The Rise of Basic Men
Episode 39 | Post 9/11: The Cover-Up, Money, and Wars That Followed | Part 3 of 3
The dust had barely settled, and America was already shifting into a new reality. In the final part of our 9/11 series, we break down what happened after the attacks—the cover-ups, the missing money, and the wars that changed the world forever.
The cleanup of Ground Zero was lightning-fast, but why? The steel was shipped off to China before forensic testing, Flight 93 debris was buried in a landfill, and $1 billion in World Trade Center gold just vanished. Then there's the 9/11 Commission, forced into existence by a group of widows and riddled with omissions—like the total absence of Building 7.
What We’re Covering in This Episode:
- The Rapid Cleanup & Evidence Destruction – Why key wreckage was shipped off before forensic investigation.

The official story has cracks, and we’re prying them wide open. No holds barred, whiskey in hand, and deep in the conspiracy rabbit hole.
Listen, debate, and decide for yourself—was it all just coincidence, or the greatest power play in modern history?
