Best book on the story behind 9/11. I have read several. Ahmed has done a mass of good work digging up the details and following leads. He reveals a very murky tale, probably because the "authorities" seem to have done a terrific smokescreen job. If no more than 10% of what Ahmed says is true, you & I, John Citizen, have a dreadful problem with them. He has done another book on London's 7/7 attack, and found another bag of worms. Too many conflicting official "stories". Impossible "coincidences". Overwhelming evidence of facilitation among the highest levels. Israeli agents living in the same street as the 9/11 hijackers, quietly deported without arrest. Money paid by Pakistani ISI top brass to Mohammad Atta's bank account in USA. Known al Qa'eda sympathizers and Saudi nationals, including known relatives of bin Laden, flown out of USA immediately after 9/11 when all other flights still grounded, without even questioning, despite FBI's fury. Unbelievable stance that Air Force and Fed Aviation Auth "not in communication", despite having a direct link. Automatic interception by fighters practised every day for years, requiring no special authorization, routinely intercept "odd" flight paths, but denied on Sept 11. Disappearance of "commander-in-chief" at crucial decision time. On the day everyone behaved as though sedated. A masterpiece of deliberately organized chaos.
Why ? Qui bono ? Took brakes off war on Iraq (a money mine for dodgy contractors associated with ruling elite) -- when Iraq never had ANY connection with 9/11. Allowed predeveloped law on "homeland security" to be flashed into law, removing more public freedom overnight than the ruling elite had managed to steal in decades. Created a "War on Terror" to replace the Cold War -- wonderful idea, 'cos how will we ever know we have won ? Arms industry delighted with budget greater than during Cold War. Criminal drug trade delighted with Middle Eastern chaos to screen opium production in Afghanistan and Pakistan, exported through less restrictive Russia. Oil industry delighted with price hikes and spikes -- so good for insider traders. These giant criminal industries need these giant scams to create business ; they make so much money they are richer than governments, whom they can buy. Ask yourself, was Pearl Harbor a successful scam, a blueprint for 9/11 ? Was the 2007/8 banking crash an "organized disaster" ? Is global warming REALLY worth all the taxpayers' money going into private industry to "avert" it ?
If a conspiracy is a group of people getting together and discussing plans in secret that will aggrandize themselves at the expense of certain others, then all governments are by definition conspiracies. It's just that we are taught to believe they are "ours". But ARE they batting for us ?
If you believe the "official" line on all this stuff, I have a lovely bridge in Australia I can give you a really good deal on . . .
Buy this book. And do read Orwell's "1984" comparatively with it. Not that there's any parallel. Of course. RJS
