America's Betrayal Confirmed. Elias Davidsson
group of Islamic fundamentalist youth. The alleged mastermind: Osama bin Laden, said to have masterminded the events in the United States from a cave in Afghanistan.
Davidsson addresses in detail the background that led to 9/11, namely the collapse of the Soviet Union. With its collapse, the former arch enemy of the United States vanished. The military-industrial-intellectual complex had to find a replacement-enemy in order to prevent the threat of a shrinking military budget. The enemy was found in the guise of what was designated as internationally organized Muslim terror. Up to 60 states which allegedly promoted terrorism thus came into the crosshairs of American foreign and military policy. The states are located at geostrategically significant locations, and most of them are home to economically interesting raw material deposits.
The attacks of 9/11 belong to the category of false flag operations by one or more secret services. The attacks were planned to have a catalytic effect on the public mind in such a way that they could be convincingly blamed on an enemy. In this way, the planners procured themselves a justification for what they presented as a just campaign of revenge and robbery against the diabolical enemy. This war ruse is actually thousands of years old.
On the basis of Davidsson's analysis, one can see how a false flag operation can be directed against one's own people. In the months leading up to 9/11, the many hints and warnings about the impending attack were ignored and rudely suppressed. The purported cluelessness before the crime was followed within minutes of the attack by the U.S. media trumpeting worldwide the culprits’ identities, including a detailed description of the modus operandi and even the background of the alleged mastermind bin Laden. Day after day, the U.S. government, operating in crisis mode, dominated public perception with its alleged findings. The feeding troughs of the mass media were filled hourly with the components of the script. Any journalist who expressed doubts about the official narrative was pushed aside and risked dismissal -- committing what Americans call “career suicide.”
What then followed was the obstruction of the criminal investigation by the removal and destruction of evidence; the disregard of witnesses who might have disturbed the official narrative; conditions imposed on the investigative committees in both houses of Congress; and generous compensation lavished on 9/11 victims in exchange for waiving their right to initiate court proceedings against the government or the airlines.
Those who doubt government narratives are up against a tactic invented years ago by the CIA, the allegation of “conspiracy theory.” This term has been used to slander all those who expressed doubts about the official account of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination, namely the theory of Oswald as a lone perpetrator. Meanwhile, seventy percent of U.S. citizens doubt that official account. By labelling doubters as conspiracy theorists, they are in fact classified as mentally deranged. As no one relishes being viewed as a loonie, people refrain from expressing doubts about government narratives. Those who have been labelled by the media as conspiracy theorists are excluded from mainstream dialogue. As a result, facts and arguments presented by the mainstream media regarding 9/11 and similar events are one-sided and cannot be taken at face value. The use of this label harms not only the targeted person but the democratic debate.
Davidsson will undoubtedly be called names by those who prefer slander to rational debate. This will not deter him or his readers from pursuing the truth. The factual strength of the book will constitute for a long time a formidable challenge to those who have profited and continue to profit from the official account of 9/11.

Introduction
The American people were hit hard on 9/11. The perpetrators did not only kill 3,000 people, mostly Americans, bringing tragedy to their families, but provided justifications for restrictions to liberties and endless wars that have affected millions of people worldwide. The American people have paid dearly in money and blood as a result of this horrendous crime. And so have others.
I feel it my duty, as a veteran defender of human rights, to share with my American friends my knowledge and findings about rights and responsibilities ensuing from the crime against humanity committed on 9/11.Victims and their families possess the right to know the unvarnished facts.The U.S. government and its allies bear the moral, political and legal responsibility in establishing the truth about this crime and ensure the identification and conviction of its perpetrators and accomplices.
The victims of 9/11 and the American people have been denied their rights. This book is intended to empower 9/11 victims, their families and ordinary Americans to demand their right to the truth and to justice. If it advances this cause, it has accomplished its purpose.

For almost two decades the United States and its allies have succeeded in suppressing popular efforts to expose the deceptive account of the events of 11 September 2001 (hereafter 9/11). Attempts to challenge the official account have met with stiff resistance from governments, academia and the media. Researchers who question the official account are vilified, mobbed and fired from their jobs. Yet despite massive and systematic efforts to denigrate such investigative efforts, public awareness is seeping through that the U.S. government and its allies are covering up the facts. The ranks of those who question the official narrative on 9/11 are growing by the year and may possibly cause a political crisis corresponding in vehemence to the doggedness with which the truth is being suppressed today.
The events of 9/11 were a crime against humanity as the term is defined under international criminal law.{1} The crime of 9/11 has been invoked by governments to justify a bombing campaign against one of the poorest nations on earth, Afghanistan, and the erosion of liberties in numerous countries under the pretext of combating terrorism. Yet none of the plotters and participants in the crime of 9/11 have been prosecuted by the United States government. The U.S. government claims that 19 Muslims, inspired or directed by Osama bin Laden, committed that crime and died in the attacks. But the government has produced no evidence that these men even boarded the planes that they allegedly hijacked. Nor did it produce evidence that they possessed the skills, means and motive to execute this crime. As of this writing, the U.S. authorities have failed to formally identify the real perpetrators of 9/11.
Apart from those whose livelihood depends on covering-up the truth (who will not concern us here), many honest people may wonder why 9/11 is relevant to the problems humanity faces today.
It may not be obvious to everyone that major assaults on democracy, the rule of law, human rights and international peace are directly related to the maintenance of the official 9/11 legend. A partial list of such assaults justified by the 9/11 narrative suffices to demonstrate the relevance of revisiting the 9/11 evidence:
• The war against Afghanistan was originally justified by 9/11, and Afghanistan is still occupied by U.S. troops 19 years later.
• Current efforts by the United Nations to extend the counterterrorism ideology to all UN bodies and agencies undermine international law and the reputation and integrity of the organization as a whole.
• The establishment of dystopian mass surveillance by governments is predicated on the supposed need for intelligence services to detect dormant terrorist cells, a claim that relies in turn on the official 9/11 narrative, which falsely claimed that a terrorist cell in Hamburg had prepared the attacks.
• Democratic rights, such as the Right to Information, are being curtailed by the U.S. authorities because of the alleged need of state institutions to keep secrets from potential terrorists.
• A huge industry of fear-mongering has emerged thanks to a counterterrorism ideology based on the 9/11 narrative. Millions of people now earn their living by stoking the fear of terrorism.
