Unfortunately, in addition to the thousands of lives lost on 9/11, there was another tragedy because liberty also died on that fateful day.
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA). The Patriot Act. The Patriot Act II. Spying on Americans by the National Security Agency (NSA). Fake cell towers to tap your cell phone. These and many other attacks on liberty began under George W. Bush — one of the many evidences that “compassionate conservative” was really code for “progressive” — and grew under Barack Obama.
The post-9/11 liberty-killing trend continued under Donald Trump. In a piece I wrote in 2017 commemorating 9/11, I documented the host of ways that Trump — he claims he predicted 9/11 in his book The America We Deserve — was keeping Bush’s and Obama’s terrorism policies in place.
Under the “leadership” of Donald Trump and the Republican Party, we witnessed the creation of the US Cyber Command within the NSA, an idea originally proposed by Obama that gave the agency greater power to spy on Americans. Trump also reauthorized FISA-702 to give the NSA authority to conduct warrantless electronic surveillance on Americans.
Government’s liberty-killing agenda began post-9/11, but COVID tyranny is helping complete the task.
In an piece I wrote in March 2020 about coronavirus bringing an end to liberty and the beginning of tyranny, I referenced an article written by John Whitehead, the founder and president of the Rutherford Institute. It is Whitehead’s contention (and mine as well) that COVID tyranny is leading to the creation of a full-blown police state.

It’s an indisputable fact that socialism and tyranny have grown during this so-called pandemic.
Ivanka Trump’s feminist socialist dream of government-mandated paid family leave has become a reality. One of the first coronavirus bailouts — Families First Coronavirus Response Act — included taxpayer-funded paid family leave and provisions for taxpayer-funded sick leave.
Socialist ideals such as prison reform, so-called gun control, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal have also seen major advances.
9/11 brought us the PATRIOT Act, so it was with a bit of irony that COVID tyranny brought us a Patriot Act for healthcare , a plan created by Jared Kushner. Under his plan, a government/private sector partnership would be formed to create a new “surveillance and data collection system” used to trackcoronavirus Americans.
Apple and Google have been developing new hardware and software that will give Kushner exactly what he wants. And while the two tech giants claim that their tracking system will completely protect privacy, protecting privacy has never been the prime directive. The whole point of creating a Patriot Act for healthcare is to make the names, phone numbers, and locations of people available to the government in real-time.
Parts of Kushner’s plan have become a reality in the form of vaccine passports. Earlier this year, we learned that digital COVID vaccine passports were being jointly developed by a group of health and technology companies under the belief that governments and businesses would soon require proof of being vaccinated before being allowed to return to “normal.”
In July 2021 we learned how vaccine passports were being used as a model to replace the credit report system with a totalitarian “social credit system” like the one used in Communist China. Some of the areas tracked in real time by China’s “social credit system” are (via New Horizons):
* Medical history
* Social media posts and internet search history
* Bank accounts and credit cards
* Residence, employment, and criminal history
* Relationships and religious activities
* Political activity
This information is continuously fed to a central database where it is used to create a “social credit score” that is used to reward or punish citizens.
On this 20th anniversary of 9/11, it’s a sad irony that Joe Biden has identified a new terrorist threat: Americans exercising their God-given constitutionally protected right to free speech. And just as government did in the days following the 9/11 attacks, Biden is looking for ways to take another chunk out of liberty in response.
In a terrorism threat advisory released last month by Biden and his Department of Homeland Security (DHS), they determined that people pushing “anti-government rhetoric” — including people standing in “opposition to COVID measures” — would be classified as “domestic terrorists.”
