Muggles commemorate '9/11' by believing in conspiracies

September 11 will for a long time be associated with the shattering of the American dream.

Eat as much as you want, steal as much Native land as you want and boast of your economic success. When the twin towers, the symbol of Muggle land theft, colonialism and greed fell, all these Muggle assumptions got a psychological battering. Muggles everywhere were left standing with their mouths open at the 'audacity' of the attackers.

Every year Western Muggles commemorate the 'wickedness' of the attacks on their corporate symbols, even while their governments bomb innocent women and children in developing countries without a second thought. The recent killing in a drone strike of a family of children near Kabul airport provides the perfect riposte to this sick outpouring of annual fake patriotic grief.

On this day, our condolences go out to those families in Kabul and other places around the world which have suffered from Western Muggle barbarism and war crimes, especially the long suffering people of Palestine.

No doubt the Muggles will be trotting out their usual canards of Muslimo-Islamist terrorists again. The conspiracy theory that Osama Bin Laden directed or instructed the attacks on the towers, is a favourite one, though as we all know he was holed up in Afghanistan under Taliban guard. That fact will escape the Muggles as usual, who have recently run out of Taliban controlled Afghanistan with their tails between their legs.
