Metsuke is seeing without focusing on a single point and yet permits awareness of the total field of vision.
It becomes very difficult to discuss matters pertaining to 9/11 unless one maintains metsuke, the simultaneous near/far vision of the ancient hunter-gatherer who can detect movement on the far horizons while maintaining focus on the predator hidden nearby in the tall grass.
Much is said of religion and the need to avoid blanket or over-arching statements about a people who believe in x or y, that such might be racist or hateful, or go against someone's rights to believe and worship as they will. But religion and "God" have long been used as a propellant to war. Dylan and Baez sang to us about God on our side. Here is a 23-minute YouTube video featuring Sam Harris appearing at Idea City '05 on the role that religion plays in perpetuating human conflict: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3YOIImOoYM
It is relatively easy, too, in a discussion that is narrowly focused on some specific segment of the 9/11 question, to assume that the rest of us aren't aware of some other factors and influences, posted or published articles, web sites that have aggregated research, or indeed even history itself.
Or that additional reading and research has not been done on the events that have transpired in India, the `stans, the rioting in North Africa, the recent events in Greece and Ireland, the events in and around the American foreclosure crisis, the "bailout" by the Fed and US Treasury of various financial firms, or their history, or their involvement in 9/11.
Or that a significant degree of research has not been done to document the links between the activities and involved parties of Iran-Contra and 9/11 and the "bailout" (or theft of future generations' wealth) into the hands of a few. [See http://s7.zetaboards.com/E_Pluribus_Unum.../876643/1/ ]
Did you know that Goldman Sachs borrowed $24 billion from the Fed at 0.0078% interest? [http://dailybail.com/home/money-for-noth...m-fed.html ] It was, perhaps as Lloyd Blankfein put it, "God's work". Certainly someone was pleased, as manna flowed, and his salary has been tripled [ http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/01/salar...blankfein/ ] and he got a $9 million bonus.
Or the history of AIG, some of its key people, the history of the US state security apparatus and its historical linkages to Wall Street and the Zionist movement and the recognition of Israel by Harry Truman. [See http://s7.zetaboards.com/E_Pluribus_Unum.../878048/1/ ]
Or the role played by Kroll, as well as Marsh & McLennan (and its key players) on 9/11 and thereafter… {See the first of five parts here: http://www.commongroundcommonsense.org/forums/index.php?automodule=blog&blogid=57&&st=410# ]
Or PROmis software saga, Ptech, and the role of computers in the 9/11 saga: http://s7.zetaboards.com/E_Pluribus_Unum.../876703/1/
Or the history of the Rothschild family and its formula for financial success.
Some will think or say that this is a diatribe against the Jews, or perhaps the Israelis, or the Zionists (and there is significant evidence that there is a great deal of involvement by those parties or their representatives ion the acts before, during and after that severe clear day in September 2001). But before we go down that avenue, we must pause to consider the roles of fundamentalist Christianity in the politics of America and its foreign policy.
God is apparently a very busy deity.
We can point to the efforts of General Boykin. According to Wikipedia: Lieutenant General William G. Boykin (retired) was the United States Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence. He has played a role in almost every recent major American military operation, serving in Grenada, Somalia, and Iraq. He is currently a professor at Hampden-Sydney College, Virginia, and author of "Never Surrender: A Soldier's Journey to the Crossroads of Faith and Freedom." He served at the Central Intelligence Agency as Deputy Director of Special Activities. He has said "I knew that my God was bigger than his" when hunting down some Muslims. In 2010, Boykin, along with co-authors such as former CIA Director R. James Woolsey, Jr. and neoconservative activist Frank Gaffney, Jr., released a book entitled "Shariah: The Threat to America," published by the Center for Security Policy, "a Washington-based neoconservative think tank."[26] The book "describes what its authors call a 'stealth jihad' that must be thwarted before it's too late". In 2003, Seymour Hersh claimed in the New Yorker (US) that Boykin was a key planner, along with Stephen Cambone, behind Rumsfeld's Special Forces approach to fighting the War on Terror.[4] Furthermore, when Boykin was questioned in a congressional inquiry regarding similarities between current War on Terror special operations and USA's Phoenix Program during the Vietnam War, he said: "I think we're running that kind of programme. We're going after these people. Killing or capturing these people is a legitimate mission for the department. I think we're doing what the Phoenix program was designed to do, without all of the secrecy."[30][31]
Which brings to mind the idea of a "Spiritual Fitness" test for the military…: https://deeppoliticsforum.com/forums/sho...#post31376
"Eric Prince the founder of Blackwater is a member of the Council on National Policy [ http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?tit...nal_Policy ], an extreme secret society of evangelical/fundamentalists whose aim is to run the world for their god.

In the follow-on in that thread, reference is made to Seymour Hersh's claim [see http://cryptogon.com/?p=19985 and https://deeppoliticsforum.com/forums/sho...#post32325 ] that many senior military and intelligence community types are part of "the Sovereign Military Order of Malta [SMOM], Order of Malta or Knights of Malta for short)" and perhaps Opus Dei.
It's almost a continuation of the Crusades.

Certainly, as Secretaries of State have said, it is clear that the US military role in the world is in part to calm any security concerns that Israel might have.

Then there are the Haskells, the well-dressed man, and the underwear bomber, or the presence of the same ICTS/Israeli presence at the recent terrorist event at Dormedovo airport as was present on 9/11, or the "dancing Israeli's (and the police report of their momentary apprehension http://www.scribd.com/doc/46173840/Police-Report )("We are Israeli. We are not your problem. Your problems are our problems. The Palestinians are the problem.")
Or the history of the Israeli penchant for false flag attacks (see the Lavon affair as well as the attack on the USS Liberty), and Israeli's arrogance about international judgment in re: to the point-blank murder of a US citizen on the high seas or its subsequent white-washing.
And the presence for some time of the son of an Israeli member of the Irgun in high positions within the US Executive Branch in two administrations, or the AIPAC role in espionage, or the documented use and role of sayanim and what is widely known as "the hasbara brigade", or the revelations about MEMRI.
Or perhaps someone thinks that we haven't seen the Shulamit Aloni video about the allegation of being an anti-Semite ("it's a trick… we always use it").
And notice I haven't even mentioned Rabbi Dov Zakheim.
But, as noted, this isn't an ant-Jewish rant or even an anti-Zionist rant; my simultaneous near/far vision allows me to see and understand that there are Jews against Zionism: http://www.jewsagainstzionism.com/ Sometimes I do not hear them, though, but "it wasn't the Muslims" who did 9/11: http://www.takeourworldback.com/itwasntmuslims.htm
I noted above that sometimes people get involved in discussions about 9/11 without knowing or acknowledging that there are sources (most notably books) whose detailed and footnoted research sheds at least indirect light on the politics and the deep politics of legal events and governmental agencies. One such book is Daniel Estulin's "Shadow Masters", particularly relevant for his description of the Bilderberg network as well as for its two-chapter review of the history of Victor Bout.

Asks Estulin: 'Why would a powerful Wall Street firm defend the interests of someone who is by most reports a penniless, low-life gunrunner accused of providing material support to a foreign terrorist organization?' He provides the answer, if it doesn't occur to you…..
"…n a real world, …governments have the diplomatic, financial and intelligence clout to eliminate the elements that threaten their sovereignty and the rule of law… unless, of course, they are being used as an extension of a far-sighted agenda from behind the scenes at some of the most prestigious think tanks and foundations."
"… I was unwilling to buy the notion that for over a decade, a Victor Bout remained a step ahead of the supposedly helpless United States Government, the FBI, the CIA, the NSA, Interpol and their hundred-billion-dollar budgets, with Total Information Awareness and Echelon's global spsy system.

Another such indirectly-illuminating book is Cheri Seymour's "The Last Circle": See https://deeppoliticsforum.com/forums/sho...#post23371. My own review of the book begins here: https://deeppoliticsforum.com/forums/sho...#post27368 . The author's answers to my 17 questions follow. Note the involvement of Israeli agents, the interplay with conservative Republican players, the presence of justice denied, and the presence of people inside government who can deftly divert or prevent inquiry, investigation and prosecution. If there are people whose jobs involve "cleaning" and to prevent the investigation of crime, then how are we to know? Such is the case in re: 9/11 in the presence of "minders" in the audience while testimony was rendered, in the presence of Lee Hamilton [see this essay http://911research.wtc7.net/essays/green...ithIt.html ], in the role of Philip Zelikow drafting the outline of the 9/11 Commission report as the long process of testimony began. The crimes of the FBI are covered in depth by fruhmenschen and there is a suggested reading list here: http://www.paklinks.com/gs/world-affairs...n-fbi.html
"Citing the need to "safeguard the national security, including protection of Americans from future terrorist attacks," government officials [in a letter obtained by the American Civil Liberties Union] demanded the Commission not make further attempts at conducting a deeper probe into the September 11 terror attacks.
"As the officers of the United States responsible for the law enforcement, defense and intelligence functions of the Government, we urge your Commission not to further pursue the proposed request to participate in the questioning of detainees," the letter said.
The warning note dated January 6, 2004 has been signed by former Attorney General John Ashcroft, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and CIA Director George Tenet."
Yet we also see a great degree of research that suggests that these same people were involved in a "military black operation involving a carefully planned and skillfully executed deception": http://www.citizeninvestigationteam.com/nsa.html
Another book that provides indirect illumination on 9/11 is H. P. Albarelli's "A Terrible Mistake", whose review of the history of the CIA in the development of the tools and technologies of mind control and biowarfare also provides much indirect illumination on events of the state security apparatus in the last sixty years. But you will have to read the book yourself; I will share with you only his review of the central idea of "conspiracy theory:
quote
In many cases, the term "conspiracy theory" is used simply to dissuade the public from questioning an official account of some important historic event and/or to discredit those who do so. In fact, "conspiracy" is a legal term; it has an accepted statutory definition. It may surprise readers [but probably not those who work for a state association of lawyers] that a conspiracy is actually a fairly simple and bare bones series of actions. Very little is required to meet the standard, legal definition of conspiracy. One such definition is as follows:
Conspiracy is a separate offense by which someone conspires or agrees with someone else to do something which, if actually carried out, would amount to another Federal crime or offense. It is an agreement of a kind of partnership for criminal purposes in which each member becomes the agent or partner of every other member. It is not necessary to prove that the criminal plan was accomplished or that the conspirator was involved in all stages of the planning or knew all of the details involved. The main elements that need to be proven are a voluntary agreement to participate and some overt act by one of the conspirators in furtherance of the criminal plan. If a person has an understanding of the unlawful nature of the plan and knowingly and willfully joins in that plan on one occasion, that is sufficient to convict him even though he had not participated before and even though he played only a minor part. A conspiracy may exist when the parties use legal means to accomplish an illegal result, or to use illegal means to achieve something that in itself is lawful.
Wheel and chain conspiracies are two types of conspiracies described in prosecuting offenders. A chain conspiracy involves parties linked together in a linear fashion. Typical drug and firearm smuggling organizations are chain conspiracies. It may consist of a series of drug deals, from manufacturer to street dealer. In a wheel conspiracy, the ringleader is the "hub" and subsidiary parties are the "spokes". It is generally easier for prosecution to prove that a "chain" constituted a single conspiracy than it is to prove that a wheel was a single organization.

http://www.brasschecktv.com/page/1020.html
One component in the armamentarium of 9/11 truth becoming justice is the effort to ask governmental officials to act on the statute known as misprision of treason. If we are going to ask out governmental officials to enforce such a law, we must also undertake our own adherence to the idea that we are obligated, where we see evidence of treason, to call it out and call attention to it.
"In America, telling the truth is a treasonous act. The inverse of that is that selling misinformation in a republic and an open society is behavior that brings rewards from the centers of control. Without appropriate social agreement or understanding, we are simply telling lies to one another. That's the way it works in non-dysfunctional relationships. We then have what amounts to a Potemkin village, a maskirovka, in which purposeful deception is allowed and fraud and corruption are actively promoted as the way of transaction."
It becomes very difficult to discuss matters pertaining to 9/11 unless one maintains metsuke, the simultaneous near/far vision of the ancient hunter-gatherer who can detect movement on the far horizons while maintaining focus on the predator hidden nearby in the tall grass.

One component in the armamentarium of 9/11 truth becoming justice is the effort to ask governmental officials to act on the statute known as misprision of treason. If we are going to ask out governmental officials to enforce such a law, we must also undertake our own adherence to the idea that we are obligated, where we see evidence of treason, to call it out and call attention to it.
"In America, telling the truth is a treasonous act. The inverse of that is that selling misinformation in a republic and an open society is behavior that brings rewards from the centers of control. Without appropriate social agreement or understanding, we are simply telling lies to one another. That's the way it works in non-dysfunctional relationships. We then have what amounts to a Potemkin village, a maskirovka, in which purposeful deception is allowed and fraud and corruption are actively promoted as the way of transaction."
