I come to this board in order to present for consideration - and, ultimately, action - what appear to be two of the most pressing challenges faced by the 9-11 Truth movement at the present moment, and for the forseeable future. Firstly, that the basic necessity of starting with a clearly defined goal and then working toward it has been most conspicuously absent, to-date. Secondly, that the dispersed, headless form of 9-11 Truth - there is no structure, no hierarchy - provides both immeasurable benefits and critical challenges. With no sembelance of command-and-control, there is far less opportunity for corruption and infiltration - although we've probably seen our share, nonetheless. Yet, at the same time, the battle over mass-opinion of what transpired on the morning of September the eleventh, two thousand-and-one is being lost in no small measure because of our apparent inability to focus our collective energies toward a particular set of goals. If one were to apply the analogy of chess, we're entering the endgame with a significant disadvantage in both material and position. The only fair statement to make, on behalf of our game, is that our position used to be a lot worse. The problem is that time is running out.

I will be more than happy to flesh out these themes in more detail, as well as to offer my own solutions to these two challenges. First, though, I would like to get a sense of how other people feel about my basic thesis, and what their solutions might be. Anyway, I have to go to work. That's the rub, isn't it? There are only so many hours in a day, and we all have lives to lead. The enemy, of course, does what it does for a living.

Thank you for your time.
