Arrived today.
Blurb:
| Quote: | | Former Chicago and Harvard Law professor Cass Sunstein, who in 2009 was appointed by President Barrack Obama to direct an important executive branch office, had in 2008 co-authored an article containing a plan for the government to prevent the spread of anti-government ‘conspiracy theories’, in which he advocated the use of anonymous government agents to engage in ‘cognitive infiltration’ of these groups in order to break them up. In his new book, Griffin focuses on the fact that Sunstein’s primary target is the conspiracy advocated by the 9/11 Truth Movement. Examining Sunstein’s charge that this theory is both ‘harmful’ and ‘demonstrably false,’ Griffin uses both satire and overwhelming evidence to show that this twofold charge applies instead to what Sunstein calls ‘the true conspiracy theory’ about 9/11 – name, the ‘theory that al-Qaeda was responsible for 9/11.” |
Introduction: Cass Sunstein’s ‘Conspiracy Theories’
1. Conspiracy theories defined
2. Conspiracy theories in America as usually false
3. The 9/11 conspiracy theory defined
4. 9/11 conspiracy theories as epistemological cripples
5. The 9/11 conspiracy theory as demonstrably false
6. The 9/11 conspiracy theory as harmful
7. The duty to undermine the 9/11 conspiracy theory
8. Inoculating the public
9. Hard-core conspiracy theories as unteachable
10. Cognitive infiltration as the best solution
Conclusion: interpreting the esoteric interpretation
