Product Description

Griffin starts by establishing the American Empire as real and not benign, quoting numerous authors on the left and right. Then, following the reasoning put forth in his highly acclaimed book The New Pearl Harbor and his more recent book The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions, he gives abundant evidence that the 9/11 attacks were orchestrated by the Bush administration, for the purpose of expanding this empire. The talk concludes with suggestions of what we can do about this situation. A question-and-answer period follows.

Customer Reviews

911 Truth
David Ray Griffin does an excellent job of explaining the falsehood of the official story of 911. With his systematic method of revealing the truth about what happened and showing the official story full of holes David Ray Griffin is able to help the layman understand the truth. I would recommend anyone who is looking for truth about the attacks on the trade center and building 7 to see anything by Dr. David Ray Griffin.

Informative and Incredibly Articulated
In this documentary, David Ray Griffin sets out to explain his position on 9/11. He gives credible, logical and well articulated responses to some of the many fallacies given in the 9/11 Commission Report. The lecture Griffin gives is concurrently thought provoking and bloodcurdling. Griffin does an amazing job critically analyzing facts surrounding the events of 9/11 to come to logical and well thought out conclusions.

The subject matter in the film contains information such as the Pentagon strike, the World Trade Center and the preexisting knowledge of the attacks. Some of the information in the Pentagon attacks was new to me, such as the fact that the Pentagon is protected with an anti aircraft/missile defense system, and things that were not new, such as the collapse of WTC Building 7 due to fire (which was on a mere 2 floors of the nearly 50 story building). I also liked the fact that Griffin pointed out that no building constructed the same or similar to the World Trade Center had previously, or subsequently, collapsed due to fire. Without giving the rest of the film away that is all I will speak of the evidence he gives but there are many fascinating details given.

The only problem I had with this documentary were Griffins closing statements. In retrospect it should have been no surprise to me that Griffin, a deeply religious man (he is a Professor of theology and religion), would throw in the religious implications and how people of religion should act given the knowledge of the facts surrounding 9/11. I don't personally feel that it was necessary to force the religious aspect in because the reality is that all American citizens, no matter their religious denominations or beliefs, would have the same moral outrage given the knowledge from this film. Admittedly this is but a small part of the film and does no real disservice to the facts of the film.

Conclusively I feel that Griffins film is incredibly informative and well articulated. I give Griffin great credit and applause for his ability to take factual information, critically analyze it and come to a conclusion that is difficult to accept but there can honestly be no other conclusion. Fantastic job Dr. Griffin.
