Goals: I wish to join WikiSpooks for several reasons. I'd like to: 1) Network and contribute if I can, which may be extremely limited as far as content goes, but I may be good for discussion, minor corrective edits, presentation, etc. 2) Offer my free services as an illustrator/animator to which I may accept tasks that I will work on without deadlines. (Donations are always VERY welcome but far from prime motivation.) I also have some ideas (see below) for educational graphics. 3) If it doesn't already exist, develop a cross-over community between WikiSpooks and Wikipedia users. Like much of the world, I use Wikipedia ALL the time. I've been an armchair slactivist 9/11 Truther since around 2004 or 2005 and skeptic of the deep state, but only recently became aware of how much deeper the rabbit hole goes with only cursory glimpses of insights into skepticism about Sandy Hook, Boston, and the Holocaust. It's all a fraud! Then, by chance, I went to Wikipedia either to look something up or add a tidbit and was SHOCKED at how utterly muted and dismal the counter-narratives are. They don't even present contexts or authentic sentiments of skeptics - which are easily expressed and understood all over YouTube and elsewhere. Like all media it will clearly be infiltrated and controlled in the name of "neutrality" which is far from neutral when it omits so much. I actively jumped in and discovered a few things - they have great defense, I need to learn how to find and cite sources well, and there is a whole culture and wikilease to comprehend. I believe Wikipedia, being the world's main reference, with a modicum of openness in their hierarchy needs proper support for the revolution of the mind to succeed against the war on reality.

So without further hyperbolic ranting, I beg you to let me join and help me dual-contribute here and on Wikipedia. The more "crazy" WP gets, the more "sane" WS will seem.

(Dis-)Beliefs: I am an existentialist atheist Truther social libertarian (Marxism + anarchism).

Animation, Design, Art Direction, Directing: I used to do hi-end computer animation and other creative work from 1991-2009 and I was good, occasionally great, but never as consistently awesome as I wanted - as in life.

Mental "Illness": Most of my family tree are teachers, doctors, and artists often crossing both. Like many relatives I have mood and attention disorders (though my rationality and intelligence remains intact) which has made me unfit to be reliably employable in a world of deadlines demanding profit. I was further disabled by shrinks and big pharma experimenting with unscientific methods and cross-prescriptions for almost 5 years. I quit their shit and have been slowly trying to crawl out of that hole for the last few years. I still have ups and long downs, like a bad swimmer. I've found that basically I only needed vitamin D with the occasional ginseng. My moods are still too strong. I often over react, step back, critically reexamine, then either admit my wrongs or defend my stance with a better head. Not ideal but it's they way I am.

Revolution?: I'd call for revolution, especially a revolution of the mind, but I can't as a nobody, and besides, I think and hope it's already snowballing in slow motion. (It will get worse before it gets better - IF it can get better.) Peaceful activism is great but Derrick Jensen might be right that it's not enough against tyrants, especially when they have the monopoly on violence and not afraid to use it. I am not a "terrorist" but have sympathy for those that fight back if their lives have been destroyed by empire, but no sympathy for those who fight for religion. Also, I do not recognize honor or glory in military actions or persons, especially those who just follow orders. While I neither condone nor condemn violence against authority I am a pacifist (on the morally higher and evolved grounds of compassion) and will never participate in any plots towards violence, especially online, duh. (So entrapment agents can F-off.) Maybe I don't need to say that, but you never know. I may have said shit a decade ago like, "I'd suicide bomb G.W.B. only IF it would help, but I'd never be able to get close." Impossibly inaccessible but now I see it would never change a thing. Even if a leader is taken out hundreds are eager to perpetuate the policies. The obvious only way to make ANY difference in the hallucinatory state of democratic illusion is to speak truth, transparency, proper context, and awareness to the people.

Educational Graphics: Sometimes a great image is worth more than all the words in the world. Before I put my illustration and animation skills to work I'd like to share my ideas for feedback, improvement, and refining. These are just the ideas that come to mind today. Feel free to illustrate them before I get to them. 1) JFK's Zapruder film has been stabilized. If I'm not mistaken, there's another film from across the plaza that shows part(s) of the event that could be stabilized. Stabilization simply makes it easier to watch, but is not necessary for the following rotoscoping experiment (that can be copyleft open-source developed and publicly published and accessible). Over a 3D CG model of the plaza with precise measurements, the two films can each have vehicles and civilians rotoscoped as accurately as possible from their perspective with elements in different colors. If either film was tampered with it should be self evident when the 3D elements do not match. Mis-matches can be colored to highlight. A final video would show 5 cycling panels, the 2 originals looping, the 2 rotoscoped angles with 50% transparency looping, and one 3D view with various angles and fly-throughs of the scene. 2) I'm astounded that there are no creative illustrations of how the WTC towers "should" or might have collapsed that demonstrate various physical limitations. (I won't even mention WTC7.) For example: If the pancake theory were to be believed, then the tube within a tube structure would remain and/or be exposed. If it were like a jenga tower there would be a pile at the bottom rather than a hole, and the toughest central columns would would jut up through the middle of the pile with significant recognizable portions of the top floors and rooftop on top of the pile, last to fall. If it were a failure it would be asymmetrical, give somewhere first, fall to that side, and fall outside it's footprint if not onto another building. 3) Lastly, for now, (credit to YouTube videoID# vKJGsCPrdfw 'Professor David Ray Griffin, 9-11 Miracles, 2011' (2014-01-15) {Academic Freedom Conference 9-11, JFK and the Holocaust} @ 28 minutes), I'd like to illustrate through animation, a highway traffic jam with equally spaced out cars with a truck at the back labelled gravity. Within the gravity truck an umbrella is jammed on the accelerator. The truck speeds up but then collides with the car in front, slowing it down, then they both accelerate, then hit the next car and slow down, etc. Now, do another "cartoony" version without slowing down for collisions. Then tip the two scenes on their sides beside the "collapsing" buildings to illustrate how silly it is.

Sorry this got so long.
