NEW YORK, Aug. 24 (Xinhua) -- One week after the city's announcement that 9/11 first responders will not be invited to the 10th anniversary ceremony, firefighters, paramedics, and other volunteers continued to voice their anger, disappointment.

Retired paramedic, Mike Miller, of the financial district said: "this is a total disrespect, we risked our lives and some of us still suffer from those injuries."

Indeed, countless first responders sustained varying degrees of injuries. With the recent denial of federal funding to them this late July, many see this exclusion from the ceremony as evidence that the city is attempting to push to the background their untreated ailments.

The city has promised to hold a ceremony at a later date to honor the 91,000 or so first responders and volunteers who helped in the preliminary search and rescue efforts and the subsequent cleanup in the ensuing 10 months.

But many expressed hesitance to attend. "It just doesn't mean as much, it means less if it's not on Sept. 11th, and this doesn't change the fact that we were not invited to the actual ceremony," said Katie Jarvez, a first responder from lower Manhattan. "If we went to the ceremony, the slogan 'we'll never forget' will be totally ridiculous because the government did not take care of us," said Cindy Gonzalez, a volunteer from Brooklyn.

The office of Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced last week that given the space constraints, they had to focus on accommodating victims'family members first at the 10-year anniversary ceremony. Editor: yan

Could be that "insiders" who pulled off the inside job" just want to keep the lid on things.

This is going to be a big time propaganda event. The presence of the first responders who were lied to about the safety of the air and are now dying of various diseases would be a big reflection on the corruption of the government. That would take away from selling the same old load of shit.

Sad, of course, that the rescuers are left out, but the Mayor said the focus was on the families of the dead .... there were enough killed inside the buildings that if each were represented by only one relative there wouldn't be standing room for a two block radius.

Sad, too, to see so many crappy apologists for everything that is sick and wrong about this country.

It makes me violently ill.

It is a violation of Natural Law to use this document in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.

There's the other possibility that in these potentially turbulent times TPTB have an unannounced policy to keep gatherings small and easy to control.

I DARE the first responders to claim that this is equivalent to denying Holocaust survivors their reparations.

That may be an element of it. Certainly they do not want the serfs to think they have freedom of assembly to ask for redress of just grievances. That would be so, so, so, (((((shudder))))) Constitutional.

Only Conspiracy Kooks think the Constitution is supposed to be check on preventing the government from doing whatever it decides is best. /Sarcasm
