| Toogood Reports [Thursday, September 13, 2001; 12:01 a.m. EST] URL: http://ToogoodReports.com/ Most people who are old enough to remember significant events can tell you exactly where they were, what they were doing, what they were wearing, even what they were smelling, at the moment when they heard the news of Pearl Harbor, John F. Kennedy´s assassination, the Challenger disaster. The moment has been burned into their brains in such stunning detail that they can recall it in an instant, with the most vivid clarity. Tuesday, September 11, 2001, 8:45 AM will be such a moment. To call it a “Day of Infamy” as FDR named December 7, 1941, is not sufficient, because the events of September 11 eclipse Pearl Harbor by far. It is a day of the most monstrous evil ever committed in the annals of the United States. The number of dead—the number of murdered innocent civilians—will, in the final count, not only surpass the military dead of Pearl Harbor, but will rank behind only the body count of the great Civil War battles as one of the bloodiest days the United States of America has ever known. The Pentagon dead already may number as high as 800, the World Trade Center victims may go into the tens of thousands. Words fail to describe the horror and shock. There is nothing we can say except to add our tears to the torrents now being shed. In times of troubles, people turn to the Power they know is greater than they are. They scan the pages of the Bible for comfort and consolation:
“And yet have I seen beneath the sun, in the place of justice—there is wickedness, and in the place of righteousness—there is evil. I said in my heart, G-d will judge the righteous and the wicked; for there is a time for every pursuit; and on account of every deed will He judge.”— Ecclesiastes 3:16-17. As people pray, scrabble through the debris for the victims and the survivors, roll up their sleeves to donate blood, they ask: What more can we do? What else should be done to fight this monstrous, this obscene evil? The time of “restraint” has come to an end. The time has come to crush this evil, once and for all. What can be done now? To begin with, the City of New York should impound the Whorehouse on the East River, the so-called “United Nations,” which sponsored the recent Carnival of Cannibals in Durban, in which owners of Black slaves and ethnic murderers of Kurds and Tutsis gathered to condemn the state of Israel for “racism and genocide.” The confiscated UN building, which is worth roughly the accumulated sum of unpaid parking tickets and other scofflaw violations of the banditti masquerading as “diplomats,” should be turned into a hospital for the wounded and a memorial to the victims. Our leaders should look to the actions of the last American president to face such a monstrous threat to Americans on American soil: Abraham Lincoln. While Lincoln is chiefly remembered as the “Great Emancipator” who showed “malice toward none,” and “charity for all,” we should now all study the actions of Lincoln the war leader. Lincoln suspended the writ of habeas corpus for persons suspected of committing treasonous acts against the United States. Lincoln declared a state of martial law. Lincoln shut down outlets of sedition, including the detention of an entire state legislature, which incited rebellion against the authority of the Constitution. Lincoln required an Oath of Loyalty to be administered to persons suspected of harboring traitors, which was then used as a legal document to prosecute anyone who had taken this oath and failed to uphold it. Yes, Abraham Lincoln was ruthless, but in the end the evil was eradicated and freedom prevailed. Today, we are facing an evil far greater, but our cause is right and just. G-d Bless America.
