Colonel Bowman, Joel Hirschhorn, Professor Griffin, many other outstanding engineers, scientists and just simple citizens think there is a lot of fishy stuff going on about the official version of the 9/11 event. They do not believe all those official reports, point at the obvious inconsistencies and demand a new, independent investigation. Why? They will get nothing from it. Moreover, such activity places them on the collision course with the political honchos currently at power and those had already proven such their ‘nice’ qualities like vindictiveness, deceit, ruthlessness and total lack of any conscience. Then why? What are they trying to accomplish? If by any chance a new investigation reveals something, so what? We are at war! Osama himself did not deny that his people did it. Case closed. Let’s kick some butt!

There is only one reason why those people engage in those endeavors: they are free. Freedom is a spirit; it not provided but it is either in you or not. The environment to nurture that spirit can be provided and the people we are talking about are the product of that environment- they are the real, quintessential Americans if I ever saw ones.

Once and for all they declined to be fed that BS and opted for the truth seeking.

That commitment is based on the great American feature- the fearlessness of the free individual, the self- confidence of the professional who knows that he/she can not only survive but prosper on his/her own by the application of his/her skills only. Yes, that individualism, that perseverance of the shrewd loner is the source of that behavior and if we want to praise something uniquely and most valuably American we should appreciate the DARE and bless the ones who are not afraid to go against the flow. They unite, they can become a many but it takes only one, everyone alone to make the first step. Those people are Americans, the products of the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.

They stay tall like that great man Cinque from the movie Amistad, a free man, chains or no chains. And that spirit of freedom matters the most. Oh, it matters a lot!

In 1934 in Russia, on 12/1 Sergei Kirov, the prominent communist administrator was murdered in his office by a communist, a certain Nicholaev. In about a day or two Stalin’s prosecutors published the ‘results’ of the ‘accelerated investigation’ stating that it was a complex terrorist plot of the internal party opposition and the ‘remnants of the capitalists’. Thousands were exiled, hundreds were shot and it was only a start of the machine. And millions went to the meetings demanding ‘death to the traitors’ and immediate and swift retaliation, similar to what we heard here right after 9/11. Only in Russia there was no 12/1 truth movement, no demands for a special investigation and no open doubts. Those who doubted did not go public. That is because the Russian history developed not the free- spirited but survivors. No, Russian people are not worse than Americans. But their unfortunate experience did not show that the one individual could live on his/her own without others and survive. So when they smelled the blood in the air they rushed to join together, to disappear in the collective, to dissolute. That cost them dearly this time. By 1956 when the Special Commission found out that the Kirov murder was most likely a provocation designed by Stalin himself not only the dictator was dead but 27 million died in the horrible war and many millions of innocent people perished in the hands of the govt terror. It was a hard lesson to learn, Their poet said once , ’One is nothing, one is zero’ and they desperately tried not to be zeroes to discover that in that trap of the surrender of their individuality they let themselves to be exterminated one-by-one.

Colonel Bowman and others of the 9/11 Truthers KNOW that the Russian poet was wrong. They KNOW that they are not zeroes. They KNOW that they are BIG and no one can take that away from them. That’s the blessing.

So blessed be the Ones with the Free Spirit because their will be the Kingdom of Justice.

Godspeed to you, folks! His truth is marching on.
