Another September 11th comes and goes, and no terrorist attack on our country since that day. My prayers go out to President Bush, who has certainly done something right to prevent further terrorist attacks. It's not that people who hate us and wish us wiped off the face of the earth aren't trying. They're disappointed that only 3,000 Americans died that day, they were hoping for tens of thousands of corpses.
My prayers also go out to all the people who died on that day and to their families, with a special prayer for the repose of the soul of Chris Michael Kirby. His smiles, laughter and jokes are no doubt greatly missed by his family and many friends. Chris, nicknamed Happy, would have been 28 this year. The death of someone in the prime of his life seems so wrong.
Sissie did a lovely thing today, she printed an excerpt from Pope Benedict's prayers offered when he visited Ground Zero in April this year: "Our hearts are one with theirs, as our prayer embraces their pain and suffering." Nice touch, Sissie.
Thanks, doll. Let's see how the French "heathens" respond to his loving embrace this weekend. His Holiness's Marian bent, Sarah Palin's sudden appearance on the scene: The eternal feminine as instrument of God? He does move in mysterious ways.

Obama's campaign symbol is almost identical to the symbols of Lashkar-e-Taiba and sister "charity" group Jamaat-ud-Dawa. (See International Terrorist Symbols Database and Jamaat-ud-Dawa.org). Obama has many INDIRECT connections to this group i.e., Farrakhan, Wright via Lybia's Qaddafi, to Kenya Odinga and Abdul Karim. Can you make any DIRECT connections between the obvious similarities of Obama's symbol, LeT and JUD's symbol and the two terrorists groups?(only thing missing on Obama's symbol is the Koran and
turned upside down, you can even make out the scimitars/swords in the white stripes). I feel CERTAIN that Obama's symbol signals to the whole Islamic world what his agenda will be as President! We must all try and connect these dots before its too late!!!

I wrote a while back about OBAMA'S SYMBOL and it's unmistakable likeness to two groups on the GLOBAL TERRORIST LIST: Lashkar-e-Taiba and it's fundraising sister group, Jamaat-ud-Dawa. I FOUND THE OBAMA-TERRORIST GROUP CONNECTION!!! These two groups have made an ALLIANCE with the terrorist group HAMAS OF PALESTINE to share weaponry, increase military strenght, and shared intelligence to achieve their goals (those goals being to annihilate Israel and India, and have Islamic World Order.) The connection to OBAMA is through one of his very close friendships: Rashid Khalidi. Khalidi was press agent WAFA radio of the Palestian organization called the PLO.(Palestine Liberation Organization). Khalidi also served as an advisor to Yasser Arafat-head of the PLO. He is considered an expert on Middle Eastern affairs and is now a Professor of Middle Eastern-Arab Studies at Columbia Univerity. He taught with Obama for 12 years at University of Chicago. The Obama family and Khalidi family dined together frequently by Obama's own comments, their children went to school together until Khalidi move to NY. Khalidi held a campaign fundraising party for Obama in his home. Obama lavished praise on the Khalidi's at a farewell dinner (when they were leaving Chicago for his new job at Columbia). Obama spoke of the many wonderful dinners their families have shared over the years and the mind expanding conversations he and Khalidi have had in the past. Obama granted $75,000 to Khalidi's wife, Mona and her organization, the Arab American Network, via the Wood's Foundation. Khalidi has been, and is a radical, outspoken supporter of Palestine's rights and has been very critical of America's role in the Israel-Palestian territorial delimma. Khalidi has accused America of killing innocent Palestians because of America's support for Israel. HAMAS holds the top political positions in Palestine currently. I believe Hamas's alliance with Lashkar-e-Taiba, Khalidi's Palestian ties with Hamas, and Obama's close alliance/friendship with Rashid Khalidi, are just one more reason to look at Obama's Symbol with suspicion and concern. Obama's symbol appears to be a Muslim symbol indicating a Muslim agenda.(see International Terrorist Symbol Database: Lashkar-e-Taiba. See Jamaat-ud-Dawa .org ) Considering Obama's friendships with Khalidi, Obama's own Muslim background, and all of Obama's controversial relationships, his symbol should serve as a WAKE-UP call to everyone!!!
