Interesting comments. I remember the process I went through about the time I began to realize the official story was hogwash from front to back. I'd generally avoided the trash that passes for headline news for a very long time, except for business news likely to affect my investments. I was trying to figure out if we were really going to attack Iraq and if Iraq actually posed any kind of threat that made them deserving of being attacked. What I eventually figured out is Iraq was totally innocent of the accusations being made against them, and that we were going to attack them regardless. The Bush Crime Family claimed so many times that we needed to illegally invade Iraq because of 9/11, that I eventually realized 9/11 had to take place to give them their excuse. On hind sight, I really didn't know much about 9/11 when I started this thread, or I never would have put the question mark behind "Bush - The Mastermind Behind 9/11". I was mainly interested in finding out if anyone else was seeing the same kind of smoking guns I was running across. I suppose I was happier when all I knew was that George Bush II was a brain damaged, oil profiteering, draft dodging mut, who no one in their right mind would vote for. Knowing my home and country is in the hands of a person who makes Hitler look like a boy scout isn't much fun. Never the less, I'd still rather know the truth than fall in behind the lemming herd on their swimming expedition. For all the progress the human race has seemed to make at times, you'd think we'd eventually out grow the belief the village shaman can make it rain by shaking rattles at the sky. Oh well

Re: Cognitive dissonance Do you mean "Crimestop"? Clue: A Technocracy member is expected to have no private opinions and no respites from enthusiasm. He is supposed to live in a continuous frenzy of hatred of foreign enemies and internal traitors, triumph over victories, and selfabasement before the power and wisdom of the Technocracy. The discontents produced by his bare, unsatisfying life are deliberately turned outwards and dissipated by such devices as the Bin Laden Hate, and the speculations which might possibly induce a sceptical or rebellious attitude are killed in advance by his early acquired inner discipline. The first and simplest stage in the discipline, which can be taught even to young children, is called, in Doubletalk, crimestop. Crimestop means the faculty of stopping short, as though by instinct, at the threshold of any dangerous thought. It includes the power of not grasping analogies, of failing to perceive logical errors, of misunderstanding the simplest arguments if they are inimical to Laissezfaire, and of being bored or repelled by any train of thought which is capable of leading in a heretical direction. Crimestop, in short, means protective stupidity. [...] Subject 33609
