The Coming Iceberg

In 1912, the supposedly unsinkable ship Titannic...

Perhaps you see where this is going. We often overlook evidence that is right in front of our face, in favor for the much nicer scenario that allows us our denial to continue. We "don't see" the impending divorce, the bank account that is quickly dipping into the red, the growing credit card tallies, and many other things. You might say that it's in our nature.

And like that ship that suffered so much lose of life at the turn of the last century, the same was true for the 9/11 Event. It's also true for Global Warming/Climate Change, and was true for the coming tyrannical dictatorship of the Moneyed Giants mascarading as The Little People. It's often easier to not see the 800 ton gorilla in the room about to sit on you until it's too dark and too late.

I just watched the video "9/11: Press for the Truth" about the journey from the acceptance to horrorific disbelief to downright outrage of three women (nicknamed "The Jersey Girls") who lost their husbands in the Twin Towers that were the modern day equivalent of the Titannic. Indeed, these husbands were told to stay at their desks as the deck was shifting to 90 degrees, and they accepted the Word from Above. These women, one of whom said that she voted for George Bush and then came to belief that her elected government had lied and allowed the disaster, are now forever changed in their acceptance.

In the video (and the website/book that pointed out the actual Timeline of events of the days and years leading up to it <www.911timeline.net/ >), it is shown that in the least case scenario the Bush Administration knew the attach was coming, and in the worst case, allowed it to happen.  (Only hinted at are the larger implications that it was a created event. Good thing the Congress had the Patriot Act ready to save us!)

In the case of  the Titannic, the Owners and Engineers continued to whittle down the costs (using inferior and less materials than were originally called for, as well as cutting down the number of lifeboats deemed necessary) in order to reap more profit and insure the deadly toll. There were also reports of the iceberg field that were telegraphed to the ships wireless operator that never reached the bridge and the Captain (who was alseep when the imfamous ice hit). No one was ever held accountable either legally or economically for these gross violations that led to that severe loss of life.

In the case of the modern planetary Iceberg heading our way (or soon to be lack thereof), those responsible for this coming loss of life also continue to be held unaccoutable. We continue to build nuclear power plants under the lies of "safe energy" while the Japanese plant leaks plutonium into the Pacific.

And the Global Warming deniers point to the cooling off of the planet. 'See? It's not getting hotter, it's getting colder!' Watch out for that Iceberg. It may be one of the last ones left.
