9/11 and The Numb Majority The Numb Majority is similar to the Silent Majority, except the process of accepting 9/11 truth is only now emerging.by R Clements

9/11 changed everything. A strong majority of Americans disapprove of the job Congress and the President is doing, yet have struggled to comprehend the truth of 9/11. Chronic fear has numbed emotions and psychological defenses has limited awareness of things we are unable to face or change. We are reaching "critical mass" for the truth to emerge and overpower the lies arising from the White House. Imagine the Numb Majority awakening like a sleeping giant.
The Main Stream Media (MSM) and the two major political parties have helped hide the truth through deception and limiting topics discussed. The Democrats and Republicans are like one political party. Imagine them as dominoes. If there was only one party or if each were standing alone, they could be knocked over more easily. In reality, they are like dominoes, leaning together so they support each other and are very difficult to knock over. Two years ago, pressure was building against the GOP, so a of majority Democrats were elected to congress. Then the Democrats ended up enabling the White House to further ignore the Geneva Conventions, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. The various forces push them tighter together, so it hardly matters if the next president is Democrat or Republican.
9/11 was a Shock and Awe experience and step toward the Shock and Awe in Bagdad. Naomi Klein’s book, The Shock Doctrine: Rise of Disaster Capitalism is an excellent description of the shocks we are going through. The shocks include our current financial meltdown.
The financial meltdown is like a hurricane and we are now in the eye. Economic jolts have calmed down some, but the meltdown is far from over. The second wave can hit at any time, probably more severe that the first half. Add that to our government flirting with nuclear war against Iran and/or Russia, initiating use of ground troops in Pakistan (a country with nuclear weapons), and the continued erosion of liberty.
We are bound to have more shocks, but the majority is being backed into a corner. Denial of reality will no longer work, if the majority want to survive. When the stress is overwhelming, the possible responses are fight, flight, and freeze. Freezing up or becoming numb is not working so well anymore.
The Numb Majority is being forced to wake up to 9/11 truth. It does not take much research to find the 9/11 truth, it has just taken some time for the horrible reality of it to soak in and realize who the 9/11 criminals really are. There is no place to hide from it.
Fear within the government, political parties, and the MSM is evidence of this process. The police state crackdown on dissenters at the political conventions is out of fear. The real power is with the majority and the incentives are increasing for them to use it.

To be honest, Naomi Klien makes a weird case against the Capitalist Shock Doctrine. She makes it seem as if capitalism is the only concluding "disaster" from shocks in society.
