Malik Ali claims Jews control the world's media, planned 9/11, and orchestrated the Danish Mohammed Cartoons. In fact, he says, all the evils of the world can be blamed on the "Zionist Jews" that control the White House, Congress, the CIA, Supreme Court and more. Yes, this is real live demagogue and supporter of terrorists, coming to speak at Long Beach State once again sponsored by the Muslim Student Association. He openly voices support for suicide bombing, Hamas, Iran, Hezbollah, and world-wide anti-Western Jihad. We cannot stand by and let these lies, libel, hate, and intollerance go unchalleneged.

ABC 9/11 Docudrama's Right-Wing Roots Max Blumenthal Mon Sep 11, 6:28 PM ET The Nation -- On Friday, September 8, just forty-eight hours before ABC planned to air its so-called "docudrama," The Path to 9/11, Robert Iger, CEO of ABC's corporate parent, the Walt Disney Company, was presented with incontrovertible evidence outlining the involvement of that film's screenwriter and director in a concerted right-wing effort to blame former President Bill Clinton for allowing the 9/11 attacks to take place. Iger told a source close to ABC that he was "deeply troubled" by the information and claimed he had no previous...

Over the years, historians and dramatists will produce many, many versions of "The Path to 9/11." If Bill Clinton wishes in the future to complain about historical inaccuracies, I suggest he first answer one question: What handwritten notes, and by whom, were on the three copies of classified documents (out of five) that Sandy Berger chose to steal and cut up with scissors in 2003, smack in the middle of the 9/11 commission's investigation? When we know the answer to that question, Bill, then and only then will you be entitled to complain about historical inaccuracies in the record.

SEBRING, Ohio, Sept. 12, 2006 – Under a “no rain” proclamation issued earlier in the week by the town’s mayor, Colton Lockner, age 9, led nearly 2,000 people in Sebring, Ohio’s first Freedom Walk yesterday. Mother Nature took heed and altered her rainy forecast so participants could walk from the town’s elementary school to the Sebring Veterans Memorial. Lockner, the walk’s organizer, served as master of ceremonies during the short program at the walk’s culmination to remember the victims of the Sept. 11 attacks and honor the nation’s servicemembers. “We are not on the Mall in Washington or on Times...

SAN ANTONIO, Sept. 12, 2006 – Despite a downpour and half-flooded streets, about 1,200 people braved the rain yesterday to participate in San Antonio’s first Freedom Walk, a 2-mile tribute to the 3,000 victims of Sept. 11, 2001. The walk, sponsored by Operation Homefront and USAA, was one of more than 130 that took place throughout the nation as a remembrance of Sept. 11 and a tribute to veterans and servicemembers still serving today. The trek through the soaked, yet still scenic, downtown area offered participants an opportunity to reflect on past tragedies, as well as a few more recent...

He mentioned that an FBI agent slipped the idea that other box cutters were found, but that since the planes were grounded, they were not hijacked. He also mentioned that six weeks prior to 9/11, he identified four men on his flight from Boston and told the flight stewardess. Turns out two were actual 9/11 hijackers, but the report was dismissed as racial profiling.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11, 2006 – Tears flowed freely under the gray sky as family members of those killed in the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, gathered outside the Pentagon today to honor the memory of their loved ones. “Five years ago, Sept. 11 forever ceased to be an ordinary date on the calendar,” Vice President Richard B. Cheney said at the Pentagon memorial observance for family members. “So we gather once again to recall events that still have the power to move us and always will. And we honor the men, women and children whose lives were taken so...

I just found this very touching video and thought I'd pass it along. The singer/song writer, Kristi Nelson, has a beautiful voice. Click on : Watch Mama Will Hold Me video at the link above (I couldn't get it to work in cable mode but it worked in 56k mode) It's been a tough day. Never Forget.

President Bush has dramatically enlarged the issue of terrorism in the 2006 midterm elections by revealing the names, faces and confessed plots of the Islamic radicals held by the CIA. In a sweeping, lay-it-all-out White House address that elevated the issue of the deadly dangers Americans still face from terrorism, Bush confirmed the existence of foreign-based CIA prisons where terrorists have been secretly interrogated by intelligence agents and even disclosed some of the plots they planned to execute against the United States and our allies. Last week's speech, part of a series of speeches to remind Americans of the increasing...

Via the ABC News blog “Political Punch” comes this message from Michael Scheuer on The Path to 9/11 controversy. “This morning we received an email from Michael Scheuer, former chief of the Osama bin Laden Unit at the CIA’s Counterterrorist Center (and the previously “Anonymous” author of “Imperial Hubris”) who is clearly no fan of either the Bush nor the Clinton Administrations — nor the 9/11 Commission. He writes the following: “This whole business over ABC’s movie is amazing. Now Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. and a pack of political whores who pass themselves off as ‘historians’ have come out four-square for...

Under growing pressure from Democrats and aides to former President Bill Clinton, ABC is re-evaluating and in some cases re-editing crucial scenes in its new mini-series “The Path to 9/11” to soften its portrait of the Clinton administration’s pursuit of Osama bin Laden, according to people involved in the project. Among the changes, ABC is altering one scene in which an actor playing Samuel R. Berger, the former national security adviser, abruptly hangs up on a C.I.A. officer during a critical moment in a military operation, according to Thomas H. Kean, a consultant on the ABC project and co-chairman of...

Senate Democratic leadership threatens Disney with legal and legislative sanctionsby John in DC - 9/07/2006 06:02:00 PM This letter was sent today by the entire Democratic leadership of the US Senate. This letter is such a major shot across the bow of Disney, it's not even funny. It is FILLED with veiled threats, both legal and legislative, against Disney. US Senators don't make threats like this, especially the entire Democratic leadership en masse, unless they mean it. Disney is in serious trouble. Read it, then read my analysis of it below:September 7, 2006 Mr. Robert A. Iger President and...

I’m hearing all kinds of disturbing, though predictable, stories about a Clintonista offensive against “The Path to 9/11,” an ABC documentary written and produced by Cyrus Nowrasteh ("Into the West"), and directed by David Cunningham ("To End All Wars").  I haven’t seen it yet (although I hope to this weekend), but it is already drawing rave reviews from people who have (the piece is reviewed at FrontPage, here).   Apparently, the documentary recounts the bureaucratic bungling and lack of action against al Qaeda that was pervasive prior to the September 11 atrocities.  It is by no means, I understand, pro-Bush.  It...

The second trial of Iraqi former president Saddam Hussein was adjourned on Wednesday for three weeks until Sept. 11, the Iraqi High Tribunal said. The deposed president and his six codefendants were back in dock on Wednesday for their alleged involvement in the anti- Kurdish Anfal campaign that slaughtered tens of thousand of Kurds. Four Kurdish witnesses, three women and one man, testifies before a panel of judges on third session, accusing Saddam and his top commanders of ordering chemical attacks on their villages. The witness, 45-year-old Adiba Owla Bayez, told the court one of her daughters died due to...

The first Freedom Walk, inaugurated Sept. 11, 2005, in Washington, D.C., attracted more than 15,000 participants, including family members who lost loved ones in the attacks.

Excerpt - The airline terror plot to blow up at least seven transatlantic jets was intended to mark the fifth anniversary of September 11, intelligence sources have revealed. But it was not executed because its alleged conspirators were too 'inexperienced' to carry it out. The claims, by senior Pakistani security officials, came as Scotland Yard requested more time to question 23 of the 24 suspects arrested since last week. The officials also alleged that many of those held learnt how to handle weapons and bomb-making training by reading textbooks. A highly placed source said: 'Look at their ages ... their...
