The "911 propaganda onslaught" thread

Shit, "connection" would be an understatement. http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=c ... %22.com%22 "Protege" would seem to suit it better. I found Mayo searching Krongard.

Thanks, I should have saved you the trouble. Could have easily looked that up myself, a moment of laziness. It's just been a while since I looked into the Krongard thing. That one always really stood out with me, Krongard, his position, and his relationship with Tenant. But that's another thread.

It's practically a joke at this point that 9/11 is basically the same as 911.

Except for the fact that 9/11/73 was before "911" as a telephone number ever existed.

You know, the whole Allende thing in Chile.

People say it "nine eleven", they don't say it "nine slash eleven".

Right, but out of all days, like the color red...9 1 1 burns bright as trauma and emergency. And there are many instances of 9/11 throughout history. Heck the infamous Ottoman empire being pushed from Austria many days ago. Why is it so many of the big terror attacks post 9/11 have fallen on a 7 or 11?

I put this originally into another thread, but I think it belongs here, too. It's such an obvious piece of emotional propaganda.

At funeral, dog mourns the death of Navy SEAL killed in Afghanistan

Jon Tumilson, a Navy SEAL, was one of 30 Americans killed in Afghanistan on Aug. 6 when a rocket-propelled grenade took out a U.S. Chinook helicopter. He was mourned at a service in Rockford, Iowa, attended by 1,500 family members, friends--and Hawkeye, Tumilson's dog.

The Labrador retriever was such an important part of Tumilson's life that the friends and family of the San Diego resident called the dog his "son."

When Tumilson's friend Scott Nichols walked to the front of the room to speak, Hawkeye followed, Today.com reports. "As Nichols prepared to memorialize his friend, Hawkeye dutifully laid down near the casket," Scott Stump writes.

Forgive me, but ....

I saw that. While I believe the veracity of the reporting, it's just another "God bless Amerikkka" moment like Obama at the podium the night of May 1st with a zillion twittery texts going out.
Or the 30 spec ops killed recently in Afghanistan...endless Lynch/Tilman moments to be sure

My first kid is due on sept 11th this year.

I've been holding off mentioning it, but after WR's post above

But apparently 95% of children aren't born on their due date so I guess that means its unlikely to happen.

I noticed a large portion of everyone I know on my facebook have birthdays between mid august and early october with a huge concentration in mid-ish september

Imo 9/11 is as relevant as ever in the public consciousness. It's not front burner anymore, but it's the centerpiece of each of our perception of what world we're living in exactly, and probably will remain so for a long time.

I think any significant further progress in breaking 9/11 truth consciousness would only come from a very specific and sophisticated meme campaign, i.e. choosing one angle and going wild with it in the multi-media sphere. Folks are doing this right now around Building 7, yes, but my choice would be the failure of the air defense.

Somebody finally said it in a soundbyte!

It only took 10 years. Thanks, Hugh.

I experienced a bit of September 11 propaganda a week ago Thursday, late in the day. A co-worker forwarded an email expressing great concern about Friday's commute (in and around the DC area). Quoting the entire article forwarded by the co-worker, because I found it quite absurd.

Anyhow, the scenario, here in DC, a couple weeks before the 10th anniversary of September 11, the federal government strongly encourages employees to work from home, ostensibly to accommodate 1800 motorcycles riding in tribute to that fateful day. I experience a couple disconnects while reading this. By comparison, DC hosts Rolling Thunder Memorial Day weekend each year. Rolling Thunder participants number in the tens of thousands. I can't cite similar such fear mongering around Rolling Thunder (for which riders arrive in the area for at least a week before -- motorcycles EVERYWHERE.)

Then, this memorial group remains hopeful that drivers affected by the lane closures will be mindful of the group's cause. I suspect affected drivers may be more mindful of who in the hell schedules lane closures in and around DC during Friday's rush hour (potentially morning AND afternoon). The whole thing had a weird ring to it.

9/11 motorcycle ride expected to cause major traffic delays

Motorists should avoid Western Maryland and Northern Virginia on Friday, Aug. 19, and Interstate 95 North in Maryland on Saturday morning, Aug. 20. Police expect to escort 1,800 motorcycles on a Sept. 11 tribute ride that will require closing some of the region’s most congested highways.

The potential for gridlock Friday afternoon is of such concern that the U.S. Office of Personnel Management “strongly urges” federal employees to telework or take leave. A Virginia highway spokeswoman advised all Northern Virginia commuters to treat Friday as a snow day and work from home.

Maryland officials say motorists in Western Maryland who drive certain routes Friday morning should add two hours to their travel times. While the rolling lane closures should last about an hour as the procession of motorcycles — expected to stretch 12 to 15 miles — passes, officials said they expect backups to ripple throughout the area for hours.

“Friday afternoon is a day when you’ll want to be out of town or telecommuting or on the Metro,” said Joan Morris of the Virginia Department of Transportation. “We certainly hope it’s not as bad as we’re planning for.”

Major delays are expected in Northern Virginia between noon and 7 p.m. Friday. Though the ride will take place mostly on major highways — the Dulles Greenway, the Dulles Toll Road, Interstate 66 and Route 110 South — backups from the closures are likely to spill over onto the Capital Beltway, the George Washington Parkway and many local roads, officials said.

Travelers are also likely to face major delays in reaching Reagan National Airport and leaving Dulles International Airport. If forecast thunderstorms occur, motorcycle riders would have to lower their speeds, causing more backups on the three-day ride, which begins Friday in Shanksville, Pa., travels to the Pentagon and ends Sunday in downtown Manhattan.

Ted Sjurseth, a Leesburg resident and president of the nonprofit group America’s 911 Foundation, which organized the ride, said it must pass through the Washington region Friday afternoon and Saturday morning in order to reach all three plane-crash sites within three days.

He said the group understands its effect on traffic but hopes those caught in the backups will remember their cause.

“We’re here breathing today and trying to honor those who gave their life that day,” Sjurseth said. “There’s no great time to do it. . . . We’re not here to party. It’s a remembrance ride.”

Sjurseth said the group had 2,800 participants as of Wednesday, close to its goal of 2,977 participants — one for every person killed in the terrorist attacks. Most will be riding on 1,800 motorcycles, he said, and about 60 will assist with breakdowns and any injuries. He said the group raises money for $2,000 college scholarships awarded to children of police officers and fire and rescue workers.

Motorists whose patience will be tested first will be those on eastbound highways driving Friday morning through Western Maryland. The riders — and the lane closures that will accompany them — are scheduled to reach Cumberland around 8 a.m. and affect highways near Hagerstown, Frederick and Point of Rocks for the rest of the morning.

Riders are expected to enter Loudoun County about 2 p.m. Friday and head to Crystal City, where they will spend the night. They are scheduled to leave the Pentagon at 6:45 a.m. Saturday and head to New York using Interstate 395 North, Pennsylvania Avenue, the Baltimore-Washington Parkway and I-95. Maryland State Police have advised motorists to avoid northbound B/W Parkway and I-95 from 6:45 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday. The group plans to ride to the World Trade Center site Sunday morning.

John Townsend, a spokesman for AAA Mid-Atlantic, said he understands the “sacrosanct” nature of a Sept. 11 commemorative event but said motorists should have been given more warning.

“It’s right smack dab in the middle of rush hour,” Townsend said. “Whoever gave the permission for this needs to have his head examined.”

Lt. James E. DeFord, a spokesman for the Virginia State Police, said: “It’s really not a matter of ‘allowing’ it. It’s a public highway. We can’t throw up a gate and say, ‘You can’t come into Virginia.’ ”

He said the lane closures are required to keep the riders together as a safety precaution. Crashes are less likely to occur, he said, if riders unfamiliar with the area don’t have to weave through traffic to follow each other.

While the ride has taken place through Northern Virginia on summer Friday afternoons during the past nine years, officials said, it usually has been several hundred motorcycles, causing short-lived disruptions. This year’s event, in the lead-up to the 10th anniversary of the attacks, is expected to draw more than four times as many participants.

The TV ad for this is particularly horrifying -- a perfect CGI replication of one of the airliners, in close up, flying in EXTREME SLOW MOTION, into the building.

This deserves extra attention. This is National Geographic ... showing a FAKE video of a plane hitting the WTC. See the 2:15 mark.

Talk about bringing the event into "focus" ... now brought to you in hi-definition!

The relentless Irene panic underlines the coming anniversary. The past several days in new york city have been unbearable. Most people seem wiling to completely lose all vestige of reason given any opportunity to do so. A real crisis would easily tip this population into mass psychosis. It's frightening and utterly disheartening.

It's sad. Apparently Murdoch now owns enough of the National Geo channel that he (or someone just like him) controls the programming on that channel lock stock and barrel. Whenever I flip by that channel on my DishTv, they're usually showing some kind of "doc" or reality show about prisons. They really have a thing for prisons.

When I was a teenager my dream was to be a National Geographic photographer, so this is especially galling.

But yes, the slow motion, stunningly beautiful (as eye candy at least) shot of the long hard airliner penetrating the formerly untouched building is realy disturbing.

Yet they saw to it to give it the "shaky cam" and "video trouble" treatment. Good one.

Destructive thread title. Please change it.

The events of September 11, 2001 are denoted as "9/11," the eleventh day of the ninth month of the year.

"911" is the American phone number for emergency response by men in uniform.

Your confusing the two is playing right into the hands of the perps who designed the death of a few thousand people as a meme for ending the Enlightenment.

Eh? As an american do you or do you not write your dates with the month first then the day in a really annoying fashion that all software defaults to? And how long have you been doing that for? Ever considered that the date might have been picked because of the number? Or even the number was decided along with the date (actually that's just me speculating but I did look into it, couldn't find out much tho).
