Veterans’ Tales by Allen Ness

I was an Observer/Controller at the Joint Readiness Training Center, Ft Polk, LA.  The Command took care of us, when we weren’t in the “box” we worked half days and three or four day weekends.  Ft Polk is the middle of nowhere but is within five hours of Houston, Shreveport, Baton Rouge and N’Orleans.  Talk about some places to party!  Party during the 90 odd days of the year you aren’t in the box.

Every month a Brigade from the US Army comes to train in the box at JRTC.  It is the premiere Light Infantry training site in the world.  The 509th Parachute Infantry Regiment (Geronimo) provides the Opposing Forces (OPFOR) and they are good at what they do.  I learned more by watching my peers fail at JRTC more than anywhere else in my career.  I must thank every one of them for sharing those lessons with me.  I suffered some shitty times with my Blue Force (BLUFOR) counterparts, wading thru Louisiana swamps chest deep, being lost like forty m*therf*ckers.  Having 10,000 mosquitoes bite and lift, threatening to carry you away.  Waking up with swollen lips from the nasty stagnant water the mosquito had been dragging it’s proboscis through.  We averaged 250 days in the field each year.  Way more than half, but we did trade in and out, we called it “refit” when we could go back home shower and be human for a day.

September eleventh, 2001 was my day for refit.  My partner came out to the box, relieved me and I drove my HUMVEE to the rear.  I parked, carried my dirty gear to my truck and drove home.  It was about 0800, Central Time.  I stopped and got a six pack on the way home.  My wife was already at work and the kids were at school.  I got home, cracked a beer and turned on the TV.  The first thing I saw was the first plane hit the tower.  The rest, the jumping bodies, the second plane, the collapsing buildings is all a blur.  A blur of outrage and growing anger.  I stared at the TV all day long, uncomprehending, lost in anger and the desire for vengeance.  Anger helped me hold back the tears.

The growing anger grew as I remained stuck in Louisiana and other units deployed to take vengeance.  I couldn’t participate but that was the one thing I wanted.  I helped train the 101st Division to go to Afghanistan but couldn’t go myself.  Finally in early 2003 I was re-assigned to the 82nd Airborne Division[…]

Trump Is Right: CNN Reported on American Muslims Celebrating 9/11

Donald Trump, Islam, Muslims, Republican Party, September 11 Islamic terrorist attacks

 

American Spectator By Jeffrey Lord

That Donald Trump said he saw clips of New Jersey Muslims celebrating 9/11. His critics pounced. But whatever he may have seen or not seen in New Jersey, CNN reported here that Muslims in New York City celebrated 9/11 — in 2009.

The clip, found on YouTube, is dated from 2009 and was apparently broadcast in the aftermath of the Ft. Hood shooting that involved U.S. Army Major Nidal Hassan, an American Muslim whose actions were celebrated by a group called “Revolution Muslim.”

The CNN segment was anchored by Anderson Cooper, with the report filed by CNN investigative reporter Drew Griffin. …

CNN “Uncovering America: Homegrown Hate” by Drew Griffin

 

The mainstream yet again has been sleeping on the job. Trump, Carson who saw the film of Muslims celebrating in the streets after 911 are repeating what many of us knew for 14 years, i.e., that Muslims (not all) living on U. S. soil celebrated the September 11, 2001 the Islamic terrorist attacks.

Five years ago, I wrote a post which I have re-posted every year on 911 since entitled, “THE MORNING OF SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 THROUGH MY EYES.”

In the post, I discuss how unable to get a bus or cab, I walked down Nostrand Avenue from the border line of Crown Heights and BedStuy in Brooklyn to my home.

…As I continued my journey home, deep in prayer for those who I am sure perished moments ago, my country, my family and our safety, I noticed that not everyone was surprised.

There are plenty of establishments on Nostrand Avenue that are owned by Muslims. I suspect that there may even be a mosque or two.

As I passed these establishments, Muslim men stood outside very quiet. Some appeared nervous. It was clear that many were concerned as others followed the events inside on television or over the radio. There was no joking or tomfoolery but as I walked by, I looked into the faces of these men who did not look back and realized that the last thing on their faces was shock.

It was at that moment, that I thought to myself, “They know, they’re in on it….”

 

They knew. What leads me to suspect that conclusion?

The attacks occurred early in the morning and it was shortly before 10 a.m. that I found myself on Nostrand Avenue. Normally, at that time of the morning, there are less than a handful of Muslims hanging about and they are usually inside their establishments with the doors closed until later in the day.

On this morning, there were dozens “gathered” outside of any one of these businesses. Very unusual for that time of the day.

Up until the morning of 911, visible and on display near the counters of Muslim establishments were family photos from their homeland of men and boys as young as three holding rifles and guns.

Also on display until the morning of 911, were the Taliban and Al Qaeda tassels that hung beside a mini Koran on the side of the rear view mirrors of NYC yellow taxicabs.

Yep, Trump is right.

NBC Censors Edward Snowden’s 9/11 Comments

Storyleak

Statements made by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden regarding the 9/11 terror attacks were edited out of his NBC Nightly News interview with Brian Williams Wednesday in what appears to be an attempt to bolster legitimacy for the agency’s controversial surveillance programs.

Snowden’s comments surrounding the failure of dragnet surveillance in stopping the 9/11 attacks were censored from the prime time broadcast and instead buried in an hour long clip on NBC’s website….

NBC’s decision to bury Snowden’s comments are unsurprising given the fact that the 9/11 attacks are exhaustively used by the federal government as the prime justification for surveilling….

‘You know this is a key question that the 9/11 commission considered, and what they found in the postmortem when they looked at all the classified intelligence from all the different intelligence agencies, they found that we had all of the information we needed as an intelligence community, as a classified sector, as the national defense of the United States, to detect this plot.

‘We actually had records of the phone calls from the United States and out. The CIA knew who these guys were. The problem was not that we weren’t collecting information, it wasn’t that we didn’t have enough dots, it wasn’t that we didn’t have a haystack, it was that we did not understand the haystack that we had.’

CAIR Asks Supporters To Lobby Obama Admin, Senators To Help Remove “Anti-Islamic Terminology” From 9/11 Museum Video…

CAIR, Islam, New York, September 11 Islamic terrorist attacks

Weasel Zippers

Because Islam had nothing to do with 9/11. Via CNS News : Days before the National September 11 Memorial Museum opens in New York, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is stepping up its campaign to urge organizers to edit a video presentation on al-Qaeda, to remove terms such as “Islamist extremism” and “jihadism.” An earlier CAIR initiative – a letter last month co-signed by several other Muslim and Arab-American organizations, complaining to museum directors about what they called “academically controversial terminology” – met with no success. On Monday CAIR’s New York chapter began asking “all Americans” to lobby […]
