Two Memorial Project commissioners quit over the Project’s bad behavior

Two Pennsylvanian’s quit the Flight 93 Memorial Commission <a href="http://www.tribdem.com/local/local_story_132235448.html">last
week</a>, protesting Park Service plans to condemn five crash-site properties
that it never negotiated for in good faith. Consider the case of the <a href="http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/news/breaking/s_624048.html">Lambert</a>
family, who have been on their land for three generations:<blockquote>"It's
absolutely a surprise. I'm shocked by it. I'm disappointed by it," said Tim
Lambert, who owns nearly 164 acres that his grandfather bought in the 1930s. The
park service plans to condemn two parcels totaling about five acres — land, he
said, he had always intended to donate for the memorial.
"To the best of my knowledge and my lawyer, absolutely no negotiations have
taken place with the park service where we've sat down and discussed this,"
Lambert said.
Lambert said he had mainly dealt with the Families of Flight 93 and said he's
provided the group all the information it's asked for, including an appraisal.</blockquote>They
are condemning land that he was trying to GIVE to them, just because he had the
gall to expect the Park Service to actually do its part.
<strong>Project members have embraced the “absolute moral authority”
conceit</strong>
How dare anyone not rush to give these grieving 9/11 family members whatever
they want? Didn’t they hear Maureen Dowd’s <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2005/08/10/opinion/10dowd.html">proclamation</a>
that “the moral authority of parents who bury children killed in Iraq [or on
9/11] is absolute”?
When crash-site owner Mike Svonavec put up a donation box to try to cover some
of the cost of hiring security guards for the hugely popular Temporary Memorial,
Patrick White, cousin of Flight 93 hero <a href="http://www.flight93memorialsfb.com/Heros-Of-Flight-93/pages/Louis-Nacke_jpg.htm">Louis
Nacke</a>, told the press:<blockquote>That land has been <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,278477,00.html">paid
for</a> with 40 lives ... the donation box is an insult to that cost.</blockquote>When
Svonavec insisted that the Park Service follow its own legally required
procedures for assessing property values (procedures that, as it happens, take
into account current property values, not just pre-crash property values), White
accused Svonavec of trying to profit from the blood of his cousin:<blockquote>"I
think Svonavec believes his land, because it has the blood of my cousin and 39
other people, it's worth more," he said.</blockquote>
<strong>Using the flag of victim-hood to defend Paul Murdoch’s terrorist
memorial mosque</strong>
Project members use the same trick to deflect criticism of the giant
Islamic-shaped crescent that is now being built on the crash-site. When people
point out the hidden terrorist memorializing features—things that no one knew
about when the Crescent of Embrace design was chosen—like the <a href="http://www.crescentofbetrayal.com/VerifyingMeccaOrientation.htm">Mecca-orientation</a>
of the giant crescent, or the <a href="http://www.crescentofbetrayal.com/VerifyingThe44Blocks.htm">44
glass blocks</a> emplaced along the flight path, Project members not only deny
these easy to verify facts, but they pretend that they are being accused of <em>intending</em>
to honor the terrorists:<blockquote>“That’s an absolute, unequivocal fabrication
that is being portrayed as fact,” <a href="http://www.poconorecord.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080502/NEWS/80502017/">said</a>
Edward Felt’s brother, Gordon Felt [about the 44 blocks claim].
He says he is insulted people would believe he would participate in anything
that honored his brother's killers.</blockquote>In <em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Godless-Church-Liberalism-Ann-Coulter/dp/1400054206">The
Church of Liberalism</a></em>, Ann Coulter slammed the media for granting the
Jersey Girls an “absolute moral authority” card, not questioning the Girls’
practice of <a href="http://www.opinionjournal.com/medialog/?id=110004950">blaming
the Bush administration</a> instead of al Qaeda for their husband's deaths on
9/11. The Jersey Girls were bad enough, but nowhere is the flag of victim-hood
being used to cover up more bad behavior than at the Memorial Project.
<strong>Active cover-up of an ongoing Islamic supremacist plot</strong>
Like the Jersey Girls, the Memorial Project gives Islam a pass for 9/11. Project
members might not have known about the Mecca-orientation of the Crescent of
Embrace, but they DID know that it was a giant Islamic-shaped crescent. Now they
are doing far worse. Now they DO know that the giant crescent points almost
exactly at Mecca, and are consistently misleading the press about it.
Their own Muslim consultant told them not to worry about the Mecca-oriented
crescent, <a href="http://creepingsharia.wordpress.com/2009/05/13/saudi-authorities-contradict-u-s-park-service-on-flight-93-memorials-islamic-design/">claiming</a>
that it can’t be seen as a <em>mihrab</em> (the Mecca-direction indicator around
which every mosque is built) unless it points EXACTLY at Mecca (a claim that was
<a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7984556.stm">contradicted</a>
earlier this month by Saudi religious authorities).
So what does Project Supervisor Joanne Hanley <a href="http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/07230/810465-85.stm">say</a>
when asked about the Mecca-orientation claim?<blockquote>The only thing that
orients the memorial is the crash site.</blockquote>They are actively and
knowingly covering up clear evidence of an ongoing al Qaeda sympathizing plot.
Bad behavior indeed.
