Hi Everyone!

  I KNOW there are plenty of people celebrating Banned Books Week out there, so tell me... How are you spreading the word? All week, I'll be highlighting Banned Books at Chick with Books, and I'd love to know what you're doing on your blogs! Share a link! I'd love to visit and I'm sure I'm not the only one! 

Here's my link to the beginning of Banned Book Week:

I twitted about banned books week all week long (@manoflabook) and posted a review of the Sandman graphic novel which was on the banned list for a while.

I know Banned book week is over, but I had to squeeze this one in - my review of Fahrenheit 451 - a book about banning books!

I did managed to put up another post for Banned Book Week on October 2nd. It is about the censorhip and banned history of Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl at http://thechildrenswar.blogspot.com

Hope you come by and look at it.

[Robert Schopmeyer]

Yet another banned book, information the US government does not want you to have, EVER!

Prior Knowledge of 9/11, find at www.eventson911.com, and on Amazon as a Kindle book

serious 9/11 research -- not for the faint of heart


The author Robert Schopmeyer initially accepted the official 9/11 narrative. However, as he writes in his introduction, after attending open sessions of the 9/11 Commission Hearings in 2004 he became "increasingly perplexed regarding the intelligence agencies' excuses for not anticipating and preventing the events of 9/11." Thereafter, the author launched his own review of the pertinent documents. These include the 2002 Joint Inquiry Report prepared by the Joint House/Senate Intelligence Committee, the subsequent 9/11 Commission Report released in 2004, the Report by the FBI's Inspector General, various media sources, and the 2007 Report by the CIA's Inspector General. The result is an excellent analysis based on a compilation of all of these sources. The author is to be commended for digging deeper than most other researchers, including, for example, Lawrence Wright (The Looming Tower), whom he leaves in the dust. Schopmeyer shows how, time and again, the CIA withheld key evidence from the FBI, evidence which would have enabled the FBI to roll up the terrorists and prevent the 9/11 attacks. Where Wright insults our intelligence by leaving such loose threads hanging, Schopmeyer offers a rational explanation for the CIA disconnects. The author concludes that these were not just mis-steps, but a deliberate and criminal pattern of obstruction of those honest investigators who were trying to do their job and protect the nation. Schopmeyer's conclusion that the CIA (and FBI headquarters) were complicit in the 9/11 attacks is deeply disturbing. True enough. But he presents a tightly argued and persuasive case. Which he further bolsters with additional documentary evidence in the latest edition. The author encouraged me to start with chapter 19, then read Appendix B. This gives the big picture. PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF 9/11 adds yet another nail in the coffin of the official conspiracy theory. I give Schopmeyer's book my highest recommendation.
