Then again, there’s evil everywhere inside the atmosphere we know as planet Earth.

You can choose not to believe it or hide it or mask it, but for those of us who see it, it’s not going anywhere. September 11 just happens to be one of the most glaring reminders of evil in our time, but it appears to be losing its impact on humanity as time goes by.

I’m sure this being the 25th anniversary will produce some traction, but I predict that to be short-lived at best. In a world of 1/10 of a second attention grabbing, what’s something that’s so last century?

To me, a seminal moment. To all too many, a reason to point fingers, cast blame and attack those who call out evil for what it is. So naturally, that’s what I’m gonna do; call out evil. Feel free to point, cast and attack, you’ll just prove my point.

Here’s a couple of examples of why September 11th is seminal in my life. The first being sarcastic as it’s the anniversary date of my marriage to the first ex-Mrs. Hall and the many adjectives that could be used to describe that union, evil being tops among them. Or I could tell you about something very blessed that occurred that day as it was the day after we confirmed we were pregnant with our oldest daughter – as the second ex-Mrs. Hall and I sipped coffee, watching the Twin Towers on fire and collapse.

As the world goes throughout history in everyone’s life, blessings intertwined with evil certainly occurs now and again. But when it comes to the evil part, for me, that’s top-of-mind 24/7/365 with an occasional 366.

And no, this column won’t be about the millstone-worthy mom in Massachusetts. It’s about a September story the media reported in which it not only buried the lede, it ignored it entirely. But what’s the mainstream media to do when sensationalism is too good to pass up, yet fully investigating it brings it to a place it despises with every fiber of its being?

You already know the answer. Show the video, people and pics that bring the clicks.

Such is the case of another September flight you’ve heard about, yet are woefully ignorant to what Paul Harvey would say is “the rest of the story.”

The flight in question is American Airlines Flight 618, on September 3rd, 2026. Never heard of it? You have. Just think about the pics and video of a passenger duct taped to their seat and say, “Oh yeah, that dude.”

As reported in the mainstream, the passenger was “unruly” while “directing vulgar language at flight attendants,” including using the “N-word and being very hostile and spewing venom,” in an incident that turned “physical with other passengers.” Don’t get me wrong, all of that behavior on a flight deserves a roll or two of duct tape and as many zip ties as necessary. And while this story is about the other passengers on this flight, at its core the story is about two passengers.

The demonically possessed one and the unlucky guy in the seat next to him.

You see, the unlucky guy’s name in Jonathan Cahn, a Messianic rabbi and author of dozens of books, some about evil in our time. And it wasn’t about two men having a two-hour talk on religion, it was about two men having a two-hour conversation that turned to religion, and apparently one on them wanted to change the subject in an evil, violent way.

That’s when America’s now least-favorite Realtor dropped the façade (according to Cahn, literally and physically) and went all “The devil made me do it” (I can’t believe I used that two columns in a row) on Flight 618. It should also be noted that Cahn’s laptop was open to the cover of his new book, “The Altar of Pergamon,” and that was the first thing Passenger 666 decided to go after. Curious, no? I pray this column is more: Curious? YES!

To help those who live and die by the word of the MSM, that’s Satan’s altar. And when the snake on the plane couldn’t destroy the laptop, it went to take a bite out of the laptop’s owner, as well as the helpful guys doing the “taping” of the incident.

But you’ll never hear any of this in the MSM, just the secular take. Even though I’m sure Jonathan would be happy to chat.

As the Good Book says: Ignoring evil will get you killed. So will calling evil good. September 11 proved it. As did Flight 618. Evil’s not going anywhere.

In Truth and Freedom.
