DENIAL OF FACTS

I have labeled this post "denial of facts" for a lack of how else to explain why we deny evidence contrary to our beliefs and then label the messenger a "conspiracy theorist".  I grew up in the 60's when JFK was shot and killed and for many years believed what the media told me that Oswald was the lone gunman and I accepted that as it fit nicely into what I believed as the Government told me so. It must be true.  Later on in life after researching the UFO phenomenon because of a personal experience(in which I have written about in previous post) I was exposed to things as a member of MUFON(is a UFO group/community) in Las Vegas Nevada, that quite frankly defied reality.  This opened my mind abit and I really started to question my accepted beliefs and explore other options.  When one sees laser beams firing into space from Earth shooting at UFO's and the UFO's taking evasive actions it defies reality of excepted and perceived reality.  Now before folks say well must have been faked video, it was shot from an astronauts personal hand held cam-corder aboard the space station as they were filming UFO's outside the windows of the space station. (Astronauts are well aware that there are craft or UFO's as every flight we put into space is shadowed by other crafts observing us). Then when I saw the Oliver Stone film "JFK" it raised many questions as to the accepted beliefs I had about what really happened to our President.  Now I'm not saying everything in the movie was true or accurate, I'm just saying that my mind was open enough because of my prior involvement with Mufon to start asking questions about what really transpired to our beloved President. I must have read every book on the market ! The movie actually made me mad and angry that perhaps there was something else going on here and I was not being told the entire truth.
  Which leads me to the tragedy of 9-11.  That day a friend called me and His first words were "Kevin, New York is under attack, turn on the TV.  I couldn't believe what I was seeing.  We all saw it together as thousands of innocent people died before our eyes as the towers collapsed. Then seeing the Pentagon being attacked and the plane going down in Pa.  At the time I lived on the beach in Florida on the gulf of Mexico and I walked out to my balcony overlooking the gulf and looking up into the sky actually expecting to see incoming planes from an attacking enemy. I was afraid. Our country was under attack.  We were all traumatized as the TV kept replaying the events and they became imprinted into our minds and for me still remains.  My world view that we were safe here in America was literally shattered.  The days that followed being told that a hand full of Muslims being led By Osama Bin Laden was the culprit of all the destruction, I knew from my past experiences with the UFO phenomenon and my research into the JFK assassination, and the cover ups that things were not always so black and white.  The traditional beliefs that our country protects us and America is always the good guy had to be explored as more and more facts came out that were suppressed from first responders to 9-11 and as scientists and engineers told us that something else happened that tragic day besides planes taking down those buildings.  I researched everything I could as a way to cope and relieve my fears and anxiety and when presented with facts that conflicted to with what the government and TV told us what happened I had to at least think well there may be more to this than meets the eyes.  I looked at all the evidence and looked at all sides, being open minded and after seeing that things were being suppressed, which seems to be common, I had to become more active.  Was our government somehow involved ?  People refuse to belief this simply because its against their accepted beliefs, no matter what the evidence is.  The same is true for religion.  They have a specific belief and are closed minded to any other idea.  Refusing to believe that anything else MAY be possible is based in FEAR.  Its why people won't even look at the evidence.  I'm not going to go into all the evidence regarding 9-11 as being "inside job" as not the point of this post.  The point is that instead of being angry or mad at messenger and denying evidence to ones contrary views, explore the evidence and stop being afraid of being confused and face things that are going on in our great country that shouldn't be going on and then get angry, like I did and get involved.  I needed to as I needed to know the truth so I could heal.
