Politics

Millions of people now know the main arguments for the thesis "9/11 was an inside job", starting from the controlled demolition of the World Trade Center buildings No. 1, 2 and 7. Even a champion of orthodoxy like Time Magazine was obliged to note that the "9/11 Truth Movement" is no longer "a fringe phenomenon. It is a mainstream reality." Kevin Barrett takes this now-familiar thesis as a springboard to new territory in this book. Like Jack Kerouac in "On the Road", Barrett has written a gospel for a new generation of post-9/11 sceptics. This ebullient book strikes a confident keynote for this sudden coming of age. It is a tonic draft of courage for millions of disenfranchised 9/11 truthers -- and for the uneasy majority who sense that America, once a beacon of ideals for humanity, is no longer on the right track. "Truth Jihad" is the first "9/11 Truth" book that is not primarily tasked with proving 9/11 was an inside job to our fellow humanity, who remain blindly trapped inside the mainstream media bubble. For millions of us the facts are already painfully clear now -- as is the frustration of trying to convey the harsh truth to those who aren't ready for it. This book is a sharing of that experience, and an affirmation of life and literature after 9/11 -- a lively celebration of art, freedom, truth and protest.
