Skip 9/11 Memorials, and Turn Off the TV!

by Andy Martin via Moi
While the greedy, callous, corrupt leaders of this country try to make 9/11 into some sort of mawkish American Holocaust, let's skip all the hyped-up, oversentimentalized, and commercialized "memorials" and think of the "Palocaust" that is happening RIGHT NOW to the Palestinians, thanks to our tax dollars being bamboozled to fund racist, apartheid Israel.
FOR RELEASE: September 11, 2002

RADIO COLUMNIST PLANS TO "SKIP MEMORIALS" ON
9/11, REMEMBER PALESTINIAN VICTIMS

A PROGRAMMING NOTE FROM "ANDY MARTIN'S AMERICA"

(NEW YORK) Nationally syndicated radio columnist Andy Martin will host a special radio/Internet news conference edition of "Andy
Martin's America" today, September 11th at 1:00 P.M. to "skip the memorials" of 9/11, and remember slaughtered Palestinians
instead. Martin is the only radio talk show host who was ever a tenant at the World Trade Center.

"It was said of the Bourbons they forgot nothing, they remembered nothing," says Martin. "So too with Americans. We 'remember'
9/11 but we forget why it took place.

"We claim the world has 'changed' but it is still business as usual in New York City, which is swallowing federal tax dollars
without rebuilding the towers.

"We claim we didn't know 'why they hate us,' but plan an invasion that will create more hatred for the United States.

"Politicians milk 9/11 'remembrances' for all they are worth. I am appalled."

"Romans had 'bread and circuses;' we have mawkish 'remembrances.'

"Please: stop the prayers for 9/11. Pray for Americans who confront the holocaust of George Bush's foreign policy.

"Please: remember Palestinians who are being slaughtered by American foreign aid, as they fight to end occupation.

"Please: stop aid to New York until they actually rebuild the World Trade Center.

"I mourn for the tragedy of 9/11. But I am appalled by the travesty of 9/11 + 1. The souvenirs are out for sale again. The hoopla
is back. We 'remember' 9/11 while forgetting why it took place."]

Martin's controversial program "Andy Martin's America" is a fulcrum of foreign policy, political analysis and contemporary
commentary on the Internet. Martin is a national columnist for Out2.com.

Martin has been involved in broadcasting for 34 years, as an on-air personality, and in management, sales and consulting.

Martin has been an adjunct professor of law at the City University of New York, is a Washington foreign policy consultant in the
areas of military security and intelligence and was an assistant to U.S. Senator Paul H. Douglas.

Martin's radio program "Andy Martin's America" covers national and international matters from 1-2 P.M. Radio call-in (800)

statements.
