What was america's watershed moment?

what was the worst thing that ever happened in america? virginia tech massacre or the asassination of JFK??

A single event? Then I would say 9/11. But I think the civil war was the worst thing, simply due to the number of casualties. Although the abolition of slavery came out of it, but at a huge cost.

WHERE DID JFK GET SHOT DALLAS RIGHT?HAHAHA PRESIDENTS GET KILLED HERE..I LOVE DALLAS TEXAS DONT you DALENEZBITT..LOL..

9/11/2001

Well, some would say it was when the Pilgrim Fathers arrived. (Nobody 'discovered' America - the Europeans just didn't know about it, and Columbus died thinking he'd got to India.)

Or perhaps when Lincoln was assassinated?

I would have to say the infulenza pandemic of 1918. That flu virus killed aprox 675,000 U.S. citizens, and 100,000,000 (100 million) world-wide. Also known as the spanish flu, its most diabolical trait was that it killed people mostly between the ages of 20-40, where as most other flu viruses kill the young or old.

Also, where as Aids has taken 25 years to kill 100 million, That flu virus took only 2 years . . .eeek! That is frightning.

I'd personally say 9/11 was the worst.

all those are very true thankx 2 all of the above..!!

and I agree the 9/11 was and abombanation my cousin died in that.. im irish and he was nly in america 2 days.!!

Did anyone read my numbers on that 1918 flu pandemic? Yeah, lot more than 9/11 and the civil war. 675 thousand dead Americans, 100 million people world - wide died . . . Not bad enough huh? jeeez you are hard to please. . .

I would have to say it was slavery. With 9/11 we have seen a nation pull together which is beutiful. We also learned how much we took for granted. But with slavery we were the problem and we were also the victims at the same time. I myself am more ashamed of my actions rather then other peoples actions towards me.

9/11 or pearl harbor

9/11 wouldn't have happened without the Kennedy assassination.

Ironically Admiral Lyman Lemnitzer proposed a similar false flag operation...[Operation Northwoods] to then President Kennedy as a pretext for attacking Cuba.

One proposed false flag of Operation Northwoods: http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/northwoods.html?q=northwoods.html

An aircraft at Elgin AFB would be painted and numbered as an exact duplicate for a civil registered aircraft belonging to a CIA proprietary organization in the Miami area. At a designated time the duplicate would be substituted for the actual civil aircraft and would be loaded with the selected passengers, all boarded under carefully prepared aliases. The actual registered aircraft would be converted to a drone [a remotely controlled unmanned aircraft]. Take off times of the drone aircraft and the actual aircraft will be scheduled to allow a rendezvous south of Florida.

From the rendezvous point the passenger-carrying aircraft will descend to minimum altitude and go directly into an auxiliary field at Elgin AFB where arrangements will have been made to evacuate the passengers and return the aircraft to its original status. The drone aircraft meanwhile will continue to fly the filed flight plan. When over Cuba the drone will be transmitting on the international distress frequency a May Day message stating he is under attack by Cuban MiG aircraft. The transmission will be interrupted by destruction of the aircraft, which will be triggered by radio signal. This will allow ICAO [International Civil Aviation Organization radio stations in the Western Hemisphere to tell the U.S. what has happened to the aircraft instead of the U.S. trying to sell the incident.

President Kennedy rejected Operation Northwoods and any further fanning the flames in Cuba. Kennedy sought to withdraw from the growing conflict in Vietnam. Kennedy had signed Executive Order 11110 to return the constitutional mandate of currency printing to the U.S. Treasury from the private Federal Reserve Bank.

Kennedy was made an example of. He bucked against the system and decided to use the power of the office of President for the good of the average American.

Bill Hicks:
It's just a handful of people that run everything, and that's provable... I have this feeling that whoever's elected president, like Clinton was, no matter what promises you make on the campaign trail - blah, blah, blah - when you win, you go into this smoky room with the twelve industrialist, capitalist scumfu@ks that got you in there, and this little screen comes down... and it's a shot of the Kennedy assassination from an angle you've never seen before, which looks suspiciously off the grassy knoll... And then the screen comes up, the lights come on, and they say to the new president, 'Any questions?'

9/11 was an inside job. It got us into Afghanistan to oust the Taliban who were razing the poppy fields the elite owned and used for their heroin production. It got us into Iraq to thwart Hussein who was looking for a new world reserve currency... the Fed Reserves dollar were making slaves out of us all. It got us on Iraqs doorstep for the same purposes and to route an oil pipeline from central Asia to Israel in order to bolster Israel's hegemony. It fed the military industrial complex with new wars worth billions to them.

These are some of the whys of 9/11... the hows are much more condemning towards the shadow government.

The example achieved with the Kennedy assassination proved that no rank was out of the reach of the gangsters that rule the world. If anyone... politician... president.. anyone decided to go against the program or to blow the whistle... they were sitting ducks.

assassination of JFK he could have done great things. you people dont give credit where credit is due. you know if you think about it JFK stopped russia from turning good ole america into a nuclear wasteland. think about it
