Abstract

This essay examines the traumas inflicted by acts of false-flag state terrorism on 11 September 2001, and their concealment by exploitation of mythicist falsifications that are endemic to our culture—while also paying particular attention to parallels between the staging of explosive demolitions for the WTC Towers and gutting of the Reichstag by Nazi incendiaries in 1933. The study culminates in a depiction—based on heuristic distinctions between natural, gnomic, alethic, and personal wills—of how we become vulnerable to mythicist falsifications, and how truth-telling facilitates recovery of our moral integrity after the twin traumas of betrayal by acts of state terror, and complicity with that betrayal, have deeply compromised it.

国家恐怖的神话基础
这篇文章探讨了2001年9月11日假国旗国家恐怖主义行为造成的创伤,以及利用我们文化中特有的神话伪造来掩盖这些创伤,同时也特别关注了1933年为世贸中心大楼进行爆炸性拆除和纳粹燃烧弹摧毁国会大厦之间的相似之处。这项研究的高潮是描述了我们如何容易受到神话主义伪造的影响,以及在国家恐怖行为的背叛和与背叛的共谋这两种双重创伤深深损害了我们的道德操守之后,讲真话如何促进我们恢复道德操守。
