13 years have come to pass since the 9/11/01 attacks on the World Trade Center towers. Americans have been left with an ‘official report’ and unanswered questions. Post 9/11 legislation has had enormous consequences for this country.

One of the biggest post 9/11 deceptions awaiting Americans following the tragedy of the attacks on the World Trade Centers was the PATRIOT ACT (an act of Congress) signed into law in 2001 by President George W. Bush. The act expands and gave to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and other federal agencies the power to search business and homes and to obtain any records without any knowledge or consent. Recently, the act has come under fire when Edward Snowden, former CIA employee and NSA contractor, exposed secret documents of how the NSA collects telephone records of virtually all Americans under the power of the Patriot Act.

At the time the Patriot Act was passed, Americans were still heavily grieving the deaths of over 3000 people, while continuing to beLIEve the official mainstream media story. At the time, Americans were told it was absolutely necessary to give law enforcement authorities and federal intelligence essential tools they would need in the war on terror.

Over the past 13 years, the Patriot Act was renewed while the nation was preoccupied with the unfolding of the 2011 Jared Lee Loughner Safeway shooting. As the nation was focused on the political rhetoric and gun control mayhem spewing out of the mainstream media platforms, the Patriot Act was quietly renewed when President Barack Obama signed four year extension of three-key provisions of the Patriot Sunsets Extension Act of 2011. This extended wiretapping, business and library record searches, and increased surveillance of ‘lone-wolf’ aka individuals suspected of terrorist activities which may or may-not be related to terrorists groups. A new meaning to domestic terrorism was spawned from 9/11.

There are lessons to be learned in the past 13 years. Putting aside all the 9/11 lies and cover-ups that are in plain site, the Patriot Act was the official act achieved that continues to destroy this nation on a day-to-day basis. The more disturbing aspect of this act lies in the hearts of the American People. Some are finding out more truths about what really happened that day, while others turn their backs, put their head in the sand, and continue to beLIEve the officially presented evidence and story. Marketing campaigns have continued to give reasons to support the Patriot Act. It is all for our Safety and Security…
