The Mass Psychology of Partial Disclosure

The Transparent Conspiracy is a collection of essays written between 2006 and 2010, mainly about the 911 and JFK conspiracies and cover up, with a short collection of poems on the same topic. Morrisey’s latest book is a definite departure from other conspiracy literature. Morrissey has no interest in proving or disproving either the 911 or the JFK conspiracy – he feels this territory is well-covered by other authors. The topic of this book is mass psychology. Morrissey believes our government’s propaganda arm (whatever they call it now) is fully aware that a well-managed conspiracy cover-up can have a very intimidating effect, which can be very effective in keeping the public docile and obedient.

The Government Wants Us to Know

Specifically he argues there is major value (from the government point of view) in disclosing a limited amount of information concerning government culpability in atrocities such as the JFK assassination and 911. He bases his view on something he calls “Transparency Theory” – thus his title The Transparent Conspiracy. He says the CIA has long recognized that “telling part of the truth is the best way to lie.” They even have a term for it: “white propaganda.” Morrissey argues that for the government to brazenly commit criminal acts can be quite effective in demoralizing and alienating the tuned-in segment of the population that fully comprehends the corrupt nature of our government institutions.

He then lays out the hypothetical question: if the reality of the 911 conspiracy were widely accepted by the American public, would they be capable of doing anything about it? Morrissey believes that at this point in history they would be powerless (that they lack the power to bring the culprits to trial or even impeach them). Which he contends is a powerful basis for demoralization and alienation.

1. Iran/Contra BCCI

Now how many times does CNN go report that the cia runs the global drug trade and wall street cashes in? Not very freaking much but before 9/11 (about a decade before 9/11) it was not uncommon for nbc/cbs/abc to give detailed reports. Same thing with the 93 wtc bombing and Dan Rather's cbs report. The nwo has been on cruise control for a long time. So far nothing has stopped it....

2. wow, that does sound important!

is it in the fantasy section?


"the mountains of irrefutable evidence that the JFK assassination conspiracy originated at the highest levels of government."

by the way Spooked, it seems you are a plant...

"If you try to propagate some silly myth (no planes crashed that day, or directed energy beams from space brought down the towers) then you are treated like an idiot. Why shouldn't you be? I suspect those ideas come from plants whose may purpose is to be obviously silly and thus provide an easy target vis a vis the 9/11 truth movement."

what kind of game are you playing?

3. Agree . . first time someone told me "No one has the power to bring info forward" ...

I was shocked -- offended!!

But truth is, that's pretty much the case right now --

I will say that I think there has always been a huge threat of violence vs those

trying -- in all of these conspiracies many have died -- not sure about 9/11???

And, as attempts to overturn the JFK coup were ended by violence, those left had

less and less power. It was left to the private community to investigate -- but as

many have said, and as you can see looking back on the info that has come through

much of the info was immediately known re JFK plotters -- immediately, in fact!

Many knew.

It still shocks me -- and I continue to trust that truth will out -- but I think

even Obama right now is proving the right wing/corporates/elites are still in charge!!

4. PS: Think that "white propaganda" used to be called "limited hang-out" ...!!
