Hello and a very warm welcome to CoRe -good to have you on board, IWantTheTruth.
Everyone has different ideas, talents, and varying amounts of time and money that they can spend trying to help others to waken up to what's going on around us. I believe that for most people, the starting point is a trigger from the Internet, which is such a great resource for finding out more facts before deciding how best to move forwards.
Many congratulations in managing to reach your family - this often seems to be the hardest thing to do, and from my own observations, female relatives are usually the most difficult of all to convince. I think you must be very well-informed already, and also very good at getting the message across to others - the Truth Movement really needs people like you!
Everyone can do something to help, whether they want to be out and about and engaging people directly in conversation, or else distributing information fliers and organising meetings. A lot of people, myself included, like to burn many DVDs each week and hand them out to people - friends, neighbours, complete strangers - and / or hold "screenings", where they find e.g. a school to lend them a room for an evening, distribute fliers & posters to advertise the event, & then show documentaries to a roomful of people with a discussion afterwards. However, I believe this may initially be more problematic for people in countries where English is a second language.
Although the Lithuanians I've had the pleasure of meeting online have invariably had an excellent command of English, I'm sure that some of the older generation must struggle with it. Therefore, English language DVDs might not be the easiest way of getting information across & inducing people to start asking their own questions.
However, "Loose Change" - the most successful Internet documentary on 9/11 - has had an informal project running for well over a year now, where various people have produced subtitles in their own languages for this excellent documentary. To the best of my knowledge, no-one has yet produced documentary subtitles in any form of Lithuanian or its various dialects - do you think it would be useful if these were available? If so, this could be one way of reaching a lot of new people with information very quickly (producing subtitles would take a couple of weeks). If you would be interested in translating subtitles into Lithuanian, I would be delighted to help you with the (free) software etc. needed to get started - or anything else computer-related, for that matter.
A lot of areas in the UK, for example, now have enough people interested in getting the word out to others that they have formed 9/11 action groups - and very many "9/11 Truth" websites are popping up, all loosely interlinked. These groups meet each month or so, and organise events accross the country such as having outstanding public speakers like Dr. David Ray Griffin and William Rodriguez visit different areas of the UK.
Other people share documentaries and information via BitTorrent, so we now have our own CoRe
BitTorrent tracker as well ('ll be upgrading this and making some improvements over the next few weeks). If you want to distribute documentaries to a lot of people very quickly, this can be one of the fastest ways of doing so - the most important thing being to "advertise" your torrent via e.g. dumpsites, so that people can easily find this information that is available. We also have a
Wiki here, and although the info is currently all in English, we'd be delighted to have mirror pages in Lithuanian - or any other language. The whole idea behind CoRe is to help people find and share as much quality information as possible, and to find other like-minded people to help do so.
Another way of helping raise awareness is by writing letters / sending emails to your local and national politicians / newspapers / TV stations / phoning in for radio discussion programmes etc. Anything that you can do to help people start asking questions and looking for answers is good - many people just aren't aware that there are questions to be asked.
I hope this might give you some idea of how some other people are trying to get the information out, although I think it's important to mention that the best ideas of how to do this might not have been thought of yet. If you have new ideas on how to reach people with information, that would be great & we'd love to hear them too.
Looking forward to hearing more from you
