<DIV>Chuck, thank you for your response. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I certainly do agree with you on the schoolbooks. I stated:
"America: all good, no bad -- this has been the LIE unconscionably taught
to us, to <U>generations of schoolchildren</U>. This is what has most
Americans living in <EM>the matrix</EM> of ignorance..." </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The book, "Lies My Teacher Told Me," the works of former teacher John
Taylor Gatto, and Howard Zinn's "A People's History..." are only a few of the
revelations that totally support our frustration on this front. So
yes, the textbooks <U>are a given</U> when it comes to distorting (and more
often entirely omitting) the truth. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Since 2002, many a night I have sat with tears streaming at the irrefutable
Evil (evil men and women) who are behind all this. BUT<STRONG>
</STRONG>there's an awakening going on, on earth -- which I think started with
the Internet. Our global connectivity and 24/7 access to an ever-updating
world library is a new force on our planet that the Liars didn't
count on -- and are making helpless little stabs at controlling -- but I think
it's too late for them. The duct tape and chewing gum with which they've
been holding together their empire is starting to give way. This is a
rough ride for all of us, but <U>collapses of what IS</U> are necessary for us
<U>to get to healthy constructs of what CAN BE</U>. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Not only are there mountains of hard evidence now pertaining to 9/11 --
such as the scientists' proof that nano-thermite was present in the towers, and
9/11 Commissioners one after another admitting the Report was based on not only
incomplete (severely edited) testimony but also FALSE data from the White House,
NORAD, etc -- but also, "unrelated" areas of research such as the
books "Genie in Your Genes" and "Spontaneous Evolution" are proving that
humanity itself is undergoing -- what I would call -- a positive mutation that
is empowering human beings unlike anything ever seen before. </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>In 1987, I had my own vision of 2012 before I ever heard all the fuss about
it, and it was an ecstatic picture of "business-as-usual" going bye-bye (before
I had any idea of how MUCH it needs to! Yes, the "end" of THAT world!)
<U>and being gloriously replaced by</U> good-hearted, awakened human beings who
live in peace and work on healthy methods for everything. Not an instant
utopia, but a mega-shift from the dystopia we have suffered and suffered.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So these are some of the reasons I'm convinced we are reaching a critical
mass, and those terrible textbooks we've ALSO suffered are going to become the
obsolete relics of a dark age. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Just curious if you 're joking about aliens? I have reasons to
believe we have some <U>very good</U> Big Brothers and Sisters interacting with
us, reinforcing the quantum change we desire, via their advanced ethics AND
technology. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Sorry if I sounded like a critic before -- I've just been involved in 9/11
Truth since 2002, presenting lectures, etc. (Although not in most recent
years because of too many family crises.) On one hand, it's
frustrating that it all hasn't broken through to mainstream yet. On the
other, I've watched the mountain of truth grow like a volcano cone.
There's just no doubt that it is going to blow. And as soon
as it does -- well, very few (Americans especially) will be able to live in
appalling denial anymore. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Sincerely, Connie</DIV>

<DIV>Connie, I am on this list because I want to know the truth (or
at least what others perceive it to be.) I'm not sure that I ever will.
In fact, I don't think it is entirely possible. I'd be happy if I
thought I came reasonably close. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Before 911, I actually thought it was possible to be fairly well
informed. However, 911 has made me almost a complete an unbeliever. I
feel confident that schoolbooks of 2020 will be full of lies. So why not
the schoolbooks of 1990? 1890? etc.?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I belong to Architects & Engineers for 911 Truth. Their goal is
to enlighten Congress. When talking to one of their organizers, I asked,
"What makes you think Congress is on our side?" She had no answer.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have come to the conclusion that people do not want to know the
"truth," or if they already do, they don't want to admit it. I truly
hope I am wrong, and that you can prove me so.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It is my guess that we are the work of aliens - but damned if I
know or even believe that. And that goes for just about
everything.<BR></DIV>
<DIV>I think our world revolves about greed - but that is just another
guess. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Tell me I'm wrong about any of this. that's fine with me - maybe
I'll learn something. Which is why I am here.<BR></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Why on earth would anyone be on a 9/11 Truth list if
they doubt the truth WILL break through? One comment was an

<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Of course there's mythology in our history, but the

<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The problem comes in with lack of truth about

be. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>America: all good, no bad -- this has been the
