The official record tells us that Mohamed Atta, the infamous 9/11 hijacker and the master planner behind the 9/11 tragedy, entered the United States in June 2000. What if, however, we tell you that the truth is different?
Parallax 9/11 challenges that narrative with compelling, unsettling detail.
According to the book, Atta was in Florida at least six weeks earlier than the U.S. government claims. How, you may ask? Between mid-April and mid-May of 2000, he appeared at the Homestead office of the U.S. Department of Agriculture with an unusual request. Atta wanted a loan of $650,000 to purchase and modify a small aircraft.
Johnelle Bryant, a USDA loan officer with over 16 years of experience, remembers the encounter vividly. She recalls Atta’s intense stare, his odd demeanor, and his insistence that he needed to convert the aircraft into a crop duster. But the application was bizarre, as Atta wasn’t a farmer, had no funds, or a business plan. Again, he offered nothing but vague promises and increasingly aggressive behavior.
During the meeting, Atta referenced Osama Bin Laden. He also showed an eerie curiosity about the Twin Towers and the Pentagon, and even asked what was stopping him from killing Bryant and taking money from the safe behind her. The safe, ironically, was empty. She managed to calm the situation and reported the encounter months later, after recognizing Atta’s face on the news.
This meeting, documented and confirmed by multiple sources, shatters the established timeline and casts serious doubts on the completeness of the 9/11 Commission’s findings. If Atta was in the U.S. earlier than recorded and engaged in disturbing, suspicious activity, what else don’t we know?
More haunting is the suggestion that his original plan might not have involved hijacking a jetliner. For example, his conversation with Bryant implied an interest in aerial chemical dispersion. Was he exploring the possibility of using a modified plane to conduct a biological or chemical attack?
The grant application may have been a test of security, process, or the nerves of a potential victim. Either way, it proves that Atta was not only in America earlier than claimed but was actively pursuing a plan that had deadly intent long before the world had ever heard his name.
Our image of 9/11 is largely frozen in time. We have been told to reconcile jetliners, towers, and smoke, and to keep roaming around the tragedy to date. Still, we don’t know the complete side of this story.
In light of this, “Parallax 9/11” makes a strong case and to perhaps take a necessary to look back in time. The book urges us to look deeper and reconsider the events that preceded that infamous day and acknowledge the warning signs that were either ignored or never fully understood. What was Mohamed Atta really doing in America? As the book suggests, he was in the city country before June 2000. What was his plan? Was he preparing for something more devastating than the 9/11 attack? If so, should we remain cautious about the future to prevent such a harrowing event from happening?

About the Book:
Parallax 9/11: Part 1: The Silent Assassin by R. Taylor Hopkinson is a gripping docu-drama that intertwines the personal tragedy of Keith Chapman’s 2000 hit-and-run death with the seismic events of 9/11. Alleging that Mohamed Atta, the 9/11 ringleader, was the driver responsible for Chapman’s death months before his official U.S. arrival, the book blends legal memoir, historical analysis, and emotional storytelling. Through the lens of Hopkinson’s legal battle for Chapman’s family, readers encounter vivid characters like Angela Cassidy and Johnelle Bryant, whose chilling meeting with Atta hints at a broader conspiracy. With striking details and revelations, this thought-provoking narrative challenges the 9/11 Commission Report and promises a sequel, The Parallax Diaries, to continue the story and to allow us to gain an inside picture of this terrorist attack, which needs our attention.
