The far-left New York Times reports it was “airplanes” that took aim at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 — not Islamic terrorists.
No kidding, this is what the New York Times published on Wednesday, the 18th anniversary of that terrible day: “Eighteen years have passed since airplanes took aim at the World Trade Center and brought them down.”
A tweet published by the Times on Wednesday announced the same bombshell: “18 years have passed since airplanes took aim and brought down the World Trade Center.”
Without bothering to retract the extraordinary news nearly 3000 Americans were the victims of airplanes that had suddenly became sentient, the Times deleted the tweet and rewrote the article.
Naturally, the article still withholds holds the crucial information about exactly who the terrorists were: “Eighteen years have passed since terrorists commandeered airplanes to take aim at the World Trade Center and bring them down,” it now reads.
But nowhere in the piece will you read the words “Islam” or even “al Qaeda.”
This is what Orwell called memory-holing, a deliberate act that involves the Powerful rewriting the past by erasing the past, all in the hope of controlling the future.

So, if we had only outlawed air travel and destroyed Boeing the war on terror would have been unnecessary. A “common sense” war on terror.
At least their headline wasn’t “18 Years Since Some People Did Something” but they’re probably saving that for the 20th anniversary.
I guess it’s also been 7 years since some fire and rockets killed 4 Americans in Benghazi.
Guns taught airplanes learned how to kill people. They need to be kept apart so that can’t happen again.
