Of the 19 hijackers who carried out the Sept 11 attacks:

15 were from Saudi Arabia (a powerful/oil-rich country the U.S. works hard to maintain diplomatic relations with)

2 were from the United Arab Emirates (also a powerful/oil-rich country the U.S. works hard to maintain diplomatic relations with)

1 was from Egypt, 1 from Lebanon.

None of the hijackers were from Iraq.

None of the Sept 11 hijackers were Iraqi.

None of the 9/11 hijackers were from Iraq.

#9/11 #serious post #not a shitpost #this should be one of the first things kids learn when they learn about the 9/11 attacks #politics #this is just...it's such an essential and brazen fact and i rarely see basic outrage over it #i want outrage. i want fury. i want disgust over the way fundamental facts are disguised and discarded and downplayed #because there are things we should KNOW. basic fact we should ALL KNOW. and they are tucked away in the footnotes.#and no this is NOT to put the blame on other middle eastern countries #we know this was carried out by a specific terrorist organization not a national government #but King George the Second decided (and was encouraged by his cabinet!) to invade a nation!#a nation that was not at all related or responsible!!!#a dictatorship to be sure--but a dictatorship that King George the First had been happy to support #so what changed? why did we go in guns blazing to DEMOLISH a country *we had NO PLANS OF REPAIRING*???#well. because they wanted a villain didn't they. a nice clean war. clarity of purpose. us the heroes against them the villains #and when you're in that mindframe--truth is irrelevant. you can pick your villain (your victim) by rolling a roulette wheel #truth is irrelevant #worse: to the people in charge #truth is a HINDRANCE #'Alternative facts' existed long before it became a catchphrase #facts don't matter. truth doesn't matter. the impulses of a handful of volatile & rich & power-high people--that's History. congratulations

American Bonaparte: Napoléon's Great-Nephew in the President's Cabinet

In June 1815, Napoléon Bonaparte’s bid for continued military glory in Europe was crushed by allied British and Prussian troops at the Battle of Waterloo. Following his surrender, the former Emperor of France had hoped that the British might allow him to live the remainder of his life in exile in the United States. However, Napoléon had already escaped exile once before (from the Mediterranean island of Elba) and once again rallied the French around him in a last-ditch effort to conquer the European continent prior to Waterloo. Unwilling to risk another vanishing act, the British instead banished Napoléon to one of the most isolated places in the world – the remote island of Saint Helena, in the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean, between Africa and South Africa – for the rest of his life.

Some of the Bonaparte family did eventually reach the United States, however. In 1905, President Theodore Roosevelt appointed Charles Joseph Bonaparte (1851-1921), the American-born grandson of Napoléon’s youngest brother, Jérôme, as the U.S. Secretary of the Navy. A year later, Roosevelt shifted Bonaparte from the Department of the Navy to the Justice Department. For the rest of Theodore Roosevelt’s Presidency, the great-nephew of the man responsible for the Napoléonic code was the United States Attorney General – America’s top law enforcement official – where he helped establish the Bureau of Investigation, better known today as the FBI.

Watching MLP:FiM as an adult is basically realizing that the show is just about a group of twenty-somethings figuring their shit out and finding their place in the world while getting into interpersonal conflicts that would do NUMBERS on r/AmITheAsshole

#aita for calling my future sister in law evil and being right?#they also basically moonlight as cabinet members of the national government but shhhhh #like one has severe anxiety issues #one has boy troubles #one is an orphan #and one is basically a single mother tutored by god #mlp #mlpfim #mlp fim #mlp: fim #my little pony #my little pony friendship is magic

Not sure if you meant for the questions to be askes BUT 9 for like iskra or something would be interesting since there is a mix of human and cardassian culture, does julian celebrate any terran holidays with them?

omg I wish I was a better worldbuilder, people come up with so many fun fake little holidays. Thanks to that one throwaway line in ST:D I've unilaterally decided that Cardassian culture is very food-centric, so you know baby Iskra got taken to lots of street food festivals celebrating military victories and elections..

Julian trying to figure out which terran holidays can be safely transported and re-potted on post-Fire Cardassia (I feel like he still tries to celebrate Federation day at home just so the kids can have some positive associations. Cue him and Lim trying to figure out how to cook a desert lungfish without soliciting their neighbors' help with removing the fibrous capsule..)

Halloween is a safe bet, I think. Scaring the spirits away is vaguely Hebetian and the locals enjoy both tricks and treats. Julian gives his coworkers at the hospital candy to distribute to her.

Still got to be lots of nationalist holidays to celebrate after the war, but now they're very much tinged with bitter memories. Now they're more of an opportunity to complain about the current administration and get drunk (both activities Iskra vigorously enjoys as an adult)

#dee s 9 #garashir adoption au #happy gul dukat day where we burn gul dukat in effigy all across the continent <3 #man i shouldve drawn that... Beat Gul Dukat With A Stick day to drive the bad spirits out of government #not seen on Halloween: lim in julians old scrubs (doctor) and 6 month old idan dressed in a beautiful kukalaka inspired snuggie garak sews #as an american who does not celebrate the 4th of july because [history major reasons] i will still do red white and blue shots. fuck da gov #iskra is less anarcho-antiestablishment than young elim... but thats cause shes like. a government agent. theyre her boss #OHHHH YOU KNOW JULIAN BREAKS OUT THE BABY PHOTOS EVERY HALLOWEEN!#Lim and garak make precious little costumes for lims half dozen kids. spreading the Halloween spirit thru the entire district #its a moment its a movement #the Castellans House is decked OUT with fake spiders and cobwebs. garak and lim united on this front #the rest of garaks cabinet. who has never seen a spider and have no idea what halloween is:#lim poking his head in does anyone want blood punch? it's normal punch. but i put grapes in painted to look like eyeballs #minister of finance: what the fuck

I don't think people realize how "democracy" has gotten in the way of progress.

Yes, in a more ideal society (with more ideal people?) This shit would all work out for the betterment of mankind and the planet.

But what do we have? A bunch of rich assholes, entitled assholes, and ignorant assholes in positions of power to fuck everyone over.

All together. Even if there are OBVIOUSLY solutions to all our ills... mf can just be like "nope. Would rather argue about the obvious"

Meanwhile the planet is on fire.

Please shut the fuck up if you know what we are currently doing is not working and it is not working fast enough

Edit: I will block you. This isn't an argument.

wow it looks like the leader of my former political party is finally calling for ceasefire! that only took two months and 17.000+ dead civilians. im glad i left them.

#wondering if this has something to do with the satisfaction survey pseudo-dad told me they sent out. he criticised their silence on #palestine in it and said it was a shame i left before getting to fill it out. yeah. i did send all of the MPs emails though. am glad they're #finally breaking free from the PM's unconditional support of israel. current government actually makes me wanna hurl #and my former party are obviously priming to. be part of the government or cabinet or whatever. as if that wasnt a catastrophe last time #and has taken almost a decade to recover from. lol. lmao even

thinking about oliver francis reeder phd director of communications to the opposition again

#and the government eventually of course. as always i am deadly serious when i say i think ollie reeder got the party back in power #because it is the longer and the lesser and more perpetual murder and also because i believe he was very very good at his job indeed #he learned from the best. and outgrew him #the new political animal demanded by the post-spin post-truth age is a slick little turncoat with no spine or principles #as chris addison himself said if you look at the cabinet– any cabinet– ollie is everywhere these days. nothing behind the eyes because #spinelessness means flexibility. and he can manoeuvre around all the bear traps that men like malcolm set because he watched him lay them #helped him. lay in them as bait. dear god. ollie reeder as spin doctor in chief and sick boycaesar is a terrifying thing indeed #as i've said i think he must have been so much worse because he had no morals. the fact he didn't know when to stop as a churlish #undergraduate of a spad became the fact he didn't give a fuck about stopping as machiavel-elect. he'd have terrorised mr tickel himself #the impact of one man. or bringing out what was already there like a babe in the belly #stand in the dock of the inquiry malcolm tucker and shake thy gory locks at him #the thick of it

uther as fantasy bob katter is very funny but also you all know bob katter does not like gay people right. you know the reason he went on the thousand blossoms bloom monologue is because he was asked about voting against marriage equality. you all get this right

#auspol #you all know he's a corrupt piece of shit right #you know he still brags about the police brutality of the joh bjelke-petersen government which he served in as a cabinet minister right
