Burning Man Says Yes To TruthBurn

TruthBurn Given Final Approval For Burning Man 2007

TruthBurn is happening at Burning Man! DaveX, the head of fire safety passed the final plan for the art project. A North SF Bay metal fabricator will be constructing the piece that has been designed by John Parulis, rendered into prints by Scott Page and engineered by Charles Pegelow, all members of ae911truth.org. The sculpture will be destroyed by about 40 lbs of remotely ignited thermite towards the end of the festival. With help from Ken Jenkins, audio and video from the 911 truth movement will be shown in the evenings on a screen suspended from the sculpture. Architect Richard Gage, AIA, is slated to give a talk during the demolition phase of this art project.

TruthBurn still needs your funding support. By reducing the original weight of the sculpture, we were able to save a considerable amount of money, but money is still needed to cover costs, approximately $7,000.. Please send your tax free donations to Agape/Northern California 911 Truth Alliance (in memo section of check write “TruthBurn”) P.O. Box 60511, Palo Alto, CA 94306

Thanks to Carol Brouillet for offering this service.

About 40,000 people attend Burning Man. A considerable number of national and international press attend as well. A video of the TruthBurn event will be made available after the festival.

The sculpture will be made available for demonstrations and exhibits.

A big thank you to Burning Man for having the guts to go ahead with this project!

911 Truth Prayer

Being that we are all intimately connected by our common inheritance of shared life on one planet and that our common shared higher intelligence governs life in both seen and unseen ways, and being that this common ancestry has its roots in cosmic intelligence or mind, and being that we therefore incarnate with this shared higher intelligence, we share its creative power as well. We are imbued with this creativity and its commonality.

As an outlet, voice, individual manifestation and aspiration for this cosmic intelligence, I claim the highest thought of calling forth truth telling on an unprecedented scale in the minds and hearts in high levels of government and other individuals. I call forth the energizing of personal courage where it matters the most to catalyze this movement of truth telling on a grand scale. I know that truth telling is at the foundation of healthy individual as well as a healthy societal life. I know that what has gone astray can be righted by a personal and public, fearless embrace of the truth, with safety for the truth teller.. The deepest space in the heart of all people knows this to be true and wants it revealed without delay. The refined and subtle physics for this is already in place and happening at this moment.

For this I give my deepest and profoundest thanks.

I release this prayer this intention this shared spark of light into the creative mind running through us all and through all of life. Happily, I know the glory of its fulfillment is accomplished already in ways unimaginable and realizable.

And so it is.

Patanjali & Inspiration

“When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds, your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.”

- Patanjali (circa 300BC) Cited in “Inspiration, Your Ultimate Calling”

- by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

9/11Truth & Reconciliation

9/11 Truth & Reconciliation

I think it's safe to assume that there are people out there still living who know significant pieces of the real 911 story or people who know more than the pieces. What's their incentive to talk other than having a spiritual conversion? (which I believe is possible for anyone and something we ought not discount, John Newton, the captain of many slave ships and author of the song "Amazing Grace" proved that)
We have to enact a truth & reconciliation law as South Africa did after apartheid. We have to make it clear that revenge is not what we're after but the truth. We have to give serious consideration to granting immunity or limited immunity to persons willing to come forward to tell what they know. If we can't bring institutionalized forgiveness , (meaning in part, no capital punishment in the harshest of instances) into the process than we are no better than the thugs who pulled off this historic crime.
Kucinich is up to this task. Others can be brought around to giving serious consideration to truth & reconciliation.

There's also the matter of still concealed evidence, (surveillance video, documents, satellite imagery both foreign & domestic, sound & picture recordings, etc) which like the people who know something, persist somewhere. Freedom of information laws can be expanded and more importantly, enforced. Concealed information can find its way to the surface if various forms of state, public and private pressure keep mounting for 911 truth and pathways are cleared to make revelations easier..

There is also the rise of new voices in the movement bringing new legitimacy, like architect, Richard Gage. One of Gage's goals is to unite more and more members of the AIA, American Institute of Architects, behind the push to re-investigate the wtc collapses and reverse that institution's previous support for the official faulty findings.

"The Play"s the thing..."

“… guilty creatures, sitting at a play,
Have by the very cunning of the scene
Been struck so to the soul that presently
They have proclaim'd their malefactions;
For murder, though it have no tongue, will speak
With most miraculous organ”

-Hamlet, Act2, Scene2

Our Burning Man Art Installation called “TruthBurn” is aimed at eliciting the same kind of response for truth that Shakespeare’s Hamlet sought.

Our plan is to raise the funds for and build this twenty foot tall 40 ton structural steel art piece with the 8 foot tall steel letters “Truth” engulfed in flames. Towards the close of the Burning Man Art festival, the piece will be brought down in spectacular fashion by two steel melting thermate cutter charges set midway on the two massive foot square steel support columns.

It is believed by a growing body of engineers and experts that similar charges were used to bring down the World Trade buildings on September 11, 2001. The so called “Truth Movement” in the US is gaining momentum. The art piece “TruthBurn” is intended to help this movement gain more publicity as it creates a powerful artistic statement.

The sculpture can have a second life as it travels the gallery and museum circuit.

Our time to raise $60,000.00 to realize this dream is confined to a few short months. We must raise this money by the end of June.

If you see the implications that this powerful re-enactment of destructive capability has on bolstering the need for further 911 investigations and hearings, then please support this project without delay.

The artist has secured the advice and expertise of design architects, steel fabricators and a range of support individuals. John Parulis is a life long activist with distinguished service with GreenPeace, documenting many of its environmental actions for film and television. He brings more than 20 years training in art and craft to a passion for activism with soul. The “TruthBurn” art installation can be thought of as a service to many, a call to responsibility to the truth for a few.
