Everything about 9/11 was prepackaged bullshit, including that infamous set of words that were repeated ad nauseam from all corners of the government and the MSM: Pearl Harbor, Homeland, Ground Zero, etc. From Edward Curtin at lewrockwell.com:
“An example that shows the radical devaluation of thought is the transformation of words in propaganda; there, language, the instrument of the mind, become ‘pure sound,’ a symbol directly evoking feelings and reflexes.”
– Jacques Ellul, Propaganda
“A leader or an interest that can make itself master of current symbols is the master of the current situation.”
Walter Lippman, Public Opinion
Tuesday, September 11, 2001, was a non-teaching day for me. I was home in Massachusetts when the phone rang at 9 A.M. It was my daughter who lived and worked in New York City and was on a week’s vacation with her future husband. “Turn on the TV,” she said. “Why?” I asked. “Haven’t you heard? A plane hit the World Trade Tower.”
I turned the TV on and watched a plane crash into the Tower. I said, “They just showed a replay.” She quickly corrected me, “No, that’s another plane.” And we talked as we watched in horror, learning that it was the South Tower this time.
Sitting next to my daughter was my future son-in-law; he had not had a day off from work in a year. He had finally taken a week’s vacation so they could go to Cape Cod. He worked on the 100th floor of the South Tower. By chance, he had escaped the death that claimed 176 of his co-workers. My father’s good friend, retired from a NYC job and living in Pennsylvania, had a one-day-a-month consultancy job at the Twin Tower. Tuesday the 11th was his day to die in the North Tower.
That was my introduction to the attacks. Twenty-four years have disappeared behind us, yet it seems like yesterday. And yet again, it seems like long, long ago. But long ago is today when the repercussions of what happened then “lie” behind today’s terrible events, as they do because Bush, Jr.’s Global War on Terror continues on its mad and doleful way under three more presidents and different linguistic mind control narratives.
Ground zero denotes nuclear detonation.
Getting away with 9-11 filled them with arrogance and hubris to pull off the COV-LARP?
Jo Jo Brandon pushed the Patriot Act across the finish line as it was pulled out of a drawer somewhere.
