Will There Be 9/11 Truth?

The 9/11 events have become a sort of modern-day litmus test for common sense. The evidence for demolition and inside job are so endless and glaringly obvious that if one still doesn't grasp the truth after seeing the evidence than there is a real psychological aspect preventing that individual from coming to terms with reality.

you can't convince fundamentalists that homosexuality isn't a sin if you acknowledge already that there is sin. All bridges can be rebuilt.

responsible for 9/11 also likely perpetrated the Swine Flu scare, which is now history except for the transfer of money from taxpayers into the accounts of drug companies. "Turning the Key" to make these kind of transactions is what politicians do, and the rest of us? We're just pawns to be moved around. Well, no more. I left America two years ago and likely will not return...unless there is a full blown revolution.

So much of me wants nothing more than to grab the unconcerned masses by the shoulders and shake them violently, prying open their eyes to the obvious, albeit horrific truth. And yet, to do so will quite possibly do nothing more than forever turn away those whom I wish to enlighten.

Peter Joseph, the man behind the making of the Zeitgeist films, saw this dilemma. His first film, "Zeitgeist: The Movie," shed light on the awful truth of 9/11 and other issues that I am sure I do not need to discuss here. There was such a negative reaction to the information presented in the film that many people convinced themselves that he was simply a fanatic anti-American, rather than an honest man who seeks nothing more than an exposition of truth and the advancement of society towards a more sane, sustainable future. For this reason, when he produced the sequel, "Zeitgeist: Addendum," he decided to focus primarily on the absurdity of the monetary system, and incorporated an extensive plan for change (The Venus Project).

If we truly wish to put an end to the craziness that is our government and socioeconomic structure and the corrupt, abhorrent actions that it promotes, we must avoid dwelling on the issues of the past and instead promote a positive outlook for the future--one that is appealing to the masses and will allow them to see for themselves that the current system to which they are subservient is not structured with their best interests in mind.

I was watching the Towers, and though I wasn't the closest I saw them crumble to the Earth like they was full of explosives And they thought nobody noticed the news report that they did About the bombs planted on the George Washington bridge Four Non-Arabs arrested during the emergency

Actually Bohdimind, if the truth does come out publicly concerning 9/11, it will *also* unravel our society because those responsible will be held accountable, and the entire "war on terror" will be spotlighted for what it really is. Our society as we know it will come crashing in on its own footprint just as the 3 buildings did on that fateful day. The implications of 9/11 truth exposure are extraordinarily radical. No wonder the real perpetrators are so intent on keeping the lid on it.

What I find most interesting in the debate about what happened on 9/11/2001 is the implicit revelation that the phrase "conspiracy theory" is completely meaningless except as a rhetorical tactic. Consider: if you doubt the official story, then you are dismissed as a "conspiracy theorist." And yet the official story is itself the tale of a conspiracy between at least 18 people. So what does it mean to say that someone is a "conspiracy theorist" in a situation where ALL the theories involve a conspiracy? It means that you are handily dismissed without any further thought needed.

 

So we can take that lesson with us. Dismissing anything out of hand as a "conspiracy theory" is simply a strategy for people who haven't actually given the matter any thought (which is not the same thing as saying that the people espousing the "conspiracy theory" are correct, BTW). If they did, they would strike the phrase "conspiracy theory" from their lexicons.

Thanks for putting this out there Marisa. I would like to repeat the comment by teleomorph that I think is completely accurate:"The 9/11 events have become a sort of modern-day litmus test for common sense. The evidence for demolition and inside job are so endless and glaringly obvious that if one still doesn't grasp the truth after seeing the evidence than there is a real psychological aspect preventing that individual from coming to terms with reality."

Another comment though said we need to move on and focus on the future, forget about whatever happened that day, and this I completely disagree with. All of the current occupations, that have killed hundreds of thousands of innocent people, and continue to kill more every day, are still implicitly "justified" by the official 9/11 story, which has been shown in countless ways to be false. It is also the continued "justification" for all of the increased domestic tyranny that has come in the form of the "Patriot Act" and similar legislation, which Obama has not removed at all, even though they are completely unconstitutional violations of our Rights. SO THE PAST IS IMPORTANT FOR TODAY! Especially when they use that Lie to continue their imperialism/tyranny... common sense! Haven't You heard the quote: "Those Who Ignore History are Destined to Repeat It"?? Meaning in our particular historical context:  http://www.infowars.com/another-false-flag-terror-attack-as-justification-for-war-and-trampling-on-our-freedoms/

Yet many here and elsewhere who consider themselves progressive/radical/evolutionary dismiss the massive evidence that the official 9/11 story is a lie (the continued foundation of mass-killings of hundreds of thousands of civilians and domestic tyranny) and focus on unsubstantiated and much less important theories instead (as seen on Reality Sandwich!), again to "justify" the fact they are remaining apathetic on an issue of immense importance. Some issues, like 9/11 Truth and Veganism, are MUCH more important than others, and deserve to be discerned as such and not dismissed as "just another theory".

If people can't discern what is most crucial to progress then they will continue to wade in the stagnate postmodern narcissistic waters until an underwater beast of tyranny/nihilism swallows them whole completing their unconscious defeatist self-narrative of life, even though there were many ropes of truth thrown to pull them out of their delusion, oppression, and negative action & apathy, crucial truths disregarded for comforting self-fooling day-dreams like the ideas that psychedelics and 2012 will bring the "new age".

In my opinion, conspiracy theories form part of an emerging 'New Age' mythology, generated by those who have lost trust in western institutions and their ability to deal with the awesome challenges this planet is now facing. The creation of this counter-culture mythology forms part of an attempt to break away from old patterns of culturally conditioned thought, and behavior, systemic of our current global crisis. This myth making (propagated by pseudo documentaries like Zeitgeist) is a valuable process in so far as it challenges the status quo, prompting people to question their basic assumptions, but fails to serve anybody when it becomes an escape into fantasy and delusion. The ideas in Zeitgeist, that people should not lend unthinking acquiescence to what they are told by government or the media is certainly worthy. However, wallowing in a bunch of alternative history or alternative reality theories that are no more substantiated is not likely to create an environment of critical thinking. Those who recognise the urgency of ushering in a new paradigm, and are seriously engaged in the process of change, should exercise a degree of sobriety and rationality in their thought and action because, as we all know, our beliefs shape reality. The disastrous results of constructing a world view based on flawed and ill conceived beliefs are coalescing in our current global crisis, and serve as strong testimony for the importance of maintaining critical awareness. Noam Chomsky criticises the 9/11 Truth movement for its low level of critical engagement. "People who know nothing about civil engineering, except what they picked up on the internet somewhere, are giving learned treatise on what must have happened: How could a building do this, that, and the other thing? These are not trivial matters. You can’t just look up on the internet and say, “I’m an accomplished civil engineer.” So those who make such claims just don’t understand the nature of evidence." (Chomsky, 2007, p.13) Noam Chomsky’s stance on 9/11 is that the debate over whether or not the Bush administration was involved in blowing up the World Trade Centre is periphery to far more serious problems and serves as a kind of distraction from the real, proven, and ongoing crimes of the U.S. administration. These crimes form part of America's quest for global domination that began after World War II, a quest which is now entering an advanced stage. This should be far more concerning than 9/11 conspiracy theories as Chomsky states: "Power centers treat (conspiracy theories) very sympathetically, which takes us to another point. Why are they treated sympathetically? Because It’s diverting enormous amounts of energy away from real crimes of the administration, which are far more serious, even than what they are accused of at 9/11. So suppose they blew up the World Trade Center. By their standards, that’s a minor crime. Take increasing the threat of nuclear war and environmental disaster. That’s a far worse crime, and it may lead to extinction of the species. Take the invasion of Iraq. Take the invasion of Lebanon. Take what they are doing to working people in the U.S. The list goes on and on and there is very little protest. One reason is that an enormous amount of potential activist energy has been directed into this so from their point of view its great." (Chomsky, 2008) I can understand why Chomsky is dismayed with the 911 Truth movement. He has devoted his life to uncovering real atrocities committed by the U.S. government. His books point with laser accuracy to U.S. war crimes involving the slaughter of millions of people in the name of materialism and U.S. global hegemony. He is a true scholar, prolific in his publication of reasoned intelligent argument supported by meticulously researched facts that demonstrate the real and provable ways in which the US Government is threatening global security, waging a militant and propagandistic war on democracy, freedom, and life. Chomsky has already done all the hard work to bring this to people's attention! In comparison the 9/11 Truth movement looks facile and misguided, displaying all the worst qualities of blind fanaticism and hysteria. With the quality of the evidence provided in support of 9/11 theories you could prove that the White House was blown up yesterday. This is why Chomsky regards these theories as a drain on energy. He suggests that they are actually encouraged by the establishment as a smoke screen, to distract people from real issues. References Chomsky, N. (2007).

Yes, I could be guilty of parroting Chomsky here... I will take a closer look at 911 evidence... Thanks for the response

Has anyone noticed that the number of comments for this article keep getting lower. A week ago there were over 30 comments here. I'm not suggesting some kind of RS conspiracy or anything. It's just odd. I've seen this happen for other articles as well. Anyone know why?
