Carol...

You are an inspiring writer and activist, without question. I might soon reply in more detail but here's a start...

you say "but personally I think for me, it is a waste of my time to try to figure out who are the "cointelpro infiltrators" amidst the entire movement, because if I did that, I would have no time for anything else and nothing would get done."

I respect your position on that score, but I must say that personally I do find time to do that. The time I spend online consists of 1) discussing "deep movement politics" on this site and 2) engaging the public (and the shills, both volunteer and paid) in news articles' comments section. In addition to this I try to do an hour a day of direct street outreach with a banner and flyers promoting AE911Truth.org. I have maintained more or less this same commitment for the last 7 years. Nevertheless I get accused of "doing nothing for the movement". I have lost track of how much money I've donated. I did keep track of how many deception dollars I handed out between 03 and 04 in Harvard Square--12,000. I did not at the time agree with every website listed on the note, but I know a great promotional gimmick when I see one, and the deception dollars are indeed ingenious vehicles for information-sharing. Wearing a burlesque rubber horse mask while giving them out was my own stroke of brilliance, however. :)

When I realized how much impact I as an individual could have, I decided that it mattered a great deal to me to share only the best information--in terms of accuracy and efficacy. For this reason I set up this site and began to produce my own outreach materials (GRAVITY OR EXPLOSION?, WHERE DOES THE EVIDENCE POINT?, WHY DID WTC7 COLLAPSE?)

I posted at 911blogger in the "haloscan days" and am user #86 at 911blogger.com (though since my account was last blocked I never bothered posting there again.)  Just as you discovered that as the local movement grew it became more difficult to work together, so I found that the "greater movement" (online) became increasingly divded--not always by choice.  It is natural for groups to subdivide as they grow--as natural as reproduction and evolution.  We know, however, that an unnatural process of cognitive infiltration is very likely operating in parallel to this natural evolution, and perhaps where we disagree is in our assessment of the both the potential damge such a malicious effort can have AND our ability to counter it, and in the methods that best serve us in that cause.

All for now.  Thanks, in any case, for initiating a dialogue.

 

Best wishes,
