Digital Memory:, What some of us were thinking after 9/11 Options

[painter]

Some people are extremely organized in the way they record and save data. I'm not one of them. However, I've been digging through some of my old files and have come up with a few things that date back to around 9/11. I thought it might be of interest to some to see what a few of us were thinking at or around the time.

To set the stage, here is the email we (those of us on the cia-drugs yahoo group email list) received from Michael Ruppert on 9/11:

Subject: Start Taking Notes

Now is the time that all of us need to be the best investigators that we can possibly be. I suggest that, in the earliest moments, some of us take responsibility for monitoring CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox and MS-NBC to log reports as they come in. As with previous stories of lesser magnitude our strengths lay in keeping side by side evaluations and watching for discrepancies and alterations.

Effective response and evaluation will be based upon fact and careful analysis. These first minutes and hours are critical and we will never have them again. Please try to avoid speculation as you what will happen or who did what. We only waste the precious minutes that we have that will never be here again.

Whatever is going to happen is now beyond our control. It is already too late to change these immediate events. I have the same fears as all of you. I strongly suspect that martial law will be imposed fairly quickly.

Avoid speculation, please and become information vampires.

Prayers and peace to all.

Here's a keeper quote I came upon during this period:

"He who desires to reform the government of a state, and wishes to have it accepted and capable of maintaining itself to the satisfaction of everybody, must at least retain the semblance of the old forms; so that it may seem to the people that there has been no change in the institutions, even though in fact they are entirely different from the old ones. For the great majority of mankind are satisfied with appearances, as though they were realities, and are often even more influenced by the things that seem than by those that are."
~Niccolo Machiavelli, Discourses on Livy, Chapter XXV
