I was playing a computer game as the first Plane hit - it was 8:46 AM their time and three hours earlier by mine - so 6 A. M. I am a not a morning person and my mornings are very laid back. I do my writing and play games until I feel like getting active around at 8:30 AM. My radio alarm rang and a favorite radio personality's voice was saying something about New York city. I usually jump up from the computer and turn it off unless they are talking about something interesting. I remember I ignored it a few minutes until a word or two caught my attention. It was then, what words - towers? New York? Pentagon? planes? crashed? bodies? falling ? collapse? that I realized something very serious had happened - was happening ... and, after listening, I ran to the T.V. and turned it on.
National Geo time line of the day I am confused to this day what time that was - were the towers already collapsing? I am not really sure. They kept repeating the same scenes again and again and the 3 hour difference made understanding when events happened more difficult. I would suggest it was early, though. But the attack on America was already proceeding as Osama and his fiends planned it. A curse upon him and his followers .... I remember weeping hysterically, crying for awhile. I am glad I was alone, my husband did not need to see me crying hysterically. I had known that a war was coming - I had seen it in a vision but I did not see the towers in those visions, as far as I know, no one saw the towers fall before they fell - it was as if someone kept that image away from the sensitives of the world - blocked it.
I could not have expected or imagine the response of many of my fellow Americans - if someone from 2007 could have told me about the conspiracy theories that sprang up like mushrooms almost instantly, I would have called them a disrespectful name or two. I could not believe the hate that many liberals have for conservatives and the President. I did not know it but the attack meant I would stay in the Republican Party for the rest of my life. I tend towards libertarianism on many subjects ( I hope that is the spelling and correct term, what I mean is that I believe is the government is best that makes the fewest rules.) in so many things that I suspect the republican is my natural party.
The craziness of these times - since the towers collapsed is almost unimaginable - Democrats claiming there is no war and that we should be worried about the environment, liberal extremists claiming Bush (who they also claim is too dumb to tie his own shoes!) did it all, the Muslim extremists claiming they did it all and are very proud of their attack on the Great Satan, thank you so very much ! Osama and his buddies want us all to submit to their leadership, wear our burkas and bow to their god of hate, Allah.
What absolute madness.
As for me - I am the wife of a computer programmer. He programs computers that cut metal. I do not know how many times over dinner we have talked about the collapsing towers and how metal reacts in extremes of heat and stress (The subject is called Statics, my husband took it years ago at the Ship Yard.) I find the attitude that we did it to ourselves both mystifying and ridiculous. I am sad that people hate their country and their president to this degree. I never hated the Clintons and do not hate them, now. I could never blame them for a 9/11 like attack. Madness comes to so many now because they have no sense and no knowledge of science and because their hate is overpowering their good sense. Beware of hate that overcomes good sense, it can destroy you.
I grieve that we are fighting this war. I wish it was not necessary - fighting a medieval religion in the 21st century is not something I really expected in my youth, or what I should say is I didn't take Nostradamus' warnings seriously, enough - the future, as it is always seems, seemed a long way off. I knew in some foggy way I would be alive in 2000 and if Nostradamus was correct, I might see the beginning of a World War, but that kind of thing doesn't seem real at 19, does it?
I grieve for the lives lost. I grieve that it is tearing our country apart. I hope the union, holds, I pray for our country, for the President, for us that we hold fast - the union broke before and the cost was incredibly high. I hope and pray we are successful and the Bin Ladens of the world do not win - I will oppose Islam as long as I breathe. Books such as Mark Steyn's "America Alone" scares me to death.
A very clear explaination of what happens metal is weakened by tempertures and pressures beyond what they where designed to resist. A computer stimulation of the plane hitting the Pentagon. Michelle Malkin is one of my intellectual heroes - a woman with the guts and gusto to oppose others and the skills as a writer to express herself clearly. I need to get that teeshirt. I will not submit!
