“9/11 & State Terror” author Len Bracken

Tuesday, December 4th, 11 a.m. to noon Central (9-10 Pacific) on NoLiesRadio.org (then archived here a few hours after broadcast).

 Guest: Len Bracken – the author of one of the first widely distributed books published in the United States suggesting the 9/11 attacks were an inside job. Shadow Government: 9-11 and State Terror—reviewed in the Village Voice, September 2002—presents the “state-terror thesis” and describes the event as an “indirect defensive attack,” developing the offensive-defensive theory of terrorism created by Guy Debord and Gianfranco Sanguinetti. 

Len is a contributor to the new academic-truther book The Dual State: Parapolitics, Carl Schmitt and the National Security Complex edited by last Tuesday’s guest Eric Wilson. Len’s essay, entitled “Schmitt, Ergenekon and the Neocons,” points out that that the neocon 9/11 suspects may have succeeded in the USA, but they failed two years later in Turkey. The neocons (Wolfowitz, Perle, etc.) incited and and orchestrated a “Turkish 9/11” in which fascist/Gladio elements in the Turkish deep state would stage 9/11-style terrorist attacks on Turkish monuments, along with a fake plane shootdown, and seize total power under a Turkish version of the Patriot Act. They were foiled by the Turkish National Police – check out my conversations with the Turkish equivalent of FBI Director and a leading Turkish parliamentarian conducted in Turkey’s magnificent national capitol building in Ankara!

Len Bracken writes:

(Operation) Sledgehammer coincided with the beginning of the Iraq War that had been long sought by members of the U.S. neoconservative network who were uniformly pro-Israeli and disfavored the Islamic orientation of (Turkey’s Islamist President) Erdogan and the AKP.  Turkish public opinion was against the U.S. war with Iraq, and this opposition was reflected in a parliamentary vote disallowing the United States to use Turkey to open another front in the war.
