What various attacks in the 90s?

Guess you weren't alive. Oklahoma City bombing,Waco,a bunch of oversea car bombs,Columbine,threats to blow up airliners (luckily that never panned out).etc. Oh and the 1993 WTC bombing which was actually meant to knock the pillars out and take out the north tower in broad daylight. The attack didn't go right. The bomb was meant to release poison gas but it also didn't work right so a bunch of smoke was released thru the vents instead. Later during a secretly taped interview where the FBI didn't know it was taped till much later were told that there would be a bigger attack on the place later and they'd make sure it didn't survive.

Oklahoma City bombing didn't come out of nowhere, despite the media's constant message that it happened for no reason at all. The date was exactly two years to the day after the US federal government attacked and burned down the Branch Davidians, and the federal building was where the terrorism was planned.

Columbine was non-political and had more to do with being bullied unceasingly.

I felt that things started changing in the mid to late 90's. Columbine and 9/11 were big motivators. Things like "zero-tolerance" where kids would essentially get "cancelled/de-platformed" because everything was considered a weapon and threat. Helped to condition a generation that would be less willing to fight back against an oppressive system.

Besides the massive wars in the Middle East. Things were fairly chill until Obama's 2nd term when the SJW rhetoric started turning up to 11.

And this was mainly a response to Occupy Wall Street. The ruling powers would much rather have people talking about tranny bathrooms than their financial vampirism.

If you follow the money trail OWS wounded up being orchestrated by Soros to make a long story short.

Well put. It seemed the mid to late 90s was a major change for the political platforms. I don't know if it was out of control change to the elites or if they helped nudged things along this whole time though the Obama's 2nd term was when the gas peddle was pushed harder and after Trump they put on the Nitro pack.

If it was out of control they had to make things up on the spot. I think the computer industry was a surprise and a shock when terrorists were using it in the middle east in the mid 00s so it got governments and internet companies to start cracking down and double down. They had an 'alarm clock' moment in their heads.

This is a ridiculous conspiracy theory post. What is with you people and your bizarre stream of consciousness rambling posts?

What is with you and your 30 second video posts that are Twitter crap?

That's whataboutism. You neither addressed nor refuted the topic.
