The attacks of September 11, 2001, were accomplished through an amazing orchestration of logistics and personnel.

Crossing the Rubicon discovers and identifies key suspects--finding some of them in the highest echelons of American government--by showing how they acted in concert to guarantee that the attacks produced the desired result.

Crossing the Rubicon is unique not only for its case-breaking examination of 9/11, but for the breadth and depth of its world picture--an interdisciplinary analysis of petroleum, geopolitics, narcotraffic, intelligence and militarism--without which 9/11 cannot be understood.

The US manufacturing sector has been mostly replaced by speculation on financial data whose underlying economic reality is a dark secret.

Hundreds of billions of dollars in laundered drug money flow through Wall Street each year from opium and coca fields maintained by CIA-sponsored warlords and US-backed covert paramilitary violence.

America's global dominance depends on a continually turning mill of guns, drugs, oil and money.

Oil and natural gas--the fuels that make economic growth possible--are subsidized by American military force and foreign lending.

In reality, 9/11 and the resulting war on terror are parts of a massive authoritarian response to an emerging economic crisis of unprecedented scale.

Peak Oil--the beginning of the end for our industrial civilization--is driving the lites of American power to implement unthinkably draconian measures of repression, warfare and population control.

Crossing the Rubicon is more than a story.

It is a map of the perilous terrain through which, together and alone, we are all now making our way.
