I hadn't planned on writing anything about this, but screw it. I'm sure it's on a lot of our minds today.

Something a little odd happened this morning, and it has me reflecting on that day, and now the 23 years that have followed. 


This morning I woke up at exactly the same time I did that fateful day. 

I woke up and looked at my clock and it was 8:56am. That was the exact time I was awakened that morning on 9/11/2001.

I was working at a restaurant as a server back then. I shared an apartment with a buddy of mine, and we lived your typical bachelor lifestyle. We both worked nights, and we were always up till the wee hours over the morning. Typically we didn't stir up till close to noon. We had been up late the night before, smoking buds watching the boob tube all night; as was our norm.

My phone rang at 8:56am, which it never went off that early. I knew as soon as the phone rang, that something was wrong. When I saw it was my little sister, I knew something bad had happened. 

I answered, and all she said was, "Turn on the TV. I gotta go." Click

I turn on the TV and see the first building smoking.

I immediately wake my buddy.

As we were watching and we're trying to figure out what the hell was going on, and thinking, Was this an accident, or what? It's felt like Almost immediately after this initial thought, the second plane hit.

We were in shock, as was every one else. We kept saying, "Is this real?"

The rest of the day is a fog.


When I look back at what's happened since all of that, it does seem that there was more to that than we'll ever truly know.

I posted this, so that anyone who wishes to reflect on that day, this thread is an open door to any and all thoughts about that day, and the 23 years since then. 


I know this. Even after all the hike in security, and all the "monitoring of terrorists," and the patriot act, and all that, I don't feel one stitch safer than I did before those towers fell.

R.I.P. to all that lost their lives that day.

I chose this forum for a reason. We all know who's pulling the strings.

Not a dependable power source for transportation IMO as to hot or to cold and you are walking. An EMP or a big CME and you walk, bicycle, or ride an animal. The video talks about the pitfalls of owning an E.V.

Quote:Recently, the Sichuan Meteorological Observatory has issued several high-temperature warnings, with temperatures exceeding 40°C across the province. The extreme heat has caused tight electricity supplies, leading to power restrictions in cities like Chengdu and Chongqing. This has affected industrial and commercial sectors, including the use of electric vehicle charging stations. As a result, 750,000 new energy vehicle owners are facing difficulties charging their cars.

About a month ago I moved in with my sister and brother in law, as I've stated before here. Well, they have a German Shepherd named "Hades."

He's a long hair "Leerburg" Shepherd, and boy let me tell you, he will eat your face off with a smile on his. He is an excellent guard dog, but unfortunately hasn't had much time with outsiders. He's really protective of my brother and doesn't let any one near him, really. This dog is fierce, as his name suggests. 

I had been here about a week and he had been in his cage the whole time, and had been listening to my bro-n-law and myself laugh it up, and have a good ol time as we caught up. Him and I had been friends since junior high; so him and I had a tight bond.

He decided to try and introduce me to Hades, even though my bro n law was really nervous about it. He's tried before, but Hades just never took to anyone, but him.

Then we met.

Let's just say this magnificent killing machine jumped on me like he was a puppy, and loved all over me like we'd been best friends since forever.

Now, since we keep such weird, and different hours here I sleep with Hades by my side. I've never had a dog this big, or this capable before. Hades comes from a long line of pure bread German Shepherds, and is a trained gaurd dog. If I get up in the middle of the night Hades is close by, watching, and listening for me. 
If anything goes bump in the night, this dog is right on it. If anyone has ever owned a Shepherd they know these are amazingly smart dogs, and he knows his noises well.

Needless to say, I feel pretty safe with this big ol teddy bear at my feet.

It's been an awesome experience getting to know this loyal and loving animal. Not sure what made him accept me the way he did, but I'm stoked at my new little friendship here, none the less. 

It still amazes my brother in law, sister and nieces when they walk into a room and Hades is sleeping across my lap like a giant werewolf baby.

These Leerburg Shepherd's are amazing dogs if you've ever thought of owning one. I highly recommend them.

Thanks, again, Rogue-Nation. For listening to this ol boy ramble.

we've been watching the skies for years, especially after WWII, and what have we found?  
crazy stories and a few shaky videos and all sorts of sightings of some kind of lights.

no evidence.  no footprints, no landing tracks, no entities, no crashed material (presuming the Roswell thing was just a balloon, and I'm not aware of any REAL evidence otherwise).  
no alien visitations.  no close saucer flybys.

media portrayals have led people into interpreting aerial sightings as saucers etc.

I don't think they're real.  I think the whole thing is a psyop, maybe from our subconsciouses, maybe some government shenanigans.

maybe, dare I say, demonic.  many people of faith accept there there are spirit beings (angels, demons) and many of them hostile.

I'm sure we all realize that Australia had huge empty areas that make it difficult to transport stuff.

last few years they've been using 'truck trains', large trucks with multiple trailers, on certain long, empty runs.

now, as thread title indicates, they're using AI trucks, on special AI only highways.

The autonomous fleet represents another win for safety in the mining industry. Removing operators from behind the wheel eliminates the risks associated with fatigue.
Critically, grade separation will ensure that there is no interaction between the road trains on the haul road and vehicles using public roads.

well if we can have separate rail roads no reason we can't have separate AI roads.  I certainly don't want any AI vehicles on my roads.

FBI congratulating themselves on another Khan capture...

Quote:“The defendant was allegedly determined to kill Jewish people here in the United States, nearly one year after Hamas’ horrific attack on Israel. This investigation was led by the FBI, and I am proud of the terrific work by the FBI team and our partners to disrupt Khan's plan.” said FBI Director Christopher Wray. “The FBI will continue to work closely with our partners to investigate and hold accountable those who seek to commit violence in the name of ISIS or other terrorist organizations. Fighting terrorism remains the FBI’s top priority.”

As alleged in the complaint, Khan, who resided in Canada, attempted to travel from Canada to New York City, where he intended to use automatic and semi-automatic weapons to carry out a mass shooting in support of ISIS at a Jewish center in Brooklyn, New York. Khan began posting on social media and communicating with others on an encrypted messaging application about his support for ISIS in or about November 2023, when, among other things, Khan distributed ISIS propaganda videos and literature. Subsequently, Khan began communicating with two undercover law enforcement officers (collectively, the UCs).

During those conversations, Khan confirmed that he and a U.S.-based ISIS supporter (Associate-1) had been planning to carry out an attack in a particular U.S. city (City-1). Among other things, Khan said that he had been actively attempting to create “a real offline cell” of ISIS supporters to carry out a “coordinated assault” in City-1 using AR-style rifles to “target[] Israeli Jewish chabads . . . scattered all around [City-1].” During subsequent conversations, Khan repeatedly instructed the UCs to obtain AR-style assault rifles, ammunition, and other materials to carry out the attacks, and identified the specific locations in City-1 where the attacks would take place. Khan also provided details about how he would cross the border from Canada into the United States to conduct the attacks. During these conversations with the UCs, Khan emphasized that “Oct 7th and oct 11th are the best days for targeting the jews” because “oct 7 they will surely have some protests and oct 11 is yom.kippur.”

On or about Aug. 20, Khan changed his target location from City-1 to New York City. After initially suggesting certain neighborhoods in New York City to the UCs, Khan decided to target Location-1, a Jewish center located in Brooklyn, New York. Khan told the UCs that he planned to carry out this attack on or around Oct. 7, 2024 — which Khan recognized as the one-year anniversary of the brutal terrorist attacks in Israel by Hamas, a designated FTO, which, on Oct. 7, 2023, launched a wave of violent, large-scale terrorist attacks in Israel. In support of his choice of New York City as his target location, Khan boasted that “New york is perfect to target jews” because it has the “largest Jewish population In america” and therefore, “even if we dont attack a[n] Event[,] we could rack up easily a lot of jews.” Khan proclaimed that “we are going to nyc to slaughter them,” and sent a photograph of the specific area inside of Location-1 where he planned to carry out the attack.

Thereafter, Khan continued to urge the UCs to acquire AR-style rifles, ammunition, and other equipment for his attack, including “some good hunting [knives] so we can slit their throats.” Khan repeatedly reiterated his desire to carry out the attack in support of ISIS, and discussed planning for the attack, including by identifying rental properties close to Location-1 and paying for a human smuggler to help him reach and cross the border from Canada into the United States. During one communication, Khan noted that “if we succeed with our plan this would be the largest Attack on US soil since 9/11.”


On or about Sept. 4, as Khan said he planned to do in connection with his attack, Khan attempted to reach the U.S-Canada border. To do so, Khan used three separate cars to travel across Canada towards the United States, before he was stopped in or around Ormstown, Canada, approximately 12 miles from the U.S.-Canada border.

Khan is charged with one count of attempting to provide material support and resources to a designated foreign terrorist organization. If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

The FBI New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles Field Offices are investigating the case. The Justice Department is grateful to Canadian law enforcement for their actions in this matter. The Office of International Affairs of the Department of Justice’s Criminal Division is seeking the extradition of Khan from Canada.

Assistant U.S. Attorneys Kaylan E. Lasky and David J. Robles for the Southern District of New York and Trial Attorney Kevin C. Nunnally of the Justice Department’s National Security Division’s Counterterrorism Section are prosecuting the case.

I've had this on my mind for a while now. My thought is this.

The internet was originally thought to of brought us all closer together. To spread information, and connect with one another. Distance was supposed to be a thing of the past, when it comes to relationships. Distance was no longer a factor in spending time with friends and loved ones. The internet was originally thought to of brought the world closer, as we share our lives, experiences, opinions and ideas with one another. 

The actual result is quite the opposite. 

So many opinions floating around that they've lost all value. We see fit to argue over the slightest differences of an opinion. We ridicule and mock anything that is different, as if it's somehow "wrong" just because it's not our own opinions.

We have been flooded with so much misinformation, that we don't know fact from fiction when it's right in front of our faces.

There has been so much misinformation spread that we can longer share anything that is actually Truth, without being bombarded with negative views about the facts we are trying to relate and share.

Every bit of intelligence put out on the internet is abruptly hit with counterintelligence. 

If one were to share too much of the truth that person will get into some sort of "trouble." Sharing an actual truth is something that could get them into deep water, and so it's not even safe, really, to share something with facts and proof these days.

Information is highly regulated, so even coming up with proof js damn near impossible. To even "hypothesize" on the internet these days is counterproductive. If it's not bots, or foreign agents, or local bs, then it's some dumb ass troll ripping up any good* ideas.

Sad part is, the majority of people listen to everything else.

So, much so, that people have no desire to write about anything anymore. Nothing other than politics, anyways.

((Plus the fake lives everyone has on Facebook and Instagram))

If I step back and look at this, I realized something...


The Internet is dead.

Words have lost all meaning.....because of too many words.

We've been there, and done that.

Nothing left to impress us.

The internet was a powerful tool that could have been used for more good. The constant barrage of words and opinions and misinformation has destroyed tge usefulness of the internet; and has such taken away the power of our voice. 


I believe this is by design. It has served to confuse us and control us, while we typed away in our "free speech" we have inadvertently killed our words; our voices. If anything, severely weakened our voices.



Has the internet helped, or hurt us? Social media sure hasn't "helped" anything, other than ego.


That's my two cents of another worthless internet opinion. 

Kudos, internet. You beat us at our own game. 

People don't even believe in truth anymore. They only believe in what suits them. This is a thousand fold worse since social media came on the scene.

How long before our words have lost all their meaning...

Or, have they already?

For FlickerOfLight so they have something new to read!

Quote:Police chiefs of America's largest cities have published the first guide about UAPs, which details chilling encounters and how officers can report such incidents.

The 11-page document warned that unidentified flying objects 'pose significant safety risks to law enforcement air support units,' urging teams to be vigilant when in helicopters.

The aircraft was carrying several hundred pounds of Lithium Ion Batteries in the forward cargo hole. Big conspiracy.... If the satellite videos are real and not fake we are dealing with an event above most people's pay grade !

Quote:What really happened to Malaysian Airlines fight MH370? 10 years ago... Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared from radar on 8 March 2014, while flying from Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Malaysia to its intended destination in Beijing. But It never arrived and neither did the 227 passengers and 12 crew members whose family members have been in anguish ever since. What happened to their loved ones? Who's covering up the real story? 10 years have now passed and we finally might have some leads as to what caused this disappearance. Ashton Forbes has in many ways devoted his life to figuring out what happened here and we decided to invite Ashton on to talk about some of this new evidence.
