In 2004, David Ray Griffin published The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions about the Bush Administration and 9/11. Translated into several languages, it helped spark a worldwide movement demanding "9/11 truth." Even as it became increasingly outdated, it continued to be widely cited as the best introduction to the issues.
Griffin has now written The New Pearl Harbor Revisited, which provides a chapter-by-chapter updating of the information provided in that earlier book. It shows that the case against the official account constructed by independent researchers - who now include architects, engineers, physicists, pilots, politicians, and former military officers - is far stronger than it was in 2004, leaving no doubt that 9/11 was a false-flag operation, designed to give the Bush-Cheney administration a pretext to attack oil-rich Muslim nations.
Taken together, these two books provide everything one needs to make an informed decision about 9/11 - whether one is a journalist, a political leader, a religious leader, or an ordinary citizen concerned about truth, democracy, and the rule of law.
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. Author and professor Griffith (9/11 Contradictions: An Open Letter to Congress and the Press) knows his work is referred to by officials and the media as conspiracy theory, and he has a rebuttal: "the official theory is itself a conspiracy theory." In this companion volume to 2004's The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions About the Bush Administration and 9/11, Griffith provides corrections, raises new issues and discusses "the two most important official reports about 9/11," the 9/11 Commission Report and the National Institute of Standards and Technology report on the Twin Towers, both "prepared by people highly responsive to the wishes of the White House" and riddled with "omission and distortion from beginning to end." Griffith addresses many points in exhaustive detail, from the physical impossibility of the official explanation of the towers' collapse to the Commission's failure to scrutinize the administration to the NIST's contradiction of its own scientists to the scads of eyewitness and scientific testimony in direct opposition to official claims. Citing hundreds, if not thousands, of sources, Griffith's detailed analysis is far from reactionary or delusional, building a case that, though not conclusive, raises enough valid and disturbing questions to make his call for a new investigation more convincing than ever.

"Detailed and deeply unnerving... For anyone who doubts the government's truthfulness regarding the WTC terrorist attack, this well-researched volume will give you a trough full of ideas to chew on." -- --Publishers Weekly on Debunking 9/11 Debunking (starred review)<br ><br >"The 9/11 Commission air brushed our great tragedy and David Ray Griffin has done the most thorough and painstaking analysis of how it applied those brush strokes and presents meticulous details of its cover-up and the questions regarding 9/11 that must be answered by a thorough investigation, lest our country be rendered meaningless by future repetitions." -- --Edward Asner<br ><br >"Circuses use people to clean up their elephants--a dirty job, but someone has to do it. The 9/11 Commissioners evidently likened themselves to circus workers, cleaning up after the (Republican) elephant. They did a very sloppy job, making it easy to see that 9/11 was an inside job. The contrary view--that the 9/11 attacks were perpetrated by Arab Muslims--has been the source of innumerable evils, which threaten to destroy our country and the world itself. David Griffin's New Pearl Harbor Revisited contains everything needed by Congress and the press to see through the most massive crime and cover-up in our history." -- --Edward Asner, actor and citizen <br ><br >"Citizens in many countries are waging a war on the cover-up of the basis for the so-called war on terror--this basis being the official interpretation of the 9/11 attacks. Along with the Internet, which has equipped both public figures and ordinary citizens to wage this war on the cover-up, David Ray Griffin has revealed dozens of omissions, distortions, and contradictions in the official story in a way that provides undeniable evidence of its falsity. The New Pearl Harbor Revisited presents a powerful exposé of the false narrative that has been driving the mainstream political agenda since 9/11. It is now up to politicians and journalists around the world to expose this truth to our peoples." -- --Yukihisa Fujita, member of the House of Councilors, the Diet of Japan <br ><br >"David Ray Griffin stands at the center of one of the most impressive citizen research projects in history. In this superb new volume, he draws together a great quantity of recent evidence and demonstrates beyond question the fraudulent nature of the official account of 9/11." -- -- Dr. Graeme MacQueen, Founder of McMaster University's Center for Peace Studies<br ><br >"Mr. Griffin has again painstakingly laid bare the many lingering questions and inconsistencies of the official story regarding the horrific attacks of September 11, 2001. Sadly, millions of taxpayer dollars have been squandered on investigations that yielded no accountability, few answers, and fewer reforms. Yet, the attacks of September 11, 2001 have been wantonly used as political and policy fodder. Without truth, there can be no accountability. Without accountability, there can be no real change. Without change, we remain at risk." -- --Monica Gabrielle, widow of Richard Gabrielle, who was killed at WTC2 on 9/11/01, member of the Family Steering Committee for the 9/11 Commission<br ><br >"President Bush and Vice President Cheney have many questions to answer in light of this book. This time they should have to testify separately and under oath. Unlike their testimony at the 9/11 Commission, behind closed doors, this should be open testimony." -- --Jesse Ventura, Governor of Minnesota, 1999-2003
"Nowhere is it clearer that truth is now considered quaint, obsolete here in Washington, than in the disingenuous non-answers to questions about the cavernous holes in the official version of 9/11---and the flippant attempts to marginalize intrepid souls like David Ray Griffin, branded `blasphemous' by the likes of Tucker Carlson. Facing straight into this rancid wind, Griffin now provides a definitive account that updates and integrates his earlier findings. Will Congress ever authorize an honest investigation of the seminal event of our time?" --Ray McGovern, former CIA analyst and presidential briefer

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, fact based research that describes the real 911 crime!Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2017
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
David Gray Griffin is a extremely articulate, factual-based and intellectual writer. I have enjoyed this book a lot. It's too bad the corporate media and American citizens aren't open to discussion when it comes to 911. They've made up their mind and anything other than the official government narrative is considered heresy. That is the major irony because there is a mountain of evidence, facts, documents, witnesses, videos etc. that completely contradicts the big lie and crime. Hopefully one day there will be a breakthrough and people will take it as seriously as they well should. Until then I hope to David Ray Griffin continues to fight the good fight.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything You Always Wanted to Know about 9/11 (But Were Afraid to Ask)Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2015
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
The New Pearl Harbor, or Everything You Always Wanted to Know about 9/11 (But Were Afraid to Ask)
As a result of careful media spinning, the bizarre and unfounded notion of American exceptionalism, and overwhelming ignorance to any contradicting facts (be it self-willed or not), the majority of Americans still believe Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda were responsible for the 9/11 attacks. The people who still believe the ‘official story’ generally fall into three categories: 1) Patriots who still believe that America is ‘the land of the free and the home of the brave.' 2) Those who accept what their leaders tell them without a thought given to their various agendas and biases. 3) Those who react violently (emotionally) to any sort of ‘conspiracy theory’ in fear that what they’re spouting might actually be true. These three groups are in no way mutually exclusive. In fact, overlap is pretty much guaranteed. The main advantage that these people have over the ‘Truthers’ (a term that should not be a pejorative, but for some reason is) is that they don’t have to argue with facts. They can simply call the opponent a delusional nut-job and end things at that. It’s the burden of Truthers to lay down a compelling argument contrary to the ‘official story,’ and retired professor David Ray Griffin presents in two carefully researched volumes a wealth of damning evidence supporting not only American complicity of the September 11th attacks, but overall orchestration.
Griffin is an academic above all and is in no way a representation of the stereotypical conspiracy theorist whose dimly-lit basement walls are collaged with newspaper articles and yarn. He’s simply an educated man in search of the objective truth, as every American should be. Taking a level-headed and emotionally-detached look at the massive and varied array of evidence disproving the ‘official story,’ Griffin systematically shreds every single strand of the government’s poorly spun web of lies. He dissects the impossibility of the attacks themselves, rightfully concluding that all signs point to false-flag instead of the purported ‘massive communication breakdown’ as a result of incompetence (although incompetence was certainly in the cards when it came to the sloppy conception of the ‘official story.’) Beyond the highly incriminating and contradictory evidence presented by the government and media about the events of 9/11, Griffin culls both pre and post-9/11 history and collects the undeniable motives of perpetrating such a heinous crime and contrasts them with the results of Bush’s ‘War on Terror.’ He sheds light on the fact that the 9/11 commission investigating the attacks was 100% bias and government orchestrated. Along with this, Griffin presents a cast of tragic heroes, government workers who were bullied and silenced in their attempts to take an objective look at 9/11. Furthermore, he uses historical precedent (the thankfully abandoned Operation Northwoods, the sinking of the USS Maine) as a device to help the reader understand that the government is not above harming innocent civilians as a pretext for military action. All of these points and more are the building blocks of Griffin’s book, yet he doesn’t stop at these broad highlights. His in-depth and tireless research can be clearly seen in the 1000+ citations used in the book’s creation. Reading The New Pearl Harbor volumes and The 9/11 Commission Report back-to-back, it’s obvious Griffin’s research and objective standpoint make a far more compelling argument than the heavily-biased, narrow-minded, and government-backed Commission Report.
The New Pearl Harbor is probably the most important work of modern non-fiction not to be recognized by the general public. Why, one might ask, is this so? Simply put, Griffin doesn’t dance around the obvious like many political writers tend to do. Many commercially successful books have been written about the corrupt Bush administration and the oil agenda of the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq, but while these writers seem very open to the widely publicized corruption and greed of the American Government in the Middle East, they neglect crucial facts about the event that kicked it all off. Why don’t they challenge the 9/11 ‘official story’ of the government they openly criticize as corrupt? Because they would be challenging the beliefs of over half of our nation, and that kind of reporting doesn’t sell books on a mass scale. Of course All the President’s Men was a huge hit, but Watergate was a kind of scandal that people could believe the government was capable of having perpetrated. 9/11, on the other hand, is a comparatively enormous scandal that blocks the common sense of Americans due to its sheer magnitude. We don’t want to believe it’s true, so we ignore any evidence that it might be. That’s why The New Pearl Harbor isn’t a bestseller, and that’s why wholly honest reporting is doomed unless reporters and writers can put ego, popularity, and financial gain on the back burner and focus on the unadulterated truth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Every American Should Read This Book!Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2015
Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
Every American should read this book because the questions it raises have still not been answered sufficiently by our government. If you care about democracy, and your freedom, and the truth, read Griffin's book. Then you will have the right to sit at the table and take part in the debate about what happened on 9/11; otherwise your views are only opinions. Democracy and freedom and truth are not things that you automatically inherit simply because you are an American: you have to work for them, monitor them, and speak up against those who are determined to diminish them in order to further their own personal interests. Each generation must take up the process all over again . . . because as a people, if we don't, we forget what democracy, freedom, and truth are and what the generations before us had to do in order to maintain them.

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
the book really got bogged down into hairsplitting on minor details about problems with the government sponsored story, instead of focusing on the bigger picture and it did not speak at all about the most important question which is who the author really believed was responsible for this attack and it was a rather boring read. on the plus side this book was very well researched and it cited all the sources which supported his arguments, which were very convincing. on the whole, however chris bolyns book, solving 911 : the deception that changed the world , is a far better book, its more interesting, and it very convincingly showed who was the party behind the attack, which was Israel and pro Israeli jewish supporters in the US government

The New Pearl Harbor Revisited: 9/11.... contains a massive amount of research and fact-checking. The extent and detail shown in the footnotes and index give support to any of us wishing to learn more about events surrounding the 9/11 disaster.
I have considerable respect for the incredible time and effort required to fact-check previous sources about 9/11.
You may already know all about this event. I also thought I was well informed about it. Well........not so much.
I would strongly recommend this book and others by David Ray Griffin on the 9/11 events dealing with the twin towers and also
Building # 7. You might become as shocked as I am.

I so admire David Ray Griffin's total attention to every detail as he wades through a ton of information and brings it all together to make his case. It's very satisfying for me, a sex educator who also searches for truth as I teach women about their orgasmic capabilities that far exceed anything "suggested" by academics from Sigmund Freud to the present day.

I enjoyed reading this book although it was extremely difficult to keep track of all the names of those involved. Do I believe the book? That is the question and the answer must be that even if half of it was true then this was undoubtedly an inside job but that in itself raises the next question, why has no one faced prosecution for what is a crime committed by a Goverment against its own ? Personally I believe something sinister brought down those three buildings, something very powerful and very sinister and the truth will remain buried for a very long time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent ExposéReviewed in the United Kingdom on September 12, 2011

Once again the author brings his analytical skills to bear on the latest information and developments in the tragic events of 9/11/01. The additional information he has gleaned since his last work has only reinforced the doubt and extreme suspicion of the "official conspiracy theory" as to what happened. Best examples are the near free-fall descent of the buildings, inexplicable as conventional fire and collapse, especially Building 7 which was not even hit by any aircraft; the alleged impact of a Boeing jetliner into the Pentagon which left virtually no wreckage; the alleged cell-phone calls from 30,000 feet which, given the technology available in 2001, were a physical impossibility; and so on.
Mr Griffin leaves no stone unturned, and the more I read this book, the more angry I felt that the cover-up that was undoubtedly placed over the whole affair, is still in place 10 years later. Whilst I suspect that there may well have been a plot hatched by terrorists, it seems clear to me that someone somewhere picked up on the plot and ensured that it was carried through to its conclusion. Other authors, notably Webster Tarpley, have examined the possibility that 9/11 was some kind of attempted coup d'état, and this is quite possible in the light of the fact that security codes were known to the perpetrators in making their threats to Air Force 1.
The strange coincidence of the "mock terror drills" that were taking place the same day, whereby false blips were placed on ATC screens, is also covered here. It seems that maximum confusion was placed on the system which, for example, enabled "something" to impact the Pentagon without let or hindrance. The confiscation and hiding of the complete CCTV evidence at the Pentagon, which must be in existence somewhere, surely is a massive indication of some sort of covert activity.
The list of anomalies goes on and on, the story put out by the mainstream media remains in place, as does the ridicule and contempt heaped upon those like Griffin, Tarpley, Jones and others, who are merely trying to establish the truth as to what happened. The glaring omissions and inaccuracies of the 9/11 Commission only serve to heighten the suspicions of the public at large.
As time goes on, of course, memories will dim and the events will be consigned to history. A similar process happened with the Kennedy assassination. There is still a lot of material, however, coming out of the woodwork for those seeking the truth to examine. Whether the whole truth will ever be known is open to conjecture, but I have to admire David Ray Griffin and his colleagues in their dedication to their cause.

Theological Reminiscences (Toward Ecological Civilization) (Volume 4) Paperback – October 30, 2014
by John B. Cobb Jr. (Author)
5.0 out of 5 stars 5 ratings
In these remarkably intimate and forthcoming “reminiscences,” theologian and philosopher John B. Cobb, Jr., reflects on major theological developments of the last sixty years, from the Latin American, feminist, and black liberation theologies, to Vatican II, the “death of God,” and the shift from existentialist to process philosophies. A major conviction of Cobb’s work—amply displayed in these reflections—is that theology must engage contemporary issues. To that end, he followed a transdisciplinary approach throughout his career, integrating insights from many different areas of study and bringing different specialized disciplines into fruitful communication. As a result, Cobb has been influential in a wide range of disciplines, including theology, ecology, economics, biology and social ethics. His descriptions of these encounters are rich in personal detail and refreshingly honest.

This was a marvelous read and a joy! In fairness, I had John Cobb as a professor at Claremont 30 years ago and adored him then - even if I didn't understand a lot of what he was trying to share. To get to peek inside his head and heart as he reflects on his life and theological pursuits was wonderful. And his clarity of thought and theology, as always, is inspiring.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cobb on the multiverse hypothesisReviewed in the United States on August 27, 2015
Format: Paperback
John Cobb’s Theological Reminiscences provides an engaging account of memories from the various chapters of his life. One topic of potential interest to many readers would be his discussion of the hypothesis of a “multiverse,” according to which our universe is only one among billions of universes – indeed, “an infinite number of universes.” This hypothesis provides a way to avoid drawing a theistic conclusion from the fact, which science in recent decades has discovered, that our universe is “fine-tuned for life.” The multiverse hypothesis is designed to reconcile this fact with the belief that our universe came about purely from chance. According to this hypothesis, in Cobb’s words, “If there are an infinite number of universes, then the probability that one of them will be just like this is high.” Of course, the idea that there are an infinite number of universes of universes is, Cobb says, an incredible hypothesis. The only reason for its adoption is “the a priori belief that there is no God.”

Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
A philosopher at the Claremont School of Theology, Griffin scrutinizes the time line and physical evidence of September 11 for unresolved inconsistencies. Griffin draws heavily on three similarly skeptical examinations, by Nafeez Ahmed, Paul Thompson and Thierry Meyssan, whose The Big Lie was a bestseller in France, and which the New Republic has called "thinâ€"and thinly argued." 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything You Always Wanted to Know about 9/11 (But Were Afraid to Ask)Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2015
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
The New Pearl Harbor, or Everything You Always Wanted to Know about 9/11 (But Were Afraid to Ask)
As a result of careful media spinning, the bizarre and unfounded notion of American exceptionalism, and overwhelming ignorance to any contradicting facts (be it self-willed or not), the majority of Americans still believe Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda were responsible for the 9/11 attacks. The people who still believe the ‘official story’ generally fall into three categories: 1) Patriots who still believe that America is ‘the land of the free and the home of the brave.' 2) Those who accept what their leaders tell them without a thought given to their various agendas and biases. 3) Those who react violently (emotionally) to any sort of ‘conspiracy theory’ in fear that what they’re spouting might actually be true. These three groups are in no way mutually exclusive. In fact, overlap is pretty much guaranteed. The main advantage that these people have over the ‘Truthers’ (a term that should not be a pejorative, but for some reason is) is that they don’t have to argue with facts. They can simply call the opponent a delusional nut-job and end things at that. It’s the burden of Truthers to lay down a compelling argument contrary to the ‘official story,’ and retired professor David Ray Griffin presents in two carefully researched volumes a wealth of damning evidence supporting not only American complicity of the September 11th attacks, but overall orchestration.
Griffin is an academic above all and is in no way a representation of the stereotypical conspiracy theorist whose dimly-lit basement walls are collaged with newspaper articles and yarn. He’s simply an educated man in search of the objective truth, as every American should be. Taking a level-headed and emotionally-detached look at the massive and varied array of evidence disproving the ‘official story,’ Griffin systematically shreds every single strand of the government’s poorly spun web of lies. He dissects the impossibility of the attacks themselves, rightfully concluding that all signs point to false-flag instead of the purported ‘massive communication breakdown’ as a result of incompetence (although incompetence was certainly in the cards when it came to the sloppy conception of the ‘official story.’) Beyond the highly incriminating and contradictory evidence presented by the government and media about the events of 9/11, Griffin culls both pre and post-9/11 history and collects the undeniable motives of perpetrating such a heinous crime and contrasts them with the results of Bush’s ‘War on Terror.’ He sheds light on the fact that the 9/11 commission investigating the attacks was 100% bias and government orchestrated. Along with this, Griffin presents a cast of tragic heroes, government workers who were bullied and silenced in their attempts to take an objective look at 9/11. Furthermore, he uses historical precedent (the thankfully abandoned Operation Northwoods, the sinking of the USS Maine) as a device to help the reader understand that the government is not above harming innocent civilians as a pretext for military action. All of these points and more are the building blocks of Griffin’s book, yet he doesn’t stop at these broad highlights. His in-depth and tireless research can be clearly seen in the 1000+ citations used in the book’s creation. Reading The New Pearl Harbor volumes and The 9/11 Commission Report back-to-back, it’s obvious Griffin’s research and objective standpoint make a far more compelling argument than the heavily-biased, narrow-minded, and government-backed Commission Report.
The New Pearl Harbor is probably the most important work of modern non-fiction not to be recognized by the general public. Why, one might ask, is this so? Simply put, Griffin doesn’t dance around the obvious like many political writers tend to do. Many commercially successful books have been written about the corrupt Bush administration and the oil agenda of the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq, but while these writers seem very open to the widely publicized corruption and greed of the American Government in the Middle East, they neglect crucial facts about the event that kicked it all off. Why don’t they challenge the 9/11 ‘official story’ of the government they openly criticize as corrupt? Because they would be challenging the beliefs of over half of our nation, and that kind of reporting doesn’t sell books on a mass scale. Of course All the President’s Men was a huge hit, but Watergate was a kind of scandal that people could believe the government was capable of having perpetrated. 9/11, on the other hand, is a comparatively enormous scandal that blocks the common sense of Americans due to its sheer magnitude. We don’t want to believe it’s true, so we ignore any evidence that it might be. That’s why The New Pearl Harbor isn’t a bestseller, and that’s why wholly honest reporting is doomed unless reporters and writers can put ego, popularity, and financial gain on the back burner and focus on the unadulterated truth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Open Your Eyes AmericaReviewed in the United States on October 18, 2013
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
There is a lot more to the 911 saga, than we are lead to believe. The odd thing is that most American's don't seem to be interested in learning the truth !! I used to always wonder how the people of Germany, could sit back & not object to Hitler's ways, but now I see how that can happen. Those German people weren't much different from Americans today. We ignore anything that might be uncomfortable to accept, & go about our daily lives. This should be a must read for every America who cares about his country.

5.0 out of 5 stars Getting away with murderReviewed in the United States on October 12, 2009
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
Once you can get past the horrified emotional response you had to the attacks and the sight of the buildings collapsing and so many people dying, you can start to look at things again but a bit more objectively. Not everyone will have the same timeline for that. Some will never get over the horror and will remain frozen by it. But everyone else should take another look. The "official story" of what happened on 9-11 is full of holes big enough to fly a plane through (if that's in bad taste, I'm sorry.)
You don't even have to read all of this book, though you will probably want to once you get started. The first two chapters are more than enough to convince anyone skeptical of the conspiracy theories. Just read up to page 65 or so and your entire outlook will change forever.
Griffin isn't on a witch hunt to persecute Bush or his administration or anyone else. He wants what we should ALL want -- for the world to open their minds, review these events with a more objective eye, and investigate these events more deeply.
The powers-that-be who were behind the conspiracy are very fortunate to have pulled off this terrible plan in our modern age. Increasingly the U.S. is a nation of undereducated sheep who believe everything they see and hear on television. Too many of us have lost the ability to think critically and engage in open and critical dialogue about the subjects that REALLY matter.
For too many Americans, if it ain't on "American Idol" they don't give a rat's behind about it. So way to go, you terrorists from both overseas and within our own walls! You pulled off the crime of the millennium and you had American apathy on your side to make it just that much easier. I guess that makes us complicit too, huh?

5.0 out of 5 stars Blew my mind - we are living a nightmareReviewed in the United States on August 17, 2007
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
How do I get my mind around the inevitable conclusion: that 9/11 was an inside job? All the rhetoric from Bush and Cheney about the evil-doers, the sub-humans who care nothing for human life and want to kill us: they are speaking of themselves. We have entered that phase of world history where global power is slowly, silently being seized by very evil men who stop at nothing to unfold their demonic visions. The people who died in the WTC and the Pentagon were murdered by their own govt.
A few facts from the book: The towers were full of asbestos and it was almost impossible to demolish them any other way. By pretending the collapse was caused by terrorism, citizens cannot sue Silverstein for lung damage. There seemed to be a lot of incentive on the part of the leaseholder, Silverstein, to bring them down.
There was an unprecedented fullpower shutdown the weekend prior to 9-11. All security cameras were turned off. This according to an IT guy for Fidelity named Forbes, Google him. He reported a lot of workmen with spools of wire cables that weekend, he was told that internet cables were being upgraded. Because he worked all weekend, he took Tuesday off and watched the towers collapse from home in NJ. He instantly thought it was related to the work down over the weekend.
Also, all bomb-sniffing dogs were removed from the premises 5 days prior to 9/11 -- that would be Friday. What would the dogs have sniffed if they had been there that weekend?
Read the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great but consider buying the 2009 updated RE-VISITED New Pearl Harbour. It's even-better!Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 24, 2010
Verified Purchase
There is only one 911 book that's better than this one. It's the updated one: David Ray Griffin's updated tome, "THE NEW PEARL HARBOUR REVISITED" ("The New Pearl Harbor Revisited" - US spelling) is the ideal companion volume to buy when you but this seminal work. This book bravely raised many of the big questions that have become the cornerstone to what really happened on 9/11. It's not just an inquiry into the oddities and outrageous coincidences that make the official theory so unbelievable, it's not just what U.S. Senators, and members of The House of Representatives say; it's what members of the 911 Commission now say:
Current U.S. Senator (Patrick Leahy) states "The two questions that the congress will not ask . . . is why did 9/11 happen on George Bush's watch when he had clear warnings that it was going to happen? Why did they allow it to happen?"
Current Republican Congressman (Ron Paul) calls for a new 9/11 investigation and states that "we see the [9/11] investigations that have been done so far as more or less cover-up and no real explanation of what went on"
Current Democratic Congressman (Dennis Kucinich) hints that we aren't being told the truth about 9/11
Former Democratic Senator (Mike Gravel) states that he supports a new 9/11 investigation and that we don't know the truth about 9/11
Former Republican Senator (Lincoln Chaffee) endorses a new 9/11 investigation
Former U.S. Democratic Congressman (Dan Hamburg) says that the U.S. government "assisted" in the 9/11 attacks!
Former U.S. Republican Congressman and senior member of the House Armed Services Committee, and who served six years as the Chairman of the Military Research and Development Subcommittee (Curt Weldon) has shown that the U.S. tracked hijackers before 9/11, is open to hearing information about explosives in the Twin Towers, and is open to the possibility that9/11 was an inside job
According to the Co-Chair of the Congressional Inquiry into 9/11 and former Head of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Bob Graham, a U.S. government informant was the landlord to two of the hijackers for over a year (but the White House refused to let the 9/11 inquiry interview him).
The co-chairs of the 9/11 Commission (Thomas Keane and Lee Hamilton) said that the CIA (and likely the White House) "obstructed our investigation".
The co-chairs of the 9/11 Commission also said that the 9/11 Commissioners knew that military officials misrepresented the facts to the Commission, and the Commission considered recommending criminal charges for such false statements, yet didn't bother to tell the American people.
Indeed, the co-chairs of the Commission now admit that the Commission largely operated based upon political considerations.
9/11 Commission co-chair Lee Hamilton says "I don't believe for a minute we got everything right", that the Commission was set up to fail, that people should keep asking questions about 9/11, that the 9/11 debate should continue, and that the 9/11 Commission report was only "the first draft" of history.
9/11 Commissioner Bob Kerrey said that "There are ample reasons to suspect that there may be some alternative to what we outlined in our version . . . We didn't have access . . . ."
9/11 Commissioner Timothy Roemer said "We were extremely frustrated with the false statements we were getting"
Former 9/11 Commissioner Max Cleland resigned from the Commission, stating: "It is a national scandal"; "This investigation is now compromised"; and "One of these days we will have to get the full story because the 9-11 issue is so important to America. But this White House wants to cover it up".
9/11 Commissioner John Lehman said that "We purposely put together a staff that had - in a way - conflicts of interest".
The Senior Counsel to the 9/11 Commission (John Farmer) who led the 9/11 staff's inquiry, said"I was shocked at how different the truth was from the way it was described .... The tapes told a radically different story from what had been told to us and the public for two years..."
This is a must-read for everyone who cares about what really happened and the way we all had the wool pulled over our eyes. Griffin's evidence rips to shreds the lies of the Corporate administration that was Cheney-Rumsfeld-Bush, working to an extreme right-wing philosophy - that of Leo Strauss, whose extreme ideas influenced Neo-Conservative thinking in the years when these people, Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Pearl, and the above-mentioned, amongst others were dreaming-up a New World Order (Their Project for The New American Century - i.e. now).
Today we live in the early days of their new order.

(keine echte gefahr mehr, zudem ja leider so lokal begrenzt) nun, "for a new american century" den "war against terror":
wunderbar weltweit, überallhin, wo US-interessen gefährdet sein könnten, "permanent war for permanent peace" (der titel eines
weiteren, sehr interessanten buches!)... & bei allen opfern, die man sich & anderen abverlangt, an "geld UND leben", nicht zu

WIE pearl harbor", ohne das man die bevölkerung nicht hinter sich scharen könne, (be)schreiben die neo-konservativen berater
in ihrem projektentwurf, was sich dann (ganz ohne ihr zutun) ereignet - müßte so ein papier nicht jeden kriminologen stutzen

5.0 out of 5 stars grossartigReviewed in Germany on January 20, 2014
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
David Ray Griffin gibt in seinem buch "The New Pearl Harbor" eine sehr gute zusammenfassung der kritischen argumente, die gegen die offizielle version der ereignisse vom 11. September sprechen. Allerdings ist die erste fassung von 2004, deswegen geht er in diesem buch geht er noch nicht auf den bericht von NIST zu WTC 7 ein (2008). Im ersten teil behandelt Griffin jeweils die einzelnen flüge der vier angeblich gekaperten flugzeuge und geht in einem weiteren kapitel auf das verhalten von Präsident G.W. Bush ein. Im zweiten teil hat er für mich sehr eindrücklich das grössere umfeld der anschläge dargestellt. Er geht von den verbindungen aus, die zwischen Al Qaida, Saudi Arabien, dem pakistanischen geheimdienst ISI und der Bush regierung bestehen, so kann er schlüssig nachweisen, dass die Bush regierung in die anschläge vom 11. September verwickelt gewesen sein muss.
Ein sehr lesenswertes buch, es ist für das verständnis unserer modernen geschichte grundlegend. Wir sollten uns nicht von den offiziellen lügen verführen lassen. Martin Rau
