So don't expect me to respond to any replies to this thread anytime soon -- this is one terrific book and it looks like it will be claiming my undivided attention for a while.

1. WHOO!

Read on! Hopefully it will be claiming a lot of people's undivided attention. I've seen Ruppert speak, and if what he's put in this book is anywhere near as captivating as his oratory it could make the impact of Fahrenheit 9/11 seem like that of a peanut butter commercial in comparison.

2. Ruppert is the man.... he must have some absolutely terrific

sources inside the CIA, FBI or maybe Crawford Texas!! I don't know how one man could be so damn sharp... watch excerpts of him from Iran Contra era....

>>Tracking the covert history of CIA drug smuggling from Nicaragua to Arkansas and South Central Los Angeles, GNN sheds light on the darkest secret of the Agency's operational directorate. Cut to the ambient Hip Hop loops of DJ Trek-e, Crack The CIA features explosive footage of Mike Ruppert's historical televised confrontation with CIA Director John Deutch.<<

6. Yes, with Michael Ruppert & Michael Moore

the Archangel Michael has a run for his money.

I happened to catch Ruppert's speech to the Commonwealth Club on the radio. Going to his website, I found the book for sale, but I was broke. Then I noticed that they took PayPal. I had just stopped my subscriptions to several online game sites ($5 or $6 a month each) because of my financial situation, and I'd been paying them through PayPal. So when I checked my PayPal account, I had just enough to buy the book with a few cents over.

I'm not the fastest reader, but so far the book has been even more captivating than the speech. A speech has to be pared down to fit within narrow times limits, but a book can explain things and add documents and footnotes. This is a goldmine.

I was astonished to hear Ruppert tell the Commonwealth Club that Dick Cheney had responsibility for 9/11. I thought, "How can he say that and get away with it?" Now I know. Think about Cheney withholding documents from Congress. Or about the White House not permitting a process server to legally serve Cheney with a subpoena. Ruppert has the evidence, and all the perps can do, even when they know that their friends on the Supreme Court will rule in their favor, is to try to avoid the discovery process that litigation would permit, so that the public doesn't know the truth.

5. Thanks for the chapter link

Read it once yesterday and once today. I think I'm gonna memorize the whole book so I can recite it to people verbatim whenever they give me that old "what the fuck are you talking about" look whenever I raise any questions about 9/11. You know that look, right?
