Apocalypse of Coercion: Why We Listen to What “They” Say About 9/11.
Apocalypse of Coercion: Why We Listen to What “They” Say About 9/11.

By Kevin Barrett, http://mujca.com

Summary

“Apocalypse of Coercion” uses Douglas Rushkoff’s landmark book "Coercion" as a touchstone for understanding 9/11 as a psychological warfare operation. Rushkoff’s well-researched insights into the mind-control techniques of car salesmen, spin doctors, cult leaders, and CIA psych-war specialists explain how 9/11 was designed as a war-triggering “New Pearl Harbor.” These insights also explain why so many people can continue to believe the official myth of 9/11 in the teeth of the overwhelming evidence against it. Perhaps most importantly, Rushkoff predicts that new communications technologies promise to put an explosive end to the era of pervasive coercion. His prophecy of the coming apocalyptic end of coercion explains why the coercers were desperate enough to try to re-infantalize the public through 9/11 in order to maintain the old coercive structures of social control. In predicting doom for the coercers, Rushkoff provides us with a roadmap to a post-9/11-truth world.

Apocalypse of Coercion: Why We Listen to What “They” Say About 9/11

"That’s just like hypnotizing chickens."
-Iggy Pop, "Lust for Life"

"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice...uh...(long pause)...we won’t get fooled again."
-George W. Bush


They say suicidal Muslim fanatics did it. They say those radical Muslims hate our freedoms. They say the country is full of sleeper agents who could wake up and kill us at any moment, as soon as their little red-white-and-blue “I hate the USA” wristwatch alarms go off.

They say that Saddam Hussein had something to do with it—he’s Muslim, isn’t he? They say invading Afghanistan and Iraq was the appropriate response; we had to do something, right? They say if you’re not with us, you’re against us—and if you’re against us, you’re on the side of the evildoers.

They say those cunning, devious suicide hijackers defeated America’s defenses using flying lessons and box cutters. They say it was ordered by a tall, dark, handsome, sinister, hooknosed kidney patient in a cave in Afghanistan—a ringer for the evil vizier Jaffar in the Disney film Aladdin, but with a thicker beard to signify “Islamist.” They say it was masterminded by a real bad dude named KSM. They say they finally caught KSM, and that the whole story, enshrined in the official 9/11 Commission Report, is based on what KSM said under interrogation—so it’s all right from the horse’s mouth.
