The Obama administration defended the marking of 9/11 with Islamic supremacist “talking points” disrespecting our war dead and whitewashing the incalculable cost of the jihadist war on America. This crushing act of appeasement is for ….
…..the creation of a “positive, forward-looking narrative.”
Yesterday, I posted on Obama’s 9/11 anniversary “talking points,” telling officials to “minimize references to Al Qaeda,” and the ongoing whitewash and propagandizing of the tenth anniversary of 911: “Never Forget” Morphs into “Forget it”
Story continues below advertisement
The leftist/Islamic machine is in full throttle now, with the White House strong-arming officials to omit who attacked us and why we were attacked. The White House has issued guidelines detailing what the White House has deemed the important themes that must be discussed, as well as the tone the 9/11 observances should take.
the document states that officials should “minimize references to Al Qaeda.” Within the text, Osama bin Laden’s death is the reason given for this request. In what could be interpreted as somewhat of a political call to arms, the guidelines tell officials to place emphasis on the fact that “Al Qaeda and its adherents have become increasingly irrelevant.”
If this is not surrender, what is?
There will be a real memorial and remembrance at Ground Zero on September 11th. All Americans who love freedom should stand with us on hallowed ground on the tenth anniversary of that horrible day.
Marking 9/11: Obama Aides Defend ‘Talking Points’
Top spokesmen for the Obama administration on Tuesday defended the White House’s issuance of “talking points” designed to shape how federal officials in this country and American diplomats serving abroad frame the upcoming 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks.
The guidelines, which were first reported by The New York Times, encompassed two sets of instructions: one drawn up chiefly for domestic consumption, the other geared primarily toward foreign audiences and disseminated to U.S. Embassy officers throughout the world.
“This is not unusual,” said State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland, adding that the Bush administration had issued press guidance for federal officials on the occasions of the second and fifth anniversaries of Sept. 11 – which Nuland repeatedly referred to in her briefing from the State Department podium as “nine-one-one.”
Nuland said the advisory to overseas ambassadors and their consular staff was motivated “primarily to ensure that embassies are marking the event, that they are having joint events in their host country to stand together against terrorism, and ensure that the day is marked appropriately internationally.”
Still, the documents, as reported in the Times¸ contained some unusual elements.
One set of guidelines urged U.S. officials to “minimize references to Al-Qaeda.” The documents cited the killing of Usama bin Laden as evidence that the terror network that plotted and executed the Sept. 11 attacks is becoming “increasingly irrelevant.”
Another talking point instructed American officials overseas to seek to universalize the commemorative day by noting: “We honor all victims of terrorism, in every nation…whether in New York or Nairobi, Bali or Belfast, Mumbai or Manila, or Lahore or London.”
The same document reminded readers: “A chief goal of our communications is to present a positive, forward-looking narrative.”
“I think the fact that you would actually instruct government officials to speak differently about 9/11 simply based on where they’re standing is not just insulting to American audiences and foreign audiences, but again, I think it’s a little bit of a window into how they look at national security issues,” said Jennifer Millerwise Dyck, a former press aide to Vice President Cheney and director of public affairs at the Central Intelligence Agency.
“This is a government that is not entirely comfortable with the role that it has to play in some cases to keep America safe….[Not] to talk about how this government plans to keep us safe in the wake of the current threats that we face, I think, is really a missed opportunity.”
The White House suggested the guidelines were unworthy of media attention. Briefing reporters aboard Air Force One en route to Minneapolis, where the commander-in-chief addressed the annual conference of the American Legion, Press Secretary Jay Carney said: “The approach that we’re taking to commemorating that tragedy, and the remarkable resilience of the American people in its wake, is one that we think is appropriate.”
In the administration’s repeated use of that word – “resilience,” which refers to the ability to bounce back from adversity – one analyst discerned an ulterior motive.
“The president’s in political trouble,” Democratic political consultant Hank Sheinkopf told Fox News, in an interview from New York. “He wants to be resilient. And by telling the country to be ‘resilient,’ it’s kind of a code word for saying, ‘Hey, I’m as good as you are. We’ll all be resilient together.’ But that’s not what 9/11 really ought to be about. The politics of it are less important than the lives of Americans lost.”.
At the State Department, spokeswoman Nuland explained the guidelines’ premium on the creation of a “positive, forward-looking narrative” as an effort to solidify the alliances the country formed in the wake of Sept. 11.

Another anniversary that seems to have been conveniently buried by the MSM is the Beslan child rape orgy and massacre.
Don’t mention the M-word
“Five years ago Muslim extremists invaded a school in Beslan, Russia. These Muslim terrorists held over a thousand people, most of them children, hostage. For three days these Muslim terrorists killed and tortured countless victims. The ways in which they were treated I will abbreviate . Children were shot for crying. Teachers and parents were shot for trying to calm the hostages. Young girls were gang raped. Young girls were raped with gun barrels and other objects. Many young girls did not survive these rapes. Children were forced to drink their own urine before being executed. The list of inhuman acts committed by these Muslim animals is as nothing I have ever heard before.
Now to the reason I have titled this “Muslims had nothing to do with Beslan massacre”.
Today I wanted to post something in the memory of the poor souls murdered in Beslan, so I started looking for a nice story already written and spell checked that I might copy and paste here. What I found disturbed me. Both BBC and SKY NEWS have stories about the five years after the event in Beslan. Neither story mentions Muslims or Islam. The British news is perverting history by not mentioning the identities of the attackers. It’s hard to believe that with Beslan on my mind today that I could find something in the news that would cause me disgust… http://crombouke.blogspot.com/2010/01/beslan-child-rape-torture-enforced.html

I don’t think this is “surrender” but it does sound like Clinton vis avis OBL. Dismissive and pretending that the problem was solved.
I have no objection with remembering victims of London, Madrid and Mumbai though I would think that should go without saying and without a “talking points memo”. I don’t think the USA needs to remind its diplomats in these countries to mention their acknowledgement regarding local victims of AQ/Islamic terror .
This is a huge risk for the Obama gang. As all it takes is another attack and this new posture will look like a dogs ass to the whole world.
What is missing from all these ceremonies is the acknowledgement of and education about an ideology which caused this tragedy. Churchill had no problem attacking Nazism in public nor did any US president have any issue with going after communism/soviet imperialism during the cold war.
This time around all the reality is missing from the presentations.
It is also OK and think appropriate to praise Americans and NY ers for their resilience, discipline and noble behavior after the attacks. It is not OK to forget to mention the troops. I suspect this admin will minimize those elements in their presentations.

Time is coming closer to the enth anniversary of the September 11, 2001 catastrophe and all the suffering it produced. At the time of this affront there were Muslims how were celabrating with gladness in the streets of some Islamic countries. This shows the evil spritual contidion of those followers of Islam who rejoyed. To this the Bible teaches in Proverbs 17:5 “whoever gloats over distaster will not go unpunished.” Relating to this Proverbs 28:4 reads “Those who forsake the law prasise the wicked, but those who keep the law resist them.” Cerainly the American military had fought and resisted the jihadists villians in Afghanistan who put those murderous hijackers up top that monstrocity. What those al Qaeda operatives did and their characters are best described in Psalm 94:21 which reads “They band together agaist the wicked and condemn the innocent to death.” [NIV]

I am SICK AND TIRED of that waste of skin occupying the WH telling Americans that WE are the ones who have it wrong. I am BEYOND fed up! 9/11 is a day of remembrance. Ground Zero is hallowed ground. It is a GRAVEYARD, and NO ONE is going to tell me or millions of other American how we are supposed to feel, and what words we are supposed to use. NO ONE. The whitewashing of the murder of almost 3,000 people on American soil by muslim terrorists is absolutely disgusting. This is the bottom of the barrel. Bar none!

The mindset and the end of the jihadists who did those heinous actions on September 11,2001 as well as other militant Muslims are best describded in Ecclesesiastes 9:3. Which reads “the hearts of the sons of men are full of evil; madness is in their hearts while they live, and after that they go to the dead.”
Also, all the al Qaeda operatives who did that evil thing that day had a harsh awakening when they died. For instead of having a paradise with 72 virgins to their horror they found themselves suffering in hell. This because their imams lied to them about such place with 72 virgins. For this false doctrine from the Quran is just one of the many “clverly invented stories ” of men, Second Peter 1:16. [NIV]

I don’t know about the rest, but the lack of clergy participating in the memorial is probably a good idea.

I think clergy is a nice thing, if it comforts my American
brothers and sisters, as it does me, than I am only too
happy to make sure they feel consoled.
Pam, why is it that I am able to post right under the comment
section, reply to people too and then other times once I submit
my comment it needs some wierd letters to “approve it” or
something to that effect. Not that you need to accomodate me,
but the simpler format was, in my opinion, easy and desirable
for someone like me.

Every day another reason to resent the panderer in chief. How dare he tell American citizens how to act, think, behave, speak while trying to rob us of something so personal. But we must be careful not to hurt the feelings of muslim, that is what is most important to the creep in chief.

“Resilient” my a$$. He is pandering to his fellow muslims worldwide, as usual. I will be there a week from Sunday if it has to be on crutches, and I hope many of those coming into downtown to pay respects will join us.
Also, I’d like to recommend a “what-if” essay by Edward Cline currently up at the Rule of Reason blog. The link is http://ruleofreason.blogspot.com/. It’s sort of “speculative fiction” and we all deserve to indulge in some “what might have been” imaginings at this time.
(I’m puzzled by the photo at the top of the post. It looks like Saks Fifth Ave. across from Rockefeller Center, but people are facing uptown, the wrong way. We know the towers could be seen from the steps of St. Patrick’s Cathedral next door because there is a famous photo of people standing there reacting to one of the towers collapsing. Does anyone know where it was taken and what people were looking at?)

I was born and raised under a totalitarian regime in a third world country. I can recognize this administration is setting the tone for an abrupt stop to our freedom of thought and freedom of speech. The freedom of the press was lost decades ago. Unless Americans wake up fast to this new dawn, the best social experiment ever created will be buried for generations.

You have no clout
You better not try
You better watch out, I’m telling you why.
The Twelfth Imam is Obama and he has come to Washington town
Attack on Israel is on list
And he’ll betray America more than once or twice
Good Muslims may die
But will go to paradise
The Twelfth Imam is Obama and he has come to Washington town
He knows if you’re a Christian
He knows if you’re a Jew
He knows if you’re an in-fi-del
He knows if you are a Tea Partier
He’s been told by Allah just what to do
So….You have no clout
You better not try, I’m telling you why.

I am again strongly urging all Zionist and Christian forces who are working with Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer against the Islamic Holy Forces of Allah to submit immediately. Otherwise, we will hold them responsible for their actions. Any attempt to fight the Islamic Holy forces of Allah is now completely pointless. We are committed to putting all of the world under our jurisdiction.
You cannot overcome the Islamic Holy Forces of Allah now that we have our brother, Imam Hussein Obama, in control of your country and your military. Any individual or group that tries to fight the Islamic Holy Forces of Allah will now be humiliated at the White House or banned from NYC. With the help of our brother, Imam Hussein Obama, the Islamic Holy Forces of Allah will easily overcome Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer and all of thier Zionist, Christian, Infidel and AtlasShrug stooges. Allah willing.
The great dream of Islam will come true. Muslims dream to see flags that read: “There is no God but Allah” fluttering in the wind over the White House, the Pentagon, the Temple Mount and Haram al-Sharif, and over NYC Ground Zero, Allah willing.

The biggest issue at this moment is Libya. Before it was Ivory Coast. Before it was Egypt. Soon it will be Israel.
The issue of Libya is of the greatest importance because if the alliance of NATO and essentially The Muslim Brotherhood, as well as sections of Al Qaida, is allowed to go unchallenged then that opens the door for NATO power to be used against Israel.
There is an alliance on the ground as well as in the air over Libya between the terrorists of Islam and the forces of NATO, which are in terms of on the ground the men of the British SAS, the French Legionaires, and the US Seals
There is the rub, the same who killed Gadhafi, and even there, there is the possibility that Obama ordered it to bolster his image, although that is uncertain.
In any case it seems to me that the whole of the US and the European Media are hiding the reality of the alliance which their Governments have made and are making with Fascism in Libya
And this raises the possibility that NATO troops, which must have American Seals special troops at the forefront, will be used to enforce the “Palestine” State, which is the same really as this new state and states being enforced in Libya, Egypt, Ivory Coast, and many others
Gadhafi has been isolated completely by the anti Jihad movement
It was absolutely vital to defend Gadhafi unconditionally against the Fascist NATO in alliance with the Fascist Muslim Brotherhood/Al Qaida
The following url deals with exactly the position which Gadhafi found himself. He saw NATO in alliance with his enemies, and in that situation he said “two can play at that game” and that was why he sent his son Saif to make overtures
I repeat Gadhafi has been isolated
It was not correct to say and to limit the taking of positions to “after Gadhafi it will be worse”. It was necessary to defend Gadhafi without conditions against his enemies.
That was not done.
In fact every attempt was made by JihadWatch to stick the knife into Gadhafi and to say there was no difference between Gadhafi and his enemies in Libya and in NATO. But there was a difference, all the difference in the world. Pamela Geller went along at least to some extent with Jihadwatch on this.
The url to look at in this regard is:
http://www.debka.com/article/21259/
While not implying political agreement with the political programme of Gadhafi at any time the defence of Gadhafi against NATO/Muslim Brotherhood must be placed at the centre of the rally being organized by Geller and Spencer on the 10th anniversary. It goes without saying that I support and defend Geller and Spencer on this rally regardless of other political differences.
Putting Libya, and the defence of Gadhafi against NATO, and against the NATO/MB Alliance, at the centre of the 10th anniversary, would help to expose better than anyhting else the real alliance which exists between Obama/Cameron/Hague/Sarkozy and The Muslim Brotherhood
But if that is not done the issue of 9.11 is removed from the real issue and struggle of today, and especially how the conquest of Libya by this reactionary coalition (Of NATO and Islam) can lead also to the conquest of the Jews and Israel by the same reactionary alliance

under clinton, jamie GORE-LICK “redefined” the inter-agency guidelines of interaction and (mis)communication for CIA, FBI, etc… that led to what the LSM called egotism and fighting over ‘who gets credit’ AND INABILITY TO WORK TOGETHER for the safety and security of the people.
GORE-LICK was then REWARDED with MILLIONS of taxpayers’ dollars with a position on the board of directors of mickey mae/minnie mac.
