Thread Name: BS: Cognitive Dissonance and Govt Lies
Subject: RE: BS: Cognitive Dissonance and Govt Lies
Just make people aware of it, like I have. Other bulletin boards, other forums. I also e-mail a lot to editorial writers. It's amazing how uninformed a lot of those folks are, and bits like this can spark their interest, and they can reach millions at a time.
I've tried to focus on Sept 11 as the defining event in our modern history. It set into motion the final push to a nightmarish tyrannical world govt. But all that is SO much to absorb, I began wondering WHY it was too much to absorb and found this on cognitive dissonance. What a tool...the inability of the human mind to accept new information that threatens your worldview. So I'll spread the opening post around various places and meet with MUCH less hostility than I normally do, I'm sure. If you read the piece at the link, it makes perfect sense. To anyone, I would think. And that creates common ground from which we can start looking for solutions. But Sept 11 is still the moment when the globalists tore their pants. We just need to insist on an investigation, and the truth will come out. First, though, I guess people need to be led through a series of steps, and asked a few questions, so they can arrive at their own answers (Socratic method?). The MAGNITUDE of the Pentagon's crime on 9-11 is incomprehensible to normal, decent people, so the way I'll work to show people the truth behind the action is to first show them why their minds have rejected the obvious in the past. Make sense?
And I heard something cool yesterday about 9-11. GWBush was on the phone repeatedly to the FAA in the hour before the hijackings. Can't find the story yet, but it's out there somewhere if someone blew the whistle. What will de-rail the move to tyrannical govt in the US is that there are still too many good people in govt positions where they can do damage to the Nazis. Someone (if this story about the FAA is true), has access to Bush's phone records that day, and if he was on the horn to the FAA (out of hundreds of govts agencies) several times...that's just one more piece of damning evidence. And when people are ready to accept the possibility of Pentagon and White House terrorism...it'll be a good day.
Anyway, I think this cognitive dissonance thing explains a lot. Most of us have been brought up with values that are being abused enormously in plain sight...Hitler's big lie all over again. And this is the psychological mechanism by which the liars get away with it. Our minds shut down when faced with a horrible alternative.
