asserted
Friday → mark → September
While mainstream media – many of the same news organizations that amplified the post-9/11 lies that paved the way for the invasion of Iraq – will likely spend much of its coverage navel-gazing, Zeteo has planned a week full of thoughtful and honest essays and interviews that not only reflect on the tragedy that was 9/11, but also on the aftermath – in America, across the Middle East, and worldwide.
asserted
that → amplify → East

asserted
that → be → it
Instead, the U.S. intensified its violent status quo.
asserted
U.S. → intensify → quo
The War on Terror took the lives of what the Costs of War Project at Brown University tallies as between 4.5 and 4.7 million people.
asserted
Project → take → people
But while the War on Terror was a choice – a choice made by American elites in both parties, after exploiting the post-9/11 fear and bloodlust to manufacture consent – and for the peoples of the Middle East and Southwest Asia a death sentence, it was also, for many rising powers around the world, an opportunity.
America loves to think of itself as a beacon of freedom to humanity.
asserted
America → make → humanity
