The historical rupture of 9/11 quickly overshadowed that which was supposed to happen by the end of the Cold War. It was not only the Twin Towers that collapsed in an hour and 42 minutes following the impact of commercial planes weaponized by Islamic terrorists, but an entire edifice of liberal theories, hopes and dreams of the end of history and the onset of Kantian peace. Rarely in human history do entire societies’ futures change so quickly. What followed was great global confusion that, with the recent turmoil in Afghanistan, seems to only be worsening.
After a long period of what seemed like a greater containment of violence in certain pockets of crime, civil wars and failed states, the violence of a sacred and existential kind shattered those dreams with an almost superhuman speed. On 9/11, the world witnessed an unprecedented shift in the nature and scale of sudden, unexpected social violence. Not only did violence proliferate, but it also grew more brutal to a nearly mythological level. Such brutal violence in New York was only the beginning of a globalized era of more violence, gore and madness. It coincided with quicker and more efficient modes of communication that culminated in high-definition footage of beheadings in Raqa and drowned children washing up on European shores.

About Rep. Brian Mast: Prior to his election to Congress, Brian followed in his father’s footsteps by serving in the U.S. Army for more than 12 years, earning medals including The Bronze Star Medal, The Army Commendation Medal for Valor, The Purple Heart Medal, and The Defense Meritorious Service Medal. While deployed in Afghanistan, he worked as a bomb disposal expert under the elite Joint Special Operations Command. The last improvised explosive device that he found resulted in catastrophic injuries, which included the loss of both of his legs. Brian remained on active duty following the injuries and provided expertise to the National Nuclear Security Administration and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms during his recovery process. After his retirement from the Army, he continued working in counter-terrorism and national defense as an Explosive Specialist with the Department of Homeland Security. Brian subsequently received a degree from Harvard University and volunteered to serve
alongside the Israel Defense Forces to show support for the freedom Israel represents throughout the Middle East and the world.
