9/11 where do we go from here?

The day was Sept. 11, 2001, I was visiting my mom's house with my children and suddenly was awaken from my sleep on her couch. I had no idea why, but I had the distinct feeling something was wrong. Not being much of a news and politics person before, I decided to turn on the news. What I saw not only changed my life, but also the lives of millions of Americans. I knew at that moment, I was witnessing history and the world would never be the same again.

I woke up my mom and made her turn on the news in her room. She began to cry and when she could speak, the first thing she asked was, "What have we done?" Together we watched the second plane hit, we watched the coverage on the pentagon and flight 93, all live coverage.

Before the first tower fell, we heard reports of secondary explosions in the first tower. Before it actually fell, I had asked the question,"If the jet fuel burned up in the impact, where are these secondary explosions coming from?" Within what seemed like seconds, the first tower fell. I than asked,"How could a tower of that scale, virtual implode in on itself? I could go on about that day, but I will get to my point. Watching the live coverage, without editing and influence, I drew the conclusion we had attacked ourselves. My mother couldn't believe our Government could ever do that to it's people and in a effort to win her over, I wrote down the following predictions. I did so because, what better way to prove your right than to make an educated guess and be right?

1. They will blame this attack on Osama Bin Laden
(based off his family being flown out immediately, even though all other traffic was stopped)
2. We will soon go to war with Afghanistan, but we will not find Bin Laden.
3. We will extend our efforts to clean up Daddies mess in Iraq. This time over something else
(I was not sure what reason they would give at the time.)
4. We will go to war with Iran (They also hate America and the rest of the oil producing nations at least get along with us.)
5. The war with Iran will pull us into WWIII (Even than, they had the support of Russia)
6. We will get attacked while in Iraq and will be forced to retreat into Israel.
7. Israel will be surrounded by it's enemies.

Keeping in mind that it was only 2001 and I had no way of knowing for sure what would happen. There was something strong inside telling me, what I was seeing in my head was right and needed to be written down. I wrote them down as a reflection point, just how I felt after witnessing the days events. The morbid thoughts of someone who saw what was coming to pass, what I felt I was witnessing that day. I can be quoted as saying,"We are watching the beginning of WWIII".

From that day on, I felt a responsibility to become more educated. Throughout my research, I have come to cringe at conspiracy theories. Don't get me wrong, they ask good questions that we deserve answers to, but most say the same things over and over again. You can only hear the same message so many times before you just get tired of hearing about it. However, there is one question you rarely hear from any of them.

Where do we go from here?

After 9/11 we where AMERICANS, not white, black, yellow, right, left, liberal, conservative, or sheep, WE WHERE AMERICANS. Americans joined in the pursuit of justice.

You see, whether you believe in conspiracies or not, we have gone to two wars over these events. Thousands of American Soldiers have died because of these events and we have NOT been given all the FACTS. Instead where asked to support the war based off of emotion alone and told "if you are not for US, you are against US." We where made out to be UN AMERICAN to question the war or Sept.11 in public. Yet in private, 80% did not believe the explanation we where given.

So again, where do we go from here?

We UNITE, we find a common ground and stop finding the littlest things to poke fun, put down, or just plain hurt our fellow Americans. We need to UNITE once again in our pursuit of JUSTICE. Over 3000 American citizens lost their life that day, over 3000 American Soldiers have lost their lives fighting for retribution and we are now looking at IRAN. 6000 American citizens lost their live so far and countless families devastated over these events. Events that we KNOW did not happen the way they claim it did.

We need to UNITE before it's too late. I don't want to be right anymore. I don't want 5-7 coming true. I wrote those 7 predictions well over 7 years ago, on the day of 9/11. I will go into how I drew those conclusions in future post.

Please don't ever feel like there is nothing you can do, because there is ALWAYS something we can do. We can make an effort each day to lift up our fellow Americans , especially the ones who do not think the same way as you. We can come together and stand UNITED once more in our pursuit of JUSTICE, no matter what direction the fingers point.

President Obama was elected on the basis of truth and restoring people's confidence in their government. Let our voices come together and show to him the CHANGE we have been demanding for years now, TRUTH.
