Book Reviews of Crossing the Rubicon: The Decline of the American Empire at the End of the Age of Oil
Book Review: Excellent analysis of the evidence available
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a well done researched book that taps into the Official 9/11 Commission Report myth. Who was behind 9/11, what prompted it, and what was the purpose and consequences for the US political process. The books delineates in detail the CIA's involvement with the drug trade and arming foreign guerillas to meet their own needs and their involvement with events leading up to 9/11 along with the FBI, Military Industrial Complex, and Wall St. This detective journalism at its best. If you ever wanted to know what and who was REALLY behind 9/11, I highly recommend this book. It is quite extensive with lots of hard factual information. If you are looking for stats like the guy below, this is not for you. Instead, the book acts like a "connect the dots puzzle" that flows consistently throughout the book. I think this will seriously change how you view the US political and governmental system.Book Review: There should be a million more books like this on the shelves.
Summary: 5 Stars
This book absolutely blew me away. I don't even know what else to say.
Ruppert argues his case in the book as if presenting to jury. The only defense to the book's logical conclusion is that Cheney and Co. weren't cross examined; but since the Administration refused at all cost the 9/11 Commission's establishment and their own sworn testimony before it, that's about all the proof we need of their treason.
READ THE BOOK. Read the 9/11 commission report, and then Whiteout (by Cockburn and St. Clair) and every other expose of CIA drug dealing and covert terrorism in alliance with Nazis and neo-Nazis...I mean, neo-conservatives. You'll be convinced, if you can handle it that is.
Book Review: Conspiracy after another ....Not a good read!!!

I was looking for more statistical information and got a political diatribe. The looming energy crisis is everyone's problem and we should all invest our time and energy in solutions not this riff raff.Book Review: Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury
Summary: 4 Stars
Mike Ruppert, Former LAPD Narcotics agent begins the book with background into the established complicity of the CIA. The US's CIA & mafia trading drugs for Weapons to Iran back in 1977, and revealing the US governments liquid assets from money laundering to the tune of 500bil to 1.5 trillion- a year.
He presents back ground info as if he were speaking to a Jury; Further defining Peak Oil as a commodity that will cease to exist in our Children and grand Children's lifetime. We are on the down side of peak oil.
Further, he points out motive and back ground from Zbigniew Brzezinski's "The Grand Chessboard......" Regarding the Civil war In Afghanistan with Russia as destabilization of the Soviet Union for the US to proceed with their illegal, self serving agenda, etc.
I've been familiar with Mike Ruppert's work through his website.
His work has been congruent with my own research, and other research the author makes reference to in the book: ie; The Center For Cooperative Research Timeline, which I've had the pleasure of working with Paul Thompson on. I have recommended this book to many on another site who are all working on putting the pieces of that day together.
I am grateful to see so many in the EU working diligently on this historical day of tragedy (That was swept under the proverbial carpet) and subsequent propaganda by the US Government, and Bush's premeditated, yet falsely preemptive attack on Iraq.
Book Review: The Most Informative Book on Government and Oil.
Summary: 5 Stars
If you think you know the oil business and how it effects our country and the globe - you're wrong. This book is packed with factual information and historical accounts; all which is documented and archived.
I am more educated on how our government and other governments are oil reactionary. From drugs, to covert operations (Bay of Pigs), military operations, to government greed and cover-ups, this tells it all; everything the media neglected to report or publish.
This book is about cold, factual information and NOT politcal agendas. Mr. Ruppert reports on both conservative and liberal government activity.
Thought provoking and educational. It is so overwhelming with data, I have re-read chapters. I now understand how our economy is actually driven and why our position is no different then other world economies. "He with the most muscle (or nuclear weapons) controls resources and wins".
Read it.
