The attacks of September 11, 2001, were accomplished through an astounding orchestration of logistics and personnel. Crossing the Rubicon discovers and identifies key suspects—finding numerous of them in the most eminent echelons of American government—by showing how they acted in concert to guarantee that the attacks produced the desired result.
Crossing the Rubicon is distinctive not only for it is case-breaking examination of 9/11, but for the breadth and depth of it is world picture—an interdisciplinary analysis of petroleum, geopolitics, narcotraffic, intelligence and militarism—without which 9/11 can not be understood.
The US constructing sector has been for the most part substituted by speculation on financial data whose underlying economic reality is a dark secret. Hundreds of billions of dollars in laundered drug cash flow through Wall Street each year from opium and coca fields maintained by CIA-sponsored warlords and US-backed covert paramilitary violence. America’s global dominance depends on a continually turning mill of guns, drugs, oil and money. Oil and natural gas—the fuels that make economic growth possible—are subsidized by American military strength and alien lending.
In reality, 9/11 and the resulting “war on terror” are elements of a massive authoritarian response to an emergent economic crisis of unexampled scale. Peak Oil—the beginning of the end for our industrial civilization—is driving the élites of American power to utilise unthinkably draconian measures of repression, warfare and population control. Crossing the Rubicon is more than a story. It is a map of the perilous terrain through which, together and alone, we are all now making our way.
