September 11^th 2002 – one year after. What would be better than a “Hint”-e-Mail? I also would like to join the common remembering. And in fact I have to state that for me the world wasn’t the same anymore after September 11^th. It wasn’t that very day though, but moreover a series of “coincidences” which led to situation that today, on September 11^th, 2002, I can look back and say: “For God’s Sake, things are not the same anymore.” Some of you who tried to calm me down (in two ways) saying “Micha, that’s nothing new.” may have already noticed (in their own way): the world is the same, but my (our ?) perception and consciousness has been changed. And slowly the “Hint”-e-Mails seem to reach their virtual arrival point which is actually more a starting than an arrival point: Reconquering our consciousness. But more of that later on. Today is “September 11^th” and for this reason a summary of the past year is more suitable.

Since I am always one (or many) steps behind, I leave that to people who have looked behind the curtain much more than I have done it. I have already quoted Mathias Bröckers several times and today it shall be like that again. Part 53 of his “WTC Conspiracy” Series summarises the “20 lessons of September 11^th” (http://www.heise.de/tp/deutsch/special/wtc/13139/1.html). A printout of the web page „500 Frequently Asked Questions“ (http://broeckers.com/500%20FAQ.htm) would be a nice “Anniversary Present” for Mr. Bush.

Besides, Bröcker’s book „Verschwörungen, Verschwörungstheorien und die Geheimnisse des 11.9.“ („Conspiracies, Conspiracy theories and the secrets of September 11^th“) was published by the publishing house “Zweitausendeins” (“Two Thousand One”- http://www.zweitausendeins.de/). According to the information on http://broeckers.com/reaktionen.htm the fourth edition is already exhausted! Well, there seems something going on in the German State. At least this strengthens the hope. But I think, that as long as we are in the global “war on terrorism” the global “war on dumbing-down” has to be continued. 

One thing should be memorised after one year of the “successful fight against the Evil” in this our world: there are many truths and this has always been like that. And our all job is to keep that alive  in future. If we restrict ourselves to one single truth then we do exactly the thing that official media blame us to do – enunciating conspiracy theories. Bröckers found better words in an interview with the “Neues Deutschland” (“New Germany” - http://www.nd-online.de/artikel.asp?AID=23044&IDC=4&DB=O2P - only in German):
“You can escape this trap [enunciating conspiracy theories] by considering different aspects, analysing the motives of all actors, not losing the look on the whole thing. Conspiracy theorists tend to draw a fast conclusion: This one must have done it. I have always tried to avoid such kind of fast conclusions. I don’t sell a conspiracy, but an anti-conspiracy theory. For me it is important that the Al-Kaida world conspiracy rubbish made by Bush & Co. including all its consequences for our collective life will be recognised as such. Nothing more and nothing less.”

You may impute and also excuse that I often rely on Bröcker’s sources and information, but again I would like to say that these are all “Hints” and not “Evidences”.

My “favourite” magazine – the SPIEGEL – praises its own (very successful) “September 11^th“ chronicle on page 5 (issue 37/2002). The critics (winner of the Pulitzer Price Ian Johnson and the writer John le Carré) almost loop the loop within the praising of the (literally) “by far most detailed reconstruction”, which was (literally) “researched meticulously by Europe’s most capable team of investigative journalists”. Well, let them do so – it is not easy for them as well. There must be a reason why they had to raise the price of the SPIEGEL to 3 Euros. Reason (literally): “… the advertising slackness over all branches, which also affected the SPIEGEL, and the effort, that the quality of the magazine will not suffer.”

Well, regarding the part of the sentence „... that the quality of the magazine will not suffer.” I have some remarks on the tip of my tongue. But on the anniversary I am in a rather mild and appeaseable mood. Hence I shall forget that there is still an unpaid bill between the SPIEGEL and me resp. vice versa. J Actually it was only my fault that I fell for the PR gag “SPIEGEL readers know more” for years. I shouldn’t blame the SPIEGEL for that.

But back to the topic and „September 11^th”. I think, it can’t be the meaning and the purpose for everyone to expound the real backgrounds of “September 11^th”. The virtual benefit, which “September 11^th” should bring in my opinion, is that we recover our consciousness and make it aware of things which were hidden for us until today. Because only with “consciousnessless” people (which is not that different from “unconscious”) you can carry through such a dumbing-down operation with success. The way is long, but if there was/is any meaning for the death of thousands of human beings then hopefully the waking up of more and more people day by day. We won’t prevent in a short-term perspective that innocent people will die again and again. But what was the apposite meaning of a citation of Jacques Bossuet, which caught my eyes just yesterday: “The worst you can do to truth is to know and still to ignore it.”

Have a nice, sunny “September 11^th”. Yours, Michael. 

PS: You can also forward this e-mail to people you know – I don’t mind that at all.
