Crossing the Rubicon - a book review

Crossing the Rubicon: The decline of the American Empire at the End of the Age of Oil is a must read that gets to the innermost core of the 9/11 attacks. Michael Ruppert spent two and a half years researching and writing this book. Key points are: Vice President Richard Cheney is the prime suspect in the mass murders of 9/11, on the day of the attacks he was running a completely separate Command, Control and Communications system which was superseding any orders being issued by the FAA, the Pentagon, or the White House Situation Room. May 2001, by presidential order, Richard Cheney was put in direct command and control of all war game, field exercise training and scheduling through several agencies, especially FEMA. It also shows that the Israeli and British governments acted as partners with the highest levels of the American government to help in the preparation and, very possibly, the actual execution of the attacks.” Catherine Austin Fitts, Assistant Secretary of HUD under Bush-1 wrote the forward that tells about $500 billions in fraud at US Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) used to buy elections, banks and control of multiple media outlets.
With 39 pages of endnotes it is a great factual detective story. Truth needs to be told about the end of oil that so many more will not have to die and that we may make wise decisions for our future.
