Controlled perceptions + the need to conform = mass delusion

Journalists tell the truth to tell a lie. Novelists tell a lie to tell the truth. Norman Mailer (perhaps apocryphal)

To go against the dominant thinking of your friends, of most of the people you see very day, is perhaps the most difficult act of heroism you can have. (T.H. White)

He who controls the present, controls the past. He who controls the past, controls the future. (George Orwell)

In a an obscure movie we once watched called “Wag the Dog,” the entire premise is built around the notion that Americans do not get their news from television – they get their truth from there. It’s a really fun movie to watch – the president has been exposed as having molested a Girl Scout, and his staff needs a distracting story. They call in the expert, CIA man Conrad Brean (Robert Di Niro), who says that the scandal is so damaging that a war is needed to push it off to obscurity. But there is never a real war – there are only words and images (done in Hollywood using CGI), which is all the American people need. When other factions within government “end” the war, Brean “starts” it again.

But prior to the restart, Brean informs the president’s campaign staff that they are beaten – “The war is over. I saw it on TV.” That is, reality aside, what happens. TV is reality for Americans. No matter how illogical or contrary to nature, if it is read from a script by a credible person, if an image is shown, people believe it.

It’s a very good movie, based on the book American Hero by Larry Beinhart.

I vowed I was not going to do this, no sir. It’s a time-sink. No one will believe it anyway, as it is not on TV. But I did it. I am speaking of the events of 9/11, a very large and sophisticated military/intelligence/psychological operation. With such a phenomenon, street-level “researchers” enter a hall of mirrors. Those sophisticated and powerful enough to bring this event to fruition also know that a few hundred thousand skeptics will not buy the official story. Books will appear, photos will be analyzed, so that the stagers must run a counter-“truther” operation as well. Such an operation is replete with false leads and discrediting sideshows like fake moon landings and UFO’s. In that manner, those who question 9/11 are caged with those who believe in space aliens. For our benefit there are spooks masquerading as “Truthers” doing “limited hangouts.” I waded through much of this, but was fortunate enough to be able to eliminate the noise and clutter using a simple premise: If it looks like a garden path, leave the garden.

So here in my waste basket are books by David Ray Griffin that will be recycled. Anything written by Richard Gage (Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth), James Fetzer (Scholars for 9/11 Truth) and Alex Jones (???) should join him too. Dr. Stephen Jones, formerly of BYU, is an odd duck in that he’s a physicist promoting a theory that is quite impossible – use of nanothermites to bring down the Twin Towers. While they exist in weapons grade, the destruction of the towers does not exhibit characteristics of a substance used to sever metal. (Oddly, prior to his limited hangout, physicist Jones was a strong proponent that the cold fusion research of Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons, done in 1989, could not be duplicated.)

Please observe the YouTube below (8 seconds long), after which I kindly ask that you ignore all other suggested videos that follow in the YouTube frame. This one is quite important. It is of the jet airliner crashing into WTC-2.

There is our truth. If your reaction is like mine, you are thinking that it’s a startling image, and you wonder about the poor schmucks on the receiving end. We tend to accept visible phenomena at face value without question. I did, and spent too much time watching a guy trying to establish that this airliner was actually a drone. It does, after all, have an unusual protrusion on the bottom not seen on regular passenger jets. That is a classic “limited hangout …” telling us just enough to be misled. They knew the photos would come under scrutiny, and so planted fake evidence.

The picture is a lie. It’s not what protrudes underneath – it’s what that airliner supposedly did – cutting through the tower made of steel trusses and beams like a knife through butter. It is physically impossible. And that is what we need to discuss. No matter what follows – the perceived damage the building, the real collapse of that tower (something really did hit it), that image is false. Light aluminum wings cannot cut through steel girders. Further, jet aircraft cannot fly at 560 mph at low altitude. They can only do that at 35,000 feet. Down lower they cannot generate the necessary power to overcome air resistance, and even if they could, would disintegrate. It’s all a lie.

Fortunately, among all of the noise out there is a voice that I have decided to trust, though not unconditionally. Her name is Dr. Judy Wood. When asked about the phenomenon of the airliner slicing through the butter-building, she said (paraphrased): “Since real planes crashing into those buildings could not bring them down, neither could fake planes. So I am not going to waste my time on it.”

Dr. Wood is a scourge among “Truthers,” and refuses to call herself such. She does not truck with that crowd, and so has drawn the scorn of Gage and Fetzer, among others. That’s a good sign, but remember that we are in a palace of mirrors, so trust is itself necessarily a limited commodity. Those who were so clever and powerful pull this off also know how to do a cover-up. They knew there would be tens of thousands or more people like me who could not buy the 19-Arab conspiracy theory, and so for our benefit have constructed false leads. In the end, after all of the dustified confusion settles, we’ll be left with the official story, no matter how implausible. Fifty years after JFK, newspapers and historians still tell the Oswald tale. It’s settled history, no matter the truth.

Dr. Wood refuses to speculate on who or why, and only in a limited manner on “how.” She looks what happened that day without regard to official stories or Truther sideshows. Among her findings:

• The seismic impacts of the collapse of WTC-1 and WTC-2 are less than 4% of what they should have registered given the mass and weight of the buildings.
• The seismic impact of the collapse of WTC-7 is virtually nonexistent.
• The sound registered by the collapse of WTC-7 is virtually indistinguishable from other background street-level noise. It was an almost silent collapse.
• The weight of the two towers (over 1.1 million tons) should have ruptured the “bathtub”,” or the dikes built around the WTC Complex holding out the Hudson River, flooding the subway system and a large portion of lower Manhattan. Instead, the bathtub is left in near pristine condition.
• As many as 1,200 people jumped from the towers that day, many exploding into parts as they hit the ground.

  

• As many as 1400 automobiles spontaneously combusted that day, at least one as far away as FDR Boulevard, over one-half mile away. One responder, crossing the Washington Bridge, said that she could feel the heat that far away, though the bridge did not sustain any direct heat. She was feeling intense energy.

The so-called “Freedom Tower” (people, please! That’s embarrassing!) and other new structures in the complex are being built on stilts encased in concrete, an odd design for a skyscraper that indicates that the molecular destruction process that occurred on 9/11 was not self-contained, and is still going on.

Explanations? She offers nothing concrete, so to speak. She only says that the power of suggestion – being told within 30 minutes of the second impact that morning that it was a terrorist act committed by Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden (a story first planted that day by George Tenet and Richard Clarke) – was all most of us needed. All networks that day used the same video feed, the same picture with differing perceived distances. After that the need for group coherence overrode any deviant sensory perceptions, which was the psychological aspect of this attack. If we have any doubts, images such as the plane slicing through the butter of the building reinforce our perceptions. Ridicule by authority figures and our need for group coherence also work, as does the fact that counter-evidence (or even discussion beyond the official story) is never presented nor discussed on TV, the source of American truth.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Below is a NASA satellite image take on the morning of 9/11, and this is truly mind-boggling:

Yes, that is quite hard to believe. It’s a NASA photograph, yet no newscast that day or in the ten days leading up to 9/11, when Hurricane Erin was headed straight to New York City, mentioned it. September 11, 2011 was a bright sunshiny day, we were told. All three major airports in that area – La Guardia, JFK and Newark – reported thunder and rain that morning, but local and national weather reports made no mention of it. There was no mention of Hurricane Erin, right off the coast of New York City. That’s really strange.

Above is a picture of New York City on 9/11, after the towers collapsed. The haze in the distance at the very top is hurricane Erin, and below the haze is the darkness caused by blocked-out sunlight. It is evidence, but of what? She does discuss the resemblance of a hurricane to a Tesla coil, or an immense energy source, but that’s beyond my grasp.

Hurricane Erin made an abrupt right turn that day. This really is the stuff of science fiction.

Dr. Wood, along with a few others, are suggesting that the energy source that created the spectacular events of that day cannot be explained by pancake collapse, explosive demolition, nano-thermites or mini-nukes. The buildings did not collapse down or blow up. They “dustified.” All of the chatter about the steel being carted off the China was but another limited hangout. There was hardly any steel left, which was indeed quickly disposed of. But most of it was already gone on the evening of 9/11.

The only known technology (outside of the military) that is consistent with the events of that day are directed free-energy devices. This technology has been around since Nikola Tesla, but research into weaponizing of the process began in earnest back in the 1980’s under a program nicknamed “Star Wars.” The essence of the phenomenon is creation of a static energy field which is penetrated with wave interference. This causes the materials like cement, steel, chairs and files and adding machines, to disintegrate. Molecules literally repel internally and come apart. With humans it creates an unbearable sensation of heat and discomfort that leads to irrational attempts to get away from it, such as ripping off clothing and jumping out of buildings. Objects on the fringes of the field will exhibit symptoms such as those seen with cars toasting blocks away even though they were not affected by shock waves or heat. These cars melted, but the melting stopped at door gaskets, and the paper around them did not ignite. Handles and trunk locks evaporated.

That is a quick summation of the work of Dr. Wood, who has written the book Where Did the Towers Go?, self-published and quite expensive. It is of textbook quality with glossy pages and hundreds of photographs and tables. The science within is quite complex for an accountant. When I see a summation symbols and sub-ordinates, I cringe. Math is not my strong point, much less advanced algebra and trig.

Another man who appears trustworthy is Webster Tarpley, though I hold him at arm’s length due to the variety of odd-duck subjects he also explores (such as moon landing hoaxes). He’s interesting, however, in that he apparently has a good knowledge-base regarding intelligence activities, use of patsies, dupes, moles and actual agents to bring off spectacles like this. According to him, the agents behind this disaster are not necessarily (completely) within government, and the central location from which it was managed was not (necessarily) Langley or the Pentagon. It could well have been done from a hanger at Northrup or a basement in facility in some other unknown location. The agents behind it are not (necessarily) all Americans, as intelligence agencies of many countries work together and are a government unto themselves. But the refusal of the American government to investigate 9/11 is telling. (The 9/11 Commission started with the 19-Arab theory and worked from there. It was a joke, designed to fail.)

According to Tarpley, Osama bin Laden was a mere patsy who was “sheepdipped,” or made to look guilty in the months and years leading up to the event. He was a tool sitting on the shelf, and could have been anyone else (or could have been used for other purposes). He’s just a face, as were the other 19. Like most patsies, he had Doppelgängers. According to a colleague of his in the Afghanistan adventure of the 1980’s, the real OBL could not have led a family of ducks across the street. He was deeply deluded and easily confused, and apparently did not even know, when he fought with the mujahedeen in Afghanistan in the 1980’s, that the U.S. was supplying the weapons.

According to Tarpley, on the day of 9/11, there were more than 40 military and civilian agency exercises were going on involving NORAD, FAA and military. For that reason, air traffic controllers and NORAD people did not know what was real, and what was part of the exercise. This is how it happens: Supposed practice drills are switched to live action. This is the case with Operation Valkyrie, the NATO attack on Libya in 2010, Operation Mongoose (supposedly intended to kill Castro but turned on JFK), and 9/11. Among the drills that day was one involving hijacked airliners crashing into the Twin Towers. While there were no actual airliners hitting the towers that day, something did, and the blips on radar screens were quite real. The problem was that controllers, NORAD and air defense did not know what was real, what was not, and were as surprised as anyone when those blips headed for New York turned out to be quite real.

In any event, the objects flying into the towers was a mere cover story for their destruction by other means. It was a very large and sophisticated operation, and the coverup is going on as we speak. The psychological aspects – the mere fact that intelligent people believe that 19 Arabs with box cutters could have pulled it off – is as remarkable as the collapses themselves.

These past two weeks we have been watching a BBC-One production called “Sherlock,” some of the best television I have seen outside of The Wire and, of course, the Rockford Files. BBC-One only puts on three two-hour episodes each year, and they are of high quality. The writing and acting are superb. But what draws me to the shows are what drew me to the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes to begin with – a good mystery well told. 9/11 is just that. If only it were more than the TV show we saw that day, if only the deaths and destruction were not real.

Tarpley discusses the Global Guardian Computer Network (CNA) exercise done that day – the White House was informed by use of real missile launch codes that the government was under attack, and to surrender. This was the voice of the real network behind the attack, and the threat was that Bush himself, oddly hung out to dry in public in Miami, was expendable if he did not go along. (As Tarpley tells it, Bush sat there quietly because Ari Fleischer stood in the back of the room holding a sign that said “Don’t speak.”) There was a Bush/Putin phone call that day, and no doubt communication with China announcing the coup d’état and the real threat of war. The near-term object was the former Soviet bloc countries of Central Asia, the ‘stans.’ Russia was too weak to stop it, as was China. Since that day both have been involved in aggressive arms buildup programs.

I am among a minority who believes that the bombs of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were not militarily necessary, but were used as a mighty demonstration of power. The intended audience was Joe Stalin. The New Regime in Washington, supposedly headed by the clueless Harry Truman, had motive, means and had no qualms about use. On the ground level we are told that the bombs were dropped to save American lives. At high levels, people know exactly what was done and why. Joe Stalin had no illusions about his enemy in August of 1945.

Tarpley suggests that the weapons used to destroy the World Trade Center in 2001, cutting like a knife through the towers, and destroying Buildings 3,4,5,6 and 7 were meant as a demonstration of power. Another part of the demonstration is the ease with which the American people are fooled, and stay fooled. There are no internal threats to the New Regime. In the ensuing months the U.S. has launched attacks on seven countries, some direct, all by military and intelligence subversion. They are Somalia, Sudan, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Syria and Lebanon. (I would add Venezuela to Gen. Wesley Clark’s list.) Once the pesky Islamic states are removed, what is left besides a clash among the big dogs, the U.S., Russia and China?

At the base of it, according to Tarpely, is the U.S. economy and the dollar, which are collapsing. Just as World War II followed a depression, so these events follow from our ongoing economic stagnation. The U.S. sits on a precarious ledge, and the only thing that keeps us from falling over is the fact that oil is traded in dollars. Without control of oil, our currency would devalue by 30-40%. This is a fight for preservation of empire on the verge of collapse, a most dangerous situation indeed.

And yes, I am troubled by the ridicule I will receive for writing this. It is only because of non-adherance to groups, which goes all the way back to a short membership in the Boys Scouts as a young kid, that allows me to see what other miss, cannot see, or refuse to see.
