Product Description

Product Description

Practically from the moment the dust settled in New York and Washington after the attacks of September 11, a movement has grown of survivors, witnesses, and sceptics who have never quite been able to accept the official story. When theologian David Ray Griffin turned his attention to this topic in his book "The New Pearl Harbor (2003)", he helped give voice to a disquieting rumble of critiques and questions from many Americans and people around the world about the events of that day. Were the military and the American FAA really that incompetent? Were the American intelligence-gathering agencies really in the dark about such a possibility? In short, how could so much go wrong at once, in the world's strongest and most technologically sophisticated country? Both the US government and the mainstream media have since tried to portray the 9/11 truth movement as led by people who can be dismissed as "conspiracy theorists" able to find an outlet for their ideas only on the internet. This volume, with essays by intellectuals from Europe and North America, shows this caricature to be untrue. Coming from different intellectual disciplines as well as from different parts of the world, these authors are united in the conviction that the official story about 9/11 is a huge deception manufactured to extend imperial control at home and abroad.

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful exposé of a deepening mystery, 30 Aug 2009
By AD (the UK) - See all my reviews
David Ray Griffin is the author of "The New Pearl Harbor" and a leading 9/11 investigator and lecturer. He and his colleagues, including some well-known names in the 9/11 Truth Movement, like Steven Jones and Kevin Ryan, put the case under the microscope and bring their powerful intellects to bear on the subject.

Evidence in homicide cases generally falls into place with the passage of time, but since the horrific events of that day, the mystery has deepened and the official explanation of the events has been shown to be deeply flawed, to say the least.

One by one the contributors in their various ways show that the explanations given out by the mainstream media simply do not stand up under detailed scrutiny.

For example - and in many peoples' minds the most glaring inaccuracy of the official account - how could the impacts and the conventional fires that followed, cause the buildings to collapse almost straight down and at virtually free-fall speed? A "pancake" collapse could not have caused roughly 80 floors to disappear in the space of about 10 seconds - that's 8 floors every second. There would have been steel and debris lurching, toppling and haphazardly falling all around. Instead there was a smooth descent of the structures usually seen only in controlled demolition.

As pointed out by Steven Jones, the existence of molten metal several weeks after the events, is completely illogical. It is a fact that conventional fire cannot exceed, and never has exceeded, about 1700 degrees Fahrenheit. Steel does not even begin to melt until it reaches 2,800 degrees. The only explanation, he argues, is that explosives such as thermite, must have been used. There have been previous cases of fire in high-rise steel-framed buildings, which burned for much longer than the World Trade Centre, and remained standing. Another important consideration is the fact that most of the content of the buildings appears to have been turned to dust - pulverised. Would conventional fire have caused this?

Karen Kwiatkowski was present at the Pentagon that day and gives a graphic first-hand account of the events. Along with many others, she observed a neat hole in the building about 20 feet across. Not the sort of impact damage one would expect a fully loaded 757 or 767 airliner to make. Then there was the distinct lack of large-scale debris and carnage outside the building. Her inescapable conclusion, along with many others, was that a missile had impacted The Pentagon.

Other contributors then go on to deal with the possibility of a deliberate staging of an apparent terrorist attack in order to justify the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan. Who would have the motive to carry out such an operation and who would benefit the most from the military expansion that followed?

There are many other facets of the case dealt with in this book, too detailed to cover in any review - the reader simply has to weigh it all up and make up his or her own mind as to what explanations could have been true or false.

One thing can be said for sure - the case of the 9/11 attacks continues to be an enigma, wrapped in a riddle, shrouded in mystery. Some of the conclusions in this book are frightening, even unbelievable, but they are inescapable.

In the words of Paul Craig Roberts, former Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Treasury: "The book's call for a truly independent panel of experts to be empowered to bring out the true facts must be heeded, or Americans will never again live under accountable government".
