If I can get you to do ONE THING...



...I would ask that you not be lazy when you read this book. That means you will do the actual due diligence required of those genuinely interested in the truth. And with your new gusto for truth-seeking, you will dig into Griffin's "references" that purport to provide positive evidence for his claims, which means you will check his sources. And you will be shocked.



This I promise you.



As you dig up The Wall Street Journal article written by John Bussey (it's still on their site), contrasting the source text against the "quote" offered by Griffin on page 176, you will notice Griffin employs the worst kind of word cherry-picking in order to construe a new meaning. Then you will notice that Griffin conveniently omits the fact that he is cherry-picking from a Pulitzer Prize winning article, lest you clue yourself in on his fraud.



I promise you, when you realize he is spinning it as evidence of controlled explosive demolition (an "interpretation" you can't get when you actually read it), you will laugh out loud.



That means you will read Theresa Veliz's essay "A Prayer to Die Quickly and Painlessly," and again find yourself laughing as you contrast it against the cherry-picked version Griffin offers as "evidence" of a witness to controlled demolition, also on page 176 (does two on the same page give you an idea of the deceit density?).



That means you'll go to the BBC website and watch the video of the interview of World Trade Center Leslie Robertson (it is still there). As you compare Robertson's dialogue against Griffin's "interpretation" of it on page 147, and as you realize he is spinning Robertson's dialogue into a view exactly the opposite of it, you will either laugh some more or... you will begin contemplating how many people have been duped because they were lazier than you.



When you look up the melting point and plastic point of steel in an actual metallurgical reference, to see if you can corroborate Griffin's argument on its resistance to heat failure, you will notice that Griffin appears to have some other reference. You will laugh at this, too, because you won't believe he got published.



When you ask your physics professor to explain why Griffin claims on page 168 the progressive collapse of the Towers should have taken the same amount of time per floor, you will hear him laugh as he reminds you this requires a violation of the law of conservation of momentum. As you join his laughter, you will wonder if Griffin was just being a "free thinker."



Either way, this book is for you. If you are looking for a good laugh, I highly recommend it. If you are going to be lazy and skip actual work, then I say this: there are suckers all over the world just like you. And you can feel good about that.
