It's Not Over

By Daniel Greenfield @ Sultan Knish Blog

“In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate,” a terrorist declares on the Flight 93 cockpit recording. That’s followed by the sounds of the terrorists assaulting a passenger.

“Please don’t hurt me,” he pleads. “Oh God.”

As the passengers rush the cabin, a Muslim terrorist proclaims, “In the name of Allah.”

As New York firefighters struggle up the South Tower with 100 pounds of equipment on their backs trying to save lives until the very last moment, the Flight 93 passengers push toward the cockpit. The Islamic hijackers call out, “Allahu Akbar.”

Mohammed Atta had advised his fellow terrorists that when the fighting begins, “Shout, 'Allahu Akbar,' because this strikes fear in the hearts of the non-believers.” He quoted the Koran’s command that Muslim holy warriors terrorize non-believers by beheading them and urged them to follow Mohammed’s approach, “Take prisoners and kill them.”

The 9/11 ringleader quoted the Koran again. “No prophet should have prisoners until he has soaked the land with blood.”

On Flight 93, the fighting goes on. “Oh Allah. Oh the most Gracious,” the Islamic terrorists cry out. “Trust in Allah,” they reassure. And then there are only the chants of, “Allahu Akbar” as the plane goes down in a Pennsylvania field leaving behind another blood-soaked territory in the Islamic invasion of America.

Today that field is marked by the “Crescent of Embrace” memorial.

Thousands of Muslims cheered the attack in those parts of Israel under the control of the Islamic terrorists of the Palestinian Authority. They shouted, “Allahu Akbar” and handed out candy.

But similar ugly outbreaks of Islamic Supremacism were also taking place much closer to home.

On John F. Kennedy Boulevard, in Jersey City, across the river from Manhattan, crowds of Muslim settlers celebrated the slaughter of Americans. "Some men were dancing, some held kids on their shoulders," a retired Jersey City cop described the scene. "The women were shouting in Arabic."

Similar Islamic festivities broke out on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, a major Islamic settlement area, even as in downtown Manhattan, ash had turned nearby streets into the semblance of a nuclear war. Men and women trudged over Brooklyn Bridge or uptown to get away from this strange new world.

At Union Square, I passed NYU students painting anti-war placards even as the downtown sky behind them was painted the color of bone. They ignored the crowd streaming up past them and focused intently on making all the red letters in NO WAR line up neatly on the white cardboard.

In the years since, I have seen that look on the faces of countless leftists who ignore the stabbers shouting, “Allahu Akbar” in London or the terrorist declaring, "In the name of Allah, the merciful," among the bloody ruin of a gay nightclub in Orlando. Instead they focus on their mindless slogans.

“NO WAR,” “Stop Islamophobia” and “Refugees Welcome.” The world of the cardboard sign and the simple slogan is an easier and neater one than a sky filled with the ashes of the dead.

On September 11, some of us opened our eyes. Others closed them as hard as they could.

The passengers on Flight 93 who took the lead were in their thirties. But the two firefighters who made it to the 78th floor of the South Tower, Ronald Bucca, who did duty in Vietnam as a Green Beret, and Orio Palmer, a marathon runner, were in their forties. Those men and women had the most meaningful answers to the old question, “Where were you when it happened?”

The great lesson of that Tuesday morning was that it wasn’t over. It wasn’t over when we understood that we wouldn’t find anyone alive in that twisted mass of metal and death. It wasn’t over when the air began to clear. It wasn’t over when the President of the United States spoke. It wasn’t over when the planes began to fly again and the TV switched from non-stop coverage of the attacks and back to its regularly scheduled programming. It wasn’t over when we were told to mourn and move on.

It still isn’t over.

After every attack, Boston, Orlando, San Bernardino, New York, Paris, Manchester, London, Jerusalem, we are encouraged to mourn and move on. Bury the bodies, shed a tear and forget about it.

Terrible things happen. And we have to learn to accept them.

But Tuesday morning was not a random catastrophe. It did not go away because we went back to shopping. It did not go away with Hope and Change. Appeasing and forgetting only made it stronger.

“Where were you?” is not just a question to be asked about September 11, 2001. It is an everyday question. What are you doing today to fight the Islamic terrorists who did this? And tomorrow?

Our enemies wake up every day wondering how to destroy us. Their methods, from demographic invasion to WMDs, from political subversion to random stabbings, are many.

A new and terrible era in history began on 9/11. We are no more past it than we were past Pearl Harbor at the Battle of Midway. Its origins are no mystery. They lie in the last sound that came from Flight 93.

“Allahu Akbar.”

We are in the middle of the longest war in American history. And we still haven’t learned how to fight it.

September 11 has come around again. You don’t have to run into a burning building or wrestle terrorists with your bare hands. But use the day to warn others, so you can answer, “Where were you?”

9/11: Some Say, “Always Remember,” But Many Have Already Forgotten

By Robin Itzler

As we approach another somber September 11, you will frequently hear “always remember.” The fact is, many Americans have already forgotten.

When many Americans think of 9/11, they think about the Twin Towers that collapsed after Muslim terrorists flew a plane into each building. But the 110-story Twin Towers (WTC), located in lower Manhattan, was part of a 16-acre commercial complex that contained seven buildings, a large plaza, an underground shopping mall and connected six of the buildings. The entire complex was destroyed on September 11, 2001.

The Pentagon was also attacked that day and it is believed the original site for the fourth plane was either the White House or U.S. Congress—the heart of our republic. Instead, Flight 93, crashed into a Pennsylvania field. By then passengers knew what was happening and that they likely were going to die. Using his credit card on the plane phone, Todd Beamer tried calling his wife who was pregnant with their third child. In the process he was put through to a GTE supervisor who had the FBI listen in on the call to learn what was happening on the hijacked plane.

Heroic passengers and flight attendants knew they were going to die. Their goal was to steer the plane into the ground so it would not hit any buildings and kill more innocent people. Gathered in the back of the plane and still connected to the GTE supervisor (and the FBI), Beamer led everyone in reciting the Lord’s Prayer and the 23rd Psalm. When finished, he told the supervisor, “If I don’t make it, please call my family and let them know how much I love them.”

At this point, all that could be heard on the call were muffled voices. Then Beamer is heard saying, “Are you ready? Okay. Let’s roll.”

Fifteen of the 19 September 11 terrorists were from Saudi Arabia. Two were from the United Arab Emirates, one was from Lebanon, and one was from Egypt.

COULD A 9/11 HAPPEN AGAIN?

It is happening again, in the United States, throughout Europe and elsewhere in the world as Muslims take over western society. In 2001, they used planes. Today they are using ballots.

On Thursday when you hear “always remember” be reminded that Americans quickly forgot. Just a few short years after the 9/11 attack, Americans elected and then re-elected Barack Hussein Obama. There are still many looming questions about Barack Obama that have never been answered. For the communist left, Obama was the perfect Trojan Horse because every question or inquiry was attacked with, “You’re a racist.”

Today, as we approach the 24th anniversary of Muslims attacking the United States of America, right in the heart of New York City where so many innocent people died on September 11, 2001, a communist Muslim might become the Big Apple’s next mayor.

There are too many Americans (some serving in Congress) who hate this magnificent country and seek our destruction from within with ballots rather than planes.

On September 11, let’s pray for the innocent people who died or were injured on that horrific day, along with those who prematurely passed away from 9/11 health-related issues. Patriots will always remember. God Bless the United States of America!

Did USAID Help Pay for the 9/11 Attack?

By Susan Daniels Feb 16, 2025 @ Susan’s Newsletter

If you think that the government wouldn’t kill Americans, consider what has been uncovered recently about how USAID spent money since its inception. In 1961, President John F. Kennedy intended his organization to administer foreign aid and development. Instead, it became a political slush fund that included our enemies.

America lost its taste for war after more than 58,000 Americans were killed in the Vietnam War. But wars make money, and the impetus to convince Americans to go to war has to be significant, and what was more compelling than the 9/11 attack.

After the hijacked planes hit the Twin Towers, the Pentagon and crashed in Shanksville, PA, President George W. Bush ordered all planes to land. Within 3 1/2 hours the skies were empty and stayed they way for two days, with one exception.

On the morning of 9/12, a private plane left Boston carrying Saudi royals home to Saudi Arabia. This did not surprise anyone familiar with the long relationship between the Saudis and the Bush family. In fact, Saudi Arabia donated $10 million to construct George H.W. Bush’s $43 million presidential library in 1997.

It was uncovered that fifteen of the nineteen hijackers were Saudis, two were from the UAE, one was from Egypt, and one was from Jordan. But Bush and his Vice President, Dick Cheney, didn’t incite the country to go to war against Saudi Arabia. Instead, they attacked Iraq over Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction, which turned out to be a hoax.

Despite no Iraqis attacking our country in airplanes, that’s where Bush sent our troops even though the Bush administration knew when, where, and how the 9/11 attack was going to happen:

Paul Joseph Watson’s book “Order Out of Chaos” said that the government had previously been alerted that there were going to be attacks on American soil and that airplanes were going to be used as the weapons.

In a section called “Warnings on the Eve of the Attack,” Watson writes: “Newsweek twice reported that top Pentagon officials had got a warning of the impending attack on September 10th and cancelled their flights for the next day. This confirms that these officials knew both the locations of the imminent attack and the method of using jetliners as bombs.”

From Rense: “June 2001 - German intelligence, the BND, warns the CIA and Israel that Middle Eastern terrorists are ‘planning to hijack commercial aircraft to use as weapons to attack important symbols of American and Israeli culture.’ (Source: Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung)” and “Summer 2001” — An Iranian man phoned U.S. law enforcement to warn of an imminent attack on the World Trade Center in the week of September 9th.

“German police confirm the calls but state that the U.S. Secret Service would not reveal any further information.”

The attack took extensive planning, and an estimated $400,00-$500-000 was paid by Al-Qaeda. The terrorists paid for the flight schools and living expenses of Mohamed Atta, the Egyptian ringleader, and the others. Al-Qaeda was funded by USAID:

'USAID Funding ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Boko Haram': Big Storm Strikes Congress

The military-industrial complex made $120 billion dollars from the Middle East war and one of the big winners was a spin off company from Dick Cheney’s company Halliburton. The new entity, KBR in Texas, received $39.5 billion in contracts without competing bids. The Pentagon cannot account for another $60 billion of that money.

But no one should be surprised that Bush did not go after the Saudis.

 

In his 2004 book, House of Bush, House of Saud, Craig Unger asserts: “… the groundwork for today's terrorist movements and the modern wars that have sprung up about them was unintentionally laid more than 30 years ago with a series of business deals between the ruling Saudis and the powerful Bush family. The Saudis received investments and military protection in exchange for cooperation on lucrative oil deals.”

The author claims that the result has been a shady alliance between "the world's two most

powerful dynasties." Unger writes, "Never before has an American president been so closely tied to a foreign power that harbors and supports our country's mortal enemies.”

 

Bush’s grandfather, Prescott Bush, was not the least bit circumspect about making his money with the Nazis. A 2004 article in The Guardian claimed: 

“George Bush's grandfather, the late US senator Prescott Bush, was a director and shareholder of companies that profited from their involvement with the financial backers of Nazi Germany.... His business dealings, which continued until his company's assets were seized in 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act….......But the new documents, many of which were only declassified last year (2003), show that even after America had entered the war and when there was already significant information about the Nazis' plans and policies, (Prescott Bush) worked for and profited from companies closely involved with the very German businesses that financed Hitler's rise to power. It has also been suggested that the money he made from these dealings helped to establish the Bush family fortune and set up its political dynasty.”

 

Prescott Bush is on the far right

So now that we know how corrupt USAID was and how it financed Al-Qaeda, and how unethical the Bush family is, is it so hard to believe that our government helped finance the 9/11 attack?

Three thousand people died on 9/11. If the attackers hit the towers one hour later, there would have been 50,000 people working. Was 3,000 an acceptable number of people to kill to get us into an unnecessary war that we did not win but which made people rich?

The Department of the Navy announced in January that a future aircraft carrier will be named the USS George W. Bush. It appears we should be naming a cemetery after him instead.

He Had ‘Foreknowledge of 9/11’. Now He's Free

By Daniel Greenfield @ Sultan Knish Blog

“I am studying airplanes!” Abd al Salam al Hilah told Osama bin Laden’s top Italian operative in the summer of 2000. “We are focusing on the air alone… It will leave them stunned… Remember, the danger at the airports. If it comes off, it will be reported in all the world’s papers.”

Al-Hilah has now boarded another plane that takes him from Guantanamo Bay to Oman.

In New Orleans, Biden wept his crocodile tears, told families of the victims about how much he had suffered when his wife died in a car accident, and then went right back to freeing terrorists.

The terrorists include Al-Hilah, an Al Qaeda facilitator, who knew about major terrorist attacks ahead of time, and conducted conversations with an Imam in Italy soliciting forged documents “for the brothers who have to go to America,” warning to, “never utter their real names.”

The Gitmo evaluation stated that Al-Hilal “had foreknowledge of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, the 2000 attack on the UK Embassy in Sanaa…the 2000 attack on the USS Cole, a planned attack on the US or British Embassy in Sanaa that was to occur in October 2002, and probably the 11 September 2001 terrorist attack.”

The USS Cole bombing killed 17 sailors and injured 37 in the worst attack on a Navy vessel in nearly 40 years. The Gitmo report noted that Al-Hilal facilitated the travel plans of the Al Qaeda terrorists.

Now with the blood of 17 Americans on his hands, along with many others from other preventable terrorist attacks, including possibly 9/11, Democrats made Al-Hilal a free man.

And he is not alone.

Accompanying him to freedom is Suhayl Abdul Anam al Sharabi, an Osama bin Laden bodyguard, who was listed in the Gitmo evaluations, as one of the airplane hijackers from the original expanded version of the 9/11 plot that would have also hijacked planes in Southeast Asia that was later aborted. The parole board had previously denied his release because of Al-Sharabi’s “possible participation in KSM’s [9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed’s] plot to conduct 9/11-style attacks in Southeast Asia.” Al-Sharab was also listed in the Gitmo review as having served as the director of an al Al-Qaeda guesthouse and an Al-Qaeda instructor.

Also released by the Democrats is Sharqawi Abdu Ali Al Hajj, a “confidant” of Osama bin Laden, who recruited his bodyguards, moved hundreds of Jihadists into Afghanistan and was associated with 11 of the 9/11 hijackers.

The Democrat administration also freed Tawfiq Nasir Awad Al-Bihani who vowed that if he was released, he would kill Americans, come to America and “fly another plane”.

Hassan Muhammad Ali Bib Attash, an Al-Qaeda terrorist, was freed by Biden and his Democrat allies despite his past role “preparing a terrorist operation against US naval ships and US oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz” that would have involved a boat filled with explosives whose goal was to “destroy the US economy by shutting down the oil shipping lanes.”

Sanad Ali Yislam Al Kazimi, an Osama bin Laden bodyguard, bragged that “all Muslims are against the US, even Muslims within the US,” and that “he could raise $100,000 US in any mosque in the US in 30 minutes using Koran passages, which Muslims could use to fight Americans in any country”. Now thanks to the Democrats, he’ll have a chance to do that.

Al-Kazimi, was freed from Gitmo despite taking part in a plot to fly a plane into a US Navy vessel in Dubai. Al-Kizmi allegedly taped flying lessons and plotted out routes for transporting explosives. Al-Kazimi had described the leader of ISIS as a true follower of Islam.

Other released Bin Laden bodyguards include Uthman Abd al-Rahim Muhammad Uthman and Moath Hamza Ahmed al-Alwi. The Democrat administration also freed Khalid Ahmed Qassim despite a warning that he “will pose a threat if released” and Omar Mohammed Ali al-Rammah who had been caught in possession of detonators abroad. Also out is Hani Saleh Rashid Abdullah, an Al-Qaeda terrorist who “planned to participate in terrorist operations targeting US forces in Karachi, Pakistan and possibly inside the United States” and was taken in an Al-Qaeda safe house where “a laptop computer recovered from the safe house where detainee was captured contained data that could be used to target aircraft for hijacking operations.”

Democrat officials embedded in the Department of Defense described this mass release of Al Qaeda terrorists, deemed too dangerous to free even under Obama, as a “resettlement” with the “partner” government of Oman.

Two previous Gitmo terrorists, Abdul Zahir and Abdul Karim, had been urgently transferred to Oman by Obama as part of a mass release of terrorists four days before Trump’s first inauguration.

Zahir had taken part in a grenade attack against American and western civilians in Afghanistan.

Zahir was freed by Obama despite a warning that he had “made statements openly indicating his intention to rejoin the fight against US forces” and that “due to his placement and access in Afghanistan when he was originally captured, it is likely he will return to the fight.”

Last year, the Taliban asked Oman to release Karim and Zahir, and the “partner” government eagerly obeyed. The Taliban held a ceremony celebrating the return of the Al Qaeda terrorists.

The Taliban have an embassy in Oman and Iran also has extensive ties to the country.

Releasing Islamic terrorists to Oman is as good as giving them a free pass to rejoin the fight. The Democrats chose to free 11 Al Qaeda terrorists to a known terror gateway despite the fact that the Omanis had already allowed past Jihadis to rejoin their comrades in Afghanistan.

Defense Department officials falsely claim that the Al Qaeda terrorists being freed “underwent a thorough, interagency review by career professionals who unanimously determined all detainees as transfer eligible consistent with the national security interests of the United States.”

Freeing Al Qaeda terrorists endangers national security and is motivated by an urgent need to implement the original Obama policy, as the DOD press release admits, of “closing Guantanamo Bay” and freeing all the terrorists without regard to the results of the 2024 election.

Defense Department officials partaking in the mass release of Al Qaeda terrorists are violating their oath, their professional responsibilities and the national security of this country, exposing Americans abroad and at home to Islamic terror threats out of their obedience to their party.

Obama operatives inside the Pentagon have achieved their goal of reducing Gitmo’s population to 15 terrorists, of whom they still intend to transfer another 6 if they can get away with it before President Trump takes office. And if their previous actions under the Obama administration are any guide, they will try to free Al Qaeda terrorists even a few days before the inauguration.

Their goal is to get the number of Al Qaeda terrorists in Gitmo into the single digits.

A number of others including Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of the September 11 attacks, have received plea deals from Democrats over the protests of families of 9/11 victims.

The media’s reporting on the mass release of Al-Qaeda terrorists refers to them only as “detainees”, never uses the name “Al-Qaeda” and strongly implies that these are innocent men who were locked up for no reason in an Islamophobic panic after September 11. Not a single story by any major media outlet or newspaper mentions any of their past activities.

The AP, for example, describes the Al Qaeda terrorists only as “Yemeni men” and emphasizes that they “were never charged with a crime.” It refers to Al-Haji, an Osama bin Laden confidant who was moving as many as 15 Jihadists a week, only as a humanitarian political prisoner who “had undergone repeated hunger strikes and hospitalizations at Guantanamo to protest his 21 years in prison”. An article about the release of Al-Qaeda terrorists never mentions Al-Qaeda.

What is the AP, which has a history of complicity with Islamic terrorist groups, and other media organizations hiding? The fact that even after the New Orleans Islamic terrorist attack, the Democrats and their media allies will not stop aiding, abetting and freeing Islamic terrorists.

We can’t defeat Islamic terrorism until we defeat their allies within.

1993 bombing key to understanding 9/11 -  September 11, 2024 by Seth Grossman -

September 11, 2024.............On February 26, 1993, there was a massive explosion in the parking garage beneath the World Trade Center in New York. It made a 100-foot hole several stories above and below the blast. Six people were killed. A thousand others were injured, many seriously......... the Blind Sheikh issued a fatwa that declared it lawful to rob banks and kill Jews in the U.S. His sermons condemned Americans as the "descendants of apes and pigs who have been feeding from the dining tables of the Zionists, Communists, and colonialists". 

 

He called on Muslims to assail the West, "cut the transportation of their countries, tear it apart, destroy their economy, burn their companies, eliminate their interests, sink their ships, shoot down their planes, kill them on the sea, air, or land.".......

 

One of the Blind Sheikh’s followers involved in this plot was Ramzi Ahmed Yousef. He fled to Pakistan, but was quickly arrested. An FBI agent named Chuck Stern from Atlantic City was sent there to bring him back.  During the 44-hour flight back to New York, Stern engaged Yousef in long conversations. From those conversations and further investigation, Stern learned that Yousef’s group had been working with engineers to find out how to create an explosion powerful enough to bring down the World Trade towers. ........

 

 

 

It Still Matters To Amercian Families – Flashback September 11, 2001; 2012

September 11, 2023By Mychal Massie @ Daily Rant

Archives     Islamic Terrorism     Military     Political, Christian and Conservative Issues

In remembrance of 9/11, 2012 and 9/11, 2001 I’m reposting my syndicated column originally published January 29, 2013.  It’s not to remind you how vile Hillary is, but to remind you to never forget the brave men and their families that she and Obama tread under foot. 

Let us not forget that while Hillary was busy smuggling guns and profiteering on earthquakes, hurricanes and the Middle East, her actions resulted in the murder of Americans around the world and specifically in Benghazi, September 11, 2012.  Let no one forget that when I sounded the alarm in a 2004 syndicated op-ed about the threat that a limousine sodomite narcissistic crackhead Marxian fake Moslem phony liar, named Obama, people didn’t listen.  This resulted in him signing-off on the murder of brave American Marines and military personnel in Benghazi plus a host of other betrayals of America and her military.  And the Biden crime family organization continues to reap massive fortunes by selling out America.

As you read this remember it was written September 2012, but the waste and abuse of American military continues at the hands of warmongering profiteers. 

“What difference, at this point, does it make?” – Hillary Clinton: For September 11, 2012:

Testifying before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee January 23, [2013] Hillary’s performance was predictable. After suffering with a tummy ache, an alleged fall, and alleged blood clots caused by the alleged fall – she appeared before the Committee filled with spit and vinegar.

Her theatrics were expected (at least by me), but what wasn’t expected by me was her recalcitrant comments about the murders of Ambassador Christopher Stevens, Tyrone Woods, Sean Smith, and Glen Doherty in Benghazi.

Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI), asked her: “Madam Secretary, do you disagree with me that a simple phone call to (the diplomatic personnel) to determine what happened would have ascertained immediately that there was no protest?”

Her response was as revealing as it was combative and arrogant. Clinton angrily snapped back at Johnson: “ We had four dead Americans…What difference, at this point, does it make? It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again, Senator.”

That was quite a cavalier comment coming from someone who had allowed lie upon lie to be told in the aftermath of the murders.

What does it matter, indeed. Perhaps she should have posited that question to the parents, families, friends, and loved ones of those four murdered Americans. Does Clinton believe that the family and friends those murdered Americans left behind think it doesn’t matter? Does she think our military personnel feel as cavalier as she does? Does she even care?

Does it matter to her that the lothario she married has such disrespect for women?

Does it matter to her that had her husband accepted President of Sudan, Bashir’s offer to arrest, detain and hand over bin Laden to the United States? (SEE: Jethro’s Ghost; 10/21/03) Had her husband who was President at that time done his job there would have been no 9/11 and it is not unreasonable to believe the level of mayhem perpetrated by Al Qaeda around the world since that time would have never taken place.

But following in the footsteps of her husband, Hillary openly shows not just disrespect but complete disregard for the lives of our military.

Clinton not only showed her defiance to the Committee, but she also left no doubt pursuant to her contempt for Americans in uniform.

It was an open secret that during the years of her husband’s presidency she was rude and insulting to the military personnel assigned to her husband.

It’s easy to understand why Hillary is the bitter harridan she has become. At the dawn of what was to become her career she became involved with a serial philanderer who has no respect for law, propriety and/or women.

Hillary the radical feminist whose theism dictated that men were only needed for sperm donations not only became involved with a man who represented everything feminists condemned, but she became the very thing feminists accuse stay-at-home mothers and conservative women of being, i.e., dependent on men for their advancement.

As Hillary looks back in the mirror, of her life she sees embarrassment, abandonment, and, worst of all, she realizes that she has had to swallow her pride time after time as the pernicious lecher she married was accused philandering and sexual assaults.

She made the decision to stay with him because it was the only way she was going to have even a remote chance of becoming the public figure she has become.

But, the frustration and public embarrassment that her life became was not caused by our military. Ergo, it would behoove her as an American, if not because of her position as Secretary of State, if she would remember that and treat them with respect.

Why Stevens, Smith, Woods, and Doherty were murdered does matter. It matters to those they left behind and it matters to patriotic Americans. They made a decision to serve their country and that decision to serve resulted with them being murdered. And their murders deserve more than lies, subterfuge, obfuscation, and hostile blather from her and Obama.

Hillary saying her job is to see that it doesn’t happen again is specious and purposefully misleading. You cannot ensure something doesn’t happen again without knowing what caused it the first time. Hillary doesn’t want to address the causal factors of why Stevens, Smith, Doherty, and Woods were murdered – because to do so would mean Obama would have to answer the question of why he permitted them to be murdered as he reportedly watched the live feed of their murders from drones recording the attack.

President Bush’s address to the nation on 9/11

September 10th, 2023 3 Comments @ CFACT

THE PRESIDENT: Good evening. Today, our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very freedom came under attack in a series of deliberate and deadly terrorist acts. The victims were in airplanes, or in their offices; secretaries, businessmen and women, military and federal workers; moms and dads, friends and neighbors. Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror.

The pictures of airplanes flying into buildings, fires burning, huge structures collapsing, have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness, and a quiet, unyielding anger. These acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat. But they have failed; our country is strong.

A great people has been moved to defend a great nation. Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shattered steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve.

America was targeted for attack because we’re the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world. And no one will keep that light from shining.

Today, our nation saw evil, the very worst of human nature. And we responded with the best of America — with the daring of our rescue workers, with the caring for strangers and neighbors who came to give blood and help in any way they could.

Immediately following the first attack, I implemented our government’s emergency response plans. Our military is powerful, and it’s prepared. Our emergency teams are working in New York City and Washington, D.C. to help with local rescue efforts.

Our first priority is to get help to those who have been injured, and to take every precaution to protect our citizens at home and around the world from further attacks.

The functions of our government continue without interruption. Federal agencies in Washington which had to be evacuated today are reopening for essential personnel tonight, and will be open for business tomorrow. Our financial institutions remain strong, and the American economy will be open for business, as well.

The search is underway for those who are behind these evil acts. I’ve directed the full resources of our intelligence and law enforcement communities to find those responsible and to bring them to justice. We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them.

I appreciate so very much the members of Congress who have joined me in strongly condemning these attacks. And on behalf of the American people, I thank the many world leaders who have called to offer their condolences and assistance.

America and our friends and allies join with all those who want peace and security in the world, and we stand together to win the war against terrorism. Tonight, I ask for your prayers for all those who grieve, for the children whose worlds have been shattered, for all whose sense of safety and security has been threatened. And I pray they will be comforted by a power greater than any of us, spoken through the ages in Psalm 23: “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me.”

This is a day when all Americans from every walk of life unite in our resolve for justice and peace. America has stood down enemies before, and we will do so this time. None of us will ever forget this day. Yet, we go forward to defend freedom and all that is good and just in our world.

Thank you. Good night, and God bless America.

9/13

Daniel Greenfield September 11, 2023 @ Sultan Knish Blog 

As another 9/11 anniversary arrives, we are not in 9/10, a world before the fall of the towers, nor 9/12, the world that was born in the aftermath of the attacks, rather we are in 9/13.In 9/13, the attacks of September 11 are not considered especially significant. 

In 9/13, concern about Islamic terrorism ranks in the low single digits behind everything else.

In 9/13, a thousand trending concerns, some vital and some completely unimportant, have vastly eclipsed not only the barbaric mass murder of thousands, but the recognition that we are at war.

And that war is far from over.

In 9/13, the people who once specialized in talking about the threat of Islam have increasingly moved on. And it's hard to blame them. No one really wants to hear it anymore. It's yesterday's news.

America's Islamic population is growing. The open border doesn't just bring in drug dealers and gang members, but massive numbers of people from the Muslim world. The Afghan airlift and visas will probably end up importing at least a quarter of a million as family reunification kicks in. Our national demographics are being transformed with the same eventual outcome as Europe.

But it's 9/13. When I write articles about Islam, they perform worse than anything else. And I don't have the same raw feeling toward the day that I used to. The ash used to haunt my nightmares. I snuck past the law enforcement and military presence downtown to make it to the site, the twisted mess of what was left, because I needed to know up close that what I had seen was real. But it's not the same.

I hope it is for you. But I don't think it is for most of us.

Back then, afterward, I wondered how it was possible to move on and to forget. I was still young then and I concluded that the answer had to be time. With time, pain dulls, what seems fresh grows stale. Such things were abstractions then. I hadn't lived through phases of history or seen generations change.

That's no longer true. I've seen how people can change. How they can go mad. And how they can forget.

9/13 is all about forgetting.

9/13 means we've done it. We fought in Afghanistan and Iraq. It's time to move on now. Maybe take a day to remember the people who died in the towers, in a field, bow our heads and go on with what really matters today.

What's the alternative? Fighting a forever war?

After WWI, most people were done with world wars. But world wars weren't done with them. That's a poor analogy because the Jihad isn't some nationalistic European grudge match. It's a thousand-year assault on the rest of the world that will not stop just because we've decided to move on.

Early on WW2, wags joked that it was the Bore War because nothing seemed to be happening on the western front. The jokes made sense at the time. But they stopped being funny really fast.

We're in the Bore War now. But thousand-year-old wars don't remain boring forever.

Americans recalibrate quickly. We believe that the world is always changing. TikTok, AI, lazy girls, this week's trend. The past is... past. We quickly forgot about the airline hijackings once they became yesterday's news. We're more than ready to forget Islamic terrorism all over again.

But Islam does not forget.

Reality is what exists even when you stop paying attention to it. Ideology and opinion don't matter. Marxist ideologies claim to know the future and believe it will be dramatically different from the past. But the only reliable way to predict history, as Patrick Henry told a bunch of men long since dead, is with the lamp of experience. The best way to know the future is to know the past.

And sometimes that may even mean living in the past.

Living in the nanosecond has not served our sanity, our reality or our culture very well. But it means that we are always leaving things behind. History keeps vanishing in the rearview mirror. The outrage of the moment fills our minds. And then the next and the one after that. And all the others to come.

September 11 is not just a day. It was a wake- up call. And many of us woke up. But it's easier to wake up then it is to stay awake. And yet the war we're in isn't going anywhere. It's only getting worse.

Islamists and Islamic terrorists accomplished their main purposes which were to drag America into political and military engagements with them, ones that they were bound to win through sheer staying power, while they infiltrated our political system and spurred massive immigration into our country.

Islamic terrorism became a partisan issue. And then it ceased to be even that. Democrats have embraced Islam and Republicans, as usual, are tagging along for the ride. Even the conservative landscape is dotted with apologists, truthers, conspiracists and other sympathizers. Meanwhile we're losing.

The demographic conditions are coming into place for a next wave of Islamic terrorism which will depend not on internationally coordinated attacks, but domestic terror cells following up on the 'lone wolves' like the Boston Marathon bomber and the Pulse nightclub shooter.

Every few weeks another Islamic terror plot is broken up. I wrote about them sometimes. Sometimes someone even reads the article.

It's 9/13 after all.

Before 9/11, I had a sense of a dimly understood future rushing toward us. I still have that sense now.

Islamic terrorism is not the only thing that matters. It's not the only thing that will determine our survival. But it is one of those things. And it's the one that we've forgotten. And one of these days we will once again wake up to blood and horror and mass death. Let us hope that this time we stay awake.

The ‘Foul Spirit’ of George W. Bush and America’s Ruling Class

Bush’s complete misunderstanding of that day, coupled with his apparent desire to rub our noses in his own failure and the failures of his class, is profoundly offensive. 

By Lane Scott September 14, 2021 As with so many other aspects of our time, we seem destined to suffer the most trite and underwhelming imitations of things that once were great or at least impressive........ Can there be a more perfect synthesis of the last 20 years of disappointing American politics than this man? He exemplifies everything—unaware, unashamed, unapologetic—that the American ruling class has become..........The everlasting incompetence and mesmerizing self-delusion on display at his recent 9/11 remarks make that clear............to lecture the public while standing on the very spot where common, average, everyday people sacrificed themselves to save members of the elite? .....

What kind of a person stands on the very spot where heroic, valiant Americans perished in a tragic last-ditch effort to save a symbol of their ruling class—either the Capitol or the White House, no one knows for certain—and dares to offer criticism of the American people?   What kind of cretin could possibly stir himself to lecture the public while standing on the very spot where common, average, everyday people sacrificed themselves........

............Bush lectured ordinary Americans—some of them the very people felt compelled to answer his call to defend America 20 years ago at Ground Zero........that extra step is truly breathtaking............. The sheer violence to common decency, statesmanship, and self-awareness that George W. Bush, a man I voted for twice, achieved with his 9/11 speech is, I confess, difficult to comprehend. Bush ......... [he] searched the American landscape for a recent, festering wound to scratch . . . and broke it wide open.....To Read More..... 

 

The Battle Over Bush

Is George W. everything that's wrong with the ruling class? 

Fri Sep 24, 2021 Lloyd Billingsley 61 comments

“In their disdain for pluralism, in their disregard for human life, in their determination to defile national symbols, they are children of the same foul spirit.” That was former president George W. Bush near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, on September 11, 2021. The equation of terrorist mass murderers with the January 6, 2021 protesters proved startling, even on the right.

“Can there be a more perfect synthesis of the last 20 years of disappointing American politics than this man?” wondered Lane Scott in “The Foul Stench of George W. Bush and America’s Ruling Class.” Youngstown State professor Adam Fuller responded with “In Defense of George W. Bush,” contending that Bush was “a basically decent man who rose to the difficult task of making America and the free world safer from terrorism after 9/11.” That claim invites a look back to September 11, 2001...........“The face of terror is not the true faith of Islam,” Bush said. “That’s not what Islam is all about. Islam is peace. ..........After the worst attack on America since Pearl Harbor, with nearly 3,000 dead, the president emerged as an apologist for Islam and a kind of diversity instructor. ..........

 By all indications, the rise of the murderous Islamic State failed to make made Bush wonder if Islam meant “submission” instead of “peace.” On the other hand, Bush has no problem stating that the “same foul spirit” motivated al Qaeda and the January 6 protesters...............Twenty years after 9/11, Bush has no explanations and no solutions, only rhetoric. There might be a more perfect synthesis of everything that is wrong with the ruling class, but there’s no denying that foul stench............To Read More.....

 

All I Need to Know About Islam

Forgetting History and Misrepresenting History is America's Real Pandemic

By Rich Kozlovich

Today is September 11, 2020, and nineteen years have passed since Islamic terrorists flew two planes into the World Trade Center Towers.  For someone my age (74), that was just yesterday.  Although it shouldn't be, it is a bit startling to realize how many adults today don’t remember that event.  While my generation knows a lot about Pearl Harbor, we have no personal memory of it.  However, when it comes to remembering Pearl Harbor for my generation, and 9/11 for the modern generation, there's a difference between my generation and the current crop of young people?  What is it?  Societal paradigms and education!  I will cover that later.

Just as those who were alive when Pearl Harbor was attacked, I vividly remember 9/11.   The west became complacent when it seemed the Cold War was over and everything was fine.  I knew that wasn’t true.  I knew the cold war wasn't the end of concerns. I knew Islamists were going to be a problem.  What I didn’t know is we would have Presidents - Clinton, Obama and supported by efforts by Jimmy Carter - who would actually help America’s enemies, such as Iran, N. Korea and China especially.  

Although we all should have known. 

Nixon was the key to understanding what was going on, but I wasn’t old enough, experienced enough, or knowledgeable enough to understand his foreign policy toward China was fundamentally flawed and practically treasonous.  Because of Nixon, we’ve been funding their economic and military expansionism, which is in direct conflict to the good of the United States.  And that was their intention from the beginning.  

 

When Kissinger went to China while talking with Mao Tse Tung (Mao Zedong) and his number one henchman, Chou En- Lai (Zhou Enlai), Kissinger said to Mao, paraphrasing:  

The nice thing about this is we don't want anything from each other.  Mao said to Kissinger: If I didn't want something from you I wouldn't have invited you, and if you didn't want something from me you shouldn't have come.

But all those weaknesses in my understanding changed, and I later clearly understood the reason for Mao's invitation. China was in serious internal trouble, and its economy was disastrous, and it seems to me, the Chinese communists were in deep trouble.   Nixon bailed them out and made them a world trading partner.  What Mao wanted was to save his economy, stay in power, and eventually force the west into an inferior economic and military position to China, and get the west to fund it. And it happened, and there are those who are leaders in industry, government and politics who want it to continue for their own benefit. 

As a result, none of what’s happening now should surprise us, except for one thing: We finally have a President that sees the problem as it is, and not as the media and ruling classes attempt to present it.  

Having had to deal with the EPA, environmentalists and other misfits for many years representing my industry, I knew the bureaucracy was corrupt, and that corruption was created by elected representatives from both parties, especially starting with - again - Nixon, who created the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration  (OSHA), passed the Endangered Species Act (ESA), and a host of  other "green” laws.  All of which have been out of control for years.  All of which are anti-capitalist.  All of which are anti-American. All of which impose fundamentally unconstitutional regulations.  All of which the nation is struggling with today.  

But here's what has taken me by surprise.   The extent and depth of treason going on within all these government agencies, and throughout every level of government in America by government officials, elected and un-elected, military and civilian.  There’s a reason the phrase “The Deep State” has been coined to explain them.

Its been known for years the government of the United States during the Roosevelt years was the most heavily infiltrated government in the history of the world.  Senator Joe McCarthy was contemptible in many ways, accusing innocent people of being communists, but he was right in his contention the federal government was filled with communists, socialists, Stalinist agents and fellow travelers.  All of which was proven by the release of the VENONA intercepts, and by the release of the Soviet Union's files after it's collapsed.   Information FDR, Truman and Eisenhower all had to know about.

• Their intellectual and philosophical progeny are still there!   
• The breadth and depth of that infestation is shocking! 
• The politicians embrace of them is stunning!  
• The media’s defense of them is the most shocking of all!

Much of our domestic problems are startling, however, all of the reactions by the world’s nations should have been predictable!  All one has to do is just take a look at the history of Islam and the West for hundreds of years.  Nothing has changed.  These “leaders” today are just as spineless and self-serving as were the rulers in Europe all during the Middle Ages, the Crusades, and during the incursions into Europe by the Ottoman Empire.  In some cases actually supporting the Ottomans against their fellow Christian kings for their own gain.  

Our “leaders” in industry and government are just as spineless and self-serving as they were.  What took me by surprise is how easily America’s ruling classes became just as corrupt, conniving and treasonous as were those in Rome and Byzantium, all to the detriment of their societies, and ultimately their very existence.   If this continues, America’s existence will be in question.

Another thing that has surprised me is how easily Americans became lemmings over this coronavirus scare mongering con job.  Knowing how scare mongering molds societies intellectually from history books is one thing.   Seeing it as a living reality is entirely another.  Seeing how easily these misfits have manipulated members of our society against each other seems to be nothing short of a practice run for bigger take overs. 

• Quebec city will isolate 'uncooperative' citizens in secret corona facility
• Woman refuses to wear mask, 6 cops force her into squad car

I have grave concerns for the continued existence of America.   George Friedman's book, The Storm Before the Calm, covers the cycles of American transformations,  and how America still remained America.  And that’s because all those generations were taught history as it should be taught. 

Education in America now teaches America’s children to hate America, and that it needs to be “fundamentally transformed” into Cuba.  And these kids believe it, and they’re acting on it by burning down America’s cities, with threats to burn down the entire nation if Biden isn’t elected, and the media and elected officials enable and excuse them. 

As for remembering Pearl Harbor versus remembering 9/11, this is a twofold problem:

1. Social Paradigms: There was a huge number of movies made about WWII and Pearl Harbor, and American's knew we were the good guys.  How many have we seen about 911, or for that matter Islamic terrorism?  Not that many! And not enough to override the constant politically correct drumbeat.  How many movies and documentaries are there telling us Islamists are our enemies?  Current posturing makes it appear we brought this on ourselves and we deserved to have these terrible things happen to us.  We're the bad guys, not the terrorists. And any commentary in conflict with that narrative is railed against as racist, xenophobic and Islamophobic.
2. Education:  The real number one issue in America is public education and higher education. If that’s not fixed, America will not be America in this next cycle, and if the Democrats manage to steal this election, it will happen much sooner than later.   That is the absolute number one issue that needs to be emphasized and dealt with.  The Politically Correct crowd are using our own values against us.  They're using the education system to destroy America by teaching America's children to hate America.

America is in crisis, and we need to remember 9/11 for the horrors suffered by the 2,977 who died there.  But we need to define it for what it truly was:  A symptom of a terminal political cancer eating away at the vital organs of the nation.

Commentary: September 11 – Lest We Forget

September 10, 2020 Ohio Star Staff

 As we approach the 19th anniversary of September 11, 2001 we should never forget the loss of 2,977 innocent American lives. Many were simply at their desks and had no idea that September 11 would be their last day on earth, while others such as brave first responders and the “Let’s Roll” passengers and crew of flight 93 who willingly sacrificed their lives so others might live.

September 11, 2001 brought us together as a nation against the common foe of terrorism, but unfortunately today as we approach this November’s election our nation is torn asunder by unchecked violence in our cities petty bickering, and hyper partisanship, none of which contributes to moving our great nation forward.

It is hard to believe that many who will be voting this November are not aware of the sacrifices made on 9/11. Many gave their lives for the cause of liberty – not for socialism which is the latest cause célèbre for many of our younger generation. Yes, those who died on 9/11 did so that we, today, would have the freedom to speak and, yes, also to protest without resorting to anarchy and violence.......To Read More....

Remembering 9/11 in a Woke Year

What do the heroes of September 11 mean in a year of hating police officers? 

Fri Sep 11, 2020 Daniel Greenfield 0
  
The 19th anniversary of 9/11 has been the nation’s darkest in this dreaded cycle. The Black Lives Matter riots that attacked the statues of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Christopher Columbus, and Abraham Lincoln, did not spare 9/11 memorials. The statue of a police officer was beheaded and toppled in  Plymouth, MA at a 9/11 memorial honoring those who had died in the attacks. But the 2,000 pound steel beam from the World Trade Center proved beyond the ability of the vandals to topple.

When Black Lives Matter racists defaced statues and memorials in the Boston Common, including the ‘Glory’ regiment, they didn’t spare the 9/11 memorial in the Public Garden.  A 9/11 memorial honoring five fallen firefighters was defaced and the American flagpole was cut down in Washingtonville, NY.  There was also vandalism at the Decatur, IL memorial site, and a red, white and blue rearing horse 9/11 memorial in Rochester, NY was smeared with red paint...........To Read More......

Today's 19th Anniversary of 9/11

Biden and Harris blithely ignore the findings - and warnings - of the 9/11 Commission.

Fri Sep 11, 2020 Michael Cutler

 Today, even as we remember the terror attacks of September 11, 2001, America finds itself under attack by anarchists and Radical Leftists and violent criminals who have been released under the guise of “bail reform” and to protect criminals from COVID-19 while they commit murders, rapes, robberies and other violent crimes.

Certainly there is no shortage of news reports about acts of extreme violence carried out across the United States primarily in cities run by Leftist Radicals literally following the old dictum of news reporting, “If it bleeds, it leads.”  However, the threat of terrorism continues but has been all but ignored by the media and by our politicians. 

Consider that New York’s disgusting mayor, de Blasio attempted to block the reading of the names of the victims of the terror attacks of 9/11 and the lighting of the twin spotlights, a practice that has been ongoing since September 11, 2001, purportedly out of concerns of the COVID-19 virus, a concern that he ignored during massive violent demonstrations in NYC, the city that was the most heavily impacted by those attacks...........To Read More...

Just Another Day

Posted by Daniel Greenfield 18 Comments Wednesday, September 11, 2019 @ Sultan Knish Blog

It is that time of year again when flags fly at half staff and faces are lowered. When wreaths are tossed on the barren ground and the passing of a plane overhead meets with ominous dread. September is the cruelest month, the end of summer, when light fades and darkness comes early, shadows creeping through the concrete canyons with the cold eastern wind.

Once again we remember the dead. Those who have died that terrible day, bodies falling through the air, choking on smoke and fumes in offices, or killed in an instant when metal met metal and became flame... and those who are still dying today on battlefields a thousand miles apart and in hospitals of undiagnosed health problems.

On line at a department store, the cashier promises delivery by the next day. "What day is that," the man asks. "September 11th, a day no one can forget, " the cashier replies. "Of course not," the man says, "it's my father's birthday."

A day. Memorial Day, once Decoration Day. Armistice Day now Veteran's Day. Labor Day. Martin Luther King Day, Father's Day and Mother's Day and President's Day. So many days in which we remember, and so many more days in which we forget. September 11th is swiftly becoming another "Day". A day of lip service for politicians and brief mourning. Just another day.

"Where were you when the attacks happened," some ask, the way people asked, "Where we you when JFK was shot." As if it is so important to capture that moment of dislocation when the world changed around you and when life was certain to never be the same again. But people are resilient and life has a way of snapping back into focus, even if isn't the life it's supposed to be. The right question to ask is not, where were you on that day, but where are you now? Where are we now?

The War on Terror has stumbled into a dead end with all the talk being not of how will we win, but how will we withdraw. How fast can we get out of this and make it all go away.

The left already has the answer. Just give it a day. Toss the wreaths and bow your heads if you must on, but move on. Forget what happened and turn it into a day of good feelings. Give blood, pick up trash in the park and volunteer for disadvantaged youth. Pat yourself on the back. You've done your part. You deserve it. The dead are dead, the war is lost, and all you can do is try to make the world a better place. Here, have a logo.

But let us walk another way for a moment. Let us loosen our grip on today, forget the glut of reality shows and talking heads, the congealed wisdom of editorial writers, shouting pundits and dueling campaign slogans. Let go of the future for a moment and walk back in time to 2001.

This is the way we're going. And this is the place. The millennium, both of them are past. The era of the Clinton Administration has passed, but its miasma lingers. Most people still have opinions on Impeachment. Touched by an Angel and Who Wants to be a Millionaire are on the air. Everyone knows that the internet is set to change everything, but they aren't sure exactly how. Dot Com businesses are hot and geeks are riding around in Porsches. The Musketeer tops the box office. The Chandra Levy case is in the news. Americans are by large comfortable and relaxed. The Cold War is over. There's nothing left to do but cash in and enjoy life. Build up your CD collection. Buy better furniture. Invest in the right Dot.com. But we are at the corner now. This is where we turn the corner. And around the corner is where the world ends. At least for a little while.

Walk now through streaming curtains of ash, through fragments of charred office memos and human skin, through the snow that came early to September that year, through the rubble in Washington D.C. and the broken aluminum fragments lining the crater in a Pennsylvania field. Pass now along Liberty Street again, turn now past the cafe chairs dusted with ash snow, stopped cars and human chaos. Look up into the sky and watch. Watch it carefully because it is both a beginning and an ending.

What is beginning and what is ending? That is up to you, up to all of us to decide.

Since then, our leaders have made more wrong decisions, than right ones. They were never able to turn that corner and break with the liberal political dogmas that mandate nation building over national defense, that say that the lives of their citizens are worth no more than anyone else's life, and that protecting America is no excuse for hurting a terrorist's feelings. The question is whether we will be able to turn that corner before it is too late.

On 9/11 we did not turn the corner. We were forced around it, dragged around it, by the brutal atrocities committed by a small group that is only a finger of the vast dark hand sweeping across the globe. Some of us woke up and rushed toward the rubble and the smoke, some hurried back the other way, away from all the disturbance eager to leave the memory of it behind.

And that is where we are now.

The enemy we have been fighting all this time is only the most brutal, radical and impatient, relentless and daring part of the horde that is breaking across Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East and America. This is a clash of civilizations. The thousands dead on 9/11 and the thousands more dead since then, are only a small down payment on the horrors to come.

While we spend fortunes to build nations, the horde is building its own nations in the cities of Europe and in the old manufacturing centers of America, in Gaza and in the south of Thailand. Their nations are not concerned with electricity or democracy. The ballot box is no different to them than a box of bullets, all tools to leverage in order to gain dominance and power. And though most of us may not understand the war or even be aware of the war, the war goes on.

It is not only a war fought with falling towers. It is also a war fought with billboards and acid to the face, with bribes carefully dispensed and with smuggling operations moving cigarettes, slaves and heroin across borders. It is a war fought with Fatwahs and the severed heads of schoolgirls. It is fought with polygamy and pregnancies. With IED's and soft spoken words about the Religion of Peace. And on every front we are losing the war, for the simple reason that we refuse to fight.

And so America turns away from the falling ash and the horror. From the covered heads, the flames and the grinning killers. There are new movies and shows to watch. New Twitter feuds and culture wars. New distractions and new escapes. We are poorer and weaker, but still trying to escape from History, capital H, by resorting to history, small h. As if a nation can be great and not assailed by foes. As if a nation can be strong and rich without inspiring greed and hate. As if a superpower can stand between two fires, pacifying those who hate it and still having plenty for itself. As if there is any escape from the real world... just waiting around the corner.

Two kinds of peoples lose wars. Those who lack the physical resources to defeat their enemies and those who lack the cultural resources to defeat them. We do not lack the physical resources, but our culture is the culture of the ostrich, a head stuck inside the internet and a body left vulnerable to whoever will have it.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other men are set to be charged for their alleged role planning the 2001 terror attacks, which killed nearly 3,000 people. Mohammed has been accused of being the mastermind behind the strike.

 

While the media typically attributes the death of approximately 3,000 innocent victims to the attacks, in reality the actual death count is much higher and victims of those attacks continue to suffer and die because of their exposure to the toxins that were released as a result of the attacks............To Read More....
