The Terror Conspiracy: Deception, 9/11 and the Loss of Liberty

It is so frustrating that so much is kept from us by our own government, and when we do come across some interesting things, there is absolutely nothing we can do about it! I read that on July 4, 2001 (of all dates!) OBL was admitted to the American Hospital in Dubai as a patient for his kidney problems, stayed 10 days, was visited by the head of the USA CIA on numerous occasions, and was let go on July 14th -- certainly before 9/11 which was obviously in progress already -- but AFTER President Clinton signed an arrest warrant to pick him up anytime/anywhere before he left office -- and we let him go. I'm not saying that it would have changed 9/11 but at least we would have had him in custody -- now we have nothing -- and by the way the head of the CIA in that part of the world resigned shortly thereafter, under duress I am sure. So that does that say for us????

I've known Jim Marrs (not personally) as the author of the reasonably well-respected "CROSSFIRE - THE PLOT THAT KILLED KENNEDY", and also, more recently, as an author interested in somewhat more esoteric subjects unrelated to 9/11. I bought this book to add to my growing 9/11 research library, but was a little unsure of what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this book. Marrs is on his best behavior here. THE TERROR CONSPIRACY is a very detailed, clear-headed and up-to-date overview of the holes in the official story, the context these events took place in, and a likely 'big picture' overview of the entire 9/11 conspiracy. This is all perhaps par for the course with any good recent 9/11 truth publication but THE TERROR CONSPIRACY exceeded my expectations in the following ways: The book is extremely well-researched and footnoted. I had read somewhat mixed things about Marrs's prior 9/11 book INSIDE JOB and wasn't sure what to expect with this book. Marrs writes "THE TERROR CONSPIRACY greatly expands, updates and replaces INSIDE JOB in the light of events and discoveries since 2002". Given the quality of this new volume, I wouldn't be surprised if the book was a complete re-write. Marrs makes references to events occurring as recently as a few months ago from early 2006 and briefly quotes from volumes like Webster Tarpley's excellent 9/11 SYNTHETIC TERROR: MADE IN USA, among others. There's a 30 page index (not really footnotes, but rather sources, other publications, books quoted, and URL's) that suggests that Marrs has kept up with the required reading and drawn from the best available current evidence. There's good and bad stuff about 9/11 available in print and online and Marrs seems to have made a real effort to sort the wheat from the chaff, making reference to guys like Michel Chossudovky, Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed and newspapers like THE GUARDIAN. (In fact, after browsing back through the index for the purposes of this review, I feel smarter already.) With all the available material out there on 9/11 conspiracies it'd be a worry if someone didn't take pains to only use the most respectable sources. Marrs seems to have been aware of that danger and has chosen his carefully. I also didn't notice any mistakes in his overall analysis. THE TERROR CONSPIRACY is the 9th or 10th 9/11 conspiracy book that I have purchased, and some of them have been better than others. Marrs makes his case more efficiently than Michael Ruppert does in CROSSING THE RUBICON, and avoids egregious blunders like the blanket dismissal by author Sander Hicks of anomalies surrounding the Pentagon crash in THE BIG WEDDING. There's also no reference to `In Plane Sight'-era nonsense like `tubes on the airplane hitting the WTC', which I found in the otherwise passable book 9/11 REVEALED by Rowland Morgan and Ian Henshall. I've been reading and joining the dots on the seemingly ever-more-complicated events of 9/11 for about 4 years now,

Do not trust this book. - I am quoting from the book itself. The author insists that you take no book written by anyone including his at face value. Do your own research. That being said.... There is no better book with which to begin that research that the "Terror Conspiracy". If you are already a student of 9/11 the first section of this book may appear a little tedious. You might think "I know all this, lets get to some new information" The author is however buiding a solid factual foundation that will support the rest of the book. If you want to know the full story find it here. By the time the reader gets to page 169 she will realize that the author had methodically built a solid case that completely crushes the government's story on every level. David Ray Griffin's excellent book "The New Pearl Harbor" and "The Christian Faith and 911" speak much about the facts of the event itself. After Marrs convinces the most skeptical who have read up to Part II the book now delves into the history of US state sponsored terror and the full background of the evil that has infected Washington today. I recommend getting this book as soon as possible while you still can. To those who think this is all "conspiracy theory" just go read the text of the PATRIOT act and the Detainee bill that just passed. It is now legal for the Federal government to "disappear" someone it doesn't like for any reason or no reason at all but merely on the say-so of one man. Read this book and you will know the true nature of what was just rammed through congress and this book will give you insight to what it all means to the people of this country. Congress has officially repealed the Bill of Rights. Don't beleive me? Good! I don't want you to. Find out for yourself. Wake up frmop your drooling stupor in front of the Fox News[sic] channel and do your own research. If you do not accept the premise of this book, great. Read it anyway just so you know what people are thinking. If you think you support the official conspiracy theory then read this even if you want to debunk it. Who knows, you might learn something O'Reilly, Hannity and Rush missed. Like all of Jim Marrs' books this is exceptionally well written and quite gripping. Marrs backs up up everything with factual and documented evidence. Wake up America while you still can. Read this book NOW, then go to Google video and watch "Terrorstorm". Do it TODAY!

This book should be REQUIRED READING. Many people I have talked to think that I am some Democrat trying to unman the Republicans when I mention a conspiracy for 9/11. If they have even an average intelligence, they should be turned around by page 150 as they read Jim Marrs account of 9/11, before and after the fact. I think they are afraid to go against the party line, especially in Texas, to submit to the evidence of such a cover up. Jim Marrs' book should straighten them out--that is if they are not afraid to read it.

It doesn't matter which side of this issue you stand (someone seeking the truth vs. a mindless, spoon-fed sheep), the fact remains that Jim Marrs identifies holes, discrepancies, misrepresentations, lies, omissions, etc. in the official 9/11 Commission Report that should bother every American citizen; enough so that they are motivated to investigate further. If you already subscribe to his conspiracy theory, then this book is a no-brainer; I'm sure you'll enjoy it thoroughly. If you don't buy into his conspiracy theory, then do some research after you read this book and formulate a better theory. Regardless of where you stand, every intelligent person has to admit that the 9/11 Commission Report is at least 50% fiction, if not more. It's just a matter of common sense. A simple review of the facts is all it takes (and perhaps a reasonable understanding of basic conceptual physics). If you aren't convinced by the obvious, then I recommend you put down this book and get back to the flock; I'm sure they miss you. Don't submit a review discrediting this book just because you don't agree with the author's opinions or conclusions (or his previous books). You'd be wasting everyone's time, including your own. Doing so would be a clear indication that you missed the point completely: (1.) Be angry that you were lied to. (2.) Be angry that your civil liberties are being systematically stripped from you. (3.) Seek out the truth. It's as simple as that. To quote the first sentence in this author's earlier book about the JFK assassination ("Crossfire"), "Do not trust this book." He goes on to say that he has simply collected and presented evidence; you be the judge. If you read this book and still wholeheartedly believe the 9/11 Commission Report, then I'd like to discuss with you a proposition wherein you transfer all of the money in your savings account over to my savings account. It's a matter of national security. Really. Trust me. Actually, I'm pretty sure it's required by the USA PATRIOT Act, so you better get to it, my little sheep. If you love America and the Constitution as dearly and passionately as I do, then seek out the truth. This book is a good place to start.
