9/11 as a Deep Political Event

[Charles Drago]

"All those political practices and arrangements, deliberate or not, which are usually repressed rather than acknowledged." -- Peter Dale Scott's definition of "deep politics."


For me, the key word in Scott's construction is "repressed." In the lexicon we commonly use here, the word has a relatively narrow meaning. Here's my shot at it:

"REPRESS: v. To keep data hidden from public access to prevent the discovery of illegal political acts and to protect the individuals and systems responsible for and benefiting from them."

Charles - I am perfectly content with Peter Dale Scott's definition, and I see nothing in my posts in this thread which is inconsistent with that phrasing.

Nor do I. Have I given the contrary impression?
