9/11 Truth in 2014: Is a Breakthrough Possible?

Global Research, March 24, 2014

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” -Joseph Goebbels
“In fact, visual stimuli, transduced by the rods and cones in the eyes, and sent by electro-chemical signals to the central nerous system via the optic nerves does not go directly to the occipetal cortex which is the primary region responsible for processing information. Instead, it first goes to the lateral geniculate nucleus of the Thalamus, another region of the brain that is a part of the lymbic system and important to emotional arousal.
To put this in simpler terms, this means that you can experience an emotional reaction to something before you are consciously aware that you have even seen it.”

-Laurie Manwell, University of Guelph (emphasis added)

This website, among others have articulated the major problems with the official explanation of 9/11 since the day after they happened.
These attacks have directly led to an agenda of increased military spending, surveillance, two wars of aggression (Afghanistan and Iraq) and a period of curtailed civil liberties in the name of protection from the terrorists.
Amply documented, there are major problems with this narrative. The following humourous video encapsulates most of these anomalies.
A more detailed analysis is available through Global Research’s 9/11 Reader.
There has been a clear resistance to abandoning this core narrative. Take for example the refusal of Canadian Member of Parliament Paul Dewar and his on-going refusal to table in the House of Commons on behalf of his constituents a petition calling for a Canadian parliamentary review of the omissions and inconsistencies in the 9/11 Commission report and of available forensic evidence. Mr. Dewar says he doesn’t agree with the petition, not considered an acceptable rationale for not tabling a petition to Parliament. More background can be found on this webpage:

There is more to this kind of resistance than a lack of facts. Laurie Manwell is a Ph.D candidate at the University of Guelph and has published articles on psychological resistance to embracing alternative explanations of 9/11 and other so-called State Crimes Against Democracy. Her article, In Denial of Democracy: Social Psychological Implications for Public Discourse on State Crimes Against Democracy Post-9/11 appeared in the February 2010 edition of American Behavioural Scientist. Her thesis was the basis of her outstanding presentation at the Toronto Hearings on 9/11. An excerpt of this presentation airs in the first half hour of this week’s Global Research News Hour, courtesy of Press For Truth.
Architect and high profile 9/11 speaker Richard Gage AIA joins us in the second half hour. He talks with guest interviewer Jon Wilson about his tour across Canada, and his view about the prospects of 9/11 making a powerful political breakthrough in this country.
Richard Gage will be visiting the following cities this spring. Please visit rethink911.ca for more details and updates.
