It looks like we can wake Green Day up: "September" has ended.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey announced Thursday that the 1,776-foot edifice that was to replace the World Trade Center will no longer be called the "Freedom Tower." Instead, it will have the less ornate appellation, "1 World Trade Center."
Nice.
The timing couldn't have been better. It follows on the heels of the Pentagon's ending the War on Terror. You didn't hear? You must have missed the memo. No, seriously. In a memo, following a request from the Office of Management and Budget, the Department of Defense declared that foreign military and strategic ventures associated with various Muslim-world nations will no longer be called the "War on Terror." It is now Overseas Contingency Operation."
Cool.
This, in turn follows Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano's statement to a "Der Spiegel" journalist earlier this month that she prefers to call terrorism, "man-caused disasters."
Wonderful.
And, lets not forget that the Obama administration no longer refers to opponents in the Conflict-Formerly-Known-As-The-War-On-Terror as "enemy combatants." Haven't quite figured out a proper replacement on that one.
Neat.
Now, this is real change -- a seismic cultural shift that not too many people might have expected.
The cumulative effect is clear:The symbolic, rhetorical and strategic signifiers of America's post 9/11 world are being airbrushed away.
"Freedom Tower?" Gone.
"War on Terror?" Gone.
"Enemy combatants?" Gone
"Terrorism?" Gone.
Three-thousand Americans? Gone?
Oh, right.
Sadly they will be back with a BANG !
Hmmm, “1 World” - how telling...

Click on 1st MP# and be amazed.
We’re about due.
I wonder how the President will react?
Freedom Tower is better after all that’s why its being rebuilt in the first place. As a former resident of New York City, I hope all New Yorkers and especially the families and relatives of 9/11 victims take this fight on and take it right to their politicians doorsteps!
NY State is so FREAKIN dysfunctional!
8 years after 9-11, they are still debating the name and the thing isn’t put one stake in the ground.
Diogenesis —
Are photos you posted designed to show that 9/11 Commission Report is a fraud? I hope so, because I know from extended study that 9/11 was an inside job -— just for starters see Dr. David Ray Griffin’s extremely scholarly 346-page book, “9/11 Contradictions -— An Open Letter to Congress and the Press”, with index and I think at least 600 footnotes.
The 9/11 cover-up is possibly the most massive disinformation scandal in history. See also peer-reviewed reports by Dr. Stephen Jones, one of world’s top physical scientists, from Brigham Young University.
See also Dr. David Ray Griffin’s book, “Debunking the Debunking.”
They should name if for what it is (still) to this day:
1 World Trade Crater
That last image ~ chilling, amazing, so well done.
