September 11 should not pass without remembrance of honorable people who died in an act of disgraceful cowardice. A building symbolic of democratic government had its dome blown to bits. A respected president died of an apparent suicide in the face of probable execution at the hands of thugs. Then followed concentration camps and inquisitions, and a fascist government installed – one of the great criminals of the 20th century, Augusto Pinochet, came to power.
September 11, 1973 was the day the democratically elected government of Chile was overthrown in a US backed coup d’etat. It is a dark day in history.
May we never forget Pinochet or the thousands of victims left in his wake. May we 36 years later vow that it never happens again.
Piece of Mindful 
And then there’s September 18, 1931, when the pissant pacifists of the world sat around and watched the Japs march into Manchuria.
When are you people going to learn?

You’re right – Chile was about to invade. Good thing we stopped them. And Pinochet? A peach of a guy. I see your point.

If a genie could grant me one wish today, that wish wouldn’t be for world peace, unlimited wolf tags or even more wealth.
That wish would be that we could replace you with one of those young doomed fire fighters, so that he could be with his family.

The firefighters were victims. If I could be granted one wish today, it would be that you could see one victim beyond the shores of your hallowed country, the one that allows you to accumulate wealth without awareness of your congress with your fellow citizens, the one that allows you to shoot wolves so that the world is safe for your sheep, the one that insulates you so that you have no awareness beyond injuries we have suffered, and no clue that we are far better at making victims than anyone else on the planet.

Scientists Discover Both Residues
And Unignited Fragments
Of Nano-Engineered Thermitic Pyrotechnics
In Debris From the Twin Towers

Introduction
The scientific paper Active Thermitic Material Discovered in Dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe conclusively shows the presence of unignited aluminothermic explosives in dust samples from the Twin Towers, whose chemical signature matches previously documented aluminothermic residues found in the same dust samples. The present review of the paper and related research is intended to summarize those findings for the non-technical reader. To that end, I first provide a short introduction to the subject of aluminothermic explosives, then outline the methods and results of analysis of the dust samples, and finally explore the significance of these findings.
