#9-11-attacks — Public Fediverse posts

Dieses Wochenende steht ein Besuch in #Oelsnitz im Vogtland an. Ich möchte gerne die Ausstellung im Museum vom Schloß Voigtsberg besuchen. Zu sehen gibt es Kriegsteppiche aus #Afghanistan.

Da ich mir aus Kabul auch so einen geknüpften Widerstand mitgebracht habe, möchte ich gerne erfahren, was es noch für Motive und Geschichten zu sehen gibt.

Donald Trump suggests he 'could have stopped 9/11', but no one listened to his warnings

Today, Sep 14th, is the 24th anniversary of one of the more remarkable events to take place in the days following the September 11th terrorist attacks. I like to refer to it as Barbara Lee Day. A reminder of one of the most remarkable and courageous votes in recent US political history.

"The 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force" bill was passed by House and Senate a mere three days after September 11th. Of the 519 total votes cast, only Representative Lee's lone vote opposed the bill (Senate 98-0, House 420-1). A vote for which she received much negative attention in the media and also received death threats over. This is an important piece of United States history. One which calls out to us today, nearly a quarter of a century later, and forces us to take a hard look at all that has taken place in the world since September 11th and begs the question of what can we, as average citizens, do to move our country away from being a military state, and towards a focus on diplomacy and peace.

Please take a moment today to read Representative Lee's speech on the House floor or watch the video ( https://youtu.be/mvnLtMKzX6Y ) of her delivering the speech.

'Mr. Speaker, Members, I rise today really with a very heavy heart, one that is filled with sorrow for the families and the loved ones who were killed and injured this week. Only the most foolish and the most callous would not understand the grief that has really gripped our people and millions across the world. This unspeakable act on the United States has really -- really forced me, however, to rely on my moral compass, my conscience, and my God for direction.

September 11th changed the world. Our deepest fears now haunt us. Yet, I am convinced that military action will not prevent further acts of international terrorism against the United States. This is a very complex and complicated matter.

Now this resolution will pass, although we all know that the President can wage a war even without it. However difficult this vote may be, some of us must urge the use of restraint. Our country is in a state of mourning. Some of us must say, let's step back for a moment. Let's just pause, just for a minute and think through the implications of our actions today, so that this does not spiral out of control.

Now I have agonized over this vote. But I came to grips with it today, and I came to grips with opposing this resolution during the very painful, yet very beautiful memorial service. As a member of the clergy so eloquently said, "As we act, let us not become the evil that we deplore."'

- Representative Barabara Lee, September 14th, 2001

@burnoutqueen @Theblueone Zero empathy, he can't even fake it.

"40 Wall Street actually was the second-tallest building in downtown Manhattan, and it was actually, before the World Trade Center, was the tallest — and then, when they built the World Trade Center, it became known as the second tallest. And now it’s the tallest," Trump in a radio interview the afternoon of 9 Sep 2001 when everyone knows there must be thousands of victims in the rubble of the World Trade Center.

He's a piece of shit.

Faculty, staff and students from the University of Houston, along with military personnel, gathered Thursday morning for a remembrance of the terrorist attacks against the United States on Sept. 11, 2001.

Never forget: the elites who’ve been trying to break #encryption and amplify mass #surveillance are responsible for letting KNOWN terrorists into the United States. The elites only gained MORE power after their major fuckup: #September11Attacks #911Attacks

Don’t stop talking about how the #CIA let al-Mihdhar and al-Hazmi enter our country and hijack a plane.

Interestingly, the legal case against #saudiarabia for facilitating the #911attacks relies upon a lawsuit from the 1980s in which the wife of a burglar was successfully sued for enabling her husband's criminal lifestyle after he shot and killed a doctor, Michael J. Halberstam in Washington, D.C. (see Halberstam v. Welch (1983) and the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (2016)) https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/F2/705/472/250679/

Here we have a post sharing two random things on this quiet Sunday evening that have nothing to do with anything anyone other than I would ever care about.

First, I watched an episode of The Trogly’s Guitar Show on YouTube today and accidentally learned something about my first Gibson guitar. It was a Les Paul Deluxe but I never learned what year it was made. Deluxes date from the late 60’s to the mid 80’s (I think). I bought mine in 1987 and always assumed it was from the late 70’s, but I had not learned how to get the manufacture date for a Gibson guitar until after my Deluxe was stolen in 1990.

Thanks to Trogly’s I can narrow the date down a little. The guitar had a Gibson chainsaw case. From a description on the episode I watched it was a version two chainsaw case. Trogly told us that Gibson introduced the version two chainsaw case in 1978. Therefore my guitar (assuming the case I had was the original case) could not have been built prior to 1978. That nocks about 10 years off of the possible dates. Thanks, Trogly!

The second item of note: The anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks is coming this week. That means Jen and I are in now entering our annual 9/11 remembrance period where we binge a shit load of documentaries. We’re watching the first of the season right now. Things have already been super heavy around here due to my father’s passing. Now it’s going to get heavier still.

I just felt the need to share all of that with the wider universe. You’re welcome.

In the Air Tonight - #PhilCollins (January 1981).

This seemingly harmless #song by Phil Collins has been #banned on 2 separate occasions. The first time was in 1991, after #BBC forbid 67 songs from airplay due to their perceived connection to the war occurring in the #PersianGulf. The second time was in 2001, when #ClearChannelCommunications #prohibited 162 songs from the airwaves after the #911Attacks.

For months after the #911attacks, #responders and #survivors breathed in air filled with small pieces of the #WorldTradeCenter towers. That dust is now part of the health effects of 9/11 exhibit at the CDC Museum in #Atlanta. https://www.npr.org/2023/09/11/1198805437/health-problems-have-followed-many-9-11-survivors-cdc-shows-in-new-museum-exhibi?emci=ba7bb7c4-dd51-ee11-9937-00224832e811&emdi=a87631b1-3652-ee11-9937-00224832e811&ceid=16395312

Dr David Ray Griffin has passed away.

It's tragic that he did not live to see a proper investigation of 911.

Perhaps none of us will.

But he definitely deserved to.

Olbermann: "Three weeks ago - so quietly it has barely been noticed - the government declassified the 31-page "memorandum for the record" of the 9/11 Commission's 2004 interview with President George W. Bush (2:20) In it, Bush's words are beyond damning - they are confessional. They confirm his dereliction of duty, his culpability, his malfeasance, in the months before 9/11." https://omny.fm/shows/countdown-with-keith-olbermann/george-bush-covered-his-ass-lied-to-9-11-commissio #KeithOlbermann #911Commission #GeorgeBush #GeorgeWBush #DickCheney #911attacks
