Shots of the Day: 911 Freedom Rally

Quick shot of the action at our 911 Freedom Rally at Ground Zero. I have no time to post (we are screening our film shortly, The Ground Zero Mosque: The Second Wave of the 911 Attacks, at the Actors Temple Studio in the theater district), but our event was incredible. 911 family members, first responders, global voices of freedom and freedom lovers from all over the world converged on West Broadway and Park Place for an historic event.

So much to tell ........... amazing.

Video, pictures and my thoughts will follow ..........

UPDATE: Pamela Hall captured these:

Pamela, that's a beautiful picture! I didn't see any news coverage of the event. I'm looking forward to your videos and pictures. Wish I were there!

[Warren]

I didn't see any news coverage of this ralley on Fox, but then I wasn't watching all day. Sorry that I couldn't be there.

[ahem]

Awesome. I wish I lived in NYC.

[Larry A. Singleton]

Why wasn't there some kind of live feed for the event?

Bless ya, great lady...i'm sure they'll be worth waiting for

[Nat's daughter]

Thanks for sending this video. Absolutely sickening how the good people of Britain were treated as opposed to the muslim scum!!! Dear G-D, when will the free world wake the hell up??? Pamela, I heard your rally was terrific and look forward to more pictures and a video.

[Stendec]

I monitored Fox News and CNN to see what they might say about this event. The answer: zero--not a video clip, not a still photo, not even a passing mention during hourly "news breaks" between major segments of the all-day 9/11 coverage.

The only decent commentary I saw on the Islamic threat were one comment by a fire fighter (sorry, I missed his name), an nterview by Meghan Kelly of Mrs. Burlingame (wife of Flight 77 pilot), who dared to explain who and what attacked us on 9/11, and a statement by Donald Rumsfeld (during a 4-man panel discussion that included Vice President Dick Cheney) that we had not yet "even scratched the surface" in confronting the ideology behind the 9/11 attacks.

pamela, friends:

no one puts butts in the seats and shoes on the ground like pamela geller.

it appears another stellar event. yay!!!

john jay
milton freewater, oregon usa

p.s. now, you would think, at this point, that friends and foes alike would be noticing that pamela draws a crowd, ... , from introducing geert wilder to u.s. politics & politicians, to these rallies on 911, to the rally in columbus, ohio for rifqa bary.

you would think that at some point, some of these people, rivals and supporters alike would ask, why?

well, now, i have a theory. (i would, wouldn't i? laughing.)

it is, friends, because courageously says what she believes, she courageously supports those who advance the cause of good whether or not they are endorsed by "those who think they dictate such things," ... , and, more often than not, she is right. and, she says it just like she thinks it, no lukewarm version for public consumption, no holding back.

people sense that, instantly around her. and, that, folks, is why they love her.

and, come to her events. simple as that.

[Agnostic]

What a terrific event! I was there. Lots could be said, but I will limit myself to one issue: the nonsense claim that the movement against world wide jihad and islamic supremacism is racist. The speakers were of all colors and all religions, white and brown, Hindu, Sikh, Jewish and Christian. The audience listened respectfully and applauded enthusiastically for all. I can not imagine a less racist group of people.

[gullah]

Wish I could have been there this year Pamela.
Fox didn't show it because their masters, the Saudis, own around 12% of their stock and I would bet they told Fox they were not to cover it.

[Paulo Mendonca]

Lady,

Please, hurry up.
We need the photos.
We need the videos.
We need the news.

With so much invested crying alarm over Moslem fanaticism, how will you ever stop long enough to search for truth and realize you are being manipulated? The fiction of 9/11 precisely feeds your fears therefore it must be so. Only a Moslem-loving freedom-hating liberal communist satanic lunatic druggie who hates America would dare make the impertinent suggestion that the TV drama was fake and the entire story just a conspiracy of lies. Right? How ironic that the hoax's greatest defenders are its most pitiful victims: people who are "right" and therefore can afford to be poor shallow unthinking reactionary bigots without any need to re-assess what they "know to be so" from watching TV. After all, whatever Osama image the computer animated, black beard, brown beard, fat, thin, old, young, doesn't matter - the important thing is that the image claimed responsibility and that is good enough confirmation for anybody who "knows" the truth already.
The buildings were evacuated before they were imploded, nobody died, no planes were hijacked, the TV news showed fake footage, US Government's propaganda is much more extensive than anyone had previously realized, and the many actors who played a part in this drama were all paid extremely well for their efforts. After all, those poor dead camel jockeys on the other side of the globe, those mice that terrified us, they left behind plenty of oil wealth that justified the expense.
Wake up and think. Stop being manipulated. 9/11 was a grand fraud that might have worked to the advantage of the "good guys" but the next scripted event might not. Next time the fake antagonist might be a Jew or a Christian or somebody who likes to read books or wears eyeglasses. Therefore expose the 9/11 fraud and stop allowing yourself to be manipulated by lies.

[ahem]

How did you get to be so freaking stupid? Did it come on gradually or did your kid brother hit your in the head with a baseball bat repeatedly? And don't tell me you graduated from an Ivy League school. Here, you dropped your drool cup.

[gullah]

Oh sure barrelmaker, it was all made up. We'll let all the families that lost loved ones that day know they didn't really lose anyone.

Bet the muslims that flew planes into our buildings that day would be mighty upset to know you are denying their jihad. Yup, they'd be mighty upset with you.

[Bob in Florida]

Wish I could have been there to lend my support - I was there in heart...I too watched the news coverage to see what was going on but alas none was to be seen. I rode the train with a number of Cantor-Fitzgerald employees on a regular basis...they were aquaintances of mine and my daughter and their daughters met each other on "take your daughters to work" days. I worked in Lyndhurst, NJ at the time and had view to downtown NYC out of my office window...saw flight 175 fly into the South tower out that window real-time - and all of us in my office watched the towers come down out our windows and on TV that day...We went to church this morning to pray for the lost, and pray for the daughters we met on the train. I tell my daughters that this is not a tragedy, but an atrocity. And that the same ideoligy is planning to attack us any way they can. God bless all who were lost, all who live without their loved ones, and let us never forget.

[DanS.]

So what then happened to Andy Rosenblum, Cantor Fitz, great paying atty job - on the 104th floor? I'm sure his kids and wife would love to know where Andy skipped out to. No one died? huh? Maybe he is on a spying mission somewhere, maybe he did the time warp. Maybe you are schizoid and need meds?

ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FRACKING MIND?

BTW: Andy hated Islam and jerks like you.

[fern]

sniggers @ ahem ;)

[fern]

Most of them are so brave they feel the need to cover their ugly faces.
Today, at that event, two EDL members were stabbed, by muzlims. Both hospitalised.

[fern]

Should imagine Pam is truly whacked out. Look forward to the pics etc. Well done Pam et al.

[fern]

Look at this scum: http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/09/11/article-2036172-0DD5493B00000578-726_634x410.jpg

[DanS.]

SnuffPost ran a piece where the Rally was presented as the crackpot crowd of clowns. Nice insult to the Vets in attendance, the families of the murdered, the First Responders in attendance - I'll say there were about 50-100 press in addition to what was probably 2000 Patriots at the height.

Kudos to Pam Geller and Robert Spencer!! These two are the Paul Reveres of our time!

It was a good rally.

[DanS.]

btw: THIS PIC IS BEFORE THE RALLY GOT STARTED - IT FILLED IN NICELY (I'm holding the Constitution Flag on the right).

[sDee]

Indeed you are right john jay. People sense it instantly. Those of good who seek the truth sense a leader. Those of evil sense a mortal threat.

[fern]

Oh, if some are wondering why a few of the EDL can be seen sitting on the floor in the pic on the Daily Mail link, it is because the Police gave the EDL a Section 14 Dispersal Order. The Police didn't issue the same to the 'Muslims against Crusades' (MAC) - MAC, as usual, were given the kid-glove treatment.

[bari]

what a moron - what else is there to say?

[Agnostic]

My bet is you are a troll. I doubt you actually believe your nonsense post. Many of the people at this event, me included, had friends and relatives who were murdered on 911. Your post, I suspect, is mainly evidence of mental disorder. Although Pamela leaves the debate here pretty wide opened, your post and the responses should all simply be taken down.

[Cate]

I can't wait see the photos and videos, and hear the stories. Pamela - truly, I so admire your ability to push forward, to never give up, to keep the message ALWAYS at the forefront about the danger that the free world is up against with radical islam. God bless you!! And YOU ROCK!!

[sean]

'And that the same ideology is planning to attack us any way they can'

Although the jihadists didn't manage any attacks on the 10th anniversary of 9/11, thanks to the vigilance the security agencies, we can expect they'll try again in the run up to Christmas. Muslims hate Christmas.

[Betty]

I wish I could have been there tried to catch some thing on fox news that was a no go every time obama came on I turned the volume down I did not want to hear his lies he can't even read a passage from the HOLY BIBLE and make it sound as it should it sounded fake. LIKE HIM and the love of this country

[philipzhao]

Good to see so many Anerucans are wide awake. Buddha bless America!

Love from Taiwan

[sodacrackers2]

Pamela, thank you so much for what you do! We are awake and we are mighty!

[Always On Watch]

Well done!

There was no media coverage of the event on our local channels here in the D.C. area. It's a given that no national news outlet (Not even Fox?) skipped coverage.

[Carmen]

It's important you take your medications the doctor gave you. They were prescribed to you for a reason!

[Carmen]

Long ago I used to believe we had a free press and we could trust our news. But too many times I have seen them hide information and events that doesn't follow the party line. I stopped listening and trusting them. Again, here is another wonderful event in USA history and it's being hidden from the people and the world by our mainstream media. Thank God for the internet!

[Roz]

Love it! Wish I could have been there. Notice how the cops in the top picture KNOW they have nothing to fear from this group of freedom-loving people? I suspect their demeanor is a tad different when they are working any muslim event.

[Nat's daughter]

Watched some of the bloomberg event on TV. Family were reading the list of the murdered and most offered a brief statement about their loved one's. I was waiting, watching, listening and praying for one of them to yell out NO MOSQUE AT GROUND ZERO!!!!!!! After all, this was live and a perfect opportunity to disrespect bloomberg just as he has done to NY and America. I heard nothing from any of them.

[margarita]

WELL SAID, CARMEN!!!

[Papoose]

In reciting his chosen passage, he was afforded the opportinity to proclaim:

"I AM GOD."

[paul collins]

you prick!

[eavesdropper]

Pamela - you and Robert and Illario and Anders and Pamela Hall and all your other great speakers and guests are amazing. Fearless and determined.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for organizing this rally, for continuing to stand against the Ground Zero Mega Victory Mosque.

Thanks for having clergy and first responders and 9/11 family members there that aren't afraid to say "We were attacked! It wasn't a 'tragedy' - it was a sneak attack against America". And it was their kids and family members who were massacred by Islamic Jihadists.

The majority of Americans are behind you Pamela, too many are still a little squimish about getting out of their comfort zones to support public rallies like yours. But, I believe that everyday, more and more are getting off the couch and taking that first step. And its all because brave people like you and all those who attended - set the example and lead the way.

Thanks always for all your leadership, United We Stand, Together We Win. We must Stop the Islamization of America (because it is happening, its soft jihad, and only an awake populace can stop it and you are our bell-ringer - giving us hope and courage to do the hard job. Keep pushing back, one muddy boot in front of the other).

God bless you, God bless America, and God bless Israel.

[Overmanwarrior.wordpress.com]

Stop Islamization of Europe..........I love it! I'm glad someone is out there doing this! Looks like it was a wonderful event. We had something like that where I live, but there were "looters" there if you know what I mean, which left me thinking of how to articulate my feelings about it. It looks like you captured it right. There wasn't anybody at my event who wished to discuss the Islamization issue. Just the tragedy of the day itself. There was something not quite right about it.

HONORING THE VICTIMS OF 9/11

The best way to honor the victims of 9/11 is to reach all Americans with the truth that we're in a fight to the death for the fate of the earth with totalitarian Islam-the primary cause of that terrible day of destruction and death when 3000 died in New York, DC and Shanksville, PA. Those who are urging us to move past 9/11 and forget the event (by turning it into a day of national service or something) are either the enemy within who want us to sleep while they destroy us in secret; or the see-no-evil-in-Islam Left who 9/11 never awoke (to the civilizational struggle we're in) and want to remain sleeping in the belief that we, not Islam, were the cause. TOTALITARIAN ISLAM IS THE ENEMY! And 9/11, like Pearl Harbor throughout World War II, will remain fresh in the minds of all counter-Jihadists until it's defeated.

[bob]

You guys are all nuts.
Forget the religions and go back to work.
Islam might be antechrist, but torah or bible are not any better. Religions mean war, crime and death.
Imams, rabbi or priest, these guys are vermin and are useless scroungers.

[Kufar Dawg]

Amazing. Thank you Pamela. G-d bless you and yours.

I deliberately scanned our g-damn MSM media outlets to see if they had ANY mention of your rally -- they
didn't. I'm surprised you were allowed to have your rally at all, and I'll bet denying it was discussed at the highest levels of the NYC government collaborators of islamonazism.

[Kufar Dawg]

You're an ignorant asshole trying to use the typical, retarded atheist argument that all religions are the same, which is bullshit, considering the islamonazis have and still are persecuting/slaughtering/enslaving/raping Sikhs, Jews, Christians, Hindus, Bahais in ALL their islamonazi pigsties, all over the world. FO Ahmed.

[Kufar Dawg]

I agree Carmen I can't even bring myself to watch the MSM news outlets anymore -- because they're really broadcasting nothing more than islamonazi propaganda while pretending its the truth. Funnily enough, I've actually begun watching Pat Robertson's channel -- because they seem to be the only ones who report the truth about Israel or Islamonazism, even though I'm no real fan of Pat Robertson.

[Kufar Dawg]

Yeah the muzzies were just dancing in the streets in Saudi Barbaria and Gaza on 9-11 because they knew it was all faked. Did your parents have any children that lived?

[Cate]

17,727 ISLAMIC savages carried out terrorist since 9/11 in the name of their god. Almost 3,000 people were murdered by ISLAMIC terrorists on 9/11 in the name of their god, and first responders are dying by the day, after spending months cleaning up what ISLAMIC terrorists carried out. Just for the week of Aug 27 - Sept 2, ISLAMIC savages murdered 151 people in the name of their god, and critically injured 284 people in the name of their god. Here's yesterday's scorecard. 1) A journalist at a cafe bled to death after an ISLAMIC bombing in Iraq. 2) The bodies of 6 civilian contract workers were found in Afghanistan 5 days after they had been abducted by Sunni militants. 3) Children were killed in Afghanistan when ISLAMIC terrorists detonated a bomb. 4) ISLAMIC terrorists assassinated a police chief in Afghanistan.

Jews, Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, etc, have not carried out these savage murders. Just muslims. Who again is nuts?? Time to get with the program Bob, and open your eyes.

[ahem]

Islamism is not a religion; it's a fascist movement disguised as a religion. If you read the Koran, you'll see that anyone who follows it to the letter necessarily acts like a terrorist. There may be some milder form of Islam, practiced by cafeteria Muslims, that has a live-and-let-live attitude, but I have yet to see much evidence of it---its worshipers it are all too terrified of the fundamentalists to make a peep.

You should not be commenting on issues of which you are entirely ignorant.

[Dagny Taggart]

So the people I was acquainted with who perished in the war's first strike are figments of my deluded imagination, and the suffering and loss their families endure are likewise imaginary in your realm of conspiracy, I s'pose. Go back to playing Dungeons and Dragons in your mama's basement, asshole!

[Ajay]

So if 9-11 is a fraud, where has my relative been these last ten years? Or my friend? Where did he go? Don't tell me they've been in cahoots with this fraud and are in hiding somewhere all these years. Odd because they've never met.

[Kirschland]

Thank you Eavesdropper, I agree with everything that you wrote, but I just wasn't able to articulate as well as you did. Soft Jihad is well and thriving in Northeast Florida where I have a condo; it is amazing that in a neighboring city, Jacksonville, Florida, a former official of CAIR was able to get himself appointed and mentored by two ex-mayors, who absolutely thrust Mr. Parvez Ahmed, an "Unindicted Co-Conspirator of Terrosim" on to the "Human Rights Commission" where he now wields power like a co-mayor. It appears that "former" members of CAIR have found a way to be ensconced into positions of power without the bother of an elction in our supposedly free society. Being placed in government, where there is actually little accountability , is an insidious form of "Soft Jihad". Thank you, Berengaria

[Nathan H]

Wished I could have been there, but the Pacific commute is too much for a weekend. No surprises on the Bloomberg front, he wants the middle east blood oil money, Obama remains true to his childhood roots and the main stream media stays silent, licking its lips in anticipation of the billion plus dollars the democrats promise in media spending next year. Forget pc sensitivity training, the media needs to be sent back to school for lessons on democracy and ethics.

Keep up the good fight Pamela.

[Peter]

I was also scanning the networks in hopes of seeing any coverage that was NOT the 'official' rally. Finding none was only mildly dissapointing but not at all unexpected. Unable to attend, I went to a local memorial which featured an appearance by one of the survivors. The story of Earl Johnson's slow and fearful trek down the stairs as the building shook around them was very moving.

Thank you for your efforts, Pamela. I early await the video uploads.

Peter

[Tom Billesley]

The red stop lights (? signalling StopIOA) in the background of the shots of Ilario Pantano and Ezra Levant at the lectern are a brilliant touch. Also, in the penultimate picture, nice framing of Pamela standing directly in front of and defending the US flag.

[Tom Billesley]

There's a passing mention on the France24 site:
http://www.france24.com/en/20110912-how-september-11-changed-new-york-imam-shamsi-ali-job-mosque-ground-zero
However their reporter Leela Jacinto wrongly describes the freedom rally as an anti-GZM demonstration and, comme d'habitude, takes an opportunity to carelessly smear Robert Spencer by associating his name with that of Anders Breivik.

[Cheryl Barker]

Excellent post, ApolloSpeaks, very well said! We are "in a fight to the death for the fate of the earth." But there are many Americans who refuse to understand or are unable to understand that civilization is on the brink of destruction by these savages. They smirk at you. I don't know what it will take to convince them.

[juniper]

God bless you all and God bless America!! You look fabulous, Pamela!!

[karl anglin]

Great rally!!!!!!!!!!
Keep going Pamela!!!!!!!

[wb]

From what I could tell, wasn't the "crackpot crowd of clowns" the 50-60 or so who held a rally in support of the GZM?

[Rita]

Quite a few of us here in Australia, where the dhimmi media offered us a non-stop "catering to Islamist sensitivities, and their sufferings and never mind the real victims" were with you in spirit!

Thanks for your courage
Thanks for the photos
Looking forward to hearing all.

[AuntieMadder]

Good Muslims execute atheists, too.

[Prophet]

Thank you Pamela and Robert for your hard work and dedication. I really am filled with admiration for you. Wish you two could be cloned ! Keep at it; more and more curiousity will get people to asking questions..and all we have to do is tell the truth to make a lasting and right impression . In that case the truth will captivate.

I need to thank you also for all the wonderful pictures - it's a thrill to see them .-seriously !
