Daniel Hopsicker: Welcome to Terrorland

This review is from: Welcome to Terrorland: Mohamed Atta & the 9-11 Cover-up in Florida (Paperback)

By Phillip M. Rose (Wellington, New Zealand) - See all my reviews

This book, perhaps more than any other, will convince hardened 9/11 skeptics that not only was there a conspiracy involving parties in addition to Al-Qaeda, but that the conspiracy included agencies of the US government.

My reason for targeting 9/11 skeptics in my review is simple -- this book presents facts that can all be verified, and does not engage in theories and speculation. The controlled demolition advocates can have their theories debunked, however unconvincingly. The intrepid researchers who attempt to "follow the money", for example the well documented spike in put options on airline stocks before September 11, 2001, are told that such trading anomalies are nothing out of the ordinary. _Welcome to Terrorland_, on the other hand is based on solid on-the-scene reports and interviews with reliable witnesses.

Mr. Hopsicker reveals that the FBI showed a keen interest in the activities surrounding the Venice, FL flight schools immediately after the 9/11 events. Their interest was not in the realm of investigation, however, as they seemed to have a good grasp of the situation before they came. Their interest was in confiscating evidence, intimidating witnesses, and creating a story about Mohammed Atta that was demonstrably false. Two main facets of the government's Mohammed Atta mythology were that Atta left the Florida West coast in late 2000, never to return, and that he "slipped into the USA unnoticed by authorities". Many credible local witnesses confirm that these are among the many bogus assertions put forth by authorities.

While many people know or at least suspect that the official 9/11 myth is preposterous, they cannot bring themselves to confront the truly frightening concept that their government could participate in a project that led to mass murder, the subsequent murder of a half million Iraqis notwithstanding. The successful disinformation campaigns that have severely weakened the 9/11 Truth Movement provide the skeptical and the fearful with ammunition for the former and excuses for the latter.

Probably the best way for some people to chip away at their fear and/or skepticism is to take a small but important and well-documented piece of the puzzle like _Welcome to Terrorland_, and educate themselves with it. To the fearful who read this book, I believe your fear will turn to anger and a desire to know more about the US government's 9/11 coverup. To the skeptical, please do read the entire book before closing your mind to the possibility that US government agencies could engage in criminal activity on US soil, including obfuscation and witness intimidation, and other more lethal activities.

Updates to the information provided in this book are found on Mr. Hopsicker's excellent website, which is not hard to find.
