9-11

I know that my words won't help put aside the grief that is felt by many on this day. It is beyond scope, unquantifiable and largely beyond my simple brain's capacity. Innocents died. Families were broken. Brave men and women did everything they could in an awful situation.

I know that we exist in a society that is largely corrupt, one which puts greater emphasis on money than on people. A nation of haves and have nots. It is my sincere hope that someday we can break free from this terrible downward spiral. God bless freedom and all that this flag was meant to stand for.

We'll never forget.

9/11 Manufactured Terrorism by Gerard Holmgren

I found this article today and after reading it, I thought I'd do some research on the author. I thought this first article was rather flimsy on fact, but did bring up some interesting information. The manner in which he wrote it however seems a bit childish, and at times rather funny.

He did however come off eloquent enough and brought up important questions. Which is why I did a search for more information on him. This second article I found was really impressive however. Here is the link (also linked below), a 10 page PDF, a summary he wrote. If you don't read the first, then at least give this 2nd link a glance.

I think it is an impressive paper that addresses many of the concerns I personally have about what happened that fateful day. Really- give it a read.

Reflections: 9/11

“It was an interesting day.”—President Bush, recalling 9/11

At approximately 8:48 a.m. on the morning of September 11, 2001, the first pictures of the burning World Trade Center were broadcast on live television. The news anchors, reporters, and viewers had little idea what had happened in lower Manhattan, but there were some people who did know. By that time, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), the National Military Command Center, the Pentagon, the White House, the Secret Service, and Canada’s Strategic Command all knew that three commercial airplanes had been hijacked. They knew that one plane had been flown deliberately into the World Trade Center’s North Tower; a second plane was wildly off course and also heading toward Manhattan; and a third plane had abruptly turned around over Ohio and was flying back toward Washington, DC.

So why, at 9:03 a.m.—fifteen minutes after it was clear the United States was under terrorist attack—did President Bush sit down with a classroom of second-graders and begin a 20-minute pre-planned photo op? No one knows the answer to that question. In fact, no one has even asked Bush about it.

I'm not going to use today as an excuse to drum up any anti-government conspiracy theories.

I'm not going to sit and lecture about all the evidence that leads towards our government's involvement of 911. I'm not going to rant about the Bush administration or talk about how the news and media companies have all been bought and paid for.

Not today...

But you'd better believe that I'll continue to talk about this subject with anyone willing to listen the other 364 days of the year.

Take a few moments out of your day to honor the innocent men, women and children who lost their lives that terrible day in our history.
