It was then that the similarity between this flag rising and what had occurred at MT Surabachi struck me. This is to my knowledge the very first flag raising at the WTC site. The irony of this, is that much like the first flag raising, the flag raising which displayed the firemen, was actually the second one.

TomPaine Story TomPaine Story: Story The event of September 11th was a terrible tragedy that deeply scarred the nation and developed the realization that unity was the only answer. September 11th definitely was a wake up call for the US in that the country was no longer seen as invincible; therefore, Americans realized that they had to work together to build up to a more perfect union. As a result of this tragedy, the fact that unity was gained was the only positive rising, but unfortunately it was short lived. After the Twin Towers collapsed Americans united in a way that hadn t been done since the Gulf War. Citizens responded to the needs of fellow Americans and began aiding one another in various ways. Millions of dollars derived from donations of both the rich and less fortunate were collected to assist the victims. Clothing as well as other need supplies were also contributed. Americans also began to express their unity by demonstrating their patriotism. The American flag regained a sense of respect and pride, which had been long forgotten. It seemed that everywhere you looked flags appeared, whether it was outside homes, on vehicles, bumper stickers, shirts, etc. Slogans that read United We Stand became popular as well and seemed to ease the pain and sorrow of others by giving them strength. This unity of Americans, as I predicted, did not last long. Cries of the needy seemed to have been forgotten, and the spirit of giving vanished. It s sad to realize that the only way people in this country help one another is for a tragedy to occur. I hope that after September 11th people can realize how being a charitable person can improve the state and well being of our nation because it creates the answer, unity.

My son was in college in NYC; my sister lives in DC. Fear felt that morning seemed similar to what Id read about WWII bombings. The world was in chaos. That same pallor of anxiety seemed to give way to grief for most. People slowly picked up the pieces of their lives, but now with an urgency that Americans needed to know more, to understand more, and even to accept more of this world from which they had been so insulated. Many prayed for wisdom, an odd virtue in this day and age, which was needed to get out of this mess. Wisdom and patience. Foreign words for Americans used to instant gratification, but words, nonetheless, which calmed. Out of the ashes of 9/ll Americans realized we were vulnerable, yet resilient. Our strength, being a nation of immigrants, lay in our ability to be innovative, even in our politics. If the US could build a coalition around the world, our foreign policy could reflect that aspect of our character, mainly our melting pot hearts, where we do stand as one when threatened. Our optimistic nature could surely help promote democracy; our strong systems would survive intact. It appeared we could do it without being the bully, the Superpower policemen. Bushs unilateral foreign policy became obsolete, overnight. It looked we actually were able to build a better world using wisdom and patience, not simply reactions. Lately between the insane jargon of attacking Iraq, and an out of control Justice Dept. Im not sure where were headed. The democracy known to us will only be strengthened through out own participation in it. Each individuals actions will help steady the course of our future foreign policy, and maintenance of our democratic institutions. Hopefully, Wisdom and Patience will be our legacy to the future.

TomPaine Story TomPaine Story: Story The dreadful attacks on the US have been seized by the Bush administration to provide a defining mission that otherwise would be missing. The socalled ""War on Terrorism"" is broadly defined so as to justify many different actions , both domestically and abroad, by Bush and his followers. The rights of citizens are being abridged or threatened. A foolish war against Iraq continues to be posed by Bushniks in power. And the murder of US innocents is used as an excuse to ignore more basic issues at home, like the lack of universal health care (the US is the only advanced industrialized country that does not base access to care upon medical need, just ability to pay), corporate corruption, and economic uncertainty. The large increases in defense spending will not have the economically stimulative effect of other kinds of spending, which tends to cycle more of the spending throughout other parts of the economy. Lastly, the specter of fear and loathing that the Bushniks have created serves to distract us from the intellectual emptiness of an administration whose main accomplishment has been to pass a tax cut which will mostly benefit the wealthiest 1% and neglect the rest of us. And the circumstances whereby this unelected President has been foisted upon us by a Republican-dominated Supreme Court in a penultimate act of lawlessness are of course beyond comment in the society which Bush has led us to.

TomPaine Story TomPaine Story: Story Labor Paper September 11, 2001 Brothers and Sisters, it is with a heavy heart that I sit down to write this article tonight. The date at the top of this page (September 11, 2001) will undoubtedly be burned into the memories of the American people, much in the same way December 7th 1941 was, following the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. I am sitting in a hotel room in San Francisco that was evacuated earlier today under a bomb threat. The threat proved to be false and unrelated to todays events, but it certainly scarred a lot of people who were already in a state of shock. As I look out my window at sunset, I can see two American flags at half mast by order of Governor Gray Davis, who welcomed us to California yesterday morning. President Denny Shelton, Brothers Steve Munton, Don Funk and I are out here attending the 36th IBEW International Convention. This Convention, which draws our Brotherhood together from the United States and Canada, has most certainly been disrupted. Convention delegates this morning watched in horror as all the giant screens at the Moscone Center carried the unfolding news reports. Numbers of delegates scrambled for their cell phones to contact friends and families as they learned for the first time what was going on in New York and Washington D.C.. President Ed Hill opened the Convention calling for a moment of silent prayer for the victims and their families. President Hill informed the delegates that he had contacted the American Red Cross to invite them to set up for donations at the Convention Center. Following a moving invocation by Reverend Cecil Williams, President Hill proceeded with Convention business for a brief time. When the report of the local bomb threat was received, President Hill adjourned the morning session, and released all delegates to seek out and assist their spouses, many of which were being evacuated from the Renaissance Hotel at that moment. I believe it is important to note here, the Convention reconvened this afternoon and conducted business. This is significant, not because the IBEW delegates went back to the work before them. It is significant, because American and Canadian electrical workers, who were briefly stopped in their tracks, once again moved forward together. This is exactly what each and every person who loves freedom must do in defiance of those who would attempt to terrorize us into hysteria. President Franklin D. Roosevelts words still ring true today when he said, The only thing we have to fear is, fear itself. We must all realize that to live if fear is a choice. Some nameless, faceless, cowards, want to make that choice for us. They want to hold us hostage with their spineless, gutless, slaughter of innocent men, women, and children. It is not their choice. We will not live in fear, because we choose not to. Instead, we will rise up with those who love and cherish freedom. Throughout our history brave men and women have proved time and time again that freedom, and the love of freedom, is just as important as life itself. Many, so many, have sacrificed their very lives for this freedom in the past. Those of us that draw a free breath today, owe these patriots who have gone before us, and yes, we owe it to the lives that were lost today, to not bend in the face of terror. We must instead resolve to hunt down the perpetrators of terror and serve them a swift full measure of justice. In times like these its easy to feel helpless and somewhat removed from the events of today. I urge everyone to consider giving blood immediately. You can get into this fight by rolling up your sleeve for your fellow countrymen. Most importantly, in complete and total defiance of terror, go back to your daily routine with a renewed appreciation for your freedoms and this country we are blessed to live in. Our world was changed forever today, but the things that make this country great have not changed one iota, and the price of freedom has never been free.

TomPaine Story TomPaine Story: Story TOWARD A MORE PERFECT UNION: Going Forward with Fundamentals in Patriotism Education 9/11 led to more therapy than learning in US classrooms in the three months after the terrorist attacks. Though not denying that children needed therapy to feel safe and see the attacks in perspective, my research of patriotism during those three months showed that it was a superficial patriotism that was being practiced in the nations schools. 9/11/02 does not augur well in becoming a commemoration that would energize the nation towards a more perfect union with itself, with other nations, with life on the planet. For New Yorks Mayor and Governor and competing democrats are to read historical documents without leading the City and the nation in reflection about lessons learned. I for one would like to see those and other politicians growing to become more of statesmen and stateswomen who are able to articulate events and trends within a vision a sustainable future not only for the nation and for humankind, but also the Earth community as a whole. Within such vision authentic patriotism can grow: blossoming forth from love of country it will include an ever-widening circle of concern for people and planet. It would be part of a critical patriotism curriculum that challenges students to go forward with fundamentals. Fortunately, a large part of that vision of a sustainable future for the Earth community has emerged during the last ten years since humankind started its reexamination of its habitation on the Earth at the Rio Earth Summit in June 1992. Hopefully, its successor summit at Johannesburg about a week ago will have accepted the Earth Charter Initiative which is humankinds and the Earths best hope for a sustainable and sustaining future, being as it is an integrated ethical vision for social and ecological peace.

TomPaine Story TomPaine Story: Story War and Civil Liberties A time of war is the wrong time to weaken the presidents ability to protect the American people," President Bush recently stated, threatening to veto a bill containing standard labor protections for civil servants. This rhetoric is hardly unique: since September 11, the Bush administration has consistently advocated the restriction of civil liberties -- for citizens and civil servants alike -- on the grounds that traditional liberties must be sacrificed in a time of "war." Contrary to popular belief, however, wars do not inevitably lead to restrictions on civil liberties. In fact, some of the greatest gains in civil liberties in this country have come in the wake of wars and their liberalizing rhetoric. But only some wars. The Revolution, Civil War, and WWII all led to great expansions of liberty. In the wake of the Revolution, opponents of slavery used its principles -- liberty and equality -- to attack slavery throughout the North, and even in the South. The war expanded suffrage, and inspired declarations of rights throughout the states. During the Civil War -- initially fought to preserve the Union -- white and black leaders astutely manipulated wartime rhetoric to render the war into a battle for the emancipation of slavery. The War transformed the meaning of American liberty itself, a "new birth of freedom" that left us the 13th and 14th Constitutional amendments -- which (notwithstanding creative interpretation by conservative justices today) continue to preserve American civil liberties. World War II had a similar result. Cast as a struggle for worlds freedom, it undermined the moral legitimacy of Jim Crow segregation. Other wars, however, have had precisely the opposite effect. The Mexican-American war of 1846-1848 opened vast new territories for the expansion of slavery, and accelerated the genocidal extermination of Native Americans. The invasion of Cuba and the Philippines in the Spanish-American war buttressed a growing racial ideology at home, legitimating Jim Crow segregation and strict racial quotas on immigration. These imperialist wars bolstered the racial and exclusive elements always lurking in American nationalism. A third type of war -- call them quasi wars -- particularly damaged civil liberties. In the 1790s, fear that foreign subversives might try to overthrow the fragile new republic led to the Alien and Sedition Acts, the first massive crackdown on civil liberties. The Cold War similarly resulted in the suppression of civil liberties at home, particularly those whose politics fell outside a newly defined "liberal" consensus. These wars invited political demagoguery, leading to the criminalization of ideology, and restricting the scope of political discourse itself. * * * After September 11 the nation appeared to launch a new "war of liberation," which held the tantalizing possibility of bolstering the much-faded inclusive strands of American nationalism. Working people -- the firemen who died saving bankers, union workers volunteering at Ground Zero -- were celebrated. President Bush even deployed a unifying rhetoric, calling for shared sacrifice and warning against the targeting of Arabs and other minorities. One might even have imagined a nation that would support increasing the job security of these brave men and women. That potential soon faded, however. Wars can lead to social and political progress -- or they can lead to regression from which our country recovers only slowly. It is the character of our leaders that shapes the outcome. Sadly, we lack an Abraham Lincoln or Franklin Roosevelt, a Frederick Douglass or Martin Luther King, a figure who could marshal the civic, inclusive strains of American patriotism today. The rhetoric of sacrifice, which briefly bloomed after September 11, disappeared in the squalid drive to cut corporate and estate taxes, and to abrogate international treaties and multilateral action. The fight against terrorism now looks vastly different from the liberating wars, and begins to imitate imperialist and quasi wars. Like the quasi wars, this "war" remains undeclared, and of dubious Constitutionality. The President even contemplates attacking a country that has not attacked us, ignoring all constitutional requirements. Meanwhile, the government issues repeated warnings of terror, seeking to subvert political dissent and generate support for its policies. We now face the specter of perpetual war, against whatever enemy the government fingers, justifying aggression abroad and suppression of civil liberties at home. It is the mirror image of the Civil War: September 11 has been transformed from an event that might have bolstered the civic and liberating forces in American life into one that bolsters reaction and exclusion. This was not inevitable. Reactionary patriotism is not inherent to all wars. The current state of affairs has resulted from the clever and largely uncontested manipulation by the Bush administration to define this "war" for its short-term political interests. Meanwhile the opposition remains silent, retreating behind a shallow and cowardly patriotism, squinting at polls, and biding their time. Ironically, by assuming that American nationalism is inherently reactionary, leaders of the left underestimate its liberating potential as well as their own ability to alter the course of events. They cower before the devils they see in us, rather than touching the better angels of our nature.

TomPaine Story TomPaine Story: Story September 11 is a day that I believe no one, whether in or out of the United States, will ever forget. I think that as Americans we thought nothing to that extent would ever happen in our country. We felt safe. We would turn on our television sets and all we would view was violence in other countries, never believing it would happen to us. Once we all opened our eyes we realized that the safeness and security we felt wasnt really there at all. I recently flew to New York, Boston, and Washington D.C. to take a tour of the Ivy League schools in the area. I was nervous to begin with since it was my first time flying. It was also just nine months after September 11. We departed from D.C. The moment I felt nervous was when I spotted a Middle Eastern man passing through security. Suddenly the images of Osama bin Laden played back in my mind over and over. This man looked very much like him, a white turban upon his head and the thick dark beard. When I saw him pass through security without any problems I began to feel nervous. "What if he is hiding something in his turban?" "What if he is on the same flight I am on?" These questions kept reoccurring in my head. I have never been a racist of any kind. Why was I thinking like this? I was scared. I realize now that we act differently towards others who dont live like us or look like us. We are now judgmental of others more than ever. "But why should we be?" I ask. So my lesson learned? When it comes down to it we are all the same; we are all human. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

TomPaine Story TomPaine Story: Story Waiting for the Next Reichstag Fire On February 22 1933 a deranged communist, Marinus van der Lubbe, 24, from Holland attempted to strike a blow against capitalism by burning down the German Reichstag. German Chancellor Adolph Hitler's SA agents knew about his plan but instead of preventing him they were concerned that the fire he set wouldn't be effective. So while Marinus was upstairs setting his fire SA Storm Troopers under Karl Ernst, entered the Reichstag basement through a tunnel connected to Herman Goering's residence and distributed enough gasoline and incendiaries around to ensure a good blaze. After the Reichstag had burned and Van der Lubbe had been captured, an incensed Hitler told his nation ""The German people have been soft too long. Every Communist official must be shot. All Communist deputies must be hanged this very night. All friends of the Communists must be locked up. And that goes for the Social Democrats and the Reichsbanner as well!"" The next day he issued the following proclamation; ""Restrictions on personal liberty, on the right of free expression of opinion, including freedom of the press; on the rights of assembly and association; and violations of the privacy of postal, telegraphic and telephonic communications and warrants for house searches, orders for confiscation's as well as restrictions on property, are also permissible beyond the legal limits otherwise prescribed."" He went on to slaughter millions of dissidents, Jews, and other people that he didn't care for and lead his country into a World War that ended in a bloody, disastrous, and humiliating defeat. On September 11, 2001 a group of religious zealots hijacked some airliners and flew them into the Twin Towers in New York and the Pentagon in Washington DC, killing about three thousand people including themselves. Following this, President Bush asked for and received passage of the ironically named USA Patriot Act, which contains the following provisions. - Allows for indefinite detention of non-citizens who are not terrorists on minor visa violations. Since the Constitution doesn't distinguish between citizens and non-citizens this undermines Constitutional protections of all citizens. - Allows the Attorney General and the Secretary of State to designate groups as "terrorist" without specifying just what a "terrorist" is. - Allows the government to conduct secret searches of homes and business. - Allows for trial of suspected terrorists by secret military courts. - Greatly reduces individual rights of privacy in communications. - Creates the new crime of ""domestic terrorism"" which is so broadly defined as to include any dissident group. President Bush also took the opportunity to get a blank check from Congress to make war on any nation that ""harbored terrorists"" - blithely ignoring the fact that the CIA is demonstrably the biggest terrorist organization on earth and his own father, George Bush Sr. was at it's head when it committed some of its most heinous crimes. He then sent the entire weight of the American military against Afghanistan because it was harboring Osama bin Layden although there was no proof that bin Layden or Afghanistan had anything to do with the September 11 attack. The attack was productive in other ways though; oil interests, to whom Bush has close ties, had long desired control of, and access to, the great oil and natural gas reserves in the Caspian Sea area, but this was prevented by a constant state of political turmoil. One way to reduce the political problems is to bomb the population and infrastructure into a condition that wouldn't allow them to resist oil company domination. In the aftermath of the September 11 attacks some Americans feel that there are questions that should have been answered and aren't receiving the attention they deserve. One, is the question of why the plane that hit the Pentagon wasn't shot down? There was almost a full hour between the attack on the first tower and the attack on the Pentagon, where was the Air Force? It is standard operational procedure to intercept and interrogate civilian aircraft that are off course. Any nation with a military establishment has secrets that it wants to keep and even a civilian airliner can carry spy gear - or a bomb. Some years ago the USSR shot down a civilian airliner under such circumstances. During the hour that elapsed between the first attack and the last it had become obvious that we were under attack and all civilian aircraft had been ordered grounded. The lone airliner cruising through the thick East Coast air defenses toward the Pentagon would have been easily detected. Why wasn't it intercepted and shot down? The FBI is displaying an unseemly reluctance to discover who did the anthrax mailings. It has been established that the weapons grade anthrax found in the envelopes was made in the USA at the facility at Dugway Utah. How did it find it way out of this high security area into the envelopes that were mailed to leading Democratic Senators and news people? It also seems that American intelligence organizations were warned of an impending terrorist attack by French, Israeli and Egyptian intelligence. Why were these warnings ignored - or were they? These questions and many others concerning September 11 have not been satisfactorily addressed by the Bush administration. Unanswered questions like these and the all out attack on civil liberties have caused a certain stiffening of what passes for a spine among the corporate whores that infest Congress and future increases of federal power at the expense of the Constitution may be more difficult to push through. The Reichstag Fire had increased Hitler's power and authority tremendously - but it still wasn't enough. Hitler wanted total control. With an election scheduled for March 5 1934 he had an opportunity to take it. Accordingly, the Nazis made an all out attempt to win a majority in the Reichstag so they could get an ironically named ""Law for Removing the Distress of the People and the Reich"" passed. This act would confer on Hitler the constitutional functions of the Reichstag including, the power to make laws, control of the budget and the ability to make treaties with foreign governments. Political enemies were arrested by the thousands and put in hastily constructed prisons. Old Army barracks and abandoned factories were converted to this purpose and thus was begun the concentration camp system. Large donations were solicited, and received, from industrial organizations like Krupp and I.G. Farben. But in spite of an energetic and well-executed campaign the Nazis didn't win the majority they needed to pass the act. They were undeterred however, and when the newly elected Reichstag convened in the Kroll Opera House on March 23, they packed it inside and out with SA Storm Troopers. And with Storm Troopers on the outside chanting slogans like ""Full powers - or else! We want the bill - or fire and murder!"" and Hitler lying on the inside with statements like ""The government will make use of these powers only insofar as they are essential for carrying out vitally necessary measures..."" and promises to promote peace with France, Great Britain and the Soviet Union; the measure passed and Hitler became dictator of Germany. For Bush all of the pieces are in place. An apathetic populace, completely under the spell of the corporate media and so discouraged with the corrupt political processes that only about half turn out for presidential elections; a degenerate Congress whose members are fit only for toadying to special interests and lying to their constituencies; a huge military establishment without a draftee in it and completely barren of democratic thoughts or ideals. A large and growing prison system created under the phony War on Drugs. And finally, the newly created, heavily funded, Office of Home Security, ready to become his own personal police force immediately after the next attack. Everything is ready, and all he needs to sweep away the last vestiges of a government ""of, by and for the people"" in America is the next Reichstag Fire.

TomPaine Story TomPaine Story: Story The Top Ten Ironies 9-11-01 The difficulties in narrowing down the ten most ironic things over the past year were enormous. Almost everything that happened was ironic. Unfortunately, many grand ironies failed to make the list; the similarities in the rhetoric among various different religious fundamentalists (e.g; Falwell and bin Laden), our good relations with some countries which are known to harbor terrorists (Pakistan, England, France, etc.), or a Jewish man screaming over and over; ""NO MORE ARABS, NO MORE TERRORISTS!"" after a suicide bombing - to name but a few. Admittedly, this list is imperfect. I apologize, in advance, if your favorite irony did not make the list. 10- Bush's new immigration policy places increased restrictions and requirements on people from several nations entering the U.S. but excludes Saudis, who made up the largest group of terrorists on 9-11. Don't mind him; he's one of us. 9- The Bush administration's reluctance to review ""what went wrong"" on 9-11 in favor of pursuing policies of previous Republican agendas - which would not have prevented the attacks in the first place - as a method of solving the problem. The light is better over here. 8- The Justice Department decides to cloak the statues of The Spirit of Justice and The Majesty of Justice behind a curtain as they dispense justice from behind closed doors. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain! 7- Bush says that the terrorists hate us for our liberties and freedoms so - to protect us from the results of their hatred - the government restricts our liberties and freedoms. Anything you can do, I can do better. 6- The name of the Bill passed doing the most damage to our liberties and freedoms is called the ""Patriot"" Act. War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength... 5- Osama bin Laden intends to start a holy war and Bush decides the best thing to do is play into his hands (Crusade against Evil-doers - Operation: Infinite Justice - Axis of Evil - War with Iraq...). Wait, let me get that for you! 4- Most religions have a Golden Rule equivalent, but almost no one lives by it...[including many Christians, who seem to think WWJD? means dropping bombs on your enemies and anyone else (innocent or not) who gets in the way (#4 in irony, #1 in hypocrisy)]. Do unto others before they do unto you. 3- That many of those that got us into this economic and political mess are the ones running the government and offering the solutions. The fox is guarding the hen house. 2- Bush declares a war on terrorism. When I say a word it means just what I want it to mean... nothing more, nothing less. 1- The suggestion that irony was dead.

TomPaine Story TomPaine Story: Story September 11, 2001 was a tragic event that will remain in the minds and hearts of many for various reasons. Our nation to this day is still in shock on how the so-called most dominant country in the world could receive a blow of this magnitude. After this catastrophic event took place, our government seemed to be at a stand still for a long period of time. It was like as if they were just as surprised as the American people. After things seem to clear up, that is when our so-called invincible government began to take action. Now all of a sudden our leaders are placing an abundant amount of attention towards national security, when they should have been doing that in the first place. I feel that it took something like a terrorists attack to knock the United States off of it s high horse and for our democracy to begin to notice that maybe we are not as feared as we thought we were. On the other hand, the people of this great nation found a way to unite and function as one even when our government seemed to have no answers for what was going on. When I opened my eyes all I could see was unity among the American people and this was just about the only thing that seemed to benefit our country because before this the people of this nation seemed to be only about themselves. Im not going to say that Im glad September 11, 2001 took place but, to be optimistic I must say that it has gathered the people along with myself to notice that without each other this country can no longer be as prosperous as it has ever been.
