    I'm like 90% certain most or all of this has previously come out, and it was exactly these fuck ups to share information and act on it that lead to the drastic Patriot-Act era re-structuring of US intelligence at all levels from the "This agency does not exist" level down though the CIA, NSA, NRO, the military intel units, on down to state and local police, all to ensure that the intelligence agencies would stop siloing their intel and research and be forced to communicate information and cooperate.

    Like it's been known for a long, long time that between them the US intel community had everything they needed to stop 9/11 from happening, but due to inter-agency rivalries and the siloing of information no one person or group had access to all the intelligence that was spread across the whole spookshow.

    So after 9/11 they went in and shook up how the intel agencies communicate, created shit like the Joint Fusion Centers that create a direct line from the highest levels of federal intelligence down to county sheriffs and local cops, shit like htat.

      I don't know it's too many coincidences to ignore for me. I used to be ambivalent about 9/11 and thought it was just allowed to happen to create pretext for war but shiiiiiiieeeeeeeet

      All this? All what you said? NORAD being scheduled to run simulations of plane hijackings that were postponed and rescheduled to instead run on the morning of 9/11? Nah. NAAAAAAAH. I'm now firmly in the camp that it was done on purpose and the American government had some partial level of control and influence over it even happening to begin with.
