[RG911Team] Accepting the truth of 9/11 can be hard. That’s why we included psychologists and therapists in “9/11: Explosive Evidence - Experts Speak Out”. They explain why it’s so hard, what cognitive dissonance is, and why people need compassion as much as the truth. https://t.co/cQLF9gasoz pic.twitter.com/z3oasJDGM0

MARTI HOPPER, 00:42. As we know, the horrors of what happened on 9/11 were televised all over the world; they were televised, in fact, live. We witnessed the deaths of almost 3,000 of our fellow Americans. We know this had a very severe and traumatic impact on a large majority of the population at this point. We have 9 years of hard scientific evidence that disproves the government theory about what happened on September 11th, and yet people continue to be either oblivious to the fact that this information exists, or completely resistant to looking at this information. So the question becomes why? Why is it that people have so much trouble hearing this information? For my work, I think we would be remiss not to look at the impact of trauma.
ROBERT HOPPER, 01:37. Many people respond to these truths in a very deep way some have a visceral reaction like they've been punched in the stomach to begin to accept the possibility that the government was involved is like opening Pandora's Box. If you open the lid and peek in a little bit, it's going to challenge some of your fundamental beliefs about the world.
DOROTHY LORIG, 02:04. If we can think of our worldview as being sort of our mental and emotional home I think all of us will do just about anything to defend our homes to defend our families and so I see that with people and I saw that with myself when my brother tried to talk to me about it don't mess with me don't mess with my home don't mess with my comfort of how things are about a week later I read a lengthy article by professor David Ray Griffin why he believes the official account about 9/11 cannot be true and it was a very well researched article and it was in my office at the time I sat there I felt my stomach churning and I thought maybe I was going to be sick and I leaped out of my chair and I ran out the door and took a long walk around the block around several blocks and just broke down I understand now that what was happening was my worldview about my government being in some way my protector almost like a parent had been dashed and it was like being cast out into the wilderness I think is the closest way to describe that feeling and I sobbed and I sobbed, felt like the ground had completely disappeared from beneath my feet and I knew at some point during the walk that I knew that I was going to have to become active in educating other people about this that for me to retain any sense of integrity I was going to have to take some action I couldn't just let something like this go.
FRANCES SHURE, 3:41. When we hear information that contradicts our worldview, social psychologists call the resulting insecurity "cognitive dissonance." For example, with 9/11 we have one cognition, which is what the official story of 9/11, what our government told us, and what our media repeated to us over and over, that 19 Muslims attacked us. On the other hand, we have what scientists, researchers, architects, and engineers are now beginning to tell us which is that there is evidence that shows that the official story cannot be true. So, now we've lost our sense of security. We are starting to feel vulnerable. Now we're confused.
ROBERT HOPPER, 4:28. 9/11 truth challenges the beliefs that our country protects us and keeps us safe and that America is the good guy. When your beliefs are challenged, fear and anxiety are created. In response to that, our psychological defenses kick in and they protect us from these emotions. Denial, which is probably the most primitive psychological defense, is the one most likely to kick in when our beliefs are challenged.
DANIELLE DUPERRET, 4:57. It's a very very uncomfortable state to be in, and actually our mind shuts off just like a computer is overloaded our minds get overloaded we can't handle it anymore and we shut down.
FRANCES SHURE, 5:11. And what some of us will tend to do is deny the evidence that's coming our way and stick to the original story, the official story, and to try to regain our equilibrium in that way another thing that we can do is decide to look at the conflicting evidence and be sincere and be open-minded and look at both sides of the issue and then make up our own minds about what reality is
