9/11 and the Pastness of the Past URL to article: http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/911-and-the-pastness-of-the-past/ A couple of months ago, when Howard Stern took a couple of weeks off from his morning radio show, Sirius radio replayed “The History of Howard Stern, Part Four,” the final installment of which consists mostly of generous excerpts from the Stern show for […]
Thoughts on the Tenth Anniversary of 9/11 Posted By David Solway

As should be evident to anyone who is not in denial and is willing to credit the evidence mounting by the day, the West is now under siege. Paradoxically, it appears to be increasingly at the mercy not only of radical Islam, but of its own anomie and its blatant philistinism. Indeed the former preys relentlessly upon the latter as it does upon the ineluctable corollary of cultural weakness, the presumably tolerant and progressive ethos of so-called “liberal” thinking. “Something stirs in the East, a sleepless malice” says one of the characters in The Lord of the Rings [1]. What stirs in the West, however, is a growing tendency to fall asleep, a kind of spiritual encephalitis generating an epidemic of lethargy before reality and accompanied by various spastic maneuvers intended to disguise the truth.

Page Printed from: http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/../2011/09/obama_and_our_911_trauma.html Where did the idea of Obama come from? Let’s examine an obvious, yet overlooked source: the rubble of the Twin Towers. 9/11 was the most traumatic day in American history, and its horrors left deep gashes in our national soul. We stumbled around in pain and confusion for years, groping for […]

“F*cking Jew” Abuse At Max Brenner Protest In Newtown, New South Wales
Below is footage of the mob of Israel-demonising leftwing ratbags who marched on Max Brenner in Newtown yesterday. Update: and I’ve added a counter-demo too (hat tip Shirlee)
In its report of a demo against the same shop last month, the Australian Jewish News quoted one Jewish community member as saying:
“They blocked the footpath. I felt I was under personal attack.”
She described their behaviour as “aggressive and impassioned”, and some of their words as “absolutely horrifying”.

Since 9/11 we have done quite a good job in scaling down the risk in the ‘West’. Soft policies of inclusiveness/diversity have a role. They show a willingness to talk, within civilised limits. So does killing our enemies. That shows a refusal to be defeated.
I returned to the Embassy in Belgrade to be told to watch on TV what was happening in New York.I did. The Twin Towers crashed.
My thought then is still valid:
This level of Islamist madness is quite different. It can’t be defeated by normal means. Only moderate Muslims can do it, if they have the courage. And what will they demand from us as the price for sorting out their own lunatics..?

That day as most of you remember was a magnificent fall day, New York that morning could not be more beautiful. I started the day walking Justice, my cock-a-poo, and spending a couple of minutes […]

Like a ship pulling away from shore, time brings distance to all events. No pain is as fresh ten or twenty years later as on the day it happened. The shock of the impossible becomes the new normal and then it becomes more background noise.
“A single death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic,” said Joseph Stalin. This is something that the statisticians in Berlin, Moscow, Tehran and Riyadh know quite well when they count up their numbers. But compound death is not a statistic, it is incomprehensible. The banality of the media coverage of September 11 reveals the struggle of grappling with a story too big to tell that can only be broken down into human fragments of personal stories.
