Thirteen years ago the world changed; though it is only with the benefit of perspective may we clearly see the extent and duration of that change. But change it did and remarkably so after perspective is found and the world is seen for what it really is rather than what we are told it is - or what we want it to be based upon our own cultural conditioning and personally biased worldview.
This is not to say I see clearly, that I possess an unbiased mind, special insight or clarity of vision. Far from it in fact. On a daily basis I fight the tendency to develop a rigid mindset and view the world through that comforting lens. To help me resist this temptation I must constantly remind myself a static world view often results from my need to feel I can understand and control what is at times incomprehensible and most certainly uncontrollable. I have learned from personal experience the more I feel out of control the more I will try to exert control. It is a battle I will lose every time if I engage.
There is so much intentionally created confusion and misinformation out there that anyone claiming to know exactly what is going on is either tragically self deluded and living in a fantasy world, ideologically deaf, dumb and blind or a misinformation agent attempting to muddy the waters some more. I am not sure if anyone knows our true history anymore, including those entities busy rewriting it at this very moment.
That said, a huge and tragic mistake made by nearly all of us (not just the mainstream media contrarians reading this) is to assume we must have in place a complete and detailed historical narrative, including names, confessions and the smoking gun, before we discard the previous one, particularly if the one being discarded is ‘official’. This is of course a ridiculous requirement since from a logic and common sense point of view one is not required to know what is right in order to declare something wrong.
This incredibly effective controlling mind meme has become so thoroughly embedded within the collective consciousness that even so-called critical thinkers repeat this demand of anyone approaching them to request they re-examine their beliefs and consider alternatives. I am speaking directly to you and me, the alternative media reader here. This is a demand I might add we would unilaterally reject as preposterous if applied to our own ‘profession’, but which we gratefully embrace when protecting our cherished belief systems regardless of whether it is the official narrative or a contrary point of view. At times we are all trapped by our rigid thinking.
Even those who have rejected the official historical account of > fill in the blank < as balderdash are often quick to offer up an alternative thesis lest they be perceived as less than credible, competent or even (perish the thought) a conspiracy theorist. This is greatest mind killing, thought stopping epitaph ever created by the thought control police since accusations of witches, warlocks and devil worshipers were used to control dissenting thought. Regardless of your mind set one must admit this is brilliantly applied mind control technique via co-opted language and the hive mind. Score one to the CIA for that little gem.
The fact is liars lie and those who profit from lying, and by profit I don’t mean exclusively financial, will lie until the cows come home and “We the People” are pacified (or at least mentally, physically and emotionally disarmed) once again. Thus it fascinates me to no end how in one breath someone will declare all politicians and government officials are liars and corrupt, and in the next vigorously defend what ‘their’ lying politician and authority has claimed is the God’s Honest Truth and the ‘official’ story. And with a pinky swear no less.
“That’s my story and I’m sticking to it…..until I claim to have misspoken and we start all over again.”
Of course this almost always applies to the really big lies, the ones everyone can comfortably believe since no one would ever tell a whopper like that. After all, we can bitch and complain all we want about the effects of the corrupt system, but we must never fully question the very basis of the corrupt system itself for this will force us to question ourselves and our part in the charade. Careful we don’t bite the hand that feeds us……even if what we feed upon are ‘just’ yummy emotional security tidbits and a ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ affirmation of what is ‘normal’……so long as we don’t look beyond the paper thin veneer.
This neurosis of ours is skillfully played to the hilt, both by those who lie to us and by those who wish to be lied to. Truth be told we all enjoy a comforting lie now and then, just as long as it fits reasonably well within our overall worldview and inner narrative. In this way we are able to have our cake and eat it too, to both believe the (big) lie while not really believing (all of) it. Just don’t look too closely at the glaring conflicts and omissions in the official and alternative narratives, while at the same time looking just close enough to substitute in something that better fits into our own personal and infinitely customizable view of the world.

Which brings me to the subject of this article, “9/11 – The Ultimate Litmus Test”. Let me declare upfront that I ‘know’ two things with an extremely high degree of certainty about 9/11.
Number one, I have no idea exactly what happened on that brilliantly blue second Tuesday in September, let alone who and what was behind the event. And anyone who says they do is either blinded by their ideology, full of self deluded bullshit, or the mastermind of the entire operation. Please note I said EXACTLY. I know a lot about 9/11 and that is the problem. What I think I know is far greater than what I actually ‘know’. With that in mind I try to remind myself I have just enough information to make me dangerous to myself and no one else.
I am very comfortable stating for the record I ‘know’ almost nothing with absolute certainty about 9/11 and much of what I suspect happened on that beautiful fall day is little more than opinion and supposition. The only (slight) advantage I may have over many others when considering this subject is I wasn’t as deeply imprinted psychologically that morning/day because I was recovering from emergency surgery the night before and was enjoying the sweet bliss of a doctor prescribed morphine drip.
It was truly remarkable and quite surreal watching huge buildings disintegrate into dust with no emotional involvement or investment on my part. I know I upset several traumatized nurses and doctors that morning with my unsympathetic appraisal of the unfolding Psyops. Even in my drugged state I could recognize a con when it was being foisted upon us. But knowing something is a con and knowing how the con is run and who and what are behind it are two very different balls of tangled yarn.
It is the ultimate of egoic arrogance and hubris, which itself often carefully conceals our fear and emotional insecurity, for anyone to declare they ‘know’ who, what, when, where and why when in fact most of what they ‘know’ is at best supposition, hypothesis and logic based guessing. Naturally most of us get around this by asserting we ‘know’ most of what happened and would know all if only those dirty rotten bastards would come clean and spill the beans.
It is one thing to point out logical inconsistencies, outright contradictions and false statements in the official narrative, not to mention deliberate omissions and the obscuring of information. It is another entirely to state unequivocally ‘we’ know this or that, then point to the problems within the official narrative as ‘proof’ we are correct.
This speaks directly to the neurotic need of so many contrarians (that means you and me dear reader) to present an alternative explanation to replace the one we reject in order to appear credible. Why in the world are ‘we’ so worried about appearing credible to those who have no intention of believing anything other than what they wish to believe? And yet ‘we’ do.
Number two, the official 9/11 cover story stinks worse than two week old fish in August and is so full of holes it contains no substantial factual ‘truth’ to speak of other than bits and pieces here and there held together with baling wire and chewing gum. This is not to say there is no ‘truth’ (maybe I should say ‘fact’ since truth is often subjective) in the story.
Any competent liar will insistent a critical ingredient when concocting a successful (read plausible) lie is to mix just enough truth, especially self damaging truth, into the fetid cesspool of deception, deceit and duplicity. The best ‘genuine imitation’ stew is the one that contains a little real beef mixed in with the chunks of mystery meat and salmonella.
The ‘official’ 9/11 cover story is so full of crap the smell test alone is the early warning sign to fumigate and then repeatedly flush while hoping the septic tank or municipal sewer system can handle the mess without backing up. However the brilliance behind this treachery IS the cover story, as is the case with all reasonably well executed cover stories regardless of how transparent it might be. Enough ‘truth’, omission, scapegoats, blind alleys, false leads, backtracking and ideological red herrings has been seeded into the official cover-up to keep EVERYONE on both sides of the aisle endlessly chasing their tails. A true one-size-fits-all disinformation narrative if ever there was one.

For those who don’t wish to acknowledge the extremely uncomfortable truth they are sleeping with the enemy (meaning the mainstream media mesmerized) there are just enough self damaging ‘facts’ mixed into the official stew to ‘allow’ them to believe any variety of alternative narratives that point towards governmental/military incompetence, bald faced greed and self dealing, cover-your-ass bureaucratic backpedaling, terrorist ‘bad’ guys who hate-us-for-our-freedom let-me-sleep-like-a-baby ‘beliefs’.
Just as long as ‘we’ are given whatever it takes to avoid looking too closely into the black abyss and seeing ‘us’ for what ‘we’, as well as those formerly and presently in power, really are. After all I can call my wife a whore or my government a killer of its own citizens, but if you say that…well, them thar is fighting words.
Then there is the so called alternative point of view championed by a witch’s brew of dissenting, disaffected and downright angry individuals and small groups who, sadly and unfortunately, have been thoroughly infiltrated and mostly disarmed by the grand keepers of The Big Lie.
That neurotic impulse previously mentioned, of the need to present a complete and plausible alternative explanation when rejecting the official narrative, is expertly used to leverage every possible alternative account regardless of how plausible, or not, it may be. So long as everyone is going nowhere we can spin our wheels to our hearts content while the Grand Parade marches on. Lots of smoke, but no fire, is the objective of the disruptors and disinformation peddlers.
Not only does this keep the minions busy fighting among themselves, but anyone on the outside brave enough to fight back their inner fear of leaving the Matrix and taking a peek inside the alternative reality world is quickly spooked back to dry land by the absolute insanity and brutality of the alternative blogosphere. This is as much by design as by happenstance. Some people are truly just trolls and some are agents of the system hired to send the rabbits out of their holes and into the waiting arms of the existing insane asylum. And sadly some just follow the leader troll and act out their inner aggressions.
Somewhere in the middle of the true crazies screaming bloody murder, the misinformation agents acting out their roles as either crazies or ‘experts’ (and sometimes both), the mostly well intentioned individuals just seeking to find some answers amongst the deafening roar, and the vast silent majority of the minority, those who are truly frightened and confused and who just want the insanity to go away so they can go back to some sort of peaceful sleep, lay the ‘truth’ - slowly being starved to death for lack of nutrition and nurturing by all parties involved.
Contrary to the alternative universe crowd’s present day self image, the desire to go back to sleep seems to be the case for a large and growing population of frightened angry people who are skillfully manipulated, or at least herded, into self destructive actions, self defeating chest beating and righteously indignant late night screaming by way of blogging and posting passionate diatribes via the Interwebby – on occasion this author included.
Mission accomplished as far as the controllers are concerned. Better to have the disaffected corralled in the cattle shoot snipping at one another rather than out in the streets directly confronting authority or taking incremental steps towards slowly withdrawing from the enslaving system. Impossible you say? These human psychological bomb defusing and disposal techniques are older than Jesus Christ himself, stretching back to well before the Roman Empire. All the way back in fact to the Egyptian pharaohs.
[On a side note a totally fascinating and somewhat well documented theory posits that Christianity was created and/or hijacked by the Romans to counter and defuse what was at the time a militantly violent and revolutionary Jewish religion bent on the overthrow and destruction of the Roman Empire in what we today call the Middle East.
Have you ever seriously considered why the Old Testament is so militant and violent while the New Testament is essentially passive? Or pondered why the Jewish faith does not accept the New Testament? Talk about hijacked; if even slightly true, consider the similarities between this theory and what is happening within and to the Muslim religion today by forces outside and within that faith.]
Remarkably, while ‘our’ recorded history has been repeatedly distorted, re-written and omitted time after time, the distortion techniques used are all very well documented and displayed in plain sight for all who are not ideologically blind to see. In my opinion this is a not-so-subtle middle finger to those who claim to be right minded and on the side of truth and justice for all. Essentially we are being told, “This is what we do and how we do it. Whatcha gonna do about it fool?”
How do you defeat someone or something much larger than you? Ask any martial arts or military strategy expert and they will tell you the secret to their universe in a few choice words………deception and leverage. Instead of acting to protect ourselves from the predators who use these techniques against ‘us’, we enable them by destroying ourselves and those around us. Just spend a little time studying some recent history from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s for some examples of self destruction, though I suggest you stay away from the official cover stories endlessly repeated via history textbooks and encyclopedias.
Have you ever wondered what happened to the various ‘popular’ movements and uprisings of those three decades? Again and again and again agents acting in the interest of the power elite and status quo infiltrated anything perceived to be a threat in order to sidetrack, dissolve or outright control any and all ‘subversive’ groups using polarizing techniques that are timeless in their effectiveness and efficiency.
There is only one rule to follow for all centers of power and that is to protect and preserve that power. This applies whether the power resides in governments, (central) banks, corporations, kings, pharaohs or Caesars all the way down to petty school yard bullies and megalomaniac Wal-Mart assistant managers.
If it is newly consolidated power acquired with the ‘consent’ of the people then initially those catered to will be “We the People”. But over time, as the absolute power corrupts absolutely, the fastest and easiest way to remain on top is through increasingly more widespread corruption via confiscating the wealth of the people and then spreading it among those few elite most able and available to assist in the maintenance of that power. Thus corruption spreads and infects everyone including “We the People” who in many cases must resort to these same methods in order to survive within the insanity. Either we become the mob or we die by the mob.
While anything goes in the pursuit of this goal, towards the end of Empire (regardless of the size of that empire) increasingly more ruthless and ‘efficient’ methods are employed to control the herd as the facade that originally kept “We the People” sedated and sated, or at least at bay, dissolves into an orgy of excess and opulence for those who ‘have’ and oppressive drugged drudgery for those who have not, all while “We the People’s” remaining money and wealth are debased and destroyed.
Actually I misspoke at the top of this article (to use that wonderful Newspeak term politicians love to use when backtracking in a hurry) when I said the world changed back on September 11, 2001. What changed was our perception, our worldview, in what was the largest real time experiment in mass hypnosis and perception management ever attempted in order to justify what was already in the works. Problem…Reaction…Solution in all its ugly glory writ large, live and in living color on nearly every TeeVee in the world.
Just because we were witness to such monstrous depravity as to curdle mother’s milk in situ doesn’t mean we cannot sit back and admire the craftsmanship and chutzpah, the grand illusion both as it unfolded and afterward, as it roiled and regurgitated in the world’s gut like a half digested Thanksgiving feast with no bicarbonate in sight.
One must vigorously applaud the spectacle of being told in real time to ignore our lying eyes and ‘believe’ what we are being told, then over the following months and years to backtrack, misspeak, re-speak, doublespeak and un-speak as the initial lie is reformed, refined and rammed up our butts ever deeper, all while we beg for more while cowering from the ghosts of terrorists past, present and future.
It was and remains a masterful job, simply masterful, despite its glaring and painfully obvious miscues, screw-ups and blatant public perception manipulation. If nothing else we have learned it doesn’t matter how obvious the lie is if people don’t want to know the truth. “Tell me another lie Dad so I can believe it’s the truth. Everything is gonna be OK, right?”

So exactly what is this litmus test I’m talking about and how does it apply to you and me. Well, it depends upon who ‘you’ are. I have repeatedly stated that what is not said is often far more important then what is said. For those who hold the ‘public trust’, a title that extends far beyond public servants such as politicians and other ‘officials’, if they continue to uphold the overall ‘official’ 9/11 story even while questioning it in a roundabout manner, it is in my opinion the litmus test.
Worse I have grown weary of the disingenuous argument put forth by some that to speak frankly in public about 9/11 will destroy their credibility and thus their effectiveness as they battle the Empire from within. If one does not speak out against the Empire, yet one derives power from the Empire, ‘one’ is little more than a lackey and controlled opposition to/of/for the Empire. One ‘fact’ is becoming crystal clear as we progress deeper and deeper into this insanity. The Empire serves The Empire and only those who serve The Empire. Period!
At some point down the road to total corruption all energy expended by The Empire, and those who suckle from The Empire, is directed towards sustaining and defending The Empire. From that point on one is either serving that purpose (and lackeys, useful idiots and controlled opposition most certainly do) or one is expelled by The Empire from the (inner) circle of The Empire. Thus any chance one might have had to ‘change’ The Empire is lost………because there was never a ‘chance’ to change it from within to begin with.
I am not calling out anyone in particular because doing so would serve no purpose other than to start a shouting match and further the ‘divide and conquer’ technique those in power use to control and subvert those who are not in power and might otherwise have a voice. I have no doubt many who profess to be battling The Empire from within truly believe they are doing so. That said ultimately it does not change the fact that at best, in the eyes of The Empire, they are useful idiots regardless of whether they know or care they are.
But the second part of the 9/11 Litmus Test applies to everyone else who believes whatever they want to ‘believe’ regarding 9/11. I don’t care which side of the fence we are on, either pro or anti official story or anywhere in between, because it really doesn’t matter. If our view is fixed and unmoving, or worse, confined to a small narrow space where we can maintain the illusion of intellectual flexibility, we too are useful idiots and pawns of The Empire. Notice I say ‘we’ because I am not immune to this infection.
The Empire cares not what we think so long as we are safely corralled within thought boxes and mind memes. Just as long as we hope/expect/pray change is coming, even if that change is believed to spring from collapse brought about by corruption, fiat debasement, loss of dollar reserve status, foreign overextension of empire, foreign or domestic war, whatever the case may be, we for the most part will remain in place feeding the beast……even while we make plans and prepare for “The End of Empire”.
This holds true even for those who choose to believe little to no change is coming, essentially another of the ‘official’ stories we can all believe in. If I can convince myself things will work out, that all we need to right the ship of state is a different President, Congressional critter or some new laws forcing ‘them’ to stop messing things up (read that as change without…well, you know…’change’) then once again I render myself impotent and from The Empire’s perspective safely on the sidelines biding my time while still participating in the Ponzi and feeding the machine.
What 9/11 did, quite effectively I might add, is violently and dramatically change and focus the world’s perspective in general and the average American citizen’s in particular. A ‘new’ boogeyman was created in order for attention to be directed towards a specific area, which just so happens to draw attention away from another. Thirteen years later the intended consequences are still being implemented. As long as we remain mesmerized by the symptoms of the disease we remain effectively disabled from dealing with the root cause of our illness. Mission Accomplished!
It is time to wake up and head deeper down the rabbit hole. Contrary to popular belief ‘our’ collective problems will not be solved unless and until our inner dysfunction and insanity are confronted and recognized. We are our own worst enemy; a quaint saying everyone thinks applies to others and not to ourselves. As long as ‘We the People” continue to believe this fallacy the ancient divide and conquer techniques will reign supreme.
The 9/11 Litmus Test is not about what we know or don’t know, but how we deal with our knowledge and ignorance as well as ourselves while doing so. Once we begin to lift the veil of ignorance and ideology we are like sharks; either we keep moving forward or we die. There is no more treading water for that is reserved for those left behind.

@skateboarder 0312 - tell me, brother, you meant that comment for me. If not, oh well. I like your "image" (avatar), name, and contributions too.
GW,
You have beating away at this subject for years while I mostly lurk around in the corners and dark alleyways picking off the easy stuff to dissect. Because of your tireless efforts you shoulder the brunt of the slings and arrows.
Bravo to you and keep up the good work.
- "Investigators on those TV crime shows, the CSI people, always try to understand who benefits by the bloody crime. If you understand that many people benefitted by 9-11, by the WTC destruction, then you are more than halfway to solving the crime. Not just who dunnit, but how dunnit and why dunnit.

- "The benefits of the plan were manifold. Everyone involved profited. The political zealots at the Pentagon got there holy war, or wars, that would benefit Israel while weakening the entire ME. The corporate--connected people got billions in new contracts. The military people got new toys."
Confessions Of A 911 Hitman -
The Woman At The Edge Of The AbyssI remember that photo from many years ago. It is quite obvious there was no fire in that section of the building, thus the official thesis that a towering inferno brought the buildings down was clearly bullshit.
I realized then that facts were immaterial to supporting the lie since there was a overwhelming preponderance of facts disputing the lie. So why does the lie not only remain but flourish?
In my opinion when we understand that question we will finally make inroads into bringing down the Big Lie.
"It is quite obvious there was no fire in that section of the building, thus the official thesis that a towering inferno brought the buildings down was clearly bullshit."
Did it ever occur to you to look at the downwind side of the building? That photo is the upwind part, exactly where air was entering the building. The downwind views show a raging inferno.
"I remember that photo from many years ago. It is quite obvious there was no fire in that section of the building, thus the official thesis that a towering inferno brought the buildings down was clearly bullshit."
The fires in the Towers were completely out of control. The fires were the cause of the collapse of both Towers.
Columns were bowed in along the east wall of Two World Trade, about the 81st floor. It was just above there that the collapse occurred. There definitely was fire in that section of the building.
In One World Trade, the top 15 floors collapsed onto the rest of the building. There was definitely fire in that section of the building.
Comedy
Certainly there was a big fire, but a very short lived one that burned out quickly. Very quickly. Yes, the idea that a plume of kerosene brought those towers down into dust is complete garbage.
South face of the North Tower just prior to collapse:

Detail of south face distortion just prior to collapse:

You obviously haven't looked for video of the downwind side of the Towers, and are content to regurgitate what others have told you. Those fires were ripping.
If it was so hot on the downwind side, hot enough to melt steel, and so cool on the other side, how is it possible the towers fell STRAIGHT DOWN SYMMETRICALLY into their own footprint?
Why didn't the towers fall over if one side still had no fire but the other was consumed by "fires were ripping"?
How much do you get paid for being an accessory to mass murder?
"...how is it possible the towers fell STRAIGHT DOWN SYMMETRICALLY into their own footprint?"
"Why didn't the towers fall over if one side..."
Both tops of the Towers fell over to one side at initiation; hardly "symmetric". Study of the standing remains likewise reveal collapse was not symmetric. For example, the North Tower top fell to the south, where the most intense fire was located, and left several stories of perimeter wall standing on the opposite, north side of the building. Video of the south face of the North Tower moments before collapse indeed show raging fire and deformation of the south perimeter wall in the fire zone.
"Certainly there was a big fire, but a very short lived one that burned out quickly. Very quickly. Yes, the idea that a plume of kerosene brought those towers down into dust is complete garbage. "
Comedy.
Plume of kerosine is a good laugh line.
An out of conbtrol fire in both Towers brought down the buildings.
Once weakened, the steel would not regain its strength, as the fire moved on to other areas.
very sad image of 911
she was surviving...
until they blew up the tower...
sadness..
The woman at the edge of the abyss is Rachel Corrie. She is the ghost of Joan of Arc and she is every witch falsely accused, sentenced, and burned at Salem. The woman at the abyss is every victim of a great crime, a great cover-up, and a great lie, perpetrated by the state for the benefit of the state. She is your daughter, your friend, your sister. Do not forget her.
why does the page say she died in 03?
The second that I saw those planes hit the towers, I knew that this was an attack on our civil liberties and nothing less. I knew exactly what the gubmint response would be. The reason that the MSM kept running that footage of carnage was to pound into the sheeples minds that their country was under attack and that war would be the outcome. The day that Incurious George was selected as president, I told my dad that we would be involved in a war(s) anytime now. TPTB just had to pick the "right" way to do it, so the sheeple would aqcuiesce. Well it worked. But not on me! Don't forget kids, TPTB are robnume!
Another nuanced article from Cognitive Dissonance, which was worthwhile reading. We will NEVER be able to discover the EXACT FACTS about what happened on 9/11/2001 because there were never allowed to be done proper criminal investigations. Instead, the crime scenes were cleaned up as fast as possible, and proper investigations were delayed and prevented as long as possible, so that most of the evidence that should have been kept, and then carefully examined, was instead destroyed or disregarded.
IT IS EASY TO GET WAY WITH A CRIME WHEN THOSE WHO COMMIT THAT CRIME CAN CONTROL THE INVESTIGATION. However, there still are facts about who had the public power to make sure that no proper forensic investigations were ever allowed to be done, but rather the relevant evidence was deliberately destroyed or suppressed as much as possible. Of course, that was the central feature of the political problem!
As above, so below. &
As within, so without!
We are at the turning points where the previous ages of expediency are tipping over into the ages of consequences:
http://www.economic-undertow.com/2014/09/03/the-fifth-horseman/
The Fifth Horseman
"... The non-linear shift from expedients to consequences emerges as a perilous Fifth Horseman: every habit we have learned during the Age of Expedients is now set to work with deadly effect against us; the time to learn new habits simply does not exist. ..."
9/11 was the most spectacular symbol, so far, of the ways that natural selection drove systems of artificial selection to become most successfully based on deceits and frauds. My suggestions are that "we" should understand natural selection better, in order to be able to understand the expedient sets of solutions which have become our current systems of artificial selection. Providing better resolutions of the chronic political problems inherent in the nature of life, which better address how and why the current sets of expedient solutions became based on the maximum possible deceits and frauds, is increasingly imperative!
As time passed, it became more and more obvious that 9/11 was the most spectacular symbol, that was being employed to advance an agenda, and therefore, I belatedly started to investigate the available information more deeply, during which time I kept a record of my discoveries and conclusions in this thread 9/11 ...
As most of the people who comment on Zero Hedge appear to already know, the events on 9/11/2001 were an inside job, false flag attack, (probably done by Zionists, in order to blame on Muslims).
9/11 was the most spectacular, so far, example of wars based on deceits which back up the debt slavery systems. Since the debt slavery has generated numbers which have become debt insanities, WE ARE STUCK IN A SYSTEM OF THE PUBLIC "MONEY" SUPPLY MADE OUT OF NOTHING AS DEBTS, PRIMARILY BY PRIVATE BANKS. 9/11 was an inside job, and the financial crises in 2008 were an inside job, because all those kinds of events track back to the pyramidion people at the top of the social pyramid systems, etc. ...
To understand those social facts better requires going deeper and deeper into the ways that human civilizations operate as general energy systems, that take us through and through the looking glasses of the Bizarro Mirror World, where everything appears proportionately backwards and distorted. The "war on terror" was like the "war on drugs." Both were based on Huge Lies, and both were deliberately designed to become self-fulfilling prophesies that drove vicious spirals.
THERE WERE THOUSANDS OF YEARS OF HISTORY BEHIND MAKING AND MAINTAINING THE ESTABLISHED SOCIAL PYRAMID SYSTEMS, WHICH ARE NOW MOSTLY BASED ON LEGALIZED LIES, BACKED BY LEGALIZED VIOLENCE, WHICH SYSTEMS WERE BUILT BY THE PYRAMIDION PEOPLE, (*WHO HAVE NOW LOST CONTROL OVER THOSE SYSTEMS, BECAUSE NOBODY CAN CONTROL THOSE RUNAWAY SYSTEMS OF LIES BACKED BY VIOLENCE ANYMORE!)
We should go through a series of intellectual scientific revolutions to understand how and why the chronic political problems inherent in the nature of life ended up having expedient sets of solutions based on the maximum possible deceits and frauds. It is not good enough to point out the layers of those deceits and frauds, unless one finally addresses the chronic political problems which drove those expedient solutions to be developed through the social pyramid systems, whereby the pyramidion people became those who were the best at controlling civilization through lies backed by violence.
THE GREATEST THREAT TO THE HUMAN SPECIES
IS CONTROLLING CIVILIZATION WITH HUGE LIES!

"... 5. Government takeover of science and reason ... The thinking seems to be that if you control the science you control reality. ... many of us recognize the sabotaging of the science ... hopefully humanity can pull it together to force scientific accountability. The 9/11 truth movement has gained ground in the demand for scientific accountability and all of us should be paying attention to this battle ..."
"The greatest problem humanity now faces is from mainstream media. ... Mainstream media is unquestionably the greatest threat to the safety of humanity, freedom and the entire existence of a republic that protects the rights of the individual. With mainstream media now lying, deceiving, and manipulating the truth for the sake of government and political propaganda, now more than ever it is important for everyone to recognize that this is now the number one threat to humanity."

The official story of what happened on 9/11/2001 is based on ABSURD LIES, which deny basic common sense and elementary physics. How were those LIES possible to be promoted to become the basis of American foreign and domestic policies since then? The answer is that society developed in such a way that it was necessarily controlled by the people who were the best at being dishonest and backing that up with violence, which systems of social slavery, or enforced frauds, are NOW OUT OF CONTROL CRIMINAL INSANITIES.
WHATEVER THE REAL PROBLEMS THAT HUMAN BEINGS FACE, THOSE ARE ALL MADE MUCH WORSE BY THE CONTROL OF CIVILIZATION BY HUGE LIES. In that context, the biggest professional liars and immaculate hypocrites are the handful of enormous corporations that dominate about 90% of the information that the vast majority of people receive. That the events on 9/11/2001 are explained by an official story which gets away with deliberately ignoring common sense, elementary physics illustrates the awesome ways in which the world is being controlled by Huge Lies, backed up with Lots of Violence, which have been driven into vicious spirals of criminal insanities, headed towards psychotic breakdowns. What may be on the other side of those psychotic breakdowns is impossible to predict. However, I day dream that maybe there were will more radical truths that survive through that?
In my view, civilization is necessarily headed through hyperbolic Cognitive Dissonance towards psychotic breakdowns, while there is nothing that can be done now to prevent those severe social storms from blowing through. Personally, I have become resigned to the most probable expectation that I will end up one of the many other Zombie Sheeple who will end up being slaughtered during those events, when our civilization collapses into crazy chaos. I do not believe that there is any way to be prepared for that. I merely engage in the endeavour to better understand what I have already concluded is a terminally sick and insane society, that I happened to be born into.
We are all riding on the grand experiment of the development of human beings, who were able to internalize natural selection in the form of intelligence, so that we can model the world, with a model of ourselves within that model of the world. During that process we developed systems of artificial selection, which were driven by the basic facts that natural selection systems EXIST. However, the basic nature of general energy systems manifesting through human beings developed systems of artificial selection in which social success was based on the maximum possible deceits and frauds, by developing social pyramid systems whereby small groups who specialized in being dishonest and violent could control larger groups who were kept ignorant and afraid. 9/11 was a litmus test, as the most spectacular symbol, so far, of that overall process of the tragic trajectory of the human evolutionary experiment, wherein human intelligence ended up primarily being employed to become better at being dishonest and backing that up with violence.
The degree to which the biggest bullies' bullshit social stories dominates everything, including the controlled opposition groups, is almost total, because it goes all the way through from the basic philosophy of science to politics. I repeat what Cognitive Dissonance correctly stated in a recent article:
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-08-17/control-language-and-you-control-mind
Control the Language and You Control the Mind
"It is the effective manipulation of our belief systems that enslaves us to the present day insanity."
THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT IS CORRECT! However, most of my comments were to point out how much more deeply, through almost infinite tunnels of deceits, that problem goes. Obviously, the monetary systems, based on upon government enforced bankster frauds, is an extremely important way that people's belief systems are dominated by a language which drives runaway debt insanities. Indeed, the monetary system and national security are the two most significant state religions that control contemporary civilization. However, better resolutions to those problems require going past the levels of bogus "solutions" proposed by the controlled opposition groups, who continue stay too much within the old-fashioned frame of reference, and therefore, propose returning to their preferred impossible ideals as the source of "solutions."
IN MY VIEW, THE MOST PROFOUND PROBLEMS ARE DUE TO THE WAYS THAT THE BIGGEST BULLIES' BULLSHIT WORLD VIEW DOMINATED THE BASIC PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE, THE SAME AS IT DOMINATED ALL OTHER SOCIAL ENTERPRISES!
I do not believe that we have any other chances, but to have to continue to muddle through the madness of the dynamic equilibria of different systems of organized lies operating robberies. And, I repeat, personally I expect to probably end up one of the murdered millions when that happens. But nevertheless, I still believe that we are going to be forced to go through some drastic changes of state in that respect, and my irrational hope for some series of political miracles is that could be catalyzed better IF enough people understood better how and why that was happening. As the established systems automatically get more screwed up, and their degrees of cognitive dissonance are amplified by even more orders of magnitude, more people will be forced out of their comfort zone of habitual ways of thinking. When people are frustrated by their habits being impeded, then they will be forced to start thinking more. At that point, perhaps, more of them will start to question the language that they were using, that was controlling their minds?
In my view, the touchstone of physical truth in the 9/11 events was the sudden collapse of solid steel frame buildings, especially that of Building 7, which was well documented by several independent sources, and which forces one to conclude that MUST HAVE BEEN AN INSIDE JOB ... From that conclusion one then can follow the available public records regarding who had the public power to make sure that no proper criminal investigations were ever allowed to be done. After spending enough time connecting the dots of data together, it becomes more and more obvious that we are living inside of an Anglo-American (Zionist) Empire, which was able and willing to stage the 9/11 mass murders in order to advance their agenda.
Overall, one is driven to the conclusion that 9/11 was the most spectacular symbol, so far, of the social facts that our civilization is being controlled by a group of people who are collectively trillionaire mass murderers, advancing their overall agenda for globalized combined money/murder systems. Meanwhile, there is almost no publicly significant opposition to that project, for the reasons stated above in this article, that: "Again and again and again agents acting in the interest of the power elite and status quo infiltrated anything perceived to be a threat in order to sidetrack, dissolve or outright control any and all ‘subversive’ groups using polarizing techniques that are timeless in their effectiveness and efficiency."
Cognitive Dissonance's articles are excellent at their attempts to sift through the deeper and deeper levels of those deceits, which entangle all of our minds, because we use languages to think through, and those languages themselves have the biggest bullies' bullshit world view built into them. Indeed, I REPEAT, the most profound ways that 9/11 operates is through being able to require the majority of people to deliberately ignore common sense and elementary physics, regarding substances like steel, in those steel frame buildings that so suddenly collapsed. MOREOVER, THAT IS BUT THE TINIEST TIP OF THE ICEBERG OF WAYS IN WHICH THE ENTIRE PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE HAS BEEN PROFOUNDLY PERVERTED AND INVERTED, BY THE WAYS THAT THE BIGGEST BULLIES' BULLSHIT WORLD VIEW DOMINATED THE WAYS THAT WE THINK, AND THE LANGUAGE THAT WE USE TO THINK THROUGH.
Thanks CD - Enjoy your posts & remarks
Thank you.
Mrs. Cog was a big help with this one towards the end of the writing process. I found this piece difficult to write coherently while staying on point and Mrs. Cog helped me edit for clarity.
Cog, my question and comment was not directed at you. Just sayin.
I didn't think so, but thanks for clarifying.
28 pages.....
That are all black and segragated from the populace, which is rassiss.
I like your stuff CD, but that bit is bogus.
The sheer power of those collapses 200,000 tons of structural steel 4years of construction, flattened at freefall speed, turned to dust in 10 seconds?
You’d have to be very deluded not to see ‘GROUND ZERO’ for what it is, what they will call it 50 years from now when the NWO legitimize all their litmus tests.
“GROUND ZERO” (pre 9/11 dictionary) was and is GROUND ZERO; work out that Manhattan Project...
Maybe you missed the word 'exactly'. I repeated it twice. Let's put my sentence back in context.
"Number one, I have no idea exactly what happened on that brilliantly blue second Tuesday in September, let alone who and what was behind the event. And anyone who says they do is either blinded by their ideology, full of self deluded bullshit, or the mastermind of the entire operation. Please note I said EXACTLY. I know a lot about 9/11 and that is the problem. What I think I know is far greater than what I actually ‘know’. With that in mind I try to remind myself I have just enough information to make me dangerous to myself and no one else."
My point was to show that many speak with absolute conviction about what happened that day when they really don't know EXACTLY what happened. It's OK that we don't know exactly what happened and it is also OK to admit this to be the case.
"We" are so worried about our credibility that we consistently overstep the boundary of what we do know and what we don't know. Doing so simply arms those who wish to discredit and disrupt. Stop overstating the case. Present what we know and let it speak for itself. "We" will never convince those who will never look beyond their nose, so why are we trying. Plenty of half awake souls out there to help along without trying to shake awake the dead and comatose.
A question: Since when does Jet-A fuel and office furniture fires turn granite bedrock into molten rock and concrete into liquid?
A comment: It's amazing and a "tell" as to who act as "gatekeepers" shutting down information (truth) on different blogs. I'm gonna out someone when the time is right.
;)
"A question: Since when does Jet-A fuel and office furniture fires turn granite bedrock into molten rock and concrete into liquid?"
Where are the pictures of molten rock and liquid concrete?
I shouldnt even waste my time with your obvious State Department Trolling....but whatever.....Die cunt....

You really should explain that Jet Fuel is simply kerosene with some additives to prevent congealing at the -50 F temps found at 35k+ feet. When people hear "Jet Fuel" they think high octane explosive fuel along the lines of racing fuel. But to explain that it is 'just' kerosene opens eyes.
Nearly everyone has used kerosene at one point in their lives. My kerosene heater doesn't melt every time I fire it up, plus it burns hotter and without smoke. What's up with that?

Who said that kerosine melted steel? No one has presented any photographs of liquid molten steel at the World Trade site. The fires did weaken the steel, however, resulting in a catastrophic failure of the structures. The main source of heat for the fires were the combustibles in the office spaces. Those materials produced floor to ceiling flames pouring out the windows. Hot flames.

I said liquid molten steel. Lots of pictures, but none of liquid steel at the World Trade site.
There is not one photo of liquid molten steel at WTC on that page; not one. If you claim the molten material pouring out of one location in the south tower is molten steel, then you must explain why it turns silver/grey in color on the way down.

Americans are so scientifically dumbed down, they don't know what a litmus test is. Seriously, you'll have to simplify and shorten your writing to reach a wider audience.

" Intelligence" is a commodity in such short supply.. it should be welcomed and embraced, not pushed away further.
If you want to go live in the movie 'Idiocracy', fine, Feel Free. But that's anathema to some of us.
There is enough "lowest-common denominator" / "low-hanging-fruit" out there, as it is. It certainly doesn't need to be helped along.
I'm trying to not get started on a long-winded diatribe on the dumbing-down of our species -- I'd be typing for hours. I'll just say that this article [thank you, CD!] was well-written and needed, and would be an intellectual injustice if it was a single sentence shorter.
If it's "too long" for someone to read, then it is not for that person. The "Short-Attention-Span-Theatre" types already have high-level reading materials, made just for them ... carefully packaged inside every piece of Bazooka gum.
A question: Since when does Jet-A fuel and office furniture fires turn granite bedrock into molten rock and concrete into liquid?
An Answer: Since 9/11/2001. Which begs the question, where is the peer reviewed scientific study to expalin such an anomaly? Someone must have figured it out and published it at some point. A devience of all known science and mathematics since the history of mankind, if not the Universe is a pretty huge finding. I for one cant wait to read it and shed some light on the subject as to enlighten us poor, feeble minded masses. Hopefully massa will tell us soon!
I we could follow the money behind some of the trolls on this thread, and similar threads in the past, I bet you could draw some very interesting conclusions. Come on now, who bought those puts? Follow the money.
it's either all true or all bullshit, at first i believed one, then the other.
Worded differently, you are saying Everything IS either 100% white .. or 100% black? Are you really believing your own words?
I would like to introduce a couple of words/concepts to you -- "spectrum" .... and "degree".
Think.. for yourself. It is the single greatest thing you can and will ever do.
CD, I guarantee that the points of your articles would reach more people if you figured out how to scale down the volume of words.
Petty criticism? No...
The efficiency of the message is not only the way of the world now, it is also imperative if things are to be salvaged, or even simply nudged towards a better trajectory.
"but how we deal with our knowledge and ignorance as well as ourselves while doing so."
So there...
I am quite certain you are correct in your assessment. However I am not trying to reach 'more' people, only those people who wish to dig down past the first and second layers and see what's been buried underneath for several generations. I find it impossible to do so in eight paragraphs or less and I no longer even try.
What I find most interesting is you make the same comment under each of my articles.....yet you seem to keep coming back for more. There must be something here of value for you to repeatedly return. Why not talk about that?
Very true, reading a book, making up your mind independently is against the tide of the current power point generation. This power point style has sadly evolved from the MBA (Master Bullshit Administration) which is so cultivated by Wall Street to sell their stuff to the institutional muppet scene. Thanks for all these words and thoughts.
"However I am not trying to reach 'more' people..."
"...and I no longer even try."
So then it becomes a catharsis of sorts, doesn't it.
"Why not talk about that?"
I did, and you said
"I am quite certain you are correct in your assessment."
Carry on, CD, and I do wish you well.
But we are getting nowhere; now it feels petty.
My most clear memory from the day the towers came down was the impression that the video of the planes hitting the towers felt like Hollywood special effects. For several years, I then convinced myself that that impression was because I couldn't accept the reality and so I put it in "fiction" terms.
It was several years later (2007) that I had the opportunity for entirely different reasons to see undoctored and unedited video of a controlled demolition of a building in Florida (video taken by my parents, in fact). I then watched the video of the collapse of the towers again. That was when the lightbulb went off. I recommend people look for the video that shows the towers collapsing taken by a couple in Brooklyn (I think?) with their camcorder out the window of their apartment. What I like about that video is that there is none of the usual propaganda effects in it. There is no "scary music!!!" or the subtitles or the other bullshit production. It is just a almost silent video of the events of the morning, with occasional shocked comments by the couple as they were filming. When you strip away all the BS effects, it's easier to acknowledge the simplicity of what you are seeing. The buildings came down in a completely controlled fashion. There is no way in the universe that that happens after a chaotic event. Entropy. Discover what that word means, and the official story dissolves into dust.
Who did it? I have no idea. Like CD says, all I know is that the official story is physically impossible, and I don't need to be told that. I know it because I have played "crash the building block" games ever since I was two years old. I know what chaotic collapse looks like. We all do. We just have to trust our innate instincts, and realize that if we are being given a choice between the obvious and subtle manufacture, the obvious is the choice every time. The official story is complex. The raw video is not complex. It's remarkably simple. Building 7 is even simpler.
In general, why do people have so much trouble with stories like this? Fear. It's all about fear. And what we fear is death. When people feel existential fear of death, they are prone to ignore common sense in the desperate quest for security. A commenter above pointed out that zen has comments on this subject. I agree. As a practitioner for more than 20 years, zen has helped me to put life and death in perspective. I have no desire to die, but I also don't particularly fear it anymore. As such, when stories such as 9-11 play on people's primal fears, I am less prone (still vulnerable but less so) to accepting a violent "self-defense" response to a violent act in the first place.
Long story short: as long as humans are convinced that the answer to a man shooting at them with a gun is to find another man to shoot back at the first man with a bigger gun, the merry-go-round will continue. The phrase "to fight for peace" is and always tautologically will be a self-defeating waste of thought. This internal contradiction in our wiring is the most likely candidate for how our species will exit the planet. Too many of us seem incapable of recognizing that violence can never and will never bring peace. Never.
"When you strip away all the BS effects, it's easier to acknowledge the simplicity of what you are seeing. The buildings came down in a completely controlled fashion.
The camera originals have no effects and it is obvious to me that the Towers simply collapsed. There was nothing controlled about the collapse of the Towers. Debris fell from one floor to the next, stripping it from its flanges. The exterior column sections were then free to fall away.
Dualistic perception itself is at the root of this fear. Once addressed, everything else can fall in place. To my knowledge, only gnostic, zen, and taoist thought can remedy. I've focused most my efforts in the past years with friends and family on NOT talking logic, but assisting them in 'adjusting' their perspective.
It's been quite effective.
Indeed, the ultimate distraction is vibrations, time and the common 'spiritual path'. True spirit is far removed from energy and matter, existence and non-existence.

Its sad how many people never played with blocks as kids, let alone studies basics of physics, structural integrity and gravity. 21st Century is going to be the next "Dark Age" if we arent careful, Im afraid it may be too late.
