6. 9/11 and Related Conspiracies

1
Tenth anniversary 9/11 polls:
The high levels of doubt expressed ten years on about the veracity of the official version of 9/11

were significant. The British ICM pol , conducted on behalf of

Reinvestigate 9/11, found that ‘of those who expressed an opinion 37 per cent agreed that rogue elements in the American intelligence services may have made a decision prior to 9/11 to allow a terrorist attack to take place’. In France, the doubt was more specific, a HEC

poll showing ‘that 58% have doubts compared to 31% who accept

the official story. Half suspect that US authorities deliberately allowed the attacks to take place while a third suspect they were implicated in the execution of 9/11.’ The pol s are discussed at: http://www.911truth.org/article.php?story=20110909085546680

2
resources on 9/11 truth:
The internet is crammed with 9/11 truth websites, but a good starting point is provided at: http://www.

ae911truth.org/links.php. In terms of books, readers are probably best advised to start by searching out some of the ten or so

meticulously researched titles by David Ray Griffin (which began

with
The New Pearl Harbor
(Olive Branch Press, 2004)). Griffin’s level-headed analyses quickly leave most people convinced that

the true facts of 9/11 have been obfuscated, whatever the ultimate reality.
