‘US🇺🇸 Empire Falling Fast, May Be Unsalvageable’ – Col. Lawrence Wilkerson on Afghanistan, 9/11

Sep 15, 2021 • We speak to Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, former Chief of Staff to US Secretary State Colin Powell. He discusses 9/11 20 years on including the initial reaction to 9/11, how fear and rage drove the Bush Administration’s response to the terror attacks, the military-industrial complex and its desire for endless war which in part fuelled the expansion of NATO, how the US military sabotaged Joe Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan and made it look chaotic, how 9/11 can be laid at the feet of Saudi Arabia who he considers the biggest state sponsors of terror, Biden’s executive orders to declassify 9/11 documents and much more!

11-Septembre : des leçons pour l’Amérique

LE MONDE : Editorial du « Monde ». Vingt ans plus tard, sonnés par leurs erreurs, les Etats-Unis se replient pour mieux se redéployer ensuite. Il leur faudra pour cela panser les plaies d’une société profondément divisée.

Editorial du « Monde ». Lorsque, le 11 septembre 2001, deux avions de ligne ont percuté les tours jumelles du World Trade Center, les Etats-Unis étaient au zénith de leur moment unipolaire. Auréolée de sa victoire de la guerre froide, de sa prospérité économique et de sa suprématie technologique après avoir lancé la révolution numérique, la puissance américaine paraissait solidement installée au faîte du monde.

Les attaques quasi simultanées menées ce matin-là par les terroristes d’Al-Qaida à New York et contre le Pentagone à Washington, qui ont coûté la vie à près de 3 000 personnes, tandis qu’un quatrième avion s’écrasait en Pennsylvanie, ont changé les Etats-Unis. La façon dont ils ont réagi a changé le monde. » | Éditorial du « Monde » | vendredi 10 septembre 2021

Commémoration des 20 ans du 11-Septembre : l'Amérique en quête d'unité

LE FIGARO : Joe Biden a défendu le retrait des troupes américaines d'Afghanistan alors que Donald Trump a dénoncé son «incompétence». George W. Bush a quant à lui souligné la désunion du pays, évoquant des «forces du mal» à l'œuvre.

L'Amérique a commémoré ce samedi le 11-Septembre en rendant hommage aux quelque 3000 personnes tuées il y a 20 ans dans les pires attentats de l'histoire, des attaques djihadistes contre la première puissance mondiale aujourd'hui politiquement fracturée et en quête d'unité.

Une cérémonie très solennelle, qui a toutefois laissé une grande place aux émotions, s'est tenue quatre heures durant sous un ciel bleu limpide - comme lors de ce funeste matin du mardi 11 septembre 2001 - au très impressionnant musée mémorial de Manhattan, à New York, là où se dressaient les tours jumelles du World Trade Center détruites par les avions suicides d'Al-Qaïda. » | Par Le Figaro avec AFP | samedi 11 septembre 2021

America Mourns as Leaders and Families Mark 20th Anniversary of 9/11 Attacks

Some wept. Some held photos of loved ones At 8.46am, precisely two decades after a passenger plane became a new and deadly weapon here, all fell silent in remembrance.

Families of the victims gathered at the 9/11 memorial plaza in New York on Saturday to mark the 20th anniversary of terrorist attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people and helped shape the 21st century.

The sombre ceremony in bright sunshine that was eerily reminiscent of 11 September 2001 was attended by Joe Biden and former presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama along with victims’ families and first responders. Many wore face masks because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Biden had hoped that the milestone anniversary could provide a much-needed moment of national unity after ending the war in Afghanistan, launched to root out al-Qaida, which carried out the attacks. But anger is still raw over the the chaotic withdrawal and return to power of the Taliban.

The 9/11 memorial plaza at the former World Trade Center site includes cascading water in the footprints of the twin towers. Mourners placed flowers on the names of the dead inscribed in bronze. » | David Smith in Washington | Saturday, September 11, 2021

The emotional scars of Sept. 11 are still there, but so is the memory of a simple act of kindness. »

11-Septembre : l'histoire glaçante derrière la photographie du «Falling Man» »

Trauer und Ratlosigkeit auch zwanzig Jahre nach dem 11. September: An den Gedenkfeiern zum Jahrestag der Terroranschläge von 2001 ist inständig an die Einheit aller Amerikaner appelliert worden. Bewegende Reden, Schweigeminuten und das Verlesen der Namen der 3000 Todesopfer bei Ground Zero konnten jedoch nicht über die Risse hinwegtäuschen, die die USA durchziehen. »

The Guardian View on the 20th Anniversary of 9/11: No End in Sight

THE GUARDIAN – EDITORIAL: The devastating al-Qaida attack, and America’s response, had far-reaching consequences which are still developing

An American flag flies near the base of the destroyed World Trade Center. ‘On 9/11, the country transitioned from a dream of unending tranquility at home to a nightmare of forever war.’ Photograph: Peter Morgan/Reuters
Anew and deadly era began when the planes sliced into the twin towers on the morning of 11 September 2001. That evening, the historian Tony Judt wrote that he had seen the 21st century begin. The nearly 3,000 lives stolen by al-Qaida were only a small part of the toll. The horror began a chain of events that has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives, including huge numbers of civilians abroad and many US military personnel. It is still unfolding.

If the killing of the plot’s mastermind Osama bin Laden a few months before the 10th anniversary perhaps let some hope that an end to that new era might be in sight, there can be no such false confidence at the 20th. The establishment of a Taliban government in Kabul, two decades after the US ousted the militants for harbouring Bin Laden, has underscored two things: that far from reasserting its global supremacy, the US looks more vulnerable today; and that the echoes of 9/11 are still reverberating across the region – but will not stay there. » | Editorial | Friday, September 10, 2021

11 septembre 2001 : le récit d’un attentat terroriste historique

Sep 8, 2021 • Il y a vingt ans, les Etats-Unis étaient frappés par les attentats du 11-Septembre.

Ce sont les plus meurtriers de l’histoire. Ce jour-là, dix-neuf terroristes parviennent à détourner quatre avions de ligne. Ils les font s’écraser sur les tours jumelles du World Trade Center, à New York, sur le Pentagone à Washington, et dans un champ de Pennsylvanie. Le bilan est inédit dans l’histoire du terrorisme : 2 977 morts.

Grâce à des cartes, des vidéos et des images de l’époque, Le Monde vous raconte heure par heure le déroulement de ces attaques qui entraîneront un mois plus tard l’invasion de l’Afghanistan par l’armée américaine. L’objectif affiché à l’époque par l’administration de George W. Bush est d’y traquer Oussama Ben Laden, le leader d’Al-Qaida.

Biden ordnet Freigabe von 9/11-Dokumenten an

FRANKFURTER ALLGEMEINE ZEITUNG: Was steht in den geheimen Dokumenten des FBI über die Anschläge des 11. September? Angehörige fordern seit Jahren Transparenz. Nun will der Präsident ein Versprechen einlösen.

Der amerikanische Präsident Joe Biden hat das Justizministerium angewiesen, Dokumente aus der FBI-Untersuchung zu den Anschlägen vom 11. September zu überprüfen und freizugeben. „Als ich für das Amt des Präsidenten kandidierte, habe ich mich verpflichtet, für Transparenz bei der Freigabe von Dokumenten über die Terroranschläge vom 11. September 2001 auf Amerika zu sorgen“, sagte Biden am Freitag in einer Erklärung. Da sich der 20. Jahrestag dieses tragischen Tages nun nähere, halte er sich an diese Verpflichtung. Justizminister Merrick Garland beaufsichtige die Überprüfung der Freigabe von Dokumenten im Zusammenhang mit der Untersuchung des FBI, erklärte Biden. Deswegen müsse der Justizminister freigegebene Dokumente in den kommenden sechs Monaten veröffentlichen. » | Quelle: Reuters | Samstag, 4. September 2021

20 Jahre 9/11 – eine Zäsur? | Sternstunde Religion | SRF Kultur

Aug 31, 2021 • Zwei Jahrzehnte nach 9/11: Die Taliban haben Kabul eingenommen und regieren in Afghanistan. Es sind Bilder des Schreckens: Zu Tausenden versuchen Menschen am Flughafen von Kabul vor der Machtübernahme der islamistischen Taliban zu fliehen. Was mit einem furchtbaren Terroranschlag begann, endet in einem instabilen, religiös politisierten Mittleren Osten.

Vor 20 Jahren, Ende September 2001, rief der damalige US-Präsident George W. Bush den Krieg gegen den Terror aus. Kurz davor geschah das Undenkbare: Entführte Passagierflugzeuge sorgten vor den Augen der Weltbevölkerung für den grössten Terroranschlag auf US- amerikanischem Boden. 9/11 ging ins kollektive Gedächtnis ein.

Kurz danach begann der Krieg gegen al-Qaida und die Taliban in Afghanistan. 20 Jahre später ziehen sich die USA und ihre Verbündeten überstürzt aus Afghanistan zurück. Was die Truppen zurücklassen, nennen einige verbrannte Erde, andere sehen im Fall Afghanistan einmal mehr das Scheitern des Nationbuilding und die Arroganz des Westens.

Ist das das Ende des Westens, wie wir ihn kannten oder «nur» das Ende des Kolonialismus? War der 11. September 2001 eine Zeitenwende? Und: Warum lässt sich ausgerechnet «der Islam» so gut extremistisch vereinnahmen? Darüber spricht Olivia Röllin mit den Islamwissenschaftlern Ahmad Milad Karimi und Stefan Weidner.

"Will the 9/11 Case Finally Go to Trial?": Andrew Cockburn on New Evidence Linking Saudis to Attacks

As the nation marks the 16th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, questions still swirl about the role of Saudi Arabia in the attacks. The 9/11 attack was carried out by 19 hijackers, 15 of whom were from Saudi Arabia. Sixteen years after the attacks, 9/11 families and survivors are continuing their efforts to take Saudi Arabia to trial. Just this week, the New York Post reported new evidence presented in the case alleging the Saudi Embassy in Washington, D.C., funded a "dry run" of 9/11 two years before the attacks. The families’ lawyers say the new allegations offer "a pattern of both financial and operational support" by the Saudi government. We speak with Andrew Cockburn, whose latest piece is headlined "Crime and Punishment: Will the 9/11 case finally go to trial?"

Inside Story - Is the War on Terror Failing?

The topic of terrorism has been at the forefront of world politics for many years. Attacks on western soil dominate the news for weeks after they happen, and the Iraq and Syria wars against ISIL is regularly centrestage on our TV screens.

The subject was on the agenda at the recent BRICS conference in China, and will debated at the upcoming UN General Assembly. This week it's catapulted back into the spotlight for an obvious reason, the 16th anniversary of 9/11.

The September 11 attacks in the United States in 2001 have largely defined U.S. foreign policy since, and affected lives throughout the world. Almost 3000 people were killed when hijackers flew planes into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon.

And the attacks triggered a series of events including new wars, new immigration policies, and new prejudices.
