9/11 Truth and Reconciliation Council (9/11 TRC)
NOTE: Please also see site's "Our Pillars" page.
Mission Statement
Initiated on Thursday, April 5, 2012, 911TRC.org is our affirmative response to the on-going structural need of the 9/11 truth movement for an umbrella-type organization to coordinate and facilitate effectively, the autonomous and diverse activities of the many actors within our "we the people" movement to reveal the full truth of 9/11. Hence, except for emphasizing nonviolence, this initiative has no vision-setting agenda of its own.
In other words, the strictly nonviolent mission of 911TRC.org (9/11 Truth and Reconciliation Council, or 9/11 TRC) is to help build the required integrated infrastructure, as well as the needed means and supports to make possible the effective facilitation and coordination, under one harmonized conceptual and organizational roof (orientated around a number of coordinated and harmonized "Pillars" -- currently 12) of all the autonomous and diverse nonviolent activities in which the organizations and persons who are parts of the 9/11 truth movement engage, in order to uncover the full truth of what happened before, on, and after September 11, 2001, primarily in the United States, but also globally.
Currently, these are 9/11 TRC's 12 Pillars:
Pillar 1- Physical Sciences and Technology
Pillar 2- Social, Cultural, and Health Sciences
Pillar 3- Education/Training
Pillar 4- Communications and Media
Pillar 5- Outreach/Affinity Groups
Pillar 6- Spirituality/Religion
Pillar 7- Legal Matters
Pillar 8- Political and Economic Matters (non-partisan)
Pillar 9- Conflict Resolution
Pillar 10- Self-Evaluation
Pillar 11- International Matters
Pillar 12- Planning, Strategy, Philosophical, Ethical/Moral, and Theoretical Matters.
All organizations and persons who choose to join 911TRC.org--or to the extent they wish to participate in the activities we organize--need to accept faithfully this Mission Statement (and its Autonomy Disclaimer -- see below*), which aims to foster the mutually beneficial integration of individual and organizational autonomy on the one hand, and sustainable collective cohesion on the other, thus contributing pragmatically to the 9/11 truth movement's overall effectiveness. In other words, our nonviolent initiative aims to effectively integrate unity and diversity within the 9/11 truth movement.
Composition of our Council
Thus, although such members of our Council are not required to be formal representative(s) of their respective 9/11 truth organizations or projects, they are expected to have thorough knowledge of and commitment to the interests and view points of such formations.
Furthermore, all relationships within and outside 9/11 TRC are by definition voluntary and based on free agency, except where an explicit contractual agreement specifies mutual expectations and responsibilities--please see our Autonomy Disclaimer, below, for more context.
Thus to become members of our Council, interested persons need to be affiliated, as free agents, with at least one 9/11 truth organization or project, in the manner described in this mission statement.
However, un-affiliated individuals are also welcome to join our initiative, but only as non-voting supporters of 9/11 TRC, as our Council's cherished honorary members, or as valued members of this initiative's Board of Advisors.
Decision-making Process
In terms of its decision-making process, our Council, which is the highest administrative body of 9/11 TRC, will do its sincere best to make decisions consensually in all situations. However as a back-up to consensus, the Council will exercise its decision-making authority by using a super-majority vote of 3/4th of its present members, but as an absolute last resort. No formal session of the Council will have less than a 3/4th level of quorum.
Support Mechanism
In order to help support the overall mission of our movement, 911TRC.org will create two related coordinated non-profit initiatives:
a) 9/11 Truth and Reconciliation Foundation or 9/11 TR Foundation, and
b) 9/11 Truth and Reconciliation Fund or 9/11 TR Fund.
AUTONOMY DISCLAIMER
As stated in our Mission Statement, herein, any and all processes and relationships that pertain to the 9/11 TRC (internal and external to it) are by definition voluntary and self-responsible in nature, based on free agency.
This foundational operational principle is based on the fact that individual human experience, thus perspective and interpretation, is inherenty unique, yet inter-dependent, even cross-culturally. Hence, 9/11 TRC believes that any sustained nonviolent ethical/moral (thus effective) social movement needs to integrate individual autonomy with collective cohesion (i.e., harmonizing diversity within unity) in a mutually beneficial manner, ultimately given the inherent inter-dependence of our nature, whether we are conscious of it or not.
Therefore, except where an explicit contractual agreement specifies mutual expectations and responsibilities, any person (or organization/project) that establishes any internal or external affiliation with any component of 9/11 TRC, for example with our Council, does so voluntarily, and as a free agent, but ethically and morally mindful of our mutual inter-dependence and vulnerability.
In other words, and again for example, while members of our Council are not required to be formal representative(s) of their respective 9/11 truth organizations or projects, they are expected to be autonomous and diverse persons who reflect informally, but ethically and morally, the missions and perspectives of such formation(s). So, in faithfully accepting this Mission Statement our Council members act self-responsibly and mindfully, and as free agents.
