This writing has moved me deeply. I generally dread 9/11 anniversary pieces, and I felt no different about this one when I saw the first photo. But what an important moment we are in, here, from a hilltop view over the landscape of almost 25 years and we can see now that certain features have the same seismic origin. I am grieving, especially now, from this place, where the damage is so apparent. My heart is broken and I'm willing to cry where I haven't before.
I checked the newspaper depicted above — WTC 7 gets ONE sentence in the lead article after the jump (on page A-14) which says "another WTC building fell down in the afternoon" with no other reference, quotes or explanation. Just like that — a 47 floor steel tower with many floors occupied by federal regulators, the Secret Service, the FBI and the command center — falls down — in its footprint — not having been struck by an airplane — and it gets ONE sentence. That is a coverup — and it astonishes me how these people can think they are journalists and live with themselves...how their conscience is not in agony. I guess as far as they're concerned it's all for a good cause.
In my edition of the paper, WTC7 is mentioned right before the jump, without specifying WTC7, "The collapse of the towers caused another World Trade Center building to fall 10 hours later, and several...[Jump]..other buildings in the area were damaged or aflamed (sic)." This was indeed the first explanation offered for WTC7 falling, that it was "undermined," like what happens in earthquakes. This explanation was pulled ( :-)) after less than 24 hours, when it became clear that the collapses of the towers caused tremors of magnitude 2.1 and 2.2, while WTC7 was designed to withstand magnitude 8, a million times more powerful a tremor. Another explanation was put forth by FEMA in 2002, but it was deemed by the analysts "low probability." The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) put forth a preliminary report in 2004, which was repudiated in the final report issued 8/21/08, modified 11/1/08. That final report is utter nonsense. For a good analysis of the Twin Towers see
Structural Engineer, Roland Angle, P.E., delivers WTC FACTS to the Public, AE911 Truth Staff, 5/22/23.
Regarding the Pentagon, whatever hit it (i am pretty convinced it was NOT a large plane) did NOT cause most of the damage and casualties, which occurred away from the impact spot and path of travel through the Pentagon by whatever hit it. And clocks were stopped at 9:34AM, whereas the alleged impact happened at 9:38AM. See
Brilliant piece, Eric. "The wounds inflicted by the Sept. 11 incident have been left untended . . . neither as a society nor as individuals have we begun to process the grief it created." Absolutely. Your writing helps me in my own grieving process. Today, I add a prayer that more of us are able to summon the courage to feel into our sadness.
“In the days following the tragic September 11 attacks that killed thousands of innocent people and shook the nation to its core, New York State and the entire country came together in a remarkable show of strength to set aside differences and unite to persevere against terrorism. We remember today that feeling of unity, and recognize and honor the brave first responders who sacrificed their lives and health on 9/11 and during its aftermath.
“As students born in a post-9/11 world continue to attend college, it is the duty of SUNY and other educational institutions to help them understand the challenges the country faced in the aftermath of September 11, and ensure they reflect upon the idea that the United States is a nation that is strongest when we stand together.
“We must continue to ensure the nation, and future generations, always remember this tragic day in American history.”
I have been a reader for about 18 years, no disagreement about the impact of the digital environment; most folks have no idea how negatively and insidiously it is impacting every aspect of their lives, right down to their very humanity...subjugating what it is that makes us human. No kidding. Over-use of technology is also robbing us of our personal autonomy.
Like you, I have been seriously and professionally "studying" the environment for 30 years, as a communications professional, a holistic healer and also as a certified personal development coach. Technology and tech tools are key; second only to money.
Want to revive your consumer-driven economy that does not support the majority of your population for the past 30 years? War can do that. Want to slow things down so you can get a handle on a faltering economy? A "great" big recession can do that. Want to stop the economy before it collapses and sets off a world-wide depression? A pandemic can do that.
The limitations and direct impact of the digital environment on who we are and how we are...are myriad. Most significantly and simply?
On our common sense, our our ability to discern fact from fiction - truth from lies, common sense from manipulation - and our ability to be mature, emotionally responsive individuals (those with strong personal autonomy)...rather than devolving, emotionally reactive individuals.
It was bogus, in my mind, From moment one! This will all come out,meanwhile we all must pay attention to what is real.
Love the images of the Clearwater! I hand sewed leathers in all the clews of her mainsail when I worked at Arlantic Sails in Portland, Maine in the 70s! She was a beauty and served such a wonderful purpose!
I did a tarot painting of the Tower which features an expressionless man in shorts falling with the burning towers behind him. I can’t post photos here but will try to email to you at pw email
Which is a fallacy: two different methods of solving a difficult problem are not the same because they effectively resolve the problem of conquering Asia.
Perhaps, Asia must not be conquered, and that's why the problem, which is the knot, which is the Bill of Rights exists in the first place.
The attack on September 11th 2001 was, among other things, a means to the destroy social cooperation, which is necessary for the rule of law and not of men.
Thanks for the Hudson River scoop photos. Since last we talked, I've had a sailing episode and the knots give me some secure feelings, even just looking at them.
Thankyou for your insights over the recent years expressed in radio and writing. You always add that zooming-out effect, to go beyond mere commentary or opinion and speculation. I suppose astrology is the ultimate zoom out. How do the facts, in concert, add up? Start with facts, the Knowns, and work up and out.
I think taking Birds Eye views is the starting point for change - changing perceptions, comprehension, and acting accordingly. It’s starts with facts in the ground. Ground Zero. I ask myself what is the prime weapon being used against us in this and in the COVID era? ( both of which still deeply affect our minds, not to mention the architectures of deeper social control which they spawned) … and now during Trump 2.0.? And by extension the “murder” of Charlie Kirk. What is the most basic human feeling triggering heightened anxiety? FEAR. The weaponization of fear is steering the agenda and guiding the narrative in all these goings-on. Fear is the Key. (Isn’t that a Fassbinder film?). We must be made to feel unsafe and that anything bad can happen. Nothing actually bad even has to happen . As long as we are afraid we can be manipulated. It’s a natural response and that’s exactly why it works. How not to stay afraid? My wife’s in Katmandu right now. Curfew… more fear, but it’s not that bad. It could even end well. The internet is back on there. For me , it’s moving out of the comfort zone of my own house and mind and going outside. Things ain’t that bad... Those are the facts on my ground. Think about the innocent folks in Nepal….Give the neighbours donkey a few carrots…Take a walk, pick some mushrooms, talk to the neighbours in broken French or at least say hi to those strangers I pass. Risk being seen. Everyone in France does that. Like in Mexico “L’huile delicat”. Cheers
But the interesting thing is how people will insist that the airplane is there in photos where it clearly is not...they will go on and on...it's in there! but it's not.
Top right inset is within the first 30 minutes; you can tell because the wall is standing and has not collapsed outward; the main photo is on day three.
I always find your commentary and interviews on 9/11 thought provoking and learn something new each time I read one. That incident had a world- wide impact. I live in Australia so I woke up to the media frenzy and recall being deeply shocked and I cried. I cried because of the violence of what I saw and for the pain and misery it caused people. I don’t recall getting on the vengeance band wagon, I just recall feeling a deep sadness for the people who died or were injured.
Thankyou for such a rapid reply, I scan read the link, I was given a 3 hour video tape that actually revealed the truth of that significant date that changed the world overnight. Peace and love 🏴☮️🙏🏻
Me personally? That day I spoke with my colleague Rick Levine and said that only the C*A or the Mo***ad could have done it. Here is my first analysis of the evidence from March 2002
I'll take your question as one for all of us here, thanks David. It was a slow awakening for me, took me years to accept the alternative narrative. I was one of the trauma-bonded people you so eloquently describe in your article, Eric. When the covid pandemic hit, I saw through that and was then able to take in the truth about 9/11.
I was in a process of slow awakening when 9/11 happened. I had read "The Creature from Jekyll Island" and "Bechamp or Pasteur?" so I knew that the world was not as I had been taught. When it happened, I was fresh from seeing "Fight Club" and imagined the anti-globalists had done it. I can't remember when I realized it was an inside job and certainly it was Eric's reporting that fleshed-out the story and its evidence for me.
I told my colleague the next day that the entire story smacked of being an op. We both became members of the 9/11 truth movement by year's end, though we had no idea just how fake the official story was till 2003.

see the testimony of Steve Inskeep. It's probable that nothing hit it, or that whatever did was diversionary; fireworks
Whatever hit it was totally a diversion, just like with the Twin Towers, given where the damage and casualties actually were inside the Pentagon.

This reminds me of the Gordian Knot story.

Here's the front page of the NYT the next day. Photo of Pentagon not showing airplane
https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/packages/html/nyregion/9-11imagemap.html?module=inline
that looks like a box with a sheep in it. I don't see an airplane.
exactly .. no airplane visible ..
But the interesting thing is how people will insist that the airplane is there in photos where it clearly is not...they will go on and on...it's in there! but it's not.
