I feel obliged to comment on Stephen’s article about the landing gear of a Boeing aircraft suddenly being discovered in New York City. And in the immediate vicinity of a proposed Islamic community center. And a few blocks from Ground Zero. Heavens.
Perhaps I can quote the central part of that article:
“The piece of equipment was discovered Wednesday by surveyors inspecting the lower Manhattan site of a planned Islamic community center, at 51 Park Place, on behalf of the building’s owner, police said. The inspector was on the roof and noticed the debris and then called 911. Police secured the scene, documenting it with photos.
“The spot where the landing gear was found is about three blocks from ground zero. When plans for the mosque and community center were first announced several years ago, a furor erupted. Opponents protested that putting a Muslim facility near ground zero showed disrespect. Supporters cited freedom of religion and said it wasn’t too close to where Islamic extremists attacked on Sept. 11.” (1)
Notice the gratuitous reminder of the previous furor and the positive assertion that it was “Islamic extremists” who caused 9/11 (it was not).
“In a statement, Sharif El-Gamal, the president of Soho Properties, which owns 51 Park Place, said workers called the city and the police as soon as they discovered the landing gear. He said the company is cooperating with the city and the police to make sure the piece of equipment “is removed with care as quickly and effectively as possible.”
“The medical examiner’s office will complete a health and safety evaluation to determine whether to sift the soil around the buildings for possible human remains, police said.”
We mention the oh-so-touchy subject of “human remains,” which must inflame anyone who suffered on 9/11.
“Patricia Riley, whose sister Lorraine Riley was killed in the Sept. 11 attacks, said the landing gear discovery was “very strange.”
“’Twelve years later we are still finding remnants of the attack on our country,’ she said. ‘… For years to come we’ll continue to find things that we didn’t see before. Hopefully they’ll serve as a reminder that we have to stay vigilant.’”
Yes, we do need the reminder to remain vigilant. But the real question is: Vigilant against what and whom? Our own agencies, military and government?
“Outside the Islamic center building, known as Park51, a police officer stood next to the door on Friday and a police barricade was set up to contain the many journalists who had gathered to try to see the piece of the plane.”
Many journalists bought it. You should too. Is this out of a 1950s “They Came From Outer Space” movie?
Longtime readers of this blog will have heard me say what follows (2) and perhaps may prefer to just skip this article (yes, yes, I waited till now to tell you). But for anyone who hasn’t, I do feel the need to repeat it.
I agree with Stephen that this is about the most blatant attempt to keep Islamophobia alive in America that I’ve seen recently. To interview people who had relatives die in 9/11, to remind people that they need to remain vigilant, to locate the landing gear right next to an Islamic center, on and on – heavens, do those responsible really believe that we are this bereft of good sense that we would buy this kind of staged performance at this late date?
I guess they do.
So just to remind folks: People representing Islam as an organized institution, Muslims, of whatever political stripe, and anyone even claiming to speak for Islam while falling into neither of these two categories had nothing to do with 9/11, with a few exceptions. Those exceptions were General Mahmud Ahmed, Director General of the Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence Agency, who served as a bagman and received a very large payment in the United States on 9/11 for the part that his confederates played. Hardly an Islamic extremist.
It also included various John Does who may have been Muslims but worked for the real people behind 9/11. (3) They probably had some association with the United States government or its agencies, or allied governments (Israel, Britain, etc.) and their agencies. And some of them worked in the financial institutions who bankrolled 9/11.
But, as subsequent events showed, there never were nineteen Arab hijackers with boxcutters. Everything connected to the event was staged.
In fact all of us, all of us, owe a huge apology to world Islam for blaming it for so many years for 9/11 and for punishing Muslims for something they probably had nothing to do with. Granted that many Muslims after 9/11 may have taken actions based on how they felt being blamed for 9/11 (if they even knew that Muslims had not carried out 9/11), the fact remains that 9/11 was a false-flag operation for which Muslims were made the scapegoat and successfully so.
I could run through the details which lie behind why I say that, but I’ve said that before and direct you to those articles. (Again 2) One by one, the lies and manipulations have been exposed to show that the act of blaming Muslims and making that charge stick was a central part of the plan to create this “new Pearl Harbor” (4) and start a plan of world conquest in motion. That plan would have seen you and me, Christians, Muslims and Jews, and everyone on this planet, except the perpetrators, brought under conditions amounting more or less to slavery. (5)
Now here’s the latest crude (or crafty) attempt to stir the pot, following as it does on the latest engineered incident (the Boston Marathon Bombings, only the latest in manufactured incidents that have cost many innocent lives).
Please, don’t sully your conscience by buying into this charade but perhaps consider whether the time has not arrived to apologize to world Islam for the awful, shabby, and undeserved way we treated it as a result of being hoodwinked by our own governments.
