Today, so far, the Pentagon and the World Trade Center in the United States have been attacked by what appears to be commandeered airplanes.

It is a shame that innocent people have been killed and injured.

World capitalism is under attack by the people of the world.
The United States of America needs to stop supporting Zionists, needs to stop walking out of conferences, needs to stop destroying the ecology of the planet, needs to stop exploiting working people around the world.

Working people and other oppressed people of the world do not have standing armies and spaced based weapons so the forces of the people will fight back by any means necessary.

It?s a sad day for the injured and the families of those killed and injured. World capitalism and the Bush administration are to blame.

One more thing I think Bush really needs to concentrate on the missile defense system?.That will take care of those scum. FUCK

Yeah, its just such a freakin coincidence that this happened, so now stupid

Americans will back up the missle defense bullshit.

Please ask yourself, who is really behind these attacks..

Think of Oklahoma...

That last sentence was sarcasim obviously those were airplanes that hit those buildings not missles. It was meant to show just how out of touch Bush is.

I can't tell if this will finally convince america how stupid SDI, star wars, or whatever they call it these, is. Or the military/industrial corporate greed will use this to show that america needs a missile defence to help protect us from low flying planes and car bombs.

THIS EVENT WILL PUT AMERICANS BEHIND THE PRESIDENT, NOT A GOOD THING. THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS DIED,MILLIONS SCARED. OF WHAT? TODAY SHOULD BE A DAY FOR AMERICANS TO WAKE UP AND REALIZE THAT THE CAPITALIST WORLD IS UNDER SEIGE, THE REVOLUTION HAS BEEN TELEVISED. MY WORST FEAR, THOUGH, IS THAT BUSH WILL RETALLIATE AGAINST NON-VIOLENT, ANTI-CAPITALIST, ANTI-GLOBALIZATION ACTIVISTS WITH MILITARY FORCE AND BLIND AMERICANS WILL STAND BEHIND HIM IN A CLOUD OF FEAR THAT THEIR SAFETY AND STABILE CORPORATE-RUN LIVES WILL BE TAKEN BY THESE TERRORISTS.

FACT: PEOPLE DIE EVERY DAY OF STARVATION AND DISEASE.

FACT: TODAY IS NO DIFFERENT.

although i am saddened by the pople killed in the subway underneath the world trade center....

the World Trade Center was hit, crashed, burned! the Pentagon was flown into!

A symbolic move against the very symbols of capitalism and imperial rule that the US has.

Of course, Bush is taking these incidents as oportunities to "punish" those responsible.

who will "those" be??

and now comes to mind

all the cameras and photos taken of protesting activists at all the anti -wto, ftaa... rallies throughout the country.

will we be targeted? wh0 are they going to to go after?

----

the reality hits and tv watching people freak and

had they not realized that it was comming?

have they we not been following world events unfold?

---

revolution time is ripe. but what now?

be careful! this is not the revolution. this is all so obviously scripted, like pearl harbor was. even the recent production of the pearl harbor movie was part of it, i'm sure. it is a trick to mobilize the country to war and to accept the next step - denial of all our rights in the name of security, possibly to the point of martial law. muslims, arabs, and palestinians particularly are being scapegoated - see AP report and its vicious and unsubstantiated claim that palestinians are rejoicing. be careful. be calm. do not enter into this sham or play your role in their script. we need to think, and to communicate.

thank you for this comment,

of course this is obviously done on purpose, of course an event of this scope is only possible with the help of a national force or secret service....

of course arab countries are going to be blamed as well as anybody who disagrees with US policies

of course i am angry, not at the bombing in itself but what is behind it and what will happen next

i feel like i am back in 1990 before the gulf war

seems like somebody took lessons from his dad as far as bullshitting the country amd manipulating its citizens

in a way this is a logical sequel to the comedy of the elections

i can already see the ceremony and the mourning for the families with american flags and propaganda speeches

of course it is horrendous and awful

but i am still unclear as what is going to happen now and the real meaning of this.

in any case, please let's not fall into the synopsis written for us and try to use our brains for once

this is important

G---

I mean no disrespect to those who were killed, their

families, et al. when I state what should be obvious: that

what occurred today was both horrible and inevitable.

There are over 6 billion people on the planet and a very

small number of them are served by that monument to

capitalism once known as the world trade center. It was

only a matter of time before the building would once again

be a target of a terrorist attack (as it had in 1993). It

is somewhat naive to be surprised by this. As for the

Pentagon . . . nothing more need be said.

Today one of the national news outlets showed a clip of

people in Palestine celebrating the vulnerability of the US

by waving their arms in the air and flashing victory signs.

I fear that this sentiment will be terribly mis-understood

by the casual observer deeply shocked by the tragedy and

manipulated by those maudlin attitudes of the newscasters.

I keep thinking of this: what had happened to these people

that they would loose their humanity in dancing on the

graves of thousands of innocent people? I don't blame them

you understand, I have no enmity toward their feelings, I

am only disturbed that they have been brought to embrace

such feelings in the first place. We must ask ask

ourselves how have we come this far?

But the corporate news is focusing on other questions

clearly. I hear that this is an 'attack against the US' as

if it is the equivalent of the Japanese attack on Pearl

Harbor (one station repeated this ad nauseum). Was it as

bad as killing all those civilians at Hiroshima? Nagasaki?

And what about the killing of the first Americans?

Doesn't that constitute a domestic terrorist act of far

more damaging proportions? As usual true terrorism is seen

as only that which happens to us. Listen to how it is

characterized as 'cowardly' and how retribution is the

theme of the day. Is that the worst thing you can say

about someone is that they are cowardly? Are we supposed

to dig out the corpses of the hijackers from the rubble at

the WTC and kill them again? Revenge takes precedence over

justice once again. Will this nation ever learn justice?

Just a thought. Let's try to not get caught up in the

'spectacle' of reporting re:today's events. Already I hear

national security advisors quick to circle the wagons. The

border to first Mexico and now Canada has been closed?

Undoubtedly the fear of terrorism will be used as

justification for the suspension of many of our civil

liberties. Dissent, hardly tolerated in the first place

here in the US, will now be found as downright

un-patriotic. Mark my words: in a state obsessed with

terrorism the first casualty is always freedom.

here in oxnard, california

southern beach side, the Sea Bees and the Air FOrce are already getting ready for defense / offense?

There is a large Navy base and also an Air Force base lovcated in Oxnard; and already they are shut down where no one may enter or leave base.

Many of the residents of the county work for the ARMY or some other type of large scale defense sector.

Community Colleges remain open with the exception of some proffesors who have cancelled classes.

The impact of the events do not seem to yet take effect on the students. They continue walking to and from building to building.

If things escalate, i believe we will have a nightly curfew in effect by sundown. We are 45 miles away from LA.

...

This is a big f~&k you to anyone not condemning what happened in

the US today. No matter what you think of US or capitalism or

whatever, the simple fact is that today 1000s of innocent lives

were lost. How can you go around condemning the lives lost in

Saipan or Honduras or anywhere else? Is human life less valuable

if they are American? If you believe that, get the f~&k out of my

movement, because the idea is to love everyone, justice for everyone,

not to pick and choose which civilians we think need protecting. Just

for the world, humans everywhere. War anywhere is a tragedy to

us all. If they had blown up just a building, or an empty structure, maybe,

but these are people, normal everyday people and you condemn them

because of they have a leader (half of whom didn't vote for him) who

acts irresponsibly. You make me sick to associate myself with a

movement that pertends to love justice and freedom and rights, and

then goes on to claim victory in the death of thousands.

For all the complaining about how easily corporations harm the

environment and the people, start throwing bricks at your own

support of violence and death, you hypocritcal lost children.

US presence in the world has been one of bully and agent for Nazi controlled Imperialist capitalist Overlords. World War II will not end until we, the Movement, are victorious in ending the Nazi control.

Whether or not Bush staged this as an excuse to completely stop freedom of expression and intimidate those of us engaged in bringing Democracy to the US - or whether the actions grew from Palestinian repression, we need to counter this sequence of events (which are now headed toward halting elections and the transfer of government overtly to the Military) by building larger networks of resistance.

Whether or not Bush executed these actions, I know that the War Criminal considers it to be his ticket to imperialist dictatorship.

I feel sad but I do not feel like condemning (and of course neither do I feel celebarating) what happened in the US becasue I don't think I really know know what's going--like who did it and why. Also think the terroists probably have as less wrongs as the corporate forces which has caused much deaths and sufferings.

Now what's worring is the fear of Americans and the use of fear factors by politicians.

Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger told CNN, ''This [the incidnet] is comparable to Pearl Harbor and we must have the same response and the people who did it must have the same end as the people who attacked Pearl Harbor.'' And we know how many people were killed by the two atomic bombs, for vengenence.

I think it's time to push for an international governing body that looks like but bigger than the European union...

f&*k you sounds like a narc to me and needs to f*&k off...

Its pretty obvious to me that everyone was caught off guard by this attack.

As someone who has reported on federal agencies, it is prety clear that these people do not allways have their shit together.

It is stupid and blind to blame the government for this, I doubt they would be blowing up there own headquaters.

If you notice how easy it is to fly airplanes latteraly throughouut the sky and how easy it is to form cabals, it is easy to see that the CIA didnt need to be involved.

As people caring for democracy and justice, we should be looking at the fallout of this tragedy and making sure that a further injustice isnt done.

We should also be looking at the root causes and making changes that guns are never pointed at innocent people again, and ideally that violence like this doesnt ever occur.

smash the state, not the people. they are two very different things.

Fuck all you fair weather pretend anarchists. Innocent people murdered by fuckhead fanatics is a tragedy whether the USA does it or extremist religious nuts do it.

You like thinking of yourselves as outsiders because of your views, it makes you feel special and different.

A couple thousand of your fellow humans died horrible deaths today. Doctors are now going in to amputate limbs so rescue workers can free trapped humnas from the rubble.

You got the fashion and the chants down but you fucking mushbrain poser anarchists missed something along the way.

It's about compassion you idiots.

Where is your compassion for the holocausts executed around the globe by US hegemonic interests on a yearly basis?

Hypocrite. Commit your life to your nazis.
