When a number is invested with spooky significance, we’re in Cabala territory.
That’s what happened with 9/11. The three digits 9-1-1, the number Americans use to call their government in case of emergency, became the icon of a “whole new world” based on the foundational myth of the New Pearl Harbor – the event that “changed everything.” Those who staged the 9/11 attacks chose the date for that reason.
Today, every time we hear “9-1-1″ we think of two things at once: The terrible destruction of the World Trade Center, and the “in case of emergency” phone number. The subliminal message: We’re in a state of emergency, and only the government can save us…through pre-emptive wars, torture, drone killings, NSA spying, no more rule of law, Haliburton detention camps, the works. That permanent state of emergency is the “whole new world” Philip Zelikow, the self-professed expert on “the creation and maintenance of public myths,” designed for us when he and unknown others wrote the script for the events of 9/11.
Those 9/11 scriptwriters were cabalists obsessed with the arcane significance of numbers. For example, they made sure there were exactly 911 days between 9/11 and 3/11 (the Madrid bombings).
Today in Israel, it looks like the same cabalists are at it again. My VT colleague Roy Tov, a former Israeli military-intelligence insider, has blown the whistle on them in his new article 3 Boys for the West Bank.

Just cut to the chase here, not wrap it in some hocus pocus…
