Remembering the Heroes of 9/11
Hundreds of people, first responders and ordinary citizens alike, put others before themselves to rescue those who were injured and trapped after the attacks on September 11, 2001. Each of these selfless individuals gave of themselves with no regard for their own safety; some reentered the structurally unsound World Trade Center towers over and over again in their attempts to rescue as many people as possible.
One man, Rick Rescorla, is credited with saving thousands of lives by organizing the evacuation of the South Tower of the World Trade Center. Thanks to his actions, over 2,700 people were able to escape.
Rescorla was 62 years old, and suffering from prostate cancer on September 11, 2001. Nonetheless, he successfully evacuated all but 6 of Morgan Stanley’s 2800 employees. (Four of the six lost included Rescorla himself and three members of his own security staff, including two security guards and Vice President of Corporate Security Wesley Mercer, Rescorla’s deputy.) Rescorla travelled personally, bullhorn in hand, as low as the 10th floor and as high as the 78th floor, encouraging people to stay calm and make their way down the stairs in an orderly fashion. He is reported by many witnesses to have sung “God Bless America,” “Men of Harlech, ” and favorites from Gilbert & Sullivan operettas.
“Today is a day to be proud to be an American,”
he told evacuees.
A substantial portion of the South Tower’s workforce had already gotten out, thanks to Rescorla’s efforts, by the time the second plane, United Airlines Flight 175, struck the South Tower at 9:02:59 AM. Just under an hour later, as the stream of evacuees came to an end, Rescorla called his best friend Daniel Hill on his cell phone, and told him that he was going to make a final sweep. Then the South Tower collapsed.
Rescorla had observed a few months earlier to Hill, “Men like us shouldn’t go out like this.” (Referring to his cancer.) “We’re supposed to die in some desperate battle performing great deeds.” And he did.

Members of Flight 93 gave their lives when they fought to regain control of their plane. Though the target of the intended attack is unknown, there is no doubt that the bravery and sacrifice of those on Flight 93 saved numerous innocent lives.
Most of us are aware that it was 100% NOT terrorist attacks, so I wanted to be very respectful to the ones that we lost that day. This was the best piece of writing or blog I could find and had solutions in dealing with grief. I myself had to deal with losing a great deal of loved ones in a small amount of time. My loss is in no comparison greater nor lesser than others. I'm just trying to convey that I do understand immense grief and not having adequate time to heal from each loss. A history of trauma and finding through trial and errors with the help of others and through self-reliant strength throughout the years.
* This part is about my personal experience with my loss of loved ones not related to 9-11. It is an interesting story though nonetheless!
The Birthday/Holiday Curse:
I had lost my sister on my daughter's birthday, January 21st, 2010, then I lost one of my cousins around Easter, April 18th, 2010, his birthday was the same day as my father's. I lost my father on September 15th, 2010, which happens to be my nephew's birthday. My nephew was named after my father - Nathan. Then we lost a close family friend unexpectedly from a heart attack that summer, there were some other intriguing ties to him, but I can't remember, and my mom had that info. Then Christmas morning 2010, my husband lost his mom. She was like a second mom to me. Fast forward to December 2019, before all of this COVID production, I lost my mother. She had been in and out of the hospital all summer and fall. I look back and wonder now with what we know-what really caused her decline, but she was very morbidly obese and her health was on the decline for quite some time. She was tough though, and smart. She could win a debate with anyone. Very headstrong, my daughter got that from her for sure. I only, a tiny bit. I inherited my dad's soft heart, but we are fighters - like Pit bulls! Not only that, but the Birthday and Holiday curse started in the 80s. It began with my mom's sister, she passed away on my parents anniversary which was Valentine's Day. My mom decided she would break the curse and pass away not on Christmas, not New Year's Day, and not My Hubby's Birthday either, (Dec. 29) she passed on December 30th. She showed me that inner strength does win!
This song played on the radio the day I left my parents/sister's apartment after she had passed away.
Synchronicities!

Bill Cooper authored the book Behold a Pale Horse published in 1991. The Guardian described it as "the manifesto of the militia movement". Political scientist Michael Barkun characterized Pale Horse as "among the most complex superconspiracy theories", and also among the most influential due to its popularity in militia circles and mainstream bookstores.
In 1992, Cooper settled in the town of White Mountains, Eagar, Arizona, about 15 miles from the New Mexico border. He started his own radio show called The Hour of the Time. Mark Potok, spokesman for the Southern Poverty Law Center, said Cooper was well known within the militia movement for his anti-government shortwave radio program. Cooper broadcast conspiracy theories about the Waco siege in early 1993, which he believed had been the opening battle in a new Civil War. Cooper participated in the early radio shows of Alex Jones, an admirer of his broadcasts.
Cooper became convinced that he was being personally targeted by President Bill Clinton and the Internal Revenue Service. In July 1998, he was charged with tax evasion. An arrest warrant was issued, but Cooper eluded repeated attempts to serve it. In 2000, he was named a "major fugitive" by the United States Marshals Service.
On June 28, 2001, Cooper commented on a televised interview of Osama bin Laden at his hideout in Afghanistan, saying that bin Laden would soon be "blamed" for a 'major attack' on a large U.S. city, "but don't you believe it". Immediately after the attacks on September 11, 2001, Cooper said that the U.S. would soon be at war in 'two or maybe three countries'.
On November 5, 2001, Apache County sheriff's deputies attempted to arrest Cooper at his Eagar, Arizona home on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and endangerment. After an exchange of gunfire, Cooper was fatally shot.
In loving Memory of Bill Cooper.
After President George H. W. Bush gave his "New World Order" speech on 11 September, 1990, a number of conspiracy researchers, such as John Coleman and Fritz Springmeier, authored and published books about the Illuminati, the Committee of 300 and the Club of Rome by 1991.

Poem Dragonflies, Full Moon and Jupiter
911
Last Night as the Moon rose
Smokey skies
Forest fires somewhere I suppose
She was dressed in orange and red
As the evening moves to 4 am she is again white
No longer angry she rose above those who bled
In her primal screams of reflecting light
This is what the wise Sage said
You May be wrong, you may be right?
Maybe it does't even matter any more
The Dragonfly comes to vist....darting left right
Bursting illusions knocking on my door
Consider a time of magic of wonder
When everything was possible and amazing
When just a thought brings matter to yonder
When The love of your life is just a heartbeat away of grazing
When the healing of all shames, and pains thunder
When the words flow like rivers playing
When every winter is summer
This game of duelty to a unison ...just saying
Last Night the moon was angry
This morning the Sun is angry
And they have a right to be
You see its a 911 emergency
Its for national security
For your own damn good
Just like Mr Rogers in the Hood
Oh, won't you be my friend ...ok good
Wondering where the Dragons are
They have all transitioned to Dragonflys
Courting the Truth
As they keep up their pathetic 24/7 lies
Got absolute proof
Killing without mercy the pesky flies
Dawn came black with the Full Moon and Jupiter to the Soth West
Just above where my Spirit Flys
Just Below where my ancestor's rest
Full Moon, and Jupiter orbit in synch
Dancing as Jupiter looks over the Moon's shoulder
Once Honey flowed in rivers to drink
All these grains of sands were once boulders
Once Dragon's Flew through the skies
Once there was deep peace harmony order
Once The King was noble
Once the Queen was beautifully wrapped in Grace
Once in a while I wobble
Once in awhile I find my divinity my power my place
Thanks Becka, for your tribute and outlining some of the theories surrounding this tragedy in world history.
As the years have gone by, I've often wondered what GOD thought as he watched us. HE saw the best and worst in us, at the same time...not that he hadn't seen it millions of time since creating us, but considering it from a human perspective...the flood sure made sense....good thing I'm not pushing the buttons up there.
Conspiracy theory: I need to read Sage's piece on this, but you did well here. I have talked to people who refuse to consider any alternative, that involves the U.S. Gov. However, they will openly declare that someone Clinton adjacent and has dirt on them is in the Clinton-cide list or has already been killed by them...Epstein anyone???
And after the last 3 years...who in the world would put ANYTHING past our government.
For me, the more heinous the act, the easier it is to believe scumbags in our political and bureaucratic machine are responsible.
GOD calls us to stand against evil and darkness, for his glory...so many in the past have and had no idea they were doing so. Their loss and our sorrow, is how HE wakes and reminds the rest of us, that just because he bought us salvation, doesn't mean we can sit back and nap. We are expected to stand in the face of the enemy, we are expected to take action when called and we are expected to lay down the life HE gave us, in the service of HIM and HIS plan.
May we all have the courage to stand when called, even for the smallest of battles.
