Solving 9-11: the Deception That Changed the World Solving 9-11: The Deception That Changed the World By Christopher Bollyn ISBN: 978-0-9853225-8-8 Copyright 2012 Reviewed by Robert A. Sungenis, Sr., Ph.D, May 11, 2012. Christopher Bollyn is an investigative journalist. His degree is in history from the University of California, with an emphasis on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. He also spent several years in Europe and the Middle East. Mr. Bollyn’s latest investigative venture concerns the 911 attacks and is by far his most significant work. One can judge its significance by the fact that after writing extensively on 911 for five years, Bollyn was attacked at his home by three heavily-armed undercover policemen who administered a 50,000 volt TASAR gun on him in August 2006, in front of his wife and children. They neither revealed why they were trying to arrest him nor read him his Miranda rights. At the trial, they made up a bogus charge that Bollyn was resisting arrest and had assaulted them. The three men gave a fabricated testimony on the witness stand after which the judge in Chicago dismissed them. The bias of the judge was clear when he did not allow Bollyn’s expert witness to testify. Bollyn later discovered that the judge was Hyman Riebman, a known Jewish Zionist who, by this time, knew that Bollyn had been writing on 911 for some time and implicating Jewish Zionists.1 Bollyn has also been maligned by the Jewish controlled media for his investigations into 911, especially CNN and FOX News, who,2 although they gave him an interview, it became obvious by their questions, Bollyn says, that “all they really wanted to do was to try to smear me as an anti-semite.”3 The ADL also got their licks in, smearing the newspaper he wrote for, American Free Press, as a “conspiratorial and anti-semitic weekly newspaper” which “repeatedly turned to the subject of the 911 attacks as grist for its mill.” None of this stopped Bollyn, of course. It just made him more convinced he was on the right track. Almost as if he had been chosen to do this investigation, he writes of his “wife’s vivid dream about our family being attacked by airplanes, which she experienced a few days before the attacks,” a dream she told her husband as they “drove though New York City in the early morning hours of September 11, 2001, about 7 hours before the first plane struck the North Tower.” 1 http://www.bollyn.com/the-bollyn-trial-2/#article_11808 2 Gerald M. Levin (Jewish) is the CEO of Time-Warner who acquired Turner Broadcasting in 1997 and owns CNN; Rupert Murdoch (Jewish) is the CEO of News Corporation, which owns FOX News. 3 The interview can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bB6nDk_FEBs. Bollyn noted to me: “Paula Zahn’s CNN Show ‘Out in the Open’ used editing tricks in its attempt to slander me as an anti-Semite on national television - the night before my trial was to begin.” Bollyn’s remarks can be found at http://www.bollyn.com/chicagos-elders-of-zion-and-obamas-war-for-profit/. Clarification on the 4,000 Israelis known to have been in the WTC area is noted in footnote 53. 1 Before we get into the details of his book, let us set the backdrop for the thesis that Mr. Bollyn will present. Bollyn argues that the US government’s official story (that the Twin Towers were hit by hijacked planes piloted by Muslim terrorists) is not only incorrect, it is absurd. He is not alone. The “911 truth movement,” as it is called, is as big as it gets for counter theories. Some very high-placed government, military, professional and other groups and individuals have vociferously registered their suspicions that 911 was “an inside job.”4 On the other side are many others who, though they may be suspicious of an inside job, are too frightened to say so. Bollyn quotes Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski (USAF ret.) from her monograph 911 and American Empire: Intellectuals Speak Out, Vol. 1, 2006, stating these sobering words: “I have been told by reporters that they will not report their own insights or contrary evaluations of the official 911 story, because to question the government story about 911 is to question the very foundation of our entire modern belief system regarding our government, our country, and our way of life. To be charged with questioning these foundations is far more serious than being labeled a disgruntled conspiracy nut or anti-government traitor, or even being sidelined or marginalized within an academic, government service, or literary career. To question the official 911 story is simply and fundamentally revolutionary. In this way, of course, questioning the official story is also simply and fundamentally American.” Perhaps Mr. Bollyn is also in the throes of a revolution. Unlike many books that deal with 911, Mr. Bollyn’s is different in that it spends about 80 percent of the time uncovering who did the dastardly deed rather than how the buildings came down. As such, his title, Solving 9-11, is not as revealing as it could be. It might better be titled with the same words that Bollyn quotes on page 144 from Dr. Alan Sabrosky, Director of Strategic Studies at the US Army War College5: “It is 100 percent certain that 9-11 was a Mossad operation. Period.”6 General Hamid Gul, former Pakistan intelligence chief, agrees: “It was a Zionist/Neo Con conspiracy. It was an inside job. They wanted to go on world conquest, looking at it as an opportunity window when the Muslim world was lying prostrate; Russia was nowhere in sight; China was still not an economic giant that it has turned out to be. And they thought this was a good time to fill those strategic areas which are still lying without any American presence; and of course to control the energy tap of the world. Presently it is the Middle East and in the future it is going to be central Asia.”7 Francesco 4 http://www.opednews.com/articles/genera_alan_mil_080112_twenty_five_u_s__mil.htm; http://patriotsquestion911.com/; http://pilotsfor911truth.org/; 5 http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article23460.htm; http://www.bigeye.com/sabrosky.htm; http://www.veteranstoday.com/2011/07/17/911-and-israel-alan-sabroskys-shocking-press-tv-interview/ 6 See the interview of Dr. Sabrosky four part interview at (1) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bT5IVEQuzv8&feature=related (2) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=- EV4SIG9NIs&feature=relmfu (3) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcCiyKFPC08&feature=relmfu (4) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wx6I9bOhWrM&feature=relmfu 7 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7Lbmb0-ibQ&feature=related; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSLgC4cTKcs 2 Cossiga, former Italian president, is of the same opinion, telling Italy’s most respected newspaper that the attacks were run by the CIA and Mossad: “all the [intelligence services] of America and Europe ... now know well that the disastrous attack has been planned and realized from the CIA American and the Mossad with the aid of the Zionist world in order to put under accusation the Arabic Countries and in order to induce the western powers to take part ... in Iraq [and] Afghanistan.”8 In September 2001 the Washington Times ran a story from the Army School of Advanced Military Studies which said of the Mossad: “Wildcard. Ruthless and cunning. Has capability to target US forces and make it look like a Palestinian/Arab act.”9 As for Sabrosky, in our day and age when the “anti-semitic” label is thrown around with abandon, there is one fact we should know about Dr. Sabrosky to help accept his conclusion: he is part Jewish on his father’s side. He thus corroborates the numerous other experts who have finally connected the dots about a massive Israeli undercover invasion into America. Internet sites such as Wikispooks have a compete dossier on all the Jewish connections to 911, titled “911: Israel Did It” at https://wikispooks.com/wiki/9/11:Israel_did_it. Many others have the same information, including the story that the WTC complex already had “emergency nuclear demolition devices” built into the base of the structures.10 Bollyn is also quite candid about his belief that the Israeli orchestration of 911 is not in a vacuum. Toward the middle of the book he writes of Thomas Paine’s warning in 1802 of a revolution by “a faction, acting in disguise, rising in America; they had lost sight of first principles. They were beginning to contemplate government as a profitable monopoly, and the people as hereditary property.” Bollyn then adds, “The rising faction I noticed taking control in the 1980s was primarily Jewish by ethnicity, and Zionist by ideology.” Having spent some time in Europe and the Middle East, he “returned to the United States in the late 1970s and found the discourse in the media about Zionism to be extremely one-sided and distorted. Zionism, a nationalist ideology based on race, was misrepresented in the US media as being a progressive and democratic movement while the state of Israel was depicted as being a kosher slice of America…Honest and unbiased coverage of Israel and the Middle East became increasingly difficult to find in the US in the 1980s and 1990s. The sale of Ted Turner’s progressive Cable News Network (CNN) to Gerald M. Levin of AOL Time Warner, and the transformation of the previously informative Christian Science Monitor marked the end of the two independent unbiased news outlets.
