I am a Native New Yorker who lived through that 9/11 day and as it was happening, knew it was a false flag psy-ops because the air force never scrambled and of course for a lot of other reasons but that was the first thing I thought of.
I am glad you are writing a detailed report about this so-called 'Memorial' travesty, so I don't have to go there and be subjected to it!
As a memorial you'd expect to see more upward designs and illumination reflective of the great heights of the Twin Towers, as a prominent reminder and salute to their former colossal size and the magnitude of the physical loss (of buildings and human lives).
Instead, as you explained, there's a descent. We're sent peering downwards into darkness, not upwards, and with poor illumination, as if turning away from those great heights. Powerful psychology. It almost diminishes the scale and impact of the lost buildings.
Surely, with such an iconic memorial we should be looking ever upwards, skyward, our psychological gaze elevated in awe, memory and contemplation, of a spiritual ascent, not a permanent downward descent into darkness? Even the simplest village war memorial is elevated and respectfully looks upwards.
The psychology and tribute seems tilted in the wrong direction, by design. It looks away from the light, from illumination, into an enclosed space of darkness which oppressively perpetuates the trauma. It also entombs the Big Lie, keeps it buried down there - permanently fossilised.
I especially like your point about modest village war memorials and the contrast with the 9/11 Memorial and museum.
Apparently, one reason why expensive houses often have high ceilings is that looking upwards creates a sense of aspiration and freedom, and getting lots of light into a room is good for the soul.
In contrast, the windowless underground cavern that is the 9/11 Memorial Museum is so dimly lit that half my photographs did not come out and I had to find images online instead.
The contrast between open spaces with windows and uplifting soulful light versus a windowless soulless cavernous basement bunker.
Of course, “They” want us forever trapped in their technocratic basement!
(I know I’m only echoing your own impressions but I think it does help to confirm these shared observations and flesh them out as perceptions. We need to illuminate their dark designs and deceptions).

Yes, another of my subscribers has been living in Manhattan for decades and has deliberately never gone.
And, as Penny & John point out, we have to be careful what exactly we choose to expose ourselves to.
Some places are best left alone, although I hope to have cast some light on the darker aspects of the museum.
God bless you David.

That's a good assessment, Nigel.

You’ve nailed it in a nutshell right there!

i'd never go near that crap.
Compare this to the Oklahoma City National Memorial Museum after the horrific incident there in 1995. It is very tastefully and respectfully done.
Wait for Part 3 (the final part) - the symbolism gets really wild there!
