FROM MASTODON:
Sadly, a private business dispute with the estate of our dear departed friend Brent Hinds was made public. We strongly deny allegations of ill intent on our part and intend to vigorously defend what we believe is a meritless lawsuit. We don’t intend to speak publicly on this going forward, as we feel this wouldn’t honor Brent’s memory or the legacy of his musical gifts.
To cheer up New Yorkers on this solemn day 9/11. There will be a baseball game, otherwise known as the regular season subway series between the NEW YORK METS and NEW YORK YANKEES.
It will be aired on SNY and YES notwork.
New York Yankee outfielder AARON JUDGE is back after a rib fracture with the Yankees.
JUAN SOTO is back after a calf injury with the New York METS.
ITP'S author is a suffering METS fan as General Manager DAVID STEARNS ruined the team by letting go of key players (to free agency) PETE ALONSO, EDWIN DIAZ, BRANDON NIMMO and more.
The New York METS were sellers and the trade deadline and got some good prospects for their bullpen.
Since firing their manager and getting an interim manger the New York Mets have been playing better baseball as rookies are making an impact. However, the New York Mets are last in their division and won't be making the playoffs.
Thj New York Yankees should make the playoffs this year but struggled offensively without JUDGE and STANTON.
In 2024 the NEW YORK METS were just two wins away (before being eliminated by the DODGERS) from a World Series/Subway Series with the NEW YORK YANKEES. .
"Pessimist, terrorist targeting the next mark"-SLAYER
25 years ago today Islamic radicals hijacked 3 airplanes and flew them into the WORLD TRADE CENTERS in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington DC killing over 3000 people.
Factor in the U.S.A. 20 year war in the Middle East and thousands more died. .
In Washington DC (or Maryland), passengers over took the airplane so it wouldn't crash into a building.
In New York City after the airplanes crashed into the buildings and the WORLD TRADE CENTERS collapsed while white fluffy stuff fell from the buildings.
Turns out the white fluffy stuff was a cancer causing agent that is killing fire fighters and first responders to this day..
Firefighters were were working at GROUND ZERO deaths from the cancer causing dust are counted in the death toll.
After 9/11 New York City and America shut down for a while as flights were cancelled, New York baseball were cancelled.
BTW, the old WORLD TRADE CENTER had been attacked by terrorists multiple times BEFORE 9/11/2001.
9/11 set off a 20 years war between America and multiple countries in the Middle East.
The WORLD TRADE CENTERS were rebuilt recently.
OSAMA BIN LADEN and terrorist group in Al Qaeda were considered the terrorists.
RIP to the jumpers who in desperation jumped from the WTC.
9/11/2001 set off a wave of Islamaphobia as the terrorists were Islamic radicals. .
ITP V.026 EDITORS NOTE:
Pretty scary few months in the fall of 2001 in New York. How has 9/11/2001 changed America? Can't bring a knife, gun or razor onto an airplane anymore. Getting VISA and work VISAS to visit and tour the U.S.A. are harder and more expensive.
ITP V.026 author is from New York city.and was very scared and worried on 9/11.
THE 7 LINE (METS FAN CLUB): :
Earlier on the WFAN morning show opening Boomer Esiason said something along the lines of NEVER FORGET not being a slogan, but a promise. Unfortunately 25 years later a lot of people have forgotten, or just weren’t alive yet to live through that time. We’re sure it never gets any easier for all those directly affected by that horrific day, and our hearts go out to each and every one of you still suffering.
FROM PIX11
A legacy is kept alive and carried proudly through the Mercado family after losing Steve Mercado - FDNY 9/11 hero and former president of the NYESL. On Stickball Blvd, the game lives on, played by children and families across ages and generations.
FROM SNY:
Mike Piazza's home run in the first baseball game on New York soil after the attacks on September 11th helped a nation heal.
FROM METAL INJECTION:
25 years ago today, on September 11, 2001, Slayer released their ninth full-length record, 'God Hates Us All.'
The timing remains unreal. So does the album.
What's your favorite track off of it?

BTW, we're straight edge, and we don't like drug addicts. All sources are attributed, there are NO illegal downloads here. Please support music and not rumors. ITP recommends that readers are 18 and up, we are not responsible for raising your kids.
I don't like people whom don't respect the metal genres, or ME following me on or offline, stalking or menacing me, any obsessions, or neighbors looking to fight, or make a delusional conspiracy theory out of nothing, so I will take legal action to define a boundary with posers and bullies. These bullies are NOT allowed at our or any metal shows.

All videos and music featured on ITP come straight from the labels and bands official YOU TUBE, VIMEO, SOUNDCLOUD and BANDCAMP accounts (I hope they go viral), under fair use, all rights reserved to the artists and labels, courtesy of the bands and labels.
ITP V.20/21's author writes alone, and always has. ITP V.020/21s TEXT is CREATIVE COMMONS (and copy written) as ITP V.020/21 is a media partner for the music/metal industry and under fair use promoting music.

ITP RESERVES SOME RIGHTS AS IN "FAIR USE" IN THE CONTEXT OF MUSIC, METAL and ENTERTAINMENT PROMOTION AND REVIEWS.
SOME RIGHTS RESERVED WITHOUT PREJUDICE Protect Yourself
BTW, ITP was EDITED in FULL (the entire journal in 2013 (Years ago-ITP looks and reads different huh?.
BTW, ITP TEXT is CREATIVE COMMONS and you might look silly as I have bit of black list in the music industry and beyond.
A couple of issues I would like to address:
ITP DOES NOT like PSYCHOTIC people following ITP, you're under arrest, I will sue you.
ITP does not promote local and regional artists/bands and music venues whom have screwed me over, don't reciprocate or bands, labels, venues I don't like.
It is NOT ITP's responsibility for promoting your venue, club or crap band or show, DIY and promote your self, If I don't promote you or your band are awful, the music is awful.
ITP only promotes what SHE likes, go play in your own sandbox.
I don't promote local or regional bands or/and venues just because they are local, nor do I ignore bands and venues from out of state and out of the U.S. .
ITP does not promote main stream music nor mall core..Only extreme metal..
There are a couple of labels that are blacklisted, one that is national socialist.
A few bands are blacklisted from ITP, and one or two venues.
Obviously is someone gets in fight over ITP there will be consequences, NOT YOURS, ITP owns her own copy right.
ITP is not a request journal, it is an extreme metal source for extreme metal news, no hipsters, ITP is my journal.
ITP, while a media partner for most labels,does not write for nor work for record labels and is independent of record labels. ITP is not owned by a record label.
BTW, regarding monetize for adverts, ITP does not normally do adverts and has not committed to monetize, although I'll look into it, depending on timing and circumstances.
Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal and welcome to ITP \m/
