Professor: Victims of Setp. 11 Attacks “Were Not Innocent”
Thursday, January 27th, 2005It is amazing what passes for “academic thought” these days:
Churchill’s essay argues that the Sept. 11 attacks were in retaliation for the Iraqi children killed in a 1991 U.S. bombing raid and by economic sanctions imposed on Iraq by the United Nations following the Persian Gulf War.
The essay contends the hijackers who crashed airplanes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on Sept. 11 were “combat teams,” not terrorists.
It states: “The most that can honestly be said of those involved on Sept. 11 is that they finally responded in kind to some of what this country has dispensed to their people as a matter of course.”
The essay maintains that the people killed inside the Pentagon were “military targets.”
“As for those in the World Trade Center,” the essay said, “well, really, let’s get a grip here, shall we? True enough, they were civilians of a sort. But innocent? Gimme a break.”
The essay goes on to describe the victims as “little Eichmanns,” referring to Adolph Eichmann, who executed Adolph Hitler’s plan to exterminate Jews during World War II.
Remember, now, these are the people that are teaching our next generation of adults. Kids in college, who don’t know enough to question this junk, are being exposed to this type of thinking, and only this type of thinking, on a daily basis. Is it any wonder why college students today are prone to binge drinking, sex parties, and communist rallies? The only point of view they are taught is the liberal point of view. The only experiences professors draw on are their 60′s experiences with drugs and the counter-culture.
Here’s a picture of Ward Churchill, the professor who wrote the paper in question:
Okay, I dare you to tell me that this guy isn’t a die-hard liberal with a leftist agenda.
Churchill said he was not especially surprised at the controversy at Hamilton, but he also defended the opinions contained in his essay.
“When you kill 500,000 children in order to impose your will on other countries, then you shouldn’t be surprised when somebody responds in kind,” Churchill said.
“If it’s not comfortable, that’s the point. It’s not comfortable for the people on the other side, either.”
The attacks on Sept. 11, he said, were “a natural and inevitable consequence of what happens as a result of business as usual in the United States. Wake up.”
I know that there were some civilians killed in the first Gulf War, but I’m certain that the number of children killed by American troops was far, far less than 500,000. Actually, Ward, you’re an academic, so please furnish me your source material to back up this claim. Go ahead, I’ll wait.
Of course, you knew that this was coming:
A longtime activist with the American Indian Movement, Churchill was one of eight defendants acquitted last week in Denver County Court on charges of disrupting Denver’s Columbus Day parade.
Why is it that the only thing these 60′s rejects are known for is protesting at the drop of a hat? If you list the titles of the books he’s written, you get this:
Little Matter of Genocide – Holocaust and Denial in the Americas – 1492 to Present.
The Cointelpro Papers – Documents From the FBI Secret Wars Against Domestic Dissent.
Agents of Repression – The FBI Secret Wars Against the Black Panther Party and the American Indian Movement.
Indians R Us – Culture and Genocide in Native North America.
Fantasies of the Master Race – Literature, Cinema and Colonization of American Indians.
Pacifism as Pathology – Reflections on the Role of Armed Struggle in North America.
And the upcoming book -
Islands in Captivity – The Overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii by the United States Government.
I’ve been saying this for years now, the stranglehold that the left has on the education of American Youth is going to haunt our future. There is no way that the United States will be able to maintain its traditions and values in the future if the only education they get is from leftist idiots like this.

“Haunt the future”…good way to put it. You are, of course, correct. It’s just so…horrible. What is wrong with these guys, anyhow? And those skulls full o’ mush just absorb the hate – when they think they are learning tolerance!

There is a good story about how the figure got to 500,000 dead children as a result of sanctions. Start with John Pilger and work your way back to Bagdad Bob.

Some of you folks have no idea of the history of what is know called the USA – Turtle Island to the indigenous people that were genocided away by our ancestors. This crime against humanity is never discussed in the national debate. And it still goes on. Check out http://www.blackmesais.org/ if you don’t believe me. When we ‘Americans’ come out of our denial that we ‘settlers’ live on occcupied territory, make reparations and move on, the world will cease to be a permanently war-ravaged place. The USA’s largest industrial export is weaponry. WE NEED WAR. Therefore we always need an enemy. Do you see the sickness in all this?
Ward Churchill (who is a native) is right when he says what he says. The ghosts of genocidal American imperialism have come home to roost. Those planes were full of ghosts from Korea to Vietnam to Central and South America to the Middle East. The sanctions on Iraq under the Crime-Bill Clinton regime had killed 565,000 children as documented by UNICEF. The sanctions also killed nearly a million adults. We sit back in our palaces, drive our massive SUV’s, eat caviar and listen to the crap propaganda of pundits like O’Reilly and drugged-up people like Limbaugh and cynically ask “Why do they hate us so much?” Ignorance is the most dangerous WMD ever created, far worse than nukes, and ‘Americans’ are the most ignorant poeple in the world.
One day you will all understand that Uncle Sam is your enemy unless you are white and rich (in dollars vs integrity). He is the enemy of all ‘foreigners’ that are not rich and one day he will burn because of it. The sooner the better.
He prays to the God of $$$, the golden calf. When Arabs call him ‘The Great Satan’ they have years of genocidal proof and theft of other’s lands and resources to back up their claim.
Wake up people or we will all go down.
