Obama Admin Going After 9/11 Truthers?


Obama staffer wants ‘cognitive infiltration’ of 9/11 conspiracy groups

In a 2008 academic paper, President Barack Obama's appointee to head the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs advocated "cognitive infiltration" of groups that advocate "conspiracy theories" like the ones surrounding 9/11.

Cass Sunstein, a Harvard law professor, co-wrote an academic article entitled "Conspiracy Theories: Causes and Cures," in which he argued that the government should stealthily infiltrate groups that pose alternative theories on historical events via "chat rooms, online social networks, or even real-space groups and attempt to undermine" those groups.

As head of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Sunstein is in charge of "overseeing policies relating to privacy, information quality, and statistical programs," according to the White House Web site.

  1. I just fired off this email to Herr Goebbels,

    Prof. Sunstein,

    Sir, do you really believe that your attempt to stifle truth is going to work? Because of your position of attempting to stop people from thinking for themselves one has to wonder about the general state of education today if this kind of Orwellian thinking is coming from a Harvard professor.

    You have to know that people don't come to the conclusion easily that their government may have been involved in heinous crimes, even though history proves that governments can't be trusted and have more often than not committed horrendous acts against the very people they are charged to protect.

    I have to ask, do you believe that the nearly 1,000 architects and engineers on a&efortruth9/11 are suffering from a mental illness? Or the hundreds of pilots at Pilots-for-Truth-9/11? Our how about the firefighters and first responders at Firefighter-for-Truth-9/11, that were there and witnessed the events, are they too suffering from this same mental illness? Or perhaps you can visit Scholars for Truth 9/11 and view many of your brethren, professors, military, intelligence agents and politicians, are they too sick? Of course, lets not leave out the nearly 50% of the public that have seen through the propaganda that is spewed by the massive MSM, that now believe that they are being lied to by our government about many of the things we've been told.

    No professor, if there is anyone that's sick here its you. Your attempt to stop people from uncovering the truth smacks of the worst mental illness of all. Honest debate is one thing, but that is not what you're proposing. What you're propose is the attempt to dishonestly infiltrate groups with paid disinformation agents, hardly honest, and it smacks of the kind of thinking that no free society should tolerate. If you were honest with yourself, you should resign your position in shame, for your very presents in academia is itself abhorrent.

  2. So far, this guy is leaving a signature of a hack "academic" and a typical bullshitter and flak:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Bullshit

    1. He seems to be speaking outside his area. I would have to slog through his PDF paper to see... but his area is Law... not cognitive or social theory.

    2. How is this any different than COINTELPRO? Not much. Furthermore, there is evidence to indicate that the "9-11 Truth Movement" has ALREADY had "cognitive infiltration." Responsible "Truthers" are asking for a REAL investigation (with testimony UNDER OATH, rules of evidence, etc.) and nothing more.

    3. It seems that Sunstein is weak in his own area as far as "rules of evidence" go. Like all flaks and hacks... he is cobbling together "reasonable" support for a decision that has already been made. "We need to stifle this shit... how do we do it?"

    WHAT "shit?" WHY do "we" need to stifle it? WHO is "we?" And "conspiracy theory?" WHERE the hell does that come from?

    The "official story" IS a fucking "conspiracy theory."

  3. I'd like to thank Cass Sunstein for supporting the mass-murderers who staged the 9/11 event. Not only have you shown extraordinary courage in your quest for truth and justice, but the fact that you want to employ illegal and immoral tactics in the support of condemnation of those seeking the truth places you in the lowest category of humans.

    Rhymes with truck - means travel.

  4. Another name for disinformation and manipulation, in the face of a multitude of unanswered questions- not all from “kooks!”

    …..Here are 40 experts, including the Chairman, 9/11 Commission, Thomas H. Kean, Former Governor of New Jersey and Vice Chairman, 9/11 Commission, Lee Hamilton, Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, Homeland Security Advisory Council ~ sounding off in short quotes about their misgivings with the 9/11 commission and the far too many questions that are still UNANSWERED.

  5. The police state is moving forward at such a rapid pace, it's hard to keep track of the atrocities against our civil liberties. Just this past week we've seen them call for full body scanners for everyone that boards an airplane and now this.

    What is being proposed here is the death of free speech. The thought police will be out in full force ready to prosecute or execute anyone that speaks ill of government policies.

    This is serious stuff guys. Coto knows cointelpro has never abated but the fact that they are making their policies public as if a good thing for our "security" is really troubling. Coto and other similar sites will be targeted to be shut down. Hell, they are getting ready to control what we see and hear on the internet as we type today.

    When coto commented on oen that Obama would be WORSE than McCain we are being proved correct a thousand times over. Oh how I wish we were fulla shit.

  6. "cyber balkanization" nicely identifies the MSM, think tanks and disinfo regime that hads been operating in this country since the 76 Bilderberg conference. His 2001 book ,Republic.com illustrates his history and work in the behavioral sciences.

    The Chicago based CENTER FOR DECISION RESEARCH is a wonderful example of the elite grasp on the psyche of men and money.

    An Obama Apologist for certain

    GREAT COMMENT
    "It takes a great intellect to cover up for someone else's lack of ability--and make it look like a strength. So my hat is off to author for his great intellect."

    Another like Thaler and Hillel Einhorn, who research the cognitive and social psychology, economics, sociology, statistics, and other disciplines to understand how individuals and groups make decisions, so they may IDENTIFY, MANIPULATE and PROFIT in the name of human and financial betterment??????
