<str<strong>on</strong>g>An</str<strong>on</strong>g>d <str<strong>on</strong>g>related</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>thoughts</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Post</strong>-9/11-Truth (P911T) Millennium<br />

Background<br />

I'm not trying <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> single out any particular media pers<strong>on</strong>ality as unmindfully adhering <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> a<br />

'managed-news,' mind-c<strong>on</strong>trol orthodoxy. But for some reas<strong>on</strong>—perhaps just ano<strong>the</strong>r<br />

exasperating day when <strong>the</strong> 900-pound gorilla of <strong>the</strong> United States imperial government<br />

c<strong>on</strong>tinued its rampages <strong>on</strong> lives and liberties worldwide—this seemingly innocent column<br />

by <str<strong>on</strong>g>Mitch</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Albom</str<strong>on</strong>g> in <strong>the</strong> Detroit Free Press rubbed me <strong>the</strong> wr<strong>on</strong>g way.<br />

IMHO[1], <str<strong>on</strong>g>Mitch</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Albom</str<strong>on</strong>g> is <strong>on</strong>e of <strong>the</strong> best journalistic writers <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> planet; his output is<br />

prodigious. He's branched out in<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> books and movies, e.g. <strong>the</strong> highly acclaimed<br />

Tuesdays with Morrie. He's d<strong>on</strong>e sports biographies, writes a regular syndicated sportas-culture<br />

column, and does radio hosting, playwrighting, music composing and playing.<br />

A true Renaissance Man, and Mo<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>r City Maven. Plus an all around great guy, for sure.<br />

His column <strong>on</strong> June 7 was mainly a commentary—in light of Obama's recent speech <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

<strong>the</strong> Muslim world—<strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> insanity of Islamic fundamentalist extremists who blow things<br />

up (notably a suicide bomber in Pakistan killing 40 in a mosque). [Primary subtext:<br />

Muslims are crazy people you can't reas<strong>on</strong> with. Subliminal subtext: Support <strong>the</strong> Zi<strong>on</strong>ist<br />

government in Israel and d<strong>on</strong>'t menti<strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>on</strong>going occupati<strong>on</strong>.] <str<strong>on</strong>g>Albom</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong>n slides over<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> a supposed audio tape from Osama bin Laden blaming <strong>the</strong> United States for <strong>the</strong><br />

problems in Pakistan. [Subtext: The 9/11 Attacks by Muslims justify Christian-Jewish<br />

wars against Muslims and wholesale violati<strong>on</strong>s of liberty.]<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>An</str<strong>on</strong>g>yway, whe<strong>the</strong>r I read <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>o much in<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> it or not, it's undeniable that <str<strong>on</strong>g>Mitch</str<strong>on</strong>g> shares <strong>the</strong><br />

orthodoxy of <strong>the</strong> official government s<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>ry of 9/11, that Osama bin Laden is alive and<br />

resp<strong>on</strong>sible for 9/11, and that Western intelligence agencies—<strong>the</strong> CIA and <strong>the</strong> Israeli<br />

Mossad, in particular—would never orchestrate false-flag operati<strong>on</strong>s <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> generate hatred<br />

of Muslims and cement <strong>the</strong> c<strong>on</strong>trol of "<strong>the</strong> Oligarchy" over human lives. Since all <strong>the</strong>se<br />

premises of <strong>the</strong> Oligarchy's orthodox view of <strong>the</strong> world are dem<strong>on</strong>strably false, I feel it's<br />

important that caring, literate world citizens calmly present <strong>the</strong> reas<strong>on</strong>able alternative.<br />

Hence <strong>the</strong> following letter:<br />

-------###-------<br />

The <str<strong>on</strong>g>Letter</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

Dear <str<strong>on</strong>g>Mitch</str<strong>on</strong>g>:<br />

It appears, from your column of a few days ago (Sunday, June 7, 2009) in <strong>the</strong> Free<br />

Press, that you truly believe <strong>the</strong> official s<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>ry of <strong>the</strong> attacks of 9/11, that <strong>the</strong>y were<br />

caused and carried out by Islamic extremists intending <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> fly (and flying) airplanes in<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

buildings. As a member of Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, and some<strong>on</strong>e who<br />

has read and written about <strong>the</strong> 9/11 attacks extensively, I’m absolutely c<strong>on</strong>vinced <strong>the</strong><br />

official US government s<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>ry is deceptive <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> point of being abjectly criminal.<br />

Fur<strong>the</strong>r, in <strong>the</strong> absence of a genuine impartial investigati<strong>on</strong> of <strong>the</strong> attacks, all evidence<br />

(and reas<strong>on</strong>able inferences from <strong>the</strong> evidence) indicates <strong>the</strong> attacks were false-flag,<br />

black operati<strong>on</strong>s of <strong>the</strong> US government in cooperati<strong>on</strong> with o<strong>the</strong>r Western-government<br />

intelligence agencies. In <strong>the</strong> case of <strong>the</strong> World Trade Center buildings, I d<strong>on</strong>’t think it is<br />

possible for any rati<strong>on</strong>al human who simply looks at <strong>the</strong> physical, scientific evidence and<br />

scholarly argument <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> deny that <strong>the</strong> buildings came down through c<strong>on</strong>trolled implosi<strong>on</strong>.


The qui b<strong>on</strong>o questi<strong>on</strong> about <strong>the</strong> attacks points directly <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> Zi<strong>on</strong>ist and American-MIC<br />

(military industrial complex) groups of men. As a “wholistic libertarian” Web columnist<br />

for and proprie<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>r of TheCoffeeCoaster.com, I have written several pieces dealing with<br />

<strong>the</strong> general activities/characteristics of that fateful day:<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>Open</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Letter</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> Engineering Colleagues, Brian Wright<br />

I realize that many in journalism regard any discussi<strong>on</strong> of Zi<strong>on</strong>ism as anti-Semite, and<br />

truthfully I can understand how you might feel that way. But it’s also becoming<br />

increasingly clear that just as <strong>the</strong>re are Christians and <strong>the</strong> KKK (and o<strong>the</strong>r barbarous or<br />

racist organizati<strong>on</strong>s) <strong>the</strong>re are Jews and Zi<strong>on</strong>ist “terrorists.” Here is a guest column by<br />

Dean Hazel that explains extremely well, IMHO, <strong>the</strong> distincti<strong>on</strong> between benevolent<br />

Judaism and malevolent Zi<strong>on</strong>ism.<br />

By no means am I an expert <strong>on</strong> Zi<strong>on</strong>ism, but I’ll wager Zi<strong>on</strong>ist financial interests<br />

dominate <strong>the</strong> government of Israel and are behind <strong>the</strong> Israeli government’s<br />

expropriati<strong>on</strong> of Palestinian property and <strong>the</strong> recent Israeli-government massacre (and<br />

<strong>on</strong>going humanitarian crime) in <strong>the</strong> Gaza Strip. Though n<strong>on</strong>-Jewish—I would<br />

characterize myself as a neo-Randian, Tolleian Buddhist rati<strong>on</strong>al humanist—I’m<br />

pers<strong>on</strong>ally a member of Jewish Voice for Peace. Whe<strong>the</strong>r or not you are Jewish, here<br />

are some o<strong>the</strong>r organizati<strong>on</strong>s that favor peace and prosperity in <strong>the</strong> Middle East:<br />

Jews Against Zi<strong>on</strong>ism<br />

Not In My Name<br />

The Great Gulf Between Zi<strong>on</strong>ism and Judaism<br />

We Stand With You<br />

To Those Who Think All Jews Are Pro-Israel & Zi<strong>on</strong>ists<br />

Zi<strong>on</strong>ist Israel — <strong>the</strong> True Enemy of <strong>the</strong> Jewish People<br />

Why Orthodox Jews OPPOSE Zi<strong>on</strong>ism and <strong>the</strong> Zi<strong>on</strong>ist state<br />

It’s also important <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> recognize that Islamic-fundamentalist terrorism is itself<br />

predominantly a false-flag project of <strong>the</strong> Oligarchy that justifies c<strong>on</strong>tinued massive<br />

wealth transfer <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> military (and, yes, <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> Zi<strong>on</strong>ists), not <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> menti<strong>on</strong> death,<br />

destructi<strong>on</strong>, and blatant rape of civil liberties worldwide. (That this is so is dem<strong>on</strong>strated<br />

<strong>on</strong> a simple level by <strong>the</strong> fact that not a single Neoc<strong>on</strong> has been assassinated… and that<br />

Osama bin Laden was a CIA operative for years, and that he died years ago, that <strong>the</strong><br />

FBI and Israeli government do not list OBL as a threat… and many, many o<strong>the</strong>r hard<br />

facts of reality.)<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>Mitch</str<strong>on</strong>g>, I regard your work in sport, human interest, and commentary as generally<br />

without peer.<br />

Thus it is troubling <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> see your political commentary burdened by so much of <strong>the</strong><br />

Oligarchy’s ‘party line.’ I know your independent c<strong>on</strong>sciousness can penetrate <strong>the</strong> fog of<br />

our standard-media mind c<strong>on</strong>trol envir<strong>on</strong>ment, and I invite you <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> do so by checking out<br />

<strong>the</strong> genuine truth—much of it available through <strong>the</strong> books and organizati<strong>on</strong>s referenced


above—uncrushed by <strong>the</strong> giant electr<strong>on</strong>ic-print grist mill from which you draw a<br />

paycheck.<br />

May <strong>the</strong> SNaP be with you.<br />

Sincerely,<br />

Brian Wright<br />

The <strong>Post</strong>-9/11-Truth Millennium<br />

Recently <strong>the</strong> efforts of many 9/11 truth scholars and activists—especially Richard Gage<br />

of Architects and Engineers for 911 Truth, Dr. David Ray Griffin, Professor Steven J<strong>on</strong>es,<br />

and literally hundreds of professi<strong>on</strong>als who have had <strong>the</strong> simple courage <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> respect hard<br />

physical and forensic evidence in face of dish<strong>on</strong>est government authority and c<strong>on</strong>trolledmedia<br />

propaganda—have produced a growing body of work that cannot be much l<strong>on</strong>ger<br />

denied. Polls show approximately half or more North Americans and even greater<br />

percentages of Europeans believe <strong>the</strong> US government official s<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>ry of 9/11 is a lie. <str<strong>on</strong>g>An</str<strong>on</strong>g>d<br />

<strong>the</strong>y want a new investigati<strong>on</strong>.<br />

Three things cannot l<strong>on</strong>g remain hidden:<br />

<strong>the</strong> sun, <strong>the</strong> mo<strong>on</strong>, and <strong>the</strong> truth.<br />

— <strong>the</strong> Buddha<br />

The questi<strong>on</strong> isn't if, it's when <strong>the</strong> vast culture of <strong>the</strong> West comes <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> accept that<br />

agencies of its own supposedly legitimate governments planned and executed <strong>the</strong><br />

attacks of 9/11 as a c<strong>on</strong>trived-terrorism pretext for war. Virtually <strong>the</strong> entire freedom<br />

movement—which is always distrustful of big-government authority—has come <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong><br />

obvious c<strong>on</strong>clusi<strong>on</strong>. The truth will break through <strong>the</strong> mind-c<strong>on</strong>trol barriers (of<br />

Oligarchical media and politics and academics) <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> general public fairly so<strong>on</strong>. Probably<br />

within a year or two. <str<strong>on</strong>g>An</str<strong>on</strong>g>d when it does, <strong>the</strong> world will change... eventually, for <strong>the</strong> much<br />

better.<br />

We will have cleansed our souls of blind obedience <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> malevolent authority for all time.<br />

As Ken Jenkins puts it in his DVD, Overcoming Psychological Resistance <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> 9/11 Truth:<br />

"In part, we are currently doing some collective shadow work, exposing <strong>the</strong> darkness<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> light. Besides moving <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>ward greater truth, we are challenged <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> move <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>ward more<br />

love and more healing, more forgiveness and more wisdom. We are enough and we<br />

will succeed."<br />

"We w<strong>on</strong>'t get fooled again." — The Who


According <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> Ken, 9/11 is part of a much bigger evoluti<strong>on</strong>ary spiritual awakening that is<br />

accelerating throughout humanity. Dealing with <strong>the</strong> truth—i.e. that a relatively small<br />

hierarchy of psychologically defective powerlusters have been preying <strong>on</strong> humankind in<br />

<strong>the</strong> worst way... for decades, even centuries—and taking <strong>the</strong> small first post-9/11-truth<br />

steps <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>ward psychological independence and full political freedom will ennoble us as a<br />

species.<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>An</str<strong>on</strong>g>o<strong>the</strong>r author I've reviewed, J<strong>on</strong> Rappaport, has even come up with a beautiful,<br />

healthful visi<strong>on</strong> of this imminent future:<br />

The President has c<strong>on</strong>cerns] about <strong>the</strong> emerging New Citizen who has essentially<br />

graduated from <strong>the</strong> collective power grid of <strong>the</strong> planet in<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> a status of freedom<br />

unprecedented in <strong>the</strong> his<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>ry of Earth. [It's happening with people of all nati<strong>on</strong>s.] This<br />

development, coupled with <strong>the</strong> triumph of infrastructure-technology as usable by small<br />

companies, has made it possible for <strong>the</strong> most elementary of communities <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> own land<br />

in <strong>the</strong> secure knowledge that <strong>the</strong>y can afford <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> maintain <strong>the</strong> infrastructure of that<br />

land in excellent c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>, without reference <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>, or reliance up<strong>on</strong>, large corporati<strong>on</strong>s,<br />

power utilities, or government officials. This has made much of government<br />

obsolete....<br />

Imagine that. <str<strong>on</strong>g>An</str<strong>on</strong>g>yway, <strong>the</strong> rec<strong>on</strong>ciliati<strong>on</strong> with <strong>the</strong> truth about 9/11, and with <strong>the</strong> truth in<br />

general, is part of what many are envisi<strong>on</strong>ing as an emerging c<strong>on</strong>sciousness. N<strong>on</strong>e <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>o<br />

so<strong>on</strong> I might add. [In my opini<strong>on</strong>, 9/11 truth can break thru <strong>the</strong> immense number of<br />

barriers as no o<strong>the</strong>r single phenomen<strong>on</strong>... which is why I relish <strong>the</strong> thought of its<br />

imminence.] In my previous column, I comment <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> syn<strong>the</strong>sis of <strong>the</strong> freedom<br />

movement and <strong>the</strong> c<strong>on</strong>sciousness movement, all wrapped up in The Sacred<br />

N<strong>on</strong>aggressi<strong>on</strong> Principle.<br />

The light at <strong>the</strong> end of <strong>the</strong> tunnel.<br />
