I found this to be a lot less about 9/11 and more about how things actually work.

People generally think you're insane when you tell them everything we see is theater and not to get wrapped up in the headline of the month, and not just because politicians have to lie to get re-elected, but because they are literally helpless to higher level planning and are effectively actors.

If the entire federal government was under continuity operations and there's not actually a congress in power, how the F do you think you would you know? Really think the news or your preferred party members would tell you, could tell you?
