Nothing terribly new here. The advertising and PR industry since Bernays has studied this and figured out exactly how to influence people's thinking. See the Century of the Self which is pretty revealing. One of Bernays early projects was to work with politicians marketing them and even war to the people. Madison Avenue is one big psy op for getting people to consume and spend money for products and services which they often don't need. MaLuhan, Vance Packard, George Lakoff and many others have studied and taught this stuff to pols, corporations, and institutions with an agenda and a need to get the public to support it.
The question remains whether 9/11 was a campaign (psy op) to bring on war and more fascism or these were policies enacted by opportunists in the *disaster capitalism* paradigm as explained by Naomi Klein in the *Shock Doctrine*. There is no doubt in my mind that the shock doctrine was in play... and that itself is one of the main reasons that 9/11 was not looked at too closely... too many special interests benefited big time from it and didn't want any of those gains walked backed.
We sure have seen cases with the CIA and FBI have engaged in entrapment and creating crimes and these DO amount to false flags operation. The *underwear* bomber is an example. It looks like this was an intel (FBI-CIA) sting/operation and Abdulmutallab was a patsy. No trial... no discovery... down the rabbit hole. Nigerian teens without luggage or papers can't board International flights... and someone got him on the plane. Regardless... net effect.. people scared of flying because of terrorism and cowed into invasive screening procedures. Simple!
