Possibly - we will be disappointed. There are no sure-things in the world of 9/11 Truth activism. In fact, we all live with the knowledge that the deck is stacked decisively against us.Seeing this effort move forward the way it has, I'm really frustrated feeling like the movement is NOT wiser and stronger. But I certainly hope so.
I also hope that John and Jon, two people who have earned my respect for their concern and efforts over the years are able to work from the inside to keep this thing in bounds. But that's a tall order, and they are only two people.
There really aren't all that many who know where those boundary lines fall. John and Jon won't have a lot of support. I will very likely be one of those who's supporting their critical engagement from the outside. And it's really frustrating that Jon seems to think I have some kind of ego based reason for my concern.
THERE ARE MAJOR PROBLEMS AND REASON TO BELIEVE THEY WILL BE DIFFICULT TO ADDRESS
And I really believe that both John and Jon will end up being disappointed to find that their efforts are in vain. I COULD BE WRONG. Of course. However, all my griping is based on the possibility that I'm not. Of course. - Jules (TruthMove.org)
But - having said that - let me try to explain why I have chosen to endorse NYC CAN.
NYC CAN has gained the support and participation of some of this movement’s most credible activists. Kyle Hence is now closely involved with this initiative. There are few in this movement whose judgment I respect more than Kyle Hence.
Coleen Rowley – an Ex-FBI agent named one of Time Magazine’s ‘People of the Year” has endorsed the initiative.
Lorie Van Auken is named as a commissioner. Over 100 victim’s families, survivors and first responders have signed on.
I’m sorry – but I think the commitment of these people to publicly go on the record and call for an investigation of 9/11 is something we all have a RESPONSIBILITY to support now.
Things have changed Julian. This thing has gotten MUCH bigger than Les Jamieson and Edgar Mitchell.
These legitimate and sincere people are making a commitment Julian, and I think you need to think carefully about the cavalier way in which you dismiss their influence, their determination, their good judgment, good will and common sense in dealing with any potential problems which may arise.
This initiative does not BELONG to Les Jamieson or any of the other activists you have expressed concern about. The initiative belongs to the people of New York and the 70,000 people who signed the petition, and the victim’s families and survivors and first responders who are bravely putting their good names on the line to endorse it. And, I cannot imagine the misplaced logic that would dictate that a self-ascribed 9/11 Truth activist would refuse to support their commitment to stand together and lay claim to what is rightfully theirs.
This is their initiative Julian – and it is the responsibility of every sincere 9/11 Truth activist to stand with them and fight to make sure their interests are protected.
What do you suggest we do Julian? Throw away the 70,000 petitions for a 9/11 investigation? Block the initiative from making onto the ballot? Feed the media ammunition to shoot down the efforts of Lorie Van Auken and all the other families – by continually highlighting the Edgar Mitchell UFO issue?
At what point do you become an enabler? At what point are you doing more damage to the reputation of these good people than Edgar Mitchell himself?
These are things you need to consider.
My proposal: Join us – and put your considerable intellect to use to ensure that the initiative is protected from our enemies.
