Building a collection of books.

[Independent_Liberal]

Hey guys,

I'm building a collection of 9/11 books. The books I currently have are:

Crossing the Rubicon: The Decline of the American Empire at the End of the Age of Oil by Michael C. Ruppert
The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions About the Bush Administration and 9/11 by David Ray Griffin
The Terror Timeline: Year by Year, Day by Day, Minute by Minute: A Comprehensive Chronicle of the Road to 9/11--and America's Response by Paul Thompson
Cover-Up: What the Government Is Still Hiding About the War on Terror by Peter Lance
Triple Cross: How bin Laden's Master Spy Penetrated the CIA, the Green Berets, and the FBI-And Why Patrick Fitzgerald Failed to Stop Him by Peter Lance
Welcome to Terrorland: Mohamed Atta & The 9-11 Cover-up in Florida by Daniel Hopsicker
The Terror Conspiracy: Deception, 9/11, and the Loss of Liberty by Jim Marrs
9/11 and American Empire: Intellectuals Speak Out by David Ray Griffin and Peter Dale Scott
The 5 Unanswered Questions About 9/11: What the 9/11 Commission Report Failed to Tell Us by James Ridgeway

Right now, I'm half way through Triple Cross. It's about Ali Mohamed and how he was an espionage mastermind and fooled so many people in the defense and intelligence agencies. It also looks in-depth at the pre-9/11 terrorism cases involving Ramzi Yousef and all other events relating to Mohamed and Yousef leading up to 9/11.

Which one should I read next? In your opinion, what do you think is the best?

1. 9/11 Synthetic Terror by Webster Griffin Tarpley

The same guy who wrote George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography which you can read online at: http://www.tarpley.net/bushb.htm

His work on George H.W. Bush is a classic and his 9/11 book is equally impressive especially all the information which he gathered about Rudy Giuliani. There are some excerpts at http://www.gnn.tv/threads/6031/Former_Bush_Team_Member_Says_WTC_Collapse_Likely_A_Controlled_Demolition?page=2&sort=_created_dt&dir=ASC

P.S. (A little of self promotion). Check out: Who Killed John O'Neill as well

13. I just finished Synthetic Terror

I didnt think much of it. Poorly sourced. "Crossing the Rubicon" is written better, sources and cites are done to an overall higher standard than Tarpley.

Additionally Tarpley is a 30+ yr associate of LaRouch, and Tarpley fails to note Larouches organizations probable envolvement in the Vatican Bank Hiest ala P2, even though Tarpley spends some time on Italy and the Red Brigades, he skips right by the bank Hiest.

Tarpley has guest hosted the "LaRouch Connection" show many times. and was the EU Editor from the start of the EIR news service (circa 1971), which he notes repeatedly in "Sythetic Terror".

2. You might want to skip Jim Marrs;

he does UFOs and aliens.

Aside from that - 9/11 is just the tip of the iceberg, be it a big one.
The iceberg is false-flag terrorism and how the truth about it is being kept from the public.

"NATOs secret armies"
by Daniel Ganser
Is about false-flag terrorism in Europe during the past decades, involving the CIA and other intel agencies.

You also might want to read up on propaganda/censorship in the western mass media
"Manufacturing Consent" (book and documentary)
by Noam Chomsky
http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Herman%20/Manufacturing_Consent.html

9. I disagree.

The Terror Conspiracy is solid, no aliens, no UFOs. He's been writing about 9/11 since it happened. He's as well-versed on the subject as anyone.

17. Right, whatever meaningful info can be had from Marrs, can be had

from individuals with more credibility than Marrs.

6. Look at all the money being made on oil pipielines and heroin! Then tell

me about all the money being made by the people who write about it.

7. Griffin

Griffin's book on the Commission is very solid.

And despite a writing style that works poorly with his material, a lack of footnotes/references, and a truly astounding number of typos (even a name spelled two different ways *on the same page*), Hopsicker's book is worthwhile.

8. a couple more..

The Big Wedding: 9/11, the Whistle Blowers, and the Cover-up by Sander Hicks
The War on Freedom: How and Why America was Attacked, September 11, 2001 by Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed

A couple of other books of interest. Though they don't deal directly with 911, they do deal with the CIAs involvment in drug traffiking used to finance terrorist activity.

The Politics of Heroin in Southeast Asia by Alfred W McCoy
The Strength of the Wolf: The Secret History of America's War on Drugs by Douglas Valentine
