Alternative views on US government role evolve from "let it happen on purpose" to "inside job from start to finish"
February 22, 2006 (Press Release) --
Washington, DC. For skeptics of the official story of 9/11, the taboo of 2002 has become the cornerstone of 2006: they are now convinced the Twin Towers and Building WTC 7 did not collapse from fire, but were demolished by explosives - an act that could only be carried out from inside the US power structure (www.waronfreedom.org/synth/wtc7-downfall.png ).
"Against the weight of physical evidence, half-way positions finally have nothing to support them, just like the free-fall collapse of building WTC-7," says John Leonard, who publishes several books on 9/11 under the Progressive Press imprint.
The latest is Webster Griffin Tarpley's "9/11 Synthetic Terror: Made in USA" (2nd edition, January 2006), and it lives up to its uncompromising title. "The demolition of the three towers is the end station with other 9/11 critiques that get that far," Leonard notes. "For Tarpley it is only the opener in his case against the terror oligarchs." (www.reopen911.org/Tarpley_ch_6.pdf) The real meat is his model of "state-sponsored false-flag terrorism" - a ruling rogue network of moles, patsies, professional killers, a privatized headquarters, and controlled corporate media.
Terror and covert operations are logical necessities, Tarpley says, in order to uphold any regime that serves the interests of the few in the guise of mass democracy. Activist as well as author, he is recently warning that the planned attack on Iran is not due to any nuclear program, but to Iran's planned oil bourse (www.prweb.com/releases/2006/01/prweb337360.htm), which could knock out the underpinnings of the deficit-stretched US dollar. Tarpley is on talk radio at least once a week, with a smooth, erudite delivery that lends credibility to his radical findings. (see www.waronfreedom.org/radio.html)
There is a market for the mix. The book has earned 5-star reviews on Amazon (see www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0930852311 and www.waronfreedom.org/synth/reviews.html).
So far this year, the Amazon sales rank for "9/11 Synthetic Terror" has led all other 9/11 exposés, vying with the official report of the 9/11 Commission for first place.
Most of the other alternative 9/11 authors tried Michael Moore's easier path to popularity: criticizing both the Bush regime and the bogeyman of Islamic terrorism, says Leonard. For instance, Noam Chomsky's early hit "9/11" championed the "blowback theory" that 9/11 was repayment for the evils of imperialism. Tarpley refutes this in his chapter "Islamic Fundamentalism: Fostered by US Foreign Policy," in his critique of 9/11 literature, and in recent articles and interviews on the Mohammed cartoon provocation (1).
"The fatal drawback of such double-talk is that it reinforces the enemy images which are the alibi for war on the Middle East," says Tarpley's publisher, who was the first to print any book in English questioning the official narrative.
