So should you. Occupy Wall Street was given a permit for the same space for the whole day on Saturday. The Mllion Muslim March was granted a permit in DC on 9/11 -- the bikers were not. America, take a stand.
The memorial and press conference will begin at 1PM at the southwest corner of Zuccotti Park, at Trinity Place and Cedar streets in lower Manhattan. Take the subway. The best way to get down there.
1) take the 4 or 5 downtown to Fulton and Broadway and then walk south on Broadway about three blocks to Zuccotti Park.
2) take the 1 train down to Rector St, walk 1 block east to Trinity Place, make a left going north and then about 3 blocks up to park.
NEW YORK, August 21 -- The human rights organization the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI), a group of 9/11 family members, and noted human rights activists are holding a joint press conference and memorial service at Ground Zero in New York City on September 11, 2013, the twelfth anniversary of the 9/11 jihad terror attacks.
The press conference will be hosted by AFDI’s Executive Pamela Geller and Associate Director Robert Spencer. Featured speakers will be 9/11 family members Rosaleen Talon and Nelly Braginsky, 9/11 first responder Alan T. DeVona, Sudanese human rights activist Simon Deng, and Coptic Christian human rights activist Ashraf Ramelah.
Nelly Braginsky is the mother of Alexander Braginsky, who was killed also killed at the WTC on 9/11. Alan T. DeVona was the Port Authority Police Department World Trade Center Patrol Sergeant at the time of the 9/11 jihad attack.
Deng and Ramelah will explain how the appeasement of jihadists and Islamic supremacists such as is represented by the direction of the National September 11 Memorial and Museum only aids and abets the wholesale persecution of non-Muslims in Sudan, Egypt and elsewhere.
Geller said in a statement: “The Million Muslim March on 9/11 in Washington is an attempt to obscure the reality of what happened on 9/11, portray Muslims as victims, and intimidate government and law enforcement officials into ending surveillance of suspected jihadists. Our memorial and press conference puts the focus back where it should be: on the victims of 9/11, and our need to be vigilant in the face of the ongoing jihad threat.”
The press conference will advocate for the honorable and respectful interment of unidentified 9/11 human remains at Ground Zero – not inside the Museum, as planned. Nearly a decade ago, 9/11 families were promised in writing by the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation (LMDC) in 2003 that these remains would be located in a “separate and distinct repository – separate from any museum or visitor center.” But city officials and the Museum directors reneged on that promise, and plan to place 9,000 unidentified remains 70 feet (seven stories) below ground – where their relatives will be charged $25 admission to visit.
The press conference will also address the non-patriotic theme of the National September 11 Memorial and Museum, including the absence of American flags on the site (there is only one flag at the site, and that one was originally put up by construction workers and then moved to the edge of the site where it can barely be seen at all). This is consistent with the initial rejection by National September 11 Memorial and Museum creative director Michael Shulan’s initial rejection of the iconic flag-raising photo in the Museum, complaining that it was “too rah-rah American.”
Press conference speakers will also note the fact that the photos of the 9/11 jihad terrorists, plus their martyrdom quotes, will be prominently displayed in the Museum, while information on the victims will be in a kiosk, much less prominently displayed. The
victims’ photos will be twelve feet above the floor on one wall (3,000-plus photos), while those of the 19 jihadis will have their own wall, with their murderous statements and artifacts at eye level.
Geller concluded: “We will be calling upon the federal government to take over the administration of the National September 11 Memorial and Museum. It should be a national museum. 9/11 family members should not have to pay $25 to visit the remains of 9,000 victims deep underground.”
