| The Black Day |
| 2004-01-29 |
| With regard to the note yesterday about a 9/11 website, the first one I saw after 9/11 is still (IMHO) the best: The Black Day. It has a certain raw power and still chokes me up. Fred, feel free to delete if you want -- just thought given yesterday’s comments that I’d put this in. |

| #10 I sent this link to somebody and they claimed it had a "Trojan" virus. I run linux and mozilla so I wouldn't normally be affected by virus or trojan traps so I wouldn't notice. To test I cleared up my cache and ran a sniffer (ethereal) on my gateway before access: I looked at the results by hand and I saw only a link to sitestats.com that tried to load a java script from db2.sitestats.com named "2955.js". There was no java script at sitestats.com named that so it returned a 404 Not found. If this is the trojan request then you are likely safe to access this site, as sitestats.com doesn't have the script. Perhaps, the javascript request is a relic of some infection on the creator's web page creation software. If that isn't it then it and the infection does exist then it is very complex and could take a long time to make sense of. Could the author please check for infection? If the author wants I can send a transaction log somewhere with my ips edited out. |

| #9 I saw the "Here Is New York" 9/11 photo exhibition in Houston and was grabbed by one photo of the north tower. In the spot where the first plane went in, there is a woman with red/brown hair, dark top and light pants, perched at the very edge of the hole made by the impact, looking out. I often wondered what happened to her. The second photo in the "Black Day" site answers my question. The photo I saw in Houston is #5088 at the site: http://hereisnewyork.org/gallery/thumb.asp?CategoryID=3&picnum=13 We must never forget. |

| #8 I knew a guy that died in the Pentagon impact zone. He watched out for me during my plebe year at the academy. Rantburg helps me remain mindful of his tragic death and those of the other victims. |

| #7 The scary thing is, the left just blame Bush for 9/11. If/when we have another major attack, they will blame Bush again. Interesting paradox: Arabs blame Jews, left blames Bush for every problem. Everyone is a victim. |

| #6 It isn't just the press but the left in general who are holding their hands over their ears, eyes, and mouths and/or using it for their own political gain. |

| #4 I had the misfortune to see this in person. I'll never get over it. I'm reminded of how its a very good thing for the Arab world that I'm not in charge. |

| #3 Depends,Chedder.If there were only"the little people"at work at the time,then the big media moguls would have done the same.Look at what they have done concerning people like Daniel Pearl,as far as I can see all they have done is say"Pooh,pooh.How terrible,shame on you." If it had been me,I would have given the governments in charge of the investigations 1 year to catch the killers,if no results after a year there would have been a million $ bounty for the the heads of each and every one of the animals. |

| #2 I sometimes wonder what the press's reaction would of been if the headquarters of NBC, ABC and/or CBS had been in Towers One or Two |

| #1 Its good to remind ourselves what happened. Especially since the "popular press" refuses to show the "jumper photos". "They are too controversial" (meaning they remind people that we should be angry, and at whom we should direct our anger). Its as if, like a 3 year old covering his eyes, they think they can make history go away if they ignore it long enough: they dont like it because it makes people rise in righteous anger at the evil behind such things. And the liberal powers in the press don't like having it demonstrated that there *is* true evil in the world: it forces them to realize there is a moral dimension and that their relativism is wrong in the stark face of objective reality. Furthermore, they still want to deny that if you don't go hunt the wolves, they will eventually be at I still think the amoral relativistic anti-militaristic anti-americanism liberalism on display these days (on the left) should be diagnosed as a form of schizophrenia - a psychosis where you build facades against facing facts in the real world, to the detriment of yourself and others whom you delude into accepting the same falsehoods. For example, Look at the mental contortions the poor souls at Indymedia put themselves into just to avoid confronting reality that contradicts their deeply held beliefs. |
