Replete with esoteric symbols, conspiracy research certainly warrants semiotic examination. Although fraught with historical flaws and theological distortions, The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown acknowledges the value of semiotics in studying the conspiratorial world. In fact, the novels central character is a semiotician specializing in symbology. Evidently, Brown recognized the potential of semiotics in analyzing the coded messages of cabals occupying historys darker corners. September 11th is one such corner that is worth semiotic analysis.
Numerous researchers like Michael Ruppert and Dennis Cuddy have done an excellent job compiling the evidence of government complicity in 9-11. Recapitulating their arguments is not the purpose of this article. However, it is this researchers contention that there is a supranational power elite positioned above the political machinations of national governments. It was this supranational elite that created Bin Laden and, through strategically placed surrogates, de-activated portions of Americans national security apparatus that could have prevented 9-11. Commenting on this supranational elite, Professor Keller explains: "Like a secret society, those at the top rarely reveal the inner workings of their worlds" (3).
Semiotics could provide the Rosetta Stone to deciphering the esoteric language of the elite, particularly the subtle messages that they embedded within the events of 9-11. This article shall semiotically dismantle the early media reports that NBC broadcasted on September 11, 2001. It is this authors contention that these early reports, working intertextually with sci-fi films of previous years, helped the power elite to impose a politically expedient narrative paradigm upon 9-11.

okay.
Yes indeed, any work that cites the creator of Star Trek and Lyndon LaRouche in the bibliography is certainly posessing intellectual heft.

You know, it's rude to post while you're on drugs if you're not going to share.
*AHEM*
So, whaddaya think of all that?
semizotic
They are watching you.....
And not to mention, total fiction.
The book and theories that it is based upon especially "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" is absolutely laughable with its theories and house-of-cards logic.
Might as well start a scientology cult up based on a bad science fiction novel...
And welcome to Free Republic! I believe your stay will be brief though...
I'd really like to know.
"Dan Brown acknowledges the value of semiotics"
I however do not acknowledge the value of semidiots.
