We are coming up upon September 11, 2013, which will be the 12th year since the horrendous attacks that occurred upon the U.S.
In the works of being planned, are marches at the National Mall in Washington. There is a march, then a counter-march, and a few other march-related schemes in the plan book.
What will really happen when everyone converges on the scene?
It is very difficult to contain 1 million people, and confine them to just the National Mall. There are going to be incidentals, people want to eat, buy food, buy T-shirts, sleep for the night, tour buses that breakdown, the marchers' route to their destination becoming flooded, flaring tempers, and many variables of behaviors not yet experienced including possible emotional venting from cultures not our own, and all these combined together.
1 million plus 2 million, and everyone who wants to witness, photo, and merely be a part of the event, is even harder to anticipate every move that can happen.
Recurring and undercurrent and blaring question that presents itself, is, if the groups involved are trying to make a statement with the marching, will these statements from all the groups be crystal clear, especially respective to what is crystal clear as the truth?
Provided here is a collection of a few articles in order of most recent about the upcoming 9/11 'anniversary':
Impeachment group crashing 9/11 Muslim march
'It seems like a lot of people like to hijack things'
Published: 21 hours ago [from 11:45 am EST]
The rapidly expanding grassroots effort to impeach President Obama is now turning its sights on the Million Muslim March planned for Sept. 11.
Although now, the march has undergone a public-relations makeover and the organizers, the American Muslim Political Action Committee (AMPAC), have changed its name to “Million American March Against Fear.”
Fear of what?
AMPAC claims,” Many non-Muslim Americans are terrified of Muslims, who are portrayed by Hollywood and the U.S. media as fanatical terrorists. Muslims, too, live in fear – of being dragged off in the night to Guantanamo and tortured, simply for the crime of being Muslim in the wrong place at the wrong time.”
What bothers James Neighbors, the founder of Overpasses for Obama’s Impeachment, is AMPAC is choosing to make its statement on the very day fanatical Muslim terrorists did indeed kill some 3,000 Americans, on Sept. 11, twelve years ago.
“They could’ve picked any other day of the year. There’s 364 other days of the year they could’ve picked, but the fact they chose 9/11 just simply apppears [appears] to be a slap in the face to America and an insult to every American who died in attacks on those days (in 2001 and 2012.)”
“We simply could not tolerate 9/11 being hijacked like that. It seems like a lot of people like to hijack things in this country, like Obama tries to hijack the word patriot for his progressives,” he added.
Overpasses had begun to organize it’s [its] own march on Washington on Sept. 9, dedicated to bring attention to its primary mission, removing President Obama from office.
But founder James Neighbors changed plans and called for a nationwide protest in the streets and on overpasses on Sept. 11. specifically to oppose the Muslim march, after he learned of it.
They won’t be the only protesters, as WND reported a Facebook page has been created dedicated to bringing “2 Million Bikers to DC” to counter the Muslim march.
What Overpass protesters do is simple but effective. They merely gather on highway overpasses and wave signs calling for the impeachment of Obama or urging drivers to “honk to impeach.
WND first reported on the booming movement in July, and now the group claims it has mushroomed to 40,000 members across America to become “the largest grassroots movement in the nation” in the few weeks since it was launched in June.
The group’s national website has links to Facebook pages of groups in all 50 states, plus Washington, D.C.
WND asked Neighbors if he was concerned critics may try to brand his group as bigoted for opposing a Muslim march.
He said the group’s message has never been about race or religion and members avoid any inflammatory statements.
“We’ve had people who’ve wanted to carry signs saying things like ‘Obama is the anti-Christ’ and, well, that’s just not an impeachable offense.”

Neighbors says the main thing is just to stick to the issues because, “It doesn’t matter what race Barack Obama happens to be. What matters is if he’s performed criminal behavior and the precedent he has set for the future.”
He also notes, “As a movement we have no particluar issue with Islam, but the fact of the matter is 9/11 is the day, across America, people remember planes smashing into the World Trade Center, a planes smashing into the Pentagon, and men and women willing to give their lives in another plane, whose last words were ‘Let’s Roll’ before crashing into a field in Pennsylvania.”
Neighbors says, because the hijackers of those planes happened to be Muslim, it’s left a bad impression around the nation that Muslims chose this particular day for their march.
He says the fact four Americans were killed by Muslim terorists in attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya on Sept. 11 last year makes it even worse.
“I just think their complete lack of tact to have a protest on 9/11 needs to be countered by partiotic Americans that remember that’s a day of remembrance and sorrow and it shouldn’t be tainted.”
WND asked Neighbors, since Overpasses is combining issues on Sept. 11, what is the message he wants America to hear?
“We are combining them, but the impeachment message will be a bit muted on that day,” Neighbors replied.
“The people who died in Benghazi, U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, Glen Doherty, Ty Woods and Sean never really had a proper day of memorial,” said Neighbors, blaming all the news that followed, and all the “distractions created by Obama right after the event,” including the (since discredited) claim the attack was caused by a video insulting Islam.
Neighbors noted the nation has never really stopped to remember the four people who died in Benghazi, partially because “the entire incident has been buried under a mountain of scandals.”
“It’s one year late, but it is the one-year anniversary. Those four deserve a day where they’re respected and remebered, when people can cheer them as patriots and cry for their loss. That hasn’t happened yet and that’s what the whole point of our protest.”
Neighbors says, even if people don’t go out to a highway or an overpass to protest on Sept. 11, they can still participate in a significant way.
“If they happen to be up at midnight on that day, I just ask them to step out on the porc with a candle and say a little prayer for those lost in Benghazi. They haven’t been on everyone’s mind here in America and its a tragedy that hasn’t happened and our president has allowed that. And we need to do that. I would just ask everybody is they are not with us on that day, if they would do this on their own.”

Two million bikers to meet ‘Million Muslim March’ in DC on 9/11
posted at 1:37 pm on August 23, 2013 by Katie Pavlich
I’m sure by now you’ve heard of the “Million Muslim March” planned in Washington D.C. on 9/11. If you haven’t, you can watch the group’s organizer refusing to denounce hateful groups like the Muslim Brotherhood here.
Now in response to the march, a bunch of bikers are planning their own party in DC on 9/11…with two million people.
Thousands of America’s patriotic bikers are organizing an enormous counter protest to the planned Million Muslim March on DC this Sept. 11.
The Facebook Page, “2 Million Bikers to DC,” has over 18 thousand “likes,” as of Thursday morning and individual state chapters of riders have launched pages on Facebook, as well.
The bikers are riding “To remember those who were killed on 911 and honor our armed forces who fought those who precipitated this attack,” the Facebook page said.

There Is No More 'Million Muslim March' on 9/11
August 16, 2013
The demonstration originally called the "Million Muslim March" now has an explicitly secular name, the "Million American March Against Fear," organizer Isa Hodge stressed in a Friday interview with U.S. News.
Media coverage of the event, scheduled for the 12th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, exploded earlier this week. Hodge said he's irritated that many reports used the original name, which he says was changed in February after the addition of groups that doubt the official account of the 2001 attacks.
"They're focusing on what it was [called] before February to continue the misinformation and fear that we're trying to stop," Hodge said. "It's more sensational if they can put out there that it's just Muslims going to dance on the graves of the 3,000 souls that were lost that day. That's not what we're doing."
Protesters will instead take to the National Mall to denounce government surveillance and call for "the truth" about the attacks, Hodge says.

It's probable that the demonstration will fall short of its numerical ambition.
National Park Service spokesperson Carol Johnson told U.S. News in July that organizers applied for a National Mall permit citing just 1,000 likely participants.
But after the media frenzy, Hodge says, "I expect the numbers to be astronomical. ... I expect many anti-protesters, but they're going to be pleasantly surprised, I think. We're not going to be up there whining about civil rights violations of Muslims. There's going to be a presentation on rights and events that affect the liberties of all Americans."

The majority of speakers at the event will not be Muslim, the organizer said, and will focus on issues including "the AP essentially having their records stolen" by the Justice Department during a leak investigation, as well as the IRS targeting of political groups and NSA phone and Internet surveillance.
Hodge is the spokesman of the American Muslim Political Action Committee, the Missouri-based group that first called for the protest last October. Opponents of drones and the National Defense Authorization Act, as well as north-central Pennsylvania's Williamsport Tea Party are now involved with the event.
"We all deserve to be judged on our own merits, and that is precisely why I will show my solidarity with peaceful, Constitution-loving citizens," Nick Defonte of the Williamsport Tea Party told U.S. News last month.

Additional article at <http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/08/15/million-muslim-march_n_3762974.html> titled 'Million Muslim March' Planned On 9/11 Anniversary Prompts Conservative Freakout. Posted 8/15/2013. Video embedded at source URL omitted.
Conservative media outlets were buzzing Thursday over a Muslim political advocacy group's plans to hold a "Million Muslim March" on Washington, D.C., on the 12th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
The event, first announced in January, is being organized by the American Muslim Political Action Committee (AMPAC), a fringe group led by M.D. Rabbi Alam, a professed 9/11 truther who has pushed controversial anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about the attacks. Last year, he made a failed bid for Missouri’s secretary of state, and his group has been doing little besides trying to attract national attention ever since.
AMPAC was finally successful on Thursday, when Breitbart News reported on the event, calling it "tasteless" and including an unrelated picture of hundreds of Muslims praying in front of the Capitol. Fox News later broke from their coverage of the violent military crackdown in Egypt, which has left nearly 600 dead and thousands injured, to give viewers an "alert" on the so-called "Million Muslim March," and going so far as to note that the total supporters of the event could currently be counted on two hands. A Facebook page for the "Million Muslim March" -- which previously showed less than 10 people planning to attend -- had been taken down by the time of publish.
Organizers of the "Million Muslim March" have defended the timing of their event by noting that "Muslim[s] and Non Muslim[s] alike were traumatized" on Sept. 11, 2001. True, but beneath the group's insistence that the march will be about civil rights, indefinite detention, and "slanderous" statements about Islam, lies a toxic strain of trutherism. That fact led Corey Saylor, spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, to tell U.S. News last month that CAIR would definitely not support the event.
Most groups and individuals have responded similarly, though the event did reportedly receive some backing last month from other truther groups and at least one Pennsylvania tea party organization.
At the time of the U.S. News report, AMPAC had even changed the title of the event to "Million American March Against Fear," perhaps in an effort to get more mainstream support. The name apparently didn't catch on, however, so it looks they've since decided to revert back to the more controversial name.
