Thank You David Ray Griffin


This article is written with unabashed admiration for David Ray Griffin and his tireless efforts to expose the lies and dangerous, deceitful behavior of the federal government and the media regarding the cover-up of the truth behind the 9-11 attacks.  Can there be any thoughtful person who has reviewed the evidence that has now reached tremendous proportions and still deny the fact that 9-11 was an inside job perpetrated on the American people by the Bush-Cheney organization?  Beyond this, the frothing hysteria that emerges from official media and federal agencies whenever the 9-11 cover-up issue is mentioned provides further evidence that the truth is being hidden.  The latest victim of this hysteria was Richard Falk who was castigated by UN officials and Secretary of State Clinton (see http://www.911truth.org/article.php?story=20110201185751747) for making a reference to the official 9-11 cover-up on his own blog.  I was unable to find, through a Google search, any reference to this event being reported by the LA Times or any other media journal.  The cover-up continues.

However, I digress.  I wanted to express my appreciation to Mr. Griffin for his amazing efforts to expose the 9-11 cover-up.  I won’t list all his books that document this cover-up because anyone can search and find them quite easily.  However, the latest book, Cognitive Infiltration, An Obama Appointee’s Plan to Undermine the 9/11 Conspiracy Theory, published in 2011 is a concise and brilliant masterpiece.  I recommend it to anyone who wishes to understand the extent of the official lies we are struggling with.  It is an intelligent, well documented, and brilliantly written critique of an essay by Cass Sunstein, Harvard and Chicago Law School professor and Obama appointee as administrator of the President’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs.  The Sunstein essay, apparently co-written by another Harvard law professor, Adrian Vermeule titled “Conspiracy Theories” and a shortened version “Conspiracy Theories, Causes and Cures,” were posted on line in 2008.  The gist of the articles, as explained by Griffin is to outline how to discredit conspiracy theories, and specifically the 9-11 conspiracy theory supported by the 9-11 Truth movement.  Needless to say, Griffin unmasks this trumped up collection of dangerous nonsense with towering logic and skill.  Using his expert knowledge of existing 9-11 evidence and logic, he explodes every element of this essay, graciously writing his exposé in a way that appears to grant Mr. Sunstein credit as a clever magician who has hidden messages that lead the careful reader to the conclusion that he was actually saying that the “official 9-11 conspiracy” is the dangerous, false one.  I am not sure that I am convinced that Mr. Sunstein  is that smart but I am convinced that David Ray Griffin is a consummate gentleman who has kindly chosen to portray Sunstein in this light while completely destroying Sunstein’s arguments.  The fact that Sunstein was appointed by Obama to such an important position is troubling.  The deep sadness I feel, watching Obama slip further under the dark waves of official lies and deceit bears no repeating.  Can we hope that David Ray Griffin’s idea of Sunstein as a chameleon who actually supports the 9-11 Truth Movement is the reality?  You must decide for yourselves.
