113. its hard ..its damn hard..but once you get your voice..no one can stop you
i was a lone wolf after 9/11 remember i lived in a town that lost many..people werein fear and hurting terribly...

but i knew as a flight crew with one of the airlines involved immeidately that something was very wrong with the "official story"..it was drastically wrong..and i began speaking out about it..and i was isolated horribly as i was a lone voice among a very raw wound..it was all around me..in every way..

those i worked with were frustrated and angry..and those i lived around were scared..

when i began speaking out i was shunned..by friends and family...but i knew americans were being lied to in every way..

i didn't know where to turn with the truth..and i made many mistakes...i didn't know how to use the internet..other than to sign in at work..and that was secure emails by the company..

but i reached out to the internet and learned the computer..and i began posting on aol message boards..

again i was almost a lone ranger..there were a few open to learning and helped me educate others..but it was lonely to know the truth and have it captured in my brain..i could not eat or sleep...because i "knew " it was all lies and bullshit...
but i learned to get my voice..and the more i spoke out and the more people began to see the light ..the more i had to speak out...i knew it was my responsibility as an American..

start small..work on one person...use facts..copy them or write them down...

i was never looked for a public persona...but i began speaking at events to get the word out there..i even ran an election and became a delegate to dem conv..who me ?? i thought who was i kidding..i was a flight attendant..not a politican...but i won..and i won with truth...and i got to have my voice heard...

little ole me...and i got to tell more and more people the truth...

yes my friends and family still resisted the truth...but i would not be silenced ...not by anyone...i was ridiculed..and avoided..until they could no longer ignore the truth...

now my greatest feeling came when a friends husband ..a rabid republican asked me at the end of last summer to take a walk with him on the beach..he asked me to sit on the beach when we got there and he said to me..i owe you an appology...he said..i never wanted to listen to you or hear what you had to say..he said you never deviated ..and you never talked down to anyone ..you just tried to teach us the truth...and he said i appologise..i was one who often made jokes about you behind your back..and he said he was wrong..he said ..you wee right all along..on everything..

i told him i don't care about being right..i said i care about saving my country..and i care that no one else has sleepless nights..and has nightmares knowing what it is like on an aircraft in trouble and our government does not respond as they are mandated to..i told him i hope no one else has the nightmres i have knowing damn well my government killed my co-workers and people on the ground ...

i said i have been in emergencies in the air..and one minute is a lifetime when something is seriously wrong mid air..and that my co-workers on flt 11 called in an emergency 34 minutes before they crashed into the WTC..i know it had to be terrifying..i know that fear..the adreniline ..i know that anguish and the government..our government allowed the failure of Norad..not once but 4 times..with 4 jumbo jets...planes i flew...i said ..now its your turn to tell the truth and educate yourself...i said, do not think telling me ..you appologize.. gets you off the hook..i said now you must educate..your children , your family and your friends..i said ..it is your reponsibility to your constitution..its the "we the people " part..i said it was his job now..to tell the truth and to pass on the truth..no matter how hard it was..it was his job now..

look the revolution to make us a republic was not easy..the drawing of our constitution was not easy for those involved..the fighting for our bill of rights was no easy..fighting in WWI was not easy..fighting WWII was not easy...my dad fought in the So pacific in the jungles..what was easy about that?? and he was left for dead by MacArthur..was that easy?? hell no...how many fought for their lives in hitlers camps?? was that easy?? how many perished and how many stood silent??

nothing in life is easy..our democracy has come too easy for too many if us...

its why we have chosen to remain silent and why europeans have stood up against this regime of ours..the people of europe have seen too many wars and too many deaths to remain silent...we have alot to learn from them in only our infantsy...

its time we take our place at the table and take our responsibilities to our democracy seriously...

no its not easy...

but the alternatives suck...

i will not sit back while ignorant americans destroy my constitution or my bill of rights..i will not sit back while my government lies daily about everything ..but most of all about 9/11 and this fucking lie of a war...

if it means loosing friends or family..well, so be it..

it has lost me my sister ..we have now not talked since 2 weeks after 9/11..she will have to live with her complicity of this war and of the lies of 9/11

my consience is clear..

my legacy will be what i leave my children and the children of the future of this nation...

and i will be damned if that legacy will be the destruction of this nation by her most ignorant ..of the truth!
