The September 11 attacks were a series of four coordinated terrorist attacks by the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda against the United States on the morning of Tuesday, September 11, 2001. Immediately following those attacks, the US government began their defense by trying to shore up the vulnerabilities which laid in plain sight. Worried that it was too easy to attack this nation by a foreign adversary, our country found footing as almost one nation might, and began a series of actions to not only remain on defense but try to regain an offensive approach. One immediate, seemingly, small approach, was to remove Mail Boxes from the various and numerous locations, for fear that bombs or combustible materials might be placed inside them, (soft targets was the term used,)by TERRORISTS. After September 11, 2001, this nation realized that freedom was a prized resource, that too many with evil intentions, those dreaming of a dystopian diaspora, men and women who used fear and loathing as a philosophy to maintain power, inadequate empty insecure self-imagined misaligned maniacs, wanted a world chaotic, filled with consequences but most importantly corrupt contentious and crazy!
Mail Boxes, something as simple a Motherhood, Apple Pie, and Baseball became one of our first easy defenses to try and preserve freedom and eliminate the angst of fear, the idea that something bad could emanate from such an American icon, an American symbol of freedom! August 2020, and once again, MAILBOXES have become a symbol used by a government not of, or by, or even for the people, BUT now considered an extension of the Trump Corporation, now symbolizing how democracy is in the crosshairs of even more TERRORISM, this time DOMESTIC! We assumed no one knew of the plans for the death and destruction looming on the eve of NINE/ELEVEN (hindsight proved us wrong), BUT we DO KNOW and have even been TOLD how a new DOMESTIC TERRORIST ATTACK has been planned and is actually happening, and once again something as simple as MAILBOXES are a part of the plot NOT to keep America safe but to attack us from within!
