As publisher of the critical Bush biography Fortunate Son in 2001, Sander Hicks had a unique position from which to cast a hard look at the official story around the 9/11 attacks. The Big Wedding examines the CIA’s controlling, client relationship with Pakistani intelligence, which had close, documented, under-reported links to the 9/11 terrorists. Hicks acquired startling revelations from government whistleblowers, including lauded FBI Whistleblower Coleen Rowley, ATF Agent Steve Barborini, CIA asset Brad Ayers, and US Navy veteran/con-man Delmart Vreeland. His live "performance politics" on 10/31 will have a special emphasis on the darkest secrets of the GOP, commenting on the little-known 1989 Bush White House call boys scandal and the possible Bush ties to Satanism and ritual murder.
"Based on four years' worth of Hicks' reporting and research, the book digs deep—and then goes deeper, revealing new evidence that the Bush White House had prior knowledge of the World Trade Center attacks and did nothing to stop it."
—Long Island Press
"Imagine Henry Rollins meets the young Bob Woodward—a clean-cut, hard-as-nails punk with the reporting chops to take on an empire."
—From the Foreword by Anthony Lappé, (True Lies)
Sander Hicks is the investigative journalist and independent publisher who started Soft Skull Press and Vox Pop/DKMC. He has appeared on "60 Minutes", on HBO/Cinemax in the documentary, "Horns and Halos," and has been featured in magazines Punk Planet and Silicon Alley Reporter. Hicks has done innovative reporting on 9/11 for the New York Press, Long Island Press, INN World Report Television, and the Guerrilla News Network (gnn.tv). Hicks claims to be the only reporter verbally abused by a member of the 9/11 Commission. Sander and Holley Anderson, his wife, run the Vox Pop coffeehouse, bookstore and media company in Brooklyn, NY.
Holley Anderson is a radical, smart, folky singer-songwriter and a partner at Vox Pop, the Brooklyn coffeehouse/ publishing company. Her music is both spiritual and political, the perspective of a young mother outraged at the current state of the world but empowered by a vision for social change. Her songs are a combination of Ani DiFranco's passion, Bob Dylan's story-telling, and Joni Mitchell's lilting style. She’s currently in the studio laying down the tracks for her first CD, slated to come out this fall.
