രാവിലെ 8:46-നു ആദ്യത്തെ മണി മുഴങ്ങി.നോര്‍ത്ത് ടവറില്‍ വിമാനം വന്നിടിച്ച സമയം. ദേവാലയങ്ങളിലെ മണികളും മഹാദുരന്തത്തിന്റെ ഓര്‍മ്മ വിളിച്ചോതി.

വേള്‍ഡ് ട്രേഡ് സെന്റര്‍ നിന്നിരുന്ന സ്ഥലത്ത് സ്മാരകമായി പണിത റിഫ്‌ളക്ടിംഗ് പൂളിനു ചുറ്റും കൊത്തി വച്ച ഉറ്റവരുടേ പേര്‍കള്‍ക്കു മുന്നില്‍ തേങ്ങലോടെ ബന്ധുക്കള്‍. ഒരോരുത്തരുടെയും പേരുകള്‍ പതിവു പോലെ വായിക്കുന്നു.

ലോകത്തിന്റെ നാനാഭാഗത്തു നിന്നുമുള്ള മനുഷ്യര്‍ അവീടെ കണ്ണീരുമായി എത്തി. ട്രേഡ് സെന്റര്‍ ശവദാഹം നടത്തുന്ന സ്ഥലമായി മാറിയപ്പോള്‍ ലോകത്തിന്റെ നാനാഭാഗത്തു നിന്നുമുള്ള ആളുകളാണ് അവിടെ എരിഞ്ഞടങ്ങിയത്. എല്ലാ മനുഷ്യരുടെയും പ്രതിനിധികള്‍ ജീവന്‍ നല്‍കിയ ഇതു പോലെ മറ്റൊരു സ്ഥലം ഭൂമിയിലില്ല. അതിനാല്‍ തന്നെ ഇതാണ് വിശുദ്ധ ഭൂമി. മനുഷ്യരാശിയുടെ ഐക്യം വിളിച്ചോതുന്ന ആത്മവിദ്യാലയം.

സൗത്ത് ടവറില്‍ വിമാനം വന്നിടിച്ച 9.03-നു രണ്ടാമത്തെ മണി മുഴങ്ങി. പെന്റഗണില്‍ വിമാനം ഇടിച്ച 9:37-നു അടുത്ത മണി. 9:59-നു വീണ്ടും മണി മുഴങ്ങി. സൗത്ത് ടവര്‍ തകര്‍ന്നു വീണതിന്റെ ഓര്‍മ്മ പുതുക്കിയമണിമുഴക്കം. 10.3-നു മുഴങ്ങിയ മണി പെന്‍സില്‍ വേനിയയില്‍ തകര്‍ന്ന വിമാനത്തേയും യാത്രക്കാരെയും അനുസ്മരിച്ചു. 10:28-നു അവസാന മണി മുഴങ്ങി. നോര്‍ത്ത് ടവറും നിലം പതിച്ചു.
പ്രസിഡന്റ് സ്ഥാനാര്‍ഥികളായ ഡൊണള്‍ഡ് ട്രമ്പും ഹിലരി ക്ലില്‍ന്റനും പങ്കെടുത്തുവെങ്കിലും പ്രസംഗിച്ചില്ല. ട്രമ്പിനായിരുന്നു കയ്യടി കൂടുതല്‍.

Clinton diagnosed with pneumonia, cancels California trip (Lead)

New York, Sep 12 (IANS) Hillary Clinton has cancelled a two-day trip to California starting from Monday after the Democratic presidential candidate was diagnosed with pneumonia and has been advised to rest by her doctor.

The cancellation was confirmed by her campaign on Sunday night following Clinton's abrupt departure from a ceremony marking the 15th anniversary of the September 11 attacks in downtown Manhattan because she felt "overheated", The Hill daily reported.

She was supposed to campaign in San Francisco and Los Angeles and was scheduled to make an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. 

The former secretary of state's doctor, Lisa R. Bardack released a statement revealing the diagnosis on Sunday evening, The Hill daily reported.

Bardack said Clinton had an examination at her home in Chappaqua after the incident, which was a result of dehydration and overheating. 

She said the presidential candidate was "re-hydrated and recovering nicely".

Clinton left the Ground Zero ceremony after an hour and 30 minutes. Video posted by a bystander to Twitter appeared to show Clinton extremely unsteady and supported by aides, being helped from the curb into a vehicle.

A security official told the Guardian that Clinton had walked from the ceremony without support, got into a vehicle and was away. 

Clinton recently sustained a coughing attack during a campaign event in Cleveland, fuelling suspicion about her health and leading to the creation of a hashtag, #HackingHillary. 

Republican rival Donald Trump using the hashtag tweeted: "Mainstream media never covered Hillary's massive ‘hacking' or coughing attack, yet it is #1 trending. What's up?" the Guardian added.

Rumours about Clinton's health appeared to have stemmed from a 2012 incident in which she fell, a mishap attributed to a stomach virus. 

She suffered a concussion and a subsequent blood clot in the brain, which later testing showed to have cleared completely.


15th 9/11 anniversary: Obama calls for unity against terrorism 


New York, Sep 12 (IANS) The 15th anniversary of the horrific 9/11 attacks saw President Obama's call for unity against terrorism, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's fainting and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's only statement on social media.


US President Barack Obama on Sunday led millions of Americans in paying moving tribute to the victims of the 9/11 attacks urging Americans to stand united against terrorism.

During a ceremony at 15th anniversary 9/11 attcks at the Pentagon he said, "together, there is nothing we Americans cannot overcome."

At the Pentagon, a trumpet played as the President took part in a wreath-laying ceremony.

"We remember, and we will never forget, the nearly 3,000 beautiful lives taken from us so cruelly -- including 184 men, women and children here, the youngest just three years old. We honour the courage of those who put themselves in harm's way to save people they never knew," Obama said in a statement. 

"We come together in prayer and in gratitude for the strength that has fortified us across these 15 years. And we renew the love and the faith that binds us together as one American family," he added.

"It is so important today that we reaffirm our character as a nation, of people drawn from every corner of the world, every colour, every religion, every background," he said.

"Bound by a creed as old as our founder ... Out of many, we are one. For we know that our diversity, our patchwork heritage, is not a weakness, it is still and always will be one of our greatest strengths," Obama said.

Obama also vowed that the US will never bow to the wishes of terrorists who, through their attacks, hope to change the way Americans live.

"We have delivered justice to Osama bin Laden. We have strengthened our homeland security. We have prevented attacks. We have saved lives. We resolve to continue doing everything in our power to protect this country that we love," he noted.

"...And today, we once again pay tribute to these patriots, both military and civilian, who serve in our name, including those far away from home in Afghanistan and Iraq," Obama said. 

Meanwhile, Donald Trump released a statement on Facebook page and offered his condolences to the victims.

"Fifteen years ago, America suffered the worst terrorist attack in its history. Today, we mourn for all the lives lost. We mourn for all the children who had to grow up without a mom or dad, and for all the parents who have had to struggle on without their children," he wrote.

He praised the firefighters, police officers and port authority workers who rushed into danger, into smoke, into fire to save the lives of people they had never met -- performing their sacred duties until their last moments on Earth. 

"Today is a day of sadness and remembrance. It is also a day of resolve. Our solemn duty on behalf of all those who perished that September day 15 years ago, is to work together as one nation to keep all of our people safe from an enemy that seeks nothing less than to destroy our way of life," Trump noted.

Hillary Clinton, who had fainted at a public event due to "overheating" and was later diagnosed with pneumonia, said the attack was the closest thing to "hell" she had ever seen.

She visited the Ground Zero memorial to pay her respects and observe the annual moment of silence but soon fell ill.

According to the reports, Clinton took rest in her daughter's Manhattan apartment. 

"She was put on antibiotics and advised to rest and modify her schedule. She is now re-hydrated and recovering nicely," her physician Lisa Bardack said.

News for Trump fans (Especially for Texan2 and Koovellor)

Dean Baquet, the top editor at the New York Times, said he'd publish a story on Donald Trump's taxes even if it means risking jail time.

He made the remark during a Harvard University forum Sunday, when he was asked about the legal risks tied to publishing a leaked or hacked copy of Trump's taxes. "I think every journalist on the planet wants Donald Trump's tax returns," said Laura Poitras, a filmmaker who made an Academy Award-winning documentary about NSA leaker Edward Snowden.

But she told both Baquet and Washington Post Associate Editor Bob Woodward, who was also there, that the lawyers for their newspapers would probably warn them that they'd face jail time for publishing such information.

"If the Post or the Times were to get Donald Trump's tax returns, would you publish them?" she asked.

Both said yes, that they'd argue with the attorneys to do so.

Baquet said Trump's taxes are important because he is "a presidential candidate whose whole campaign is built on his success as a business man, and his wealth," and that his taxes could cast light on whether that's true. Woodward joked that if a judge handed down a five-year jail sentence to the Post for publishing the taxes, he'd have everyone at the paper serve a single day of the sentence. But he also stressed that it's very important to report on the taxes.
"Some things you have to do. Dean is exactly right. This defines Donald Trump," Woodward said

Democracy should never be a waste land of corporate greed.

Democracy is the art of being together respecting & responsive to difference.

Democracy must grow from the sentiments of LOVE for all & protecting Nature.

"Trump running mate Mike Pence told CNN's Wolf Blitzer Monday that Trump has donated millions of dollars to charity.
"Anyone who knows anything about Donald Trump and his career knows that this is a man who's given away tens of millions of dollars to charitable causes throughout the course of his business life -- he's been incredibly generous," Pence said. "
