"The 9/11 Attacks"
Smokescreen Language
|
The term "The 9/11 Attacks" is used to define the events
of 9/11, but it completely obscures the fact that two of America's status
symbols collapsed for no good reason on that day. If the twin towers had been the only buildings hit by planes on 9/11 then the day's events would have been referred to as "The World Trade Center Disaster," and this term would have drawn people into asking serious questions about why the buildings collapsed. Is it just good fortune for the US government that four planes were involved and the blanket term "The 9/11 Attacks" defines the day's events? Few questions are asked about the World Trade Center catastrophe because of this. "The 9/11 Attacks" is smokescreen language. 9/11 was "The World Trade Center Disaster". Think about it. Then ask questions. |
