BIBLIOGRAPHY
INTRODUCTION
There exists a shadowy government with its own Air
Force, its own navy, its own fundraising mechanism,
and the ability to pursue its own ideas of the national
interest, free from all checks and balances, and free
from the law itself. – Senator Daniel K. Inouye
during the Iran-contra scandal.
This book would not have been possible without the efforts of the 9/11 truth movement, a
true planetary cooperation by citizens of the world, which was called into being by the
crimes of September 11, 2001 and the subsequent coverup. I am indebted for many
insights to numerous authors of print and internet studies of 9/11; the extent of this
indebtedness and the names of the individual researchers are acknowledged in the text
and the bibliography. The 9/11 truth movement, its activists, organizers, filmmakers and
demonstrators, has had the immense historical merit of opposing those who have sought
to incarcerate the intellectual life of the world in a grim new prison house of the human
spirit, the monstrous 9/11 myth.
On September 7, 2001 I left Dulles Airport in northern Virginia on an Air France flight
en route to Europe. 9/11 itself overtook me in Berlin. Because of the time difference, I
learned of the terror attacks in the afternoon. I immediately concluded that the events of
that day, because of their scope, complexity, and technical precision, could not have been
possible without the massive complicity of a faction of the US political and military
command structure. This is what the US taxpayers were paying $40 billion a year for! It
was also clear to me that the goal of this operation was a new world war on a vast scale –
something along the lines of the Thirty Years’ War of 1618-1648, which killed about a
third of the population of central Europe. In the intentions of its planners, this new
conflict was to be a population war, designed to exterminate large parts of the population
of the developing sector, including the Arab and Moslem countries, and eventually
China. It was the desperate bid of a bankrupt and declining power to re-assert world
domination based on blackmail. It was a world-historical turn towards disaster.
On the evening of 9/11, I attended a memorial service at the Berliner Dom, the Berlin
cathedral which had been destroyed by allied bombing during World War II, and which
had lain in ruins through most of the communist era in East Berlin. I listened and
approved as a leading prelate called for a peaceful response to the gigantic atrocity. This
was the wisdom of Berlin, a city which had undergone, not one, but scores days of 3,000
dead during the world wars. This was the lesson of the twentieth century which the
neocons refuse to learn: the utter futility of war. A day later, I went to the Kaiser-
Wilhelms-Gedächtniskirche, the Emperor William II memorial church on the
Kurfürstendamm in what had been the western sector. This church had also been reduced
to rubble by the allied bombing. The ruined parts had been kept as shell-scarred rubble,
and a modern chapel erected next to them during the early 1960s. And here prayer
services were being held around the clock in response to the immense tragedy. Here I
realized that it was my duty to do everything in my power to establish the truth of 9/11,
and to tear down the absurd myth that was already being elaborated as the pretext for new
world wars and incalculable human losses.
I issued my first challenge to the prevailing orthodoxy regarding 9/11 on October 26,
2001 at the Indiana Consortium of International Programs, which was held in the
beautiful hoosier countryside about fifty miles east of the Wabash at Brown County State
Park. Here I invited an audience of academics and scholars to think back to Vietnam as a
time when the government, most professors, the media, and the pundits were all tragically
wrong about virtually everything – facts in the case, diagnosis of the world situation,
strategy, and tactics. We were now living through another such time, I argued. The
invasion of Afghanistan, then under way, was as I argued not a military operation, but the
systematic bribing of the CIA’s old network of druglords and warlords, backed up with
bombing and special forces as enforcers.
I gave an expanded, more detailed, and above all more radical version of this critique on
January 20, 2002 at Hanover College, a picturesque Indiana campus set on the bluffs of
the Ohio River overlooking the wooded hills on the Kentucky side. This time the
audience was larger, some 150 people in a packed lecture hall. Here I was able to build
on the pioneering insights of French activist Thierry Meyssan and the Réseau Voltaire
website, on former SPD German Technology Minister Andreas von Buelow’s landmark
interview to the Berlin
Tagespiegel
of January 13, 2002, and former German Chancellor
Helmut Schmidt’s incisive remark of December 10, 2001 to German N-TV that the
activation of Article V of the North Atlantic Treaty on mutual assistance among the
alliance members was illegitimate, since “proof had to be delivered that the Sept. 11
terror attacks came from abroad… [and] that proof has still not been provided.” (N-TV,
Dec.10) As of September 11, 2004, three years and many failed commissions and
investigations later, it has still not been provided. My own understanding of the 9/11
events developed further through my participation, as speaker and listener, in the Lucern,
Switzerland, conference of November 1-2, 2003, which was attended by Andreas von
Bülow, Gerhard Wisnewski, Peter Dale Scott, Mike Ruppert, Nick Begich, and Thomas
Meyer; in Carol Brouillet’s San Francisco International Inquiry-Phase One of March 26-
29, 2004; in the Toronto International Inquiry Phase Two of May 25-31, 2004, organized
by Barrie Zwicker, Ian Woods, and Michel Chossudovsky; and in the Manhattan Center
conference of September 11, 2004 in New York City, organized by Nico Haupt and Nick
Levis with the support of Jimmy Walter. I also derived encouragement and ideas from a
manuscript on the collapse of air defense on 9/11 sent to me by my good friend Maurizio
Blondet, a courageous Catholic journalist who writes for
Avvenire
, the Milan daily
newspaper of the Italian Catholic Bishops’ Conference.
At the conferences mentioned and others, I have advocated the creation of an
Independent International Truth Commission (IITC) on 9/11 in which a panel of
distinguished international personalities, including statesmen, artists, philosophers,
historians, scientists, and humanitarians would hear evidentiary briefs prepared by the
leading experts in the 9/11 truth movement, for the purpose of rendering an authoritative
finding on the veracity of the official version. The approximate model for such
proceedings would be the Russell-Sartre Tribunal of 1966-67; without wanting to endorse
