Not since the Grinch stole Jesus’ Birthday from the tiny hydrocephalic aliens of Whoville has a figure of evil so blatantly tried to fuck a precious holiday to death: Barack Obama wants to make September 11 some kind of evil, patriotic day of remembering the terrorist attacks by doing something for America. It is exactly like he individually piloted all of those jets into those buildings, and knocked them down!
Ha ha, just kidding, that was Cheney who piloted the jets into the WTC and Pentagon, with a joystick, from his wheelchair. Walter Cronkite said this! (From beyond the grave.)
Uh, anyway, let’s see, some wingnut blog or another …. Yes! The Spectator, from America:
The Obama White House is behind a cynical, coldly calculated political effort to erase the meaning of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks from the American psyche and convert Sept. 11 into a day of leftist celebration and statist idolatry.
Hahahahaha.
But there’s an even funnier part, here:
The plan is to turn a “day of fear” that helps Republicans into a day of activism called the National Day of Service that helps the left. In other words, nihilistic liberals are planning to drain 9/11 of all meaning.
To recap: Wingnuts are furious about losing their “day of fear” because having a National Day of Service, in America, will “drain 9/11 of all meaning,” which is, of course, to Republicans, a “day of fear.”
Fuck these people. Or, we should say, “Good luck with the Death Panel, old white people!”

How about this? Those of us on the left will call it a “Nat’l Day of Service” and the ‘jokers to the right’ can refer to it as a Day of Fear. Since they refuse to acknowledge anything the President does. Also.
What does Rudy Giuliani think of this?
How can we be afraid when we’re pulling weeds from the median?
The plan is to turn a “day of fear” that helps Republicans into a day of activism called the National Day of Service that helps the left.
And there you have it. The Reader’s Digest Condensed Version of American politics.
9/11 was an incident of monstrous vandalism, like a baby smearing shit on the walls, writ large. That is its meaning, nothing more. So drain it away as quickly as possible, libtards.
Can’t we just have a bipartisan solution to this: we’ll build houses and cower in the basements, eating our hobo-bean-and-falafel sandwiches by the light of dolphin oil candles.
Every time a pinko liberal helps an old person across the street on 9/11, a Pat Robertson follower dies and is ass fucked by St. Peter for eternity.
OK, I’m on board.
Nobama can pry my fear from my cold dead fingers. Or after I have died, either or.
Fox Nooze should have never acknowledged that the White House ever changed hands. They should have just kept going with stock footage of Bush on vacation and Cheney ranting about the scary world and told their audience to go back to sleep in the Lazy-Boy.
If we call Day of Fear (“día de miedo”) does that mean the Republicans will hide in their houses, crawl into their safe rooms and 1950s-era bomb shelters, and shut the fuck up for a day? Because I could really get behind that.
[re=394274]DirtyHarriett[/re]: ‘National Day of Fearful Service’. Compromise
[re=394277]you cannot be serious[/re]: What do you mean? He’s the one that wrote it.
i am so afraid we’re going to lose our sacred day of fear, i am cowering under my ducky cover at this very instant
To real Republicans, every day is a day of fear. Like Christmas, they keep it in their hearts.
Obama could give all those fucktards on the left $1000 each and they would find some way to declare that it was a conspiracy to destroy the country and clog up the banking systems because he gave it to them in all one dollar bills.
Oh those REPUBLICANS, always trying to keep em’ dumb and scared! It would have worked too, if it wasn’t for that meddling black guy and his now-disenfranchised liberal army!
Kenyans have never given a shit about the melting point of steel. I have already resolved to observe 9/11 by STANDING UP AND SAYING THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, even though I hate statist idolatry.
* of zombies.
[re=394274]DirtyHarriett[/re]: How about a “National Day of Death Panels”?
KEEP TEH GUBMENT TO STAY OUT OF MY FEARCARE!!11! Also, not until Orly herself holds the foreskin of the illlegal alien marxist muslan in her hands will he be my president. Birth certificates can be forged, but the proof will reveal all. Also as well with.
Cant wait to hear Loonie Noonie’s take on this…how dare the Obamadministration steal NOT ONLY our sacred National Day of Fear, BUT ALSO A Thousand Points of Light…which was HERS dammit HERS!
[re=394280]V572625694[/re]: Ha ha … yeah… what the fuck did you just say?
Oh that’s just fucking great. Now, instead of drinking myself silly on 9/!! I’m going to have to get a gubmint-subsidized gay abortion. Fuckin’ libruls.
National Community Organizer’s Day?
Remember: Osama/Obama is the reason for the season!
I really do need a new mattress, so I’ll wait for the inevitable sale on 911. Thanks Wonkette for turning me on to another far right death porn site. I like the part where Michelle Malkin is trying to bum money. Obama isn’t trying to destroy Glen Beck, Glen is self destructing, before our very eyes.
Jeez, and here I was thinking that we Wonketterati had cynicism in a perpetual headlock. Thanks for nothing, Republitards.
Seriously. Fuck these bastards, preferably with a dildo dipped in propofol, Valium, and cayenne pepper.
Mr. Spectator: Quite aside from the fact you’re a twisted Montgomery Burns if you see a day of service to America as something negative and don’t think it’s coldly cynical (if accurate) to admit that the “day of fear” is good for Republicans: ha ha!
So what the fuck is the current meaning of 9/11 anyway? Is it “Scaaaaaary brown people want to kill you day” or is it “USA is number-fucking-ONE (yee-haw)!!! day”? Or maybe it’s “Vote for a Republican or GOD WILL STRIKE YOUR HEATHEN ASS DOWN day”. I seem to remember someone saying that a lot during the 2004 elections.
I’m so confused.
“When you criticize them, they are prepared to say, ‘Did you want 9/11 to be another day of selling mattresses, like Presidents Day?” the source said. “They are truly trying to change the American mindset.”
These people are actually serious? I mean, American Spectator isn’t a parody site?
The GOP invites us to pal around with terrorists and blow stuff up in honor of Fear Day.
Never mind the batshit wingnut article, check out the comments:
“For me, it’ll always be the day that gun-control caused it’s biggest single-day fatality figure in US history .. By stripping the constitutional rights of Americans at airports and aboard airplanes, there is blood on the hands of all of the gun-control nuts from 9/11/2001.”
“In the week following 9/11 I downloaded a video titled; ’9/11 America Attacked’ and I have been watching it every year on that date. It is beautifully done and very emotional.”
“So, basically, he’s turning Sept. 11 in to National Radical Negro Day. Hail Nero! Hail Caligula! Heil Hitler! This guy is gonna make REAL AMERICANS – (You heard me) – REAL AMERICANS, Americans who LOVE this country, rise up. You thought that there could never be another Revolution? This THING in the White House is TRYING to destroy this country. This is gonna get ugly. Mark My Words.”
[re=394279]Min[/re]: Ding ding ding ding ding.
[re=394315]Cicada[/re]: United we stand, remember?
Wait, is this a real thing? Is this from the same lady who wrote about Grandma Obama’s Voodoo Death Chickens?
Wow, they get better:
“So here’s my new pledge for every year on 9/11: I will REMEMBER the attacks that have been BURIED by the press conspirators”
Yeah, the media have really buried that whole World Trade Center story. What was the date again? I forget…
If one of the jobs available on the National Day of Service is ‘waterboarding a brown person’ will that keep those pant-wetters at the Spectator happy?
OK, last one, I promise:
“As, it happens, I voted for Ron Paul, back before it was cool… “
I always thought, that since firepeople and police officers (PC, eh?) were the heroes of 9/11, and you call 911 when you need them, that September 11 would be an awesome day for celebrating, you know, heroes and stuff. Nice weather for a vacation day, too. But I guess since fire and police departments are all socialist, and therefore secret Muslim Hitlers, that celebrating their so-called heroism would be tantamount to making Stalin and Darwin the new co-Presidents of the godless, hippy-infested, health-care ridden, abortion-strewn ruins of the Glorious Cheney Republic.
Pfft. Next thing you know, they’re going to build that Freedom Tower or something. How gay, naming it after France.
I hear, United will be giving complimentary flybys of the NYC skyline for every plane that leaves JFK.. as a service.
[re=394313]dementor[/re]: To be fair, it was the authour’s source with knowledge of a teleconference (in which the Socialist Garden day was discussed) that called it a “day of fear.”
That is Deep Throat caliber sourcing, by the way.
[re=394320]Hello Sunshine[/re]: its going to get ugly. It’s been fucking hideously ugly for 7 months.
And then there’s this gem:
“”The organizing term is to ‘go dark.’”
Racist!!!!!!!
Somebody should tell these fools that December 7 is going to become national “Check Out the New Camry” Day. Watch the fun.
[re=394320]Hello Sunshine[/re]: …for those of us living in NYC on that day, and still, I cannot imagine even wanting to watch a bloody video of the events of that day. Who the fuck are these people…oh I know they are the fat tracksuit wearing ,soda-guzzling idiots that stand in my way and look up at all the tall buildings when I am trying to walk in the city.
jeremias| 8.24.09 @ 7:57AM
Stop the mush mouth. Obama is Hitler. He enjoys killing and he wants to kill more. It’s that simple. Anything less is pulling punches. The dhimmicrats are traitors and weaklings. No other message can be uttered.
Jeez, Wonkette. Thanks for telling me about The American Spectator, that’s really brightened my morning. I feel like I need to go to Free Republic to get some liberal counterbalance now.
7:57AM? Scary people…
Oh, great! First they kill Christmas, now it’s a War On Fear.
[re=394336]freakishlystrong[/re]: Just wait until immigration reform comes up.
The formatting of your block quote is confusing me. Surely “day of fear” is your editorial comment on Republican politics, not their take on it, right? Right? Nobody’s that bald about how evil they are, are they?
Yes, because we all know (as the hapless, helpless Tom Ridge has just reminded us) that the true meaning and purpose of 9/11 is to “help Republicans” – as they’ve proven again and again.
I can’t help contrasting this whiny sentiment in “The Spectator” with all those Londoners who, after the Underground bombings, went around wearing t-shirts that read: “I am not afraid.”
Coincidentally, 9/11 will also mark the first day of the new fall semester at the re-education camps.
Round ‘em up!
[re=394343]Rodney Badger[/re]: How soon in to that will we get a cold “Nigger”, or “Wetback”? I’m betting 5-10 minutes in.
Now, the Spectator crew, like the Bush administration before, just wants the nation to continue to follow FDR’s famous advice; “The only thing we have to fear is – terrorists! Look at that dusky-skinned guy behind you; he’s probably a terrorist! He’s going to try to kill you!”
You can tell the American Spectator is old-timey ’cause of the c/t ligature. Did I say “old-timey”? I meant “out-of-touch and wearing poop-filled diapers”.
Btw, isn’t “Day of Fear” already a drained version of “Day of Terror”?
Just askin.
The trouble with Repugnicans is that they’re always pissed off, but they never get pissed off enough to have a heart attack and die. It’s so unfair.
It’s just part of the usual GOP crap- No money for birth control or comprehensive sex education and no abortions but no help for the babies born(well, if they are blond and blueyed- they will adopt them), to the poor- pull yourself up by your own bootstraps but give the superrich big tax breaks, and so on, and on.
[re=394349]One Yield Regular[/re]: Much as I liked the whole “I Am Not Afraid” thing (I think I still have the T-shirt somewhere), it wasn’t as good as the spoof “I Am Fucking Terrified” site that followed. NB: work blocks access to said site, so I don’t know if it’s still functioning…
The Obama White House is behind a cynical, coldly calculated political effort to… convert Sept. 11 into a day of… statist idolatry.
Um, as opposed to Bush’s star spangled day of fascist flag worship and total obedience to almighty America which does not at all qualify as statist idolatry?
That article and its comments are so misanthropic, stupid and depressing that I cannot even muster the energy to snark.
It will remain my day of giving hugs/feeling up NYC fire men, if that’s ok with you.
I’m celebrating National Day of Fear by flying to Las Vegas, getting shit-faced on free drinks, and then hopefully having random sex with a tall dark and handsome stranger. That’s how I celebrate being a REAL AMERICAN!!1!!1!
[re=394349]One Yield Regular[/re]: Remember, if you’re not terrified, the terrorists win! Oh, wait…
Go back to sleep, America. Go back to sleep.
President Hopey should balance this new day of national service for liberals, with a holiday that has appeal to real Americans, National Rendition Day. He could appoint John McCain as the honorary chairman.
This 9/11 will be celebrated like all the other ones since Jewlianni let the muslins crap on the NYC. I will put on my gayest ski mask and run around punching republicans in the junk.
Leeett theee eeaagle soooar.
[re=394330]friendlyskies[/re]: How about making the day of service a day of service at fire and police stations? You know, tidy up the joint, slap some fresh paint on the cells, wash the trucks, etc.? Oh, wait, that’s why we throw people into jail — to give the county a free labor force.
On that page there’s a large ad placed by right-wing publisher Ignatius Press advertising a book by Benedict XVI called “Charity in Truth.” I can’t imagine why they think any wingnut would be interested in such crap. Charity? Truth? Must be a communist.
Christ in a sidecar, Wonkette. What the fuck is that LINK? Were you aware the Malkin pops up asking for money? AGH! I nearly pissed myself. Fair warning next time, please.
[re=394364]Anonymous Office Zombie[/re]: “And if ya’ll make me remelected, I promise a huge ‘Murican flag for every SUV.”
Democrats — FDR, after December 7th, calls for national unity and service. JFK, at height of Cold War, “ask what you can do for your country.”
Republicans — G.W. Bush, after 9/11, gives the really rich a hugh tax cut and tells the rest of us slobs to go shopping.
so for the last eight years i supposed to be afraid on 9/11 and not drinking? oops.
“Statist idolatry”? Isn’t that why we stand and remove our hats when they play the Star Spangled Banner at ballgames?
[re=394300]Mr Blifil[/re]: What I meant by calling it an act of vandalism is that, if Bin Laden & his amigos intended to show us that representative democracy and freedom of religion and capitalism are bad, they failed. If they wanted us all to say, “You know, Mohammed Atta has a serious point here, and I think I’ll convert to Islam because he hijacked an airplane,” they failed.
So the real message was: “We’re poor and you’re rich, so we hate you! We lost the Ottoman Empire, so we hate you! So there!” Much like a baby left alone in its crib, mad because mommy isn’t there.
Let’s make this story even more confounding… The author, Matthew Vadum, is Canadian. No lie.
Emo eagle emotes badly.
[re=394425]Nizzles![/re]: At least he isn’t Belgian!
[re=394408]McDuff[/re]: We have nothing to fear but the day of fear itself.
I, for one, welcome our new statist idolator overlords.
[re=394342]bumfug[/re]: Next, they’ll be telling us the WalMart checkers have been ordered to say “Happy Service Day” instead of “Happy 9/11 Terror Fear Day”.
How can anyone snark something so truly idiotic?
Hang on, lemme read the above entries…
As a real American with Christian values, I plan to spend 9/11 cowering in the basement, thinking about terrorists while I masturbate with a gun barrel.
You know, this is why I loath volunteer fire departments. When they’re not putting out fires, for free, no less, they’re asking the townsfolk to organize fundraisers. Why do we even need terrorists?
On a bright, sunny early September day 9/11/2101, when the Freedom Tower is detonated to make way for the BnL Econospire, this is when the enmity between tards of all stripes will end.
9/11 will be thereafter called “World Shopping Day”…
Someone here please, for the love of Kermit the Frog, say you posted this there:
TheDuke| 8.24.09 @ 9:21PM
There at it again, this guys whole adminstration should be impeached trying to dediscrate that day of all days. How could this guy who hates America so much be doing this all now to those. Gun laws will be repelled, abortion will become mandadtory, and queers will be able to marry other queers you mark my word this is coming next.
“The president signed into law a measure in April that designated Sept. 11 as a National Day of Service, but it’s not likely many lawmakers thought this meant that day was going to be turned into a celebration of ethanol, carbon emission controls, and radical community organizing.”
Wait, doesn’t that last part describe NASCAR and tailgating? WHY DO THEY HATE DALE JR.?
[re=394320]Hello Sunshine[/re]: “For me, it’ll always be the day that gun-control caused it’s biggest single-day fatality figure in US history .. By stripping the constitutional rights of Americans at airports and aboard airplanes, there is blood on the hands of all of the gun-control nuts from 9/11/2001.”
Yes, because shooting a gun IN A PLANE is perfectly safe.
This makes me want to go out and buy a gun to protect myself against people with guns.
It’s the American way.
How about making it National Day for Buying Duct Tape? Cheney wannabes can wrap their houses with it to memorialize their fear (that old stuff must be following apart by now). Liberals can use it to build shelters for the sad hoboz. Tea-baggers can construct elaborate head protectors. The contestants on Project Runway can design duct tape ballgowns. The crazy Japanese guy on Iron Chef can make it Ingredient of the Day. Home Depot, Lowe’s, and Ace will get a Clunker-style boost. And Wonkette will get kool photos. EVERYBODY WINZ!!1! Am I a CNN hero yet?
Lennox Yearwood is Michael Steele’s rap name.
I said a hip hop, a hippity hop
to the rhythm of the boogity beat.
To celebrate my day of national service, I’m getting the oil changed, a new air filter and having the carpets cleaned. If this catches on, maybe Thanksgiving could become the National Day of Routine Computer Maintenance?
Oh lookie here, this wonderful patriot Matthew Vadum, who spewed forth this tinfoil-hat asshatery, has one of them bloggy things, with lot o’ edykated artikels and stuff, with comments: http://newsbusters.org/blogs/matthew-vadum
If we suggest celebrating our values on 9-11, the terrorists can has already won… right?
I’m hitting 72 virgins on 9/11 in tribute to the terrorists.
[re=394478]Grandpa Cornpants[/re]: Wasn’t me, good news though if I can’t get onto a Death Panel I can still try for the Mandatory Abortion Panel.
I wonder what the strategy is for the newly named, National Service Day, remmebrance or celebration? for 9/11. Perhaps it will be a kick off for the April bill that was signed by Obama for a rather large budget increase for the National Service Corps – those who sign up can recieve a stipend btwn $1000 – $5000. Given the economy, I can see people being desparate enough to voluntarily sign up, or there just might be another home grown terrosit attack – just in time – being that the MSM has been reporting homegrown lately as the real terrorist danger to Americans. Who knows…time will tell

August is International Compassion towards Terrorists Month
Barry will probably follow Scotland’s lead and let all the terrosists go – including the ones who master minded 911 – on compassionate grounds and then charge the CIA as terrorists and put them in jail and see how they like it.
After all, the Americans were so mean to these poor terrorists – they need to do more than just apologize to the world for America’s actions on just about everything – as Barry has already done. Its time to admit that America was too tough on terrorists that bombed the Trade Center on their own turf, killed American citizens, and it does not matter that America is still in their crosshairs – everybody just has to be nice (Kill em with kindness strategy) to each other and then these poor misdirected terrorists will feel bad and not be terrorists anymore – they will see the spanking given to the bad CIA boys and repent.
Barry wishing them all a happy Ramadan (August 21st- you tube) will certainly encourage radical muslims to love America and they will decide to take the Americans out of their crosshairs because America is so sorry for everything it has done and has now seen the light. Certainly, they will turn their weapons into plow shares. Group Hug Time Everyone! I get weepy just thinking about it.
[re=394929]on2u[/re]: Your wit and insight astound me. No really, WOW.
Let us not forget the TRUE LESSON of 9/11:
Some Americans are “real” Americans and some just hate America and should be killed. Yes! Thank you JEEEEEEEEEEESUS for showing me the way to redemption is to DIVIDE DIVIDE DIVIDE.
Fuck you.
[re=394929]on2u[/re]: Hey come back here I want to fart in your mouth some more.

Or, how many times can you post that before the banhammer falls?
Cicada – where’s the love? I thought we were all group hugging? We all know diplomacy works – just need to show a little understanding and love. Stick to the plan – once enemies – now frenemies – next friends. Simple.
Seriously folks – September 11th National Day of Service would be a great day to sign up for the National Service Corps and get that $1000 stipend and the group hug that goes with paid Community Service. I always wondered why community service is given to criminals – now I know – the group hug and unity unity unity experience completely cures them of criminality.

[re=394285]Gorillionaire[/re]: I was kinda surprised Bush went peacefully, with no fake terrorist event to use to delay elections a hundred years or something. Perhaps the thought of Cheney sh*tting bricks from fear of prosecution appealed the sadistic side of his nature more!
[re=394315]Cicada[/re]: It means Bin Laden correctly judged that a colorful attack on our vanity would set off a cycle of self-destructive behaviors which would destroy us. Or at least make us harmless to foreigners.Next stage: civil war between “liberals” and “conservatives.”

Twenty Minutes With The President
Reported by Charlie Sheen
Infowars Tuesday, September 8, 2009
CS – Close again sir, eleven days to be exact. Are you aware Mr. President how long it took to begin the investigation into 9/11?
PBO – I know it must have seemed like a very long time for all the grieving families.
CS – It was a very long time Mr. President – four hundred and forty days. Roughly 14 months. Does it bother you Mr. President that it only took FIVE HOURS for Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld after the initial attack to recommend and endorse a full scale offensive against Iraq?
PBO – I am not aware of any such purported claim.
CS – I have the proof Mr. President, along with scores of documents and facts I’d like you to take a look at. Here.
(I hand him another file – much thicker than the first)
PBO – I see you came prepared Charlie.
CS – No other way to show up Mr. President. When in doubt over prepare I always say.
PBO – Now you sound like the First Lady.
CS – That’s quite a compliment sir.
PBO – As you wish. Please continue.
CS – Sir, I’d like to direct your attention to the stack of documents in the folder I just handed you. The first in from the top is entitled “ Operation Northwoods“, a declassified Pentagon plan to stage terror attacks on US soil, to be blamed on Cuba as a pretext for war.
PBO – And I’d like to direct your attention to the fact that the principle draftsman of this improbable blueprint was quickly denied a second term as Joint Chiefs chairman and sent packing to a European NATO garrison. Thank God his otherworldly ambitions never saw the light of day.
CS – I wouldn’t be so certain about that Mr. President.
PBO – I could easily say the same to you Charlie.
CS – The next document reads “Declassified staged provocations.” Now, Honestly Mr.President I wish I was making this stuff up. I’m certain you are familiar with the USS Maine Incident, the sinking of the Lusitania, which we all now know brought us into WW1, and of course the most famous, the Gulf of Tonkin incident.
PBO – Of course I am familiar with these historical events and I’m aware that there’s a measure of controversy surrounding them. But to be quite frank with you, this is all ancient history.
CS – Mr. President, it has been often said; “Those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it.” And I concede to you sir, these events are the past.
PBO – A vastly different world young man, shouldering a radically disparate state of universal affairs.
CS – No argument sir, I’m merely inviting you to acknowledge some credibility to the pattern or the theme. Case in point; the next document in your folder. It was published by the think-tank, Project For a New American Century and it’s entitled “ Rebuilding Americas Defenses“, and was written by Dick Cheney and Jeb Bush. To quote from the document sir – (the President interrupts)
PBO – “Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor.”
CS – Touche, sir. Your thoughts on this statement Mr. President?
PBO – I would call this a blatant case of misjudgment fueled by an unfortunate milieu of assumption. For some, the uninformed denial of coincidence.
CS – Interesting angle sir. Nevertheless, Vice President Cheney didn’t stop there. In early 2008, Pulitzer prize winning journalist Seymour Hersh and MSNBC, both reported that Cheney had proposed to the Pentagon an outrageous plan to have the U.S. Navy create fake Iranian patrol boats, to be manned by Navy Seals, who would then stage an attack on US destroyers in the Strait of Hormuz. This event was to be blamed on Iran and used as a pretext for war. Does any of this information worry you Mr. President? Should we just ignore it, until these realities can be dismissed years from now by our children, as ancient history as well?
PBO – Of course this information worries me, yet it’s not nearly as worrisome as you sitting here today suspiciously implying that 9/11 was somehow allowed to happen or even orchestrated from the inside.
CS – Mr. President I am not suspiciously implying anything. I am merely exposing the documents and asking the questions that nobody in power will even look at or acknowledge. And as I stated earlier, I voted for you, I believed in your message of hope and change. Mr. President I have come to you specifically hoping for a change. A change in the perception that our government has not yet made itself open and accountable to the people. These are your words Mr. President not mine. The lives of thousands were brutally cut short and those left behind to suffer their infinite pain are with me today Mr. President. They are with me in spirit and flesh, and the message we carry will not be silenced anymore by media fueled mantras insisting how they are supposed to feel. Deciding for them, for 8 long years, what can be thought, what can be said, what can be asked.
PBO – And I appreciate your passion, I appreciate your conviction. In spite of your concerns, in spite of what your data might or might not reveal, what you and the families must understand and accept is that we are doing everything we can to protect you.
CS – Mr. President , I realize were very short on time, so please allow me to run down a list of bullet points that might illuminate some reasons why we don’t embrace the warm hug of Federal protection.
PBO – We’ve come this far. Fire away.
CS – Please keep in mind Mr. President everything I’m about to say is documented as fact and part of the public record. The information you are holding in your hands chronicles and verifies each and every point.
PBO – You have five minutes left. The floor is yours. Brief me.
CS – Thank you Mr. President. Okay, first; On the FBI’s most wanted list Osama Bin Laden is not charged with the crimes of 911. When I called the FBI to ask them why this was the case, they replied: “There’s not enough evidence to link Bin Laden to the crime scene,” I later discovered he had never even been indicted by the D.O.J.
CS – Number 2; FBI translator Sibel Edmonds, was dismissed and gagged by the D.O.J. after she revealed that the government had foreknowledge of plans to attack American cities using planes as bombs as early as April 2001. In July of ‘09, Mrs. Edmonds broke the Federal gag order and went public to reveal that Osama Bin Laden, Al Qaeda and the Taliban were all working for and with the C.I.A. up until the day of 9/11.
CS – Number 3; The following is a quote from Mayor Giuliani during an interview on 9/11 with Peter Jennings for ABC News. “I went down to the scene and we set up headquarters at 75 Barkley Street, which was right there with the Police Commissioner, the Fire Commissioner, the Head of Emergency Management, and we were operating out of there when we were told that the World Trade Center was going to collapse. And it did collapse before we could actually get out of the building, so we were trapped in the building for 10, 15 minutes, and finally found an exit and got out, walked north, and took a lot of people with us.”
WHO TOLD HIM THIS??? To this day, the answer to this question remains unanswered, completely ignored and emphatically DENIED by Mayor Giuliani on several public occasions.
CS – Number 4; In April 2004, USA Today reported, “In the two years before the Sept. 11 attacks, the North American Aerospace Defense Command conducted exercises simulating what the White House says was unimaginable at the time: hijacked airliners used as weapons to crash into targets and cause mass casualties.” One of the targets was the World Trade Center.
CS – Number 5; On September 12th 2007, CNN’s ‘Anderson Cooper 360′, reported that the mysterious “white plane” spotted and videotaped by multiple media outlets, flying in restricted airspace over the White House shortly before 10am on the morning of 9/11, was in fact the Air Force’s E-4B, a specially modified Boeing 747 with a communications pod behind the cockpit; otherwise known as “The Doomsday Plane”.
Though fully aware of the event, the 9/11 Commission did not deem the appearance of the military plane to be of any interest and did not include it in the final 9/11 Commission report.
CS – Number 6; Three F-16s assigned to Andrews Air Force Base, ten miles from Washington, DC, are conducting training exercises in North Carolina 207 miles away as the first plane crashes into the WTC. Even at significantly less than their top speed of 1500 mph, they could still have defended the skies over Washington well before 9am, more than 37 minutes before Flight 77 crashes into the Pentagon, however, they did not return until after 9:55am.
Andrews AFB had no armed fighters on alert and ready to take off on the morning of 9/11.
CS – Number 7; WTC Building 7. Watch the video of its collapse.
CS – Number 8; Flight 93 is fourth plane to crash on 9/11 at 10:03am. V.P. Cheney only gives shoot down order at 10:10-10:20am and this is not communicated to NORAD until 28 minutes after Flight 93 has crashed.
Fueling further suspicion on this front is the fact that three months before the attacks of 9/11, Dick Cheney usurped control of NORAD, and therefore he, and no one else on planet Earth, had the power to call for military sorties on the hijacked airliners on 9/11. He did not exercise that power. Three months after 9/11, he relinquished command of NORAD and returned it to military operation.
CS – Number 9; Scores of main stream news outlets reported that the F.B.I. conducted an investigation of at least FIVE of the 9/11 hijackers being trained at U.S. military flight schools. Those investigations are now sealed and need to be declassified.
CS – Number 10; In 2004, New York firefighters Mike Bellone and Nicholas DeMasi went public to say they had found the black boxes at the World Trade Center, but were told to keep their mouths shut by FBI agents. Nicholas DeMasi said that he escorted federal agents on an all-terrain vehicle in October 2001 and helped them locate the devices, a story backed up by rescue volunteer Mike Bellone.
As the Philadelphia Daily News reported at the time, “Their story raises the question of whether there was a some type of cover-up at Ground Zero.”
CS – Number 11 – Hundreds of eye witnesses including first responders, fire captains, news reporters, and police, all described multiple explosions in both towers before and during the collapse.
CS – Number 12; An astounding video uncovered from the archives shows BBC News correspondent Jane Standley reporting on the collapse of WTC Building 7 over twenty minutes before it fell at 5:20pm on the afternoon of 9/11. Tapes from earlier BBC broadcasts show news anchors discussing the collapse of WTC 7 a full 26 minutes in advance. The BBC at first claimed that their tapes from 9/11 had been “lost” before admitting that they made the “error” of reporting the collapse of WTC 7 before it happened without adequately explaining how they could have obtained advance knowledge of the event.
In addition, over an hour before the collapse of WTC 7, at 4:10pm, CNN’s Aaron Brown reported that the building “has either collapsed, or is collapsing.”
CS – Number 13; Solicitor General Ted Olson’s claim that his wife Barbara Olsen called him twice from Flight 77, describing hijackers with box cutters, was a central plank of the official 9/11 story.
However, the credibility of the story was completely undermined after Olsen kept changing his story about whether his wife used her cell phone or the airplane phone. The technology to enable cell phone calls from high-altitude airline flights was not created until 2004. American Airlines confirmed that Flight 77 was a Boeing 757 and that this plane did not have airplane phones on board.
According to the FBI, Barbara Olsen attempted to call her husband only once and the call failed to connect, therefore Olsen must have been lying when he claimed he had spoken to his wife from Flight 77.
CS – Number 14; The size of a Boeing 757 is approximately 125ft in width and yet images of the impact zone at the Pentagon supposedly caused by the crash merely show a hole no more than 16ft in diameter. The engines of the 757 would have punctured a hole bigger than this, never mind the whole plane. Images before the partial collapse of the impact zone show little real impact damage and a sparse debris field completely inconsistent with the crash of a large jetliner, especially when contrasted with other images showing airplane crashes into buildings.
CS – Number 15; What is the meaning behind the following quote attributed to Dick Cheney which came to light during the 9/11 Commission hearings? The passage is taken from testimony given by then Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta.
During the time that the airplane was coming in to the Pentagon, there was a young man who would come in and say to the Vice President, “The plane is 50 miles out.” “The plane is 30 miles out.” And when it got down to “the plane is 10 miles out,” the young man also said to the Vice President, “Do the orders still stand?” And the Vice President turned and whipped his neck around and said, “Of course the orders still stand. Have you heard anything to the contrary?”
As the plane was not shot down, in addition to the fact that armed fighter jets were nowhere near the plane and the Pentagon defensive system was not activated, are we to take it that the orders were to let the plane find its target?
CS – Number 16; In May 2003, the Miami Herald reported how the Bush administration was refusing to release a 900-page congressional report on 9/11 because it wanted to “avoid enshrining embarrassing details in the report,” particularly regarding pre-9/11 warnings as well as the fact that the hijackers were trained at U.S. flight schools.
CS – Number 17; Top Pentagon officials cancelled their scheduled flights for September 11th on September 10th. San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, following a security warning, cancelled a flight into New York that was scheduled for the morning of 9/11.
CS – Number 18; The technology to enable cell phone calls from high-altitude airline flights was not created until 2004, and even by that point it was only in the trial phase. Calls from cell phones which formed an integral part of the official government version of events were technologically impossible at the time.
CS – Number 19: On April 29, 2004, President Bush and V.P. Cheney would only meet with the commission under specific clandestine conditions. They insisted on testifying together and not under oath. They also demanded that their testimony be treated as a matter of “state secret.” To date, nothing they spoke of that day exists in the public domain.
CS – And finally Mr. President – Number 20; A few days after the attack, several newspapers as well as the FBI reported that a paper passport had been found in the ruins of the WTC. In August 2004, CNN reported that 9/11 hijacker Ziad Jarrah’s visa was found in the remains of Flight 93 which went down in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
At least a third of the WTC victim’s bodies were vaporized and many of the victims of the Pentagon incident were burned beyond recognition. And yet visas and paper passports which identify the perpetrators and back up the official version of events miraculously survive explosions and fires that we are told melted steel buildings.
(The Senior aide appears again beside the President whispering in his ear. He then quickly moves off).
PBO – Well Charlie I can’t say this hasn’t been interesting. As I said earlier you’ve showed up today focused and organized. Regardless how I feel about the material you’ve presented, I must commend your dedication and zeal. However, our time here is up.
(the President rises from his chair , I do the same).
CS – Mr. President! One more second!
(The President starts towards the door – I follow him quickly step for step).
CS – Mr. President, I implore you based on the evidence you now possess, to use your Executive Power. Prove to us all Sir, that you do, in fact, care. Create a truly comprehensive and open Congressional investigation of 9/11 and its aftermath. The families deserve the truth, the American people and the rest of the free world deserve the truth. Mr. President -
(He pauses. We shake hands).
CS – Make sure you’re on the right side of history.
(The President breaks the handshake).
PBO – I am on the right side of history. Thank you Charlie, my staff and I will be in touch.
(I watch as he strides gracefully out of the room, the truth I provided him held firmly by his side; in the hand of providence.)
CHARLIE SHEEN 20 MINUTES WITH THE PRESIDENT Sept.8,2009 infowars.com
Charlie Sheen – Good afternoon Mr. President, thank you so much for taking time out of your demanding schedule.
President Barack Obama – My pleasure, the content of your request seemed like something I should carve out a few minutes for.
CS – I should point out that I voted for you, as your promises of hope and change, transparency and accountability, as well as putting government back into the hands of the American people, struck an emotional chord in me that I hadn’t felt in quite some time, perhaps ever.
PBO – And I appreciate that Charlie. Big fan of the show, by the way.
CS – Sir, I can’t imagine when you might find the time to actually watch my show given the measure of what you inherited.
PBO – I have it Tivo’d on Air Force One. Nice break from the traveling press corps. (He glances at his watch) not to be abrupt or to rush you, but you have 19 minutes left.
CS – I’ll take that as an invitation to cut to the chase.
PBO – I’m all ears. Or so I’ve been told.
CS – Sir, in the very near future we will be experiencing our first 9/11 anniversary with you as Commander in Chief.
PBO – Yes. A very solemn day for our Nation. A day of reflection and yet a day of historical consciousness as well.
CS – Very much so sir, very much so indeed…. Now; In researching your position regarding the events of 9/11 and the subsequent investigation that followed, am I correct to understand that you fully support and endorse the findings of the commission report otherwise known as the ‘official story’?
PBO – Do I have any reason not to? Given that most of us are presumably in touch with similar evidence.
CS – I really wish that were the case, sir. Are you aware, Mr. President, of the recent stunning revelations that sixty percent of the 9/11 commissioners have publicly stated that the government agreed not to tell the truth about 9/11 and that the Pentagon was engaged in deliberate deception about their response to the attack?
PBO – I am aware of certain “in fighting” during the course of their very thorough and tireless investigative process.
CS – Mr. President, it’s hard to label this type of friction as “in fighting” or make the irresponsible leap to “thorough,” when the evidence I insist you examine regarding 6 of the 10 members are statements of fact.
(At this point one of Obama’s senior aides approaches the President and whispers into his ear. Obama glances quickly at his watch and nods as the aide resumes his post at the doorway, directly behind me.)
PBO – No disrespect Mr. Sheen, but I have to ask; what is it that you seem to be implying with the initial direction of this discussion?
CS – I am not implying anything Mr. President. I am here to present the facts and see what you plan to do with them.
PBO – Let me guess; your ‘facts,’ allegedly supporting these claims are in the folders you brought with you?
CS – Good guess Mr. President.
(I hand the first folder of documents to the President)
CS – Again sir, these are not my opinions or assumptions, this is all a matter of public record, reported through mainstream media, painstakingly fact checked and verified.
(the President glances into the folder I handed him)
CS – You’ll notice sir on page one of the dossier dated August of ‘06 from the Washington Post, the statements of John Farmer, senior council to the 9/11 commission, his quote stating, “I was shocked how different the truth was from the way it was described.”
PBO – (as he glances down at the report, almost inaudible) …. um hmm….
CS – He goes on to further state “The [NORAD Air Defense] tapes told a radically different story from what had been told to us and the public for two years….”
(the President continues to view the documents)
CS – On pages two and three, sir, are the statements, as well, from commission co-chairmen Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton, commissioners Bob Kerrey, Timothy Roemer and John Lehman, as well as the statements of commissioner Max Cleland, an ex-Senator from Georgia , who resigned, stating:
“It is a national scandal. This investigation is now compromised. One of these days we will have to get the full story because the 9/11 issue is so important to America. But this White House wants to cover it up.”
He also described President Bush’s desire to delay the process as not to damage the ‘04 re-election bid. They suspected deception to the point where they considered referring the matter to the Justice Department for criminal investigation. Mr. President, this information alone is unequivocally grounds for a new investigation!
PBO – Mistakes were clearly made but we as a people and as a country need to move forward. It is obviously in our best interest as a democratic society to focus our efforts and our resources on the future of this great nation and our ability to protect the American people and our allies from this type of terrorism in the coming years.
CS – Sir, how can we focus on the future when THE COMMISSION ITSELF is on record stating that they still do not know the truth??
PBO – Even if what you state, might in some capacity, begin to approach an open discussion or balanced debate, I can’t speak for, or about the decisions certain commission members made during an extremely difficult period. Perhaps you should be interviewing them instead of me. Wait, don’t tell me; I was easier to track down than they were?
CS – Not exactly sir, but let’s be honest. You’re the President of the United States, the leader of the free world, the buck stops with you. 9/11 has been the pretext for the systematic dismantling of our Constitution and Bill of Rights. Your administration is reading from the same playbook that the Bush administration foisted on America through documented secrecy and deception.
PBO – Mr. Sheen, I’m having a difficult time sitting here and listening to you draw distorted parallels between the Bush/Cheney regime and mine.
CS – Mr. President the parallels are not distorted just because you say they are. Let’s stick to the facts. You promised to abolish the Patriot Act and then voted to re-authorize it. You pledged to end warrantless wire tapping against the American people and now energetically defend it. You decried the practice of rendition and now continue it. You promised over and over again on the campaign trail, that you would end the practice of indefinite detention and instead, you have expanded it to permanent detention of “detainees” without trial. This far exceeds the outrages of the former administration. Call me crazy Mr. President, but is this not your record?
PBO – Mr. Sheen, my staff and I authorized this interview based on your request to discuss 9/11 and deliver some additional information you’re convinced I’d not previously reviewed. Call me crazy, But it appears as though you’ve blindly wandered off topic.
CS – Sir, the examples I just illustrated are a direct result of 9/11.
PBO – And I’m telling you that we must move forward, we must endure through these dangerous and politically challenging years ahead.
CS – Mr. President, we cannot move forward with a bottomless warren of unanswered questions surrounding that day and its aftermath.
PBO – I read the official report. Every word every page. Perhaps you should do the same.
CS – I have sir, and so have thousands of family members of the victims, and guess what; they have the same questions I do and probably a lot more. I didn’t lose a loved one on that horrific day Mr. President and neither did you. But since then I, along with millions of other Americans lost something we held true and dear for most of our lives in this great country of ours; we lost our hope.
PBO – And I’d like to believe that I am here to restore that hope. To restore confidence in your leaders, in the system that the voting public chose through a peaceful transfer of power.
(An odd moment of silence between us. Precious time ticking away).
CS – Mr. President, are you aware of the number of days it took to begin the investigation into JFK’s assassination?
PBO – If memory serves I believe it was two weeks.
CS – Close. Seventeen days to be exact. Are you aware sir, how long it took to begin the investigation into Pearl Harbor?
PBO – I would say again about….two weeks.
CS – Close again sir, eleven days to be exact. Are you aware Mr. President how long it took to begin the investigation into 9/11?
PBO – I know it must have seemed like a very long time for all the grieving families.
CS – It was a very long time Mr. President – four hundred and forty days. Roughly 14 months. Does it bother you Mr. President that it only took FIVE HOURS for Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld after the initial attack to recommend and endorse a full scale offensive against Iraq?
PBO – I am not aware of any such purported claim.
CS – I have the proof Mr. President, along with scores of documents and facts I’d like you to take a look at. Here.
(I hand him another file – much thicker than the first)
PBO – I see you came prepared Charlie.
CS – No other way to show up Mr. President. When in doubt over prepare I always say.
PBO – Now you sound like the First Lady.
CS – That’s quite a compliment sir.
PBO – As you wish. Please continue.
CS – Sir, I’d like to direct your attention to the stack of documents in the folder I just handed you. The first in from the top is entitled “ Operation Northwoods“, a declassified Pentagon plan to stage terror attacks on US soil, to be blamed on Cuba as a pretext for war.
PBO – And I’d like to direct your attention to the fact that the principle draftsman of this improbable blueprint was quickly denied a second term as Joint Chiefs chairman and sent packing to a European NATO garrison. Thank God his otherworldly ambitions never saw the light of day.
CS – I wouldn’t be so certain about that Mr. President.
PBO – I could easily say the same to you Charlie.
(the President checks his watch)

CS – The next document reads “Declassified staged provocations.” Now, Honestly Mr. President I wish I was making this stuff up. I’m certain you are familiar with the USS Maine Incident, the sinking of the Lusitania, which we all now know brought us into WW1, and of course the most famous, the Gulf of Tonkin incident.
PBO – Of course I am familiar with these historical events and I’m aware that there’s a measure of controversy surrounding them. But to be quite frank with you, this is all ancient history.
CS – Mr. President, it has been often said; “Those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it.” And I concede to you sir, these events are the past.
PBO – A vastly different world young man, shouldering a radically disparate state of universal affairs.
CS – No argument sir, I’m merely inviting you to acknowledge some credibility to the pattern or the theme. Case in point; the next document in your folder. It was published by the think-tank, Project For a New American Century and it’s entitled “ Rebuilding Americas Defenses“, and was written by Dick Cheney and Jeb Bush. To quote from the document sir – (the President interrupts)
PBO – “Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor.”
CS – Touche, sir. Your thoughts on this statement Mr. President?
PBO – I would call this a blatant case of misjudgment fueled by an unfortunate milieu of assumption. For some, the uninformed denial of coincidence.
CS – Interesting angle sir. Nevertheless, Vice President Cheney didn’t stop there. In early 2008, Pulitzer prize winning journalist Seymour Hersh and MSNBC, both reported that Cheney had proposed to the Pentagon an outrageous plan to have the U.S. Navy create fake Iranian patrol boats, to be manned by Navy Seals, who would then stage an attack on US destroyers in the Strait of Hormuz. This event was to be blamed on Iran and used as a pretext for war. Does any of this information worry you Mr. President? Should we just ignore it, until these realities can be dismissed years from now by our children, as ancient history as well?
PBO – Of course this information worries me, yet it’s not nearly as worrisome as you sitting here today suspiciously implying that 9/11 was somehow allowed to happen or even orchestrated from the inside.
CS – Mr. President I am not suspiciously implying anything. I am merely exposing the documents and asking the questions that nobody in power will even look at or acknowledge. And as I stated earlier, I voted for you, I believed in your message of hope and change. Mr. President I have come to you specifically hoping for a change. A change in the perception that our government has not yet made itself open and accountable to the people. These are your words Mr. President not mine. The lives of thousands were brutally cut short and those left behind to suffer their infinite pain are with me today Mr. President. They are with me in spirit and flesh, and the message we carry will not be silenced anymore by media fueled mantras insisting how they are supposed to feel. Deciding for them, for 8 long years, what can be thought, what can be said, what can be asked.
PBO – And I appreciate your passion, I appreciate your conviction. In spite of your concerns, in spite of what your data might or might not reveal, what you and the families must understand and accept is that we are doing everything we can to protect you.
CS – Mr. President , I realize were very short on time, so please allow me to run down a list of bullet points that might illuminate some reasons why we don’t embrace the warm hug of Federal protection.
PBO – We’ve come this far. Fire away.
CS – Please keep in mind Mr. President everything I’m about to say is documented as fact and part of the public record. The information you are holding in your hands chronicles and verifies each and every point.
PBO – You have five minutes left. The floor is yours. Brief me.
CS – Thank you Mr. President. Okay, first; On the FBI’s most wanted list Osama Bin Laden is not charged with the crimes of 911. When I called the FBI to ask them why this was the case, they replied: “There’s not enough evidence to link Bin Laden to the crime scene,” I later discovered he had never even been indicted by the D.O.J.
CS – Number 2; FBI translator Sibel Edmonds, was dismissed and gagged by the D.O.J. after she revealed that the government had foreknowledge of plans to attack American cities using planes as bombs as early as April 2001. In July of ‘09, Mrs. Edmonds broke the Federal gag order and went public to reveal that Osama Bin Laden, Al Qaeda and the Taliban were all working for and with the C.I.A. up until the day of 9/11.
CS – Number 3; The following is a quote from Mayor Giuliani during an interview on 9/11 with Peter Jennings for ABC News. “I went down to the scene and we set up headquarters at 75 Barkley Street, which was right there with the Police Commissioner, the Fire Commissioner, the Head of Emergency Management, and we were operating out of there when we were told that the World Trade Center was going to collapse. And it did collapse before we could actually get out of the building, so we were trapped in the building for 10, 15 minutes, and finally found an exit and got out, walked north, and took a lot of people with us.”
WHO TOLD HIM THIS??? To this day, the answer to this question remains unanswered, completely ignored and emphatically DENIED by Mayor Giuliani on several public occasions.
CS – Number 4; In April 2004, USA Today reported, “In the two years before the Sept. 11 attacks, the North American Aerospace Defense Command conducted exercises simulating what the White House says was unimaginable at the time: hijacked airliners used as weapons to crash into targets and cause mass casualties.” One of the targets was the World Trade Center.
