Another interesting replay
The Voice of Russia website has a brief article on the 8th anniversary of 9/11.
Most of it agrees with the American version, but this is unexpected:
Shot down by US flak [anti-aircraft fire] .... ???
This is an important difference from the American version, where the passengers stormed the cockpit and somebody (presumably the hijacker pilot) intentionally crashed the jet. Do the Russians know something that we weren't told? Or if this is propaganda, what would be the purpose? The Russian version imputes more quickness and competence to our military response than the American version.
Frankly, Polistra is finding the post-cold-war Russia to be a better model and a more trustworthy nation than the post-cold-war America. Russia is returning to its Orthodox roots, and its government defends the interests of Russia's own economy and people. America under Bush and Obama is self-destructive. Our government and institutions work hard to destroy Christian principles while tearing down the industries that allowed ordinary men to support a family. Our government grinds its own army into the dust of useless wars and prosecutes its own soldiers and intelligence operatives who dare to do their job properly. Our corporations throw the game to our enemies in China and Arabia. The financial collapse should have provided an opportunity to pull down the Wall Street Mafia, but instead Obushma has granted them even more power and money, which is unquestionably anti-Christian.
Anti-Christian? Really? Doesn't God love wealth? Isn't that what Joel Osteen and Rick Warren tell us?
Oh, maybe not.....
Fecit potentiam in brachio suo,
dispersit superbos mente cordi sui;
deposuit potentes de sede
et exaltavit humiles;
esurientes implevit bonis
et divites dimisit inanes.
If Obama had been serious, he would have spent the first month of his term dispersing the superbos and deposing the potentes. Instead he made them even more superb and potent, even more invulnerable. ¶ 9:56 AM
Most of it agrees with the American version, but this is unexpected:
The hijackers crashed a third airliner into the Pentagon in Washington, while a fourth plane was shot down by US flak near Shanksville in rural Pennsylvania, after some of its passengers and flight crew unsuccessfully attempted to retake control of the jet. There were no survivors from any of the flights.
