NEVER FORGET: 9/11 Jumpers from HELL (GRAPHIC IMAGES) (hat tip Jane)
How far we've come ......."Seven years after 9/11 come Thursday, I don't think we really know what we, as a people, are all about. Are we still fighting "terrorism"? Are we still exporting democracy? What principles have we chucked over these years? What principles have held fast?" (Diana West here)
The following are a selection of MEMRI TV clips about 9/11 from this year:

If you haven't seen the Naudet documentary, I BEG YOU to watch. The Nadet brothers happened to be filming a documentary on NY firefighters. The rest is history ...... 9/11 BY THE NAUDET BROTHERS PART 1 OF 6 Narrated by Robert DeNiro It is unfortunate that the Academy Awards failed to nominate the documentary “911" for Best Documentary in 2002. Made by Gedeon and Jules Naudet it is arguably the greatest documentary ever filmed. Two French brothers who look dissimilar arrived in New York City circa 1989. Was greatness predicted in both at an early age? As many people know, the Naudets were actually filming a documentary about a rookie firefighter when the World Trade Center was attacked. Their skill level with the pre-9/11/01 footage is obvious; somehow the Naudets were turning a group of firefighters into skilled actors. All of the firefighters from Engine 7 that we see in the production appear to be completely at ease with being filmed candidly. One singular example of the willingness of this cast to perform is seen when skinny, tall, amiable Jules is preparing food. A firefighter moving behind Jules expertly cracks that if Jules continues to cook they’ll all be able to wear his shirts. It is difficult imagining this gag was accomplished with a single take, leading one to wonder how much of the rest of it was recorded this way. ‘911’ is a curious blend of documentary and historical drama. A number of the montages we see appear impossible. For example, to represent the morning of 9/11/01 we see breakfast on the firehouse griddle, a smiling Chief enjoying a quiet moment and firemen putting on their protective gear and exiting the firehouse. Were these images all acquired on 9/11/01? If so, the Naudets must have jumped out of their beds shooting video. If not, then technically this sequence is fiction. It is unclear where the fictional elements end and the documentary work begins. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||






















pamela:
the tapes. heartbreaking. shattering. how can people not understand that these deaths must be avenged, these lives redeemed.
why are people still not white hot with anger?
i know how hard you work, i know how many of these tapes you listened to in order to play the ones that most reveal the truth, i know how you suffer through this. how you do it, day after day, i do not know.
thank you. thank you for reminding us. thank you for your passion. thank you for your caring.
and, thank you for my renewed anger. we will avenge them.
i hope john mccain & sarah palin watch this. they will understand.
it is a waste of time to worry about obama & biden: they refuse to understand, and will not, ever. they do not care, and will not, ever.

Well done lady.
May all the victims remain resting in the hands of the Lord with peace and happiness.

I watched the horror as it happened, on tv here in the UK.
Nothing will ever erase those images.
Words can never describe the anger, shock, despair and disgust felt that day.
We will NEVER forget.

Anyone stupid enough to believe that Mohammed was a prophet and that islam is a religion of peace is stupid enough to believe that 9-11 was comitted by the "Jooooz".

The fight must and will continue, the fight between good and evil.
If you have any doubt as to whether Muslim states are evil, just listen carefully to what their honored clerics, leaders, and 'researchers' have to say.
Even more importantly, listen carefully to what American-born Muslims have to say: a young 20-something, superlatively-educated CAIR spokesbitch stated, earlier this year on NPR, that the events of 9/11 were 'kind of an injustice, but had to be fully-considered in light of US global imperialism'.
You can either stomp it out, or turn a blind eye to it, and hope it never happens again.
Has anyone today received an invitation to a 9/11 memorial service at their local mosque?
