This day changed the world forever. As corny as these words may sound, but this is clearly the case. And of course the matter is not at terrorism which was, is, and likely always will be and its victims are civilians. Events of the fourteen-year-old forced the Western world openly to renounce the fundamental declarations of priority civil liberties over security and the results of this failure instantly reflected not only in Western countries, but also on the device of civilization in general.
It just so happened that the people who yesterday spoke about the personal space and the intervention of the state into private life, ran headlong to install security cameras. Now they humbly undresses almost to goal going through security at airports; call the police finding forgotten on the bus stop bag and even are very ready to be fingerprinted. They do not complain — such times and for the benefit of all this is “for our safety”.
Prior to the tragedy in New York mankind has lived a relatively prosperous decade. The exception was the only countries of the former USSR, because of this prosperity was achieved at our expense. Countries of the former Yugoslavia fell out of “safe” too. There as in Donbas today for the welfare of the “civilized” world we had to pay tens of thousands of human lives. Then in a prosperous world of castrated aggression from a large section of the capitalist pie the masters of the world-80s — PMCs – were pushed by. Even Private Security Firms began to turn into “sharashka” employment of disabled slobs and drunks. Obviously this situation could not last for long — only while there was extensive development of the world system due to the end of the Cold War and conversion.
And now the events of September 2001 radically changed the situation. The world panicked and services to provide security once again become a lucrative business. And yet trade of related products and equipment in the production of which a technological breakthrough happened. Not without the help of the state of course. It under the noble pretext imposed new safety rules. The result: the number of surveillance cameras, smoke detectors and other imposed under these new rules of goods exceeds in the developed countries the population. Monitoring and surveillance adopted a truly Orwellian’ proportions – what yesterday seemed as dystopia now is taken for granted.
Who benefits — think for yourself. I’m not going to list well-known interpretations and repeat the arguments in their support. Just remind that the official version has been challenged repeatedly and convincingly. But, alas, supporters of the official version were not even trying to prove their point of view using arguments; they use grimaces, gestures, hints, shortcuts, accusations of madness. To challenge the official interpretation was ashamed and bad for the reputation. Moreover in respect of dissenters in the matter of citizens it was applied a classic set of totalitarian methods. From punitive psychiatry — Western magazines insist that relatives of overly active whistleblowers to pay attention to the mental health of their loved ones, to eliminate – a terrible fate befell dozens of alternative researchers of the terrorist attack of the eleventh of September. The most famous is the writer Hunter Thompson – author of world renown, the winner of many literary awards. He is the real, in a good way, American, a stubborn individualist who devote his live to defending his own principles in a world of hypocrisy; he put a bullet in the forehead in the process of revelatory documentary. According to the official version Thompson just didn’t want to get old. Confirmations were the last words left on the screen of the computer a minute before the ill-fated shot: “football season is over”. And although the death of the writer caught him at the annual column about the final North American soccer League, it was the favorite hobby of the writer for a dozen years; these words have given a completely different meaning.
However, the elimination in the era of struggle with the bogey of terrorism has become commonplace. The President of the United States, in particular, has achieved the legal right to “order” anyone at all — both in the U.S. and any other point of the globe. And eliminates didn’t force, this time revealing, long to wait. The destruction of terrorists of Osama bin Laden by a detachment of U.S. Marines remembered everyone. But not everyone remembers that the Marines — liquidators, a month later died under mysterious circumstances. All of them in full force. Moreover not all know that according to declassified reports of Pakistani intelligence that the leader of “al-Qaeda” not the first month was kept under house arrest and under the supervision of the Pakistani authorities. So to take him alive it was not easy. Probably indicative of the murder was more important than facts that could give the terrorist number one.
Indeed the fighting terrorism was worse than terrorism itself. And we in the Donbas know this better than most and both the famous the relativity label “terrorist”. So people threw Molotov cocktails to the police on the Maidan, involving government buildings and threatening violence to the President the terrorists were not recognized. But our protest against the illegal seizure of power through armed terror and a plebiscite on secession from Ukraine declared terror. A civil war which was started by the Kiev “putschists” in Novorossia called anti-terrorist operation. It does not matter that it is conducted with the use of heavy artillery against civilians. That is just the ATO that the image of the enemy was extended to all without discrimination — the elderly, children, women. And as for me, a man repeatedly accused of terrorism, it is more than obvious. Therefore as the honored “terrorist of Donbas” I call in connection with this date to honor the memory of Americans, who died under the rubble of the world Trade Center in New York and Afghans, who were killed by the U.S. drone attacks, and the Syrians with the Iranians, who lost their homes due to American anti-terrorist operation in the middle East, and our countrymen: all victims of terror and all victims of anti-terrorist operations what often find themselves worse than any terror.
