The denial and obfuscation are quite literally endless. The establishment media’s first priority is to make sure no one thinks ill of Islam. If Christians had brought down the Towers in the name of Christ, would the Times be this solicitous of Christianity? What do you think?
“Nolte: New York Times Says ‘Airplanes Took Aim at World Trade Center’ on 9/11,” by John Nolte, Breitbart, September 11, 2019:
The far-left New York Times reports it was “airplanes” that took aim at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 — not Islamic terrorists.
No kidding, this is what the New York Times published on Wednesday, the 18th anniversary of that terrible day: “Eighteen years have passed since airplanes took aim at the World Trade Center and brought them down.”
A tweet published by the Times on Wednesday announced the same bombshell: “18 years have passed since airplanes took aim and brought down the World Trade Center.”
Without bothering to retract the extraordinary news nearly 3000 Americans were the victims of airplanes that had suddenly became sentient, the Times deleted the tweet and rewrote the article.
Naturally, the article still withholds holds the crucial information about exactly who the terrorists were: “Eighteen years have passed since terrorists commandeered airplanes to take aim at the World Trade Center and bring them down,” it now reads.
But nowhere in the piece will you read the words “Islam” or even “al Qaeda.”
This is what Orwell called memory-holing, a deliberate act that involves the Powerful rewriting the past by erasing the past, all in the hope of controlling the future.
You can bet that had white supremacists brought down the World Trade Center, “WHITE SUPREMACIST” would appropriately blaze in every headline.
To point out just how dishonest the failing New York Times has chosen to be on this somber anniversary, try to imagine similar coverage on the anniversary of the 2015 massacre in that South Carolina church where a white supremacist murdered nine black Americans in cold blood.
“Five years have passed since a gun took aim in a Charleston, South Carolina Church, and nine people died,” the Times story and tweet would read.
Now let’s apply the Times’ so-called update to the 9/11 article to the Charleston shooting: “Five years have passed since a man used a gun to murder nine black Americans in a Charleston, South Carolina Church.”…

With al LAH {“the BEST of deceivers” k3;54} to misguide them….
somehistory says
Guns don’t kill people, but apparently airplanes do.
There were more non moslim terrorists on those planes than moslim terrorists. The planes, if they had minds of their own, must have been evil planes to murder so many innocent people on board. And there were more non moslims in all of the towers and pentagon, than moslims…active terrorists or not…so the planes had to be really evil to murder all those innocent people on the ground.
Since the planes did not act on their own to “aim” at the buildings, crash and kill thousands, it had to be the moslim terrorists who took control and deliberately flew them into the buildings, which makes those creeps demonically evil.
The NYT helps no one with their deceit used to try to cover for islam and its adherents.
JW_Reader says
Western scientists developed airplanes. If Allah had his will, we will still be riding camels and magic carpet. If Allah had nothing to do with those planes – how can you blame Islam for those attacks.? Allah is strongly against these scientific developments. (For example, Allah’s followers still depend on azan to wake up for morning prayers in stead of Alarm Clocks!) That is why Muslims like to hijack planes and use clock for bombings. Points to ponder!!
Jule Bacal says
No, the whole time they are doing it they are praying & telling Allah how they do it for him and to help them kill more and more no matter what tool….even if its just politics. Allah does not care how they kill or deceive or oppress, just so they try until the goal is reached. Remotes, cell phones, nuc power..doesn’t matter the tool.But the worse/bigger tool the better.An ak is better than a knife, a bomb better, a plane…wow what a drama. The bigger the more the better for Allah.
Cathryn Paradise says
“‘Airplanes Took Aim at World Trade Center” implies the planes acted without human control. Typical leftist propaganda.
LB says
Omar: “Some people did something”
NYT: “Some airplanes did something”
Well which is it? If you’re going to whitewash it, then at least get your stories straight, jeez…

Jule Bacal says
They also work over there and hire from them. Notice who works for them.
SB says
On 9/1, eighteen years ago, “some people did something.”
Rarely says
No. “Some planes did something”. After all, not all planes are evil.
FYI says
But what if someday,if planes have Artificial Intelligence…they read the koran,go insane and fly by themselves into buildings…?
winoceros says
The good news is, since AI relies on logical arguments, it could never develop a plan of action based on the Quran. Except maybe to ignore it as completely illogical.
FYI says
@winoceros
Yes.Too true.
The illogicality of the koran would cause a system failure :Like in those old Sci Fi movies where the robot/computer starts to emit smoke “Does not compute”.I remember that in some old Star Trek episode..the computer blew up due to a conflict in logic.
Just Like the B9 Robot in the “Lost in Space” series
“I cannot accept that course of action …danger will Robinson!…..my computer is the best on earth…………does not compute,does not compute”
FYI says
And Imagine of an AI module processed the koran..
the koran:The moon was split in half
AI mod:what?Let me check through 10,000 years of Astronomical records..nope,not seeing that….
the koran:the sun sets in a muddy pool
AI module:Wow.[sarc}I guess Astronomy and Astrophysics must be wrong..let me calculate how big such a pool would have to be anyway…for such an enormous object as a star…
PRCS says
“The far-left New York Times reports it was “airplanes” that took aim at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 — not Islamic terrorists.”
Note to Breitbart:
They were not “Islamic” terrorists.
They were Muslim terrorists.
Why the constant obfuscation?
David Longfellow says
Muslims are responsible and are planning more carnage as you read this.
gravenimage says
Grimly true, David.
No Muzzies Here says
Airplanes didn’t take aim and bring down the WTC. 19 fanatical, suicidal Muslims did, supported by a vast network of Muslims and governments throughout the world.
The Times is unwilling to say the truth, that Islam inspired the murders.
mortimer says
Robert Spencer asks a fine question: “If Christians had brought down the Towers in the name of Christ, would the Times be this solicitous of Christianity? What do you think?”
Well, we know the answer.
However, there is nothing in Christianity that resembles the JIHAD DOCTRINE of RELIGIOUSLY-MOTIVATED WARFARE AGAINST DISBELIEVERS UNTIL VICTORY.
Islam doesn’t contain the Christian’s Golden Rule, but contains Al Walaa wal Baraa (Islamic apartheid).
Islam doesn’t contain the commandment of Jesus to “LOVE YOUR ENEMIES”, but the commandment of the Koran to treat disbelievers ‘harshly’ or ‘violently’ (Arabic ‘ashidaa’). Koran 48.29.
If 9-11 had been perpetrated by Christians there would have been protests of millions of Christians worldwide led by the top Christian clergy.
As we saw, many Muslims rejoiced after 9-11 and there were NO LARGE PROTESTS by Muslims after 9-11, but a few diplomatic letters of condolence from governments. Some of those Muslim governments were even complicit in 9-11.
Walter Sieruk says
Those jihadists of al Qaeda on September 11, 2001 did have a very harsh reality check after they died in their jihad suicide/homicide bombings. For instead of finding themselves in a paradise, with or without virgins, they found themselves, to their shock and horror, trapped and suffering in the fires of hell, Luke 16:1-31. As the Bible teaches murderer “will not inherit the kingdom of God.” Galatians 5:21. The Bible also gives a list of those who are fated to suffer terribly forever in the Lake of fire and murderers are on that list, Revelations 21:8.
Furthermore, all those heinous jihad suicide/homicide attacker are both murderous and demonic. It now should be made known that this jihad murderous bombing is the outcome of the Islamic doctrine from the Qu‘’ran [the Koran] of a sexual paradise with many virgins, houris , in it for the male Muslim /jihadist who dies fighting in the jihad for the cause of Islam is found in the “holy book” of Islam, the Koran, in Sura 44:54. 55: 56. 78:31. Also there is the Koranic instruction of Sura 9:111 which teaches “The believers fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain, they kill and are killed.” Getting back to the origin doctrine of Islam from the Koran of a sex –filled paradise with many houris for the use only by the male jihadist who dies fight for the advancement of Islam. All this started when the founder and prophet of Islam, Muhammad manufactured Islam he put , had stolen, some of sex doctrine of Zoroastrian mythology and a yet smaller bit of Hindu mythological sex teachings along with as well as mixture pagan Arabian folklore and myth plus a heavy dose of Judaism and Christianity . Also some of it apostate “Christianity” For the prophet of Islam, Muhammad, couldn’t discern the difference between genuine Bible based Christianity and bogus “Christianity.” Those words and teaching Muhammad gathered from many sources, including the virgins /sex place mythology. , and taught as “Divine Truth” were written down on many things then later compiled and then went into the composition of the Koran. So the hoax of the Koran is actually a mixture and fusion Judaism Christianity and mythology of other religions and now the Muslim clerics with the Koranic brainwashing of young Muslims who are thoroughly mind programmed into believing this Islamic/Koranic virgins myth.
This deception of false doctrine /myth into the thoughts of some people was predicted in the Bible along with the false teachers who engage in the indoctrination of such a myth /doctrine into the minds and hearts other people . For it is written “For the time will come when they will not stand wholesome teaching, but will follow their own fancy and gather a crown of teachers to tickle their ears. They will stop their ears to the truth and turn to mythology.” Second Timothy 4:3,4. [N.E.B.]
Rev. G says
Revelations? Which Bible is that in? I ask because typically those using that term are showing that they know much less than they claim, regarding that fine work.

Walter Sieruk is quite knowledgeable about the Bible.

Mr. Cohen says
Caroline Glick said:
“The [New York] Times’ willingness to disseminate
pro-Hezbollah propaganda may have represented
a new low in its advocacy for terror groups.
But arguably, the [New York] Times’ decision
to champion the most powerful non-state actor
in the world — with one of the world’s largest
missile arsenals, all pointing at Israel —
is not the worst aspect of its coverage.”
“What may be worse is the [New York] Times’
campaign to effectively disenfranchise American Jews.
The paper undertakes this campaign by using
its pages to legitimize anti-Semitism emanating
from the Left, delegitimize friends of Jews
on the political Right, and shame American Jews
who stubbornly refuse to abandon Israel,
or turn their back on Israel’s friends.
These American Jews also impertinently notice
the galloping Jew hatred on the political Left.”
“This move by the [New York] Times is more
dangerous because it is more difficult to criticize.
It is easy to spot apologetics for terrorism.
It is harder, and more controversial, to call
the [New York] Times out for manipulating
American Jews in the service of Left-wing anti-Semites.”

Given the progressive, activist media’s effective control over the public discourse in the U.S., today it acts not as the guarantor of freedom of expression, but as the most powerful bar to freedom of expression in America.
By determining what is “racist” and what is not racist, what is “politically correct” and what is unacceptable politically and culturally, the media do not serve as a vehicle for informing the public about the issues of the day and the state of the country and the world.
Rather, they serve as indoctrination nodes, instructing the public what they can say and what they cannot say; what they can think, and what they cannot think; who can be accepted as legitimate and who must be ostracized and shamed as illegitimate.

Mark R. Levin (a lawyer and best-selling author) said:
The examples of the [New York] Times’ and mass media’s hostility toward the Jewish State is not even a matter of indifference, as it was during the plight of European Jews in the 1930s and 1940s, which was horrifying.
Instead, there is frequently open and affirmative hostility toward the Jewish State, despite the fact that the small country, a democracy and an ally, faces daily threats of extermination from terrorists groups and surrounding terrorist states, including, if not especially, nuclear-weapons-obsessed Iran.
After examining more than a year’s worth of recent coverage by the [New York] Times, Gilead Ini of the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America [CAMERA] concluded that the [New York] Times:
“consistently flouts the rules of ethical journalism.
And it does so as part of a campaign to protect
anti-Israel activists and steer public opinion

Matti Friedman [former Associated Press reporter] wrote:
“Hamas’s strategy is to provoke a response from Israel
by attacking from behind the cover of Palestinian civilians,
thus drawing Israeli strikes that kill those civilians,
and then to have the casualties filmed by one of the
world’s largest press contingents, with the understanding
that the resulting outrage abroad will blunt Israel’s response.
This is a ruthless strategy, and an effective one.
It is predicated on the cooperation of journalists.
One of the reasons it works is because of the reflex I mentioned.
If you report that Hamas has a strategy based on co-opting the media,
this raises several difficult questions, like:
What exactly is the relationship between the media and Hamas?
And has this relationship corrupted the media?”

Of course, Lydia, it is the leftists way of “explaining” horrible attacks and accidents. There was a car accident in Berlin killing four people. The accident is, according to the police, probably attributed to a epileptic seizure of the driver. But, accoring to the leftists, the car killed the people. They used this horrible accident to call for a prohibition of SUVs instead of sending condolences to the victim’s families and mourning with them over their terrible loss. https://www.dw.com/en/berliners-call-for-suv-ban-after-fatal-traffic-accident/a-50342322
