Reviews & Comments on Daniel Hopsicker's Inestigations…

-
“Hopsicker is the kind of bulldog journalist who, having found a bone,
will just keep digging. And digging. And it's remarkable what he's
turned up.”
-
“Hopsicker has established a tremendous track record for ground level
factual investigations of things the mainstream media won't touch with a
ten foot pole. Will it be enough to get him on CNN? Or even the Colbert
Report? I'm not that optimistic, though if the
so-called alternative political culture has any hope of defining itself
as something more than
a comedy show, it could use a good dose of Daniel Hopsicker.”
-
“Thanks to Joseph Cannon for continuing to beat the drum on behalf of
Daniel Hopsicker, 9/11's most substantial and excoriated researcher. He
links to Hopsicker's video presentation on Mohamed Atta's "strange and
spooky associate" Wolfgang Bohringer, which corroborates evidence
provided by Atta's girlfriend Amanda Keller before Keller herself was
spooked into retracting her story.
-
“It
continues to fascinate me how so many applaud books that obfuscate the
real story. The most important research concerning Atta and conspiracy
of 9/11 is one that everyone runs from. that is
Danny Hopsicker's investigation into Atta, the flight school, in Venice.
Florida.”
-
“Hopsicker's investigation makes everyone else appear to be a bullshit
artist.”
-
“The
most important research concerning Atta and conspiracy of 11/09/01 is
one that everyone runs from... Danny Hopsicker's investigation into Atta
& the flight school in Venice, Florida.” 
-
“Hopsicker's investigation--his published research, WELCOME TO
TERRORLAND. his website, http://www.madcowprod.com, makes everyone else
appear to be a bullshit artist.”

-
“Daniel Hopsicker is one of those reporters of the good old kind that
John Pilger -- one of the best-regarded journalists in the world -- says
he is missing more and more: "Their journalistic experience has taught
them to take their time and listen to people; they willingly accept
danger and inconvenience to follow leads and collect facts. They look
skeptically at the powerful. They are hat all reporters really should
be, namely real investigative journalists."
-
"Daniel Hopsicker is an award-winning investigative journalist and the
author of two of the best books ever written on America's Secret History.
Hopsicker has broken more real news on the 9/11 terrorist conspiracy and
their connections in America than anyone in the world"
"Many
leads follow, interconnect and dovetail from Hopsicker's investigation,
for example, from Turkish FBI translator Sibel Edmonds testimony,
(Edmonds being an extraordinarily credible witness with impeccable
credentials), which was never incorporated into the 9/11 hearings, to
Anthony Elgindy's subsequent prosecution and role regarding insider
trading info and stock manipulation (and FBI connections), the DTCC,
about which I've commented, past history and interconnections regarding
the UAE, Khashoggi, BCCI (Bank of Commerce and Criminals International),
Islamic fundamentalist funding in Afghanistan and elsewhere, including,
of course, to the current issue of the Dubai Port deal.”

“…On
NUMEROUS websites, BOTH domestic and foreign, I've read/seen theories
regarding 9/11 and planes hitting or not hitting the Pentagon, WTC,
explosives detonating, etc., all
premised on hypothetical constructs which may be true or not true, in
part or in whole, but, at the moment, can be neither proved nor
disproved, and, for that reason are weak, suspect and dubious.
-
"Yet,
these same websites do NOT, ALSO, EQUALLY, refer to the hardnosed,
factual evidence and connections acquired by some very diligent research
by Hopsicker on his website. It's simply a curious question to me as to
why the other theories appear almost universal, yet, Hopsicker's
diligent investigation never appears on those very same websites
questioning the official version of 9/11.”

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.' "

Daniel Hopsicker is one of
those reporters of the good old kind that John Pilger -- one of the
best-regarded journalists in the world -- says he is missing more and more:
'Their journalistic experience has taught them to take their time and listen to
people; they willingly accept danger and inconvenience to follow leads and
collect facts. They look sceptically at the powerful. They are what all
reporters really should be, namely real investigative journalists.
The mass murder of 11th September is totally unsolved until this day. Who
exactly were the alleged 19 hijackers? The FBI doesn't know. Had they helpers?
The U.S. government has stopped the police investigation after a few months,
destroyed evidence, carted off documents and locked them away. When state
attorneys and police are not allowed to investigate, then reporters have to do
it. Hopsicker is a U.S. citizen, formerly a television journalist and today a
free-lance reporter.
One who is persevering in his research, rings doorbells unannounced, takes a
good look around on the scene, talks to neighbours and caretakers. For two
years, Hopsicker investigated the trail of Mohammed Atta in Venice, Florida.
Until shortly before the attack, Atta lived in this pensioner's paradise, of all
places, and longer than officially admitted. Here, there is a small, discreet
airport. Here, strange things happen. The police have to look away time and
again on instructions from above. Hopsicker meets worried witnesses, discovers
Atta's American ex-girl friend who lives in hiding. She is a sometime stripper
with a pink hair-rinse; she tells of sex, drugs and jealousy.
Hopsicker runs into Atta's helpers in the U.S. -- but those "brothers", as Atta
calls them, are no bearded turban-wearers, but smart business types, among them
Germans, too. Atta the 'terror pilot' did not come out of an Afghan cave. He
was promoted/protected* by the West: "Welcome to Terrorland".

“Quietly, and under the endless night of a major media
blackout, the Iran-Contra researchers have continued, until we find
ourselves right back at Iran. One was Gary Webb, disowned by the San
Jose Mercury News after publishing a series of articles detailing the
link between the CIA, the Contras, and the explosion of crack cocaine in
Los Angeles and elsewhere. Another is Daniel Hopsicker, whose stellar
work on happenings in Venice, Florida before and after September 11,
2001, continues to be ignored.”

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.
