AT
THE CENTER OF the Sept. 11 legend is the man known as Mohamed Atta:
ringleader and pilot of the 767 that slammed into the North Tower. Atta's
sojourn in Florida in the months prior to the attacks has been woefully
neglected by the dominant media. Fortunately, investigative journalist
Daniel Hopsicker dug into Atta's time in Florida, and what he came up with
is sordid, provocative and should put to rest once and for all any notions
that Atta was any kind of Muslim, let alone a 'fanatic.' "

Read this antidote to The
9/11 Commission Report in the sprit in which it's intended: as a homicide
investigation that's compiled cartons of evidence - ranging from jaw-dropping
to uproarious. The reader then plays the role of the DA and is tasked with
making the case.

"A
RELIGIOUS MUSLIM, a party animal or both?
A new book by an U.S. journalist
on Mohammed Atta, allegedly the pilot of the first plane that flew into
the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001, reveals a man hooked on drugs
and alcohol while living in Florida
"Sex with Mohammed was horrible,"
Amanda Keller remembers. "He had no passion."
That's one of the more explosive
sentences in the book "Welcome to Terrorland" by U.S. journalist Daniel
Hopsicker on the life of Sept. 11 hijacker Mohammed Atta in Florida in
2000
Lutz Kroth, head of the publishing
house that brought out the book in Germany, Zweitausendeins, told DW-WORLD
that impression arises "only because our opinions have been greatly influenced
by mainstream media."
Kroth, who says the book
is among the "ten best selling books right now," added: "Hopsicker is the
only journalist who researched at the scene of events, went from door to
door, collected facts and basically did what we expect from the media --
continued digging when the police stopped."

| "AS
THE RESULT of a two-year investigation, an intrepid journalist has
disclosed evidence of a cover-up concerning the flight schools in Florida
that trained three of the four terrorists who piloted the hijacked planes.
Daniel Hopsicker saw Venice, Fla., as the biggest unexploded crime scene
in the September 11, 2001 attacks and arrived there two months later. He
deserves to be recognized for the fearlessness with which he pursued leads
down dark alleys peopled with intelligence and drug-running gangsters and
for his tenacity in tracking down witnesses, such as Mohamed Atta’s girlfriend.
Hopsicker’s discoveries, if accurate, should focus the 9/11 Commission’s
investigation on the CIA and its use of flight schools in Florida for training
Arabs as kamikazes."

"WAS
THERE A MASSIVE FBI-led cover-up in Florida to conceal the true story
of how terrorist Mohamed Atta and others learned to fly airliners? Was
the CIA not "asleep at the switch," but actually running the operation?
Hopsicker's new book is the
result of a two-year investigation including interviews with Mohamed Atta's
girlfriend, and following connections to Germany. "For at least four of
Atta's seven years living in Hamburg," writes Hopsicker, "he was part of
a 'joint venture' between the U.S. and German Governments, an elite international
'exchange' program run by a little-known private organization which has
close ties to powerful American political figures like David Rockefeller
and former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger." The book has also been
translated into German."

| "HOPSICKER'S
BOOK, Welcome to Terrorland, details his investigation of what he calls
the "Venice flying circus." Through interviews with Keller, Hopsicker has
drawn a private picture of Atta, a psychopath Keller says dismembered a
litter of kittens in her apartment when she dumped him.
Hopsicker is still researching
the three Huffman-trained 9/11 pilots, who he says had financial, drug-trafficking
and military intelligence ties to the U.S. government. He is developing
suspicions that Atta and the entire school were involved with Osama bin
Laden in heroin trafficking. Hopsicker reports that on July 25, 2000, the
DEA in Orlando discovered more than 30 pounds of heroin inside a Learjet
owned by Wally Hilliard, owner of Huffman Aviation. Earlier that month,
on July 3, Atta and Marwan Al-Shehri had started flight lessons at Huffman.
Hopsicker claims it's not a coincidence that Atta was allegedly importing
heroin with Hilliard's help, selling Afghanistan's notorious opium and
heroin to finance the Taliban. Hilliard would not be interviewed for this
story."

"TERRORISTS,
DRUG RUNNERS, COVER-UPS, CIA, KGB and shady characters are the cloak-and-dagger
kinds of elements that make for a riveting spy novel or action thriller.
It’s hardly the place you’d expect to find retired Green Bay businessman
Wally J. Hilliard.
Yet Hilliard finds himself
in the middle of a nonfiction tale published as “Welcome to Terrorland:
Mohamed Atta & the 9-11 Cover-Up in Florida,” by Daniel Hopsicker
(Mad Cow Press, $29.95). Hopsicker links Hilliard to Huffman Aviation,
the flight school that trained Atta and the other hijackers who flew planes
into the World Trade Center and Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001.
The author implicates Hilliard
in a complicated plot as the investor in the flight school in Venice, Fla.,
and owner of a Lear jet that was seized by Drug Enforcement Administration
officials after it returned with a passenger who was jailed for possession
of heroin.

9/11 Flight School, the CIA, and Drugs

The book, Welcome To Terrorland, is not being reported on by most mass media, even though it is a best-seller in Germany. Google searches by Conspiracy Nation have returned only two hits in the international media.
