I hope everyone will make sure to give this book the rating it deserves on Amazon.

Oh my God!!! When will this insanity end!?!?!

I used to be a Popular Mechanics subscriber. NEVER AGAIN!!!

From the Amazon Editorial Review:

Book Description
A Groundbreaking, meticulous, and scientific analysis of the 9/11 conspiracy theories

The first conspiracy theories about September 11 began to emerge while the wreckage was still smoldering. Today, nearly five years later, hundreds of books and thousands of Web pages are devoted to the idea that the U.S. government encouraged, permitted, or actually carried out the attacks. These theories claim to be based on hard evidence. But an in-depth investigation by POPULAR MECHANICS—first published in the magazine’s March 2005 issue, and now greatly expanded into book form—definitively proves that the evidence most often cited by conspiracy theorists is inaccurate, misinterpreted, or false.

The original article in POPULAR MECHANICS caused a huge groundswell of interest, setting off online debates that continue to this day. Debunking 9/11 Myths expands that investigation to include the 20 most prominent and persistent claims underlying the conspiracy theories, focusing on concrete, physical facts rather than political hypothesizing. Among the issues examined: claims that air traffic control violated standard operating procedures by not immediately intercepting the stricken jets; that the fire caused by the crashes wasnÂ’t actually hot enough to melt steel and cause structural damage in the World Trade Center; that the holes in the Pentagon were too small to have been made by a Boeing 757; and that Flight 93 was actually shot down by an Air Force plane.

The fascinating and in-depth findings come from leading experts in all the relevant fields, including aviation, air defense, air traffic control, civil engineering, firefighting, metallurgy, and geology.

With a foreword by Senator John McCain. "

What can one book with 20 selected issues do the truth movement? We have dozens, if not hundreds books on our side.

;)

good point about letting the issues speak. my co-worker, a rightwinger, saw loose change, then a rebuttal video, and now i see him all over google video looking at all kinds of presentations, presumably from the convention or who knows what. at least it got him thinking. and with the sketchy (guilty) demeanor of our administration, many people might start looking deeper. PM does have a trust thing with a lot of the john and pop-technology crowd.

i liked those freeway signs that guymade on the video. time to push this issue more to the front. on another note, my mother, who is what i would call an npr liberal, is beginning to see the light via D.R. griffins essays. the point she makes is, what do i think will happen if/when the truth gets out. do i really expect the bush apologists to think its anything more than a "liberal" or "democrat" movement to get Bsh, what we've always wanted anyway...

wasn't there a study done on republicans in the last 50 years or so being definitively more "follower" than Democrats, hence, why the democrat platform is often so fractured, and since the RNC groupthink has been working, many of the DNC career pols, ie. Lieberman et al, have tried to use the same simplistic type of logic.

thing is we're not buying it. but will enough republicans to make ths more than a partisan issue?

i do think that a lot of fiscal republicans will possibly see the light, being more bottom line oriented - the Bush admin has issues with the bottom line with money, word and deed.

but we do need to get the word out there in more ways, expecially to get people thinking. we need to limit the ways we look like idiots though. one reason i'm a big supporter of the scholars.

we all just do what we can, and try to keep some peace of mind, as hard as that is.

The Hidden Hand of the CIA, 911, and Popular Mechanics

"American Free Press revealed that Benjamin Chertoff, the 25-year-old senior researcher who authored the 9/11 article, is related to Michael Chertoff, the new Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)."

NEVER HAS BEEN!

Ok the book isn't out yet, so maybe people aren't really buying it yet, but look at the stats from Amazon:

What do customers ultimately buy after viewing items like this?

So, that's 89% "Conspiracy Theory" and 11% Popular Mechanics bullshit. Not a bad ratio... hopefully as it gets released the ratio won't fluctuate too much.

Also, do you think that anyone will be promoting this book on talk shows, radio shows and news programs?

Good lord I would hate to see someone promoting this on the Daily Show! Maybe Colbert could have them on and rip them a new one...

I think we should encourage people if they buy this book to also take a look at DRG. I think a better place to start might be the 9/11 (c)omission report.

Oh sweet jesus i don't want to see McCain promoting this book on television.

fyi to the person posting stuff from American Free Press / Bollyn -

The American Free Press is an ultra-right-wing Holocaust denial publication.

http://www.oilempire.us/holocaust-denial.html#afp

http://911review.com/denial/holocaust.html

The American Free Press is a weekly newspaper in the United States. It was founded in 2001 as the successor to The Spotlight, which ceased publication in 2001 when its parent company, Liberty Lobby, was forced into bankruptcy. The paper was founded by former Spotlight staffers.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Free_Press

The Spotlight was a weekly newspaper in the United States, published from 1975 to 2001 by a now-defunct organization called Liberty Lobby. While The Spotlight ran articles and editorials professing a populist political orientation, aimed at audiences across the political spectrum, critics have called the newspaper a subtle recruiting tool for the extreme right-wing and noted the subtle inclusion of anti-Semitism and white supremacy undertones in the articles, and advertisements for openly neo-Nazi books and organizations in the classified ad section.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Spotlight

I actually can't wait to ready this book. I wonder if they get into Pakistani ISI, Able Danger, Saudi Visa Express, Robert Wright, John Oneil, Sibel Edmonds, etc? I guess not.

There should be a book written on why noones been truly charged or tried in connection to 9/11. Hell, one of the main Hamburg Cell planners Mamoun Darkazanli was let free by a Spanish court...turns out he was have possibly been a CIA informant.

Oh yeah, maybe the PM book can explain Cheney's actions on 9/11 for us:)

Oh, and I can't believe I actually stood up for Mccain. Shoulda known he's just a neocon shill.

LOL, I was the one who first brought up on various sites how Protocols of Zion spends a lot of the film equating 9/11 Truth with anti Semite neo nazi beliefs. Seriously, ya guys should see it, it's amazing how twisted the facts are with this HBO documentary.

I as a truther want to be proven wrong. I pray that I am proven wrong. I am willing to look at any evidence that supports the governments case. If it makes sense and is supported by the facts, then I will believe it.

I have read and re-read the 9/11 Commission Report. In my honest estimation... EVERY ASSERTION OF FACT CONCERNING THE PERPETRATORS OF THIS ATTACK IS A LIE!!!!!

But please, don't take my word for it... SHOW ME WHERE I'M WRONG!!! SOMEBODY!!! ANYBODY!!!

http://www.9-11commission.gov/report/911Report.pdf

I'M MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GONNA TAKE THIS ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm looking forward to the book, I'm always open to hearing all sides of the story.

I guess this is another statement that "they" (the opposite side propagating lies and deceit) will crush and destroy the 9/11 movement. Is not their intention to publicly associate the 9/11 truth movement with domestic terrorists and political traitors and "educate" the mainstream that 9/11 truthers are endangering American families and children? Don't these governmental people have intentions to dominate the world and outer space and to crush anyone who disagrees with them?

The only reason they would write a book like this is because they are scared shitless. This book will backfire on them. It will go the way of their article they published a while back. Actually it will call more attention to 9/11. That is a good thing. The truth about 9/11 is self-evident. People are waking up en-mass. It is too late to stop it. 9/11 truth has exploded.

"This book will backfire on them."

Everything they bring up about 9/11 will backfire from here on in. Movies, books, anniversaries.

I tried to post at Amazon in response to the upcoming hit-book from Popular Mechanics, at:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/158816635X/ref=cm_cd_posted/104-2039591... ...but one must have purchased from Amazon before being able to post, which I haven't. If any of you can do it, please feel free to post the following, if you'd like:

Before Buying This Book, Investigate For Yourself
People, do not buy another slanted publication from Popular Mechanics on 911 before doing some investigation for yourself. Here are two of many sites that methodically debunk PM's first hit piece on the 911 subject:

Fine "Anonymous". Just read it in the bookstore. Don't give PM your money.

Is anyone brave enough to post at Amazon.com with their real name? Are not the criminals in the government gathering and compiling names of people who are challenging them? Are they not intending to use these lists against people who will be defined as domestic terrorists and eventually take them from their homes, jobs, and elsewhere and lock in them in the Civilian Inmate Labor Prisons on army bases (especially if there is another attack on U.S. soil)?

We have to accept something as Truthers people, the government has the power of control. This book will be promoted on TV and all the usual 24-Hour news networks. CNN, MSNBC, FOX. The truth is, for a while now, the skepdics have been on the defense. Now this anti-conspiracy book comes out and the apologists will see this as their Bible. The book is even AIMED AT the 911 Truth Movement. It says it's supported by scientists...but we're not going to know how true that is until we read it.

"Is anyone brave enough to post at Amazon.com with their real name?"

If you think that we don't know your name already, you're mistaken;)

Yeah read first in the bookstore...then donate the money to 9/11 blogger or some other worthy group

When I say the skepdics, I mean the Bush apologists.

A lot of Americans DONT KNOW there is "9/11 conspiracy theories", so this book can only help get people thinking. Besides, it only focuses on a few theories...AVOIDS foreknowlege, funding, ISI, etc. Why is that?

Because of his bravado, I guess JustListening plans to wind up as an inmate in one of the Civilian Inmate Labor Prisons on a U.S. Army base? Do other people think they will wind up there too because of their 9/11 beliefs? ;)
