Tmbchr Criticism
Check out Ted Heistman for a post-blogging rant which uses Ran Prieur and myself as foils. The criticism seems to stem from my “failure” to take a firm stance about what happened on 9/11. The answer is, I just don’t know. I don’t think it’s unknowable, but I gave up looking.

Man, what is with that guy?

Well then I must just be a fucking genius then, because to me its obvious.
I think its obvious to a lot of people, tho.
My point is there is no longer a need to keep quiet about it out of being scared of these people because they are going down.
But I’ll say this I kind of feel toward you like you seem to feel toward Daniel Pinchbeck. And probably I shouldn’t.
Its like he is the celebrity and you are the little guy giving him a hard time because you can.
But I probably underestimate the level I think at. You examined all this stuff when you were looking into this stuff, the nexus between the occult and pop culture and conspiracies and IMO you missed all the most obviously important things.
I think I gave you too much credit for being onto stuff. You probably typed most of it high.
But anyway, if you really can’t see it you can’t see it.
Maybe I can just connect the dots a lot better.
I am probably coming off as a real Dick but what can I say? I find things obvious that others think of as a mystery.
I probably hav some responsibility to lay it all out for people above and beyond stream of consciousness blogging.

So that’s cool, yeah. Go wild.

You know I met Pinchbeck briefly and I thought he seemed like a nice guy.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure that I had a dream where he and I were at this weird party and we became friends.

Well, speaking as someone who knows Tim, I think I can vouch for the fact that anybody can get worked up, with or without knowing Tim. And that’s a good thing, insofar as Sean annoys the living fuck out of me. But do I hate him? Of course not. Has Tim annoyed me before? Of course he has. Does Ran’s writing annoy me sometimes? Oh yeah. Do I think he’s pulling this Obama support out of his ass? Yes, indeed I do. Does that mean I think he’s wrong? No, it gives me “hope”. Hope for what? I don’t know.
What I do know, is that Tim told me my now ex girlfriend loved me and that I should follow that love. What he didn’t tell me is that love ends even when, to you, love is forever. Which is why I find his whole time traveler obsession funny and interesting. I wanted to be a time traveler too, just before all of my shit hit. Then I got depressed and doubtful and time traveling seemed stupid. What I needed to do was to keep on keeping on. Kinda like “time travelin’” man.
I gave a broken watch which was a memento to me, of the lack of importance of time, to the daughter of a freshly murdered friend of mine. She liked the watch and I thought I needed to pass on my string of a few good luck years by passing on this broken watch to my friend’s daughter. I thought it would help her and close the gap in my life that the existence of having the thought of a murdered friend had created. Except I’d had no gap — he was my friend from the past. I shouldn’t have given her that watch.
Wanna know why?
A year and eight months later, the love of my life bought a watch at Macy’s and within the week she dumped me. Caring about time is a disease and a disaster. And having a working watch that you wear is a symptom. Having a non working watch that you wear is like a rabbit’s foot. Had I kept that watch about my wrist, I would not be writing this now.
In other words, Ted, chill the fuck out. Write what you want and Tim will do the same. I might even start writing again myself. Tim sent most of my blog traffic back in the day, my way as well. And to this day, I disagree with him every chance I get. I guess that’s the fun of it.
We’re all tweakers dude. Pinchbeck just doesn’t admit he is one while we all know each and every one of us are. Also, there is no 9/11 “truth”. It’s a false choice embodied in the name of the “movement”. There will never be any truth, that is why 9/11 happened. There’s no truth to it. Must look deeper or don’t look at all. No truth. It’s all one in the same.

[…] Having been criticized for not taking a more “hard-line” stance on 9/11, the subject has been on my mind again lately. The history of that interaction can be traced starting here and continuing in this thread. […]
