Towers of Deception: The Media Cover-up of 9-11

by Barrie Zwicker

A dozen carefully-researched books have exposed the official story of 9/11 to be a terror fraud. Yet the mainstream media have monolithically failed to ask elementary questions about anomalies in this story. So-called alternative media have been little better. Towers of Deception explains why and prescribes actions to break out the truth. Authored by a lifelong journalist who was for 35 years a media critic, Towers of Deception provides 26 "Exhibits" of evidence proving "beyond a reasonable doubt" that 9/11 was an inside job. It then presents case histories of de facto censorship by mainstream media and examines the psychological phenomenon of denial. "False flag" operations and psychological warfare are dealt with in detail, as is the "Invisible Government"-the powers pulling strings behind the scenes. Following a profile of Dr. David Ray Griffin as an authentic prophet of the 9-11 Truth movement, Towers of Deception urges people to speak truth to power and challenge all media. Interspersed with photographs, diary entries and inspiring profiles of those who see 9/11 Truth as the Achilles Heel of the neocon agenda, Towers of Deception includes a professional quality DVD produced by the The Great The 9/11 News Special You Never Saw .

Written by highly acclaimed Journalist Barrie Zwicker, this is a believable analytical rendering of why the big Media outlets have never gone against their Bosses' and Big Government in all the many, many points of investigation concerning what really happened on the morning of 9/11. Fox, ABC, NBC, CBS and a few other TV conglomerations take and shallow the White House wishes of Spinning in all circumstances that a normal rational view is somewhat fishy and help create the fear and uncertainty being done in the US and elsewhere. The major Newspapers are of the same and very rarely do they print anything even slightly derogatory against what Washington dictates as factual or doublespeak in their usual nature due to being totally in the so-called back pocket of Oil and Big Business. Hence, the public is being duped. And killed at the hands of CIA.

In the book there is 26 items of documented facts of strange things on that morning, plus there are many more but the Author decided to show the stronger example of why did certain members of the US Government and some covert secretly funded millions Government Agencies created a False Flag and let 9/11 happen instead to instill fear and revenge within the masses. No WMD were found to warrant war mongering Overseas, grabbing Oil and disrupting many, many people's lives. Another Pearl Harbor has been fabricated.

One of the 'False-Flag's that struck my interest was an attack on the Coast of Canada by a Japanese Sub that was not true, but it caused the internment of the Japanese born in both Canada and the States.

Another couple are the bombings in Madrid and London where things are 'fishy'.

The Russian Schoolhouse incident? There was evidence of US and UK covert backing.

Operations Northwoods and Mockingbird?

Paul Wellstone? Sonny Bono? Both were 'taken-out' just before bringing some nasty deeds going on in Washington to light.

I heard there existed some documented proof of a evil Cheney paper-trail being destroyed at the point of impact on the Pentagon...

Most people do think 9/11 was an inside job. I already knew most of what is in this book and know the US is getting to be a scary place to reside. Hell, the rest of the Earth is becoming scary too.

Pass over the Noam Chomsky Chapter unless you want to see rants of denials about JFK and 9/11.

Do a search for the name of General Smedley Butler. A fellow American that business interests wanted to set him up as another Hitler dictatorship in the US before the plans fell apart.

As a side-note: So What Exactly Are the Latest Revelations About Koch Industries?

Lois Beckett, News Analysis: “In 2008, in the wake of a $1.6 billion settlement by the German engineering giant Siemens for bribing officials around the world, Koch conducted an internal investigation of its own payment practices. The company found that its France-based affiliate, Koch-Glitsch, had paid illegal bribes to secure contracts in India, Africa and the Middle East, including bribes to government officials, a practice banned by the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.” And the thing is: no one will actually be charged regarding this.

There is mention in the book about a weapon that was developed called Metal Storm that is like a modern-day gatling gun capable of firing up to a million bullets a minute.

Just like a line the spin-doctors proclaim: 'It's plausible.'

Even the current protests of Wall Street may be a blessing for the Powers That Be in directing Suicide Bombers into the Protester's amidst and again using fear of any public assembly; and then more draconian security measures will be passed by the current corrupt Congress who are out of touch in keeping the 99% down and not be so uppity. Make a great Novel.

If you do see a copy of this yes, read and please at least use your own judgement. We are Sheep and are seen as needing a Governmental shearing. FEMA has the camps built.

And the Media outlets are silent.

This is a hefty book. About 350 pages of pretty small print. I highly recommend it because not only will it help you understand 9-11 better, it will help you see the world more clearly. The book mainly deals with the media's treatment of the 9-11 issue. There's basically just one chapter that discusses the evidence which shows that the official story is false. And that's okay, because the media cover-up of 9-11 is indeed one of the most fascinating aspects of 9-11. And it's not just the mainstream media that's covering up the biggest crime in American history. It's not just the Right. It's the Left too. As Zwicker says: "The almost total uniformity within Left media in sync with the White House and Right media is more than puzzling."

Chapter five, the Chomsky chapter, is a favorite of many people and indeed it is excellent. In this chapter Zwicker does a brilliant job of exposing Noam Chomsky as a member of the controlled opposition. That's right, Chomsky works for the bad guys. Chomsky knows the official story is bogus, but for selfish reasons he pretends he believes it and he publicly supports it. The official story is so ridiculous and so full of holes that anyone who takes just a little time to honestly and objectively study the situation can only come away with the conclusion that the official story is a big lie. It's very hard to believe that a smart guy like Chomsky can't figure out this very simple puzzle.

Of course it's not just Chomsky. This chapter also includes a list of media people who support the official story but who should know better. Many of these people not only refuse to question the official story, but they ridicule those who do. This list includes people like Alexander Cockburn, David Corn, Greg Palast, David Barsamian, and Amy Goodman of Hypocrisy Now. Of course there are many more media people who deserve to be on this list of shame, including a guy who I really used to like, Bill Maher. He's the host of Real Time and likes to "keep it real" by enthusiastically supporting the official 9-11 lie.

By the way, if the truth about 9-11 ever comes out into the mainstream, I wonder how these people will explain the fact that they participated in the cover-up of the murder of 3000 innocent Americans. At the end of the book, Zwicker suggests one way they might respond: "We didn't know." But of course they did know.

I feel this is a very important work. I've always been fascinated by the corporate media's coverage of events like this (the JFK assassination is my specialty), and how our "approved history" is created and accepted by the masses.

Zwicker does a fine job examining how official stories take hold in the popular imagination, how reporters resist questioning them, and how even many "leftists" become gatekeepers to restrict debate. The chapter on Noam Chomsky is distressing, but not a surprise to those who have witnessed his defense of the official JFK assassination story. He also delves into the psychological reasons for human denial and self-deception about disturbing issues like this one. There is also a nice tribute to the research of David Ray Griffin.

Strangely, his chapter on historical false flag events does not include the USS Liberty attack, which apparently was done with the intention of blaming Egypt so the US could jump into the Six Day War on Israel's side.

Zwicker writes: "Once a storyline has taken hold, two universal tendencies emerge. One is to downplay or even dismiss facts that don't fit the story, along with the arguments brought forward to support it. The second tendency is to play up and make central anything that fits the story."

"You see it in on-line chat rooms. One person says he's convinced that the WTC towers were brought down by controlled demolition. Immediately, someone responds with, 'Don't you understand that 3,000 innocent people died that day?!' This mother of all non sequiturs is encouraged by the dark forces behind the demolitions. False-flag operations are designed to inflame emotions and overcome rational thought. The confusion reinforces the Big Lie."

This book does a great job of demonstrating how the media has ignored the mountain of evidence that puts the lie to the official version of 9/11, and in particular, shows Noam Chomsky's dishonest and systemic (no pun intended) denial of conspiracy while at the same time claiming he knows nothing about the evidence. According to Chomsky the laws of physics have been suspended at Dealey Plaza and the World Trade Center.

[Mike · Rating 3 out of 5]

If you suspect that 9-11 was an inside job and ever wondered why the mainstream media won't touch the overwhelming evidence of complicity by elements within the Bush administration, then read this book. You will never look at world events, such as the current election crisis riots in Tehran, in the same way again. Nothing is as it seems.

[Solomon · Rating 4 out of 5]

Important because of the section on Chomsky's prevarication

[Diane Thompson · Rating 1 out of 5]

I had a hard time with it, for me there was too much abstract opinion. Analysis of how the human brain processes bad news etc. or criticisms of people who disagree with his theory. I was hoping to find some concrete information or facts. To be fair, I didn't read every line, I started out that way but he lost me about one third of the way, from there on in I just flipped through to the end. Disappointed.

An interesting account of the actions or possibly inactions of the events that lead up to 9/11.

Truth: Noam Chomsky is
a world-class propagandist!
Linguist plays word games.
