Part Two: Is history inconsequential AND is the planet on the path to self-destruction?

This is going to be a three-parter. And this entry will be Part Two to the heading above. The two questions posed are too ominous to leave to just one more entry.

Is history inconsequential?

I do have an answer to that one and the answer is “No!”

When we are talking about history, I believe we are basically talking about stories that have to do with what is considered to be “the past”.

Don’t people take these stories and shape their own lives and beliefs and communities around, with, and through the stories?

Well, if that is the case, how could history be considered “inconsequential”?

Problems arise when we consider that people do shape communities by shared stories AND that filthy omissions and distortions in some of these stories are perpetuated by people up to no good.

Because of lies, what if these stories are not shared by everyone in a community? What then may we make of the saying “A house divided against itself cannot stand?”

A problem related to faulty stories exists in the United States of America and abroad. Part of that problem strongly has to do with people willfully and defiantly ignoring the facts, lies, and anomalies about what really happened on September 11, 2001.

How is this for a story, for an alleged history?:

A very angry and VERY tall Muslim named Osama Bin Laden served as the guru in a cave in Afghanistan and whipped up a nightmarish scenario to teach the West (particularly the United States) that its supposed sinfulness would not be tolerated. A lesson would be taught. Jihad would ensue.

So, through his predominant influence and with the help of the alleged sharp mind of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, these very angry Muslims attracted other very angry Muslims to wage Jihad on the USA.

These allegedly deeply religious folks decided to completely overcome the USA Defense System and slam two planes into the World Trade Center. Either deliberately or as a bonus to them, the demolition of not one but two 110-story buildings would kick-in, making BOTH skyscrapers come down at free-fall speed in approximately ten seconds, pulverizing concrete in mid-air – while a transfixed worldwide populace would watch on TV in absolute, paralyzed, all-encompassing horror.

In addition, others in their Arab cadre would allegedly take a Boeing 757 flight a good ways AWAY from Washington, D.C. Then, while all of the above was in process, the religious fanatics would turn the flight BACK AROUND, go BACK to Washington, and allegedly slam the plane into the most well-protected infrastructure on the planet, the head of the most powerful Defense (War) Department on the planet: The Pentagon.

Meanwhile, because of passengers allegedly trying to take back a fourth airplane from more angry Arabs, these Muslim hijackers would slam this plane into a field, causing the pieces and parts of the aircraft to mostly vanish upon impact or at least be absorbed into a wet, gooey field. Other pieces and parts would be strewn beyond at least a five mile stretch of the planet.

And, last but not least, without even touching a 47-story World Trade Center building in the WTC complex, these angry Arabs would cause it TOO to collapse at free-fall speed (in a approximately seven seconds) at 5:20pm on September 11, 2001. This would apparently be their day as this building was not even among the WTC complex buildings that was closest to towers 1 & 2.

And, since these Arab guys were so patient, lethal, and SMART, they would be kind enough to only offer Jihad Lite. They would simply forgo slamming their planes into Indian Point Nuclear Plant near Manhattan. Did they think causing that kind of chaos would be just too mean?

I can hear: “Well, aren’t you just the conspiracy theorist?”

Well, the answer to that question is also “No!”

Why is it that people who don’t want to explore ugly truths get off on knee-jerk reactions? And why is a popular reaction in the format of name-calling with groupthink attack words like “conspiracy theorist”?

If you are concerned about the future history of the United States of America and the planet itself, you might consider peaking under the hood of where this vehicle of the USA and the planet is heading?

For starters, may I suggest the following?:

Now, what do you think? Is history inconsequential?

“We better know our history” is an admonishment that comes to mind.

Part One: Is history inconsequential AND is the planet on the path to self-destruction?

I’ve grown weary from listening to other people’s thoughts and feelings. Have you?

Does it seem like everywhere we turn we are blasted with someone telling us what is going on in the world “out there” and how we should feel about it?

From CNN to FOX to MSNBC to ABC to NBC to CBS to NPR and then all those magazines. And then all those loud, crass, radio broadcasts. And now all the podcasts. And now all the blogs. Whew. Isn’t it a little much?

Well, I guess I could start my own online podcast and tell the world, “Hey, you! Stream this!” But, the point is I really don’t have a lot of answers for folks out there. I’m more interested in posing questions. Yes, questions for me and questions for you the reader.

And, by the way, if you the reader have some answers, comments, or more questions, you may always electronically fire them off to me at tarbellblue@hotmail.com - or simply use the Comments section following the post.

Last night, my partner posed this question to me:

“Are you optimistic about the future?”

Well, my first response was, “Well, what future are we talking about? Our future? (as in you and me and the family we’ve created?) Or something broader?"

I got a little clarification: Our future in the United States of America, and by extension of that, the future of the United States of America.

Whoa. I do have a lot to say about the U.S.A. but, then again, I do have a lot to say about the planet. (And I am talking about Earth.)

But what I have to say may not necessarily be right or true. It’s just what I’ve got to go on given the limited knowledge and information with which I am working.

I’ve also got my gut. And that counts for something - and probably should be more relied on these days than a lot of other sources.

Now that I’ve got your attention with my introduction and the burning questions “Is history inconsequential AND is the planet on the path to self-destruction?” please look for the forthcoming Part Two of this post.

As you guessed, discussion and more questions will be posed.
