The Demolition of Truth-Psychologists Examine 9\11 Page #2

and or some other religion,

and that was their

primary identity, that was

their ultimate concern.

But it shifted in

the 15th century

to nationalism, and nationalism

in various countries

became the new religion.

This is certainly true

in the United States

where Americanism

trumps Christianity

for many Christians.

I gave a lecture a

few years ago called

9/11 and Nationalist Faith.

And in that I argued that

even though people who are

Christians or Jews and

then if they're Christians

some particular type

of Christianity like

the Presbyterian church

or Methodist church

or the Catholic church

that they actually tend to

subordinate that to their

concern for America,

for their devotion to America.

I was interviewed by

one of the well-known

talk show hosts on television

and they came to the home

and interviewed me and

it was going very well

from my point of view

but the talk show host

got very upset and

finally just blurted out,

"That's blasphemy!"

- It is wrong, blasphemous

and sinful for you to suggest,

imply, or help other people

come to the conclusion

that the US government killed

3,000 of its own citizens

because--

- And blasphemy is

a religious issue.

He was treating Bush and

Cheney as if they were

religious figures, as

if, frankly, they were

members of the Holy Trinity.

So that was another

great revelation to me

that for many people their

devotion to the country

or even the political

representative of the country

are more important and of

religious importance than

claims about what

really happened on 9/11.

So I think people need to think

seriously through their own

religious commitment, whether

they're Christians or Jews

or Muslims or Hindus

or Buddhists, think

about what it is

they are truly most

ultimately concerned about

and if that is God,

then they would say

truth is the most

important thing.

So I need to be open

to the possible truth

of the 9/11 truth movement,

even if that is very

threatening to me

and to my commitment

to my nation.

- A lens through which to

understand the resistance

that we all have against

hearing information

that contradicts our

worldview, our information

about the official story

of 9/11 is what social

psychologists call

cognitive dissonance.

For example, with 9/11

we have one cognition

which is the official

story of 9/11,

what our government

told us, what our media

repeated to us over and

over, that 19 Muslims

attacked us.

On the other hand we have

what scientists, researchers,

architects, engineers are

now beginning to tell us

which is that there

is evidence that shows

that the official

story cannot be true,

that 9/11 was most likely
