Synopsis

Ruppert (publisher and editor of the newsletter From the Wilderness) charges that the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were carried out with the complicity and connivance of officials operating at the highest levels of the US government. He lays out his argument as if it were the prosecutor's case in a criminal trial, in turn addressing motive (geopolitics and the coming problem of "peak oil"); means (including control of the intelligence and aviation bureaucracies and penetration of Al Qaeda); and opportunity (use of wargames to scramble NORAD response times, for example). He concludes with speculation on how the events of 9-11 fit in with larger trends of geopolitics and empire. Much of the material is reprinted from his website, along with additional commentary. Distributed in the US by Consortium Books Sales and Distribution. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

December 16, 2006: Reading this book has really made a deep difference in my life. Ruppert exposes the U.S. Democracy as a soon to be, if not already, fascist state. As Ruppert quotes Mussolini on page 15: 'Fascism should more properly be called corporatism, since it is the merger of the state and corporate power'. I realized after reading this book that U.S. Patriotism is sorely misguided and most of us are misinformed. The media spews B.S. and we are all 'good customers' here in the U.S.A. For me, this book truly changed my view of the world. There is no turning back on it now.

September 27, 2006: By odd ways I came across this book. It was sent to me by mail, but by whom I dont know. I didnt read it right away, but I could not forget this friendly gesture, so one day I opened it, and I am sad to say, suddenly it all made sense.... So, I bought another copy, and I do hope the person who recieved it, one day also finds his time to read it. A miracle of a book. Thanks who ever you are, for this wonderful present!
