Part 4/8:
The conversation around 9/11 also encompasses the broader implications of the military-industrial complex. Dr. Hopper explains that the technological advancements that emerged leading up to and following the attacks have drastically changed the landscape of military research and weaponry development. Government contracts now often overshadow independent scientific inquiry, complicating the relationship between the state, science, and public perception.
In this context, research that questions established narratives surrounding 9/11 gets overshadowed by the overwhelming influence of well-funded government entities and defense contractors. This has led to a situation where genuine inquiry is often dismissed or marginalized when it counters official accounts.
