ARE WE A COMMUNITY?
Commentary #038
June 2, 2009
I've noted that 
    some viewers in the website guest book are beginning to refer to themselves 
    and other fellow viewers of this evidence record in the "we" sense 
    as though "we" are a community sharing common interests and goals. 
    Equally important, in the process they are also voluntarily exercising restraint 
    in dealing with one another as though they sense the future necessity of reasonable 
    collaboration, the tolerance of differences, and a long term exposure to each 
    other. It's not surprising for intelligent concerned independent thinkers.
    
    All I can say is well done because we are in fact a community. What it takes 
    is for viewers to begin to realize this no matter the cultural differences 
    from one part of the world to another or one individual to another and to 
    realize that our shared common interest and this diversity is our strength 
    relative to what is coming. Movement in this direction is exactly what is 
    needed and what I have been waiting for. The change that is coming is greater 
    than anything here-to-fore known by us to have been experienced by Earth humanity 
    and difference will be a large factor in the new challenges that will be faced.
    
    Since the coming change will involve difference and the dynamic of that, only 
    an intellectual operational pool of differences can meet this challenge and 
    help lead the way. In other words, it is very likely that from this community 
    drawn to this anomalous evidence record will come future leaders that first 
    must temper their qualities in dealing with themselves and each other in this 
    setting in order to set the standard of future leadership behavior. Always 
    remember that in the end it is deeds that count, not rhetoric, including mine.
    
    Obviously, a body of evidence like this one has 
    the strongest draw for certain kinds of individuals. Many share in varying 
    degrees being normally bright, intelligent, very independent, and tend to 
    pursue their own course rather than just follow someone else's. In the relative 
    sense they are more accustomed to operating alone contrary to peer pressure 
    and out toward the cutting edge of thought and theory where the mainstream 
    crowd has thinned out considerably. They do not trust the consensus herd mentality 
    and tend to be impatient with it. Their primary motivation is to seek knowledge 
    and truth while being willing to deal with it and live with it but at the 
    same time find it difficult to understand why others cannot do the same.
    
    Of course this choice of ours, this independence mentality, 
    sets us apart from the mainstream even as we reside in the mainstream. This 
    also means operating alone and accordingly experiencing loneliness. Likewise, 
    although many of us will not admit it to others or often not even to ourselves, 
    still being social creatures we chaff at this loneliness and are frustrated 
    by it. We want others to come over to our maturity and toss off their mental 
    blinders and chains. On the other hand, failing that and even for the sake 
    of alleviated loneliness, we just cannot quite go back and bury ourselves 
    in the mainstream blindness in order to be accepted.
    
    Why? Because we have glimpsed the distant shore and sense what is there with 
    all of its implications that there is more. Let's face it, regardless of differences 
    in perception as to how we see ourselves and each other, in this community 
    we are all to some degree seekers of knowledge and truth. It is what we share 
    in common and it is the commonality that draws us to this evidence.
    
    The question is can this individual thirst for truth and knowledge we share 
    transcend and coalesce into a real world wide community alleviating some of 
    this loneliness and also getting something positive done? I say of course 
    it can! After all, I suspect as a group and in varying degrees we are among 
    the most not consensus bound independent thinking 
    types on this planet. We can do what ever we decide to do regardless of what 
    others can or cannot bring themselves to believe or say what we can or cannot 
    do. The only thing holding us back is how much we limit ourselves. All that 
    we need is a mission, a purpose, a goal, that we can agree upon and get behind 
    further binding us into community.
    
    Although I have no unquestionable proof of it to offer you, the tampering 
    evidence tells me that logically there exits a massive amount of unobfuscated 
    science data hidden away in secrecy some where that is in fact the real science 
    data. It is almost certainly in normal color and at many times greater camera 
    resolution as compared to the distant sanitized pabulum that we have been 
    fed. Except for the occasional secrecy mistake, it is far too valuable to 
    the secrecy to have been destroyed by them even in the smallest part. I am 
    satisfied that it contains a massive amount of information that has been kept 
    from us and this information resource is the answer to Earth humanity's future 
    decision making and emergence.
    
    I suspect that the secrecy types fully believe or at least justify to themselves 
    that the public cannot handle the real truth contained in this hidden away 
    science data and especially with respect to its more extensive implications. 
    That term the "public" unfortunately includes you and I from their 
    point of view as they make no distinction among us out here. They conclude 
    that there is no need to consider independent thinkers because we are for 
    the most part isolated as individuals. A certain limited amount of that may 
    even be true of the mainstream public that we are a part of. So what about 
    we independent thinkers and others like us yet to come into awareness? Can 
    we handle the truth?
    
    I'm satisfied that we can and it's a good thing too because the time of delay 
    and avoidance of truth is just about up whether any of us are ready for change 
    or not. We've essentially come down to it time wise. It is now just about 
    time to fish or cut bait as the saying goes even though the science and academia 
    communities and their inertia would appear to just as soon the delay last 
    forever so that they will not have to be disturbed by paradigm challenges.
    
    So where do you fit into this picture? Are you prepared to take action or 
    just be content to watch and wait and do little or nothing? You are already 
    a community via shared interests and concerns, but how about taking the next 
    step and starting to become a community that can act as well as observe? Obviously 
    the willingness to act separates the wheat from the chaff as another old saying 
    goes.
    
    This is where the Planetary Truth Project 
    grass roots movement comes into the picture with a face and name put to it. 
    Its goal is to achieve via increased public demand and pressure (1) wider 
    exposure to this evidence in the media and public mainstream eventually pressuring 
    leaders for increased investigation and debate and (2) the full public release 
    of the true hidden unobfuscated planetary exploration science data. After 
    that will come (3) the forming a future group of independent thinkers and 
    those who can handle it to participate in objective analysis of the information 
    gained as well as participate in formulating decision making based that analysis. 
    This in general is the PTP vision and purpose articulated.
    
    What one must understand is that we out here in the mainstream public are 
    not trusted by our world's hidden leaders that really call most of the shots 
    behind the scenes. From their need to control point of view, too many of us 
    focus on our emotions and shallow and/or silly behavior relative to the larger 
    realities around us. Examples would be our mainstream interest in what some 
    celebrity is doing while at the same time leaving the difficult stuff like 
    global warming and space exploration to someone else to deal with.
    
    A result of our mainstream dropping the ball in this regard is that, due to 
    the secrecy crowd's prolonged exposure to what we in the mainstream don't 
    want to deal with, they have become addicted like any addict to the lack of 
    our presence and input which has been to their personal benefit. So they come 
    to wealth and power that is parasitic behavior personified but regard it as 
    a positive. The worst part of it is that it is our own fault as we try to 
    turn responsibility we don't want to deal with over to others.
    
    Remember, knowledge is unquestionably power! The greater the knowledge and 
    the more exclusive it is, especially with respect to technological advancements, 
    the greater the power. Accordingly, the power addicted hang onto it with a 
    death grip and aren't about to part with it or share it if they can help it. 
    This obviously includes many planetary exploration truths because that is 
    where the cutting edge technological advancements are most concentrated. Let's 
    face it, they are not going to share this resource unless they feel they have 
    no choice but to do so in order to survive.
    
    The only thing that would cause them to think otherwise is the public getting 
    upset and demanding the truth in numbers large enough for them to regard as 
    significant and potentially intrusive to their agenda. Why? Because the public 
    via their numbers ultimately holds the purse strings and is the bulk funding 
    source. Think of the goose that lays the golden eggs! No bulk funding and 
    serious disruption happens. So as long as the public can be successfully manipulated 
    and kept ignorant and redirected on what some celebrity is doing via the media 
    and only teased with tiny incremental but titillating planetary research information 
    to keep the money gate open, the status quo of their power is preserved and 
    they're doing just fine without any interference from you or I.
    
    So, as it turns out, it is actually the mainstream public 
    too often habituated to shallow behavior that is the real key to turning this 
    situation around as compared to scientists, academia, or political leaders. 
    Now that is a prospect isn't it? The question is how to reach the mainstream 
    public with something this important, something they have become habituated 
    into not really wanting to deal with? Do you think it is Impossible?
    
    This is where you and I as a community and this evidence comes into the picture. 
    Remember that every journey starts with a single first step. We are the ones 
    to provide that leadership initial step. Why? Because there is no one else 
    to do it for us. If it is important to us and we want to influence our own 
    planet's and our children's destiny, then we must step up and grab onto it.
    
    The to-date website evidence record is eye opening for many. However, it is 
    a collected hodge podge of both weaker and stronger evidence gathered over 
    the last nine years. In more recent years due to my increasing selectivity, 
    the accumulative evidence that has made its way to being posted is for the 
    most part stronger and therefore more persuasive, especially for open minded 
    people like you able and willing to question the accepted paradigm.
    
    However, the great bulk of the mainstream public, historically the ultimate 
    target of secrecy, manipulation, misdirection, and disinformation over generations, 
    have been conditioned to think and believe in a certain way so that they cannot 
    accept this as any kind of reality. At least without the entire consensus 
    herd moving in that direction. In other words, they will require some massive 
    convincing to shake off their conditioning and dysfunction. It isn't impossible, 
    it is just a problem to be solved. So to increase the level of convincing 
    factor, I am coming out in about 8-10 weeks from this date with a book that 
    I've discussed before and which is very long over due.
    
    The delay has been for a number of reasons with some of them having to do 
    with me and my personal situation. However, it has also been due to who is 
    in political power at the time of anticipated release and my perception of 
    the risk and resistance factors involved with them. Likewise and no less important, 
    I have been waiting and watching to gage how many independent types are consistently 
    attracted to this type of evidence and how willing enough of you may be to 
    become involved as participants in your own future and not just as spectators. 
    In my opinion, the time is now here and so I will set this in motion.
    
    Now understand that the book is not going to be a literary tour de force, 
    nor is not designed to be. Also, the evidence in it is new but it is extraordinary 
    only because we in the mainstream have been condition to believe that it cannot 
    exist. So adjust your expectations accordingly. It is a book of simple visual 
    evidence and insight and will succeed or not on that level.
    
    It will contain very strong new Mars surface water in 
    a liquid state and a variety of biological life evidence that I've 
    been holding back for years for this purpose and in sufficient numbers not 
    to be easily ignored or dismissed. As a traditional book methodology and on 
    a wider scale, it will be aimed right at the reluctant mainstream in a way 
    that the online website can never accomplish by itself with one report and 
    evidence at a time being posted.
    
    The book will be a 6x9 paperback of about 300 pages with many evidence images. 
    The images will necessarily be relatively small and in black and white and 
    of generally poor quality due to the usual porous paper printing limitations 
    and of course the satellite imaging limitations. That's not ideal but the 
    visual quality should none-the-less still be more than good enough to tell 
    the tale even with these limitations.
    
    As I said, the subject matter is primarily surface water in 
    a liquid state and biological life growth evidence. 
    This evidence will be so fundamental and basic in nature that it will inevitably 
    draw the science and academic communities into debate despite their so far 
    exhibited determination to avoid it. This type of basic evidence will chop 
    right at the fundamental base of what the mainstream thought they knew beyond 
    a shadow of a doubt about Mars. It will ultimately even bring into question 
    the core and so far unquestioned historical Mars instrument data that so many 
    science conclusions and models are based on.
    
    Mainstream official excuses, denials, and dismissals 
    will fly in abundance as well as no doubt attacks on this messenger and any 
    community that forms around this evidence. However, when the controversy dust 
    eventually begins to settle, the core verifiable visual evidence will remain 
    obdurate and overall public common sense will prevail as simple reality always 
    eventually does when in conflict with human behavioral psychology. The evidence 
    is after all what it is, no more and no less. When this process starts, the 
    mainstream that do not wish to face this reality will of course sense what 
    is coming and really dig in. However, it will eventually come down to being 
    to no avail because once the inconvenient cat is out of the bag, there is 
    no putting him back in.
    
    The book retail price will be $24.95 in USA dollars for a single copy including 
    delivery here in the USA with discounts for multiple copies and plus delivery 
    outside of the USA. Not cheap but not too bad either for a non-fiction research 
    work. That's about the average price of an evening meal for 1-2 at a restaurant 
    for many here in the USA. It obviously will also help me recover some of the 
    past nine years of expenses. If it eventually does very well in the market 
    place, it will also help finance my own future efforts to get this ball really 
    rolling. 
    
    This book's evidence is select, very strong, almost entirely new, sometimes 
    strange, and with some of my thoughts along with it of course. This time the 
    presentation of the evidence will be in bulk and also ultimately directed 
    at the mainstream via mainstream distribution avenues. Since it will deal 
    with the verifiable and fundamental surface water and bio-life rather than 
    the more controversial civilization evidence, it will also be geared to the 
    science and academic communities that should perceive the material as safer 
    for them to at least take an initial look at.
    
    So this evidence, depending on the psychology 
    of individuals exposed to it in the many walks of life, will eventually be 
    paradigm changing. The key to this new evidence getting in front of the mainstream 
    public for their consideration will in large part be how much the mainstream 
    media picks up on it. That is the crux of the problem.
    
    Now the mainstream media is for the most part controlled and an integral part 
    of the historical conditioning process, so they will at first not want to 
    voluntarily pay much attention to information like this or put it before their 
    audiences. This basic resistance is the same problem that traditional large 
    publishers would have faced on material like this. It would raise their promotional 
    expenses to over come this resistance putting them in the position of trying 
    to low ball a first author like me and why I in the end chose not to go that 
    traditional route with the book initial release.
    
    So the key to getting this evidence sufficiently in front of the mainstream 
    public is getting the mainstream media to make an about face and put this 
    in front of their audiences. This is where you in this community come into 
    the picture both as a community and as a grass roots movement identified on 
    its face as the Planetary Truth Project. The idea is that you loyal community 
    members who have been patiently waiting on this for so long should take the 
    first look at the book evidence and pass judgment on it. 
    
    At first I'll have to distribute the book myself in a first limited printing. 
    That will be time consuming and difficult for me personally but I see it as 
    necessary because so many of you have already asked for autographed copies 
    and this is the only way that I can effectively handle that. Later I'll turn 
    it over to a mass publisher for wider mainstream distribution but then theoretically 
    backed by proven sales performance demonstrating interest in the subject matter.
    
    When you've looked at the book evidence and you've done any verifying of it 
    you need to do, then it will be time to fish or cut bait as the old fisherman's 
    saying goes. IF and only IF the 
    evidence is as strong as I say it is and it is something you can believe in 
    and be enthusiastic about, then you must decide whether to remain a viewer 
    and spectator or to become directly involved as a participant to help yours 
    and your children's future through the coming change and Earth humanity's 
    destiny.
    
    At the time of initial release of the book, posted on this website will be 
    a guide on how to start pressing your local and the major media via repeated 
    email contact pressuring them to get this book and website evidence in front 
    of their audiences. At first individual contact will be of limited effectiveness 
    but you can bet that contact in growing numbers that cannot be ignored will 
    be paid attention to by the media and remember that we in this community are 
    now millions strong. As the evidence begins to get in front of the mainstream 
    public, more and more those newly exposed will be coming onboard to reinforce 
    the numbers and the exposure efforts and this will build more momentum.
    
    Obviously this is a experiment that requires volunteer community participation. 
    It will in fact be a test of the new evidence, of your resolve as viewers, 
    and of your jelling into a community and team. Right now there are 5–6 
    million traffic hits consistently coming through the website evidence record 
    every month. Now many hits are repeats reducing those numbers a bit. Even 
    so, it's still millions of people and from all around the world. It is the 
    core from which truth can spread out to many more millions depending on your 
    involvement. Note that the current traffic hit volume has generated via individual 
    interest without any real media attention. That should jump up dramatically 
    with the growing media exposure produced by any PTP initial efforts.
    
    Yes, for the cynical, this strategy is also self serving for me personally 
    because it will help my finances after nine years of drain. On the other hand, 
    the proposed participation will cost you nothing but a little of your time 
    and you will also be helping yourselves and your children's future in this 
    fight for breaking chains and acquiring paradigm changing knowledge. The key 
    will be your initial reaction to the book evidence and whether you clearly 
    see it as the ammunition, the leverage, needed and worthy enough to galvanize 
    populations into demanding an end to secrecy and a rise out of imposed ignorance.
    
    At the same time, if this methodology works, the grass roots movement will 
    begin to jell as a formal community as it develops more tactics to be more 
    effective in getting this evidence in front of more people and pushed into 
    the forefront of public awareness and deliberation. Since this community will 
    be made up primarily of independent thinkers who can think about matters other 
    than what some celebrity is doing at any given moment, as a community we will 
    progressively become increasingly an essential world resource that cannot 
    be ignored.
    
    Frankly, it is a also a test from my point of view to. I need to see if enough 
    viewers of this evidence record can transform into a community core focused 
    on action to help themselves and their fellows rather than just observers 
    who remain isolated waiting for someone else to do something for them. If 
    the community can act, then I will continue to pump the ammunition its way 
    to use in a fight to break the cycle of humanity's self and externally imposed 
    ignorance. If it can't, then I need to know this as well and sadly my future 
    actions will be governed by that demonstrated reality. We all have to make 
    our choices. For me, I need to know whether I am wasting my time here or not 
    on too many who are in the end unwilling to help themselves?
    
    The goal of bringing more and more people onboard this PTP movement is to 
    direct them first at the media and then at the political leadership demanding 
    their engaging this issue. The media will start bringing the science and academic 
    communities into this for debate and political leaders gradual involvement 
    will further that process. The key is building up the people numbers to those 
    pressure ends.
    
    Once the true science data is eventually revealed out from under secrecy, 
    what is there in it without a doubt will change everything. What must be understood 
    is that this challenge and change is coming anyway. It is driven, not so much 
    by me and others like me, but by our rapid technological advancement that 
    is not avoidable. The only question is the manner in which the change will 
    come about. If the change flows as a result of some of Earth's populations 
    waking up and taking a hand in their own destiny before hand, that will be 
    very good for transition. The community resource formed here of more open 
    minded independent thinkers as a core will be in place to draw from and those 
    setting the example may be in place to help deal with the transition.
    
    On the other hand, if even this community of independent thinkers cannot band 
    together for a common good purpose of dealing with coming truth and reality, 
    then that sends a clear message not only to our secrecy types but to me and 
    to anyone else who is watching. If even we independent thinkers abdicate an 
    active role in our own destiny, then Earth leaves others no choice but to 
    make decisions for us as though we are children and without any real representation. 
    In such a scenario I think we can count on others whether here on Earth or 
    elsewhere looking out after their own agendas and not ours. That obviously 
    is not a good thing.
    
    Another thing that must be understood is that our isolation on this world 
    is relentlessly coming to an end. In the process, we are not entitled to anything 
    by virtue of our mere existence except maybe more mere existence. As the current 
    dominate species on this world, we have not set a very good stewardship example 
    as we blindly follow the interest of self. So, if we want respect and consideration 
    by others, whether from our own secrecy types or others, we have to become 
    involved as a starting core and work to earn it. In other words, if we do 
    not seize the moment, then the moment will seize us.
    
    Such a grass roots movement needs the kind of ammunition required to really 
    shake up the mainstream and to ultimately shake out those that can change 
    from those that cannot with many of the former collecting to and swelling 
    our community ranks. The current website evidence record might do it but there 
    is no need to depend on it. The real key to success is ammunition in the form 
    of hard obvious verifiable evidence that a great many in the mainstream, including 
    science and academia, will be able to recognize for themselves and be less 
    able to deny. In my opinion, the stronger visual evidence in my upcoming book 
    can best serve that purpose with the proper treatment in conjunction with 
    the already existing website material.
    
    We all have our decisions to make. My suggestion to all who may consider such 
    a community grass roots path is to hold back and wait for a look at the book 
    evidence and see if it passes muster with you. Remember that no one is asking 
    for a leap of faith on this. The evidence will either impress you as worthy 
    ammunition and leverage or it will not. Your reaction will suggest to you 
    what you should do or not do as you perceive that the situation warrants. 
    This is after all all about freedom of choice.
    
    Now I recognize that many of you who may wish to become involved will want 
    to communicate with each other and correlate your efforts. I also recognize 
    that the website guest book with its limitations is no fit place for this 
    and discussing this in other people's forums will of course not be ideal either. 
    So I will try to have at least a general admission forum up and running here 
    at this website by the time of the book evidence release. It may be that I 
    will also create a restricted admission forum strictly for strategy sessions 
    for the PTP progress by serious participants. We'll see.
    
    For those who do wish to become a part of the PTP effort, it can be done from 
    your home computer via email at no real monetary cost to you in bringing this 
    evidence to the media's attention and demanding that they bring it to their 
    audience’s attention. I have proven to myself in years past that this 
    kind of grass roots effort will work even on a one person at a time basis. 
    It should be even more effective today where large media has opened up its 
    electronic doors and where large numbers are involved. Don't worry, there 
    will be information posted at the website when the time comes to help facilitate 
    this. 
    
    Additionally, as a community we should move into the electronic social networks 
    like Twitter, Facebook, etc. introducing the evidence presence there. After 
    all, if something like these social networks are good enough for the major 
    media networks to utilize big time in getting their presence and information 
    across, then it is good enough for us as well. More appropriately, it targets 
    the mainstream primarily social types that would probably not otherwise be 
    exposed to this information and its implications.
    
    Also, when the book evidence comes out, I expect to start an online petition 
    demanding that the real unobfuscated science data held in secret somewhere 
    be fully revealed and congressional and world wide investigations started 
    to that end. This is our shorter run goal and the new stronger book evidence 
    is the added ammunition to lever this into happening. Depending on the number 
    of responses on the petition, that can also be used as leverage in a number 
    of different ways to draw attention and generate debate. This will all be 
    a test of this community's resolve or lack thereof.
    
    The core posters in the Guest Book should be aware that 
    you are not alone. The website traffic hit rate has been consistently above 
    5+ million each month in 2009 including up above 5.8+ 
    million in one month. 
    That’s a lot of loyal consistent repeat traffic coming from all walks 
    of life and from all across the world. Further, it comes primarily via word 
    of mouth and without any significant media attention. With media attention, 
    the numbers will climb dramatically eventually forcing many in the in denial 
    mainstream to engage this matter.
    
    Now understand that, if the book evidence isn't generally 
    perceived as sufficiently compelling by this community core, then that is 
    some clear definitive handwriting on the wall from my point of view. If even 
    this community of independent thinkers perceives it that way, then there isn't 
    the slightest chance the more mainstream can be brought to see it any differently. 
    In such a scenario, the problem is clearly with Earth human psychology gone 
    too far down the road of manipulation.
    
    If mainstream denial is just too deeply embedded, 
    then it may be that only this growing community will progress enough and be 
    prepared enough to deal with the inevitable universal paradigm shift as this

    involved. We'll see as this unfolds.
