In this thread I will put page by page a draft of a childrens book about September 11. It could also be a piece of theatre or a film or an installation, or a Comic or basically any art form.
It could also with the same right be called Jonathan, Loise and the Moonshine or any other combination of words. Dont judge a book by the title!
This specific childrens book is written as a kind of birthday present for my parents and it is dedicated to My Parents, My Kids and all seekers of truth.
It could have been dedicated to anybody and anything, but I as the author chose this combination of my inner family and friends.
I intend to read parts of the book at the birthday party to my parents, maybe some family member can provide a quality german translation, or I do it on the fly, sentence by sentence, as I speak both languages.
I chose the English language for several reasons, the most important is that on the topic of 9/11 my brain works in English, even if I am a German native speaker. The other advantage is that I can publish it here without translating anything. And since 9/11 mostly happened in the United States of America, most of the Names and Places and original texts are in English anyway.
Also the parts of the internet, which I frequent, are 95% English, that may be the reason for my English brain on this topic.
Some people, after hearing the title only, said to me that it would be a bad idea to write a childrens book about 9/11. I just responded, that they had seen just the title and knew nothing of the content.
Think about that long and deep.
9/11 is so ingrained into the conscience (and the unconscious), that just mentioning the word September and the number 11 makes all of us cringe.
What happened here?
One friend of mine, a woman who I know since 1984 (coincidence?) and who at one point in our common lives I wanted to marry, showed more or less the above reaction, after I read the title to her, telling her it should be the title for a book for all children of the world, including mine, recommended me to seek professional help immediately.
I am grateful to her, but first of all I was in good professional hands, and second, is trying to write a book in which September and 11 appear, a crazy enterprise?
At that point only two people in the world had seen the manuscript. Myself, the author, and an Indian engineer collegue, whom I had asked if he could imagine that this manuscript could be published in India and Pakistan at the same time. He said, he knows nothing about publishing, but was willing to read the manuscript.
Then I managed to get the manuscript to David Guyatt and got feedback from him, which is very valuable to me.
That is the current state of affairs.
This story alone could be made into a Hollywood Blockbuster, and I am sure Sean Connery would work for free to play Grandpa.
Am I crazy or is there a certain tension in the world?
Would the New York Times publish a critique of a manuscript called Me and Hitler, or My Family and the Holocaust? I do think so.
But Jonathan, Louise and September 11 is tasteless, conspiracy drivel, without even having read the content?
I asked my female friend to imagine the following situation:
You walk with your mother through the streets of Vienna, Austria.
In a window you see an English childrens book with the title Jonathan, Louise and September 11.
Would you want to open the book?
Can you guess the answer?
She said no, and the conversation was interrupted.
Think about that long and deep.
What happened?
At a later conversation I asked her, and her mother, to imagine how the cover of the book looked like, because I gave them just the title, nothing else.
They did not yet get back to me, but they certainly will.
All this has nothing to do with me, or my kids or my family.
All this has nothing to do with Osama bin Laden or Mohammed Atta.
But it has everything to do with mainstream media. All of them.
In my view it must be the symptom of a global Post Traumatic Stress disorder in combination with Cognitive Dissonance.
7 Billion cases of psychological warfare.
Think about that long and deep.
Who comitted that horrendous crime? Al Quaida? I doubt that.
If you still can sleep well, please join the discussion.
I will soon set up discussion groups on this forum, or you can share your reactions and experiences on every street of this wonderful planet, which is in grave danger.
I have to get to bed now to keep well grounded, and leave you with a question for your homework research.
Am I a Very Stable Genius?
So long, see you.

The most relevant literature regarding what happened since September 11, 2001 is George Orwell's "1984".
