"A decade after officials inaugurated it in a quiet corner of the Boston Public Garden, the muted memorial to the 206 people with ties to Massachusetts who died in the terrorist attacks appears to be deteriorating."
Just like the official story, but “this is a memorial that should be maintained.”
I'm so damn sick of living under official lies and myths.
"Fund gap hits National Guard training" by Russ Bynum and Dan Sewell | Associated Press September 06, 2014
CINCINNATI — Many of the nation’s citizen-soldiers, whose motto is ‘‘Always Ready, Always There,’’ won’t be at regular training drills this weekend because of a federal funding shortfall.
Un-flipping-f***ing-believable!!!
So how much is the invasion of the Middle East going to cost, Obummer?
Always plenty of money to create and fund terror groups we have to go fight and enough to dole out dough to illegal juntas they have installed. But NO MONEY for the HOME FRONT!
What a f***ing bunch of sphincters down there in D.C.!
Tens of thousands of Army National Guard members from New Hampshire to Hawaii have been idled because of a $101 million gap that has led to drills being postponed and travel being suspended, National Guard spokesman Captain John Fesler said. Meanwhile, there are efforts underway in Congress to get funding reallocated so drills can be held later this month and so Guard members will get pay they were counting on.
Decisions to postpone or cancel drills were being made by state Guard leaders. Among states that announced they put off training exercises are Alabama, California, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Montana, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, and Utah. Some, including Alaska, New Jersey, Oregon, and Vermont, planned to go ahead as scheduled. Texas authorities said Guard members already on border missions won’t be affected by the training delay.
Among reasons for the shortfall are fewer Guard deployments overseas that are funded separately and higher-than-expected attendance for training paid by the Guard.
I'm sorry, I no longer care to see excuses by this government that always has billions whenever Israel wants them.
‘‘The National Guard is committed to resolving the issue with least impact to our citizen-soldiers and ensuring they are ready for missions whether at home or overseas,’’ Fesler said.
The Ohio National Guard’s adjutant general, Major General Deborah Ashenhurst, announced postponement in a video last week. She said drills were being rescheduled to the end of the month in hopes that funding will be available.
‘‘We’re very much aware that this action will be at best an inconvenience for all of you and will have varying degrees of economic impact across the force,’’ Ashenhurst said in the video message. ‘‘We’re taking this action as a last resort.’’
Most of the nation’s 350,000 Army Guard members are part time, and many have full-time civilian jobs. They get paid for readiness training, earning hundreds of dollars for a weekend of drills depending on their rank. They also get credits toward retirement benefits.
‘‘When you’re a young college student and working hard to make ends meet and trying to serve your country right now, it’s not good,’’ said Robbie McGalliard, a 27-year-old artillery gunner in the Georgia National Guard.
A spokesman for the New Hampshire National Guard said postponement will affect 140 soldiers.

More mind-manipualting myth promotion:
"9/11 did not transform the world" by Michael A. Cohen | September 06, 2014
Like every New Yorker I remember Sept. 11, 2001, like it happened yesterday.
So do I, and I can't wait until tomorrow.
As for my memories, well, we all know the 800-lb gorilla in the room, and there is no sense dancing around the missing links anymore. It's what they call the old triple cross.
There was the feeling of utter disbelief when I turned on the television that morning to see two gaping holes in the twin towers of World Trade Center; the surreal sensation of walking down my block and seeing smoke from Lower Manhattan while those around me were still oblivious to the horror unfolding a mile a way; the acrid smell of burning steel and constant conversations that began with “where were you . . . ” that became a routine feature of daily life in New York; and worst of all the realization, two days after the attacks, that my friend, Brock Safronoff, whose wedding I’d attended five weeks earlier, had died that morning in the North Tower.
Yeah, there sure was utter belief when I found out the immutable laws of physics prevented those buildings from pancaking like that.
From a national perspective, 9/11 felt like a before and after moment. But looking back 13 years later that seems not quite right. The horror of 9/11 increasingly feels more like an outlier event in global history; a terrible tragedy that bred an irrational response but not one that transformed the world.
Yeah, right it wasn't a New Pearl Harbor that has led to so much tyranny and death.
I knows it is ju st this guy's opinion, but look at the propagandist work so hard to divert attention from the Project for the New American Century that is being fulfilled in 9/11's wake.
If we really want to think about global inflection points we need to step back 25 years into the past.
In September 1989 Hungary began to lift the Iron Curtain by allowing East Germans to flee via its territory to the West. This would hasten the demise of communism, eventually end the Cold War, and give birth to a new wave of freedom, economic prosperity, and global peace. It led to a host of changes in global affairs that were already taking place on 9/11 and continued, uninterrupted, in the years afterward.
I agree the Third World War started after the fall of the Soviet Union; however, PNAC documents state the transition would be long without a "catalyzing event." One year later, they got their wish.
For example, according to Freedom House, there were 69 electoral democracies in 1989; today there are 122 — a jump from 41 percent to 63 percent of all countries. And although the news today is full of stories about the latest atrocities in Syria, Iraq, and Ukraine, the overall trend in global conflict is toward fewer and less lethal wars. Indeed, the decade from 2001 to 2010, ironically, is generally considered one of the most peaceful in human history.
At the United Nations Millennium Summit in 2000, eight Millennium Development Goals — related to hunger, education, health, environmental sustainability, and gender equity — were established with a deadline of 2015. While not every goal has been met, the results are still startling — the global poverty rate has been cut in half; child mortality rates halved (which saves the lives of 17,000 children every day); 90 percent of children in the developed world attend a primary school; measles immunizations have prevented 14 million deaths; and billions of people have gained access to sanitation and clean water.
Another underappreciated trend is the world’s growing economic interdependence. There are 160 countries in the World Trade Organization, which may not seem like a big deal, but, in reality, interlinks the nations of the world around a basic set of rules and norms regarding economic interaction. While once trade disputes led to conflict, even war, today there is a peaceful means of arbitrating differences that countries willingly adhere to. Indeed, the fact that China, the world’s future largest economy, joined the WTO in December 2001 will likely be seen as a more transformative global event than the tragedy that occurred three months earlier in New York.
None of this to suggest that the threat of terrorism is unimportant or should be ignored. But the threat and the battle between good and evil that George W. Bush described after 9/11 is of far less global import than these extraordinary advances.
I'm sorry, but as an American I am offended by him saying 9/11 did not really matter. He sounds like the Zionist agent Chomsky.
If there is any argument to be made that 9/11 was a before and after moment it comes not from the act itself, but from America’s response to it. By attacking Afghanistan and, worse, Iraq; by turning terrorism into the defining issue of American foreign policy; by reducing global affairs to those “with us’’ or “against us,’’ the United States ensured that what should have been a one-off tragedy evolved into something far more insidious — a fact highlighted by the continued violence in Iraq and the rise of ISIS.
It is a reminder that while terrible events or the heinous actions of extremists get clicks and headlines, they can often mask — not reflect — the reality of the world we live in. For those of us in New York City, we will never forget 9/11; but the greater tragedy for the nation was that we let it define us.
That's funny, because newspapers do the same things!

"NIH finds old ricin, other forgotten germs in labs" Associated Press September 06, 2014
WASHINGTON — The National Institutes of Health said it has uncovered a nearly century-old container of ricin and a handful of other forgotten samples of dangerous pathogens as it combs its laboratories for improperly stored hazardous materials.
The agency began an intensive investigation of all its facilities after a scientist in July found vials of smallpox dating from the 1950s, along with other contagious viruses and bacteria that had been stored and forgotten in one lab on the campus.

They have done it before!
Friday, the health agency said in different facilities, it found small amounts of five improperly stored ‘‘select agents,’’ pathogens that must be kept only in certain highly regulated laboratories.
Ebola?
All were found in sealed and intact containers, with no evidence that they posed a safety risk. All have been destroyed.

"9/11 museum shows SEAL’s shirt from bin Laden raid" | Associated Press September 08, 2014
NEW YORK — A shirt worn by a Navy SEAL in the raid that killed Osama bin Laden and a special coin given to a CIA officer who played a key role in finding him are being displayed at the Sept. 11 museum, adding potent symbols of the terrorist attacks’ aftermath days before their anniversary.
The items were placed for view Sunday at the museum, where leaders see them as an important addition to a collection that often uses personal artifacts to explore the events and impact of 9/11.
‘‘The death of Osama bin Laden is a huge part of the history, and we have an absolute obligation to tell it,’’ Joe Daniels, the National Sept. 11 Memorial Museum president, said Saturday. The display, he said, ‘‘allows millions of visitors the chance to recognize the extraordinary bravery of the men and women who sacrifice so much for this country at home and abroad.’’
Has a Zelikow feel to it, except it turns out that it wasn't Muslims that did 9/11; it was Israel and her helpers in various western governments and intelligence agencies that did.
I flipped a coin and decided to give you this link, too.
The shirt and coin will join an existing display with a brick from the compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, where the terrorist at the helm of the attacks was killed.
The uniform shirt belonged to a now-retired member of SEAL Team Six.
Half of them are now dead due to strange helicopter and skydiving "accidents."

"Local observances to mark anniversary of Sept. 11" by Kiera Blessing | Globe Correspondent September 10, 2014
Boston will join cities and towns across the country Thursday in commemorating the 13th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Two of the planes hijacked by the terrorists for the attacks departed from Logan International Airport that morning. The ceremonies could carry added meaning this year amid the growing crisis over ISIS extremists in Syria and Iraq, and as this region continues to feel the aftereffects of the Boston Marathon bombings, said Eric Lowrey, president of the Massachusetts 9/11 Fund.
Look, a double shovel!
“There are articles that are linking ISIS with the same type of terror cells involved with 9/11,” Lowrey said. “Just last year, the Boston Marathon bombings were a huge emotional time also for Sept. 11 families, because once again in their backyard ... [there was] another attack on US soil. All these events can create the vernacular of larger events to date, like 9/11.”
It's Zelikow, it's the propaganda pre$$ narrative, it's all disgusting once you know what it is that is on the newsstand shelf.

"The Department of Homeland Security on Tuesday wanted everyone to remember the terrifying hours last year after bombs exploded near the Boston Marathon finish line, when police wearing camouflage, masks, and full body armor went from house to house, hunting for the bombers. After the search ended, neighbors gathered in the streets and cheered."
Good Lord, they are citing those staged and scripted crisis drills gone live!!

That should do it. Nothing has changed except for the worst, folks -- save for the world's eyes being wide open this time about what is going on.
And I don't want to be too negative on this terrible anniversary. The fact is I once believed and did not question the constant agenda-pushing propaganda being foisted upon us my the chosen voices of the ma$$ media. Then came Iraq, 2003, and I knew that was a lie thanks to a long forgotten man named Scott Ritter. Saw him live a year before the war, warned us of what was going to happen and it unfolded exactly as he said. Then I started going back in history. Next stop was 2001, my doors got blown off in much the way debris that turned into dust was ejected from those massive monuments that dropped at free-fall speed. You can trace the rest back, but imagine my horror discovering everything I have been taught and told was a massive lie. I'm thinking Tonkin, I'm thinking FDR LIHOP, I'm thinking atom bombs not needed, and now I need to be excused because I'm misting up.
Hell, I don't even carry any responsibility because I was not born yet but I offer the sincere and truly regretful apology to the Japanese people for those two single greatest war crimes in human history (to date). The other things after, did what I could. Failed to stop it (like now). How I ended up here last eight years. Now it is looking like a never-ending endeavor that will continue until the day I fail to draw breath.
