The intensity of emotions on all sides of the Kennebunkport Warning rings of authenticity to me, leading me to believe that this is not a disinfo plot but a serious encounter among people of good intention during very dire times. This is why we must treat this situation and all involved with a fierce respect in order to gain a chance for deep dialogue and bridge-building. That being said, I think we are now crossing an uneasy, but crucial bridge between the 9-11 truth movement and the anti-war movement, none too early I might say. For years and years, these two movements have been, at best, distant cousins who reluctantly see each other a few times a year and make fun of each other in between, and, at worst, suspicious neighbors thinking each other to be agents of dischord.

Meanwhile, Cindy Sheehan has been an incredibly courageous leader as the most aggressive and visible member of the peace movement. And Webster Tarpley has been a powerful spokesperson, not only for a devastating take on 9-11 truth, but also for strategies towards justice and peace.

Now onto my sense of what is interpersonally going on here: I don’t want to take sides here without full direct information of what actually transpired, I just want to lay out my impression of where people are coming from. Bruce Marshall and Webster Tarpley's anger strike me as a realistic, if not as elevated as we might all aspire to be, response to what has been thrown their way if they are operating in good faith. They seem really to be focused on empowering the warning and their concern for its consequences for thousands if not millions of people's lives, and see the hubub around the signatures as disempowering and distracting from what the message was supposed to do.

Cindy Sheehan, also appears to be operating from a place of deep care, care for her fellow, sister compatriot, who feels that she and her family are threatened. Cindy is instinctually a bridge builder it seems, but will stick by a friend if necessary, even if it means causing tension. But they all appeared to both throw doubts on the method of the warning and support for those involved at the same time.

It is important that we flush this out and move towards a sense of justice and healing. Sometimes in order to really trust one another, we must fight and forgive. These are intense times and we must operate with the fullness of both wisdom and compassion. Little children's lives are hanging in the balance right now. We need massive action, creative outreach, not ad hominem's and suspicion.

What's the deal Truth movement, are we serious about taking this through to justice and peace? Or are we gonna be a digital artifact to be dug up by those that survive the apocalypse?

Who's coming to NYC and DC to meet face to face and strategize about action in the crucial coming days, weeks and months?

Cosmos, it appears might be a potential holder of a possibly heated, emotional and crucial dialogue. It makes sense. Haven't we all fought viciously with those we learn to be close to? The challenges get more intense as we get drawn further together towards completion of this specific calling.

First of all, we should have a strong sense of respect for each other, meaning we can be radically open and honest based on an intention of commitment to relationship. If hurtful things are said, as between brothers and sisters throughout history, we commit not to run away, but to speak truth, do justice and heal.

As any great calling comes to fruition, there is rising intensity of obstacles and challenges that tend to present themselves. Think of the Buddha under the Bodhi tree arching towards spiritual freedom. As illusion after illusion fell to the wayside, the intensity of Maya’s attacks grew until the Buddha broke through.

We are being drawn together. And as we are drawn together to fulfill a task, we will be further challenged by people and forces seeking to trip us up.

And I'd say we should think of these forces more as energies or tendencies than people or other entities, though they will many times come in human form.

Also, our diversity of expression and personality is a great strength if we don't let it become our Achilles Heel. But despite immense external threat and resistance, the Truth movement, the Peace movement and People's movements of all sorts have survived thus far.

In terms of the two most prominent representatives of the supposed camps of this current flare up, Cindy Sheehan is a bridge builder and connector who with great personal integrity weaves together folks of different stripes. And Webster Tarpley is a fierce orator, an intellectual warrior who takes words seriously and refuses to mince them. At times, especially serious ones, people of such distinct roles are bound to come to loggerheads.

And of course our movement is very susceptible to infiltration, but we are also very sensitive to it, which can be a good thing as long as we're not over-sensitive. And in this case, I’ve heard names being thrown around on all sides. Like Barry Zwicker says, we must stay away from the name calling, stick to openness and engaged dialogue.

Both sides are hurt right now, and my feeling, unless I've really missed agentic intrusion other than the threat on a well-meaning woman’s family here, is that all involved really are warriors pushing towards truth, justice and peace while coping with all the human foibles and flaws that are uniquely our own. Courage is not about not feeling fear, or even not giving into fear sometimes, but picking ourselves up and facing into the challenge of the moment in full recognition of our fear. Likewise, respect is not about never losing one's temper and being vicious verbally, but willingness to stay engaged and move towards understanding and healing.

For the sake of all those that inhabit the earth today and desire to in the future, let’s find our way, in honest recognition of the truth, towards justice and peace.
