Dr. David Ray Griffin revises and extends his groundbreaking first 9/11 book, The
New Pearl Harbor, in a second volume. It follows closely on the heels of his 9/11
Contradictions - An Open Letter to Congress and the Press, also published this year.
In that book, he presented 25 direct contradictions - instances in the official account
where there are unexplained major conflicts between the evidence and what the U. S.
Government - in the form of the Commission - would have us believe.
With this work, Dr. Griffin cements his place as the pre-eminent spokesperson for
the growing number of people who demand answers to an expanding list of questions
about 9/11 - answers that can only come from a thorough and truly impartial
investigation of the largest unsolved crime in our history.
The latest in an impressive line of 9/11 works, this book updates, corrects, and
extends the account in The New Pearl Harbor, following the structure of that book,
making a number of corrections to the record, but adding a great deal of detail and new
information that has been uncovered since its publication in 2004. Even those members
of the 9/11 Truth Movement who have immersed themselves thoroughly in the subject
will find new information here, presented in the precise, and very readable style Dr.
Griffin has brought to each of his books on the subject. Readers who are new to the
subject would do well to start with the first volume, since it still provides one of the best
presentations of the basic facts available. Readers experienced with 9/11 analysis and
research in all its forms, likely will not be astonished by revelations in this work - our
capacity to be surprised has been somewhat dulled by the daily parade of insults to
intelligence that pass for governance in the era of Bush, but they will be gratified by the
well-researched detail and rational arguments that are hallmarks of Dr. Griffin's work.
In "Revisited", to pick an example, the section dealing with the information brought
out by the London Sunday Times on Sibel Edmonds, who defied a gag order to expose
corruption, espionage, high-level protection of foreign agents, and proliferation of
nuclear technology - all studiously ignored by the domestic media - is a grim illustration
of the debased state to which our "free press" has devolved. The quiet deconstruction of
former Solicitor General Ted Olson's report, in which he related details about the alleged
hijacking of Flight 77 based on phone calls that the FBI now claims did not occur,
should have caused headlines in the Washington Post, but at least the record is
corrected here.
As in his previous book - 9/11 Contradictions and its predecessors - he presents
evidence that exposes the inadequacies and sometimes the mendacity of the official
explanation, as represented by the 9/11 Commission Report and the thinning ranks of
its defenders. In doing so, his primary focus is on those incompatibilities between the
official account and the public record, or instances where the public record has been
manipulated or distorted to bolster a misleading view of events.
The already long list of inconsistencies, impossibilities, unexplained conflicts, circular
arguments, and downright contradictions in the Commission's official conspiracy theory
is further burdened by another heaping helping with this volume. Were the media the
least bit interested in the pursuit of the true story of 9/11, the official story and the
actions enabled by the passive acceptance of it by a fearful public and a cowed
Congress would most likely have already collapsed.
The Truth movement, in which Dr. Griffin has played a leading, perhaps dominant
role, has brought forward a very large body of evidence buried or omitted by the
commission ostensibly assembled to investigate the event. The efforts of the media
establishment to confine knowledge and public discourse about this evidence to a
counter-culture ghetto have been remarkably effective. When the subject does surface
in the mainstream, it is subjected to ridicule and dismissal with the inevitable ready-
made pejorative "conspiracy theory", which is invariably applied to non-approved
versions of events, discouraging the average citizen from taking it seriously. In this
book, and several others, it is made clear that the government version is, itself, no less
a conspiracy theory, and a far-fetched one at that. Dr. Griffin, in his books and with an
energetic lecture schedule, is doing his part and more to break out of this ghetto. His
calm and rational examination of the matter does him and the movement great credit.
The secrecy with which the current administration conducts itself, and its
documented efforts to propagate self-serving propaganda, do nothing to inspire
confidence that they have dealt, or will ever deal, with the issues of 9/11 with any more
integrity than they showed in the buildup to the invasion of Iraq. On the contrary, the
way the administration has dealt with 9/11 appears more and more an inseparable part
of a strategy to establish the "War on Terror" as a brand name for a long-term imperial
foreign policy. As it stands, the most charitable possible reading of administration
actions and the subsequent Commission Report is as a criminal coverup that makes
Watergate look like a tea party.
With the cooperation of a supine press and a complicit Congress, and despite what
appears to be breathtaking incompetence emanating from the top, the machinery of
empire grinds forward, appearing to have Iran in its sights. This book throws more sand
in the gears of that machinery. A great many in the Truth movement believe that the key
to stopping the endless chain of war, infringements on our rights, and human rights
abuses, all committed in our name and allegedly to keep us "safer", is exposure of the
truth about 9/11 and holding those who are truly responsible to account. Absent a
revival of investigative journalism - a dim prospect at best, in view of the media
ownership concentration - books like this one, arming the informed citizen with solid
information and providing a basis for demanding direct action, appear to be our best
hope.
