NPR reports that the death toll from 9/11 has been raised by 1, bringing the number to 2,753. The recent addition to the number of people who were murdered without a proper investigation on 9/11 came from a Manhattan worker who inhaled the initial dust cloud (like thousands of other people).
Last year, it was reported that upwards of 900 people had already died from 9/11 related illnesses. NY 1 reported last year:
Rodriguez, of Lindenhurst, L.I., the mother of two young boys, is among nearly 900 first responders to have died from an array of ailments traced to their service at the smoldering World Trade Center.
The clean-up of the WTC site was a disaster in many ways: From hasty removal of crime scene evidence to lies from the EPA and other agencies. Here is a clip from a report at World for 9/11 Truth:
Nearly 100,000 first responders have been exposed to toxic elements such as Asbestos and were not instructed to wear any special equipment to avoid medical problems. In fact, as demonstrated in the shocking documentary Dust to Dust: the Health Effects of 9/11, the EPA and the U.S. Government told them the air was safe to breathe.
A man who died last year of lung disease was added Friday to the official
list of victims of the Sept. 11 attacks.
New York City’s medical examiner ruled that 63-year-old Jerry Borg, of
Manhattan, who died in December, was killed by complications caused by a lung
condition he got from inhaling dust from the collapse of the World Trade
Center.
Borg suffered from pulmonary sarcoidosis, a disease in which inflamed cells
can make someone’s lungs stiff and interfere with normal breathing.
And particularly for him to make the statement here in Manhattan, just a little north of ground zero, where families lost their loved ones, people of all faiths, all ethnicities who see this as the seminal tragedy of this generation, for him to make a statement like that was inexcusable.”
Only weeks ago the media distractions towards the mosque were at an all time high. Many of those against the building of the mosque had this to say:
Sarah Palin: “Build a mosque….but somewhere else that’s less offensive and less provoking.”"
Donald Trump: “I think it is very insensitive to build it there. I think it is not appropriate. I think it’s insensitive and it shouldn’t be built there.”
Newt Gingrich: “I’m quite happy if they’d come in and said, ‘We want to build a community center near Central Park, we’d like to build a community center near Columbia University.’ But they didn’t. They said right at the edge (of Ground Zero)…”
Glenn Beck: “I’m opposed to it. I think it’s crazy.”
Dem. Governor of Illinois Pat Quinn: “I do believe that there are special places on Earth that should have a zone of solemnity around them. I would strongly urge those who are thinking of putting a mosque within that zone to rethink their position.“
The web is filled with references to the mosque being too close to Ground Zero, made by people like I have pointed out above.
Obama has aligned his positions with Beck, Palin, Gingrich and many others in limiting and restricting the most basic freedoms around the site of the World Trade Center.
It is time to see through the smoke and mirrors; 9/11 is being used by both parties as an excuse to limit civil liberties and curtail freedoms worldwide while continuing the occupations of aggression in the Middle East.

Watch the below videos to see that although Donna mentions “19 criminals”, she has asked and is still asking many questions about 9/11. She has attended and spoken at more than one 9/11 truth event. Read the rest of this entry »
Forget World Trade Center #7, Shirlee Zane doesn’t even remember how many hijackers were officially involved on 9/11.
The Press Democrat on Wednesday reported that Sonoma County Supervisor Shirlee Zane commented, and thus thrust herself into the “debate”, of the Mosque near Ground Zero:
In an interview, Zane called the mosque debate a “land-use issue,” and said building the facility where it is being proposed would be insensitive to the surviving friends and family members of those who perished in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
“By all means, build the mosque. It would be wonderful to have a large community center,” Zane said. “But be sensitive to the location. You can build it a little farther away.”
Unfortunately Zane takes two more large steps leaps backwards when she says this:
Zane went on to say that the difference between building a church and a mosque near Ground Zero is that “14 men didn’t get into two airplanes, or however many it was…”
This article is in discussion to the events of 9/11, not necessarily taking into account that our children are growing up in a police state of which you are either “with, or against.” This also does not get into the effects of the War of Terror that was waged after the false flag-flag attack known as 9/11.
New York City officials say a renewed search this year of debris in and around the World Trade Center site has recovered 72 human remains.
The sifting of more than 800 cubic yards of debris recovered from ground zero and underneath roads around the lower Manhattan site began in April and ended Friday.
The greatest number of remains – 37 – were found from material underneath West Street, a highway on the west side of ground zero. The new debris was uncovered as construction work made new parts of the site accessible.
This is not the first time 9/11 human remains have been found in the streets of New York years after the fact. In 2006 CBS reported this:
Construction workers near the World Trade Center discovered 74 more bone fragments on a damaged skyscraper slated to be torn down later this year, officials said Thursday
Lawyers for the city and about 10,000 rescue and cleanup workers who say their health was damaged at ground zero announced Thursday that they had negotiated a new, $712 million settlement to replace one that a federal judge rejected three months ago.
The new pact drew a vigorous endorsement from the judge, Alvin K. Hellerstein of United States District Court in Manhattan, who had said the previous one, amounting to $657 million, was too small.
Heeding another complaint from the judge, lawyers for the workers agreed to reduce their fees to one-quarter of the total payout rather than the one-third called for in the lawyers’ original agreement with their clients.
Judge Hellerstein, who has emerged as a passionate advocate for firefighters, police officers and other workers and volunteers who have suffered ailments they attribute to the toxic debris of the World Trade Center, had stunned and angered lawyers for both sides when he unilaterally rejected the first deal on March 19.
Exposure to a dangerous cocktail of smoke, dust, fumes and gases among those involved in clean-up, rescue, recovery and demolition at the World Trade Center ultimately compromised the workers’ sense of smell, new researchreveals.
Such individuals specifically experienced a diminished ability to detect odors and irritants, researchers at the nonprofit Monell Center in Philadelphia and their collaborators found.
“The nose performs many sensory functions that are critical for human health and safety,” Monell environmental psychologist and lead author Pamela Dalton said in a news release. “The sensory system that detects irritants is the first line of defense to protect the lungs against airborne toxic chemicals. The loss of the ability of the nose to respond to a strong irritant means that the reflexes that protect the lungs from toxic exposures will not be triggered.”
The study, reported in the May 18 online edition of Environmental Health Perspectives, was funded by the U.S. National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders.
President Obama’s budget office has withheld the money required to finish a pair of 9/11 studies on the health of people who responded to the terror attacks, the Daily News has learned.
The money was expected to be part of a funding package released last week by the Office of Management and Budget to keep 9/11 treatment programs going — cash that came just seven weeks before funding ran out, with providers fearing they might have to interrupt services.
But not included was support for a survey of responders on the Sept. 11 health registry, including thousands of people from all over the country, according to a letter obtained by the News.
Also missing is cash for a study to learn how severely exposure to the toxins of Ground Zero raised the risk of getting cancer — a question grimly highlighted Saturday by the cancer death of 42-year-old city Police Officer Robert Oswain. His relatives blame his 9/11 service.

The failure to rebuild the World Trade Center site in Manhattan has received endless attention, but public anger about this failed reconstruction should not been seen as negatively as it is. After all, mental reconstruction also has not been successful and is surely more needed, with too many Americans still accepting the official government story about 9/11. This, despite a huge amount of compelling evidence that elements of the US government played some role, despite a very large, active 9/11 truth movement, and despite an impressive number of highly credible people demanding a new investigation, as documented at patriotsquestion911.com.
In the recent Angus Reid Public Opinion survey of a representative national sample of American adults, 62 per cent of respondents disagree with the view that the “Sept. 11 incident was a big fabrication as a pretext for the campaign against terrorism and a prelude for staging an invasion against Afghanistan.” But 26 per cent of respondents agree with this notion, with a far more impressive 45 percent of Democrats and 34 percent of Independents agreeing, versus 20 percent of Republicans. And 12 per cent are undecided.
In sum, about 100 million Americans seem to question or find fault with the official story, far from a trivial number and far too many to dismiss as conspiracy nuts and part of the lunatic fringe. That the mainstream media refuses to acknowledge this kind of public sentiment reflects on their lack of courage to face the truth. This behavior does nothing to improve American democracy.
Despite the driving rain, more than 30 people rallied in front of Rep. Frank Pallone Jr.’s Long Branch office Monday to urge the congressman to move forward with a bill that would guarantee extended health care for 9/11 first responders and people who worked and lived near the World Trade Center.
Injured or ailing 9/11 first responders and supporters stood in a drenching rain to rally in front of Rep. Frank Pallone Jr.’s Long Branch office Monday. KENNY WALTER The rally, organized by the Fealgood Foundation, urged the 6th District Democrat to move the James Zadroga 9/11 Health & Compensation Act (H.R. 847) out of committee to a floor vote in Congress.
“We are not deterred by the rain,” said John Feal, rally organizer and president and founder of the foundation. “We’ve been rained on for years.
“This is 800-plus 9/11 first responders in heaven crying on us today. We simply want a mark-up date. We will rally again and the sun will shine.”
Feal explained in an interview what the foundation’s mission is.
“At the end of 2005 I started the Feal- Good Foundation,” he said. “We do fundraisers and donate financial assistance, and we also advocate for 9/11 responders.”
When you spend your entire life lying, it’s hard to remember what really is true! The last 8 years since 9/11, Guliani has tried to write his own history, and future; maybe now we will see the end of his attempts, and the beginning of a criminal prosecution. If for nothing else, at least the radio’s on 9/11…
The former New York City mayor who has sometimes been mocked for using “a noun, a verb and 9/11″ in stump speeches appears to have forgotten — or has mentally reclassified — the worst terrorist attack on American soil. “We had no domestic attacks under Bush,” Rudy Giuliani told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos Friday.
Even if Giuliani doesn’t consider the attacks on 9/11 a “domestic” attack then surely he forgot about the anthrax attacks of 2001 or an Egyptian national who attacked the El Al ticket counter at Los Angeles International Airport in 2002.
While ABC’s George Stephanopolous let Giuliani get away with his misstatement both during the interview and on his blog, ABC’s Jake Tapper called the former mayor out. “Giuliani’s comments that there were zero terrorist attacks under Bush, 1 under Obama, is false no matter how you slice it,” tweeted Tapper.

Obama,Gingrich, Palin & Beck Agree: Ground Zero too Close for Civil Liberties to Exist
September 26, 2010by Brian Romanoff Nor Cal Truth Sep 26, 2010
In rebuttal to Ahmadinejad’s recent comments at the United Nations General Assembly, President Obama made some eerily similar comments as those who were protesting an Islamic Cultural Center near Ground Zero. Obama had this to say:
Only weeks ago the media distractions towards the mosque were at an all time high. Many of those against the building of the mosque had this to say:
The web is filled with references to the mosque being too close to Ground Zero, made by people like I have pointed out above.
