Book Description

June 1, 2004
The 9/11 Tragedy: Official Story...or Inside Job? Find out in this startling analysis by a leading investigative journalist.

A Sobering Look at 9/11 as an Inside Job

The official story about 9/11 is discredited. That is the sobering conclusion reached by millions of Americans, all across the political spectrum, who have sifted through the evidence uncovered by hundreds of independent researchers. Many honest citizens are now forced, with sadness and reluctance, to make an almost unthinkable inference:

Powerful US officials must have had foreknowledge of the planned attacks, and then acted from the inside to: thwart efforts to prevent 9/11, remove or cover up criminal evidence, and hamper inquiries into what happened.

Were the horrific events of September 11, 2001 truly an inside job? This book will help you decide for yourself. In this work, world-renowned conspiracy theorist Jim Marrs makes a compelling case that 9/11 marks the intersection of several conspiracies at once, each based on overlapping political agendas. Support for his thesis comes from this sampling of the many disturbing anomalies, cited by Marrs:

• Standard air defense mechanisms systematically failed, simultaneously.
• Interceptor jets were scrambled too late, too slowly, and from the wrong locations.
• President Bush proceeded with a "photo op" long after he knew we were under attack.
• Fires could not have caused the free-fall collapse of the World Trade Center towers.
• The collapse of Building 7 in the complex was later admitted to be a demolition.
• Vital physical evidence was either removed or has never been released to investigators. • Key officials claimed warnings never came, despite massive evidence to the contrary.

Inside Job is the definitive journalistic account of the hidden role of the Bush administration in failing to prevent the 9/11 attacks. The author provides heavy documentation of his findings, plus extensive appendices that include perspectives from families of 9/11 victims, and excerpts from the RICO Act lawsuit filed by 9/11 widow Ellen Mariani.



Editorial Reviews

Review

"Marrs touches on a web of secret agendas in his alarming 9/11 analysis. He may not provide the answers but he certainly challenges the official story and makes us reassess the propaganda we've been fed..." - Nexus, October 2004.

About the Author

A native of Fort Worth, Texas, Mr. Marrs earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in journalism from the University of North Texas in 1966 and attended Graduate School at Texas Tech in Lubbock for two years more. He has worked for several Texas newspapers, including the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, where beginning in 1968 he served as police reporter and general assignments reporter covering stories locally, in Europe and the Middle East. After a leave of absence to serve with a Fourth Army intelligence unit during the Vietnam War, he became military and aerospace writer for the newspaper and an investigative reporter. Since 1980, Mr. Marrs has been a free-lance writer, author and public relations consultant. He also published a rural weekly newspaper along with a monthly tourism tabloid, a cable television show and several videos.

Since 1976, Mr. Marrs has taught a course on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy at the University of Texas at Arlington. In 1989, his book, Crossfire: The Plot That Killed Kennedy, was published to critical acclaim and reached the New York Times Paperback Non-Fiction Best Seller list in mid-February 1992. It became a basis for the Oliver Stone film JFK. Mr. Marrs served as a chief consultant for both the film's screenplay and production.

Beginning in 1992, Mr. Marrs spent three years researching and completing a non-fiction book on a top-secret government program involving the psychic phenomenon known as remote viewing only to have it mysteriously canceled as it was going to press in the summer of 1995. Within two months, the story of military-developed remote viewing broke nationally in the Washington Post after the CIA held a press conference revealing the program but putting their own spin on psychic studies.

In May, 1997, Marrs' in-depth investigation of UFOs, Alien Agenda, was published by HarperCollins Publishers. Mr. Marrs has been a featured speaker at a number of national conferences including the Annual International UFO Congress and the Annual Gulf Breeze UFO Conference. Publisher's Weekly described Alien Agenda as "the most entertaining and complete overview of flying saucers and their crew in years." The paperback edition was released in mid-1998 and has since become the best-selling UFO book ever in the United States. Beginning in 2000, he began teaching a course on UFOs at the University of Texas at Arlington.

In early 2000, HarperCollins published Rule by Secrecy, which traced the hidden history that connects modern secret societies to the Ancient Mysteries. In 2003, his book The War on Freedom probed the conspiracies of the 9/11 attacks and their aftermath.

An award-winning journalist, Mr. Marrs is listed both in Who's Who in the World and Who's Who in America. Mr. Marrs has won several writing and photography awards including the Aviation/Aerospace Writer's Association's National Writing Award and Newsmaker of the Year Award from the Fort Worth Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists. In 1993, Mr. Marrs received Freedom Magazine's Human Rights Leadership Award.

Mr. Marrs has appeared on ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, CSPAN, the Discovery, Learning and History Channels, This Morning America, Geraldo, Montell Williams, Today, Tech TV and The Larry King and Art Bell radio programs along with numerous national and regional radio and TV shows. He is a former president of the Press Club of Fort Worth and a current member of the Society of Professional Journalists, Sigma Delta Chi, and the Investigative Reporters and Editors.

5.0 out of 5 stars Conspiracy or Idiocy? June 10, 2005
Format:Paperback
Mr. Marrs has done it again. An exceptional examination of the various parties involved in 9/11.

Whether you believe that the government was complicit in 9/11 or not, the facts speak for themselves:

* NORAD failed our nation multiple times, NORAD lied about how quickly fighters were deployed.

* The Pentagon does not appear to have been hit by a boeing airliner (and if it was, why won't the FBI release the videos they have? They made us watch the towers over and over again, ad infinitum). If the plane never struck the Pentagon, what happened to it and all the people on it?

* Silverstein, the owner of the World Trade complex, admitted on video to having 'pulled' (construction term for demolished) building 7. He made millions off of the insurance money for the towers. Why has he not been investigated? Who does he know?

* Firefighters repeatedly reporting hearing bombs explode in the towers. Local university seismographs depict seismic activities corresponding with proposed explosion times prior to the towers collapsing much too perfectly.

* Rumsfeld has since slipped on 2 occassions indicating that flight 93 was actually shot down.

* Marvin Bush, the youngest Bush child, was the security head for the World Trade Centers but left his post on September 8th. Why? What did he know? Just another one of the numerous coincidences surrounding the characters involved here. Why no mainstream media coverage of this?

* The quick FEMA clean up of the rubble and dispursemnt to China against the NYC Fire Department's chief's pleas to allow fire experts to examine it. (Why, what is FEMA hiding?)

* 4 non-Arabs arrested at the George Washington bridge morning of 9/11 with explosives. Why have we never heard of this story again?

* What about the put options traded on both American and United weeks prior and days before 9/11? Why no investigation of this by the CFR led 9/11 Commission? Why no SEC investigation?

* What do the black boxes say?

* How did the "terrorists" passports make their way to the streets of New York unharmed after crashing and burning into the towers? Were they planted? Was the Koran they conveniently found in a rental car in the airport with the hijack plans? Give me a break! This is so staged its ridiculous!

* If the towers were so hot, to melt steel as never seen before in the world of building fires or the world of science, how come there are picture after picture of people looking out the holes cause by both airliners? How hot was it really?

* Bush said on 2 public occasions that he watched the first plane strike prior to speaking to children in a class in FL. How? No cameras (outside of the French film which turned up after 9/11) were filming until AFTER the first hit. So who in his group knew to have a camera on the first tower so he could see it going down before the rest of us?

* If the "terrorists" were mostly Saudi Arabian, why have we not attacked Saudi Arabia? Can you say oil? Can you say Bush family business ties. Can you say American economic dependence?

It goes on and on and on. These are all facts. And many leave one wondering. Too many holes, too many lies, political cover ups in the name of National security, etc.

Again, Jim Marrs brings the truth to light. Maybe some day facts will replace half truths and media blackouts. Yeah, and maybe pigs will fly out my butt! Pigs flying - must be a conspiracy, right?

5.0 out of 5 stars Well-documented analysis of the 9-11 events September 15, 2004
Format:Paperback
Jim Marrs is a veteran journalist who isn't afraid to examine topics that are suppressed by institutions of power. In this book, Jim joins the growing number of authors who have challenged the official tale of the events of September 11, 2001, making the case that the evidence points to the attacks being an inside job. The motives, methods, and plans are all presented for the reader, incriminating those in power in the USA. Nearly 3 years after the attacks, Jim Marrs has collected much information [most of which can be quickly found on the Internet on websites of the many independent researchers of 9-11 and related shadowy activities]. One would have to create a very bizarre and improbable conspiracy theory to attempt to deny the main assertion Marrs presents in this book. Jim Marrs deserves credit for collecting the available research and presenting it coherently for the public to examine. Marrs book has garnered the praise of persons such as John "Men Are From Mars" Gray and Catherine Austin Fitts, the whistleblower who has been a victim of those who she once served as assistant housing secretary in the Bush Sr. Administration. Hopefully, more public figures will soon begin to acknowledge the criminal nature of our leaders and encourage the public to reclaim control over the country from the existing power structure. Until then, enjoy books like this one and let the mainstream media folks know that they are merely acting as press-titutes when they spout "official" tales rather than reporting what really happened.

4.0 out of 5 stars "IT'S DEJA VU ALL OVER AGAIN" January 10, 2005
Format:Paperback
When the Constitutional Convention concluded in 1787, it is reported that Benjamin Franklin was asked what sort of government the Founding Fathers had crafted, and Franklin responded, "A republic, if you can keep it." Turns out we couldn't! Most Americans are unaware of the fact that their country has degenerated into an oligarchy.

I remember watching a live TV news broadcast of the September 11th event when a retired Air Force officer called in to the station and asked how it could be that nearly an hour after the first hijacked plane struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center, the skies over Washington D.C. still had NOT been secured, thus making the Flight 77 attack on the Pentagon possible. "It starts already," I thought to myself. What had started already? The suspicion; the weird anomalies; the missing puzzle pieces; the unexpected behavior and the odd lack of expected responses to an emergency of this kind. In short, signs of The Conspiracy manifested early on and were evident to the rare citizen with unusual political acuity.

Few citizens realize that Insider complicity is not only imaginable, but to be expected. It's not like we've broken new ground here! The sinking of the Lusitania which helped to embroil U.S. citizens in the unpopular World War I and the bombing of Pearl Harbor, forcing them into the equally unpopular World War II served as the template for September 11th and its subsequent "War On Terror" in the Middle East. It's deja vu all over again (quoting that immortal yogi, Berra.)

'INSIDE JOB' brings together so many of the unaswered questions surrounding the 9/11 terrorist attacks and presents them in a very sensible and earnest manner. Naturally, those American citizens who have the audacity to raise these serious questions, and worse yet, expect REASONABLE answers from their government representatives, will be dogged by those Americans who interpret this as being "unpatriotic." Never mind; 'INSIDE JOB' raises the pertinent questions, even if it can't definitively answer them :

* Why was President Bush not immediately whisked away from the elementary school where he was speaking when it was known that hijacked planes were in the air and his location was public knowledge?

* Why are a number of N.Y. firefighters convinced that the WTC towers were brought down by strategically placed bombs, and not the steel-melting inferno that has been "sold" to the public?

* Why did Condoleeza Rice lie and say that an attack of this nature was unimaginable when it can be shown that our Intelligence agencies had information many years in advance which indicated that just such an attack was being planned?

[*2005, Feb.1 ADDENDUM: In 1995, the Manila police uncovered an al Qaeda terrorist plot to hijack commercial airliners and fly them into American buildings. The plan was code named "Project Bojinka" and the World Trade Center was specifically mentioned as a target. This information was turned over to U.S. Intelligence authorities. You wouldn't learn this from a person who reviews the book after reading only 20 pages of it, because this information is located on page 55. Of course, 6 years later "Project Bojinka" is carried out, and now some high-ranking American authorities are telling us that the possibility of such an atrocity was unimaginable. Sure!]
[*March 25 ADDENDUM: While I can't speak to the other issues he raised, with all due respect to Mr. Negley, an airliner attack on American landmarks including The World Trade Center WAS conceived by the "Project Bojinka" conspirators. See 'The New American' magazine, Vol. 17, No. 23, November 05, 2001.]

These are just 3 of the many very relevant questions that our government officials have failed to address satisfactorily. You'll find the others in 'INSIDE JOB'; the staggering amount of them will catapult you out of your comfort zone.

While 'INSIDE JOB' presents many nagging questions and points out the great discrepancies in the "official" version of the 9/11 events, the reasons for these will make little sense to the casual reader until he or she has gained a real understanding of the Big Picture. To that end, I likewise also highly recommend 'THE CREATURE FROM JEKYLL ISLAND' by G. Edward Griffin; 'NONE DARE CALL IT TREASON: 25 YEARS LATER' by John Stormer; and 'ORIGINAL INTENT' by David Barton. You may also wish to check out my Amazon guides, 'So You'd Like To READ THE CONGRESSMAN'S CONFESSION ABOUT THE NEW WORLD ORDER' and 'So You'd Like To SEE THE NEW WORLD ORDER IN BLACK & WHITE.'

Since I opened with the wisdom of Benjamin Franklin, I'll also close with it : "Those who are willing to sacrifice their freedoms for a measure of security deserve neither." I guess he means us, huh?
