11 9
Yes, today is the 15th year Memorial Day of the terrorist
attack on the USA on 9-11-2001. And yes,
11 9 is not a typo but intentional. We all have our visual images and personal
responses to what we saw and experienced on 9 11 from seeing the aftermath of
airplanes being flown by terrorists into the Twin Towers of the World Trade
Centers in New York and the Pentagon in Washington DC and into the ground in
Pennsylvania. We remember every day but especially each year on this Memorial
Day how we were effected on that day for sure but also every day since then by
the lawlessness of this attack on our liberty.
As powerful as our memories are of 9 11 2001 and the
subsequent transformational outcome that it has had on We the People, 11 9 2016,
the day after election day 9 8 2016 will ultimately reveal a new precedent as
being more historical in the transformational outcome of We the People than 9
11 2001. And like 9 11 2001, 11 9 2016 will also be for better or for worse.
Momentarily traumatized, We the People slowly regained our footing
in being awakened from our denial as we were circumstantially out of necessity
forced to answer the questions of who would do such a thing, why would they do
such a thing, and how could they justify such a thing and what should be our
response? During these last 15 years, we
have all been transformed by how as individuals, families, communities and as a
nation we have answered these questions.
Our answers and responses have brought healing and unity to
some but bitterness and divisiveness to others. Out of this We the People have
become a fractured, divided people. The
result of being fractured, divided and therefore a double minded people is that
We the People have lost our true identity and become unstable in all of our
ways. Presently, this is easily observed throughout every aspect of our culture.
In the origins of our nation in 1776, led by our Founding Fathers,
We the People found ourselves in a crisis in fighting against the terrorizing
lawlessness of King George. Our Founding
Fathers were circumstantially out of necessity forced to answer the same questions
of who would do such a thing, why would they do such a thing, and how could
they justify such a thing and what should be our response? In defenses of
liberty and being true to the identity of We the People, they wrote and signed
the Declaration of Independence. We declared our Independence. Great Britain declared war. Liberty triumphed
over lawlessness.
After all those years since Independence Day July 4, 1776,
and particularly during these 15 years since 9 11 2001, We the People have aligned ourselves
with one aspect or the other of our culture. We find ourselves once again in
discovery that our greatest problem is not the lawlessness outside of our
nation, but an identity crisis within our nation. This identity crisis has transformed who we
have become. In the desperation of this
identity crisis discernment between liberty and lawlessness has been lost by
many. Desperate People do desperate things. In desperation of finding true
identity many would have us exchange the priceless birthright of our liberty
and independence for the perverse betrayal of lawlessness and co-dependence.
Today, We the People are in a cultural identity crisis. We find ourselves in a Presidential election
cycle that is unprecedented in the history of the United States of America. In any crisis there are those who will use the
crisis instability against others. Through lawlessness they will leverage the
crisis in order to gain even more power and control over our liberty and
independence. On November 8, 2016 We the People can return to the liberty of
the sanctified common sense of our true identity and exercise our right to no
longer continue enabling the lawlessness of these controllers. 11 9 will tell
the history.
