We cannot drill our way out of this oil crisis. Since 2000, oil companies working in the U.S. have doubled the number of wells drilled per year.

Although increased drilling has added new oil to the nation's supply, it has not done so fast enough to offset the terminal decline of existing fields.

We are going to have to import more of our oil. Period.

A book which will definitely appeal to the conspiracy theorist inside you.

Ruppert alleges that the war on terror is actually a cover for a series of resource wars that will happen due to the inevitable decline in oil supplies. His main focus is on how 9/11 was allowed to happen and he comes to the conclusion that Dick Cheney was in charge of a wargames operation that was happening on the very same day as the attacks on the twin towers. This is part of the reason why it took so long for the USAF to respond to the hijackings.

When I first read the blurb on the back of this book I have to admit that I thought that it was just another book amongst a series of others about 9/11.

When I finished a lot of things did seem to make a bit more sense. Ruppert describes how he investigates the theory of Mike Vreeland a spy for the Naval Intelligence Service who, in August 2001, describes a massive attack that will happen on the 11th September. From there he goes on to follow other leads which back up his theory that 9/11 was a set up.

When you finally get to the end of the 600 pages and browse some of the 900 sources of information you are left to wonder whether what you have actually read is true or not.

Personally I think that the more evidence you can add to a theory then the more believable it is until you can't deny the truth any more. This book will start many discussions and arguments and will be equally lauded as it will be criticized.
