Part 5: Denial and Cognitive Dissonance
© by Frances T. Shure, 2014
Editor's Note: Frances Shure, M.A., L.P.C., has performed an in-depth analysis addressing a key issue of our time: “Why Do Good People Become Silent—or Worse—About 9/11?” The resulting essay, to be presented here as a series, is comprised of a synthesis of reports on academic research as well as clinical observations.
In answering the question in the title of this essay, last month’s segment, Part 4, addressed the term “doublethink,” coined by George Orwell. Doublethink is not part of Western psychology’s lexicon, but it is a defensive strategy, nonetheless, by which we hold two conflicting beliefs in our minds at the same time, and use one or the other, depending on the situation–rather like a chameleon switches colors–in order to remain in conformity with the official position..
We continue Ms. Shure’s analysis in Part 5 with the defensive mechanisms of denial and cognitive dissonance.
“I admit that I seriously resist anyone messing with my worldview,” said a friend as she hurried out of the room we both occupied.

Andy Steele of 9/11 Free Fall RadioAndy Steele’s work as a community organizer may not have taken the same path as President Obama’s, but it has provided him with some interesting experiences. After spending a summer as a guest English teacher at a Chinese university, Andy returned to the US and received a degree in Creative Writing. One week after his return, 9/11 happened. A friend in China forwarded him an email suggesting that people in our own government were involved and, at the time, he dismissed the idea.
While teaching English in Uzbekistan as a Peace Corps volunteer in 2004-05, Andy organized his 1st-5th grade students to pick up trash in their neighborhood. This upset government officials because it made those in charge of picking up the trash look bad. This seemingly minor incident, plus the uprising that occurred in Uzbekistan while he was there, changed his world view (Massacre in Uzbekistan is a film that documents the killing of almost 1,000 people on the orders of dictator Islam Karimov, a friend of U.S. leaders at the time).

The “High-Rise Safety Initiative” Targets a New Investigation in 2015
Next fall will mark the 13th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, and it could be an important one for New Yorkers and supporters of 9/11 Truth. A campaign called the “High-Rise Safety Initiative” aims to place a measure on the ballot that would require the city’s Department of Buildings to launch a new investigation into the destruction of Building 7.
If the initiative is successful, the first officially sanctioned investigation to deliver a truthful account of what really happened on 9/11 could soon become imminent. But the investigation will only go forward if the campaign’s sponsors can bring in enough donations to fund the petition drive and gather 110,000 signatures. The NYC Coalition for Accountability Now (NYC CAN) must raise $250,000 by June 1st. As of March 28, they had raised $125,000.

Code Pink Drone Summit 2013Even after 12 years, 9/11 is still used as a justification for US drone strikes. The ongoing use of 9/11 to justify all manner of US government policies makes the input of AE911Truth experts imperative to any discussion of these policies. To that end, AE911Truth was represented with a table at the 2013 CodePink Global Drone Summit, held at the Georgetown University School of Law auditorium in Washington DC. There were over 400 attendees, plus thousands watching the live stream and C-SPAN coverage, and over 150 press clips, including one on NBC news.
The summit was organized by CodePink.Org's progressive think-tank Institute for Policy Studies, The Nation Magazine, and National Lawyers Guild (Georgetown Chapter). It brought together drone survivors and families of victims from Pakistan and Yemen, human rights advocates, lawyers, authors, social media experts, technology experts, artists and musicians, and grassroots activists. More information is at this article.

A Special Update from Canada
MP Megan Leslie, member of Canadian Parliament and the Deputy Leader of the New Democratic Party, came under attack for her community events web page, which included a mention of AE911Truth and Richard Gage, specifically his lecture in HalifaxSince the advent of the first ReThink911 campaign last fall, there has been a sea change in the media’s response to skepticism about the official account of 9/11.
This is nowhere more apparent than in the generally neutral character of mainstream media coverage of Richard Gage's Canadian tour. Here’s a recap of the coverage to date:
CBC in Prince George interviewed event coordinator Bev Collins, followed by Victoria's leading radio station, CFAX1070, hosting local engineer Werner Simbeck and Gage tour organizer David Long for 25 minutes.
The Vancouver event was very well covered in two issues of the popular alternative monthly Common Ground, and in Canada's largest urban weekly, the Georgia Straight.
In Winnipeg CKUW 95.9 FM discussed a breakthrough in 9/11 evidence in 2014, and Toronto`s largest newspaper, the Toronto Star, covered the ReThink911 video ads in the Toronto subway showing the collapse of WTC7 – reporting the group's belief in controlled demolition as the cause.

“Gray Lady of 43rd St.” Found Wanting
By now, as most AE911Truth supporters are aware, the ReThink911 campaign ran a billboard ad directly across the street from the NY Times Building for two months. It asked the self-proclaimed “Paper of Record,” ‘Where is your story on the collapse of Building 7?’ The massive sign, which also points out that over 2,000 architects and engineers cite evidence of the controlled demolition of Building 7, was called to the attention of New York Times reporters and employees, and (an estimated) 100,000+ passersby, as memorialized in our incisive two-minute video starring one of our top AE911Truth Action Group leaders – Austin Farwell.
Farwell has been working with AE911Truth as a volunteer since he moved to New York in 2012. He was one of the many activists hitting the street in New York City, and a key part of the events surrounding the NY Times Billboard Campaign. “It was a great experience filming that day,” Farwell said. “I was so pumped to see people really getting into conversations with staff from the NY Times and articulately stating our case. The key is outreach, exposure and creativity. There are so many smart, encouraging people involved with this grass roots group. We have centralized our arguments and have become a concerted voice.”

Arguably, no question surrounding 9/11 arouses more intense interest than this one. An investigation of 9/11 will certainly not be complete until we know who perpetrated the crimes and until they are brought to justice.
Crime scene investigators know that,
“Physical evidence cannot be wrong; it cannot perjure itself; it cannot be wholly absent. Only its interpretation can err.” (Paul Kirk, Crime Investigation)
Gathering and studying the physical evidence, then, is the crucial first step. The fact that the crime scene was disturbed and that evidence was hastily removed and destroyed has created challenges for investigators. Fortunately, evidence such as eyewitness accounts of explosions, the discovery of nano-thermite in the debris, and photographic evidence of molten steel in the rubble, revealed the effects of controlled demolitions and disproved the official story that three WTC high-rises were brought down by office fires and jet plane crashes.

“United We Stand” by FreeandEqual.org
UCLA - Los Angeles, CA
We have been encouraged to speak at the “United We Stand” truth and music festival by host “Free & Equal” at UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles on May 10, 2014.
The UWS Festival will showcase music as well as panels of musicians, actors, writers, journalists, and other speakers. Fundraising for this major event began at Indiegogo and ran through February 15. We encouraged everyone through our social media platforms to support the event at Indiegogo. You can also reserve your tickets – it will sell-out.
We have the opportunity here to bring 9/11 truth from the World Trade Center to more than a thousand folks who are newcomers to the explosive evidence. We will be addressing audience members who arrive not only to see their favorite rock bands like Immortal Technique and Wu-Tang Clan, but those who have come to hear other experts in the fields of the Patriot Act, NDAA, NSA, war on drugs, drones, foreign policies, GMO, Internet freedom, election reform and more. Speakers include RT’s Abby Martin, Ben Swann, Congressional Candidate Marianne Williamson, Christina Tobin, Ellen Brown, Kimberly & Foster Gamble, Luke Rudkowski, Sherriff Richard Mack, and a dozen other inspired speakers. This is the largest assembly of newcomers to the 9/11 truth issue that AE911Truth will have had the chance to speak to. The events will be recorded and broadcast globally.

Part 4: Doublethink
© by Frances T. Shure, 2014
Editor’s Note: Frances Shure, M.A., L.P.C., has performed an in-depth analysis addressing a key issue of our time: “Why Do Good People Become Silent—or Worse—About 9/11?” The resulting essay, presented here as a series, is composed of a synthesis of reports on academic research as well as clinical observations.
In answering the question in the title of this essay, last month’s segment, Part 3, addressed the topic “Obeying and Believing Authority,” which reported on the experiments by Stanley Milgram, Jane Elliott, and Philip Zimbardo, all of which demonstrate our human proclivity to trust and obey authority, even in violation of cherished moral values, leading to the development of faulty identities and beliefs as well as resulting in flawed decisions which often negatively affect others.
We continue Ms. Shure’s analysis this month in Part 4 with the concept “doublethink,” developed by George Orwell.
Doublethink
We shall begin on the lighter side with George Orwell’s brilliant concept of “doublethink.” In Orwell’s classic novel, 1984, doublethink means the capacity to hold two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously and accept both of them.
In Orwell’s not-so-fictional novel, the term “doublethink” is a Newspeak word that is replacing the Oldspeak term, “reality control.” Newspeak is a new politically correct language with a very limited vocabulary, developed by the controlling powers (the High) for the purposes of controlling the public’s worldview and limiting the possibility of independent thought. In other words, controlling words permitted in the language would result in controlling the thoughts people would be able to have.
