Day 5       Kinsale, Garden of Remembrance

The Garden of Remembrance was established by a Kinsale lady, a nurse of thirty years’ experience in New York City named Kathleen Cait Murphy who admired the work of firemen and was shocked at the death of 343 of them on 9/11 (that’s September 11, 2001).

The fire in New York was, in part as a result of terrorists flying commercial aircraft into the twin towers of New York.

The Memorial she created on her own land at the townland of Ringfinnan, Kinsale, is with a tree for each death, each fireman, and one for their chaplain Father Michael Judge who was a close friend of nurse Murphy.

After her retirement, nurse Murphy moved home to Kinsale, County Cork. This land is not far inland on the south shore of Ireland. She knew she wanted to honor those firemen that died and did so on her own property with the help of family and friends. Sadly, Murphy died in 2011 which ended her battle with cancer. The garden has grown, the trees planted have taken root and don’t need much if any support except perhaps economic.

Some portions are slightly more mature than others. Like life itself. Some need help as stake and wires illustrate. American flags, and the name of the fireman cause you pause.

 Various logo of Fire, Police and Rescue units were pinned by their visitors on the entry gate for all to see. Roger was pleasantly surprised to spot in the 4^th vertical row from the left up four from the bottom, a patch from Rochester, Wisconsin. Rochester was a participating member of a fire investigation Task Force where I served as a volunteer for 15 of 20 years unpaid voluntary FD duty.

Rochester is located in Racine County, Wisconsin and one of a dozen volunteer fire departments within the county. Each of these departments had one or two active members, minimum as a volunteer on the Racine County Fire Investigation Task Force (RCFITf). It was formed to address a growing problem with intentionally set fires, which we call arson. When approaching retirement age from my Professional Engineering activity, at age sixty, it was year 2000 and the Arson Task force asked me to join them as a volunteer. I did and continued to serve fifteen years as an unpaid volunteer fireman working in Racine for the District Attorney’s Office along with typically 40 – 45 other volunteers (and later for five years on Three Lakes Volunteer FD). Such work, arson or fire investigation, is dedicated to finding cause and origin of a fire. Wisconsin law requires each fire chief to establish cause and origin of every fire in their jurisdiction. Some fires are difficult to establish cause, origin or both; therefore, Racine County formed a Task Force to address this problem.

In a 25 year span a solution to 2/3rds of fires that the dozen Racine fire departments requested the help of RCFITf put the perpetrator in jail on average for 8.5 years after solving cause and origin. Nationally, arson is solved about 1% of the time. RCFITf’s admirable solution rate of

66.6%, and the tenacity of the District Attorney led to the highest success rate in US history and resulted in a decrease in arson. Rochester FD participated and contributed to RCFITf’s success.

I wrote or assembled a paper or two on the topic of 9/11 and inserted it in a book on our trip to ‘Ireland in 2001’ at the time of the World Trade Center fires. Now, twenty-four years later, I have a totally different view of 9/11 than the one acceptable at the time. Today after the benefit of seeing the 2023 fire damage at Maui, Hawaii and the Camp Fires (Pacific Palisades) of 2018 in California it is highly probable that directed energy weapons (DEW) were a component of the Twin Tower fires of 9/11.

Looking at the CA fires, a car burned but the bush adjacent to the car untouched. Trees surrounding homes unburned with remaining foliage green. Trees burning inside the bark but look unburned outside. No toilets, metal water heaters, appliances, just white dust for home prints. The same sort of dust departing the twin towers. DEW is an explanation theory.

Maui has parallels to CA but here several blue items (cars, umbrellas, and plastic barrels were untouched, yet surrounded by devastation). Again, the houses are marked with white dust, bushes outside the homes still there, no toilets, hot water heaters, etc. Maui toilets would be iron and need about 2500 F to melt but there isn’t a melted toilet. There is nothing left but light grey, off-white dust. Just like we saw coming off the twin towers. DEW is an explanation theory.

Regarding the Twin Towers. Fire only burns up. Thus, the theory for destruction was upper floors pancaking and ratcheting floors pancaking down. Obvious clues would include cars on the street, out of the range of the heat from building fires, that had melted windows and molten aluminum from engines and wheels. An insignificant rubble pile for President Bush to stand upon compared to the size of the structure. Too little steel left behind considering both the central core of building and the external sheath were of steel. White plume from the concrete, few metal cabinets, few toilets, missing metallic content. DEW is an explanation theory.

DEW, directed energy weapons are the only avenue that seems logical but would be shocking to the public. Thus, ridiculed.
