Vincent Salandria applied this notion, brilliantly and precociously, in 1971 to the JFK assassination. It is from him that I have the term "transparency" to refer to 9/11 because what Salandria said about the JFK assassination can be said in spades about 9/11: "If you are tempted to want to believe that our leaders are just ignorant and capable of unremitting blundering, I urge that you abandon any such illusion."

I don't think Chomsky is the smartest man in the world, and I also know that I am not smarter than he is. But I cannot bring myself to believe that he is on the government payroll or a deep-cover agent of some kind, either. I think he really is brilliant, well informed, and well intentioned, so there is another possibility. Maybe he is trying to tell us something, in code. Maybe he hopes that by saying what is too stupid to believe, we will be smart enough not to believe it.
