Presbyterian Church publishes 911 conspiracy theory

The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)’s publishing arm has released a book that says President Bush organized New York’s Sept. 11 attacks.

The decision by the 160-year-old Westminster John Knox Press, the trade and academic publishing imprint of the Presbyterian Publishing Corp., to attribute the attacks on the World Trade Center brings into the U.S. religious mainstream a conspiracy theory long held by the world’s jihadists.

In ‘Christian Faith and the Truth behind 9/11: A Call to Reflection and Action,’ author David Ray Griffin calls the United States the world’s ‘chief embodiment of demonic power, says he initially scoffed at 9/11 conspiracy theories.

But after investigating he concluded that the Twin Towers were brought down by controlled demolition, military personnel were given stand-down orders not to intercept hijacked flights and the 9/11 Commission, ostensibly created to uncover the truth behind the events of 9/11, ’simply ignored evidence’ that the administration was involved in the attacks.

Griffin further asserts that such events such as that of 9/11 are part of a long history of ‘false-flag attacks,’ attacks orchestrated by governments against their own people to garner popular support for military action.

Griffin is a professor at California’s Claremont School of Theology and Claremont Graduate University, and a codirector of the Center for Process Studies.
