Truth be known, I suffer from a kind of split personality, not the kind induced by repeated multiple trauma -- though it can be said perhaps that I am a distant victim of same, if not more directly -- but more than one psychologist and psychiatrist have pronounced me sane, stable, grounded, etc. I speak of a wide-legged stance, perhaps, having one foot in the present and one foot in the past, and I find that the foot in the past is slipping farther back in time. Today, I sit here watching my country, and the future of my children and grand-children, being placed in jeopardy by forces far different that I learned about in high school, and I look around trying to make sense of things. We face debt burden, devastating depression, unemployment, food issues, and more.
I was very caught up in 9/11 for some time -- I saw it coming for weeks, I was in the field of emergency services, I cut my teeth on being a firefighter, my daughter was in Queens that day in grad school and it was she who let me know of the event by e-mail -- but time moves on, and it was clear that the US government was lying and wasn't going to investigate anything seriously. I spent a good deal of my time professionally in the field of emergency management; I was a "victim" during the drills my step-mopther ran as a Captain in the Civil Defense in the early 1950's. I have written professionally on mass casualty incident management, training through simulation, and worked as a subject matter expert for a DARPA-driven process that brought military-style simulation exercises to computer desktops to teach civilians how to manage the outbreak of pathogenic disease, so I know something about simulation.
I do recall earlier experiences and personal research into the assassinations of the 60's -- nothing even close to that of many of the people here -- and the nagging lack of conclusion that left me.
Today (6/2/2011), I am reading of the events and individuals swirling in and around The Great War; about a month ago, I read a book based on documents and articles written in the 1790's, both relevant to the question of fakery and chicanery on that severe clear day.
Debating the plane, fake plane, no plane, video plane, which plane issues is, imho, a waste of my time. I have four incomplete writing projects waiting for me to get a round tuit.
I am already on record in a number of places; as I participated in a group of people debating censorship issues, strategy and tactics swirling around the great 9/11 debate, someone asked what I thought, and I wrote Metsuke and posted it in at least four locations, including here.
I'm sorry, Kyle, but that is going to have to suffice for now; I decline your gauntlet for the final time.
