Reply #41: Good points, all.

You speak as someone who has, perhaps, been trained in military affairs. If that is true, good for you. I speak as a poet and an artist and someone who believes--contemporary evidence to the contrary--in the implacability of the human heart and spirit.

To me, the events of 9/11 are on the level of myth--that is to say, they are on the scale of events that go down through history for hundreds if not thousands of years. And what places this event on that scale is not the loss of life and property--for certainly far greater events of this nature have occured, Hiroshima, the fire bombing of Dresden to name but two. What places 9/11 on a mythical scale is its inherent duplicity: The fact that, as it has been presented, it is a LIE of mythical proportions established as a "psychic driving" mechanism in our society and throughout the world.

And yet, all in all, it is a very bad lie. A very unconvincing one if one but looks.

One of the most important things we can do is help expose this lie for what it is. And it doesn't cost us much except a willingness to be called "conspiracy theorists" or what have you. The evidence that something is amiss is everywhere to be found but what is needed is that it be broadcast and rebroadcast--to our friends, family, whoever will listen. We have the means to do this, at least for now.

Of course that isn't going to be the end of the matter, it is only the beginning. Another thing we need to do, and by "we" I mean citizens such as ourselves NOT relying upon governmental 'leaders' or intermediaries, is to begin to engage in dialogue with other people outside of our own communities, indeed, outside of our own country. We need to tell them we are here and that we know what is going on. As LunaC has suggested, this completely changes our understanding of who and what WE are.

Will they try to stop us if we are in any way effective? Of course! Will they succeed in doing so--well that is the big question isn't it? Certainly they have succeeded thus far and will continue to do so so long as we remain silent. But I still believe in 'magic,' I still believe that the world of lies can be consumed by the fire of truth and transformed in to a future worth living. I believe that we can pay attention in a special way that has power and influence beyond the range of our own acknowledged limitations. Isn't this what the history of genuine heroes teaches us?

What's your plan?
