FYI and DISCUSSION.

We should collect all of these tapes, make copies of them and put together a video of these voices accompanied by pictures of the people speaking, and pictures of their lives.

Then we show this video on every network in the country, 24 hours a day, for a week or two.

Then we carpet nuke our enemies, while keeping the videos broadcasting 24 hours a day for MONTHS after the rubble stops bouncing. Just so that there is NO QUESTION as to why we have just incinerated millions.

These messages make me so sad but I hope they are a comfort to those people. I cannot imagine what it feels like to listen to them, the pain and the gladness.

BTTP!

[Lady In Blue]

Did you read "E-Mails From America"? They'll break your heart.It was posted on FR a few days ago.Incredible! Flying hands and feet falling on people's head, people joining hands and jumping out the windows! It's really heartbreaking!

[cayuga]

You're right. The networks need to show the sheeple what really happened. It's all been too clean, as if there is only debis from the collapsed towers. People died in that attack, but you would never know that from the video shown. I think the media just wants it all to go away.

[WFTR]

The most important calls are the ones from the people in United Flight 93. They recognized the danger of their situation, but they fought and they won. While they gave their lives for that victory, they denied the terrorists the chance to kill more Americans. In a day when we are conditioned to be passive in the face of evil and wait for "proper authorities" to handle every situation, I still stand in awe of their courage and determination. They are truly heroes.

America's response has Already Started.

First Battle

By Jim Quinn

Quinn in the Morning

WARROOM

As we sift through football fields of rubble with cement dust clogging
our eyes and throats it may hardly seem that there is victory
anywhere in this landscape of catastrophe, but there is. The first
battle of the war has been fought and it was a decisive victory for
America. It didn't happen on the ground, it just ended up there. It
happened sometime between 10:00 am and 10:37 am in the sky over This was not just a symbolic victory; it was a win for the practical utility of freedom versus the robotic behavior of programmed fanaticism. In other words, it was a test of who we are versus who they are, and we won!

While there is some evidence that our military may have been forced to make a terrible choice last Tuesday it's clear that with or without an "assist" from one of our flyers, whom we shall hold blameless. The other members of our military on board the plane had already made their decision. The contents of cell phone calls from the plane bear witness to this. "But military?” what in the world are you talking about Quinn? Allow me to explain. These people weren't in the military when they boarded the plane. They enlisted in flight. They did it without a recruiter. There was no paper work and no promise of a college education or a career skill to secure their future. They signed up knowing their future would be less than 15 minutes.

The significance of the outcome of this battle will be lost on these over funded, over educated, oil saturated former Nomads. It should make them drop to their knees and make them pray to Allah for forgiveness, but it won't. Here's why:

The Battle of Fight 93 was a short but decisive encounter where the fanatic met the free. Where a group of people who have been programmed from birth to believe in the sanctity of self destruction and mass murder in the name of a god who does not exist as they envision him, came face to face with something they never understood; free people who are used to thinking for themselves.

It took decades of preparation, training and pseudo religious indoctrination to prepare these men to sacrifice their lives for their twisted purpose. It took a bunch of free Americans about two minutes to prepare to sacrifice theirs. These men and women who began their day with a toothbrush and a plane ticket and nothing more on their plate than the expectation of a business meeting and dinner at Fisherman's Wharf; these people with husbands, wives and children to consider, unhesitatingly chose to give their lives for their fellow Americans in less time than it takes to boil an egg.

Advantage: Freedom!

As I write this, God is probably hearing from a vast number of people He hasn't heard from in a while. In times of difficulty we are moved to turn back to that which we have neglected. Freedom will be the tool of victory in all battles as it was in this one. It is of desperate importance that we understand from whence the tool of victory emanates. You'll find it in the writings of the Framers of our Constitution. Faith and Freedom will triumph over fanaticism.

In those few dreadful seconds over Somerset, the template for the coming battles emerged from the fires in which they were forged. Free Americans fought the first battle "on the fly" and "by the seats of their pants". They did it with the only tool they had the resourcefulness of people who can still think for themselves. They earned victory and the admiration of the Free World. The fanatics earned a smoking hole in the ground.

God bless the cell phone. My husband told me just now that cell phone stocks were among the few which held their own this week on Wall St.

[Lady In Blue]

I couldn't agree with you more. Their courage was mind-boggling and what a legacy to leave to their families! In their sorry and grief,there most be overpowering pride!

We should collect all of these tapes, make copies of them and put together a video of these voices accompanied by pictures of the people speaking, and pictures of their lives.

It still makes me cry. I would add one suggestion, play those tapes while watching those plane hit the towers and the people falling out of the windows.

God knows it sounds morbid, but people are already forgetting the horror of watching the slaughter of thousands of innocents.

Yes, we need to heal and yes, we need to get on with our lives, But we must never forget. Ever.

[brityank]

Bump for an eloquent epitaph.

[Lady In Blue]

Thank you for your post and especially the beautiful photo!It's absolutely fabulous!

[lwaldschmidtkc]

And we should save them for a few months down the road in the event we get back to normal and somehow forget the assault on our nation. We need to stay the course for as long as it takes....We may need a reminder

"media wants it all to go away"

Geeee, I wonder if they are trying to hide what really happened because in their heart they know THEY are as responsible as Clinton.
