Thanks, Jeff<br><br>I read it. I am filled with premonitions and forebodings lately, such as I've never experienced before.<br><br>One of my biggest fears is that 'overnight' the Internet will disappear and we will all be forced to live with the Mainstream Media as our Information Source without any recourse to alternative news.<br><br>This would also throw governments and businesses into chaos as they have all been [stupidly, as I believe] moving inexorably to a 'paperless office'.<br><br>So, in one fell swoop, many of us would be out of jobs and forced to swallow disinformation about why it all happened.<br><br>GC <p></p><i></i>

I tried posting this, but it didn't show up under your article.<br><br>So here it is again.<br><br>Hi,<br><br>My experience of that day was not so dramatic, but interesting, I think. That morning I got a call from my assistant which woke me up. She said she wasn't going to be in to work on time because she was trying to get a hold of her sister, who lives in New York, and wasn't able to get through. She couldn't get thru to her regular phone. I asked, "did you try her cell?" "Yes, but that's down too." I had no idea what was going on, but said, nevertheless, that it was of course because "New York was under attack." We talked, vaugely, about that being a possibility for a minute and then I started to feel guilty that I was breaking some sort of Karma rule talking flipantly about her sister being in danger. So then I threw out, to make the joke more ridiculously obvious, "I hear they're hitting Florida too." She started talking about, well, we don't know how many planes have been hijacked at this point. That's when I got confused and asked her. "OK, this is weird, what are you talking about?" She said, "you don't know?" "No, you woke me up". "Turn on your TV." "OK." I did, and was in shock.<br><br>I don't know what that experience means. <p></p><i></i>

Great post Jeff. I too am a fan of Sheldrake, having been seduced by his theory of morphic resonance some time a go. <br><br>Meanwhile, my 9/11 story is simply this: <br><br>I drive home each night past SFO and on 9/10 I was in traffic on 101 near the airport when a passenger jet screamed by over head taking off to the west. I looked up and saw the belly of the aircraft through my sun roof. It seemed very close and very loud and I tend to be sensitive to loud noises so it startled and irritated me - adding to my frustration in the traffic. Yet, it was a discreet event. I've never been caught beneath a plane like that before or since and the sense of loudness and speed stuck with me. <br><br>I didn't make the connection for a few days - even though I saw all the footage of planes entering buildings etc the next day. Instead, it dawned on me a few days later. As my mind continued processing what had happened on that awful day, I was suddenly struck by the powerful memory of seeing that planes belly through my sun roof and the alarm it caused me. <br><br> <p></p><i></i>

I had an eerie presentiment on 9/10/2001. Some friends and I were discussing the idea of bringing a performance group to Baltimore for some shows. The group reenacted airline crashes, with real dialogue based upon black box recordings, and with a minimal set made up of chairs to resemble airplane seats. At one point in the night, we decided a good opening date for a show would be 11/11, and we started riffing on the numerological significance (yes, it was late, and yes, we had been drinking a fair amount of beer).<br><br>The next day, needless to say, we scrapped that idea. <p></p><i></i>

my 911 story isnt anything huge. but here goes.<br><br>i was 15 when 911 happened, i was in high school at the time so i was getting ready for school that morning. i saw the whole thing happen live, which i suppose many people didn't? i live in the central time zone so the first plane hit at 7:46 am. i didn't know this ofcourse until a news break broke out a few minutes later ( i was watching good morning america) it was charlie gibson's voice talking with a helicopter camera shot of the north tower smoking. he said something to the effect of 'we don't if it was a missile or a small aircraft crash'. and i had this general cynicism of the news back then especially since the crap with the 2000 election and Y2K and i said to myself 'well gee you guys broke out the breaking news thing for this?' and i don't remember much over the next few minutes. <br><br>then the 2nd airplane came into view at about 8 am and then i knew...that this wasnt an accident. then it crashed into the south tower. when it hit i said to myself 'everything changes now' then i cried for like a minute. i've never really cried about it since. it was a terrorist attack. for all i knew at that time. but heres where it gets interesting, i watched 'the lone gunmen' show the xfiles spin off during the 00' to '01 season on tv. i'm not trying to say i knew or that i want to say 'i saw it first!' but as we've talked about here, the pilot episode of the lone gunmen was about a remote controlled airplane crashing into a WTC tower for some clandestine reason. except it was at night. but anyway i was suspicious later that day, its the perfect excuse to do whatever they want. when i first remembered that lone gunmen episode it was like one of those 'oh my god....noooo..that cant be true!' moments. where it feels like your brain just turned. and you know they must of showed the towers falling 500 times, you began to see things. you think 'that defies logic', 'wheres the central core structure?', <br><br>'that looks like demolition'.<br><br>'that building collapsed into dust.'<br><br>then the anthrax attacks. and the dramatic music that was played behind the media reports.<br><br>i was in my studyhall during that whole fiasco with the anthrax in october and the substitute teacher brought up the 'anthrax stuff and how everythings changed now'. and she said 'yea just one spore of that stuff and your dead'. and i got kinda fired up and i said kind of politely, 'no actually its like 8000 spores and then you get sick', then we had kind of a discussion (there were like 5 kids in the studyhall) and i had done some research on anthrax like 2 days earlier so i knew what i was talking about. i was proud of myself, i was fighting the pervasive fear that took over this country one at a time. <br><br>i'm not trying to brag but i detected the bullshit early. i remember how on tv reverend jesse jackson was talking about his fears that terrorists were going to steal children on halloween. and i then realized 'what the fuck happened to this country?' <br><br>then the patriot act, then afghanistan. and i realized you dont solve terrorism with a big army. then i later discovered the caspian sea with its $6 trillion worth of oil and how unocol or whoever were trying to put an oil pipeline through afghanistan but couldnt because of the taliban.... <p>___________________________________________<br>"BUSHCO aren't incompetent...they are COMPLICIT." -Me<br><br>"Speaking the Truth in times of universal deceit is a revolutionary act" -George Orwell</p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=dugoboy@rigorousintuition>dugoboy</A> at: 6/6/06 12:33 pm<br></i>

You should be commended for being so aware at such a young age. Kudos to you for taking the initiative to educate yourself. <br><br>I made sure my kids knew the score from a very early age. My son got in trouble with his 5th grade teacher for announcing the Kennedy assasination was a gov't conspiracy, and his teacher called him a communist. (I still laugh about that) My daughters 9th grade history teacher called me to the school to discuss the fact that Eden was so disrespectful toward our "Commander in Chief."(Bush) That lady got quite a stern lecture on the First Amendment, I can tell you.<br><br>During election 2000, I told them if Bush gets in, we're in for horrors.<br><br>On the morning of 9/11 I was convinced this was the work of that devil and told my co-workers so. The only thing I went over the top on, was I thought we would immediately be under Marshall Law. <p></p><i></i>

I admit to watching it and thinking 'The US finally got its butt kicked' or something like that. I didn't wake up to the truth until I found whatreallyhappened.com a week or two later. Can't remember what the doubt trigger was.<br><br>But I do remember going to the university, between the first and second towers falling, to tell my students to go home and watch the news. What I will always remember is how many professors and instructors held class as if nothing was happening! I later realized that most people didn't have a clue about anything, and had to learn to hate and want revenge--everything was implanted. I remember the insistent thought that this was all designed to lure the US into an endless war that would spiral into WWIII, so the only logical thing to do would be to declare peace--the buck stops here or something. I think in the early weeks there was actually a lot of probing, searching, curiosity about Muslims, etc.--the slow hate built up as time went along, and Americans' minds were only filled with that.<br><br>I also have a video of James Woolsey and another creep on one of the main channels implanting "Osama" within minutes of the collapse. <p></p><i></i>

<!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>and his teacher called him a communist. <hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br>Same exact thing happend to my kid, that school got a combined lecture from myself and my father who showed up in full uniform. <p></p><i></i>

Sweejak. My son made his announcement in the context of a very misleading discussion of Nixon. When I went in to see her, I reminded her of his criminality, which is undisputed, and tried to loan her Sam Ervin's book The Whole Truth: The Watergate Conspiracy. She refused it, proclaiming that Ervin was also a communist. You just can't win with some people.<br><br>I told my son he was in good company. I still call him Comrade. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

[Sweejak]

Well Comrade Sunny, my situation was different. My kid told other kids that the Nazi army's back was broken at Stalingrad, not D-Day, and then he said the Soviet T-34 tank was better than the US Sherman tank, which I've heard was nicknamed the "Ronson"... after the cigarette lighter. This opened him up to being called a Nazi as well as a Commie. The other students were planning to beat him up.<br><br>I suppose this is all open to some debate, like, which variant of the Sherman? And anyway, I don't believe they faced off against each other but later in Korea. The Stalingrad 'turning point" is pretty mainstream.<br>Anyway, his first taste of challenging popular history and the consequences. We pulled him out of school although it was only a few days before the semester was over. <p></p><i></i>

[sunny]

I don't blame you for pulling your son out of school. If I had had a choice (we lived at the time in a very rural areal) I would have done the same. The students weren't planning bodily violence against him, in fact some thought he was pretty cool, but I constantly fighting against the violence being done to his mind. <br><br>In fact, come to think of it, I had to do that throughout both of my childrens' school careers. Once, I had to bless out a teacher who gave my daughter "silent lunch" for <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>giving</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> another child a quarter. Some bullshit rule about loaning money. I told her to quit undermining my efforts to mold my child into a compassionate human being. You should have seen her face. <p></p><i></i>

[Sweejak]

The school had the attitude that it "takes two" and that both were really at fault and everybody should just shake hands.<br>Bullshit, it does not 'always take two'. <br>Not only are our kids assaulted with fake food, fake news, slick and sick entertainment but they have to listen to ignorant teachers, even in college. Really, the cards are stacked. No wonder people go for home schooling. <p></p><i></i>
