Bollyn is a good researcher, and I think good as far as he goes. I personally find him with blinders or rose-colored glasses on - in that he sees Zionists as the primary and possibly only actors in the planning, execution and cover-up of the events of 911 and those connected before and after. While they were involved and informed, I do not believe they were the prime movers - but were partners [junior partners] with PNAC and other neo-con/neo-fascist Americans. Yes, many of them were/are American Zionists, but not all. Many in the CIA, NSA, NORAD, US-Military, and others who played important roles are not Jewish, Zionist or especially inclined that way. So, I find his analysis good, but incomplete and biased. The book 'Another 19' IMHO is closer to the mark [but many named there would overlap with those named by Bollyn - but many are not named by him]. While Bollyn himself is not anti-Semitic, if you look at the comments on his videos, many who post and comment on them are - and this is upsetting to me and should be to others. Conflating Judaism with Zionism is a clear sign of irrational prejudice. What he says of the history of Zionism is correct and a sad hidden history of Israel. That said more than half of the population of Israel are against such extreme ideas and certainly most Jews outside of Israel are as well. Israeli Zionists are connected at the hip with neo-con and neo-fascist elements in the US, UK and other countries. Their religious beliefs have little to nothing to do with it and are used as a cover-story to mobilize and propagandize the masses in their respective countries. A Machiavellian interpretation, rather than a religious one would fit much better.

Agree with all that.

Bollyn is an excellent researcher, and his book is very convincing, but I believe it encompasses around 30% of the story (or perhaps slightly less). Jane Hunter, the lady that contributed chapters on Israel to THE IRAN CONTRA CONNECTION, has additional articles online in PDF form that somewhat bridge the gap between Bollyn's book and Ryan's. At this point I'd say the Israeli side of things has been successfully documented by Bollyn, and we now need further (re)investigation of the US and potentially Saudi angle, in a way that complements what Bollyn has dug up.

To reiterate though, I don't mean any of the above as a slam on Bollyn. I feel he is a credible and well intentioned researcher. He has a new book out since the video at the top of this thread was filmed, and it's a follow up to SOLVING 9/11, discussing the whole War on Terror.

One of those Jane Hunter articles, well worth reading.
