\"Bush<\/a><\/p>\n

Review of Prof. David Ray Griffin’s Book by Elizabeth Woodworth<\/a>, co-founder, consensus911.org; originally published on globalresearch.ca<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As a prominent Whitehead process theologian, scholar David Ray Griffin attracted much attention when the first of his ten books about 9\/11 came out (\u201cThe New Pearl Harbor<\/a>,\u201d 2004).<\/p>\n

Since the appearance of that book \u2013 which built on the work of several scholars and analysts \u2013 a worldwide movement has grown up challenging the official account of 9\/11 and its tragic sequelae, Islamophobia and the all-consuming \u201cwar on terror.\u201d<\/p>\n

In his new book, Griffin updates the evidence from his last book (\u201c9\/11 Ten Years Later<\/a>,\u201d 2011), and points to extensive new research on the Twin Towers from a large body of architects and engineers, and also to the investigations of the international 22-member 9\/11 Consensus Panel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

From 2012-2014, Griffin turned to a full analysis of the climate crisis. His 2015 book, \u201cUnprecedented: Can Civilization Survive the CO2 Crisis?<\/a>\u201d was described by an expert reviewer from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change as \u201cthe best book today on the issue of all issues of all time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Griffin\u2019s new book on the Bush-Cheney administration shows that both 9\/11 and the climate crisis derive from the neoconservatives who came to power in 2000 as the Bush-Cheney administration.<\/p>\n

Using the great lie of 9\/11, and never ceasing to drill into the pubic the fear of terrorism, the neocons and their media have metastacized into a full-blown \u201cneoconservative movement\u201d that has gradually come to dominate both the Republican and Democratic parties.<\/p>\n

Looking more deeply than the captured media, Griffin shows that the neoconservatives have been \u201cthe major source of the violence, illegal regime change, killings, and dislocations of millions of people since the attacks of September 11, 2001\u201d \u2013 including the destruction of Iraq and Libya.<\/p>\n

Yet for more than 15 years, the 9\/11 attacks have enabled a primitive neocon\/media drumbeat telling us that we should fear the aggression of Iran and the Muslim world. Most recently we are urged to fear the \u201cunsubstantiated claims that Putin interfered in the US presidential election.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is all propaganda serving America\u2019s war for the \u201cgreater Middle East,\u201d which began in 1953 and has led to global chaos.<\/p>\n

The public needs protection from the increasingly incoherent media lies so that democracy can once again stand on a platform of truth.<\/p>\n

Dr. Griffin\u2019s new book is a reliable and readable tool for people who want to base their thinking on solid evidence and lucid scholarship.<\/p>\n
