Rounding Up Years of 911 Stories on Salem-News.com

We offer this list of critical reviews of the government's version of the 9/11 events from one year ago...

(SALEM, Ore.) - This roundup of stories about 9/11 represents the work of a large number of our writers who sometimes have a hard time sleeping over the nagging, agonizing facts that we do know about 9/11.

There is ample evidence to prove to anyone with a reasonable comprehension of science and physics, that little of what the government claims is even physically possible, and absolutely untrue.

(LONDON) - At every 9/11 anniversary emotions run high, wounds rip open and the shock horror that changed our lives forever, resurfaces again.

What also resurfaces is the resentment and hatred against Muslims dividing societies ironically into Georges Bush’s ideal worldview of “us” and “them”.

Ten Years After 9/11: What We Know and Where Do We Go?

Up until THAT DAY we call 9/11, I was a typical self-satisfied, self-centered, uninformed, misinformed comfortably numb American Christian.

(CLERMONT, Fla.) - Middle East correspondent of The Independent, Robert Fisk recently wrote:

“By their books, ye shall know them…In the years since, of course, we've been deluged with a rich literature of post-9/11 trauma, from the eloquent The Looming Tower of Lawrence Wright to the Scholars for 9/11 Truth, whose supporters have told us that the plane wreckage outside the Pentagon was dropped by a C-130...

An American-Palestinian Reflection on 9/11

Ten years after September 11, 2001, we still have the choice of continuing the same policies that lead to war and conflict or to insist on human rights and hold violators accountable.

(WEST KINGSTON R.I.) - Dr. Mazin Qumsiyeh, an American Palestinian, spent several years teaching genetics at Yale University. Today he teaches and does research at Bethlehem and Birzeit Universities in occupied Palestine.

Get `er done!

This story has been told in greater detail by Rebecca Liss in her article titled “An Unlikely Hero” and published September 10, 2002. It was recently reprinted by MSN/Slate.

(HARRISVILLE, N.H.) - The three words that make-up the title of today’s piece typify the attitude that caused more than one Commander-in-Chief to issue the order to “Send in the Marines”! Those words also define the attitude of a Marine who has been described as “Crazy Brave” for his actions at Ground Zero on September 11, 2001.

The Loneliness of the Falling Man

Ten years now and no one knows of this falling man nor what he, in his last gasp cries to us to seek--justice, that his last flight might have purpose.

(LAVERNE, Calif. ) - A new film highlights a photograph taken by Richard Drew of a man hurtling to his death, one shot in a series as he fell from the 102nd story of the World Trade Center.

The image “The Falling Man” is centered on, is a shot no one wants to see or remember; yet it is unforgettable, catastrophic, a frozen image of human suffering, desperation, forlornness, loneliness in the last seconds of light and life before everlasting darkness.

What Real Motivation was Behind the Terrorist Attacks on the United States?

Almost 3,000 innocent people died, and freedom we enjoyed before 9/11 was abridged by the same government that claimed it wanted to protect it.

(LAGUNA BEACH) - Nine days after the attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, President Bush continued his theme that the terrorist attacks were motivated by al-Qaeda’s hatred of American freedoms.

But the President added another new layer to the “why” question when he asserted al-Qaeda had a dream of remaking the world in al-Qaeda’s own image.

“There is no peace. There is no safety in the city. We do not let our children outside when it’s dark. We are afraid. We always wait for something bad,” “When Gaddafi was here, at least we didn’t have to sleep awake, like we do now.”

(TRIPOLI Mathaba ) - Former U.S. Congressman Walter Fauntroy, who recently returned from a self-sanctioned peace mission to Libya, said he went into hiding for about a month in Libya after witnessing horrifying events in Libya's bloody civil war -- a war that Fauntroy claims is backed by European forces.

Fauntroy's sudden disappearance prompted rumors and news reports that he had been killed.

Hunger Striker Protesting a Crime Against Humanity

The Irish and the Palestinians share a history of occupation and oppression.

(DUBLIN) - Terence Barry says ‘we have a song here in Ireland called Only Our Rivers Run Free, but in Palestine the Israelis have even stolen the water supplies. In Palestine not even their Rivers Run Free.’

This week, Terence Barry said he wants his hunger strike ‘to highlight the Israeli genocide on the people of Gaza.’
