September 12, 2001 - The Skies Were....

911 - 21 Years
Well before self-loathing Americans started calling our movements in the middle-east "invasion" and "occupation", patriotism was on every street corner.
I remember that night; I remember seeing it live. I can't tell you the football teams playing, but I can say it was one of the deepest, most moving TV moments, ever.
U2 - that Irish rock band, stood on the world stage, honoring the greatest country on earth and her fallen citizens. Names float to the sky, as the rousing "Where the Streets Have No Name" beats on. The song, the second of the half-time set, was written about a place without class stigma, where the distinction between religions and income is no more; a World Without Sin?
Bono ends the tune exposing the Stars and Stripes - Triumph.
Here we are, 15 years later - The Twin Towers, replaced by that defiant Freedom Tower, slip deeper into the fog with each passing 911. The threat remains the same, if not more pronounced.
Do you honestly feel safer now than you did that faithful day of empty skies, September 12, 2001?
Day of cogitation: What have we learned?
On this day of reflection, consider not only the ones who've helped you see who you are, but remember the hearts you've "imprinted"; sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, friends, lovers and ex-lovers, customers, and co-workers.
Be gratified knowing you've changed somebody's life for the better - we all have.
Take time to remember those on the 98th floor, at 8:47 AM, sipping a Starbucks, considering a sales forecast or the regret of not saying "I love you, I always will..." on that morning, years ago.

What do, the Anti-WorkFromAnywhere movement, the Biden administration, and "V is for Vendetta" all have in common?
#WFA, Fighting for the Soul of Society
- Centralized, Authoritarian rule.
- Propaganda-fueled messaging through controlled media.
- Self-centered interpretation of established norms.
- Elimination of a "higher power" and inalienable rights.
- The demonization of those holding differing views.
- Maximizing fear to leverage and presenting their solution as final.

The 2nd Amendment DOES NOT GUARANTEE being heard.
By now, if you have any presence on social media, you probably have heard the name Andrew Tate. To summarize, Tate sticks up for men.
He says being a man has been under attack for decades. He is a showman.
To me, he is part of the social commentary team of men; Jordan Peterson, Steve Harvey, and the like. His opinions and pontifications are not the issues I find interesting.
What I find most intriguing is how Tate has been removed from ALL social media channels.
ALL.
Imagine your organization and the different departments, agendas, opinions, views, and feelings around change. How often do all the decision makers align?
How easy is it to get everyone on the same page? It's like herding cats. But for some reason, Twitter, Instagram, FB, Google, on and on, all these separate companies act as a single brain.
They all banned one person.
"...in order to be able to think you have to risk being offensive..."

#Journalism is dead.
"Both Michels and Kleefisch falsely claimed the 2020 presidential election was rigged, a lie Trump has pushed in an effort to overturn his loss to Joe Biden."
Tell me what's wrong with this sentence from an article in the Press Democrat written by SARA BURNETT AND SCOTT BAUER, AP., regarding the Wisconsin Rep primary -
"Both Michels and Kleefisch falsely claimed the 2020 presidential election was rigged, a lie Trump has pushed in an effort to overturn his loss to Joe Biden."
What two words destroy the journalistic credibility?
I'll answer: "falsely", and "lie".
Here is a better version of this one sentence:
"Both Michels and Kleefisch claimed the 2020 presidential election was rigged, an ARGUMENT Trump has pushed in an effort to overturn his loss to Joe Biden."
Can you feel the neutrality? And I'm not a journalist.
Amplify this by all the channels - social, TV, cable news, print, radio, and other information outlets - and you've got a propaganda machine, not a news service.
There is more.
Inject a narrative into entertainment vehicles - like Star Trek Discovery, A Million Little Things, or Dr. Strange and the Multiverse of Madness and you've got an insidious, almost subliminal, indoctrination program that would make Goebbels proud.
