Alice in Wonderland and the World Trade Center Disaster- Why the official story of 9/11 is a monumental lie (http://www.davidicke.com/icke/) by David Icke is another book which some people will dismiss completely because of David's "wild stuff." I hadn't read any of his previous works and lots of people told me that I should read his work which they agreed with (except the weird shapeshifting reptilian stuff), and I must admit I was very curious about this guy and delighted to receive a review copy of his work to see for myself. He has a huge website and has written many books and lectured all over about "the ruling class," who has sought to control humanity for thousands of years. It is within this context that he analyzes the events of September 11th, and the key players.

I must say I do have a great amount of respect for David, for having the courage to voice a belief system which is definitely not a popular one, and also for having the courage and energy to physically follow up and investigate the story of what really happened on September 11th and going to the airports, the FBI, and asking questions. He has certainly done more to discover the truth about 9-11 than the so-called "Independent Commission" and "Joint House/Senate Intelligence Oversight Committee" whose mandate is to cover 9-11 up and use it to "strengthen the C.I.A.," justify "Homeland Security," and direct blame away from the White House and guilty operatives. Unfortunately, I'm afraid many will simply dismiss Icke's work because of the larger conspiracy that he keeps referring to ("for details buy my other books`") which is beyond the realm of "possibility" for most people.

Pentagate (http://www.carnot..fr/ouvrage.asp?CatalogId=191) by Thierry Meyssan, is the second book by a French author whose photographs, posted on the internet, questioning whether a Boeing hit the Pentagon stunned the world. I read a battered copy, lent to me by an activist who had come all the way from Florida to meet up with 9-11 activists in California; he used the book as his primary tool to convince skeptics through the photos that the 9-11 narrative was an enormous lie. I must say it's almost breathtakingly stunning in its contents and photos, and includes information about a fire that occurred in the Old Executive Building of the White House, on the morning of September 11th that received almost no publicity. When we were demonstrating against Bush in Burlingame last June, I was also stunned to hear Kevin Danaher of Global Exchange finally start talking about 9-11 and citing Meyssan's evidence that "no plane hit the Pentagon." This book definitely should be checked out- I just wish I knew how to get them by the case.

The Party's Over- Oil, War and the Fate of Industrial Societies (http://www.museletter.com/partys-over.html) by Richard Heinberg, in startling contrast to Icke's work, this is a very well documented book, which effectively challenges modern myths about the inexhaustible supply of energy. Richard spoke at the Aftermath screening on Earth Day and eloquently described the deeper politics behind the wars over the remaining fossil fuels in the age of diminishing supplies. The harsh truths and choices are not being articulated by our politicians, but Richard clearly delineates them in this extremely timely, important, book.

Drugs, Oil, and War: The United States in Afghanistan, Colombia, and Indochina (http://socrates.berkeley.edu/~pdscott/Dates3.html) by Peter Dale Scott is another extremely well documented book which includes an updated version of the banned "War Conspiracy" that Scott wrote during the Vietnam Era which explores the links between the C.I.A. and drug trafficking and geo-politics. This is another huge piece of the 9-11 puzzle and very important to understanding the C.I.A. and U.S. foreign policy.

Consciousness is rising. The peace groups who didn't want to "think about U.S. complicity" are beginning to come around. The Deception Dollars (http://www.deceptiondollar.com) we created last October have been enthusiastically spread by activists throughout the United States and the world; we're on our Fifth printing now and over 2,000,000 of them are in circulation; they have been added to the collections of museums, featured on television, in print, included in radio interviews, and passed out to a Rockefeller family gathering. People have also lost their jobs, and been followed for distributing them and other 9-11 materials, but the tide is turning, Bush is losing popularity and his credibility continues to diminish.

Thank-God for art, humor, creativity and courage! The movement is growing. Public Forums, Teach-Ins, Film Screenings, Marches and Demonstrations are actively being planned for September. The movement still lies beneath the radar screen of the mainstream press, while headlines reveal the desperate "damage control" efforts of the Bush Administration and the hawkish Democrats. Plans are in the works for a 3 days of special programming on Pacifica Radio to coincide with forums in New York City and throughout the country. There is more and more room for the grassroots, and politicians to speak out, and put a halt to the rampages of the current Administration.

New avenues of research on 9-11 are opening up and new synergies/collaborations developing as relationships/networking occur, and I remain optimistic that the truth will emerge. Ultimately, the vast majority of us, working together, should be able to halt the war profiteers and redirect resources from terrorizing, killing and controlling the planet towards healing, and nurturing healthy relationships between all people and all life.
