Conspiracy Theory
Paul Craig Roberts

Paul Craig Roberts served as Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in
the Reagan administration.

While we were not watching, conspiracy theory has undergone Orwellian
redefinition.

A "conspiracy theory" no longer means an event explained by a
conspiracy. Instead, it now means any explanation, or even a fact,
that is out of step with the government's explanation and that of its
media pimps.

For example, online news broadcasts of RT have been equated with
conspiracy theories by the New York Times simply because RT reports
news and opinions that the New York Times does not report and the US
government does not endorse.

In other words, as truth becomes uncomfortable for government and its
Ministry of Propaganda, truth is redefined as conspiracy theory, by
which is meant an absurd and laughable explanation that we should
ignore.

When piles of carefully researched books, released government
documents, and testimony of eye witnesses made it clear that Oswald
was not President John F. Kennedy's assassin, the voluminous research,
government documents, and verified testimony was dismissed as
"conspiracy theory."

In other words, the truth of the event was unacceptable to the
authorities and to the Ministry of Propaganda that represents the
interests of authorities.

The purest example of how Americans are shielded from truth is the
media's (including many Internet sites') response to the large number
of professionals who find the official explanation of September 11,
2001, inconsistent with everything they, as experts, know about
physics, chemistry, structural engineering, architecture, fires,
structural damage, the piloting of airplanes, the security procedures
of the United States, NORAD's capabilities, air traffic control,
airport security, and other matters. These experts, numbering in the
thousands, have been shouted down by know-nothings in the media who
brand the experts as "conspiracy theorists."

This despite the fact that the official explanation endorsed by the
official media is the most extravagant conspiracy theory in human
history.

Let's take a minute to re-acquaint ourselves with the official
explanation, which is not regarded as a conspiracy theory despite the
fact that it comprises an amazing conspiracy. The official truth is
that a handful of young Muslim Arabs who could not fly airplanes,
mainly Saudi Arabians who came neither from Iraq nor from Afghanistan,
outwitted not only the CIA and the FBI, but also all 16 US
intelligence agencies and all intelligence agencies of US allies
including Israel's Mossad, which is believed to have penetrated every
terrorist organization and which carries out assassinations of those
whom Mossad marks as terrorists.

In addition to outwitting every intelligence agency of the United
States and its allies, the handful of young Saudi Arabians outwitted
the National Security Council, the State Department, NORAD, airport
security four times in the same hour on the same morning, air traffic
control, caused the US Air Force to be unable to launch interceptor
aircraft, and caused three well-built steel-structured buildings,
including one not hit by an airplane, to fail suddenly in a few
seconds as a result of limited structural damage and small,
short-lived, low-temperature fires that burned on a few floors.

The Saudi terrorists were even able to confound the laws of physics
and cause WTC building seven to collapse at free fall speed for
several seconds, a physical impossibility in the absence of explosives
used in controlled demolition.

The story that the government and the media have told us amounts to a
gigantic conspiracy, really a script for a James Bond film. Yet,
anyone who doubts this improbable conspiracy theory is defined into
irrelevance by the obedient media.

Anyone who believes an architect, structural engineer, or demolition
expert who says that the videos show that the buildings are blowing
up, not falling down, anyone who believes a Ph.D. physicist who says
that the official explanation is inconsistent with known laws of
physics, anyone who believes expert pilots who testify that non-pilots
or poorly-qualified pilots cannot fly airplanes in such maneuvers,
anyone who believes the 100 or more first responders who testify that
they not only heard explosions in the towers but personally
experienced explosions, anyone who believes University of Copenhagen
nano-chemist Niels Harrit who reports finding unreacted nano-thermite
in dust samples from the WTC towers, anyone who is convinced by
experts instead of by propaganda is dismissed as a kook.

In America today, and increasingly throughout the Western world,
actual facts and true explanations have been relegated to the realm of
kookiness. Only people who believe lies are socially approved and
accepted as patriotic citizens.

Indeed, a writer or newscaster is not even permitted to report the
findings of 9/11 skeptics. In other words, simply to report Professor
Harrit's findings now means that you endorse them or agree with them.
Everyone in the US print and TV media knows that he/she will be
instantly fired if they report Harrit's findings, even with a laugh.
Thus, although Harrit has reported his findings on European television
and has lectured widely on his findings in Canadian universities, the
fact that he and the international scientific research team that he
led found unreacted nano-thermite in the WTC dust and have offered
samples to other scientists to examine has to my knowledge never been
reported in the American media.

Even Internet sites on which I am among the readers' favorites will
not allow me to report on Harrit's findings.

As I reported earlier, I myself had experience with a Huffington Post
reporter who was keen to interview a Reagan presidential appointee who
was in disagreement with the

Republican wars in the Middle East. After he published the interview
that I provided at his request, he was terrified to learn that I had
reported findings of 9/11 investigators.

To protect his career, he quickly inserted on the online interview
that my views on the Iraq and Afghanistan invasions could be dismissed
as I had reported unacceptable findings about 9/11.

The unwillingness or inability to entertain any view of 9/11 different
from the official view dooms to impotence many Internet sites that are
opposed to the wars and to the rise of the domestic US police state.
These sites, for whatever the reasons, accept the government's
explanation of 9/11; yet, they try to oppose the "war on terror" and
the police state which are the consequences of accepting the
government's explanation. Trying to oppose the consequences of an
event whose explanation you accept is an impossible task.

If you believe that America was attacked by Muslim terrorists and is
susceptible to future attacks, then a "war on terror" and a domestic
police state to root out terrorists become necessary to make Americans
safe. The idea that a domestic police state and open-ended war might
be more dangerous threats to Americans than terrorists is an
impermissible thought.

A country whose population has been trained to accept the government's
word and to shun those who question it is a country without liberty in
its future.
