"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right."
~1984, George Orwell

I am an analog native living in a digital world. While reviewing my saved images and music library, I've put together a list to contribute to the Internet Archive. I found this image, captured on the Staten Island Ferry, on my way to enjoy a Jethro Tull concert at Snug Harbor Cultural Center, Staten Island, NY, USA, on August 28, 2001. Thirteen days before that fateful and infamous day on September 11, I was there to enjoy their latest songs, not knowing it would be the last time I saw the World Trade Center.

A difference between intelligence and recklessness.
It’s not about facts. It’s about fantasy.
People don’t follow frauds because they’re right.
They follow them because they’re unwavering.
Even when they’re dead wrong, they double down, and that confidence feels like strength.

Most people won’t chase the truth if it threatens their comfort.
That’s not just cynicism, it’s a psychological pattern and many follow out of fear. And that fear makes them cling to lies that feel safe, seen, and superior.

Our Uncle Rudy was KIA in Vietnam in 1966 and he never got his US Citizenship. He volunteered for Vietnam as a legal Resident. He was a door gunner for Marine Observation Squadron Six (VMO-6) and days before ending a tour of duty. He insisted on flying dangerous missions to support his parents who are our grandparents. His bags arrived days before the knock on the door.
Our mission now is bestowing the ultimate honor on our Uncle Rudy – his Posthumous U.S. Citizenship. We need executive action from POTUS and/or Secretary of Defense. God Bless America 🇺🇸 Jerry and Rudy Gonzalez
