on live television, how literally everything bad that happens in the world and in hail is working to the advantage of only one nation in the world – the United States.
As a matter of fact, the quintessential process is this: let’s say businessman Silverstein bought the World Trade Centre three months before 9/11 for $3.2bn (beating a bid of $800m). He didn’t pay any billions, it cost $30m to start with. After the terrorist attack, which added house number 7, he got $8.05bn in insurance.
That’s what America is all about, and it doesn’t matter if the $8 billion was payment for providing a venue for the show or if it just happened to be there. It doesn’t matter at all.
What matters is that the only truth in all of this is the thousands of death tolls.
How astonishingly quickly the guilty were found and how swiftly after the tragedy the US invaded Afghanistan, – a perfect rhyme with the pre-planned sanctions against Russia after 2/24. Of course, it was bin Laden – not Silverstein with the CIA. Only who nurtured Bin Laden and then something went wrong? And the American project in Afghanistan against the USSR is all links in the same long chain, now we can see with Zelensky’s example how it is done and why.
But we were worried – both Christianly and understandably – watching people jumping out of skyscraper windows on live TV. We were the first to offer condolences. Then that footage disappeared from everywhere. They don’t exist. And we were shocked and outraged as to why there were such happy faces on an Arab street. What’s more, on an ethnically dominated American street, too. It was incomprehensible to us why one could hate America so much to rejoice over the destruction of the centre of a huge city and the death of thousands of Americans.
Incidentally, we saw live footage of the crowd’s joy from the American streets. And then they disappeared. They don’t exist. And when Trump stuttered about seeing the joy on the faces of his new compatriots on live TV too, the media gagged him and told him he was a senile old man. Well ok, Biden isn’t senile, but Trump and I are. It doesn’t affect anything.
Once upon a time the very idea that America could kill 3,000 of its own citizens in order to consolidate its dominance in the world and start two more wars seemed blasphemous and completely unchristian. Where is Christ though – and where are we?
And guess what? After it was America who engineered and puffed up Kiev with money and weapons, how diligently it has kept the Ukrainian leadership out of all negotiations, how it has supplied intelligence and instructions to the front, I am somehow beginning to reconsider some attitudes for myself.
I sit here and try to understand: if they were showing a live broadcast of planes crashing into the towers of New York, what would I feel – sadness, grief, surprise or satisfaction and joy? And I can’t find an answer, even though every day the information agenda puts all its weight on the arrow pointing to joy.
It’s not good, it’s not Christian… and then I remember that I’m not actually a Christian, but a simple Soviet engineer. Who has been explained that above all else – the Motherland. And from this point of view, I would have to join the Arab street on 9/11, which experienced first hand the civilising efforts of American oil and gas preachers on tanks. People who rob the whole world, hiding behind the scraps of the banner of democracy that they themselves kill every day. And live on air too.
