Being a 911 Truth Activist

Most activists, one supposes, are
impatient by nature, but time-adaptable. The reason they (we) are activists is
that they (we) are not satisfied with things as they already are and want to
correct the shortcomings and glitches in reality that propel them (us) to
activism. We are, most of us here, up the wall unable or unwilling to
accommodate ourselves to the 9/11 crimes against humanity and every person and
nation remaining not only unsolved, but with no serious attempt ever having
been or being made to resolve and exact atonement for them on the part of any
of our civil authorities – damn the Constitutional guarantees of due process
that we were schooled to expect, take special pride in, and justifiably rely
upon.
And compounding the already much more than
sufficient gravamen of our disquiet,
we are, most all of us, white-hot perturbed and ceaselessly angered by the
steadfastly-maintained web of patent lies and scientifically absurd cover
stories and the accompanying incredible psych job that have so effectively
lulled and pacified most of the domestic public, turning even most of the
smartest, avowedly vigilant into (perhaps cowering or calculating, but
certainly complicit) non-activists re both 9/11 and its procedural neglect. We can count even the usually forge-ahead-regardless ACLU among the
AWOL. The official cover story and lies have effectively solicited the vast
majority’s silence and compliance even as our mounting trillions in tax dollars
and good name have been trashed in fomenting mayhem in the Middle East and a
militarized emergent police state at home. And this while the legitimate
purposes of government at home as an organizer, arbiter, and abettor of civil
society have effectively gone to hell.
O.K. So, we’re activists about 9/11 to try
to rally public support for imposing justice on enormous catalytic crimes that
have been used to subvert and defeat the promise and good intent of our world.
Accordingly, being justifiably convinced of what we are convinced of, we can
all agree we have to do something.
Since
a simple phone call or letter to an authority to start the ball rolling have
been more than amply proven in this case to lead nowhere, ever, for any of us, our
next logical step is to pick up allies and increase our numbers, by education
efforts aimed at our fellow citizens where necessary, to gain numeric and
awareness power for effectively exercising our Constitutional right to petition
for redress of our grievances. And,
certainly, the steadfast refusal of all Constitutionally-based civil
authorities facing us as a mute and immutable stone wall to establish our
safety by pursuing the Constitutional mandate of due process in a matter as
grievous and consequential as 9/11, is the grievance
of grievances of our time, meriting the rapt attention and continual
activism of all of us who give a damn.
And no other logical or reasonable inference can be drawn.
And so, we are right to be activists. More
than right, and we should, seeing past our differences, do all that we can,
together and separately, rallying in groups to do whatever we cannot do alone,
to bring widespread awareness and always nonviolent force to our common endeavor
of bringing justice to the still-ongoing crimes of 9/11 and their cover-up.
But, at what cost? Well, if we choose to
be more active, more responsible, as opposed to less, it’s going to claim more
of our attention and time. That’s going to expose us to more of the very real
public and social consequences, such as possible scorn and ostracism, job loss,
severance or straining of relationships we cherish with those who find it
immoral, wearying, and even psychologically questionable or objectionable not
to just “go along”, but to fight. Probing 9/11 is challenging and exhilarating.
It’s a non-stop battle, and it can also lead to new friendships and greater
understanding of all that surrounds us. But it is also a wearing and
frustrating occupation, testing our resolve. The attributes it calls for are
persistence (above all), caring, patience with others, uncompromising honesty
and fairness, uncompromised logical thinking, and a measure of selflessness, to
let others, their discoveries, and their ideas also receive their due. We all
need the capability to encourage, recognize, learn from, and support one
another on our common journey. In other words, we are all called upon to be our
best selves and an inspiration outward.
That’s what the world needs now. Our route to it, by perseverance, is
clear. We need to turn the nation’s thought, as was done to end the Vietnam
War. And then, we will win.
