Cheney engineered 9/11 to establish worldwide empire by US

On the occasion of 19th anniversary of September 11 attacks, we reached out to American professor of philosophy of religion and theology David Ray Griffin.

Following is the full text of interview with him:

Your books about 9/11 have gained a great attraction worldwide. What was your motivation for writing these books?  

I finally saw good evidence that the official account of 9/11 was a lie, I realized that this fact was extremely importantFirst, I came to reject the official account of the 9/11 attacks, after at first not having seen good evidence that the attacks were an inside job. But after I finally saw good evidence that the official account of 9/11 was a lie, I realized that this fact was extremely important. At that time, there were already some good books about 9/11, but none of these were by Americans, and few Americans were reading them. So I decided to write a book about it, which became The New Pearl Harbor (2004). The later books were written to answer questions and claims raised by defenders of the official account. 

Could you please tell us about the reactions to your works (among mainstream media, academics, officials and so on)?

The mainstream media and most of the academy have either ignored my work or attacked it as a conspiracy theory unsupported by evidence (even though in one week in 2008 the highly respected Publishers Weekly named my 2008 book, The New Pearl Harbor Revisited, the "Pick of the Week"). There was also not much support by academics until after Peter Dale Scott and I edited a volume in 2006 entitled 9/11 and the American Empire: Intellectuals Speak Out. Academic support was further increased after architect Richard Gage, having studied my work, started Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, which now has over 3,000 architects and engineers who call the official account of the destruction of the World Trade Center false.  

Do you think 9/11 was a terrorist attack? Please kindly give us your reasons?

Attacks were engineered by non-Muslim terrorists, especially Vice-President Richard Cheney, his buddy Donald RumsfeldQuite often this question means, "Were the 9/11 attacks engineered by Muslim hijackers?" The answer to this question is No. But the attacks were engineered by non-Muslim terrorists, especially Vice-President Richard Cheney and his buddy Donald Rumsfeld, who had become the secretary of defense.
