On April 1, 2006 two of the premier figures of the 9/11 Truth Movement appeared back-to-back on the University of Washington campus in Seattle to discuss where that movement currently stands as well as the issues motivating it.  These lectures are now available on DVD at ProgressivePress.com or Amazon.com.

Barrie Zwicker delivered an effective presentation stressing why progressives need to unite behind the effort to promote an independent investigation into what happened that tragic day when the Twin Towers collapsed.  

At that point the Bush Administration began simultaneously to prevent efforts to launch a thorough and independent investigation into the causes of the tragedies and at the same time curtailed traditional American freedoms guaranteed under the Bill of Rights.

Using the Patriot Act as a linchpin, a dangerous piece of legislation passed in the aftermath of the tragic events and without members of Congress even reading it, American began to be transformed into what Bush, Cheney and other Administration figures labeled a period of war.  

One leading political light from 9/11 singled out by the mainstream media for supreme heroism was New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani.  The effort has succeeded to the point where Guiliani is currently being boomed in many of these same media circles as a potential Republican presidential nominee for 2008.

Giuliani has made the media mainstream adulation blitz easier through his penchant of parading as an all-purpose, All-American nice guy, wearing his New York Fire Department cap with grassroots relish except for those occasions when he visits Yankee Stadium.  

In those instances Giuliani switches to a Yankee cap and becomes one of the happy crowd as he enjoys the sport called America's favorite pastime and roots for the home team.

When it comes to 9/11, the very crisis that prompted the Giuliani national boomlet, however, many questions remain unanswered.  Some of the most disturbing questions arise from the discovery and subsequent comments of Scott Forbes, someone who should have become a household name had the mainstream media done its job properly and raised important questions that have been largely left begging.

Webster Tarpley has a long background of service in international journalism.  His lengthy record of service in the field has provided him with many contacts, which he uses judiciously, as well as an international perspective, enabling him to see well beyond the smoke and mirrors generated by governments functioning as self-serving mechanisms.

Tarpley, who received richly deserved praise for an earlier unauthorized biography of George Bush the Elder, which exposed the family's involvement in providing funding for Hitler's Third Reich, has delivered a prolifically researched and dramatic work detailing the real causes of 9/11.  

He makes the case for continuing investigation into the series of tragedies that transformed the entire world amid the plumes of smoke surfacing from New York's burning Twin Towers.

9/11 Synthetic Terror: Made in U.S.A., now in its third edition, is an indispensable work in that it tackles the number one issue that America and the world needs to currently confront.
