In this thought-provoking presentation, author and researcher Marty Schotz explores the parallels between the public’s response to President John F. Kennedy’s assassination and the events of September 11, 2001. Drawing from his extensive work, including the book History Will Not Absolve Us, Schotz examines the psychological and societal mechanisms that enable large-scale cover-ups and the suppression of inconvenient truths. He delves into the concept of “crimestop,” a term coined by George Orwell to describe the instinctive mental blocks that prevent individuals from considering certain ideas, particularly those that challenge established narratives. Schotz suggests that understanding the dynamics of denial and resistance to truth in the JFK case can offer valuable insights into addressing similar issues surrounding 9/11. This discussion encourages viewers to critically assess how historical events are presented and the importance of questioning official accounts to uncover the full truth.
