Truth and Consequences: A Watershed Moment for Rebuilding a Movement (archive)

(archived from February 16, 2011)

by Scott Creighton

The website “9/11 Blogger” has been exposed as a controlled opposition site years ago by myself and other well-meaning Truth advocates.  Heavily controlled actually. 

Typically I wouldn’t waste my time or yours writing about the goings on over there but recently it has come to my attention that Blogger could  become a kind of microcosm for the Truth movement which allows us to better understand (1) the well-financed concerted effort which has been leveled against our little movement by those who mean to end speculation and reasoned inquiry about 9/11 once and for all and (2) the resilience of those of us who still demand to know the truth and still dare to speak it. 

What has happened has become a sort of watershed moment for the Truth movement. The contractors have tipped their hand and we have to decide what we are going to do about it. Are we going to reclaim what was stolen from us or are we going to fold?

In order to better illustrate the overall objective of the current campaign to demolish the Truth movement, I’m sorry, but I have to delve into a little of the obvious problems with the official story of 9/11. At least, these used to be considered obvious problems, before a certain element of the Truth movement started chipping away at them piece by piece.

Sunstein Agents Walk Among Us

(archived from May 18, 2010)

I recently watched a video with Bob Bowman from a Public Access show in Boston I think. Everything was going great, till the host started going on and on about… “nanothermite”.  The host said ”Nanothermite is the ONLY way those buildings could have been brought down…”  

What a laugh the embedded Sunstein agents of the Truth movement must have had at that one. 

Unfortunately, this is a common misunderstanding held by many in our movement.  It illustrates just how successful the cognitive infiltration efforts of the 9/11 Truth movement have been.

“We can readily imagine a series of possible responses. (1) Government might ban conspiracy theorizing. (2) Government might impose some kind of tax, financial or otherwise, on those who disseminate such theories.”

 ”We suggest a distinctive tactic for breaking up the hard core of extremists who supply conspiracy theories: cognitive infiltration of extremist groups, whereby government agents or their allies (acting either virtually or in real space, and either openly or anonymously) will undermine the crippled epistemology of believers (1)by planting doubts about the theories and stylized facts that circulate within such groups, thereby (2) introducing  beneficial cognitive diversity.”

… government agents “might enter chat rooms, online social networks, or even real-space groups and attempt to undermine percolating conspiracy theories by raising doubts about their factual premises, causal logic or implications for political action.”  Cass Sunstein, President Obama’s regulatory czar

“Day by day and almost minute by minute the past was brought up to date. In this way every prediction made by the Party could be shown by documentary evidence to have been correct; nor was any item of news, or any expression of opinion, which conflicted with the needs of the moment, ever allowed to remain on record. All history was a palimpsest, scraped clean and reinscribed exactly as often as was necessary.”
