MOSQUES ON 9/11 SITES HONOR MUSLIM TERRORISTS

911 Hero's Family Member: "Ground zero mosque is the SECOND mosque being built on a 9/11 site"

Regular Atlas readers are familiar with the vile shrine being built at the site of the crash of the 911 flight 93. That flight went down when a group of heroic Americans saved the Capitol and/or White House from Muslim terrorists after the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were attacked and destroyed.

Please read the following plea from the father of Thomas Burnett. Thomas was the ringleader of the small group of courageous men who fought back against the Muslim terrorists on United Flight 93 on September 11, 2001, that crashed in the fields in Pennsylvania. He made four now-famous cell phone calls to his wife from the plane, making a quick assessment of the Muslims' suicidal flight plan, and made a decision to "do something." He gave his life to ensure that the plane would not reach its intended destination in Washington.

This was the email from Thomas Burnett's father after I told him in no uncertain terms that I would be honored to post his letter:

Dear Pamela Thank you for posting my letter on your blogs. We thank you for speaking out against the planned mosque in New York. We too need your help; we need to stop the National Park Service building another mosque in Shanksville. PA. I served on the 2005 2nd jury that was commissioned to select a design honoring the passengers and crew on Flight 93. The public submitted over 1100 designs. The first jury went through those 1100 designs and selected 5 designs that were presented to the 2nd jury. When I saw Crescent of Embrace, I immediately saw the Islamic symbols. I spoke out against the design and explained my reasons to the other members of the jury. The vote was taken, 9 for the Crescent of Embrace and 6 against that design. That vote was not unanimous. There were 4 excellent designs left; there was absolutely no reason to select a design that even suggested Islamic symbols. I knew that the public would agree with me when they saw the Crescent of Embrace design. They did, but our government would not listen or investigate our claims. All of our letters ended up in the same hands, the National Park Service. We can't give up; we must stop this mosque being built in Shanksville, as well as the one in New York. Thank you for helping us. Warmly, Tom Burnett Sr. ================================================================ Ground zero mosque is the SECOND mosque being built on a 9/11 site To our fellow 9/11 families and to all who are concerned about the Ground Zero mega-mosque in New York: We want everyone to know that the Park Service is right now building an even larger Islamic victory mosque atop the Flight 93 crash site. Many of you were outraged in 2005 when the Crescent of Embrace design was unveiled to be a half-mile wide Islamic shaped crescent: Left: 2005 publicity shot of the Crescent of Embrace design. Right: typical Islamic crescent and star, viewed from a similar angle. Few people know that this giant crescent actually points to Mecca, or understand the religious significance of this orientation. A crescent that points the direction to Mecca is a very familiar construct in the Islamic world. Because Muslims face Mecca for prayer, every mosque is built around a Mecca direction indicator called a mihrab. The classic mihrab is crescent shaped. Here are the two most famous mihrabs in the world:   Left: the Mihrab of the Prophet, at the Prophet's mosque in Medina. Right: the mihrab of the Great Mosque in Cordoba Spain. Face into the crescent to face Mecca As with the Medina and Cordoba mihrabs, a person facing into the Crescent of Embrace will be facing Mecca. In the image below, superimposed red lines show the orientation of the Flight 93 crescent. The green qibla circle is from an nline Mecca-direction calculator: A person standing between the tips of the crescent and facing into the center of the crescent (red arrow) will be facing almost exactly in "qibla" direction (the Muslim prayer direction). You can verify the qibla direction from Somerset PA using any number of on-line Mecca-direction calculators. To be precise, the Crescent of Embrace points 1.8° north of Mecca, ± a tenth of a degree. The final construction drawings alter this orientation slightly, so that instead of pointing a little less than two degrees north of Mecca, the actual crescent will point less than three degrees south of Mecca. Such small deviations from Mecca are insignificant by Islamic standards, which developed over a period of more than a thousand years during which far flung Muslims had no accurate way to determine the direction to Mecca. The Park Service does not call the Crescent of Embrace a crescent anymore. Now they call it Circle of Embrace, but the only actual change was to add an extra arc of trees (planted to the rear of a person facing into the giant crescent) that explicitly represents a broken off part of the circle. The unbroken part of the circle, what symbolically remains standing in the wake of 9/11, is just the original Crescent of Embrace. It is still a giant Islamic shaped crescent, still pointing at Mecca. This is the Park Service's official explanation for the design: the terrorist attacks are depicted as smashing our peaceful circle and turning it into a giant crescent. A clearer depiction of Islamic victory is hard to imagine, so no one should be too surprised that the damned thing points to Mecca, and actually turns out to be a mosque.

#health #children Child Died from Brain-Eating #Amoeba After Swimming | How to Prevent Future Deaths

Between 1995 to 2004, 23 have died of this amoeba infection in Southern America. Death can come swiftly within 100 hours. CNN reports that the amoeba infection is hard to prevent. Whereas http://www.igorilla.com/gorilla/animal/amoeba_infects.html says the amoeba can be easily killed via chlorine. I doubt iGorilla’s report. This kind of brain-eating amoeba - known as Naegleria Fowleri - is usually found in warm water that does not move 24 hours a day, seven days a week (unlike a running river). Pool water with chemicals do not kill some of the world’s very stubborn parasites. (Even mosquitoe larvaes have found ways to survive in swimming pools laden with chemicals, as they stick to the walls of pools near surface of water.) I don’t think boiling water helps cos after water has cooled, a parasite can always infect cooled down boiled water. Parasites (and the more hardy virus) usually do not stand a chance if water that’s ALWAYS running. (One of my earliest posts on here is about what the Dead Zone teaches us about oxygen’s relation to killing of pathogens, because the Dead Zone has close to ZERO percentage oxygen.) Time to insist public pools AND spas, use oxygenators and powerful oxidizers to kill these brain-eating amoeba and other parasites! Many of these machines are anti-viral, anti-yeast/fungus and anti-amoeba. Ask Birdynumnumz on Twitter. (Nope, he does not pay me for referral of sales. I know he has great info on this topic.) Another thing that can help is to keep the water way below the temperature that amoeba can survive in (swimming in cold water?) Do you know…arthritis can be caused by amoeba too? Shocking, isn’t it? == Treating those infected with the Amoeba == Amphotericin B cured 5 out of 10 mice infected wuth Amoeba http://bit.ly/bF5zL2 Could such an infection be cured without drugs? Any experts here? In my opinion, this child’s death could have been prevented. Should the pool management even be liable? When in doubt, avoid swimming in any water that is “too still” or stagnant. “Amoebas reproduce by binary fission. The life cycle from birth to reproduction takes between 45 and 100 hours, depending on diet. When an amoeba enters a hostile environment, it can form itself into a ball and secrete a protective membrane to form a cyst. The amoeba then stays in this armor until external conditions improve. If the amoeba remains in cyst form for too long, it may die, but this strategy can help it get by hard times and live to see another day. The strategy is similar to that of hibernation. - http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-an-amoeba.htm“ Related Info Why Chlorine is bad…even in a Mouth Rise (Gargle) http://www.wynman.com/chlorine.html How Flouride got its SAFE status despite its dangers http://bit.ly/bVbDQn Aquasana water-filter is good but its customer service in Singapore sucks big time http://bit.ly/agbmmJ Ozone can kill bacteria in water 5,000 times more than chlorine.

7-year-old Kyle Lewis died last month after contracting a parasitic amoeba while swimming on a camping trip in Texas, reports KTLA. Doctors said Kyle contracted an infection from Naegleria fowleri, an amoeba that thrives in warm, stagnant water. He died within four days of contracting the rare infection. Kyle’s father says he was a happy and active child until he fell ill after the fateful camping trip. Now, Kyle is dead and his father wants his son’s death to be a lesson to other parents.

Who will define ground zero? 9 years after 9/11, tug of war over 'sacred ground' grows heated

Ground zero.

Depending on whom you talk to, it's a scar on this city where horror still lingers, a bustling hive symbolizing the resilience of a nation, or simply, for those who live and work nearby, a place where life goes on.

In recent weeks, as debate has raged over the placement of a planned Islamic cultural center and mosque a couple of blocks from the construction, Americans have been reminded of just how many people lay claim to this place, the focal point for all those who have a stake in the legacy of Sept. 11.

Gesturing at the land he helped clear in the weeks after 9/11, Louis Pabon believes he knows who owns it: "This is mine."

Take a walk around ground zero, and you can get lost in the throngs. Among the tourist crowds at St. Paul's, a block away, a woman sipping a strawberry smoothie walks past an altar covered with photos of the dead. Outside, beneath cranes that glint red in the sun, construction workers cluster. A woman in a business suit and white sneakers speeds down the sidewalk. Burger King is full, and at Century 21 department store, across from the construction, polo shirts are 85 percent off.

This place was once a giant plaza filled with businesspeople and tourists and shoppers and commuters rushing to the subway. Then, on one sunny September Tuesday in 2001, it became suddenly a place of history and loss. Within 24 hours, someone had dubbed it ground zero, and it was never the same.

After 9/11, there were weeks, and months, of coming to grips. Everyone had lost something. A child. An acquaintance. A skyline. A sense of safety. A center of business. A solid stock portfolio. A feeling that we knew where everything was heading.

Before the week was out, the pastor at St. Paul's began calling the site of the devastation "sacred ground." On Sept. 20, Katie Couric told TV viewers it "should be hallowed." For the family members of more than 1,100 of the victims whose remains were never recovered, it is the only gravesite they have.

"This pit of evil and doom," Sally Regenhard calls it now, her voice shaking nine years after the death here of her firefighter son, Christian.

"My son's beautiful remains are forever scattered," she says. "Ground zero is a burial ground."

Now, most everyone is staking out a position on the planned Islamic cultural center, to include a mosque, auditorium and other facilities about two blocks from the construction barriers. Some say the location should be moved out of sensitivity, because the Sept. 11 hijackers claimed to act in the name of Islam. Others say that moving the mosque would be bowing to intolerance and curtailing religious freedom.

Through all of this conflict, ground zero has been shuttered. Few have walked on its soil, except for the workers who cleared the site and those who are rebuilding it. Family members and others invited to the yearly memorial ceremonies have been allowed in, as was the pope on his 2008 pilgrimage.

With so few allowed in, everyone who journeyed to this untouchable space could make of it what they would. So what happens after the planned memorial opening on Sept. 11, 2011 — when the public is allowed inside the walled-off space?

The memorial was always intended to become a vibrant space again — to "be stitched back into the grid of lower Manhattan," says professor James E. Young, a member of the panel that selected the memorial design.

Freedom Tower, the site's signature skyscraper, rising a symbolic 1,776 feet, was renamed One World Trade Center, thought a better draw for corporate tenants. Even the ethereal design imagined by architect Daniel Libeskind came back to earth, restrained by the boundaries of physics and financing.

The plan for the memorial pools set in the footprints of the towers, though, remains. Read more at www.foxnews.com

Scott Olson/Getty Images A fence separates the cities of Nogales, Arizona and Nogales, Sonora Mexico, a frequent crossing point for people entering the United States illegally.

The women already are in labour when they tumble over the tall metal fence and stumble into the most forgiving nation on Earth.

“I slipped and fell,” they lie to the officers of the Border Patrol, who then are required to escort them — indigent, prepartum and paperless, but endowed by the U.S. Constitution with the inalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of free medical care — to the Carondelet Holy Cross Hospital in Nogales, Ariz., just off Interstate 19, the highway that bolts from the bottomless desperation of Mexico into the sunlight of the American republic.

When this happens, about once or twice a week, Marco Saucedo is summoned to perform the delivery. The obstetrician is a third-generation American of Mexican descent, one of 11 children of a copper miner from the dry Arizona hills. His clinic is Ground Zero in the battle over Arizona’s “anchor babies.”

“Anchor babies” are the fortunate foundlings who become U.S. citizens the instant their soft little skulls clear the birth canal.

What I do not expect is to encounter a man of medicine who wishes the fence were too high to scale. In his disdain for the lifelong, irrevocable privileges accorded these automatic Americans, he is in agreement with most of his fellow Arizonans.

“The women come in at 30 to 39 weeks,” he says as we chat in his examination room, which looks upon the colourfully painted hillside houses of Nogales, Sonora, and the rusted scar that divides the sister cities.

“They’re already contracting, but they’re only dilated about three centimetres. So they’re not going to give birth right away.

“These mothers are totally illegal. If they’ve ever even applied to immigrate, they’re way back on the waiting list. So they pay some coyote, or somebody helps them put a ladder against the fence, and when the Border Patrol picks them up they say that they’re injured.”

“The idea of an anchor baby — that you can just come here and automatically have citizenship for your baby, for the functionality and longevity of our country — this is just impossibly wrong,” he adds.

“I think it would be nice if we could not give that baby citizenship, and tell the mother to go back to Mexico and apply like everybody else.”

“I’m an American,” Dr. Saucedo resumes. “I pay taxes. I see this absolute abuse of the system, and I know the ways it could be fixed.

“You can’t have a social program state where you expect the taxpayer to pay for everything and for everyone else to get everything for free. Having an entitlement mentality is going to be the death of this country.”

“Nobody sees the full cost of the illegal babies,” he says. “If it’s a regular delivery, that’s about $10,000, for me, for the anesthetist, for the hospital. But if there are complications and the baby has to be taken to intensive care in Tucson or Phoenix, that’s [as much as] $300,000 easily. And the mothers pay nothing.”

“What do you think about the President’s position on immigration?” I add.

“He needs to be impeached and arrested,” says the obstetrician.

The 14th Amendment, ratified in 1868, states: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States.”

The key word here is “jurisdiction.” Does that refer only to persons who legally immigrated and filed the proper paperwork, and to children born in the U.S.whose parents came here legally? Read more at www.nationalpost.com

mahboud September 3, 2010 at 3:24 pm The problem really is the 140 character limit. Being able to tweet an entire URL, and for people to see where they will be redirected, is a great safety feature. The ability of you and others to know whether your followers followed your link to the NY Times or Gizmodo, etc., is not of utmost importance. You could point to a link onto your site, where you summarize and link off, and if I know your site, and trust it, then I would have no issues clicking it. If I see a shortened URL, then I have to wonder where it will take me and whether I should trust you and trust that you haven’t been hacked etc. I think it is stupid, that in 2010, we still have to live with limitations of pagers from the 1980s. Why 140 characters? The phone carriers make tons of money off of SMS. Why not give them a reason to go to 300 characters? Or 500? And since presumably, Twitter knows when they are pushing a Tweet out for SMS vs client or web consumption, why they don’t handle splitting over multiple SMSs, instead of dumbing down the entire experience? I know some people think it is cute that everyone has to make their tweets fit and it’s a fun challenge up there with Haiku and one-line shell scripts, but then we don’t limit our monitors to only support the bit depth of our cellphones, or limit our keyboards to have 12 buttons. The insanity of the situation is clearly visible when someone retweets another person’s tweet, and the addition of the Twitter id forces truncation of the original, and any URL contained at the end. If you’re going to start a movement, start one to remove the silly 140 character limit.

Update 2: t.co URL wrapping

In the coming weeks, we will be expanding the roll-out of our link wrapping service t.co, which wraps links in Tweets with a new, simplified link. Wrapped links are displayed in a way that is easier to read, with the actual domain and part of the URL showing, so that you know what you are clicking on. When you click on a wrapped link, your request will pass through the Twitter service to check if the destination site is known to contain malware, and we then will forward you on to the destination URL. All of that should happen in an instant.

You will start seeing these links on certain accounts that have opted-in to the service; we expect to roll this out to all users by the end of the year. When this happens, all links shared on Twitter.com or third-party apps will be wrapped with a t.co URL.

So, what Twitter is telling us is that EVERY URL sent will be shortened to use THEIR service. Not only does this screw other shortners like Bit.ly, it completely screws individual users – like YOU and ME!

Twitter is effectively telling us all that they don’t care if we want to use our own link shorteners, they are going to FORCE us to use T.CO. Even though I’ve never heard a single person complain about the status quo. And I can’t believe they even had the balls to tell us this is for our own protection. They are going to scan the links for malware? WOW! That is the biggest load of crap I’ve ever heard. They really expected us to buy that?

Consequences

You know that giant Twitter Fail Whale that we constantly get when Twitter is over capacity? Well, guess what. When they are over capacity your links are not going to work. Just imagine, Twitter will be responsible for routing every single URL ever posted. There is no way that is going to work.

Oh, and did I forget to mention? After they inject themselves into the middle of every single URL posted on Twitter they can do anything they want to with those redirects. They can decide after a certain period of time to redirect them to their own site, or an advertiser… they can start injecting pop up ads in front of every user who clicks a link… and God knows what else they are planning.
