In the ten years since 9/11, a grassroots truth movement has sprung up that unites the best elements of the right and left. The call to resist the secrecy, imperialism, and the manipulation of the elite has been heard by a wide spectrum of people, across religious and political lines. This is a revolutionary moment that has lacked a clarifying manifesto. Until now. Pulling from his personal confrontations with the FBI, Rudolph Giuliani, Eliot Spitzer, and Dick Cheney, activist, maverick, and investigative reporter Sander Hicks reaches for a broader understanding of who was behind the 9/11 attacks. He reports the mysterious murder of Dr. David M. Graham, a Shreveport dentist who met two of the 9/11 hijackers but was then harassed by the FBI and poisoned. Scientific evidence leads him to take a hard, critical stance against Bush, Cheney, and the 9/11 "Official Story." Weaving evidence with anecdote, Slingshot to the Juggernaut is an inspiring ride into the 9/11 cover-up and the revolutionary possibilities it inadvertently created. Provocative and unyielding, Hicks examines the evidence, draws conclusions, and offers a vision for the future of the United States.
Praise for Slingshot to the Juggernaut "Following after his heroes Gandhi and Jesus, Hicks uses Slingshot to accomplish an 'experiment in truth' that enlivens our hearts and opens our eyes to the central issues of our time. His experiment ranges from autobiographical scenes of direct action to impressive journalistic research and political analysis--and concludes with the offering of an original political program that arises out of heartfelt theological reflections. This rich piece of passionate writing is a huge gift those of us who have wondered about the deeper meanings of 9/11 truth." --Byron Belitsos, cofounder of Citizens 9/11 Commission Campaign and coauthor of A Return to Healing
