The first time I ever heard of Pamela Geller was in 2008. Her Atlas Shrugged rhetoric was most PROUDLY shared by #tcot, Breitbarters and other @GOP members on @twitter.
What I was most shocked about is that Pamela Geller is based out of NYC, mainly because NYC is a mostly tolerant area, as in differences are accepted NOT targeted as Geller does.
Geller’s the one who started the “mosque steps from Ground Zero” chant, which was completely false but sold well enough to rile up her base especially those at Fox News. Her “steps from hallowed Ground Zero” chant led to incessant protests with lunatic fringe gathering in the World Trade Center (WTC) area.
So, one day, I’m in the Bronx (Yankee Stadium area) watching local ABC news. Geller’s on news being interviewed as if there was a state of crisis at Ground Zero, “STEPS from Ground Zero“. The next day, I traveled to WTC area, looking for a “mosque at Ground Zero”, like, “did I miss something, a mosque steps from Ground Zero??“. I’m frequently in the Battery Park area. When I leave the area, I choose to walk along Broadway to take train home instead of sitting or standing on a crowded subway just to transfer to another train a few blocks away. I usually take in the Five Points historic sights for many reasons.
Strip Club that is LITERALLY steps from WTC, which you can clearly see rebuilding in process from this strip club. August 2010 Copyright TM Cronin. All Rights Reserved
What I noticed for the first time as I reached steps from Ground Zero is a STRIP CLUB, LITERALLY just a few foot steps away from WTC and also in plain view of FDNY’s Ladder 10 firehouse’s 9/11 memorial. Geller calls this “hallowed ground”. So, that makes the strip club a “hallowed titty bar”?!
Also steps from Ground Zero – directly across the street – is a high-rise commercial building that ANYONE can rent space in, including the bin Laden family without any uproar or questions asked because money talks. Geller also knows money talks in NYC and she needs a lot of it. The fastest way to get money: grifting. The EASIEST way to grift: pander to a fear-based, under-educated and proud white-separatist crowd.
What Geller missed when pandering to her fear-based crowd: directly adjacent to WTC is a federal building (a tower) for U.S. Post Office/postal inspector and other federal offices, including law enforcement, which completely obstructs ANY view of the small Islamic cultural center THREE BLOCKS AWAY and AROUND CORNERS from WTC. But Geller was counting on her fear-based crowd not knowing this.
Geller’s a hateful witch who’s doing the same as Shouting Fire: Stories From The Edge of Free Speech (HBO)https://www.hbo.com/documentaries/shouting-fire-stories-from-the-edge-of-free-speech. What she’s doing ISN’T new, groundbreaking, but simply old and tired but profitable as hate and sex sell well and Geller is combining both while laughing all the way to the bank.
Geller also travels PROUDLY with Nazi-worshipers and neo-Nazis, as well as contributes to articles with Ku Klux Klan.
But it’s nice that a group of extremists are now after Geller, a dream come true, as they’ll wipe each other out, which is a start to world peace (and quiet)!
See photos (below) that I took when visiting Ground Zero in August 2010 in search of an assumed “dangerous mosque at Ground Zero” that Pamela Geller “shouted fire” about. I also met employees of the Islamic Cultural Center as well as met a diverse group of persons, including military members, against Geller’s hateful speech.
They’re here in support of 1st amendment. Awkward and almost dangerous situation because Pamela Geller has riled up her fan base (shouts fire). The woman on right, Julia, her father is a West Point military veteran. In just a short amount of time, she was a “commie” by a man claiming to be a Navy vet and who claims he served 5 years in Iraq, AND hates all muslims and says all they want to do is kill and behead people. The Navy vet’s a second generation American, his family migrated here during Jim Crow from Ireland just before WWII. His knowledge of other cultures, including history of this country, truly spoke for itself: IGNORANCE. The Navy vet’s full interview was captured by both NY Daily News & NY Post and needs to be aired in its entirety as it speaks directly to extremism and branding an entire group/religion in pretty much the same way Hitler and Jim Crow proponents did. He’s pro-Palin, pro-teaparty, anti-muslim, anti-latino, anti-gay, anti-etc. The mystery is why did his family migrate to a country originally inhabited by brown faces: Native & Spanish Americans AND why did he join the military, which begins with an oath to defend the Constitution???

This is Park Place where Islamic cultural center is located (middle-left) – NO WTC view, steps of WTC etc. as Pamela Geller “shouts fire” with.
August 2010 Copyright TM Cronin. All Rights Reserved
Park Place, the entire block of proposed Islamic cultural Center. Directly across street from cultural center is a commercial bldg with CUNY (City University NY) at corner. This photo view is from the corner of Park Place/Broadway. Can you spot proposed mosque or even WTC??!! Again, Pamela Geller shouting fire.
August 2010 Copyright TM Cronin. All Rights Reserved
Can you spot the Islamic Cultural Center or WTC from this view??? And yes, the Islamic Cultural Center IS on this block. On right is side of proposed Islamic Cultural Center. What is clearly visible are the enormous, towering commercial buildings directly across from it.

Taken from Park Place/Broadway. See if you can spot the proposed Islamic cultural center or WTC in this pic? And notice all the non-panicking people while Pamela Geller continually “shouts fire”?
August 2010 Copyright TM Cronin. All Rights Reserved
At the end of the commercial bldg is Broadway & Park Place Do you see a mosque? No because it’s around corner & overshadowed by CUNY (City University NY) & commercial bldgs, both of which occupy entire blocks

This guy in red t-shirt is against the Islamic cultural center and DOES NOT LIVE in the NYC area. He purposely drove to the location of cultural center and is using military to promote division. He’s a long-time Pamela Geller fan and was called to action by her.
And the guy he’s talking to, or talking down to, in white shirt, IS a Muslim American.

Ok, now I’m standing directly in front of proposed Islamic cultural center, facing construction and direction of Hudson River which is towards WTC, which is 2+ blocks away. Do you see the WTC?? Gee, look at all the people Pamela Geller claims are in danger because of Islamic cultural center.

The “Hallowed Peep Show and Porn Place” LITERALLY steps from Ground Zero and across from FDNY’s firehouse. This is in plain sight of WTC, and the look on the children’s face says it all. The kids wouldn’t have even noticed the proposed Islamic cultural center or knew what it was if they were to pass it, but they certainly KNEW what this was and were quite shocked.

Notice the porn & S&M lingerie shops on the left? Well, blue structure on upper left – beginning of WTC rebuilding, 1 small block away, literally steps. The Islamic cultural center is not even visible because its *blocks away* and AFTER federal buildings & Port Authority Police building.

Again, per Pamela Geller’s “shouting fire”, these are “hallowed titty shops”, I guess. The “Hallowed” Pussycat Lounge AND Peep show two doors away, both in PLAIN view of (steps away from) WTC. Geller ain’t complaining about this because she knows that hate and sex sell well, and she’s using both to fund her lifestyle.

And this can only be seen when you walk to the end of block towards Hudson River, TOWARDS WTC. Again: CUNY bldg – Fiterman Hall which is under construction, This is *NOT* WTC, the building Geller “shouted fire” with.

From the Liberty Street side of WTC. Do you see an “overshadowing mosque” as Pamela Geller “shouts fire” with? You do, however, see commercial building (upper right) before tan federal building. This photo was taken from the same side as the “hallowed” titty clubs!
August 2010 Copyright TM Cronin. All Rights Reserved
Literally directly across from WTC at Liberty St. Looks sinister. “World” is in store name, owner could be taking over if you follow Geller’s logic. :-p

And the Geller “shouting fire” hysteria gets even better: this is directly, directly AND DIRECTLY across from WTC 😉

Building in progress at Park & Church, a block before WTC. So far me-no-see no Pamela Geller’s claim of an “overshadowing mosque” (shouting fire).

Good to see the work in progress, but will be glad when it’s all done but hate idea of why it’s being redone, or the people who are now exploiting the location for hatriot profits.
August 2010 Copyright TM Cronin. All Rights Reserved
Federal office building upper left (tan building) and commercial building, both of which directly overshadow proposed Islamic cultural center. ANYONE can rent space inside of AVAILABLE commercial building, by the way, including a member of the bin Laden family, as capitalism has priority over Pamela Geller’s ideology.

Facing front of WTC (Twin Towers) location. The small, proposed Islamic cultural center is two blocks away and obstructed behind towering federal & commercial buildings, with Port Authority Police building across from both towering buildings.

9/11 Memorial which DIRECTLY faces St. Paul’s Chapel & WTC – not Pamela Geller’s “shouting fire” claim of an “overshadowing mosque”.

LARGE and towering federal building adjacent to WTC (Twin Towers) & across from St. Paul’s Chapel. Following federal building is a towering commercial building (available for rental to anyone can afford it). And all are blocks before proposed Islamic Cultural Center which is size of a brownstone building. Also in the same surrounding area are NUMEROUS religious facilities of all denominations.

No explanation needed. This is on display inside of St. Paul’s Chapel – DIRECTLY across from WTC. This is Actual gear of firefighter who responDed to WTC. *tears* seriously.
