9-11 Synthetic Terror: Made in USA
by Webster Griffin Tarpley,
Terrorism Expert
This book provides an urgent answer to the failure of the US intelligence
agencies, the Congressional Joint Inquiry, and the Kean-Hamilton 9-11
Commission to discover the basic facts in the September 2001 terror attacks.
The author starts from the official myth of 9-11 - nineteen Arab hijackers, al
Qaeda, Osama Bin Laden, the laptop in the cave in Afghanistan - and shows how
this myth was fabricated during the ten days after 9-11 by media leaks from
George Tenet and Richard Clarke, remarks by Colin Powell, and Bush's September
20 address to Congress. In the meantime, each of these figures has been
repeatedly caught blatantly lying about Iraq and other subjects, and it is
high time their lies about 9-11 be exposed.
After a reality check to establish that
no proof for the official
account of 9-11 has ever been forthcoming, the author develops a
theory of international terrorism based on the experience of the Kennedy
assassination, the Red Brigades, the Baader-Meinhof group, and other recent
cases.
International terrorism - including 9-11 - is overwhelmingly the
product of intelligence agencies, he argues, pointing out the roles of patsies
and fall-guys, of networks of moles inside the government and the media, of
anonymous professionals who actually carry out the atrocities the public sees,
and of secret command cells in privatized paramilitary settings.
Using this framework, Tarpley proceeds to analyze a score of points at which
the official account of 9-11 is absurd, contradictory, highly suspicious, or
just physically impossible. Answering objections, the author shows that such
vital ideas in American history as the Declaration of Independence, Lincoln's
House Divided Speech, and the 1860 Republican Party platform would be
classified as conspiracy theories by the self-appointed neocon guardians of
orthodoxy today.
Tarpley outlines the long history of terrorism as a tool to manipulate
public opinion in favor of war and dictatorship, from Guy Fawkes to
the Maine to Operation Northwoods. Through his famous spot resolutions which
rejected the Polk administration's official account of the outbreak of the
Mexican War, the figure of Abraham Lincoln emerges to exemplify the classical
American demand for truth and rejection of government manipulation.
The book concludes with a survey of the November 2004 presidential election in
the U.S. and the geopolitical struggle between U.S. expansionist neo-cons and
the Russian federation; it is the first book to place 9/11 within an ongoing
Cold War context.
