"Hoax"?: Boeing confirms 767 part found on Ground Zero mosque site is from Sept. 11 terror attack

The offensive and disgusting Gound Zero mosqueteers called the 911 plane part found at the supremacist Ground Zero mosque site a "hoax."

Hoax? The Ground Zero mega mosque is a hoax. There has never been a mosque of reconcilation and healing built on the site of a jihadi attack. Ever. It is an Islamic pattern to build triumphal mosques on the cherished sites of conquered lands.

Are the Feds and NYPD checking the area for human remains? We are still finding human remains all these many years later. That building is a war memorial. Gamal intends to desecrate that site. We must fight it every step of the way.

"Boeing confirms 767 part found on Park Pl. is from Sept. 11 terror attack" NY Post (thanks to Pamela Hall)

 

 

A charred portion of jet wing found in an alley near Ground Zero belonged to one of the two planes that smashed into the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001, officials confirmed yesterday.

Boeing technicians informed the NYPD that the five-foot-long section of metal support for a wing flap that helps regulate speed — discovered at the rear of 51 Park Place near the "Ground Zero Mosque'' — was matched to one of the two 767s.

“It is believed to be from one of the two aircraft destroyed on Sept. 11, 2001, but it could not be determined which one,” said NYPD spokesman Paul Browne.

The rusty piece of metal is technically known as a trailing edge flap support structure. It was first thought to be part of the plane's landing gear because both sections have hydraulics that look similar.

The discovery of the piece last week spurred officials to search the area near the controversial mosque project for any human remains that also might have ended up near it.

“The NYPD continues to work with the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner as it prepares to sift soil at the location for human remains,” Browne said.

The wing-flap support will be removed from the site after that process is completed Wednesday and transported to the Police Department’s property division before its final destination is decided.

Browne said the National Transportation Safety Board sometimes takes aircraft parts involved in historic events and places them in museums.  

Yes, that part should be placed in a 911 museum, in a war memorial at that site. Eminent domain. Declare it and do it.

Why is the FBI covering up for 911 Saudi jihadists?

There is a jawdropping expose in the Miami Herald today. Why has the full truth about Saudi Arabia and the 9/11 attacks not yet been told? And why is the FBI working so furiously to make sure the true story never makes the light of day?

Thanks to the dogged pursuit by BrowardBulldog.org of these documents under the Freedom of Information act, the release shows "information contained in the documents flatly contradicts prior statements by FBI agents in Miami and Tampa who have said the investigation found no evidence connecting the al-Hijjis to the hijackers or the 9/11 plot."

"FBI report: Florida family had ties to people linked to 9/11 attacks" Miami Herald (thanks to Dr. Andrew Bostom)

A Saudi family who “fled” their Sarasota area home weeks before 9/11 had “many connections” to “individuals associated with the terrorist attacks on 9/11/2001,” according to newly released FBI records.

One partially declassified document, marked “secret,” lists three of those individuals and ties them to the Venice, Fla., flight school where suicide hijackers Mohamed Atta and Marwan al-Shehhi trained. Accomplice Ziad Jarrah took flying lessons at another school a block away.

Atta and al-Shehhi were at the controls of the jetliners that slammed into the twin towers of New York’s World Trade Center, killing nearly 3,000 people. Jarrah was the hijacker-pilot of United Airlines Flight 93, which crashed in a field in rural Pennsylvania.

The names, addresses and dates of birth of the three individuals tied to the flight school were blanked out before the records were released to BrowardBulldog.org amid ongoing Freedom of Information Act litigation.

The information in the documents runs counter to previous FBI statements. It also adds to concerns raised by official investigations but never fully explored, that the full truth about Saudi Arabia and the 9/11 attacks has not yet been told.

National security and other reasons are cited for numerous additional deletions scattered across the 31 released pages. Four more pages were withheld in their entirety.

The records cast new light on one of the remaining unresolved mysteries regarding Florida’s many connections to the 9/11 attacks: What went on before the attacks at 4224 Escondito Cir., the home of Abdulaziz al-Hijji and his family?

The documents are the first released by the FBI about its once-secret probe in Sarasota. Information contained in the documents flatly contradicts prior statements by FBI agents in Miami and Tampa who have said the investigation found no evidence connecting the al-Hijjis to the hijackers or the 9/11 plot.

Details about the al-Hijji family and the Sarasota investigation first came to light in a story published simultaneously by BrowardBulldog.org and The Miami Herald on Sept. 8, 2011.

The story told how concerned residents in the gated community of Prestancia tipped the FBI, shortly after the 9/11 attacks, to the al-Hijjis’ sudden departure in late August 2001. The family left behind three cars, clothes, furniture, diapers, toys, food and other items.

The story also reported that a counterterrorism officer and Prestancia’s former administrator, Larry Berberich, both said an analysis of gatehouse security records — log books and snapshots of license tags — had determined that vehicles either driven by or carrying several of the future hijackers had visited the al-Hijji home.

Monsters and Liars: @RosieGray over at @BuzzFeed says I didn't get this flag

The enemies of freedom are on a crusade to destroy champions of freedom by any means necessary. The latest big fat lie comes from quasi-stalker Rosie Gray over at Buzzfeed. Second-hand Rosie is saying that I didn't get the 911 flag that I got. Call me, Rosie! Ask me how I got it!

On October 2011, I was presented with a towering, overwhelming honor at the Fort Lauderdale Tea party event where I was scheduled to speak. Here is an excerpt from my post on October 2011, the day it was presented to me at the Fort Lauderdale Tea party.

Before I addressed the crowd, I was shocked and overcome when the United States Marine Corps presented me with the flag flown on September 11th over Camp Leatherneck, "amid the battlefields of Afghanistan during decisive operations against enemy forces in Helmand Province." Can you imagine such an honor? But there's more. When a soldier at Camp Leatherneck heard that I was to be given the flag, he asked that the MP armband (seen here) that he wore before he lost his arm in combat be sent along with the flag. I was presented with both. Overwhelming. 

 I cannot describe to you my shock, my awe. I hardly know what to say -- these items are sacred. Our freedom is written in the blood of these heroes, but they honor me with these treasures. I do not deserve such precious gifts. But I heard that a prominent Senator had requested this 911 flag, and the heroes at Camp Leatherneck said "No, we are giving it to Pamela Geller." Let me tell you, that was delicious.

I will never forget that day as long as I live. Never.

These men, these men to whom we owe our lives, thank you, may G-d bless you and watch over you.

Well, professional smear hag Rosie Gray says this didn't happen. Of course, Rosie didn't call for comment or ask me where I got the flag or actually pursue the story. (The last time she asked me for a comment she didn't run it -- of course. Afraid people might agree with me.) She just was looking to libel and defame me. Vulture.

Rosie, update your post.

Rosie Gray should ask the USMC who received the "United States flag flown over Camp Leatherneck amid the battlefields of Afghanistan during decisive operations against enemy forces in Helmand province on September 11, 2011."

Notice smarmy Rosie's smear "anti-Islam" activist. I am not anti-Muslim or anti-anyone, and this label smears my work in defense of the freedom of speech and equality of rights for all as a campaign against a group of people. Is opposing jihad and sharia anti-Muslim? If so, then Rosie is suggesting that Muslims support jihad and the sharia, the most oppressive and brutal ideology on the face of the earth -- in direct contradiction to the idea that most Muslims are "moderate."

Marine Corps: We Didn't Give Pamela Geller A Flag As A Gift Rosie Gray, Buzz Feed

“The Marine Corps as a whole wouldn't do something like that,” Flanagan says.

WASHINGTON — A Marine Corps spokesman said on Friday that the Marines had not officially given anti-Islam activist Pamela Geller a U.S. flag as a gift, contrary to a Long Island local news report.

"It's entirely plausible that a Marine gave her a flag, but it wouldn't be accurate to say that the Marine Corps gave her a flag," said Captain Eric Flanagan, a spokesman for the Marine Corps. "The Marine Corps as a whole wouldn't do something like that."

Great Neck, New York's Patch site, in a story about Geller's controversial upcoming appearance at the Great Neck synagogue, reported:

At the April 14 Great Neck event, Geller will be introduced by Greg Buckley, whose son, Lance Cpl. Greg Buckley, Jr., was one of three U.S. Marines killed in a "Green on Blue" insider attack on a military base in the Helmand province, Afghanistan, on Aug 10. Buckley Sr. is calling for swift justice for the murderers of his son and demanding prosecution on American soil as terrorists.

The Marine Corps presented Geller with the flag flown on September 11, 2011, over Camp Leatherneck, "amid the battlefields of Afghanistan during decisive operations against enemy forces in Helmand Province."

According to Flanagan, individual Marines can bring home flags from where they served.

"It would just be like if I were out there, I could have flown one and given it to you," Flanagan said.

Geller has made headlines for her anti-Islam ads in the New York City subway, which she followed up with an ad series about "Islamic apartheid" on Metro-North trains last month, as well as bus ads in Chicago.

Here are some snaps of the event where the honor was presented:

21 potential human remains of 9/11 victims recovered from World Trade Center site

Perhaps more families will have closure. I wonder if any of these remains were found in or around the now-defeated Ground Zero mosque.

New York City medical examiner says 21 potential human remains of 9/11 victims recovered from World Trade Center site NY Daily News (thanks to Lookmann)

Renewed search of WTC site for possible remains of Sept. 1, 2001 victims of terror attack brings total number of remains found during current effort to 39.

The New York City medical examiner’s office says more possible pieces of human remains have been found during the sifting of newly uncovered debris from the site of the September 2001 terrorist attacks.
The office says 21 potential human remains were recovered Wednesday.

That brings the total found during the current effort to 39. About 60 truckloads of debris that could contain tiny human bone fragments have been unearthed by construction crews working on the new World Trade Center tower in recent years.
City officials say investigators will spend 10 weeks trying to find remains in that debris.

The city’s last such effort ended in 2010. Some 2,750 people died at the World Trade Center in the Sept. 11 attacks, but remains of only 1,634 people have been identified.

Bin Laden's Son-in-Law: Pleads Not Guilty, Declares "jihad is a duty"

And of course, in accordance with Islam, he is not guilty.

A month after 9/11, Abu Ghaith called on every Muslim to join the fight against the United States, declaring that "jihad is a duty."

"The Americans must know that the storm of airplanes will not stop, God willing, and there are thousands of young people who are as keen about death as Americans are about life," he said in the Oct. 9, 2001 speech.

He should not be tried in a US court. he should not be given the rights and privileges of a US citizen. Abu Ghaith was the propaganda minster for Al Qaeda (Central Command). Would FDR have brought Goebbels to NY to be tried?

The star of AFDI's next jihad ad:

On a side note, the AP (associated with terrorists press) calls this jihadist murderer "charismatic." Really? What's their idea of a sex symbol? Abu Hamza?

Bin Laden's Son-in-Law: Pleads Not Guilty in NY  WASHINGTON March 8, 2013 (AP) ABC News

Sulaiman Abu Ghaith, the charismatic al-Qaida spokesman, fundraiser and son-in-law to Osama bin Laden, is likely to have a vast trove of knowledge about the terror network's central command but not much useful information about current threats or plots, intelligence officials and other experts say.

Abu Ghaith pleaded not guilty Friday to conspiring to kill Americans in propaganda videos that warned of further assaults against the United States as devastating as the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon that killed nearly 3,000 people.

Believed to be more of a strategic player in bin Laden's inner circle than an operational plotter, Abu Ghaith would be the highest-ranking al-Qaida figure to stand trial on U.S. soil since 9/11. Intelligence officials say he may be able to shed new light on al-Qaida's inner workings — concerning al-Qaida's murky dealings in Iran over the past decade, for example — but probably will have few details about specific or imminent ongoing threats.

He gave U.S. officials a 22-page statement after his Feb. 28 arrest in Jordan, according to prosecutors. They would not describe the statement.

The jihadists are all so ..... beefcake handsome.

Reuters - Suleiman Abu Ghaith, the son-in-law of Osama bin Laden who served as al-Qaeda's spokesman, has been arrested and detained in Jordan in an operation led by Jordanian authorities and the FBI, U.S. government sources said.

  A former spokesman for al-Qaeda and son-in-law of its founder, Osama bin Laden, has been captured overseas and is being brought to the United States, where he is expected to face trial in New York, U.S. officials announced Thursday.

Sulaiman Abu Ghaith was initially detained in Turkey but was taken into U.S. custody in Jordan while he was in the process of being deported to Kuwait, according to U.S. officials.

US "Postpones" Award for Vicious Jew-Hater and 911 Fan

Yesterday, I posted on Obama's latest act of savage theater: Obama and Swiftboat Kerry to Honor Vicious Jew-Hater and 9/11 Fan. The jawdropping award went viral, and today the Obama adminstration is "postponing it." They should be out and out cancelling it and apologizing to Americans and all freedom-loving civilized people across the world. Instead, they wuss out this way, but it is better than giving this savage an award.

Expect cries of "islamophobia" and "the Zionists are running the wooooorld!" from the usual suspects. I am glad that Obama reacted to the outrage by good and decent human beings.

 

Miami Herald: US postpones award for Egyptian woman over tweets By BRADLEY KLAPPER Associated Press

WASHINGTON -- The Obama administration is postponing an award for an Egyptian activist who rallied worldwide attention against forced "virginity tests" on female protesters because of anti-American and anti-Semitic comments discovered on her Twitter account.

The State Department announced earlier this week that Samira Ibrahim would be among 10 recipients of the International Women of Courage award presented by Secretary of State John Kerry and first lady Michelle Obama on Friday. But State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Friday the U.S. would hold off on awarding Ibrahim while officials investigate the tweets, which include support for attacks against U.S. diplomatic installations and praise for a terrorist assault against Israeli citizens in Bulgaria.

Ibrahim, who has already arrived in the U.S, says her account was hacked, though the comments stretch back several months. After five Israelis were killed in a bus explosion in July, she welcomed the "good news." In other posts, she declared Saudi Arabia's royal family "dirtier than Jews" and attributed all crimes against society to Jews and referenced Adolf Hitler.

911 Familes say No to Censorship of Zero Dark Thirty

Mort covert enforcement of sharia. Can you imagine such nonsense being spewed concerning Goebbels or Goering or Hitler during WWII? And they never slaughtered on home soil.

Zero Dark Thirty was an excellent film depicting great American heroes. If you haven't seen it, go. When I grow up, I want to be Maya (the protagonist hero of the film). I am not surprised that leftist quislings are doing the work of sharia enforcers in seeking to suppress and censor this brilliantly directed account of the search for Osama bin Laden.

I am not surprised that the Academy passed up director Kathryn Bigelow for an Oscar nod. You can always count on those lily-livered, mealy-mouthed tools to never do the right thing.

9/11 Family Group Says: "NO" to censorship of Zero Dark Thirty film re Bin Laden

As a group of 9/11 families sharing a rare moment of justice and elation in the viewing of a film chronicling the search for and ultimate death of Osama Bin Laden, we find it deeply disturbing that some of our elected officials want to discourage other 9/11 families and the public from seeing this outstanding film. Politicians who have criticized the movie and made misleading claims about it, stand in the way of engaging a public dialogue for a stirring film which invokes feelings of patriotism and perseverance and honors our military, our country, and the victims of 9/11.

We are greatly concerned that a few pundits, "film critics" and elected officials are badmouthing this movie because of the water boarding scenes and because this film directly confronts the enduring terrorist threat.

We feel this is history - like it or not -and no effort should be made to rewrite or censor it for political correctness. Certainly there should be no organized boycott or suppression of films based on political differences. The word for that is "censorship." How bizarre that members of an industry that suffered so much during the McCarthy era would even consider doing this to their own members!

The use of the term "torture" by elected officials in hopes of dissuading people to endorse or view this film is antithetical to what our government should be all about.

As 9/11 family members whose loved ones were massacred at Ground Zero on September 11, 2001, we applaud Mark Boal and Katherine Bigelow for presenting a film that honors history, our military, our country, and the victims of 9/11 - through the excellent portrayal of how the US government and Navy Seals worked to apprehend OBL. There is still a constitutional right to freedom of speech in our country, and censoring a film is totally un American and against the tenets of our founding fathers. This film inspires dialogue and no elected official can censor any film. We do not want to allow Senators Feinstein, Levin, and McCain or actors David Clennon and 9/11 Truthers Ed Asner and Martin Sheen - to inhibit our fellow Americans from seeing " Zero Dark Thirty." Our loved ones died for these freedoms on 9/11 - and no one should ever try to abridge them. All citizens should see this film and make their own decisions about its value. This is what democracy is about.

NEW YORK — The New York City medical examiner’s office has identified the remains of another victim of the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center.

The office announced Thursday it had identified Anna A. Laverty, a 52-year-old legal secretary at Fiduciary Trust Co. who lived in Middletown.

The identification came after remains recovered in the original efforts at the World Trade Center site were retested.

More than 2,750 people are listed as having died at the World Trade Center in the attacks. The number of identifications is now 1,634.

Above: AFDI ad campaign submitted to WMATA to counter Muslim Brotherhood quran ads that misinform and dissemble

Yesterday, the FBI and NYPD foiled a jihadist's plot to blow up the Federal Reserve building with a 1000 lib bomb. There have been 19, 776 deadly Islamic plots since 911.

">List of foiled terror attack plots in NYC since 9/11

NEW YORK (WABC) -- Known terrorist plots against New York City since 9/11, and individuals with NYC ties who have been al Qaeda operatives.

LINK: READ FULL ARREST STORY

BROOKLYN BRIDGE Iyman Faris, a U.S.-based, al Qaeda operative, planned to cut the bridge's support cables but was deterred, in part, by the NYPD's 24-hour coverage of the bridge. Faris sent al Qaeda leaders a coded message that, "the weather is too hot," indicating he could not carry out the mission. He was arrested in 2003, pleaded guilty and sentenced to federal prison.

SUBWAY CYANIDE - A plot to disperse cyanide gas in the subway system was called off at the last minute by Iyman Zawahiri for what he said was "something bigger."

 NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE & CITIGROUP HEADQUARTERS - Al Qaeda plot to use vehicles to bomb the New York Stock Exchange, Citibank, and other financial institutions. NYPD tactical teams were deployed to high-threat locations, and vehicle inspections were increased in response. Dhiren Barot/Issa al-Hindi, an associate of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, pleaded guilty in 2006.

GARMENT DISTRICT PLOT The NYPD and FBI arrested Uzair Paracha for material support of terrorism in New York based on intelligence developed overseas. Paracha is reported to have discussed with top al Qaeda leaders the prospect of smuggling weapons and explosives  possibly even a nuclear deviceinto Manhattan's Garment District through his father's import-export business.

HERALD SQUARE SUBWAY STATION An NYPD undercover officer helped disrupt a 2004 plot to bomb the Herald Square subway station by lone-wolf admirers of Al Qaeda. Shahawar Matin Siraj and James Elshafay conspired to blow up the 34th Street subway station, including surveilling the subway station, choosing the location for their bombs, and diagramming entrances and exits.

PATH TRAIN and WTC RETAINING WALL A multi-agency investigation disrupted a plot to attack NYC's underground transit link with New Jersey in 2006. Law enforcement monitoring international chat rooms discovered suspects' plan to destroy a PATH train tunnel and the retaining wall at Ground Zero, to flood the New York Financial District. The main operative was taken into custody in Lebanon and admitted to plotting the attack.

JFK AIRPORT/BUCKEYE PIPELINE - Al Qaeda sympathizers plotted to bomb the fuel tanks and pipeline at John F. Kennedy Airport, through which jet fuel is transported from New Jersey through Staten Island, Brooklyn, and Queens. Four suspects were arrested in New York and Trinidad in 2007; three were later sentenced to life in prison.

TRANSATLANTIC PLOT  A British-based plot to destroy seven commercial aircraft over the Atlantic Ocean or fly one or more of them into East Coast targets including New York City resulted in multiple arrests in London.

LONG ISLAND RAILROAD - A plot to bomb a Manhattan-bound LIRR commuter train was discussed at the highest levels of al Qaeda operational leadership. See Bryant Neal Vinas, of Long Island.

BRONX SYNAGOGUES  Disrupted in May 2009, the Riverdale plot targeted two Jewish centersa synagogue and a Jewish community centerin the Bronx, and Stewart Air Base in Newburgh, NY. The NYPD and FBI arrested four men who were convicted in 2010.

NYC SUBWAY & TRANSIT HUBS - In September 2009, Najibullah Zazi and others planned a series of coordinated suicide bombings of NYC subway transit hubs at rush hour.

TIMES SQUARE Faisal Shahzad attempted on May 1, 2010 to detonate a bomb inside an SUV parked in Times Square on a busy Saturday night.

MANHATTAN SYNAGOGUE - The NYPD disrupted a plot by two Queens men, Ahmed Ferhani and Mohamed Mamdouh, to bomb a synagogue in Manhattan in May 2011.

JOSE PIMENTEL - Muslim convert Jose Pimentel was arrested in November 2011 in Manhattan as he constructed bombs and plotted to killer soldiers returning home to New York from Afghanistan and Iraq. He had followed instructions in an article from Al Qaeda's English-language magazine "Inspire" on "How to Build a Bomb in the Kitchen of Your Mom."

JESSE MORTON & REVOLUTION MUSLIM: The case of Jesse Morton, a New York City-based Muslim convert, resulted from NYPD monitoring, combined with the investigative and prosecutorial expertise of the FBI and the U.S. Attorney for Eastern District of Virginia. Morton was apprehended in Morocco and pleaded guilty in Feb. 2012 to soliciting murder and encouraging violence via the Internet; Morton was sentenced in June to 138 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release, for using his position as a leader of the "Revolution Muslim" organization's internet sites to conspire to solicit murder and encourage violent extremism. His partner Zachary Chesser was sentenced for providing material support to al Shabaab, communicating threats and soliciting acts of extremism, including against the creators of South Park. Chesser and Morton were associates of Mohamed Alessa and Carlos Almonte, two New Jersey men who pleaded guilty in March 2011 to conspiring to murder individuals overseas on behalf of a foreign terrorist group.

After GITMO Judge rules 9/11 savage KSM can wear US camouflage at trial, KSM lectures military tribunal, accuses U.S. of killing “millions”

Obama coddles Islamic jihadists. It's a travesty.

Guantanamo judge rules 9/11 savage KSM can don camouflage at trial. This jihadi savage slaughtered 3,000 Americans, and he is wearing US army fatigues? They should put this pig in a diaper. This is unbelievable.

Evil 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed will be allowed to dress up like a soldier for his military trial next year — and could even shame the proceedings by wearing an American uniform.

At a pretrial hearing yesterday at Guantanamo Bay, a military judge cleared the way for the admitted mass murderer to wear camouflage clothing at his trial for the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, which killed nearly 3,000 people on American soil.

Although the ruling would forbid the fiendish al Qaeda leader from wearing any present-day US uniform, the judge’s decision doesn’t close the door on Mohammed sticking his arms through the sleeves of an American uniform no longer in use.

Accused 9/11 plotter lectures military tribunal

Associated Press GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba (AP) -- The self-styled terrorist mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks lectured a military court on government hypocrisy Wednesday and wore a previously banned camouflage vest to his pretrial hearing before being rebuked by the judge for his comments.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was in court as part of a weeklong hearing focusing largely on the secrecy rules that will govern legal proceedings against him at the U.S. base in Cuba.

Mohammed was allowed to wear a hunting-style camouflage vest with his white tunic and turban over the objections of prosecutors, who feared it might disrupt the proceedings.

... his five-minute speech denouncing the government's arguments about the need to protect national security transfixed the court and drew a reprimand from the judge.

[...]Mohammed told the judge, Army Col. James Pohl, that "the government uses national security as it chooses," urging him to keep that in mind as he considers requests from defense lawyers and the American Civil Liberties Union to scale back the rules for evidence and testimony.

"Many can kill people under the name of national security, and to torture people under the name of national security," the Arabic-speaking Mohammed said through a translator. "And detain their underage children under the name of national security."

In an apparent reference to Osama bin Laden, Mohammed noted that "the president can take someone and throw them into the sea in the name of national security."

He also made an oblique reference to Anwar al-Awlaki, the American-Yemeni militant killed in a September 2007 U.S. drone strike, and told the judge not to be affected by the "crocodile tears" of prosecutors when they refer to the nearly 3,000 people killed in the 2001 attacks.

"When the government feels sad for the killing of 3,000 on Sept. 11, we also should feel sorry that the U.S. government ... has killed thousands of people," Mohammed said, before correcting himself to say millions of people.

"Your blood is not made of gold and ours is made of water. We are all human beings," he said.

No, you are not a human being, you are a savage.

[....] Mohammed and his four co-defendants face charges that include terrorism, conspiracy and 2,976 counts of murder, one count for each known victim of the attacks at the time the charges were filed. They could get the death penalty if convicted.

The trial is likely at least a year away.

Demonstrators carried posters and banners, one declaring "We are all Osama" under a picture of the late Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, as dozens of policemen stood guard before the embassy. Other banners read, "It is time for Islamic revolution", and "Democracy brings oppression".

"They (the hijackers) sacrificed their lives to defend fellow Muslims in Palestine," Muhammad Fachry, spokesman of the Sharia for Indonesia group, which organised the rally, told AFP. "What they did was a reminder to the American government to stop oppression against Muslims and support for the Israeli government," he said.

Son Hadi from the Jemaah Anshorut Tauhid, which has been labelled a terrorist group by the United States and sent supporters to take part in the rally, told AFP: "What the hijackers did was the start of the Muslim war against Western hegemony." Fachry said it was the first time his group, which was founded in 2010, had commemorated the attacks. He referred to the hijackers as "the magnificent 19", and praised their "bravery".

"American arrogance collapsed together with the World Trade Centre's Twin Towers," the organisers said in a statement.

Muslim-majority Indonesia has suffered its own share of terrorist attacks over the past decade. The largest, by regional terror network Jemaah Islamiyah, were the October 2002 Bali bombings that killed 202 people, mostly Western tourists.

"There are still fathers, sisters, cousins, partners, friends running into those burning towers"

"My Son Reads About 9/11 in School, But He Lives 9/11 at Home"

'There are still fathers, sisters, cousins, partners, friends running into those burning towers. Our nation called them to action after 9/11. Duffels packed. Kisses given. Tears cried. They march onto planes. Away from their families. Praying they return. Hoping you remember.'

By Janine Boldrin (military spouse)

I was pregnant with our first baby when I watched the Twin Towers fall, the Pentagon in flames, and a field in Pennsylvania scorched by terror. My personal connection to the moment those planes took away our country's innocence was mostly through people who knew people, friends in the Pentagon, a cousin who was in the middle of the chaos of Manhattan. I cried with the nation as I saw the posters held by those looking for their loved ones. I was transfixed by the incredible loss that reverberated across our country. And I drew my arms around my big, pregnant belly.

My husband was in the Army.

I remember turning to him that night and asking what it all meant for us. Little did we know that our next decade would be shaped by a single day. While the funerals were finishing in New York City and around the nation for those who perished, the funerals of soldiers dying overseas on the battlefield and in mess halls were beginning and would continue for the next eleven years.
I often wonder if America would mourn our soldiers more if their deaths didn't come in small tallies. If photographs of the men and women who died didn't show them in uniform but at their son's baseball game or daughter's dance recital, in their graduation cap, or their wedding day. If their pictures were on telephone poles or big boards in the middle of a city, would people take notice and cry out for our loss?

In December 2001, I gave birth to our first son. He would see his father go to Afghanistan when he was 1 year old. Then Iraq. Then Afghanistan again. He will turn 11 this year and his father will deploy for a third time to Afghanistan. The other day, someone raised their eyebrows when I told them. They said, "We're still sending soldiers there?" I wanted to cry. My heart almost slipped into my throat. I know people who have gone five, six, seven times. I know people whose husbands and wives have not come home. Full blocks in military towns are devoid of fathers and mothers. They just left a few weeks ago. They left nine months ago. They leave next summer. Many leave in a few weeks.

Some of them came home in coffins. More will.

Eleven years later. The posters are gone on the streets of New York City but the pictures are still going up on the nightly news of those who continue to be lost to the War on Terror. And, if you read the fine print, the War on Terror, the Afghanistan War, the "we stick around to advise them" version, no matter how its renamed, retooled, or reworked to make everyone else feel better, it means soldiers, human beings, our loved ones, are serving as they were asked to do.

Our son is now in fifth grade. He reads about 9/11 in school. He lives 9/11 at home.
Just as you honor the tremendous sacrifice that many made on that tragic day, please don't forget the service of our men and women who continue to be sent overseas and those families who wait for them at home.

There are still fathers, sisters, cousins, partners, friends running into those burning towers. Our nation called them to action after 9/11. Duffels packed. Kisses given. Tears cried. They march onto planes. Away from their families. Praying they return. Hoping you remember.

Hajj Malcolm Shabazz, Grandson Of Malcolm X, Accuses The US Of Carrying Out 9/11 And States: Hundreds Of Black Men Are Murdered Every Year In The US With Impunity

The problem is that black leaders like Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton hold these subversive demagogues up as black leadership. And Obama? Wright was his spiritual guru for 20 years. His book title was inspired by one of Wright's railing rants.

"Hajj Malcolm Shabazz, Grandson Of Malcolm X, Accuses The US Of Carrying Out 9/11 And States: Hundreds Of Black Men Are Murdered Every Year In The US With Impunity" MEMRI 9/11 Documentation Project

Following are excerpts from an interview with Hajj Malcolm Shabazz, grandson of Malcolm X, which aired on Press TV and was posted on Youtube on April 17, 2012:

  Malcolm Shabazz: "I don't believe in the presidency. I believe that the presidency post in the United States is nothing more than a puppet post. When we see movements like the Occupy movement where you have the 99% fighting against that 1% - it's not about color. It's about that minority, which keeps control of the majority.

"When Bill Clinton became president, many black people considered Bill Clinton to be the first black president. Why? Because he smoked a little weed, he played the saxophone, he had an oral sex situation in the White House with Monica Lewinsky – many things that they feel appeal to black people."

[…]

Interviewer: "Mr. Shabazz, you are a Muslim yourself, and you speak about minorities. Religious minorities, especially Muslims in America, are bearing the brunt of the post-9/11 policies, at home at least. Muslims in particular are depicted as foreigners and home-grown terrorists, and they are being spied upon solely on the basis of their religion. How difficult is it to be a Muslim in America?"

[…]

Malcolm Shabazz: "The thing is that when many people started burning the Koran, people from all over the country said: "Wow, they are burning the Koran. Why are they burning the Koran? What's in the Koran?" So many people who didn't know too much about the Koran… When they started this Koran-burning day, it compelled a lot of people to open it up and see what was within it. All praise to God, because of this, many people became Muslims.

"Just like 9/11 – Muslims didn't do 9/11, Muslims had nothing to do with 9/11. If you even research it, you see that everything that was utilized in order for 9/11 to take place pointed right back at the United States. Even the flight training – they received it here in the United States. The visas – from the United States. Everything – the airplanes they used – came from the United States.

"We Muslims don't take actions like this. Anybody to take such an action against civilians, as we already know, is not a Muslim. Many of the people who were involved in 9/11 itself were actually agents for the United States, whether it be CIA or whatever three-letter organization that exists within this country.

[…]

"There are hundreds of black men who are being murdered all over the United States of America every year with impunity.

[…]

"It's a continuation of institutionalized racism. What happens is that they didn't have so many prisons here, in the United States, during slavery. When they so-called abolished slavery, that's when they came up with this prison industrial complex. The United States has more people incarcerated than anywhere else in the world. It has more people incarcerated than China, and China has the most people in the world. As a matter of fact, if you were to take the prison population of all the other countries of the world, and you were to combine them together, I don't think it would equal the amount of people who are incarcerated here in the USA.

"That's correct. The so-called African Americans make up less than 12% of the population of the US, yet no matter what state you go to, you see that the majority of the prisoners within the prison population are black and Hispanic. In these institutions, people are forced to work for pennies on a dollar.

"If you look at the 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution, it says that slavery is abolished, except for those who serve within these penal institutions. So technically, by the book, those who are in prison are considered to be slaves. This is why they can be forced to work for a minimal minimum wage, which is less than the minimum wage here in the United States."

911 families appeal decision to make their loved ones' human remains an exhibit at 911 memorial museum

Majority of 911 families oppose human remains exhibit at 911 memorial museum

Video: 911 family describe the anguish over fight for the human remains of their loved ones during the February 2011 New York  City premiere of our film, The Ground Zero Mosque: The Second Wave of the 9/11 Attacks.

Who can forget the heartwrenching accounts of this gruesome development by 911 family members at our premiere? Regular Atlas readers are well aware of this disgusting act of desecration. Obama apologizes for the burning of a defiled quran, but it's OK for the human remains of Americans murdered in the largest Islamic attack in our nation's history to be a sideshow at a leftwing 911 museum exhibit where Daisy the Khan, Ground Zero mosqueteer, is an adviser, ensuring that the "muslim" perspective is "correctly" represented. Ugh.

‘Freak Show’: 911 Memorial Museum Officials Exploit Human Remains by Pamela Geller, Breitbart's Big Government

9/11 Families Deliver Letter to Mayor Bloomberg re: Human Remains at GZ Museum

The 911 families are appealing the fatwa from the Ayatollah Bloomberg regime.

9/11 Families Appeal Court Decision 

Seventeen 9/11 family members of WTC Victims have filed an appeal of a court decision. We were forced to file the original lawsuit and this current appeal because the City of New York and the 9/11 Memorial/Museum refused to seek the input of each of the WTC victims’ families regarding the current plan to place human remains in the basement of the 9/11 Museum. If we prevail in this appeal we would be granted access to the families’ names and addresses—which would allow us to give all the WTC family members the opportunity to have a voice, and a choice in the final resting place of their loved ones.

*************************************************************************************

The plans for the National September 11 Memorial and Museum call for the unidentified human remains of those who were killed at Ground Zero to be incorporated as a “programmatic element” of the Museum, and to be located in the Museum, some 70 feet below ground. The families of those who were killed were neither meaningfully notified nor consulted about this plan, and many have objected to it.

These family members believe the remains should be returned to the World Trade Center (“WTC”) site, but in a location that is separate and distinct from the Museum and above ground, akin to the Tomb of the Unknowns. For the approximately 1,100 families that did not receive any recovery of their loved ones’ remains, the repository of human remains in the Museum may be the closest thing they will have to a cemetery. These and other families of WTC victims will only be able to visit the remains during the hours the Museum is open or if they have made an appointment. The families believe they should be able to visit the remains spontaneously, at any hour of the day or evening. Moreover, the families do not want to have to enter a museum in order to visit the remains. As one of the objecting family members stated, “None of us, whether we’ve received recovery or not, should have to walk past thousands of tourists and the 9/11 Museum store on the 1st floor, selling its WTC cups, shirts, and books on our way to pray over our loved ones’ remains.”

Seventeen 9/11 family members who objected to the City’s plan filed a Freedom of Information (“FOIL”) lawsuit in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York (“trial court’) against the City of New York, Office of the Mayor, and Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. The goal of the lawsuit is to direct the City to release the list of the 2,749 family members whose loved ones died on 9/11/01 for the sole purpose of meaningfully notifying them and seeking their input regarding the City’s current plan to place the unidentified human remains in the Museum.

The issue before the trial court was whether disclosure of the names and addresses of the WTC victims’ family members falls within the FOIL’s privacy exemption. The seventeen family members argued that New York courts have held that the disclosure of names and addresses is not an invasion of personal privacy and have ordered such disclosure under FOIL.

 

FBI Had Al-Awlaki, Imam to the 911 Muslim Terrorists, in 2002 but released him

So now we know that this institutionalized dhimmitude and capitulation to the sharia (respect it!) goes way back. Further back than even September 11th. Because there is no way that the imam to the 911 jihadists who had orchestrated the largest and bloodiest act of war on American soil would have been released from FBI custody in 2002 if government agencies (like the FBI and DoJ and DoS) had not been infiltrated by Muslim Brotherhood operatives instituting their agenda-driven policies of "multi-culti" propaganda, mythical Muslim victimhood intimidation, and the biggest hoax of all, islamophobia.

Think of it. The blood of 3,000 Americans was still fresh, the air in New York City still rancid with the stench of molten steel, plastic, flesh and blood, all of our dead were not recovered and buried, and the FBI released the spiritual guide to the devout Muslims whose goal was to destroy and conquer the United States of America in the cause of Islam.

It was at that moment that we lost the war, and we continue to raise the flag of defeat and dhimmitude. Anwar Awlaki was a general; think Erwin Rommel or Hajime Sugiyama. Would they have been released by the FBI in 1942?

Worse still, that this is not frontpage news in every newspaper in America and cable/network news broadcast further proves that the enemy narrative is firmly embedded in the dissemination of news and information. America suffers under a sharia-compliant media, the horrible consequences of which we have not yet fully borne.

"FBI admits they had radical American-born terrorist al-Awlaki in custody in 2002... but let him go," Daily Mail, August 2, 2012 (thanks to David):

The FBI has publicly admitted that they had radical Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki in custody when he returned to America in 2002 but let him go.

An American-born al Qaeda cleric, second only to Osama bin Laden on the world's most-wanted list, al-Awlaki was eventually killed in Yemen last September during a US drone strike.

Despite being named a major threat by the head of Britain’s Secret Intelligence Service and the first American to become one of the CIA’s top targets, the FBI released him from custody after detaining him at JFK Airport in October 2002.

al-Awlaki, who had lived in London and thought to be behind several al Qaeda terrorist plots, had become the public face of the Islamic terrorist organisation in the wake of bin Laden's death.

Former FBI agents said there are two possible explanations for al-Awlaki’s abrupt release in 2002. That the FBI wanted to track him for intelligence or that the bureau wanted to work with him as a contact.

The ‘global terrorist’ was detained at JFK Airport in New York City after the customs database identified an outstanding arrest warrant.

Mark Giuliano, the FBI’s assistant director for national security told an enquiry yesterday that there had been conversations between an FBI agent and the US attorney in Colorado about al-Awlaki’s re-entry into the country and the warrant.

He said: ‘Yes, sir, there was a dialogue, as there always will be.

‘If a case agent has a case on somebody that is coming into the country, the system is triggered and set up so that there will be a call to that case agent.’

But Mr Giulano could not explain how the FBI knew of the terrorist’s return to America nor the reasons why he was allowed to walk free from custody.

At a hearing yesterday into the Webster report into the bureau’s intelligence failures leading up to the Fort Hood massacre, in which Major Nidal Hasan was accused of killing 13 people and wounding 32 in Texas, links were made between Hasan and Al-Awlaki.

In an exchange of 19 emails Hasan told al-Awlaki that he advocated using suicide bombers and that he believed it was OK to kill civilians to which al-Awlaki replied that Hasan should keep his contact details handy.

Republican Rep Frank Wolf, chairman of the committee that oversees the FBI said at a hearing: ‘I really want to get to the bottom (of this)’ according to Fox News.

‘We’re going to send a letter on this. If we can, we’re going to get a hearing, and if we have to, we may even subpoena the thing.’

al-Awlaki was being held when FBI agent Wade Ammerman told customs agents that ‘the warrant…had been pulled back’ but documents show that the warrant was still active at that time and was only relinquished later that day.

The bureau has always maintained that the case against al-Awlaki was weak and the pulling back of his arrest warrant was coincidental with the day he returned to America.

Why he was able to walk free when scores of Muslim men were held in detention centres on material witness warrants in the wake of September 11 attacks has never been explained by the FBI.

The terrorist has also been linked to September 11 hijackers, and was widely believed to be the mastermind behind a number of terror atrocities, the leader of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and inspired attacks by Muslims inside the United States including the Fort Hood massacre.

Mr Giuliano said: ‘If a prosecutor at that time, regardless of whether a call was made or not, looks at the evidence and decided there was not enough to be able to arrest that individual, the warrant would be dropped.

‘I assure you ... if we could have incarcerated al-Awlaki, we would have.’

But past and present investigators have said that once a warrant is signed off by a federal judge, it is not routine to review it.

They have also questioned why an exemption was made for a person who under an FBI investigation because of his links to September 11 hijackers....

Judge delays 911 GITMO hearing in deference to Islamic holy day

The five jihadists plotted and killed thousands in the name of Islam on September 11, 2001, in the largest and bloodiest attack on American soil in our nation's history, and we are setting aside American jurisprudence out of "respect" and submission to that very ideology? Ramadan is exactly when these jihadist savages should be put on trial and sentenced to death.

No matter how many times I read and repeat that, it never fails to astound and shake me. Anywhere American law and Islamic law conflict, American law has to give way. Is that not the defination of surrender to the conquering ideology? 3,000 Americans are weeping in their graves.

"Judge delays Guantanamo hearing in Sept. 11 case to avoid Ramadan conflict" Newser July 15, 2012 (thanks to David)

Muslim holy period delays Sept. 11 case at Gitmo

A U.S. military judge agreed Monday to postpone the next court hearings at the Guantanamo Bay prison for five men charged in the Sept. 11 attacks to avoid a conflict with the Muslim holy period of Ramadan.

The judge issued a short order postponing the next pretrial hearings at the U.S. base in Cuba until Aug. 22-26 at the request of all five defendants, said James Connell, a lawyer for one of the accused.

The hearings had been scheduled to run from Aug. 8-12, which fall during the last 10 days of Ramadan, a period in which devout Muslims fast during the day and pray during the night. That would make it difficult for the accused to participate in their defense, said Connell, a lawyer for Ali Abd al-Aziz Ali.

"It's very difficult to pay attention to sometimes intricate legal proceedings when you haven't had any sleep and you haven't had any food," Connell said.

They eat like horses in the morning and after sundown. Gimme a break.
