Juno News - 25 years after 9⧸11, the Left is rewriting who was to blame

00:00:00.000 On this anniversary of 9-11, there are signs Canada's legacy media and the political left

00:00:11.440 in general are attempting to revise history when it comes to assigning blame for what happened

00:00:17.400 25 years ago. The CBC issued an editorial decree insisting the 9-11 attacks were not to be referred

00:00:24.760 to as terrorism. The public broadcaster reversed itself just minutes after learning of Cabinet's

00:00:32.200 displeasure over the move. And now both far-left CTV and the Toronto Star claim Islamophobia

00:00:41.000 is the real problem, suggesting 9-11 perhaps was the result of anti-Muslim bigotry. It's another 0.99

00:00:47.960 indicator of the West's culpability here, according to certain elements of the media and the left in

00:00:54.040 General. All this may be in sympathy with elements of the far left wing of the Democrat

00:00:59.660 Party these days, which has claimed that America deserved what it got September 11, 2001.

00:01:06.700 In a video widely circulated on social media, watch New York Mayor Momdani and AOC laughing

00:01:13.920 as the names of the 9-11 victims were read at Ground Zero.

00:01:17.920 Ganesh K. Ladkut

00:01:24.920 They found something funny. Our guest today is writer and commentator Dimpy Brar.

00:01:30.920 Welcome to the show, Dimpy.

00:01:32.920 Thank you so much for having me on, Mr. Petroni.

00:01:35.920 It seems that the left in general, the media, is going down the road or taking us down the road of shared culpability here,

00:01:43.920 shared complicity, the sense that those hijackers were not really terrorists as much as they were

00:01:49.740 victims themselves, victims of Islamophobia, and it's our fault, really. Do you see them taking us

00:01:56.100 in that direction? Oh, absolutely. The greatest gift that our enemies have in the West is really

00:02:02.640 our media, especially in Canada. You see, the state media, because it is a propaganda arm of

00:02:08.280 the Liberal Party and really of leftism as a whole, is the best encapsulation of what we see

00:02:13.540 now today as the Red-Green Alliance. And that is the unholy alliance between Islam outside 1.00

00:02:19.620 and the leftists inside. And their attempt, this alliance, is really an alliance directed 0.96

00:02:25.500 against Western civilization. So as you can imagine, it doesn't surprise me at all to see

00:02:30.660 AOC and Mumdani laughing while the names are being read. In fact, they're not laughing at

00:02:36.980 the victims, they're laughing at us, really. And the fact that Mr. Mumdani could even be mayor on

00:02:42.400 for the 25th anniversary of 9-11 speaks for itself.

00:02:47.260 Yeah, I mean, you would think that he'd have a lot more of a solemn attitude.

00:02:50.980 I mean, there were a lot of people who didn't want him there and made sure that he knew it.

00:02:55.600 And he went anyway.

00:02:58.560 And you would figure that knowing that there were people who thought he didn't belong,

00:03:03.600 considering some of his past attitudes and statements,

00:03:06.260 that he would show a level of, I don't know, solemnity,

00:03:12.760 you know, he would, of respect for the victims.

00:03:16.120 And these people should know better.

00:03:18.420 They should know that there were cameras around

00:03:20.300 and many of them were trained on those two.

00:03:22.740 And they didn't seem to care.

00:03:24.420 They were going to share a joke at that particular moment

00:03:27.960 when the names were being read.

00:03:29.840 I mean, how tone deaf do you have to be?

00:03:32.780 Either tone deaf or they really don't care.

00:03:36.260 about the victims here which one is it do you think it to me the effect is the same this is

00:03:42.360 the same gentleman who while he was campaigning campaign with one of the co-conspirators of the

00:03:47.120 original 1993 world trade center bombings and he never apologized for it nor did he ever rebuke

00:03:54.060 that imam so he's very open and brazen about it and in fact i recall he was more upset i believe

00:04:00.900 he shed a fake tear when he was speaking about how his aunt was the victim allegedly of islam

00:04:06.040 post 9-11, that seemed more heartbreaking to him and more pitiable to him than anything

00:04:12.360 that's occurred on this day. And I will just point out that Mr. Mumdani joins others across

00:04:18.380 the board in Canada, actually a bipartisan consensus, whether it's even Mr. Harper,

00:04:23.720 Mr. Polyev, most certainly Mr. Carney. No one's been mentioning the elephant in the room and the

00:04:30.020 root cause. They weren't Jesuits who flew planes into the building. They weren't Catholics and

00:04:35.320 they weren't Jews. They were Muslims and it was Islam. And the very fact that we are now

00:04:40.940 mentioning and having memorials to 9-11 without mentioning Islam is something that I find

00:04:48.340 personally terrifying. That tells me that not only have we forgotten, but have we forgiven them

00:04:53.920 already? Yeah, I mean, if they could blame white supremacists for this, you know that they would

00:05:01.180 absolutely do so and this to me speaks about the general sense of self-loathing by leftists

00:05:09.240 politicians people like justin trudeau whom we saw blame canada on the alleged mass grave issue

00:05:17.340 portraying canada's genocidal and guilty of systemic racism so quick really to point fingers

00:05:24.180 at our own country is the problem you know a country that didn't even deserve to be a nation

00:05:30.440 according to him, a post-nation state.

00:05:33.200 So it just seems like so much of their enmity, hatred, negative attitudes

00:05:41.780 are directed at our nationhood, right, at our people.

00:05:46.140 And I think now it's extending to 9-11, which, I mean,

00:05:51.500 everybody was united after 9-11, you recall,

00:05:53.920 because it was obvious who was behind it, where they came from,

00:05:59.340 generally their attitudes, their anti-West attitudes.

00:06:02.840 And so over the course of 25 years of changing and wanting to portray this as different than

00:06:12.380 what we thought it was originally, we're seeing more and more of that with the CBC now coming

00:06:17.860 out a couple of weeks before or so saying, let's not call it terrorism, let's call it

00:06:25.960 of hijacking that somehow resulted in these planes hitting the towers.

00:06:34.240 And they only reversed themselves when they found out that their benefactors in the Liberal

00:06:39.080 Party and in Cabinet didn't like the move and thought it was in bad taste.

00:06:43.780 And so only then did they shift gears within really 30 minutes or so of them making that

00:06:51.560 decision.

00:06:52.560 But you know that they wanted to do it.

00:06:54.080 know I guess that's the that's the thing to bear in mind and you know given the course of another

00:06:58.860 10 years of heading in this direction eventually they'll say you know it was all our fault that

00:07:04.700 the hijackers were really victims and we deserve what we got so the very things that some of the

00:07:10.820 far-left candidates in the democrat socialists of America that you hear them say now they're

00:07:16.140 trying to bury it like they never really said it but those very things now are going to become

00:07:20.980 mainstream more and more they're gonna take those radical real lies and turn

00:07:26.140 them into fabricate the truth out of them because they think that it's more

00:07:31.060 in keeping with whatever ideological views that they have I think that's

00:07:35.380 really where they want to take us we might as well admit right now that this

00:07:39.400 is where we're being dragged although they're taking history this attack that

00:07:44.020 took place and changing it and revising it you know changing the language and

00:07:50.140 and ultimately changing cul

00:07:53.520 ourselves blame for it, t

00:07:56.120 for it 100%. I mean, let'

00:07:59.020 This is where our media,

00:08:01.360 in general is taking us an

00:08:03.880 to that fact. What say you

00:08:07.360 right. And I will just po

00:08:09.320 revisionism, like you poin

00:08:11.500 our foundings. So the fir

00:08:14.700 is the founding of the we

00:08:16.660 Western nations, and all it flows down from there. There's an obvious desacralization that's

00:08:24.500 occurring from some of the most sacred events that have taken place, and it's not going to

00:08:29.220 be restricted just to 9-11. We saw this with the 250th anniversary of the United States,

00:08:35.000 and we also are going to see it, I'm sure, on Remembrance Day when someone else is going to

00:08:39.680 hijack that event. This is across the board in Western civilization, and I like to refer to it

00:08:45.520 as the Canada model. You know, sometimes we have an inclination among Canadians to look at the DSA

00:08:53.840 or the left in America and think, well, at least we're not that bad. Actually, it's far more

00:08:59.760 accelerated in Canada. And in fact, those members of the DSA, people like Mamdani, people like AOC,

00:09:05.500 people like Bernie Sanders, they look at Canada as a model for what they intend to do in the

00:09:11.820 United States. And again, this is the first of many. Look, I spent every 9-11 for the last 10

00:09:19.940 years or so with the same ritual, which is where that I listened to the phone calls of, sorry,

00:09:27.160 I'm going to get a little emotional. I listened to the phone calls, the last phone calls that

00:09:34.140 were made by these Americans. And these were people who were burnt and roasted alive in those 0.99

00:09:40.900 buildings. They had no idea what was going on, and they did absolutely nothing to deserve it.

00:09:47.720 The date that was chosen by these Islamic, whatever you want to call them, followers of Islam, 0.97

00:09:56.980 the date that was taken is from the Battle of Vienna, which also took place on September 11th. 0.98

00:10:02.620 It was essentially the first open act of jihad against the West. That's why 9-11 seems as if 0.61

00:10:09.000 it's a rupture in history, why it seems as if nothing was ever the same again. That is when

00:10:14.260 the first opening salvo by Islam against the West was made. And it seems to me that we have not in 1.00

00:10:20.920 any way had any peace since then. We have been in a war being made against us without our choice

00:10:28.740 in the matter. And we are now just seeing that the impacts are not just militaristic, not just

00:10:34.880 economic, but that they're coming from within. Mr. Patroni, we're at a position now where it's not

00:10:41.480 terrorists who are not Americans or Canadians flying planes into buildings. We now have those

00:10:49.060 who have the same views, who hold citizenship, who vote, and now who hold electoral halls of

00:10:56.920 power. And that to me is the most terrifying change after 25 years of 9-11. I mean, you can

00:11:04.540 make the case that in a way they won because yes these terrorists hate our freedoms right yes and

00:11:13.220 what happened after 9-11 homeland security everything changed you know you couldn't get

00:11:19.740 on a plane with just a driver's license like you know those who traveled you're pretty young

00:11:25.220 i don't know how old you were at the time but um everything changed after that you know we became

00:11:32.580 more of a fearful uh you know the west was always free we really enjoyed the things that we had

00:11:41.180 and the people who hated us wanted to take those things away and lo and behold you know the measures

00:11:48.260 that we took to protect ourselves ended up taking many of the freedoms away you know there were all

00:11:54.980 sorts of attacks on gun rights for instance you know attacks on free speech you know that we've

00:12:02.560 seen a censorship that came in obviously it wasn't as we wouldn't have the internet you know to the

00:12:08.680 same degree obviously in 2001 that came later but all these measures aimed supposedly at protecting

00:12:16.540 people really were, you know, resulted in taking things away, taking freedoms away,

00:12:25.060 restricting people. So the very things that these Islamic terrorists hated, you know, 0.97

00:12:34.140 in a way were eroded as a result of their actions, which is probably something that they would have 0.96

00:12:40.880 wanted all along anyway. And what are we seeing now? We're seeing rampant, you know, anti-Semitism.

00:12:46.540 We're seeing attacks on churches.

00:12:51.320 You know, all these things that these people secretly wanted and pushed for have come about since 9-11.

00:12:59.900 And so in that respect, anyway, you can make the case that those who committed these atrocities got at least some of what they wanted.

00:13:11.700 And on the other hand, you have people say, well, you know, there hasn't been another 9-11 since then.

00:13:18.220 And I guess there's a level of truth to that, that the measures that were taken, you know, protected us.

00:13:24.660 Because at the time, people said, well, this is just the first.

00:13:27.860 You know, there's going to be a bunch of attacks to follow.

00:13:31.360 And that didn't really happen.

00:13:33.460 That did not happen.

00:13:34.320 there were wars obviously in iraq and afghanistan and so forth that you know continue to this day

00:13:43.760 but um i think there is a level of ambivalence about how we responded to these attacks

00:13:53.440 and the fact that the left and the media is trying to revise it to make us you know culpable

00:14:02.480 I think is just the lowest of the low. And we really see it in these two people laughing

00:14:09.620 during the reading of these, the names of these victims. Last word to you, Dimpy. 0.94

00:14:14.920 Well, I would just also point out that those people on the left have collaborators on the

00:14:19.500 right as well. When you fail to mention Islam today and any attack regarding the terrorist

00:14:25.600 attacks or in commemorating 9-11, you are silently collaborating knowingly or not with that left and

00:14:31.280 helping them reinforce this kind of revised narrative. I would like to point out that only

00:14:35.900 six days after 9-11, President Bush went to the Islamic center and proclaimed Islam as a religion

00:14:43.860 of peace. That is what he was more concerned about. And I think therein lies the problem.

00:14:50.340 We were more concerned about hurting some people's feelings than we were about the 3,000 souls we

00:14:56.820 lost that day in many ways mr petroni we didn't just lose but we betrayed those people and their

00:15:03.360 memories and a lot of people today are speaking of how we should never forget well i say we should

00:15:09.320 never forgive and that's the key yeah and the very people who claimed that all these security

00:15:14.940 measures were intended to protect us were the same people who opened the borders you know anybody in

00:15:20.980 right well you know you know what could i i'm sorry to interrupt but could i add a little

00:15:26.700 fun fact not a fun fact about this whole uh what happened on 9-11 apparently allegedly and i'm

00:15:34.420 forgetting their names unfortunately when these men these terrorists showed up at the desk to get

00:15:41.200 onto the plane the person who was dealing with their passports felt uncomfortable with them

00:15:46.900 because she or he felt that they seemed very aggressive and off,

00:15:52.600 but they didn't want to be accused of racially profiling them,

00:15:57.800 so they let them on. 0.74

00:16:00.700 So Islamophobia, in many ways, again, is a rational fear. 0.86

00:16:05.620 And to be having it used as a cudgel against the West right now,

00:16:09.680 for that to be even on anyone's tongues or lips today is, again,

00:16:14.200 Nothing short of a betrayal of not only our American friends, but the Canadians who died and the attack on Western civilization that has occurred since then. 0.85

00:16:23.500 Yeah. And for these liberal pundits to decry the rise of, quote unquote, far right, you know, populist governments and parties across Europe, South America, you know, all you have to do is look at what has been done to our countries since that happened.

00:16:47.460 with regards to the bringing in of people

00:16:51.360 with radically different values

00:16:54.080 than the ones that our countries were built with.

00:16:57.700 You know what I mean?

00:16:59.700 We're under attack, you know?

00:17:01.980 What happened at 9-11 has continued in another form,

00:17:05.800 you know what I mean?

00:17:06.820 Whether it's open borders or wokeness

00:17:12.060 or, you know, this push against Islamophobia or whatever, 0.59

00:17:16.480 Or this self-loathing sense that, you know, it's our fault and if you don't want certain people here or you don't want as many as we've been getting, let's have immigration, but let's keep the numbers at a level that we can absorb safely rather than open the doors wide open.

00:17:34.420 You have to get the sense that the people in charge of our nation, of the West, many of these globalists are deliberately targeting our country, you know?

00:17:43.460 Yes. And one of the fears of September 11th that I've always held is that we cannot return to the

00:17:50.280 delusions of September 10th. We cannot, as Western civilization has now taught us and what 9-11

00:17:57.160 should have taught us, that we have real and true enemies who hate us. And yes, that means they want

00:18:02.640 to destroy and kill us. And those enemies will always exist. They come in different forms, 0.99

00:18:08.300 whether it's islam ccp globalism or leftism but they'll always be there but we cannot return to 0.99

00:18:14.380 the delusions of september 10th and think that we can forget what happened on september 11th 0.86

00:18:20.300 yeah i mean the populist movements really are about trying to take back our country

00:18:25.580 and trying to go back to what we had you know before september 11th i think anyway jimpy thank
