list gets updated regularly. One of the best and most powerful sites on the net in my opinion.

Why do we not have a new investigation yet? The media... the corporate owned, mainstream whore media!

Is the TM dead? Is it gaining momentum? All I know is that we probably only have two years left, more time if Giuliani gets elected.

I remember posting on the From the Wilderness blogs a post similar to Painter's first on this thread. It got a response which was, "forget trying to save anybody. Forget trying to save the world. The world doesn't want to be saved. Do what you can to prepare yourself for the crises of the future." In other words focus your studies not on shaping a politically relevant movement or on figuring out to the last detail what happened. Carve out some time in your studies for research into survivalism. Focus less on saving others and more on saving yourself.

Probably smart advice there. America isn't ready for a revolution, which is what 911 truth should bring about. America is only ready to eat a hamburger, pop a Xanax and drive a huge SUV through prefab suburbs made of particle board.

Very cynical perspective you've got there, GH. Not saying your wrong, understand, just that it doesn't leave much room for any real hope. Survivalism isn't going to work unless you can either get yourself to a remote, mountainous island with lots of room to grow food in the higher elevations or to another habitable planet. This chapter of human history may be coming to a close but civilization has existed prior to technology -- and can continue to exist even should technology (as we know it) no longer be possible. Of course we're talking reduced numbers -- after all, it isn't too few resources that is the problem anyway, it is too many people. And, really, the bigger problem is the whole "survivalist" attitude of "it is a jungle out there and I'm going to get mine so f*ck everyone else."

Humanity has survived as long as it has because it has learned to cooperate and to share social (read survival) responsibility through families, tribes, vilages, cultures, city and nation states. Back in the Sixties we got it -- we're at a new social threshold that is planetary in scope. Unfortunately the frames of mind that were dominant in the pre-cybernetic era -- the pre-industrial and industrial "I'm for mine own and nothing nor nobody else" mentality has remained dominant. THAT is what could be humankind's down fall. And so because the real issue has to do with where we draw the lines of the 'self'. We are at the cusp of a new, and truly revolutionary understanding of ourselves as individuals, as groups, as humanity as a whole, in relationship with the greater mind of nature. We've fu*ked up bad -- and I'm not just talking about global warming. Not only have we fouled our own nest and are depleting its resources at an alarming rate, we've not understood that, on a very deep (for lack of a better word) 'spiritual' level, WE and the EARTH are one thing. Epistemology is key.
