Editorial Reviews: Product Description The attacks of September 11, 2001, were accomplished through an amazing orchestration of logistics and personnel. Crossing the Rubicon discovers and identifies key suspects-finding some of them in the highest echelons of American government-by showing how they acted in concert to guarantee that the attacks produced the desired result. Crossing the Rubicon is unique not only for its case-breaking examination of 9/11, but for the breadth and depth of its world picture-an interdisciplinary analysis of petroleum, geopolitics, narcotraffic, intelligence and militarism-without which 9/11 cannot be understood. The US manufacturing sector has been mostly replaced by speculation on financial data whose underlying economic reality is a dark secret. Hundreds of billions of dollars in laundered drug money flow through Wall Street each year from opium and coca fields maintained by CIA-sponsored warlords and US-backed covert paramilitary violence. America's global dominance depends on a continually turning mill of guns, drugs, oil and money. Oil and natural gas-the fuels that make economic growth possible-are subsidized by American military force and foreign lending. In reality, 9/11 and the resulting "war on terror" are parts of a massive authoritarian response to an emerging economic crisis of unprecedented scale. Peak Oil-the beginning of the end for our industrial civilization-is driving the lites of American power to implement unthinkably draconian measures of repression, warfare and population control. Crossing the Rubicon is more than a story. It is a map of the perilous terrain through which, together and alone, we are all now making our way. Michael C. Ruppert is the publisher and editor of From the Wilderness, a newsletter read by more than 16,000 subscribers in 40 countries. A former Los Angeles Police Department narcotics investigator, he is widely known for his groundbreaking stories on US involvement in the drug trade, Peak Oil and 9/11.

Customer Reviews: Read 177 more reviews... Trying to absorb it and some questions June 30, 2008 2 out of 3 found this review helpful This is an incredibly disturbing book, but does dovetail with issues that disturbed me before I read it. I agree with others there are a lot of dots and not all are well connected. Nevertheless, I don't want to rehash what others have said, but make a few points. The WTC was struck on 9-11. The Patriot Act, one individual listed as the lead author, is over 340 pages, was passed Oct 24. One and a half months later. How? How can something complex be done in that time, especially with the confusion and activity surrounding those events. I have wondered if the Patriot Act wasn't already on the shelf waiting to be pulled out. The author points to the Daschle anthrax as being of CIA origin. Interestingly, Richard Preston's "The Demon in the Freezer" hints that this bioweapon was very sophistocated, and may have fingerprints pointing to a USA origin. On page 23 Ruppert refers to the need to reduce the world's population by 4 billion (it may soon need to be 5 billion!) To do this, bioweapons are needed. To spare infrastructure and livestock, there aren't many candidates -- smallpox would seem to be the most likely choice. And it seems that smallpox is at large in unknown labs (again, see Preston's book). I am an Inf Dz specialist and had the opportunity to study under some of those who "eradicated" smallpox, and am somewhat familiar with that story. One concern for anyone who opens that Pandora's box is whether the vaccines will be effective to what may turn out to be a bioengineered strain. On page 158, reference is even made to a ethnospecific bioweapon. In the end, I have more questions unanswered than answered. But who could even invent this stuff? PERHAPS THE MOST DIFINITIVE BOOK ON UNDERSTANDING 9/11 June 13, 2008 3 out of 4 found this review helpful Michael Ruppert's "Crossing The Rubicon" is nothing less than a masterpiece. It was the first book I read that put 9/11 and the anthrax letters in context. It's a long book, over 600 pages, and I did not intend to read it all, but each chapter left me hungry for more information. This is an investigative book that encompasses much more than 9/11. It explains the financial and oil crises the US is in and the geopolitical strategy the neo-cons have developed to keep all the big lies alive. It explains the war games and Dick Cheney's complicity. If you are an American and you CAN read, then this book is a MUST read. Understand the era in which you live and you will understand the crises in which most of us will die. A must read for all Americans March 30, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful With the referenced facts laid out in this book, there is NO DOUBT why no one was put under oath at the 911 hearings!!! The Occams Razor for 9-11 and our times. March 24, 2008 4 out of 6 found this review helpful This book is the best explanation yet for why the executive level of government committed the 9-11 false flag operation. Being an engineer, the physics of 9-11 is what got me asking questions. But for most peope this will not be compelling for they lack physics training. So this book is a outstanding in the sense that it proves 9-11 was an inside job with everything other than physics. So this book can wake up more people to 9-11 truth than any other source in my opinion. And the book is written like a legal case. You could hand the book to a lawyer and put cheney in jail, if it wasnt for the corrupt legal imunity of government. Cant rate this one highly enough. 5 stars just doenst do it justice. It deserves ten. 911 detective story March 11, 2008 3 out of 4 found this review helpful Approaching the 911 occurrance as a murder investigator the evidence obtained and the background information can lead one to conclusions that have been ignored by the so-called watchdog press at our own peril. Very interesting and easy to follow and very disturbing in its conclusions and implications.
