In this new and expanded edition of Chossudovsky's 2002 international best seller, the author blows away the smoke-screen put up by the mainstream media, that 9/11 was an attack on America by "Islamic terrorists". This expanded edition, which includes twelve new chapters, focuses on the use of 9/11 as a pretext for the invasion and illegal occupation of Iraq, the militarization of justice and law enforcement and the repeal of democracy. According to Chossudovsky, the "War on Terrorism" is a complete fabrication based on the iIlusión that one man, Osama bin Laden, outwitted the $40 billion-a-year American intelligence apparatus. The "War on Terrorism" is a war of conquest. Globalization is the final march towards a New World Order dominated by Wall Street, the US military-industrial complex and the Texas oil giants. September 11, 2001 provides a justification for waging a war without borders. Washington's agenda consists in extending the frontiers of the American Empire to facilítate complete U.S. corporate control, while installing within America the institutions of the Homeland Security State. Chossudovsky peels back layers of rhetoric to reveal a complex web of deceit aimed at luring the American people and the rest of the world into accepting a military solution which threatens the future of humanity. |
