"Cognitive dissonance relates to the concept of being exposed to information or having experiences that conflict with our existing base of “what we know.” “Conspiracy theories” seem to be the quintessentially cognitive dissonant concepts of our culture. For many people, the idea that JFK was killed by the government or “9/11 was an inside job” threatens the entire fabric of their consciousness. These things simply cannot be true and people will bend over backwards and resort to irrationality and ridicule to avoid considering them." - Source: http://www.truthmove.org/content/cognitive-dissonance
"'Jesus was black, Ronald Reagan was the devil, and the government is lying about 911, thank you for your time, and goodnight'. Those were the first words we heard from Huey, a 10-year-old African American boy uprooted from Chicago’s seedy underbelly and moved to an upscale white neighborhood by his granddad/legal guardian. It’s just a dream (that makes white folks riot) but that’s Huey, and he doesn’t stop at white folks—not even close. Aaron McGruder takes on every taboo in the book, and few that have yet to be written, in The Boondocks, the most socially relevant and laugh-out-loud funny cartoon since South Park. The combination of McGruder’s comedy and LeSean Thomas’s art direction are an unstoppable force of animated nature. Commercial-free and packed with great extras (deleted scenes, unaired promos, commentaries, behind-the-scenes featurette) this is a DVD collection no American should be without." - Source: http://playmagazine.com/index.php?fuseaction=SiteMain.showMediaPage&Media_ID=101
"Former Minnesota Governor, professional wrestler, actor, and author Jesse Ventura visited the Opie and Anthony Show to promote his new book, and the conversation eventually turned to Ventura's thoughts on the September 11th tragedy. His views don't sit well with the likes of Anthony, Jim Norton, and Bob Kelly, who is visiting. The conversation turns ugly fairly fast." -Source: http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1231780/jesse_ventura_debates_the_9_11_conspiracy_theory

18) The Stonewall a. Colin Powell promised a "white paper" from the State Department to establish the authorship of the attacks by al-Qaeda. This was never forthcoming, and was instead replaced by a paper from Tony Blair, which presented only circumstantial evidence, with very few points actually relating to September 11th. b. Bush and Cheney pressured the (freshly-anthraxed) leadership of the Congressional opposition into delaying the 9/11 investigation for months. The administration fought against the creation of an independent investigation for more than a year.
c. The White House thereupon attempted to appoint Henry Kissinger as the chief investigator, and acted to underfund and obstruct the 9/11 Commission. - Source: http://911debunkers.blogspot.com/2008/08/top-40-reasons-official-911-story-is.html
"He wants to say that the conspiracy theorists are not satisfied with the mundane truth. He says that generally the truth is pretty mundane. So the truth is simply that Osama bin Laden was able to inspire 19 young men, including some who couldn't fly, to fly these planes through the air, defeat the most sophisticated military defense system in history, strike the Pentagon, which is surely the most protected building on the face of the planet, and then bring down three WTC buildings by striking two of them, and bringing them down in such a way that several laws of physics we're violated."

Myth # 3: "Such a big operation involving so many people, could not have been kept a secret because someone involved in it would have talked by now"
"This claim is based on a more general myth which is that it is impossible for secret government operations to be kept secret very long because someone always talks. But how could one notice? If some big operations have remained secret until now, we, by definition, don’t know about them.
Moreover, we do know about some big operations that were kept secret as long as necessary; such as the “Manhattan Project” in order to create the atomic bomb."

The Manhattan Project ranks as the largest industrial and scientific effort in the history of the world, costing more than $2 billion in 1945 dollars and involving more than 175,000 workers.

Myth # 3: "Such a big operation involving so many people, could not have been kept a secret because someone involved in it would have talked by now"...and the war in Indonesia in 1957 which the United States provoked, participated in, and then kept secret until 1995. Many more examples could be given; we can understand more why those with the inside knowledge of 9/11 would not talk. At least most of them would have been people with the proven ability to keep secrets.
Those who were directly complicit would also be highly motivated to avoid public disgrace and the gas chamber. Those people who had knowledge without being complicit, could be induced to keep quiet by means of more or less subtle threats such as: “Joe, if you go forward with your plan to talk to the press, I don’t know who is going to protect your wife and kids”.
From some nutcase angered by your statement. Still another fact is that neither the government nor the mainstream press have, to say the least shown any signs of wanting people to come forward; for all these reasons, it is not surprising that no one has.'"

Feet to the Fire: CIA Covert Operations in Indonesia, 1957-1958 (Special Warfare Series) (Hardcover)
"More than forty years ago the Central Intelligence Agency began a top-secret covert action campaign designed to hold Indonesia's left-leaning President Sukarno's feet to the fire and prevent a strategic crossroad from falling into the communist camp. In a fast-paced, engrossing narrative evoking the novels of John LeCarré and Graham Greene, the authors provide the first unclassified, detailed case study of an operation that has escaped public scrutiny for decades." - Source: http://www.amazon.com/Feet-Fire-Operations-Indonesia-1957-1958/dp/1557501939/ref=si3_rdr_bb_product

"Obstruction of FBI Investigations prior to 9/11 A group of FBI officials in New York systematically suppressed field investigations of potential terrorists that might have uncovered the alleged hijackers - as the Moussaoui case once again showed. The stories of Sibel Edmonds, Robert Wright, Coleen Rowley and Harry Samit, the "Phoenix Memo," David Schippers, the 199i orders restricting investigations, the Bush administration's order to back off the Bin Ladin family, the reaction to the "Bojinka" plot, and John O'Neil do not, when considered in sum, indicate mere incompetence, but high-level corruption and protection of criminal networks, including the network of the alleged 9/11 conspirators. (Nearly all of these examples were omitted from or relegated to fleeting footnotes in The 9/11 Commission Report.)" - Source: http://911debunkers.blogspot.com/2008/08/top-40-reasons-official-911-story-is.html
