Misinformation

Maintaining the Official Story in the Face of Glaring Contradictions

Ensuring the success of the official story of 9/11/01 despite the long sequence of highly improbable events it supposes required that people not
pay too much attention to the details. This would be ensured by the "shock and awe" of the attack itself combined with an intense propaganda
campaign to sell the official story. Ironically, the vast majority of those who created and promoted that propaganda probably did so innocently,
never questioning the official version of events. The idea that the entire attack was an inside job was simply too unthinkable for most Americans to consider.

The use of disinformation and diversion to manipulate public opinion is a highly developed art. It is well understood not only by psychological
operations experts in the national security establishment, but also by marketing and public relations wizards. With the engineering of public
reaction to September 11, disinformation has been used with a sophistication and depth that is historically unprecedented.
A key tool in this modern form of psychological warfare is the "meme" -- an idea that acts like an infectious agent to spread itself through a population.
Through careful construction of memes, the perpetrators could depend on others to unwittingly promote their cover story and conceal the truth.
Their disinformation strategy was twofold. First, they would sell the official story to the masses through the compliant mass media, relying on
people's desire to believe the official story. Second, they would seed specious ideas in the community of "9/11 skeptics" in order to distract and
discredit them.

The Official Story of September 11, and Its Apologists

On the day of the attack, details about the alleged perpetrators emerged with a rapidity that is remarkable given the assertions by
high-ranking administration officials that no one had ever considered that an attacker could fly planes into buildings.
Within hours the identities of several of the alleged hijackers were known, and Osama bin Laden was being presented as the prime suspect.
Within three days the FBI published the identities of all the alleged hijackers. It was being presented as an open-and-shut case.

Academics helped to explain the collapses of the Twin Towers in articles in respected publications. Just two days after the attack, a
scientific paper purported to fully explain the unprecedented engineering failures using "elastic dynamic analysis." "Why Did the World Trade
Center Collapse? - Simple Analysis" was published in the Journal of Engineering Mechanics ASCE on 9/13/01.
Peer review of this paper and of other theories volunteering to explain the collapses was conspicuously absent.

The mass media were consistent in avoiding asking the most obvious questions. Why did the air defense network fail to respond?
Why did Flight 77 target the recently-fortified, mostly empty portion of the Pentagon? Why was the Ground Zero steel removed and destroyed
as fast as possible? The media shirked their public service obligation of acting as watchdogs of the government, and instead became
cheerleaders for the administration's war plans for central Asia.

The vast body of print reportage about September 11 attack is notable for an abundance of contradictions.
The timelines in the Complete 9-11 Timeline series reveal numerous inconsistencies, such as between reported times of events.
These discrepancies, combined with the lack of evidence, discourage investigation of facts of the attack. Meanwhile, the impending attack
on Afghanistan, the alleged Islam-terror link, and "homeland security" got the attention.

This section examines just a few of the elements of the official story of September 11 with a skeptical view and attention to contradictions.

• Red Flags: People are able to accept theories blessed by government and mainstream media, despite inconsistencies and long series
  
• of improbable coincidences.
• Cover Stories: The top four in command of our defense go about routine appointments for an hour as the attack unfolds.
• Experts on Parade: Experts "explain" the collapses of the World Trade Center buildings.

Disinformation Targeting the Skeptics

Disinformation aimed at skeptics of the official story is more subtle than the simple promotion of that story to the masses.
It may consist of ideas with no basis in evidence packaged as shocking new findings that supposedly prove the involvement of insiders.
Its effect is to discredit the larger body of 9/11 research through guilt by association with its sensational and unscientific approach.
An example is the idea that Twin Towers were not hit by Flights 11 or 175 but rather by completely different objects, such as military
planes with missile-firing pods. Since 9-11 Research does not provide analysis of such disinformation, we recommend the
disinformation section of 911review.com.

Rosicrucianism

Rosicrucianism is a mystical belief system and ideology that pursues spiritual and alchemical goals largely through Occult and Christian Gnostic paths. However, throughout history its endeavours have largely been to gain material power on the material plane, and the deep Gnostic teachings have
become twisted.

The core of the Secret Doctrine of Rosicrucianism, or Mystic Christianity, is the pursuit of psychic power to control the mind of one's self and
others. Through the control of one's will, one gains the unification of one's psychic energies, although it is accepted that certain negative emotions
such as guilt, are the inevitable consequence of attempts to control another human being. However, the doctrine overcomes these human feelings
by requiring the student to "polarize themselves at the positive pole of a particular emotional state, and by a process of refusing or denial they
manage to escape the effects of the swing of the emotional pendulum to the negative pole."

The philosophy goes so far as to state that there is no difference between these two poles or opposites and thus negativity or darkness can
be perceived as positivity and light. The Master has learned to strengthen his own will, and control others, directly through the repression
of his emotions. The initiated Rosicrucian therefore looks upon the pain and suffering of the world as being no different from the opposing
pole of peace and happiness, and in fact believes that one cannot exist without the other. Thus for peace to exist in one country, war must
be raging in another, for wealth and abundance to exist in one region, poverty and famine must exist in another.

These mystical theories of opposites stem from Eastern Gnostic concepts of the dual energies of Man that are metaphysically expressed
through the act of sex. Sex ritual and sexual concepts are central to the alchemical Secret Doctrine, as great Power is believed to be released
by the union of the pairs of opposites - "Sex is the cause of all creation, for creation always results from generation, and generation proceeds
from sex activity".

Though these ideas have developed from Indian Tantric traditions, within Rosicrucianism they have merged with Pagan ideas of sexual
fertility ritual. The goal of the Rosicrucian initiate is to gain magickal powers, as opposed to the Indian goal of attaining Enlightenment - an
experience of the Love of God.

The Secret Doctrine of the Rosicrucians, published anonymously early in the 20th Century by a senior Rosicrucian "Magus Incognito", was
threatened with a lawsuit by the worldwide Rosicrucian Order (AMORC) for revealing the secrets of the order -- although AMORC is just
one of many organizations that subscribes to Rosicrucian philosophy -- beliefs that are the foundation of all so-called mystical or occult groups
including Freemasonry. As the Secret Doctrine states "The possession of Knowledge unaccompanied by a manifestation and expression in Action,
is like the hoarding of precious metals. Forget not the Law of Use, in this and all other things". One must ask what this "magickal" power is to
be used for?

According to their dogma, it is the mission of the Rosicrucian initiate to assist in the evolution of human consciousness. However, their
evolutionary theories are fundamentally racist. According to their beliefs, each race is of a higher or lesser degree of consciousness.
One race may only step forward to a higher plane when the lowest race is annihilated -- by whatever means it is their unfortunate "destiny" to endure.
As theories of reincarnation are also central to the Rosicrucian belief system, such racial genocides are not considered to be negative,
but in fact, most positive.

"The individuals of any sub-race who have outstripped their fellows in spiritual enfoldment, are still bound by race ties to their brothers,
until the great body of the sub-race moves up to the position of the individual... Great convulsions of Nature destroy practically all traces
of the preceding civilization, and leave but few survivors".

The rich and powerful man is believed to be spiritually and genetically of a higher order than the poor man "The law of rebirth and
consequences is the only law that can satisfactorily make sense of justice. It explains why individuals are born into wealth or poverty, joy
or sorrow, peace or conflict". The indigenous peoples of the world are considered "a remnant of degraded human creatures, persisting in
incarnation for thousands of years, being composed of those souls not sufficiently advanced to take part in the life of the new races.
These leftovers are in evidence in the cases of the Australian savages, the African bushmen, and the Indians, and others of a similar
low order of developments".

The higher ranks of Freemasonry are the lower ranks of the exclusive Rosicrucian orders. The Knights of Malta, the Knights Templar,
the Priory of Sion etc. are instructed in these Occult beliefs; which means many powerful people have been conditioned to internalize these
dehumanizing values.

At first glance it may appear that the Catholic monastic orders are at odds with Rosicrucianism, however, the historical "civilizing" and
"educational" mission of the Jesuits is rooted in these same beliefs. It is believed by scholars that the inner-circle mystic teachings of the
Jesuits and Rosicrucianism are essentially the same thing. Pope John Paul II's announcement that "God is a supreme being with both male
and female qualities", contradicts traditional Catholic teaching, and is essentially a Rosicrucian/Gnostic concept. In fact, the orthodox Roman
Catholic Church has always been fundamentally linked with the Rosicrucian Secret Church. It is alleged that Pope John XXIII was Grand Master
of the Priory of Sion during his papal reign, and the creator of the Cistercian monks St. Bernard was involved in the formation of the
Knights Templar. Rosicrucians believe that "Christ taught the laws of rebirth and consequences secretly to his disciples, but requested
that these two laws not be taught publically for 2000 years". Traditional Catholicism's obsession with sex, is also a result of the Vatican's
knowledge of these secret teachings.

According to aristocratic historian Sir Laurence Gardner, the British contingent of the Imperial and Royal Dragon Court embodies the
"Knights Templar of St.Anthony" and resides within the "Rosicruciana Anglicae" fraternity -- revealing that "Satanism" and Rosicrucianism
are not so much distant cousins, as close relatives. Perhaps this goes some way to explaining why the Catholic order of the Knights Templar
worshiped an idol named "Baphomet" -- a goat headed and hoofed androgenous figure with female breasts, an erect penis, and a pentagram
on its forehead. The massively wealthy Knights (gold bullion got its name from Templar creator Godfroi de Bouillon) are widely credited with
originating the capitalist banking system and corporate model, and were eventually hounded by the Church's Inquisition allegedly for "infanticide,
sodomy, and witchcraft", although their demise did save the Church and many Princes of Europe from repaying great debts. However,
many Templars relocated to England and Scotland where their tradition continued with the formation of Freemasonry.

Just as within the enormous body of the Catholic Church there are many monastic and ecclesiastic orders with varying perceptions of
Catholic dogma, so too the Rosicrucian Secret Church and its Great White Brotherhood can be seen to be totally unified within its
apparent fragmentation.

The repression and denial of the "negative feelings resulting from one's actions" is an attempt to avoid feelings of guilt and social responsibility.
The reverse thinking of Rosicrucianism is clearly an historical ideology created by the rich and powerful, and based upon their pursuit of
conquest and power. Ultimately it is no different to the psychology of a psychopath or sociopath, as psychiatry defines. The mental profile
of a serial killer always follows a spiralling pattern -- feelings of inadequacy are overcome by power fantasies of control and murder.
These fantasies become an obsession and ultimately a compulsion, forcing the psychopath to act out his fantasy. After the initial elation of
fulfilment, guilt follows, and the feelings of inadequacy return, but to a higher degree. The spiral downward begins again with renewed fantasies,
more desperate than before, to repress the human feelings of guilt. And so obsession becomes compulsion etc. Any belief system founded on a
similar spiral of repression of natural human moral feelings can only lead to similar compulsive sociopathic behaviour. This logic is apparent in the
modern world with its internalized amoral "corporate values" of greed and conquest, and is illustrated by Henry Kissinger's infamous statement
"We're bombing them to save them from themselves". Rosicrucianism was the foundation for the beliefs of the Theosophy movement,
which was largely responsible for the ideology of the Nazis and the resulting Holocaust.
