the 9/11 reading list thread

[Jeff]

If anyone asked me, these would be my must-reads:


Best contextual/historical analysis of how 9/11 could have happened. And for whom.


The only 9/11 title presenting original investigative work, exploring the neglected linkages to Florida and drugs.











Detailed study of the Ali Mohammed story (al Qaeda/CIA/US special forces operative) and the compromising of the Justice system.




Perhaps not a 9/11 book, but significant for its murky telling of the ISI/al Queda/Western Intel story.

I would also like to add:

United Arab Emirates Central Bank & 9/11 Financing
http://www.amazon.com/United-Arab-Emira ... 0615127096


Written from a former head of UAE banking, exposes how BCCI, most the 9/11 money, Bosnian jihadist arms smuggling, drugs, CIA/ISI/Saudi money all goes through very complicity UAE banking systems

Gets deep into tracing almost every dollar of the 9/11 attacks, and how it reached hijacker hands

United Arab Emirates Central Bank & 9/11 Financing

Good add. Difficult read, because he's not a writer and he needed a good editor, but it's important.

Thanks for the list... shame to say I have only read the Big Wedding on this list...homework time

[8bitagent]

I also wish to submit this book for people to check out. Actually I really enjoyed this one:

FROM BCCI TO ISI:
http://www.amazon.com/BCCI-ISI-Saga-Ent ... 0973368764

You want a book to give you goosebumps, that goes farther into ISI involvement in 9/11 and al Qaeda than any other book? Check out BCCI to ISI...of course, like any smart para political researcher, this author knows ISI is merely a proxy for much more unsettling interests.

I also recommend Ghost Wars, as I find that some official al Qaeda/9-11 story books actually contain a lot of interesting information

I'd like to see more exploration of Norman Oklahoma and San Diego California in relation to 9/11, the role of PTECH and all it's offshoots,
the use of WAMY and other charity fronts, assets and informants and of course the Bosnian conflict backdrop to the hijackers and al Qaeda.

I would also like to add:

United Arab Emirates Central Bank & 9/11 Financing
http://www.amazon.com/United-Arab-Emira ... 0615127096

Good add. Difficult read, because he's not a writer and he needed a good editor, but it's important.

I read parts of it in PDF, but it was incomplete. A lot of the solid 9/11 info I've read on 9/11 is not easy to digest, but put into a larger framework it's quite intriguing.

I feel that besides the Balkans Bosnian conflict, the Dubai and UAE banking system was absolutely essential for the 9/11 operations

Not specifically 9/11-related, but...a general purpose CT reading list (debunkers + earnest research alike): http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/MCC410A.html

Slowly working though this list. I would add
Towers of Deception: The Media Cover-up of 9/11 by Barrie Zwicker
The media's treatment of 9/11 is an important piece of the psyop.

"Even skeptics like myself will find much in Barrie Zwicker's book to ponder, enjoy and, yes even embrace. Interestingly researched and well written, a valuable aid to correct thinking about conspiracy theory." -Michael Parenti,

[Arabesque]

In my experience, all of the 9/11 books have their strengths and flaws. You have to evaluate a lot of information and be critical about that information.

I would add Crossing the Rubicon by Michael C. Ruppert to this list. I think it pretty much gives you the deal on 9/11 and the motives behind it (Dick Cheney and Peak Oil), and he for the most part stays away from speculation and hoax material.

Gee, look at all the books about...al-Queda?
Seems kind of lop-sided to me. Most evidence points elsewhere.

Peter Lance's book is disinfo covering up that Ali Mohamed was a double- or triple-agent, not an "infiltrator" of the FBI etc.

Don't forget all the books by David Ray Griffin exposing the New Pearl Harbor's inside job as internal coup.

Plus Barrie Zwick's 'Towers of Deception.'

And this new DVD from Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth-

nice, you can also pick up "The Ultimate 9/11 Truth T-shirt" while you're there.

[compared2what?]

There are shelves and shelves of history books that are less obviously on-point, but equally essential to an informed understanding of the present. In some ways, more essential. For introductory and/or primer purposes as well as for the sheer fun of it, I recommend:

A Peace to End All Peace: The Fall of the Ottoman Empire and the Creation of the Modern Middle East, by David Fromkin.

You won't regret it.

[Jeff]

Peter Lance's book is disinfo covering up that Ali Mohamed was a double- or triple-agent, not an "infiltrator" of the FBI etc.

But these aren't theology texts, and an author is not necessarily practicing "disinfo" because he fails your criteria for orthodoxy.

Whether Lance's assumptions mirror your own should be irrelevant. The data he's compiled on Mohamed can inform any argument for suspicion regarding 9/11. Scott does that very thing in his own The Road to 9/11.

Isn't it better to read critically, than to endlessly recite the Apostle's Creed?

Enough with your religious framing. You're sounding like 8bitagent. yikes.

I didn't write 'don't read the book.' I was just giving an advance warning on the skew. So you are projecting on me something I don't advocate.

Hey, I read all sides of things, too. The whistleblower books and the cover-up ones.
But a book with a glaring misdirection should be identified as such.

Ruppert might be a complete shill and maybe a spook but "Crossing the Rubicon" is a must read.
