David Ray Griffin-- a true American Hero

BURLINGTON — For more than four years, the public has repeatedly been urged to ignore “outrageous” conspiracies theories about the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks that set in motion the so-called “war on terrorism.” However, the official explanation that has been provided — and widely embraced — also requires the acceptance of a theory, one involving a massive intelligence failure, 19 Muslim hijackers under the sway of Osama bin Laden, and the inability of the world’s most advanced Air Force to intercept four commercial airplanes.

“A good theory explains most of the relevant facts and is not contradicted,” notes David Ray Griffin, who has been examining the available evidence for the past three years and has so far published two books on the subject. This month, Griffin summarized his findings for more than 1,000 people in four well-attended Vermont talks. The bottom line, he informed a packed house in Burlington on Oct. 12, is that “every aspect of the official story is problematic,” contradicting the available evidence and defying even the laws of physics.

You may well ask, how can this be true? And, if so, why haven’t we heard more about it? The answer to the second question is easy: Mainstream media outlets have consistently declined to examine the highly technical and exhaustively documented case Griffin has developed. That may also sound like a conspiracy theory, but the almost total news blackout of Griffin’s Vermont talks suggests that it’s an unfortunate fact.

Explaining why the official story doesn’t hold water is a bit more difficult, involving a many-layered analysis not easily summarized in sound bytes. Nevertheless, in person Griffin did manage to provide a provocative and persuasive summary of some information in his books, The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions about the Bush Administration and 9/11 and The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions.

3. I hope after Treasongate is solved, we can move on to truth about 9/11

And if Americans are outraged by the outing of
a covert CIA agent and cover of a whole operation
and everyone involved, wait til they find out
the truth about 9/11.

6. We've read both of his books

The New Pearl Harbor goes into great detail about the intricacies of engineering and many other pertinent topics. The 9/11 Report is oriented toward showing how the Commission purposely distorted the record and came to the wrong conclusions to cover up what really happened. If I had to recommend only one of these books to a skeptic, I think I would choose the commission report book. While it touches on the evidence presented in New Pearl Harbor, it mostly cites published accounts and the commission's own statements to show how an official government body covered up the truth. After reading the commission book, the skeptic would be ready to look at the New Pearl Harbor evidence with a fresh attitude.

7. Yes, I agree. Both books are excellent, but the Commission one

may be the best place to start.
