Review

"Read this book, then hit the streets and take our country back! Jim Fetzer has put together a fascinating and provocative collection of essays that will contribute significantly to our understanding of 9/11 as an inside job. Those interested in the parallels between the JFK and 9/11 crimes and cover-ups should especially appreciate the chapters by Fetzer and Peter Dale Scott, two of our leading JFK researchers--I wish more college professors had the guts to use their tenure the way these two have!" -- Kevin Barrett: Founder of the Muslim-Jewish-Christian Alliance for 9/11 Truth, author of Truth Jihad, and co-editor of 9/11 and American Empire II

Product Description

Do you believe George W. Bush's account of what happened on 9/11? If so, you're in a small minority--only sixteen percent of Americans, according to a New York Times/CBS poll.

If you belong to the more skeptical and less gullible majority, you'll find The 9/11 Conspiracy a fascinating store of hard facts and rigorous analysis--demonstrating conclusively that the official version just cannot possibly be true.

Why did the Twin Towers, specifically designed to withstand the impact of airliners, completely disintegrate, something that has never happened to any skyscraper building before or since?

Why were there explosions in their sub-basements before the airplanes hit these buildings?

Why did Building 7 come down late that afternoon, even though not hit by any aircraft and enduring no jet-fuel-based fires?

Why does the official story require an aerodynamically impossible flight trajectory for the Boeing 757 alleged to have hit the Pentagon?

The studies collected in The 9/11 Conspiracy answer the crucial questions about the political context, the scientific findings, and why this atrocity occurred. If you want to believe in the Bush administration, you probably shouldn't read it. If you want the truth, you should.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good!, April 18, 2007

By	CB - See all my reviews

A nice compilation of 9/11 Truth material. A great deal of time must have been put into this excellent volume. The Twin Towers were pulverized into powder. This was proven by Dr Judy Wood (former Professor of Mechanical Engineering from Clemson University), who recently filed an official Request For Correction with NIST, and is represented by attorney Jerry Leaphart. As far as whether real commercial planes were used on 9/11: watch the 10 minute video "Octopus 8" on google video/youtube. You will be surprised!

George Bush Sr called for a New World Order in a nationally televised speech on September 11, 1990. Google Video: "bush new world order speech"

5.0 out of 5 stars Controlled demolition beyond reasonable doubt, June 16, 2007

By	Luc REYNAERT (Beernem, Belgium) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This book, written by eminent scholars, explains clearly what every responsible citizen should know about 9/11.

For the editor of this book the events of 9/11 required involvement of the US government at the highest level.

D. R. Griffin debunks the myths created by the powerful ruling class, that our political and military leaders simply would not do such a thing, that there was no motive, that the involvement could not be kept secret, that the airliners could not be intercepted, that the impact of the planes caused the collapsing of 3 mega-buildings or that the 9/11 Commission was independent.

J. Wood proves that the explanation of the collapse of the WTC towers in the 9/11 Commission Report and the NIST is not physically possible.

For J.P. Firmage, the 9/11 events show that the evil exists within the republic.

For M. Reynolds and R. Rajter, everything the government and its controlled media say about 9/11 must be construed as deception.

E. Davidson dissects the `War on Terrorism'. For him, `retail terrorism' is trivial compared to the `wholesale terrorism' committed by states: wars, extreme poverty, hunger, illiteracy, environmental degradation, AIDS, lack of clean water, child mortality.

J.D. Scott draws a comparison between the JFK murder and 9/11. One fact is perfectly clear: `there has been and continues to be a massive cover-up.'

But hardest hitting of them all is J. McMurthy. For him, the war on terrorism became a blank check for corporate corruption, war criminal acts and attacks on civil rights. His cynical conclusion is that geostrategically, `decisions are perfectly indifferent to loss of life as long as it advances US investment interests and military control to defend them.'



This book is not less than a controlled demolition of all US governmental reporting on the 9/11 massacre.

It is a must read for all those interested in the functioning of current world powers and in the future of mankind.

5.0 out of 5 stars Scientific, necessary, April 26, 2007

By	Secrets & Lies (Melbourne, VIC, AU) - See all my reviews

What kind of connotation does the expression "conspiracy theory" give you?

If a you get a negative connotation, you should know that according to the dictionary, a "conspiracy" is "an agreement to perform together an illegal, wrongful, or subversive act". You should also know that the U.S. governments official explanation of 9/11 events involve a conspiracy theory. According to the Bush administration, a group of Muslims had conspired to bring about a large-scale tragedy against the American people. This book shows why this official "conspiracy theory", propagated by the U.S. government, cannot be correct.

Since after Charles Darwin wrote his "On the Origin of Species", the theory of evolution has been resisted by people who believe that humankind is the result of creation. What would you think has been one of the most effective weapons in the hands of those wanting to promote the evolution theory? It is to depict the evolution theory as the more scientific and intellectually reasonable alternative.

This book provides exactly that regarding the events of 9/11: a more scientific and intellectually reasonable alternative to the official "conspiracy theory".

Contrary to what may be inferred from some other reviews, I want to add here that the terms "energy weapon", "beam weapon", "star wars", or "dustified" do not occur in this book. I actually bought the book because I saw a youTube video about a talk given by Jim Fetzer, where he referred to the POSSIBILITY that some sort of a high energy weapon was used to demolish the buildings. I was hoping that he would have elaborated on such weapons in the book (because I thought it would be cool to read about them) but he did not. I have went through the book several times because of hoping to find at least one reference to anything like that, but no luck. Perhaps it is in one of the copious footnotes, which I have largely skipped. By the way, whether he refers to any novel weapons is something you can check for yourself by searching for specific terms with the Amazon 'search inside' feature.

Another issue is that Jim Fetzer is not the only author on this book; besides being the editor of the book, he wrote only one of the chapters (chapter 2). This chapter discusses, among other things, the possibility that the WTC towers fell due controlled demolitions. Jim states (on p. 52) that "there appears to be at least ten features of the collapse of the Twin Towers that are expectable effects of controlled demolitions" [sic]. He lists following 9 of these:
A. the buildings fell at about the rate of free fall
B. both buildings collapsed virtually straight down
C. almost all concrete was turned into very fine dust
D. the collapses were complete, leaving virtually no steel columns standing
E. photographic records of the collapse show "demolition waves" occurring just ahead of the collapsing floors
F. most of the steel beams fell in sections 30' to 40' feet in length
G. firemen reported hearing sequences of explosions
H. seismological events were recorded coincident with aircraft impacts
I. pools of molten metal were observed in the subbasements after the event

In other words, Jim Fetzer does not claim that the STEEL was pulverized; he says that most of the CONCRETE was pulverized.

Then there's the case of whether airplanes actually hit the WTC buildings or not. This is discussed in detail in chapter 6 ("Some Holes in the Plane Stories"), written by Morgan Reynolds and Rick Rajter.

Another good book about the 9/11 tragedy is "Towers of deception", which takes a deeper look at media complicity and false flag operations:
Towers of Deception: The Media Cover-up of 9/11

Alternatively, if you are interested of reading how the media is used to propagate propaganda regarding the state of the U.S. economy, check out chapter 2 in the book "Crash Proof":
Crash Proof: How to Profit From the Coming Economic Collapse (Lynn Sonberg Books)

For another take on why evidence points to the use of explosives in connection with WTC collapse, do a web search for the document "Why Indeed Did the WTC Buildings Completely Collapse?", written by Dr. Steven Jones. Steven is a physicist and archaeometrist and worked for Brigham Young University before retiring in 2006.
