Has anyone read "Crossing the Rubicon" by Michael Ruppert?

Question

If so Id like some thoughts.

Did you read the book James? All of the questions you ask are addressed in the book.

Answer 1

Absolutely absurd. How could the US have helped 9/11? Why would they? How would no one have come up with any credible evidence after all these years? What reason is there to think that it was not a well-planned attack, run by a large group of Arab terrorists? I think that is the story that fits the evidence.

They're not addressed in any plausible way. Vast conspiracies don't actually happen or work. Someone always finds out, and yet there's no evidence of this conspiracy.

Edit: Jets did not intercept the planes because they are stationed hundreds of miles from where they were and were not alerted until shortly before the planes crashed. The FAA notified NORAD at 8:40 and planes were scrambled 6 minutes later, 153 miles from the World Trade Center and the first plane crashed at about that time. http://mckinneysucks.blogspot.com/2002_06_01_mckinneysucks_archive.html#77997492

The buildings fell quickly because they were crashed into by giant airliners. It seems like a building like that should be able to withstand more, but neither you, nor I, nor Ruppert, nor even the engineers who built the towers know what it is like for a plane to crash into a building. The commission report clearly states that the plane struck main support beams and started fires that raged at intense temperatures, further weakining the already weakened supports. Once that happens it doesn't take long for a building to collapse onto itself.

As for WTC7, the report is clear enough that fires were started on several floors by debris. People say it looks too controlled, but they failr to realize that buildings that tall are made to crumble down and not out. If a main beam buckles, there's no momentum to throw debris out - the force is all down.

How long it took to form a commission is a question I have myself, but that alone does not make a conspiracy.

As for explosions, see this: http://www.geocities.com/factsnotfantasy/ExplosivesDebunked.html

Answer 2

Yes, and it's quite plausible that a conspiracy of some sort existed because of the many things that has followed the event. I hope someday someone is able to prove it.........

Answer 3

No, never heard of him or the book.

Answer 4

No.....But if anyone is and have good thinking about that book I read it too.......I love to read........

Answer 5
