Hijacking America's Mind on 9/11: Counterfeiting Evidence

by Elias Davidsson

A large body of literature discusses the preplanned destruction of the Twin Towers and of WTC Nr.7, while mainstream media have extensively reported about the reluctance of the Bush administration to investigate 9/11, the destruction of criminal evidence from Ground Zero and other facts suggesting a government cover-up. But they all stopped short of connecting the dots. Four features distinguish Davidsson's book from the rest. He - The definite (or ultimate) demonstration that there is no evidence of Muslim hijackers - Evidence that at least two of the four aircraft were still airborne after the alleged crash time - The most exacting and comprehensive analysis of the phone calls said to have been made from the aircraft - The presentation of a theory regarding the nature of the phone calls Here, readers are presented with numerous examples where U.S. authorities suppressed crucial information, appear to have forged and planted evidence, attempted to intimidate witnesses and publicized deceptive and mendacious reports. Such conduct would not have taken place if U.S. leaders had been acting in good faith, felt compassion towards the victims of the mass-murder and considered themselves accountable to the American people. This was an unprecedented propaganda coup. While this book concentrates on a relatively narrow aspect of 9/11, there is a need to address a far larger picture, including the facility with which entire nations were deluded within hours to believe in what can be designated as a surreal legend. For the official 9/11 narrative — had it not been systematically and intensively promoted by all major media — would have been good stuff for a book on religious miracles.

Davidsson limits himself to three areas: the crash sites, the four flights, the passenger calls. Some of his conclusions may or may not be true, but he proves the following: the U.S. government and various investigative bodies have provided no evidence that the planes identified as Flights 11, 77, 98 and 175 crashed into their respective targets (he is not a 'no-planer') - at least none that would hold up in a court of law. Accounts, interviews, recordings, and transcripts of the phone calls have been forged, tampered with, ignored, redacted or entirely suppressed. He provides a theory that accounts for all this data, and it makes sense.

After an extensive look at these issues, using primary documents including FBI reports and FOIA-released documents, he concludes that the flights on 9/11 were potentially being used during the military hijack exercises taking place on 9/11. Contra Griffin, the callers probably did make the calls, but either from the ground or a low altitude (the information from the phone calls and that of the official flight paths/altitudes/timelines are irreconcilable). They probably believed they were taking part in a hijacking exercise to test the efficiency of security and information systems during such an attack. Little did they know that the exercise would be made real, and they would die at the hands of those responsible for the 'exercises'. The planes themselves may have been diverted to undisclosed locations when the transponders were switched off, their transponder signals then cloned by other planes, a la Operation Northwoods, that flew to the known crash sites.

Can't say I'm fully convinced of all details, but he makes a strong case - stronger than the 9/11 Commission for sure.

This is probably the most important book I've read about the events of 9/11. Like the work done on the JFK assassination by Harold Weisberg, Sylvia Meagher, Howard Roffman and others, Davidsson meticulously focuses on the government's own evidence, and attempts to release more of it through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The emphasis is on official documentation (or the lack of it), normal procedures not being followed, the lack of photographic evidence, the lack of a chain of possession for the evidence we have been shown, etc.

As with many other events, we have the familiar pattern of the official story being slowly revealed to the public by the corporate media, in quotes attributed to anonymous officials. These leaked stories change frequently until the final "official" version eventually emerges. Sometimes there are several "final" versions (we have three different, conflicting official accounts of President Kennedy's wounds, for example). If the government's investigation into 9/11 were subject to an outside audit by a reputable firm, it would fail miserably.

I challenge anyone who believes the official story to read this book and try to debunk it.

Excellent! Meticulously researched and very thorough. Rational, easy-to-follow analysis of primary sources in a very constructive order. Much of the book covers the complex web that the phone calls create, but the author holds the reader's hand so they can closely follow along. There were many details I had never heard before and explanations that finally enter the realm of plausibility. Although the destruction of the 3 towers (the most persuasive element) are not even covered, I would recommend this book to any person regardless of what stage they are in this fascinating rabbit hole.

So few reviews and ratings for this excellent book. A sad situation. I have recommended it to many people.
As others have pointed out it focuses largely on the phone calls from the planes. It clearly shows how these calls make sense in a scenario of replacement of the original aircraft by drones, probably military versions of the original planes, with the original planes taken to a nearby airport where the passengers were persuaded or coerced into reading from prepared scripts. But a lot less sense as actual responses to a real hijacking.
Davidsson doesn't speculate as to which airport was involved. Dewdney suggested Harrisburg, Roth suggested Westover.
Davidssons analysis is crisp, clear, well argued and based upon comprehensive investigation of the available evidence.
He discusses the already much discussed issue of airphones vs mobile phones..Given the likelihood that some of the messages were from airphones I was concerned at one stage that airphones might not have functioned on the ground but apparently they did.
Hilarious that official accounts were corrected following Dewdneys experiments so as to attribute only liow altitude calls to mobile phones. Well not really very funny but in keeping with the surreal farce that is the official account.
I have seen no detailed consideration of how information from the ground about the impacts on the twin towers would be expected to shape the response of the victims supposedly still in the air on flight au(93, in a situation where they previously believed they were in an exercise. Davidsson does not specifically raise this issue. But his accounts of the calls in question allow readers to do so. One of the passengers at least, expressed 'confusion' on being given this information...

The best book I’ve read on 9/11 so far, surpasses Crossing the Rubicon in some ways, focusing on how the FBI and media were relied on to manage the script after the 9/11 operation, as they did in the wake of the JFK operation.
