Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed Livres

Nafeez Ahmed delivers a thorough and provocative analysis of the events surrounding 9/11, challenging the official government narrative. As a sequel to The War on Freedom, this work dives deep into the complexities and implications of the attacks, offering a critical perspective that invites readers to reconsider accepted beliefs about the incident and its aftermath.

Includes an analysis of the 9/11 Commission Report and wider discussion of US policies toward al-Qaeda.

Using official sources, Ahmed investigates U.S. and British claims about Iraq's WMD programs and in the process reveals the hidden motives behind the 2003 invasion and the grand strategy of which it is a part. He shows that the true goals of U.S.-British policy in the Middle East are camouflaged by spin, P.R. declarations and seemingly noble words. The reality can only be comprehended through knowledge of the history of Western intervention in the region. Ahmed demonstrates that such intervention has been dictated ruthlessly by economic and political interests, with little regard for human rights. He traces events of the past decades, beginning with the West's support for the highly repressive Shah of Iran, his subsequent usurpation by the Ayatollah's Islamist regime and the West's resultant backing of Saddam Hussein.

The book presents a transdisciplinary approach to understanding the interconnected crises of climate, energy, food, and economics, rooted in the author's previous work. It examines the global wave of social unrest since 2008, linking it to the decline of cheap fossil fuels and its implications for civilization. Through detailed case studies, it illustrates how geopolitical crises stem from these biophysical disruptions. The author advocates for a paradigm shift in our understanding of civilization's organization and emphasizes the need to challenge conventional media narratives dominated by fossil fuel interests, all while maintaining accessibility for a general audience.

It often seems that different crises are competing to devastate civilization. This book argues that financial meltdown, dwindling oil reserves, terrorism and food shortages need to be considered as part of the same ailing system. Most accounts of our contemporary global crises such as climate change, or the threat of terrorism, focus on one area, or another, to the exclusion of others. Nafeez Ahmed argues that the unwillingness of experts to look outside their specialisations explains why there is so much disagreement and misunderstanding about particular crises. This book attempts to investigate all of these crises, not as isolated events, but as trends and processes that belong to a single global system. We are therefore not dealing with a "clash of civilizations," as Huntington argued. Rather, we are dealing with a fundamental crisis of civilization itself. This book provides a stark warning of the consequences of failing to take a broad view of the problems facing the world.

Ereignisse wie der "11.9." reizen zur Spekulation. Die hier ausgebreiteten Untersuchungsergebnisse des britischen Politologen wollen das aber gerade nicht sein, sondern vielmehr den 11.9. rekonstruieren als ein zumindest "billigend in Kauf genommenes Ereignis, das sich konsequent und bestens zur Sicherung geostrategischer Interessen und innenpolitischer Reglementierung instrumentalisieren ließ. Der Autor sieht auch im Falle der Milzbrandattacken und unter Rückgriff auf den Tonking-Zwischenfall eine gewisse Kreativität bei der Schaffung von Kriegsgründen. Kern und Herzstück der Argumentation sind die mittlerweile berüchtigten Dokumente des "Project for the New American Century", die den Fokus auf eine globale, US-amerikanische Dominanz und Hegemonie legen und geostrategisch den zentralasiatischen Raum (Afghanistan!) und das ölreiche kaspische Becken im Blick haben

Questo lavoro approfondisce le tesi principali di "Guerra alla libertà" e vi aggiunge elementi di straordinaria gravità. L'autore punta l'attenzione sui lavori della commissione d'inchiesta sull'11 settembre del Congresso Usa, mostrando che si tratta di un colossale falso e rivelando aspetti inquietanti come il fatto che anche il presidente della commissione, come Cheney e Bush, è in affari con la famiglia di Bin Laden. Mostra come esistano indizi chiari del fatto che i servizi segreti statunitensi, francesi e britannici si siano infiltrati in Al-Qaeda molto prima dell'11 settembre e che conoscessero i suoi piani con un dettaglio superiore di quanto abbiano ammesso. Indaga sull'identità dei dirottatori e sui collegamenti con gli attentati di Madrid.
