Ten Years After 9/11: What We Know and Where Do We Go?

Up until THAT DAY we call 9/11, I was a typical self-satisfied, self-centered, uninformed, misinformed comfortably numb American Christian.

(CLERMONT, Fla.) - Middle East correspondent of The Independent, Robert Fisk recently wrote:

“By their books, ye shall know them…In the years since, of course, we've been deluged with a rich literature of post-9/11 trauma, from the eloquent The Looming Tower of Lawrence Wright to the Scholars for 9/11 Truth, whose supporters have told us that the plane wreckage outside the Pentagon was dropped by a C-130...

Management continues a reign of terror and repression at the Classic factory.

(PITTSBURGH, Pa.) - This AP article has already been picked up by the Washington Post, National Public Radio, Forbes and the CanadianBusiness.com.

Sanal Kumar, the reportedly corrupt owner of the Classic sweatshop--where scores of young women guest workers from Sri Lanka and Bangladesh have been raped by factory managers-blames U.S. unions and the state of Israel for his factories' problems!

An American-Palestinian Reflection on 9/11

Ten years after September 11, 2001, we still have the choice of continuing the same policies that lead to war and conflict or to insist on human rights and hold violators accountable.

(WEST KINGSTON R.I.) - Dr. Mazin Qumsiyeh, an American Palestinian, spent several years teaching genetics at Yale University. Today he teaches and does research at Bethlehem and Birzeit Universities in occupied Palestine.

But he is at least as much involved in the struggle for Palestinian rights. Israelis have arrested him on several occasions for participating in peaceful protests.

The Day The Bush War on Terror Began

One glaring reason why the Bush-Cheney war machine could shape public opinion with such impunity in 2001 is that the main stream media had abandoned its journalistic responsibility to talk truth to power.

(CHICAGO) - President George Bush’s War on Terror began ten years ago, September 11, 2001.

Murderous crime scenes in New York, Washington, and Pennsylvania, became spiritual staging grounds for an international war against what Time’s Tony Karon describes as “a tiny network of transnational extremists, founded on the remnants of the Arab volunteers who’d fought in the U.S.-backed Afghan jihad against the Soviet Union.”

Dare I say its name?

The Anti-Defamation League condemns as "antisemitic" any writings about “Jewish Supremacism” and labels any person who utters the words as “anti-Semite”.

(LONDON) - The term White Supremacism defines the likes of KKK, of racists, neo-nazis etc, and projects a notion of wickedness and evil .

Wherever suitable, the term is used freely and without hesitation, generally by the Left, including the anti-Zionist Jewish Left. No one thinks twice before accurately using the term to portray anyone who claims that so called "White" people are superior to "people of colour".

Oakland Museum of Children`s Art Shuts Down Palestinian Children`s Exhibit

(BERKELEY, Calif.) - The Museum of Children’s Art in Oakland (MOCHA) has decided to cancel an exhibit of art by Palestinian children in the Gaza Strip.

The Middle East Children’s Alliance, which was partnering with MOCHA to present the exhibit, was informed of the decision by the Museum’s board president on Thursday, September 8, 2011.

`Spinning the Egyptian Anti-Israel Protest`

NY Times ignores Israeli killing of Egyptians.

(SACRAMENTO antiwar.com) - Today's New York Times front-page story on Egyptian protests against the Israeli embassy largely neglects a primary cause of the anger: Israeli forces'.

Egyptian outrage over these deaths grew even greater when Israel's defense minister Ehud Barak refused to apologize.

Get `er done!

This story has been told in greater detail by Rebecca Liss in her article titled “An Unlikely Hero” and published September 10, 2002. It was recently reprinted by MSN/Slate.

(HARRISVILLE, N.H.) - The three words that make-up the title of today’s piece typify the attitude that caused more than one Commander-in-Chief to issue the order to “Send in the Marines”! Those words also define the attitude of a Marine who has been described as “Crazy Brave” for his actions at Ground Zero on September 11, 2001.

Baja California News- Prisoners of the Grid

US authorities are reportedly investigating the precise reason for the problem at the San Diego Gas and Electric company substation that set-off the cross-border energy crisis.

(LAS CRUCES, N.M.) - The September 8 blackout provoked by a failure at a private utility company substation in Yuma, Arizona, rolled across the border and affected more than 1.3 million people in northern Mexico, according to press accounts.

For more than ten hours, chaotic scenes unfolded in the states of Baja California and part of neighboring Sonora. Workplaces ground to a halt, classes were canceled, traffic lights stopped functioning and water service was interrupted.

Egyptians Break Down Wall Around the Israeli Embassy

“A security wall erected around the Israeli embassy, a strong reminder of the West Bank barrier, was totally unacceptable in Cairo.”

(ALEXANDRIA, Egypt) - Last week, in the wake of public anger over the killing of five Egyptian police officers and soldiers at the borders with Israel who were reported caught up in the crossfire while the Israeli forces were hunting down a group of infiltrators who carried out the Eilat ambush, Cairo witnessed yet another week of popular rage.

The ensuing Egyptian anger targeted the Israeli embassy as thousands of protesters rallied around the embassy for almost a week calling for the expulsion of the ambassador and the whole diplomatic mission.
