Megyn Kelly on Thursday condemned the parents of young people who recently ‘discovered’ Osama bin Laden’s 2002 defense of the 9/11 attacks, saying they had failed to educate their children. Discussion of the ‘Letter to America’ has surged on TikTok in recent days, with young people describing the screed as revelatory and insightful. Bin Laden justified the terror atrocity by arguing that America’s support for Israel ‘s right to exist made Americans legitimate targets.
TikTok is working to remove the videos using the hashtag, but Kelly said the fault lay with parents. ‘To the parents of all of these losers suddenly persuaded by the deranged musings of the man who murdered 3k American innocents: you failed,’ she wrote on X. ‘You were likely boozing, marching for some L-wing cause and/or simply ignoring your kids. You failed to teach wrong from right, a proper moral code, a love of country and perspective on America’s role in the world.’
She also used her podcast to excoriate the parents. ‘Get off your [Expletive] iPhone. Pay attention to your child. Look at your kids lessons,’ she said. ‘Step down from the Women’s March which by the way, it was totally anti-Semitic when we called it out, as did many at the time. ‘Do some parenting if you’re going to bother having a child and stop indoctrinating your own children to those of you who are on the left in this pernicious woke ideology because this is where it lands. I’m very fired up about it. We’re forgetting 9/11. And it’s, you know what’s going to happen? It’s going to happen again.’ Kelly, who is mother to Edward, 13; daughter Yardley, 12; and son Thatcher, 9, said that she was dismayed her children – who she vowed would be kept off TikTok – would ‘have to deal with these cretins who hate America’.

RELATED: Son of 9/11 victim calls out TikTokers fawning over bin Laden’s letter
The son of a man who died in the 9/11 attacks said it is ‘hard to watch’ TikTok users fawning over Osama Bin Laden’s letter to America as he called for Americans to be ‘reeducated.’ Brett Eagleson (pictured left) was just 15 when his father, Bruce Eagleson, perished inside the World Trade Center. He has since dedicated his life to campaigning for justice in the wake of the terror attacks. The 37-year-old has become the latest high-profile figure to condemn online users re-sharing the Al Qaeda leader’s letter, which he used to justify the September 11 attack.
Published November 17, 2023
In the letter, which was first published in 2002, bin Laden says one of the reasons 9/11 was carried out was because of the U.S.’s support for Israel – as he spewed anti-American, anti-Semitic and homophobic viewpoints. The document has resurfaced in recent days in the wake of the Hamas attack on Israel of October 7, with many TikTokers drawing parallels between bin Laden’s justification and those of Hamas.
‘It’s hard to watch and hard to believe these TikTokers can be taken seriously,’ Eagelson said. ‘Perhaps what they don’t realize is that the radical terrorists they are giving credibility to wouldn’t hesitate a second to take them hostage or kill them or their families based solely on their skin color, religion, nationality or gender preference. We can never stand for that.’
The trend appears to have started with TikToker Lynette Adkins who posted a video on November 14 telling her followers to read the manifesto
‘It’s time to reeducate Americans what happened to us on 9/11, the role the Saudi government played in the attacks, and that we must hold those accountable so such an attack can never happen again on our soil,’ he added. ‘We need to send a strong message that terrorism can never be normalized, justified or white washed.’ His comments come after the White House condemned those re-posting the letter.

The Guardian also pulled the text of the Al Qaeda founder’s letter from its website after people cited it on TikTok and X.
Published November 16, 2023
TikTok removed the hashtag #lettertoamerica from its search function after videos about Osama bin Laden’s 2002 “Letter to America” went viral on the platform and were re-uploaded to the social media platform X. Some social media users suggested that the Al Qaeda founder’s document gives an alternative perspective about the U.S.’ involvement in conflicts in the Middle East.
Throughout the week, TikTok users had been sharing the link to The Guardian’s transcript of bin Laden’s letter, which was written about a year after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, which killed nearly 3,000 people in the U.S. The Guardian took the letter down from its website Wednesday.
In the letter, bin Laden addressed the American people and sought to answer the following questions: “Why are we fighting and opposing you?” and “What are we calling you to, and what do we want from you?” The letter includes antisemitic language and homophobic rhetoric.
The virality of the letter has reignited criticism of the platform, which is owned by China’s ByteDance. The app has faced mounting scrutiny in the last year as the U.S. and other countries argue it poses a threat to national security. Since Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel, critics of the app have alleged that it is using its influence to push content that is anti-Israel and contrary to U.S. foreign policy interests. TikTok has said the allegations of bias are baseless.
71% of the earth is covered by ocean, water is a 1000 times denser than air and the mass of the oceans are 360 times that of the atmosphere, small temperature changes in the oceans doesn’t only modulate air temperature, but it also affect the CO2 level according to Henry’s Law.
The reason it is called “Law” is because it has been “proven”!
That means, the graph proves CO2 do not control temperature, that again proves (Man Made) Global Warming, now called “Climate Change” due to lack of … Warming is – again – debunked!
