All Fall Down: The Politics of Terror and Mass Persuasion

I just finished reading this and while I'm slightly disappointed that there wasn't more about what really happened on 9/11, it's understandable considering this edition was written in 2002 when there wasn't as much of an "orgy of evidence" that clearly showed that elements of the U.S. Government were intimately involved in the "surprise" attacks. Hopefully the information will be expanded on in a newer edition, which will hopefully be a more affordable paperback version. There are though some incredibly detailed accounts of what was happening in those towers as the planes hit. Also good info about a whole lot of damaging evidence to the financial establishment that was destroyed when those towers came down. Also, this was written pre-Iraq war but there are some incredible accounts from inside Afghanistan as the randomly-dropped bombs mercilessly blew apart scores of innocent women and children - as the old warlords were being replaced with U.S.-friendly, and even more brutal warlords. The rest of this book is practically a Bible of knowledge if you want to understand why the world is in the shape that it is in and how the U.S. Government has played a major role in its tragic slide into worldwide misery. The U.S. Government has had a whole lot to do with terror. From setting up terrorist training camps in Pakistan and Afghanistan when it was a useful tool to battle the "evildoers" of that day, which were the Soviets. The U.S. Government brought the Taliban to power and kept them there until they would no longer play ball. The Taliban got greedy and wanted to much money to let the U.S. oil companies lay down their pipelines. They then committed the cardinal sin of shutting down those poppy fields which put a real hurting on the underground and "legitimate" economies of the western world which now have to have huge drug revenues to stay afloat. A great job is done exposing the anthrax attacks after 9/11 that helped rush through the Patriot Act. It is now known that the anthrax was sent from the U.S. weapons lab at Fort Detrick, Maryland for the purpose of intimidation and political assassination. Remember - no Republicans got any of those anthrax-laced letters. Why don't you hear any of this truth? Because the big corporations that own the government also own the media. He does a great job detailing this. This book is really a must-have. It encompasses everything that any citizen of the U.S. and of the world must know to see how corrupt power dominates this planet and is setting up a police state to put down those who will resist it.

A lot of us suspect that behind the scene of politics much more unrevealed information is kept away from the public eye. Reading this book would help anyone to be more educated and less naive as to what the reality behind "Showtime America" is, based on a clearer understanding of issues like war...I thought the movie "The Matrix" was brilliant, now I find it to be closer to reality than I thought.
