A Visual Reminder In Case The Media "Forgets" To Tell The Story Of 9/11

This Sunday morning, September 11, as I surf through the various channels covering the memorial of the worse onshore terrorist attack in history upon the United States, I am wondering if any of the media will actually show the Moslem piloted planes crashing into the Twin Towers, but, so far, no.

At the Pentagon, I can hear a reverential Amazing Grace sung by a military choir as several men of the cloth of various denominations, sects, and creeds recite prayers to Almighty God. In Shanksville, Pa., where Flight 93 dove and disappeared deep into the ground, they are also singing and praying in an atmosphere of awe and solemnity.

In New York City, Governor Cuomo is approaching the memorial occasion with a very cool and secular demeanor, speaking words that are going unheard. Hilary Clinton is smiling, and the whole effect emanates a darkness and coolness. It just seems so vacuous, holding such a ceremony without any call to the Divine for mercy or providence.

My heart does go out to the First Responding firefighters and other heroes, as well as to the families of those who were mercilessly slaughtered by Islamic terrorists. Can I say that, even ten years after the horrid event?

In case the media "forgets" to broadcast what actually happened, below is an animated gif displaying just some of the pandemonium that day, September 11, 2001.

President Obama did get a little religious and announced this in commemoration of 9/11. I am not sure if it was permitted to be broadcast at the New York memorial:
THE PRESIDENT:

God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.
Therefore, we will not fear,
even though the earth be removed,
and though the mountains be carried
into the midst of the sea.
Though its waters roar and be troubled,
though the mountains shake
with its swelling,
there’s a river
whose streams shall make glad
the City of God,
the holy place of the Tabernacle
of the Most High.
God is in the midst of her.
She shall not be moved.
God shall help her
just at the break of dawn.
The nations raged,
the kingdoms were moved.
He uttered his voice.
The earth melted.
The Lord of Hosts is with us.
The God of Jacob is our refuge.
Come behold the works of the Lord
who has made desolations in the Earth.
He makes wars cease
to the ends of the Earth.
He breaks the bough
and cuts the spear in two.
He burns the chariot in fire.
Be still and know that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations.
I will be exalted in the Earths.
The Lord of Hosts is with us.
The God of Jacob is our refuge.

In case you haven't figured out yet, this is shaping up as a carefully edited "memorial." Yes, people died, buildings collapsed, but our "leaders" don't want us dwelling on the who and the why of this affair.

They would very much prefer that they could pretend that it was a vengeful Christian God. That is someone they could blame, without offense. (Except Christians, and who gives a rat's patoot about them?)

I heard a firefighter interviewed on Fox News who reminded us that we were attacked by Islamic terrorists.

I also heard Obama reading from the Psalms. It was as if he were trying to read it poorly so as not to offend his Muslim brothers around the world. I was thinking, for a guy who pundits say is a great orator, he is really screwing this up. What an embarrassment.

When zer0 speaks I turn off the TV, or mute the sound ... and watch zer0’s facial expressions if muted. Today I turned off the TV, and came back after zer0 finished. Do not trust this guy, zer0. Never have, never will. zer0 does not do anything except destroy. Have seen from the outset this zer0 is a zer0. MHO

Just heard a reporter say “Obama inherited this from Bush and Obama is the one who caught and killed Bin Laden.”

Just heard a reporter say “Obama inherited this from Bush and Obama is the one who caught and killed Bin Laden.”

This we believe because it is what we were told. The body was ostensibly rushed to an aircraft carrier where it was respectfully buried at sea. No pictures of the body were shown. No pictures of the burial at sea were shown. No eyewitnesses have come forwards publicly to describe the killing or the burial. The identification was accomplished in 12 hours through DNA testing that takes 3 days to process.

Based on the evidence I believe, don’t you? (sarc)

[ConservativeStatement]

And do you think a plane hit the Pentagon on 9/11/01? (sarc.)

The son of a co-worker is in the navy and stationed on that ship, and saw the body dumped over. He said it was wrapped, but there was blood. I got this from my co-worker as told to her by her son.

[Soul of the South]

Actually I do believe a plane hit the Pentagon on 9/11/01. I’ve seen eyewitness statements and a film taken by a camera in a parking lot of the plane hitting the building.

Congrats to all of you who spoke up.

Obama was going to recite a poem, but ended up quoting scripture, and Bush and Giuliani, also used prayer in their speech. Maybe they would have anyway, I don’t know, but maybe it would not have been as strong.

Again, thank you, to all of you who spoke up, and made your voices heard.
