Product Description
This important volume brings together rigorous scholarship on the events of 9-11-2001, and assesses whether the truth has been told by the U.S. government. The lead chapter shows that eleven of FBI-named Arabic hijackers could not have been on the planes, while the Dulles airport videotape -- essentially being the case that hijackers boarded flights -- has very serious authentication problems. The next three chapters examine insider trading beforehand and the 9-11 flights themselves, then the evidence -- based partly upon newly-released reports of more than 500 firefighters -- permitting a conclusion that three buildings in the WTC complex were brought down by demolition, followed by discussion of scheduled military drills which confused standard operating procedures, and concluding with a surprising connection to the death of Senator Wellstone, leading critique of the Bush administration.
The third part opens with a chapter looking at the connection between Al-Qaeda and Western covert operations, showing how Al-Qaeda is inseparably connected to the latter. The following chapter shows that Machiavellian state terrorism is rather common and not at all unlikely for 9-11, while the following looks at how the 9-11 Commission wrote its own history, rather than reporting and analyzing true history. The rise of Islamophobia as an ideological force to sustain U.S. imperialism is then introduced. The final chapter, while not explicit, offers a possible connection to the process of undermining pensions in the U.K.
The volume can be seen as a definitive, scholarly explanation of 9-11 as a world-changing event.
Reader Reviews
There is so much crucial information that the 9/11 Commission did not explore, that it is hard to believe it has taken so long for a serious piece of academic criticism like this volume to appear. Within "Hidden History" you will learn about insider trading that the Commission chose to gloss over. You will learn about multiple War Games, "Terror Drills" and military exercises that preceded and took place on 9/11. You will learn about the history of state sponsored terrorism. You will gain new insight into the true nature of al-Qaeda and how it has continued to interface with Western intelligence agencies well after the end of the Cold War. You will learn about geopolitical strategy that could have been dictated by Machiavelli himself, but instead comes from American think-tanks and intellectuals, like Zbigniew Brzezinski and the Project for a New American Century. You will learn how fundamentally flawed the 9/11 Commission was, riddled with conflicts of interest and guided by partisan considerations. There could be ten books like this, replete with extensive footnotes, endnotes and impeccable research. However, roadblocks remain, fueled by misguided skepticism, ideological bias, and agendas that overlap, fusing imperial ambitions with regional desires and corporate deviance. This is the first serious volley from the academic community upon the "official story" of 9/11. There will be more to come.
