This piece from Manuel Valenzuela, originally posted April 3, 2007, is just one of a large number of similarly excellent analyses at his site, www.valenzuelasveritas.blogspot.com/, such as “The Great American Catalyzing Event,” about the burgeoning 9/11 truth movement, and a new piece today, 5/1, “Enter the Empire.” Readers are encouraged to keep an eye on this wonderful blog. Mr. Valenzuela has been published at various alternative news sites and was interviewed in April by Michael Wolsey on Visibility 9-11 and by Kevin Barrett on 9/11 and Empire. An audio narration in mp3 format of this essay is also available here.
