Book excerpt: The Hidden Face of Terrorism raises serious questions about the contentions of self-anointed terrorist experts that populate orthodox academia. From ancient Rome to the WTC, Paul Collins presents largely ignored or understated facts to show that the majority of terrorist acts throughout history have been state- sponsored enterprises. In turn, the national governments that sponsor terrorism are merely implementation instruments of a criminal elite suffering from Olympian delirium. The final objective of this ruling class conspiracy is the completion of an enormous social engineering project, the outcome of which could hold serious ramifications for human civilization as we know it.
