REVISITING THE WORLD TRADE CENTER AND A LESSSON NOT QUITE LEARNT BY THE AMERICANS AND ALL:
ALL AMERICANS
REGARDLESS OF THEIR RACE, RELIGION, COLOR OR CREED, AND AMERICA DESERVE TO HAVE BETTER
POLITICAL, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL SYSTEMS TO SUIT THE TIMES. IT IS FOR THEIR OWN
GOOD!

…All
Americans must be brave to set the White House free from any lobby groups who
represent so small a community and weird and out-of-date personal interests and
with so crude a behavior! Give America
back to the voters! Take it back from the Lobbyists!
‘In the
past if Americans were faced with adversity they would ask themselves, ‘What
did I do to deserve this?’ Now they ask, ‘Why did the Arabs (not they – the yet
to be determined people!) do this to me?’ Americans should start to ask the
earlier questions their parents and grandparents would have asked when 911
happened.
I
returned to New York City on 1 April and after visiting my alma mater, I
traveled by land across the country to end up in Hollywood before turning
around to return to The Big Apple and on 16 April, 2013, I visited the WTC
Memorial for the first time.
I walked
around the two ponds which were the base of the former Twin Towers looking at
all the names that are etched in it, on thick bronze plates, and not seeing any
one I knew, which was a relieve.
I shot
many photos but not any video because my camcorder broke; and I also forgot to
do some sketches which I did on my travel across the country.
These
will be good reasons for me to want to return to the country and city and
Memorial which I hope to happen soon once I had renewed my visa which I had
been given that I could use for ten years.
I was
given one which was good for a lifetime and for free but after 911 it was
shortened to ten years.
The
first time I looked from the Empire State Building
in midtown Manhattan
the towers were standing proudly, barely few years ago after it was completed.
I then
managed to go up to the rooftop observatory in the summer of 1981 to see a view
of the entire city spread all around me. Now the view is gone, bombed by two
commercial airplanes, American-owned no doubt.
And in
their places are now two ponds where the names of the more than three thousand
persons who perished in the crash of the Twin Towers are etched, some are Arabs
and other Muslims including a few Malaysians.
I still
have the tickets, one in red and the other orange, I got to go up to the
rooftop observatory of the South Tower or Tower Two, which was opened to the public, which
the WTC Memorial Museum
does not seem to have. And no one has ever posted them in the internet or their
website for everybody to see how they look like.
So
despite the WTC having given scores of million of that to their visitors since
the South Tower or Tower Two, not many, if ever, have been saved. Mine may be
the only two left.
Everybody
must have thrown away the tickets after using them to enter the South Tower
without realizing that some day in the near future this and the North Tower
would collapse in a pile of dust that had created a storm that is still being
felt till today.
The more
than three thousand persons may have died in the crash of the Twin Towers
but the story of how they feel still lives on…with no certainty of how that had
happened.
And what
have America
and the Americans learnt from 911 till now? Not much. And they can never ever
learn anything from it.
Not
because they are not able to discern anything from what had happened more than
fourteen years ago, but because they know they can never find out truly why it
happened in the first place.
Assassinating
Osama bin Laden and some of the top leaders of Al-Qaeda have not done much to
assuage everybody especially the conspiracy theorists.
Maybe
the problem with America is
how the White House is too dependent on the Lobbyists especially the Zionist
Lobbyists in Washington DC who had done a lot of harm than good.
And the
lobbyists in Washington DC
have been known to only care for their own interests and those of the Zionist
state of Israel .
So in
the end the voters who had turned in their president cannot be given the power
to decide their own fate and that of their own country, but that of the Zionist
state alone.
Lobbying
is also another form of corruption. Yet, the Americans do not realize this and
allow the groups to continue to exist even when they are suffering more with
each time they succeed in shaping and reshaping the foreign policies of their
country.
In the
end America
can be charged for being a proxy state of the Zionist state that does its
bidding in the United Nations Security Council and General Assembly and other
international forums.
And America too has
not practiced what it tries to preach when they misuse their veto power in the
United Nations to purposely cause harm on many innocent countries just because
they are ordered to by the Zionist leaders and the Lobbyists.
What America
desperately needs are a new set of political, social and cultural system that
suit the present era to serve the majority.
