    Although a memorial is nice, the Gov't has no right to seize the land. When will we stand up to this crap


  2. Crash2Parties

    ...is it just me or is there no story or link, just a headline?


  3. Throco

    Wow. Another "Freedom" memorial built on stolen land.

    What is with the victims families? Why is it so important for them to have a memorial where their loved ones died? So important that they have to steal land from rightful owners?

    When I die, I hope my friends will celebrate my life, not the specific spot where I stopped breathing.


  4. Thinkbolt

    ^^Crash2Parties, it's not just you. I don't know what I'm looking at, either...


  5. bobshin

    Someone died on that site? Really? So what happened to the plane- it vaporized?


  6. wake up

    Make sure the memorial states that the plane was shot down and most of the REAL debris was found miles away from the shanksville "crash site".


  7. Why would anybody forcibly take a citizens land to memorialize a conspiracy that so clearly involves themselves?

    Perhaps it's in haste to sweep the April 3rd 2009 two year peer reviewed scientific study - entitled: "Active Thermitic Material Discovered in Dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe". http://www.bentham-open.org/pages/content.php?TOCPJ/2009/00000002/00000001/7TOCPJ.SGM

    The study finds solid evidence of highly engineered nano thermite - unreacted and waiting to be ignited, within various dust samples of New York's 911 event locations. Download and open the 27 page study, then actually read it.

    The findings are sobering and directly refute the entire sequence and story lines of the day. No Boeing 757 pile-drove itself into the earth and would have ever looked as was shown - a tiny and neat debris-free hole... So why are the AP and the Government trying so hard to memorialize the faked crash scene?

    Because their lies are falling apart faster with each day the real truth is being seen, read and talked about openly around the entire globe. Even a former Vice President has now openly asked for a new investigation (patriotsquestion911.com)

    The closer we come to discovering the truth of what really went down that day, the harder they try to keep us from knowing... Think about Trillions of invented dollars taken from generation of unborn, world-wide pandemic fears over lab-made flu, heavy handed police-state intimidation, arresting journalists, not prosecuting war criminals, federalizing local business owners etc...

    Time to Investigate - now more than ever. Unless you have something to hide...


  8. Fogy

    If the land is condemned, what are they putting a park on it for? Eminent domain is not for the purpose of feel-good memorializing. Stealing land from free citizens for a park is not for the greater good. Stick a statue on the site and call it a day.


  9. Don

    People died on this spot,but why do we need to spend $58 million dollars on this thing and take peoples prop. from them.I know that on the other hand these people were being outragous in the valuation of their land.But face it people,all these memorials are adding glory to these radical terriots so their children can come to these spots and say my uncle or dad did that.


  10. whatever

    Right on Freeman! I heard about the thermite as well. This stinks to high heaven! We need to take our government back and arrest the criminals!


  11. H

    We have a tendency in this country to over-memorialize everything. The park service needs to back down and pay some respect to the living for a change.


  12. Satan

    Neato, a fucking memorial. Because we as a nation murdered twice that number of civilians a day or two ago in Afghanistan using our own air power, perhaps we can build a $58 million fucking dollar memorial to them too. After all there was twice as many (44 onboard flt 93) murdered. If we spent $1.3 million dollars per civilian that we murdered in actions that could only be deemed as pure cowardice, we'd be spending over 100 trillion dollars.


  13. Edward

    Mulder to Scully: "Maybe they're trying to hide something." That amount of acreage is almost four square miles. Air to air debris?


  14. Patriot

    Geez, I share a country with a bunch of overbearing mothers. So they want to "honnor" hero-ism by throwing Americans off of their land. This is the kind of crap you end up with when you put a bunch of soccer moms in charge of a commitee. Does anyone repect freedom anymore, or is it just an excuse to take away real freedoms. You can not take away someone's property , errect your shrine of guilt, and call yourself an American. You want to honnor them, investigate the crash. To date, no one has. All A/C debri is lock up in a mountain. Does that matter to you?? Does it matter at all?? Instead you dishonnor them by covering up The Lie with a park.


  15. josh

    Great story- just a headline with no link or article.


  16. Dionysis

    It's just a costly (to taxpayers) diversion from having to actually dig into the government conspiracy. Lots of hoopla, appeals to heroism and patriotism...don't look behind the curtain.
    And I agree with others that to appropriate private property for this purpose is abuse of government authority (but aren't we all getting used to government abuse?).
    Bread and circuses.


  17. gr8fuldaniel

    Flight 93 Landed Safely.

    Google it!

    Lots of anomallies for that flight.

    No plane at Skanksville site.

    Seats and luggage in an 8 mile debris field, but no bodies.

    None at crash site either.


  18. tim

    why dont we use that money to catch osama bin laden? i think we need to spend more time and effort figuring out what happened on that day rather than exploiting it for political purposes and trampling on the rights of citizens. and really- is a national park necessary? just build a monument on the site or some place near by. it really does seem odd that they want to seize soo much land all around.


  19. Tom Woolf

    The story (and not just the headlines) shows up fine under IE. That is a darn shame. Hope Raw gets their stuff fixed so that it will appear on secure browsers.


  20. Boca Bill

    The real story here is why is it 2009 and we have yet to do anything at any 9/11 sites beyond clean up? Maybe Bush gave up trying to figure out a way to do these projects without actually creating an American job.

    And while we are on the subject, all we need is a simple, artistic, memorial. It sounds like they are planning a theme park. Six Flags 9/11 here we come! I can't speak for the families of the victims but this is not something I would have wanted.

    Sigh...

    By the way,

    Hoover Dam was completed in 5 years, 2 years ahead of schedule.


  21. Severus

    This "crash site" was egregiously suspect from the get--cordoned off, made inaccessible to reporters, no plane wreckage or bodies anywhere, with Flight 93 wreckage actually scattered in a swath starting miles from the hole in the ground that is alleged to be pt. of impact.

    It's the fascism, stupid!!

  23. I once tried to find newspaper funeral/memorial announcements of the people who died on the 911 flights. I could find none; not even a small town paper mourning the loss of a local family. If any of you can find such announcements specifically mentioning the flight numbers, or if you yourself attended one or know someone who attended one, please let me know. Thanks.


  24. Delphi

    A monument to total gov't fraud and murder and the stupidity or uncaring attitude of the American people. DISGUSTING. These criminal psychopaths are shameless. Use the money for a real investigation of 911 and the arrest of Larry Silverstein.


  25. gravel kucinich paul nader

    Is it Patriotic to allow your Government to lie to you?


  26. [...] leave a comment » 7 May 09 | Raw Story [...]


  27. GB

    Any chance for the government to seal their lies in concrete, the more they get away with rewriting history and science.
    The fact that cell phones cannot be used in a plane at that altitude or the fact that pieces of the flight 93 were strewn over 5 miles or the fact that cheney called down the defense of the missle that hit the most defended and video protected Penagon without showing proof of a plane hitting it......
    The Fox news audience red necks may be buying all this garbage but we who know the bush propaganda stinks are in the majority.

    OK I tried to post a reply above and it didn't seem to work; trying again and hoping this won't be a dupe...

  30. Patrick Faiola

    This memorial is a waste of time and taxpayers money let alone the injustice being imposed on the landowners. I think the Government is playing their kiss ass role to the public, trying to make us believe this is a good and right thing to do. The dumb witted bureaucrats who are running this country into the financial abyss are detached from reality.

    Who really wants to visit the scene of a plane accident?


  31. Death to propaganda

    Will it be called the "Nano Thermit Dust Memorial Plaza?"


  32. Engineer

    More conspiracy morons, thermite dust is a by-product of WELDING which is used in all structural steel buildings to weld connections among the structural members. When the buildings collapsed, steel and welded connections shattered creating the thermite dust. There was no FRIGGIN bomb, ignited jet fuel caused the buildings to collapse, nothing else. The only conspiracy was that the government probably knew in advance that the terrorists were going to hijack the planes and fly them into buildings.


  33. toonces

    Something does seem strange. There are many memorials and historic sites that fall under the National Park Service. Why a perpetually underfunded agency would steal that much land and have to pay to maintain such a large space seems very odd.


  34. Michael

    Engineer???
    If you was then you'd know that thermite is used mostly for railroads not welding.
    Also the termite compounds that was discovered, which burn at significantly higher temperatures (3000C) and are well noted for their destructive uses.
    Your only part of the information that supports what you want to believe and leaving out the rest.


  35. Michael

    What to hear the other side that the news isn't telling?
    Google "Loose Change 2".Only by getting ALL sides of the story can one
    really decide were the truth is.


  36. Dear Raw: Today was another fine example of your 911 related stories that show-up, then quickly become the fastest downward movers on your front page.

    Meanwhile, all day long at the top of your front page, is a non-news filler story about Fox news anchor Shepard Smith's off handed pole dancing snipe.

    Who do you think your readers are?

    It seems that reports here on Raw Story that are about or related to 911, get fast-tracked and then removed...

    Raw - stay with the Raw news please. I do appreciate that on April 4th 2009, you ran the story about the scientists who found Active Highly Explosive Thermite in the World Trade Center dust, but like that story, I'm sorry you have to clean this one away so fast...

    The truth will revel that many in media positions will be treated legally as "Accessories After the Fact" by not reporting the news of this study to the people. So your bases are covered - too bad you don't lead with this story every single day, until the mainstream media decides they can't ignore it any further.

    Home of the brave?


  37. Of course! Because more money can be made (and more taxes charged) if instead of a bunch of scorched earth (which looked the same way 10 years before 93 supposedly nosedived straight into the ground) there was a strip mall selling various doo-dads and trickets like flag pins and coins 'commemorating' the day "no one could have known fundamentalist islamic jyhadists would have used planes as missiles."

  38. Aussie

    I am with Freeman at 34.
    Raw Story you might at least appreciate that you are listed at 911blogger.com and no doubt obtain the benefit of the connection, so how about a bit of loyalty to those murdered by some elements in your own government by at least sticking with a 911 exposure for a period longer? PARTICULARLY THE STORY OF THE MONTH: THE FRIGGIN RESIDUALTHERMATE, is that not the evidence the world public deserves to know"

  40. howie bledsoe

    What about groud zero? Still a parking lot, if I do recall? So why the rush to sieze private property in the middle of nowhere if they cant even put up a poxy statue in one of the most viable real-estate options in the USA? Until they do SOMETHING with ground zero, they dont have a leg to stand on. These people are useless wankers who need to get a life.


  41. In the not too distant future, tribes wandering through this area will gaze upon the monument and recall why the government of the USA was overthrown by the people.


  42. Thomas Jefferson

    What a waste. Instead of building what will be a morbidly bizarre memorial/visiting center with bizarre flight 93 memorial mugs, why don't they plant an apple tree for each of the people on that plane that was shot down then donate the apples to the hungry. That would be a better memorial than rewarding a contractor the exclusive rights to print and sell flight 93 memorial t-shirts that are manufactured in china.


  43. Al Gore

    These thieves should be ashamed of themselves, but of course they feel no shame. If the rightful owners don't want to sell the land or the price isn't right then what to do? Why simply TAKE IT. Patrick White, you must be so very proud of yourself. Steal what isn't yours, how very American and a dignified way to remember the families you claim to represent. You, sir, and your comrades in confiscation, the Park Service, actions are reprehensible.


  44. Stacey

    With all due respect to the victims that lost their lives. I fail to see a good reason to take peoples land if they do not want to sell or give it up. The government seems to be able to do as it chooses more and more. I think in the current recession the money could do much more good than it will building this. I do not believe this needs to occur. I think people need to wake up and start really seeing what is happening. We have corruption everywhere. Fat cats in government allocating funds for things we do not need, meanwhile people are losing their homes and jobs. This is going to trickle down to all of us. There needs to be money to help people, not build monuments. Maybe later when and if we fix this we can think about spending money for that type of thing. The government should have no right to take these peoples land. But they will and no one will blink an eye at it. How bout they give up their land instead.

    the farce continues................


  47. Stacey

    Here is the reply I got after sending an email. I'd really like to help these landowners in some way. This is just wrong. And it seems about profit. If people don't start speaking up in this country ten years from now we will all wish we had. This is just wrong, really wrong.

    Here is the reply,copied and pasted:

    Thank you for your email of May 11, 2009 regarding the Flight 93 Memorial.
    The National Park Service (NPS) has begun the process of eminent domain
    to begin constructing the Flight 93 Memorial in time for an opening on
    September 11, 2011.

    Through this action, the NPS is ensuring the permanent protection of the
    remains of the forty heroes of Flight 93, in what is truly a national
    cemetery. In addition, the NPS is keeping the promise made to the partners
    and the community that the memorial will be dedicated by September 11,
    2011, the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

    The NPS, as well as the Families of Flight 93, has been working with
    landowners since 2005; but with several exceptions, offers made to the
    landowners have been unsuccessful. Now, to meet the construction timeline,
    we must acquire the land by exercising the authority authorized by Congress
    for the Flight 93 National Memorial, and request the U.S. Department of
    Justice (DOJ) to make the necessary filings in U.S. District Court. We will
    provide copies of updated appraisals for the land to the DOJ for use in
    compensating landowners for their property. Under eminent domain, the
    landowners are entitled to "just compensation," which ensures they will be
    paid fair market value for their property.

    Construction of the Flight 93 National Memorial will begin by the end of
    2009 and the Memorial will be opened on the tenth anniversary of 9/1l.

    Thank you for your interest in the Flight 93 Memorial.


  48. angel

    I wrote an email asking to these people to send me some addresses from relatives of the victims from flight 93,, so far they haven't sent any.


  49. This sums it all up so beautifully, what is going on in the west.

    In order to commemorate an event that was very clearly milked -- let alone is shrouded in intrigue and misdiraction -- to allow for draconian measures being implemented throughout the west, not just America, the Feds who are now a financial dictatorship of the central banks are going to SEIZE LANDS in order to build their satanic monument to the murder that took place that day.

    The good news is that the more they act this way, the more it becomes clear that they don't give a damn about any of us and are setting us up to be raped. While for the longest time many discounted "conspiracy theories" with a grin and a wink, today only the thickest of the thickest -- and there are still many of them out there to be sure -- would deny in the wake of FISA, Patriot Acts One and Two, Torture, Lying us into war and the TARP theft of $14 trillion and counting (the annual GDP of the US economy, BTW) Obama is a puppet likely to be sacrificed to create race riots which the political class will use to tighten the noose even more, but people all around the world are realizing they have been at a puppet show and they have seen the strings. That's the main reason for the draconian laws and enforcement: the criminals know they can't keep the game running forever. They need a way to round us up before we round them up. They will fail, guarenteed, but they will stop at nothing -- any lie, any murder, any treason they need to perform -- in order to maintain their place.

    This is going to be a rough year or two for everyone, no doubt. The summer is going to provide more financial fireworks and the fall will likely be filled with war and more destruction, the better to hide the fraud going on. (Remember WT7?) The memorial will stand as a propogandistic exercize in lying with a straight face. But more and more people are seeing through the charade, like the fake green revolution being financed and spurred on by MI6 and the CIA, and the fake green shoots of economic recovery that are as much a lie as global warming ever was. These spent imperial political, intelligence and propoganda minions are digging themselves into an even bigger hole, and all the monuments and stolen lands won't stop the judgement these vile monsters are soon to recieve.

    I can only imagine what they really plan to build there.

I have given my sacred oath ’to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies foreign and domestic. ’ I intend to fulfill that oath. Third, I believe in the family unit and, in particular, my family unit. I have sworn that I will give my life, if it is required, in defense of God, the Constitution, or my family.

    US Major General: 911 was a fraud
    http://www.disclose.tv/members/viewvideo/25865/US_Major_General__911_was_a_fraud/

    Major General Albert "Bert" N. Stubblebine III, head of all intelligence says:

    Pentagon NOT hit by a plane
    WTC 7 brought down by explosives
    Media in America is controlled

    A terrible pilot hits pentagon accounting office holding records of missing 3 trillion in oil for money scheme & missing 2.3 trillion in DOD expenses

    Pentagon debris a single 3 foot engine Proven not related to 757

    FBI took all recordings & refuses to show

    The FCC had all records on criminals like Paulson, Geithner, Ruben, Summers & others engaging in that illegal activity. But all the records of those illegal trades were destroyed when WTC 7 was brought down by thermite on 9/11!

    911 was a public snuff film used to shock the public and enact the end of the Bill of Rights & invasion of oil bearing countries, & make money for private companies like Halliburton, (stock from 10 to 50 a share)!

    By destroying the WTC, they were able to cover up theft of gold bullion & destroy illegal financial transaction records performed just prior to the attacks

    Silverstein spends 140 million to make 7 billion almost over night; Silverstein said it was demolished by explosives, (pull it)

    It reminds me of CIA man Byrd, the owner of TX School Book Depository, who turned a 2.5 million insider purchase into 26 million dollars thanks to JFK assassination!
