Months, years and then decades slip by. Despite an avalanche of information burying me everyday I had not read or heard anything about 9/11 truth for many, many months. Sometimes movements become so marginalized that they no longer have enough vitality to stay within the consciousness of very many people. I am sure, of course, that there are 9/11 truthers out there that still give and attend talks, write and receive emails and have lively conversations about the insanity of the official government story about 9/11 surviving and various alternative explanations of what really happened. Yet, in not too many weeks, another 9/11 anniversary will be here. And maybe then I will be hit again with chatter about what really happened on that past fateful and awful day. But today it is this writing by me that is my 9/11 truth: Hardly any Americans are concerned about 9/11 truth and there is no real interest in Congress in launching a new investigation. So I went to a few 9/11 websites of groups that I am affiliated with; they were still there. And then I did a Google news search for 9/11 truth. Here is what I gleaned. The first news item was something that the head of WikiLeaks.org, that was very much in the news lately because it was distributing a huge amount of materials on the war in Afghanistan, had said about the 9/11 truth movement: "I'm constantly annoyed that people are distracted by false conspiracies such as 9/11, when all around we provide evidence of real conspiracies, for war or mass financial fraud." This did not surprise me, even though, personally, I still believe that the US government conspired to keep the full truth about 9/11 hidden from the public. But then I quickly came across a story in a local New Hampshire newspaper about a recent 9/11 truth group participation in a local event, and that heartened me that the diehard truthers were still marching proudly. Indeed, this was noted: “We would like to extend our warmest thanks to [the former Keene Mayor, State Representative, and one of our World War II veterans] for bravely standing tall and marching with our group. Your presence commands respect and it was indeed an honor to have you all join us. We sincerely appreciate your willingness to show support for our efforts to publicize the need for a new 9/11 investigation.” And I was heartened to learn that the fourth of July parade in Takoma Park, MD where I once lived had a float for the 9/11 Truth Now group in it. Back to the WikiLeaks situation; this website has rightfully received incredible worldwide attention by the mainstream media for its ability to obtain and publicize key documents shedding light where the government and corporations don’t want it. For 9/11 truthers here is something that merits very serious thought. If we are correct, then a fairly large number of people had a hand, probably as part of a black ops action, designing and executing many things, not the least of which was the controlled demolition of the three World Trade Center buildings. So why have none of these people leaked materials to a place like WikiLeaks? Could they all have been so bought off or threatened to stay quiet? Perhaps. But I must admit I find the lack of leakers troubling. Of course, if the government had pursued prosecution of the many government workers that did nothing to prevent the 9/11 actions for, say, criminally negligent homicide, then perhaps some would have cut deals and blown the whistle. But as far as I can remember no civilian or military personnel were nailed for failure to detect and prevent the terrorism. Don’t get me wrong. I am not saying that just because no 9/11 whistleblowers have come forward with compelling evidence that the official story is believable. Not at all. What the 9/11 truth movement needs, however, is a steady focus on the considerable evidence that undermines the official story, rather than on evidence supporting various alternative theories of what happened. In this regard, the website of Architects and Engineers for 9/11 truth http://ae911truth.org/ remains as one of the best sources of serious, trustworthy information. The group has an event on September 9 this year in Washington, DC and also visits to various members of Congress to lobby for a new investigation. But if they do not offer draft legislation it will be a waste of time. My other favorite website is Alan Miller’s wonderful Patriots Question 9/11 http://patriotsquestion911.com/, where so many credible people have openly questioned the official story, more than enough to convince the most skeptical people to support a new investigation. Thirdly, I urge people to use the Scholars for 9/11 Truth website http://911scholars.org/ because it also offers useful, reliable information. Also impressive is the continued work of the NYCCAN group at http://www.nyccan.org/index.php. They have asked the Manhattan District Attorney to investigate the collapse of WTC 7. Recently, they had 400 supporters mail or fax the DA the attached letter, which focuses on the destruction of evidence at the WTC site. The group thinks this is the most likely route the DA would take to opening any kind of investigation into 9/11. Yes, the movement is still alive. But when will it succeed in getting a new credible and comprehensive government investigation? That is the issue. When people in the public spotlight do not support the truth movement, as the head of WikiLeaks has done, it is a sign that success remains elusive. One truther exception was Daniel Sunjata, a lead actor from the popular FX television show "Rescue Me." The coming anniversary of 9/11 will most likely show that we still lack a critical mass of public demand for a new government investigation. One glimmer of hope might be the wide scale rejection of incumbents in Congress. Do candidates for Congress support a new investigation? The truth movement should get their act together and spread the word that truthers should only vote for candidates supporting a new investigation. [Contact Joel S.

I think it was more a matter of "Battle Fatigue". I know I had a similar thought recently and the belief that the stonewall we are facing should not stop us from continuing to look, explore the data, and reach for a better understanding. It is vexing to still have to shred the same faulty arguments over and over and over and over again. As we have seen here recently there are still ardent supporters of the "Official Fairy Tale™" who will not allow the subject to be broached without immediately attacking.

Sadly there are all manner of people who suffer from the blindness of "will not see". Moral cowards. Cowards who are so cowardly that they will not even look though the penalty of not looking and seeing is such that their illusory "comfort" leads to a hell worse than that of their imaginings.

Which echoes Eric Hoffer's comment: And when the music stops they will find there is no chair left for them. They will at best be in the "upper peasant" class, and thus envied and targeted. Those gated communities are not forts. They are enclaves and the walls protect them only as long as society remains more or less civil. In a social breakdown, major famine, etc., they become a "resource". If they think hungry people won't storm the palisades they have learned nothing from history. The first people the Nazis, and Lenin/Stalin, "eliminated" were the uber loyal who thought they were to benefit.

Hungry people WILL eat if they can get access to food. A friend, someone from long ago, told me something I have never forgotten. He said that "As long as all these grocery stores have plate glass windows I ain't going hungry."

There are still people that believe that our government is acting in accordance with Christian (Christ taught) teachings too.

Unfortunately, and equally reprehensibly, is that they are often distracted with visions of wealth via the dangling of some lifelike plastic carrot out in front of them. How quickly these people fail to realize that as quickly as it comes it can also go or be taken.
"A government powerful enough to give you all you want is powerful enough to take it all away."
As I've been insisting for years, after 9/11 people traded their liberty for wealth and that the next phase was to get them to trade their future financial liberty in exchange for what has the appearance of the amassing of wealth. Interestingly, perhaps the single biggest demographic that has a chance of influencing people to realize what's really going on are blindly absorbed in attempting to amass as much wealth as they possibly can w/o seeing what's truly going on.
Those people will find out soon enough that all of what they think they're amassing and saving for will not be there in ten years because of State Security.
