By virtue of his previous four books on the subject, David Ray Griffin is widely recognized as one of the leading spokespersons of the 9/11 truth movement, which rejects the official conspiracy theory about 9/11. Although this movement was long ignored by the US government and the mainstream media, recent polls have shown that (as Time magazine has acknowledged) the rejection of the official theory has become "a mainstream political phenomenon." It is not surprising, therefore, that the government and the corporately controlled media have shifted tactics. No longer ignoring the 9/11 truth movement, they have released a flurry of stories and reports aimed at debunking it.

In the present book, David Ray Griffin shows that these attempts can themselves be easily debunked. Besides demonstrating the pitiful failure of Debunking 9/11 Myths (published by Popular Mechanics and endorsed by Senator John McCain), Griffin riddles recent reports and stories put out by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the New York Times, Vanity Fair, and Time magazine as well as a new book by the chairmen of the 9/11 Commission. He also responds to criticisms of the 9/11 truth movement by left-leaning and Christian publications--which one might have expected to be supportive.

Throughout these critiques, Griffin shows that the charge that is regularly leveled against critics of the official theory-that they employ irrational and unscientific methods to defend conclusions based on faith-actually applies more fully to those who defend the official theory.

This book, by debunking the most prevalent attempts to refute the evidence cited by the 9/11 truth movement, shows that this movement's central claim-that 9/11 was an inside job-remains the only explanation that fits the facts.

Crime of the Century

On the morning of 9/11 I heard of the first plane hitting the tower while listening to NPR in the early morning hours near San Francisco. I woke our son and the three of us sat in bed watching this event unfold, wanting to know more. When the second plane hit, we knew this was some sort of attack, but as the information came in about terrorists with box-cutters, and no military response at the time from our Air Force, it was already hard to swallow as truth. The White House had the most to gain, and we already knew they had yearned to go to war with Iran and/or Iraq for several years, since signing onto a letter encouraging Clinton to do just that.

I've been a professional photographer most of my life, but was a structural engineer and architect before that and an Army draftee before that. Although I have been reluctant to adhere to some truth theory, I have been very curious, while putting most of my energy into protesting the Bush regime, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. So much to do, so little time.

Recently, after reading "The Commission" I bought a copy of David Ray Griffin's "Debunking 9/11 Debunking", determined to work my way through it. Griffin has gone into great detail to address numerous issues that have been presented in various media, our media generally supporting the "official story". I've seen TV shows where the architect even follows the official line, and have felt uneasy about this, even though it was run on PBS. The architect was not very convincing. Maybe he didn't buy it either?

Griffin includes other voices from the structural engineering field both here and abroad who dispute the official story and explain from an architectural engineer's position why the official 9/11 explanation does not jive with reality. The engineering explanations are something I have a feel for and appreciate. The entire 9/11 investigation should have been carried out from a neutral perspective using neutral experts, engineers and scientists. A "democracy" demands no less.

I'm beginning to see how the twin towers and building #7 could have been wired for demolition by a subcontractor who was told the purpose was to read seismic monitors positioned at certain structural locations for that future earthquake that occurs in Manhattan every several hundred years or some similar scientific research ruse. Once that was completed, another group, also ignorant of the true purpose could have set up monitoring/control computers in bldg #7, some room with a view. At some point, another contractor could place cabinets in the structural locations and secure them to the structural members, for monitoring seismic movement perhaps, but these would contain powerful demolition explosives.

Later, others would hook everything up and test the wiring circuitry, the triggering mechanism not engaged until later activated and controlled from Bldg. #7, ready to "rock and roll". Properly handled, few if any of well-paid techies would understand what they may have participated in. Probably they would have been Haliburton or Blackwater people, or something similar. If I can imagine this, and I'm no expert, it could probably have been done by professionals from the military who are trained in such tactics.

Perhaps the expenses are all accounted for in some funding request for the military under a code name. The I.G. could check that out. Follow the money.

A Litmus Test of Intelligence for the American People

No doubt it is a hard read. It is voluminous, meticulous, and if you cannot remember what was discussed three paragraphs ago, you probably get lost. However, this book is an absolute must for Americans if they wish to recapture their runaway democracy from a possible clandestine coup d'etat that has so far succeeded. And I sincerely hope that the claims apparently proven beyond doubt by Griffin will soon be scientifically refuted, because then, we would be able to all sit back and relax in the world that is still operated by familiar democratic principles.

Scientist or not, the author is a Ph.D., and he knows how to present information in the telltale manner of a piece of academic paper. He puts information in a well-sorted order, presents the source of information in the way that the reader can trace his research to find fault if s/he so wishes, he discusses theories other than his to check if other theories might explain the phenomenon under study better, and he often quotes his opponents directly before presenting his position, so that the book reads like a virtual face-to-face debate. If a debunker could refute his many claims in the very same academic manner, the discussions on 911 truth will end promtly. But so far, we have not seen any document from the debunker camp that could match the level of scientific approach that Griffin seems able to employ.

And the difficulty of the 911 truth movement seems to be the very level of intelligence that is required to sift through the enoumous volume of pieces of evidence, whether authentic or fablicated. It seems to me that if the Americans collectively fail the litmus test of intelligence that this whole mess has become, they will fail their own democracy.

So I sincerely hope that the whole academia of the U.S.A. joins their forces to quickly put an end to this debate. After reading this book, you cannot but realize that, if what this book is presenting is true, an unprecedented paradigm shift has swept over the world. If you are a scholar or a student or a CEO or an investor, your study and knowlege in politics, economics, international relations, international marketing, share market principles, or MBA based on the paradigm that was valid before 911, are completely irrelevant in the present day.

It is the most urgent task for the academia of the United States to finish discussing 911 truth and determine what kind of a world we live in now. And this book presents a very good starting point.

Many still living with head in the sand

How pathetic the posts that say this book and information is a sham. My guess would be they never read this or any of his other books. The truth is, these people can't face the truth. So be it. Their problem. It will come out in the end.

This and Mr Griffin's other books are superb by any standard! I've read them all. Even if you doubt this could be true, enlighten yourselves for a change and maybe it will cause you to think for yourself and not be sheeple!
