About 9/11: My experience, reactions and red-pill moments
By Pastora Cate Covert
On the morning of 9-11-01, I was getting ready for work. The news was on television. I could hear the excited tones of the newscasters. By the time I got to the living room, I caught the live image of the second plane hitting the second of the Twin Towers. It was shocking. I saw explosions in parts of the buildings that the planes did not touch, and I figured out that there had to be bombs planted all over the building to coincide with the plane’s impact. I was late getting to work, unable to tear my eyes away from the images and witness accounts. Later I would start questioning things that didn’t make sense, but at the time, like most Americans, I was in shock.
That day, one of my sons saw the news on television. He was on holiday in Ireland; he dropped everything he was doing, and rushed home to join the US Navy Reserves.
I have a younger brother who was on reserve status after serving in the regular US Army. He got himself reactivated and sent to Iraq, like many other patriotic men and women did.
In January of 2002, I joined the US Coast Guard Auxiliary (where I served as a volunteer for almost 15 years) to be a force multiplier for the USCG Gold side (regular, active duty guard). We became original “plank-holders” in the Department of Homeland Security (USCG was transferred from the DOT, and made part of DHS, but in times of war can be made part of the Dept. of the Navy).
I traveled to Virginia and Cape May, NJ for USCG “C” and “A” school training to become a career counselor for the USCG Academy and full recruiter for the USCG, respectively. For years I served as a public education instructor, as a Division Staff officer, and as a Flotilla Vice Commander. I trained to become a boat crew member, then studied navigation and trained hard until I earned my qualifications as a Coxswain. We did on-the-water patrols, helping with security and keeping an eye out for the enemy. I received a commendation from the Commandant of the USCG District 13 for service above and beyond the call of duty. In short, I was dedicated to serving my country in any way I could.
But it didn’t take long for me to learn that things were not as they seemed.
I was traveling by air frequently, and noticed the unhappy people who were being forced to submit to long lines, humiliating “random” searches, and questioning – something I didn’t have to submit to because I was traveling with “orders”. I witnessed that our newly formed DHS was clamping down on our own citizens because of a "foreign threat". This worried me; I had seen this before, but it was in other countries, and foreign regimes.
I had heart-to-heart talks with my brother when he would come home on leave from Iraq, and he said it wasn’t all adding up. Our guys were being traumatized in an action that was not in defense of our country, and the morale was very low. I'd say I was red-pilled by all of this, and I was very awake by the end of 2002 to the beginning of 2003.
By the time “Loose Change” came out, I was ready for some answers to a lot of the questions that were tickling the back of my mind. It was difficult to talk about all of this with people, especially people in USCG/Aux circles. I did a lot of private research, but had to keep a lot of it to myself. It took a long time for people to begin to question the circumstances surrounding 9-11. Even today, many will not even entertain what is not part of the official narrative about the attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
I never believed the story about the Pentagon; video of Building 7 clearly showed a controlled demolition. This was one of the things which, after the initial shock, forced me to realize our own government officials – including the POTUS, VPOTUS, Secretary of State and military leaders were lying to us. I had listened to interviews with the firefighters and other first responders who had witnessed things unaccounted for with the “planes”, and who had boots on Ground Zero. I had watched videos of controlled demolition. I didn’t know why, yet – I had missed Donald Rumsfeld’s announcement the day before – but I knew it was an inside job. Our government had lied to us, and I knew it was a Deep State attack on our own nation.
What can you do with such information? Once you are awake, you can’t go back to sleep.
There is no way to wrap up this story in a neat package. I’m just one of many voices. These are my experiences; my research has informed my beliefs and actions since then. But until the entire truth comes out, until the whole world knows, there can be no closure for those who served and tried to help close the gaping wound caused by this false flag operation.
