More Academics Challenge the Official Story

"This definitive volume brings together scholars and students of 9-11-2001 in a sustained effort of critical research on the events of that day, and assesses whether or not the truth has been told by the U.S. government. It further explains the context of 9-11, with particular reference to the American state but also the U.K. state. The evidence presented will cause those with an open mind to fear for the world’s future, were we to remain on the present course."

So says the blurb on the back of Elsevier’s new volume, The Hidden History of 9-11-2001. This is an accurate description of the book. I have written a review for a general readership here. You can view chapter abstracts from Elsevier here.

For the serious researcher who has read extensively about 9/11, the real nuggets in the book are: 1) The now published opinion, by a Professor of Economics, that “there is evidence of insider trading” preceding 9/11. 2) The expository deconstruction of the 9/11 Commission which destroys any notion of “impartiality” in its shoring up of a “public myth”. 3) Careful, thorough, documentation of state-sponsored terror, & the failure of leading lights of the Left to come to grips with this reality. 4) Nafeez Ahmed’s tour de force essay, "Terrorism and Statecraft: Al-Qaeda and Western Covert Operations after the Cold War", some of his best work is in this book.

There are two members of ST911 in this volume, the rest are not affiliated, as far as I know. This book establishes a benchmark for future scholarly analysis of 9/11. It also lays a beach-head for volumes coming down the pipe; Griffin and Scott’s “9/11 And The American Empire: Intellectuals Speak Out”, and MUJCA’s 9/11 and American Empire: Christians, Jews and Muslims Speak Out.

1. Thanks for the heads up and review -- something strange also ...

An ad for this book is on the front page of DU's discussion boards! The tide is changing!

2. We should use this book the same way OCT'ers use NIST/FEMA/911C

You know how the one OCT'er answers questions about the Pentagon by simply referring to the NIST report? We should return the favor. You know how the "actor" OCT'er answers by citing the FEMA report? Ditto.

It could even be fun with certain of the more outrageous disruptors.
