Truth For Life (Darkrose mythos)

Why is it that all the towers and buildings that fell in New York went down demolition-style? Witnesses say they heard explosions go off before the main impact. Why was the rubble collected and recycled before a thorough investigation?” -Joe, King of Spades.
The 9/11 narrative features across the Darkrose novels as it is the birthplace of the “Truth for Life” movement depicted in the books. The fictional movement is based on the original 9/11 Truth Movement born around 2003 alongside the invasion of Iraq, splitting into many organisations and all living under the same umbrella. We Are Change, 9/11 Truth.org, Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth are some examples.
The first Truthers I met were not ranting about any farfetched ideas or trying to sensationalise any other topic. These people had genuine questions about the peculiar actions and decisions leading up to the devastating tragedy.
I could write about the recounted stand down order, the put options, the changes to insurance clauses, the deliberate exclusion of Building 7 from the official commission report, the paper passports which survived the collapse, Able Danger, Barry Jennings, the wreck in Shanksville etc because I have heard those words thousands of times in years since the incident. But this is not about what I know, It’s about the people, places and things in the Darkrose Novels, and some are based in a reality I was a part of.
“A psychological operation on a generation…” – King of Spades.
In the novels, the movement’s existence is an eye-opener for Cleo and Agent Starr. They have come from a place that stands outside the happenings of the civilian world and observe it with apathy and disdain. They know what a domestic terrorist is but they shrugged off the group as just a bunch of rag-tag civvies who are yelling at the sky…
Cleo is told in clear terms by her superior to allow them to create havoc enough so that she has authority to use lethal force and they have the mandate to pass new laws and surveillance (which has actually been a proven tactic used by certain authorities in the real world we all live in.)
Are these “Truth for Life” members as dangerous as Number One and the MDS inner circles claim? I guess we will find out…
King of Spades is now available.
