Mounting Evidence: Why We Need a New Investigation into 9/11
In one volume, Mounting Evidence provides the most important evidence accumulated over many years that calls into question the governments account of 9/11. Any citizen of conscience reading it will demand a new investigation.
Mike Gravel, United States Senate, 1969-1981
Theres little doubt the tragic attacks on 9/11 soon became the defining events of our time, shaping much of what has followed. But even now, over a decade later, how well does the public actually understand them?
Other researchers have written about key facets of 9/11-the fall of World Trade Center buildings, the air-defense failures, the backgrounds of the hijackers, or the role of the Saudi funders. This impressively researched volume, however, is the first comprehensive treatment of the many different angles. It connects the dots to reveal disturbing patterns. Years after many of us thought the Crime of the Century was solved, case closed, additional evidence demands a closer look. These findings, which Dr. Rea presents in a lively, accessible way, call out for a new investigation.
In Mounting Evidence, Dr. Rea shows how, by understanding the shattering events of that dark day, Americans can end seemingly endless wars, take back personal liberties theyve lost, and restore their democracy.

A RECENT SUMMARY OF THE REVISIONIST "TRUTHER" CLAIMS ABOUT 9/11
Paul W. Rea is also the author of 'Still Seeking the Truth About 9/11: Exposing Fallacies in the "Official Story"'. He wrote in the Prologue to this 2011 book, "It challenges conventional assumptions about the country's political system, intelligence agencies, and corporate mass media..."
He notes, "CNN's story about the 'collapse' of WTC-7 an hour BEFORE it happened... BBC's coverage followed, fully 23 minutes BEFORE the building actually came down." (Pg. 75) He writes, "Just hours after the attacks, sixteen employees at New York's Air Traffic Control Center... made an audio recording to capture what they'd experienced that day. That afternoon, an FAA 'quality assurance manager' shredded the tape into small pieces and stuffed them into different trash cans." (Pg. 109)
He is strongly critical of the 9/11 Commission, which "evaded issues and covered the failings---or even the complicity---of prominent politicians." (Pg. 132) Later, he concludes, "Again the Commission went out of its way to exonerate the White House." (Pg. 271) He notes, "at least 140 Saudi nationals---including twenty bin Laden family members---boarded private jets that flew them home... The first of these secret charters operated outside of the no-fly rules still in effect at the time..."(Pg. 329-330)
He suggests, "The 9/11 attacks have had the predictable effect of enlarging the budgets or the profits of powerful intelligence, military, paramilitary, and corporate institutions... (and) led to a bloating of the national security state." (Pg. 365)
He asserts, "to imagine that all 35 calls which went through were made from seat-back phones ... could reasonably account for SOME of the 35 calls, but surely not all." (Pg. 460) Concerning Larry Silverstein's "pull it" statement, he asks, "one has to wonder why the insurer's attorneys didn't argue it" (rather than paying billions in damages). (Pg. 505) He notes in conclusion, "most successful propaganda contains elements of truth... it seems highly likely that al Qaeda Islamists DID exist, DID take flying lessons, and DID fly those airliners. But this doesn't mean they didn't receive help, past or present, passive or active." (Pg. 527)
Rea's book is more a compendium of conclusions and ideas proposed first by others; but it is still a massively detailed summation, and engagingly written.
