Dubya failed to take warnings of terrorist attacks seriously in 2001

Catherine Salgado addressed the news of George W. Bush not taking the threat of 911 seriously prior to the tragedy:

Don't forget that jihadis who would become 9/11 hijackers were approved to enter our country, and even trained at U.S. flight schools. You'd think a bunch of Arabs interested only in controlling planes in flight and not in landings would set off alarm bells. But that would have required American politicians from both political parties and flight instructors to overcome their delusion of a century or more that Islam is a religion of peace, and that flagging suspicious behavior from Muslims is racist. Was that why the memo below didn't result in a contingency plan for if a hijack attack occurred? Something obviously got dropped, because in September 2001, when the hijackings did occur, there was no U.S. military response that went into prompt action.

BREAKING: George W. Bush was personally warned in May of 2001–via a top secret memorandum marked “For the President Only”—that Osama Bin Laden was planning spectacular attacks against the U.S. using hijacked aircraft.

Westerners keep forgetting that Muslims pass down their goals of conquest from generation to generation and from country to country. We are not fighting isolated terrorist groups or radicalized individuals. We are fighting a global religious and political cult. Read more here: Ex-Muslim Warns Islam’s Threat Is Much More Than Terrorism. That is precisely the point that Bush ignored after 9/11, and that has caused Americans so much trial and trouble since then.

Also note the info on X telling that Bill Clinton ignored warnings of al Qaeda threats, and that too tells something. Since that time, there have been people who've come to depise Dubya for his failings, based on what he said at least 5 years ago. No doubt, there are plenty of 911 Families members who're outraged at him too, with reason.

Interestingly, at this year's 9-11 Memorial, former secretary of state Condoleeza Rice, who also caused damage to Israel based on how she carried out Dubya's demand for Israel to exit Gaza, had the following to say:

Condoleezza Rice, who served as White House national security adviser at the time of the attacks, provided another unusual moment by accepting a measure of responsibility for the failure to prevent them. Rice said she continued to feel profound pain that "those of us in authority on that day did not see the nature of the danger in time to prevent the attack of 9/11."

"We did what we knew how to do, but it was not enough," she said. Rice added: "I will always carry deep personal remorse for the pain that you, the families of the fallen, still feel, and for the trauma that our country endured."

Forget it, if she hasn't apologized for hers and Dubya's role in what led to October 7, 2023, then her alleged "take of responsibility" for September 11, 2001 remains unconvincing. There've been so many failures to be vigilant over the years on serious issues like these, and some would-be conservatives certainly have a lot of explaining to do.

Virginia school district forbids any connection of Islam to 911

Proving the left's still a serious problem in USA schools, Virginia's system is desecrating the victims of 911 by forbidding any connection in descriptions of the attacks to the Religion of Peace:

An affluent Virginia school district located just miles from where Islamic terrorists crashed a plane into the Pentagon issued guidance for its teachers to not “associate” the devastating 9/11 attacks “with Islam or Muslims.”

Guidance from Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia told its teachers to be prepared to combat “anti-Muslim bias” in the classroom and to not connect the attacks with any religious motivation. The guidance, obtained by FOX News, was issued ahead of the 25th anniversary of the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people.

Fairfax County is located outside Washington, D.C., and just miles away from where the 9/11 terrorists crashed a plane into the Pentagon, killing over 180 people. [...]

Evidence shows that the 19 terrorists behind the attacks were motivated by their adherence to Islam. Writings found from one of the hijackers show him praying for “guidance” and “help” and demonstrate that he believed he would be “entering paradise” after dying in the attacks. Another document found from the hijackers discussed the history of Islam and Muhammad waging war against non-Muslims. [...]

Reacting to the guidance, Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) said it should be “ripped up.”

“On the 25th anniversary, Democrats are trying to downplay the EVIL of 9/11. ISLAMIC TERRORISTS MURDERED 2,977 AMERICANS,” he posted on X. “That shouldn’t be controversial. It’s a damn fact. This ‘guide’ should be ripped up and thrown in the garbage, along with every other socialist rewrite of history.”

While Virginia officials cater to Islamic sensibilities, Texas recently moved to approve new curriculum standards that teach about the religious motivations behind 9/11 and the violent history surrounding Islam’s rise. The teaching would include the “Prophet Mohammed’s brutal military campaigns against Jewish and Christian tribes, the normalization of slavery, and the taking of female captives as harem slaves.”

Virginia is clearly one of the worst places to get an education today, much like New York. 911 Families should comment on serious concerns like this.

Update: here's more from a survivor of 911, who warns of the lessons now being forgotten:

A quarter-century later, it’s still a political flashpoint. “You’re dealing with radical Islam,” John says, citing the Council on American-Islamic Relations’ recent direction for schools not to “talk about 9/11 as a terrorist attack.” John describes a reporter who asked him, “If you were to face a group of kids, would you tell them it was a terrorist attack?” He’s shocked this is even up for debate. “It’s crazy that we were talking about something like that.”

Correct. That CAIR played a part in the school scandal is also disturbing.

If Piker's not sorry for what he says about Israel, then he's not sorry for what he said about the USA either

Hasan Piker's one of the most repulsive influencers in the Democrat party now, and what's told here should make clear nothing he says should be taken at face value:

Hasan Piker, a 35-year-old American streamer who broadcasts on Twitch to millions of followers, is one of the rising voices in Democratic politics. He describes himself as a Marxist, has said America "deserved 9/11," called for Zionists to be treated like neo-Nazis and declared that he would choose Hamas over Israel "every single time."

In recent months, he has moved from the screen to the campaign trail, becoming a prominent figure in Abdul El-Sayed's campaign. El-Sayed won Michigan's Democratic US Senate primary last week and could become the first Muslim elected to the US Senate. [...]

Despite his Marxist politics, the business he runs is thoroughly capitalist. According to Rolling Stone, nearly 50,000 subscribers pay $6 a month for his channel. After Twitch takes its 30% cut, that translates into more than $2 million in annual revenue.

Then he's obviously as much a grifter as he is an enemy of the USA and Israel. And no doubt, he harbors the same sentiments towards Europe (which has its own share of self-haters too).

The remark most closely associated with Piker came in August 2019, during a livestream in which he watched Republican Rep. Dan Crenshaw being interviewed by Joe Rogan. Piker mocked Crenshaw, a former Navy SEAL who lost his right eye to an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan, and referred to the fighter who wounded him as a "brave soldier."

"America deserved 9/11, dude," Piker said during the same broadcast. "Fuck it, I'm saying it. We totally brought it upon ourselves." Only after two days of criticism did he walk the comment back in an interview with his uncle, Cenk Uygur, calling the remark "inappropriate" and describing it as a failed attempt at satire.

Blatant anti-Israel rhetoric

When it comes to Israel, however, Piker has not backed down. In January, he wrote on X that "Hamas is a thousand times better than a fascist settler-colonial apartheid state." When confronted with the statement in April on Pod Save America, one of the most influential podcasts in Democratic politics, he refused to soften it. "I stand by that," he said.

In that case, he's not sorry for what he said about the USA either. Some of these monsters pretend certain things if they think it'll cause people to lose interest in them, but it's not so simple, and men like Piker can always continue causing damage behind the scenes. And they can always boomerang back on their previous obscenities, along with concocting more horrific ones.

Here's some more about the podcasts Piker's been speaking on lately, and he's continued to make offensive statements, and now tries to make it sound like he's "walking back" what he said earlier, even though his excuses are very weak:

Anti-American streamer Hasan Piker said he “should have phrased things better” discussing his viral comments that America deserved 9/11 on Mehdi Hasan’s podcast two weeks ago.

The Hill reported on the podcast appearance, where Piker said he “could’ve phrased the statement ‘America deserved 9/11’ in a better way but held firm to his frequent use of “pejoratives” in describing racial groups.

One more clue why this is a most truly disgusting man who has no business being in politics any more than el-Sayed. Tragically, it's sadly possible that the latter will be elected to the Senate, and that's going to be very awful if it happens. And "satire"? That's one of the most repellent "defenses" possible to make. It's utterly sick. Piker shouldn't be allowed near the 911 Memorial any more than Zohran Mamdani.

Never Forget

Even as we reel from the assassination of Charlie Kirk, let us remember the date that changed our lives. Twenty-four years have passed, but it isn't over.

Many who lived through 911 have since suffered terrible illnesses

As many as 23 years after September 11, 2001, when the jihadist organization al Qaeda destroyed the World Trade Center and murdered nearly 3000 people, there's first responders and civilians from the time who're now suffering illnesses contracted over 2 decades ago during the tragedy:

More than 45,000 people are living with the physical manifestations of the September 11 attacks more than two decades after the tragedy.

At least 45,200 civilians and officers from the FDNY, NYPD and Port Authority of New York and New Jersey are suffering from at least one cancer or disease that has been directly linked to the largest terrorist attack in history.

The whopping total is 1,408% greater than the death toll for the tragedy itself: 2,997 victims were killed in the Twin Tower collapse and aftermath.

The shocking number reflects the amount of victims enrolled in the World Trade Center Health Program with verified illnesses — but because the project only recognizes some cancers and diseases, officials warn the true total of sick survivors is much higher.

Read more. Something tells me even Kamala Harris isn't going to do anything to help those who've survived get the medical attention they need. Harris - as anybody who's a realist and watched the debate between her and Donald Trump may have seen - spent a lot of her time telling lies and falsehoods, and clearly is not qualified to be a president. Why, who knows what more disasters could occur if she does become president?

Here's some more info on the history of the 9-11 tragedy:

The whole world experienced the attacks of September 11, 2001, in real time. Videos, photos, and audio captured the horror inflicted by Islamic terrorists and the heroism displayed by ordinary Americans forced onto the frontlines of a sudden new war.

In 2021, to mark the twentieth anniversary of 9/11 and to ensure that future generations never forget, Breitbart News assembled the following visual chronicle of the day that changed the world forever and the two decades of war that followed it.

It's very vital not to forget who the monsters were who committed the horrific offense.

Schools in Virginia allow opt-out from Holocaust lessons

The school board of Fairfax County, Virginia, is doing something terrible they won't do with LGBT ideology:

Virginia’s largest school district will let students skip a presentation from a Holocaust survivor, saying the diverse district includes students with “different experiences.”

“We understand that all students have different experiences. If you prefer to opt your child out from participating in this presentation, please email your child’s history teacher and they will be provided an alternate assignment. Please email your child’s history teacher with any questions that you may have,” a letter from Cooper Middle School said.

The letter referred to a scheduled presentation from a Holocaust survivor to seventh-graders, according to Adele Scalia, a mother of one of those middle schoolers.

[...] Scalia said on social media that she is drawing “less charitable (but more likely) conclusions.” The Left has been pressured by Islamic extremists to demonize Israel following Hamas’ terrorist attacks on the Jewish nation on October 7, and liberals have used the same language of “colonization” and “oppression” that they apply to whites in the U.S. to Israelis.

“If the email had said ‘We understand that some students are very sensitive and Mrs. X’s stories my be disturbing and traumatizing to them…’ I would have given them the benefit of the doubt. But it didn’t,” Scalia wrote.

Fairfax County contains a hotbed of Muslim extremism. A mosque there, attended by several 9/11 hijackers as well as the Fort Hood terrorist, was presided over by the father of Abrar Omeish, who until this year was a member of the Fairfax County school board. Omeish voted against an FCPS resolution offering a moment of silence for victims of 9/11 and another for victims of October’s Hamas attacks on Israel, said the decisive World War II victor at Iwo Jima was “unfortunate,” and gave a graduation speech encouraging students to “remember your jihad” and reject capitalism.

This definitely says quite a bit, right down to how the manager of a mosque is allowed on the school board, and even desecrated the memory of 9-11 victims. This also makes clear the sad path the USA is regrettably headed on if something isn't done to put a stop to this indoctrination.

The opt-out of the Holocaust lesson in FCPS, whose school board is entirely Democrat, is a reversal from the Left’s position on opt-outs on topics like transgenderism and anti-racism, which typically holds that hard truths are often uncomfortable, that it is the role of a school to instill certain values, and that on some issues, there are not two sides, but only good and evil.

[...] With some people claiming that the Holocaust did not even occur, the lesson is one of the last chances to hear from someone who survived it first-hand, as survivors are perishing of old age.

Prior to the election of Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin, a video promoted by Virginia’s state Department of Education, then presided over by Democrat Atif Qarni, sought to dampen the emotional resonance of 9/11, advising teachers not to call it “terrorism” and to focus on “anti-Muslim racism” while making sure not “to reproduce what’s understood as American exceptionalism.”

This is the most terrible part about Virgina, how, Youngkin's election notwithstanding, there remains a considerable amount of far-left influence, and now it's resulted in a truly awful situation. It's clear Virginia has a serious problem with misogyny, anti-Semitism, and the Religion of Peace is really going to make things awful soon enough. Maybe most grating about the whole matter is that, if LGBT ideology is cleared away from schools in Fairfax, it'll only be due to Muslim influence, not because Judeo-Christians, Hinduists and Buddhists ask for it to stop. That's one of the worst things about "protected class" statuses.

9/11: Never Forget

The flight paths of the 9/11 hijacked planes

Adagio For Strings, Op. 11, sound track from a recording conducted by Leonard Bernstein (1918-1990):

From the YouTube blurb:

A slideshow tribute to the events of September 11, 2001. Focus is on people, their connection with the towers, past and present, and not simply a play by play of news footage. Communicating the full range of expression from terror to sacrifice, compassion, and sacrifice...as well as the ways in which people responded as friends, neighbors and as Americans. Set to Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings, which was played at Ground Zero during the memorial service the same week as the tragedy.

IT SEEMS SHE HAS BEEN RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL



The woman can't deal with the rigors of a Remembrance Ceremony.

Imagine if there were an actual attack on our nation.

AOW here...

I was watching the 9/11 commemoration ceremonies live and saw HRC on camera. She looked like hell. Really. I even said to Mr. AOW, "What's wrong with her? She looks like the mischief!"

A few minutes later, HRC had the medical episode.  No cameras in that restricted area, so we don't have footage of the episode.

Contrary to the narrative already running, it wasn't hot and humid in NYC this morning: it was 79 degrees with 44% humidity.  I checked the weather within a few minutes of HRC's medical episode.

PASTORIUS AGAIN: 

Here's a slo-mo and zoomed version of the video, which makes it a lot easier to see what's going on.
