"It will be painful, and disturbing, to turn the pages of this thoughtful and meticulously researched book. But turn we must. For we owe the truth to those who died, and nothing less." — Colleen Kelly, sister of Bill Kelly, Jr., who was killed in the North Tower of the World Trade Center on 9/11, and Co-Founder of September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows...
This is David Ray Griffin's explosive book The New Pearl Harbor - Disturbing Questions about the Bush Administration and 9-11 (2004) which presents an overwhelming abundance of evidence, all of which points to a story of incredible magnitude, namely that the tragic events of 11. september 2001 were not an attack by some fanatical terrorists but were in reality an inside job by powerful globalist forces later cleverly manipulating world press and suppressing evidence to achieve their goals. A philosopher at the Claremont School of Theology, Griffin scrutinizes the time line and physical evidence of September 11 for unresolved inconsistencies. He draws heavily on three similarly skeptical examinations, by Nafeez Ahmed, Paul Thompson and Thierry Meyssan, whose The Big Lie was a bestseller in France. Based on these sources, Griffin maintains that a full investigation of the events of that tragic day is necessary to answer such questions as whether American Airlines Flight 77 did crash into the Pentagon (though many will find it impossible to doubt this) and how United Airlines Flight 93 was downed. He claims that if standard procedures for scrambling fighter jets had been followed, the hijacked planes should have been intercepted in time, and that structurally, the collapse of the World Trade Center towers most likely was caused by explosives placed throughout the towers, not from the plane crashes. He strongly implies that the Bush administration had foreknowledge of the attack and sought to conceal what Griffin suggests was the Pakistani intelligence agency's involvement in the planning for the attacks. His analysis is undergirded by the theory that a significant external threat, on the scale of Pearl Harbor, was very much in the interest of the Bush administration, which he believes is intent on self-interested aggressive foreign policies. Even many Bush opponents will find these charges ridiculous, though conspiracy theorists may be haunted by the suspicion that we know less than we think we do about that fateful day. Noone wants to believe that the U.S. government would commit such heinous acts on 9/11, but Griffin makes a convincing argument that rogue elements in our government could have orchestrated, or at least been complicit with terrorist elements before, during, and after the 9/11 attacks. Griffin sites many sources for his analysis and he invokes many questions. This book puts hundreds of holes in the official story, leaving no stone unturned. Watergate, exposed by Woodward and Bernstein, potentially pales into insignificance in comparison with the implications of the data and arguments offered in this extraordinarily well-researched and clearly written book. 190 pages. A must read for everyone.
