The early aughts are back, Baby!
As soon as hordes of woke dorks started posting appreciative TikTok videos about Osama bin Laden’s forgotten 2001 “Letter to America,” it got yanked off the Internet faster than a box cutter out of your carry-on luggage. These young people were finding common ground with Osama, agreeing with him that America was bad, and nodding along to his claim that he was acting morally when he avenged the Palestinians by killing 3000 people on 9/11.
Hang on a second—are you telling me that young people—fully indoctrinated by far-left, America-hating Marxists from age 4 to age 21—are suddenly rediscovering nasty things Osama had to say about Jews, Israel, and the United States—and like it?
TikTok America’s reaction to the Hamas massacre on October 7th is all the proof you need that they have always been Osama’s minions deep down. Like Osama, they’ve always hated Israel, and now it’s finally okay to say so. They’ve always believed the Palestinians were justified in “reclaiming their land.”
They’ve always rejected American support for Israel. They’ve always had mixed feelings about their citizenship, anyway. AmeriKKAA suxx! Plymouth Rock landed on us!
Tuesday night’s violent riot at the DNC headquarters in D.C. injured multiple police officers. The rioters went berserk, screaming and ranting. Maybe that Wegovy shortage has gotten to them, or maybe the toxoplasmosis from their cat box finally got into their frontal lobe.
The craziest rioters I saw on the videos were the frizzy haired wine aunts, who have traded in their Women’s March pussy hats for freshly purchased Kaffiyahs, the must-have fall accessory for every Crazed Nasty Woman With a Chip on Her Shoulder the Size of a Buick.
Like this happy, well-adjusted person:
Some peace protest. I like my peace protests to be mostly peaceful, but I guess that’s just me.
The people at this riot probably haven’t read Osama’s letter in a while. Most of them probably never have. But they don’t need to—they’ve been guzzling the Osama worldview like it was the last pumpkin spice macchiato of the season ever since elementary school.
They were born in the Osama worldview, molded by it.
Since the published version of the Osama letter got scrubbed from The Guardian’s website, and I had trouble finding it, you can find it at this link for the time being, until it’s scrubbed again. I believe in free speech, unlike our friends at the Guardian (which ironically is staffed by America-hating Marxists who also agree with every word Osama wrote!)
I read it again for the first time since it first surfaced a few months after 9/11. I remember news stories about the letter in which Osama put the blame for 9/11 squarely on American foreign meddling in the Middle East and support for Israel.
Of course, even at the time, even on the actual day of 9/11, many Americans also blamed the United States for 9/11.
Recall Barack and Michelle Obama’s spiritual advisor, the man who set them up and eventually married them at his Chicago church, preaching that 9/11 was “America’s chickens coming home to roost.” Wright uses the very same argument Osama made: America’s indiscriminate bombing of civilians all over the world and heavy handed military involvement in poorer, browner countries had made us Enemy Number One. 9/11 was just us getting a taste of what we had delivered to so many poor brown people around the world.
Very little daylight between Rev. Jeremiah Wright and bin Laden there.
9/11 is the event that finally burned away my residual, inch-deep college liberalism and turned me into a fully red-pilled political conservative. On the very evening of 9/11, students from NYU were already burning the American flag in Union Square, just blocks north of Ground Zero where crushed bodies were burning. I saw that and thought, well, I’m not one of them anymore. My youthful luxury beliefs had been replaced with ice cold adult realities, in a single moment.
“America Was Never Great”
The idea that America was never great, has always been the Great Satan of the world, is not therefore a new idea that 20-somethings just stumbled on yesterday on TikTok. For literally decades, American college campuses and progressive cities have been in lockstep on a single issue: the United States is evil and must be overthrown. This is not new to the Internet, to our society, or to social media.
It’s simply new to some retarded NPC millennials.
Did we all somehow forget that the entire American Media Complex applauded the brave America-hating athletes who refused to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance? You were literally Satan if you didn’t take a knee. Did we forget this just was like the thing you did to gain entry to trigger elite media worship?
In 2018, Governor Andrew Cuomo said America was never that great, in response to Donald Trump’s MAGA campaign slogan.
In 2020, liberals were burning the flag outside Trump Tower, screaming “America was never great!”
As an America First, MAGA populist, I love this country. I am so thankful to be American. I fly the flag on my house. I long to hashtag RETVRN to the days when America was great, and my only political goal is to, yes, make America great again.
But. However.
Let’s now separate classical “America” as a political ideal and cultural heritage from the despicable supervillains in the driver’s seat.
My total disillusionment with the Washington bureaucratic establishment by now is almost complete.
My disillusionment started during the Obama presidency, naturally. I started to disavow my 2002-era support for the Iraq War. And starting in 2015, I started to see that I, too, had been brainwashed by years of patriotic blandishments. I had been blind to my own country’s craven foreign policy, its nonstop unwinnable wars of choice, its total inability to choose peace and diplomacy over shareholder dividends and commissions from Raytheon and Lockheed Martin, and its descent into corrupt banana republic tactics in a Keystone Cops attempt to imprison the one guy who dared exposed their weaknesses.
The people who “tore down” (Bush’s words) the World Trade Center never did hear from all of us soon. We killed a bunch of Taliban, then left them all our weapons and gave them Afghanistan. We invaded an unrelated country on false pretenses and a family beef. KSM has yet to face trial and probably never will. We’ll never know which FBI informants or agents were harboring the hijackers in the U.S. We’re not even allowed to ask. Trust me, I too had a reckoning when I realized how wrong I’d been.
Osama to U.S.: We are Never, Ever, Ever Getting Back Together
Back to the Osama missive. How bad is it? In a way it’s a disappointed religious fundamentalist father scolding his wayward, dissolute son. It’s a Dear John letter for the ages. It’s not quite the level of Napoleon’s letter to Josephine, but it’s almost as lurid.
Most of it is ranting about the fate of the Palestinians and vowing total destruction of America for our many sins. Why, this letter could step smartly into the Harvard faculty lounge! It sounds like the thesis statement of the average Yale liberal arts major, frankly. Purple prose like:
“The creation and continuation of Israel is one of the greatest crimes, and you are the leaders of its criminals. And of course there is no need to explain and prove the degree of American support for Israel. The creation of Israel is a crime which must be erased. Each and every person whose hands have become polluted in the contribution towards this crime must pay its*price, and pay for it heavily. It brings us both laughter and tears to see that you have not yet tired of repeating your fabricated lies that the Jews have a historical right to Palestine, as it was promised to them in the Torah. Anyone who disputes with them on this alleged fact is accused of anti-semitism. This is one of the most fallacious, widely-circulated fabrications in history. The blood pouring out of Palestine must be equally revenged. You must know that the Palestinians do not cry alone; their women are not widowed alone; their sons are not orphaned alone.
So far, this is all in line with the Intersectional Studies major at Brown. This is literally what UCLA and Berkeley PhD students have been chanting (in less articulate language) for the last month.
But then there are the awkward parts. The bits that the TikTok Al-Qaeda Brigade is gonna have to ignore. Stuff like:
We call you to be a people of manners, principles, honour, and purity; to reject the immoral acts of fornication, homosexuality, intoxicants, gambling's, and trading with interest.
We call you to all of this that you may be freed from that which you have become caught up in; that you may be freed from the deceptive lies that you are a great nation, that your leaders spread amongst you to conceal from you the despicable state to which you have reached.
You are a nation that permits the production, trading and usage of intoxicants. You also permit drugs, and only forbid the trade of them, even though your nation is the largest consumer of them.
You are a nation that permits acts of immorality, and you consider them to be pillars of personal freedom. You have continued to sink down this abyss from level to level until incest has spread amongst you, in the face of which neither your sense of honour nor your laws object.
You are a nation that exploits women like consumer products or advertising tools calling upon customers to purchase them. You use women to serve passengers, visitors, and strangers to increase your profit margins. You then rant that you support the liberation of women.
You are a nation that practices the trade of sex in all its forms, directly and indirectly. Giant corporations and establishments are established on this, under the name of art, entertainment, tourism and freedom, and other deceptive names you attribute to it.
And because of all this, you have been described in history as a nation that spreads diseases that were unknown to man in the past. Go ahead and boast to the nations of man, that you brought them AIDS as a Satanic American Invention.
You have destroyed nature with your industrial waste and gases more than any other nation in history. Despite this, you refuse to sign the Kyoto agreement so that you can secure the profit of your greedy companies and industries.
What we call you to thirdly is to take an honest stance with yourselves - and I doubt you will do so - to discover that you are a nation without principles or manners, and that the values and principles to you are something which you merely demand from others, not that which you yourself must adhere to.
I somehow doubt we’ll see any American kids agreeing with Osama’s condemnation of promiscuity, homosexuality, drug use, and feminism.
As for my part, I exist in the shadowy, fringe majority of cynics who still love this country, who loathe the skinsuits in the D.C. uniparty and all of its warmongering ways, cries every single year on 9/11, and is right now, as we speak, considered part of the most dangerous extremist threat in America by my own government, the media, and the elites: a person who didn’t vote for Joe Biden and stupidly keeps insisting there are just two genders.
Hey kids, guess who else thought there were only two genders? Awk-ward!
Thanks for reading this one! Please share it with a friend:

P.S. If you want to do something really extreme, you should buy my book—or pre-order the paperback!
My eyes were also opened re: the Iraq War. When I was in my 30s, I had NO notion of the corruption that existed in the higher levels of our own government. My dad had a good job, my mom stayed home to raise us, we were never asked "are you going to college" but rather "where are you going to college", and we had no reason to believe that our future would be markedly different from our parents' present. When Saddam invaded, my heart and head (such as it was) were fully behind Bush and the plan to evict the Iraqis from Kuwait (remember "Bomb Bomb Iraq"?).
Fast forward to the present and I find I've become as disillusioned as Peachy regarding our leadership. I've always maintained that a little bit of graft, a little bit of grease (throw a little patronage to useless uncle Joey...), were essentially harmless (and basically unavoidable) AS LONG AS those in charge truly loved our country. That no longer obtains. Most of our elite class is about power, fame, wealth...not much room in that triumvirate for a little thing like "patriotism".
I love my country. It is still the greatest nation that ever existed. But I am so heartily ashamed at our foreign policy; I simply cannot understand why any other country would trust us. This is the doing of our betters and, ultimately, of ourselves. We are the ones who elect these psychopathic narcissists. We truly are one generation away from total collapse. If we do not get kids out of the public schools (into parochial schools like Chesterton Academy, or into homeschool coops, or even your garden variety private school where flags still fly), we will no longer have the numbers to fight back.
Keep up the great work, Peachy!
TikTok is digital opium. Its addicts are Emperor Xi’s court eunuchs. Many have already castrated themselves.
