Haiti and the seismic weapon

 By Thierry Meyssan | Beirut (Lebanon) | 26 January 2010 | Voltaire, édition internationale | The controversy that followed the publication on our website of an article entertaining the possibility that the earthquake in Haiti was caused artificially, calls for clarification. Yes, seismic weapons do exist and the United States, among others, has them. Yes, the U.S. military forces were pre-positionned to be deployed to the island. These facts are not conclusive in themselves but they certainly warrant heightened scrutiny into this matter.

Copenhagen Climate Change Conference
There is no scientific consensus at the UN

 By Thierry Meyssan | Beirut (Lebanon) | 20 December 2009 | Voltaire, édition internationale | While the overwhelming media campaign is heralding the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference as our last chance to "save the planet", Thierry Meyssan considers that, despite appearances, the issues on the table have little to do with environmental concerns but revolve around financial interests instead. According to him, what is in the works is not the creation of a new model of environment-friendly production but the revival of anglo-saxon capitalism. In this first article, he sheds light on a basic misapprehension: there is no scientific consensus emanating from the United Nations. It simply cannot happen in a forum of that nature.

Did GWB Ever Tell the Truth About 9/11?

 By Thierry Meyssan | Beirut (Lebanon) | 3 November 2009 | Voltaire, édition internationale | Thierry Meyssan started the international campaign that questioned the Bush version of the 9/11 attacks eight years ago. Today he recaps the issues for Odnako, a new Russian periodical, but not before criticizing the media’s tight “iron curtain” around NATO member populations that isolates them from the rest of world opinion. Under heavy media pressure, these populations are still convinced that only fringe activists are contesting the official version of 9/11. Meyssan also points to the gullibility of Westerners who believe the comic strip storyboard about how some 20 extremists could strike at the heart of the world’s largest military empire.

Corruption
Behind the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize

 By Thierry Meyssan | Beirut (Lebanon) | 19 October 2009 | Voltaire, édition internationale | While the Nobel Peace Prize award has led to a chorus of praise from the Atlantic alliance leaders, it has also raised skepticism around the world. Rather than discuss the reasons that might after the fact justify this surprising choice, Thierry Meyssan exposes the corruption of the Nobel Committee and the ties between its chairman, Thorbjørn Jagland, and Obama’s associates.

The Obama Administration’s “Axis of Evil”
Iran/Nicaragua : Hillary Clinton’s new lie

By Thierry Meyssan | Beirut (Lebanon) | 28 July 2009 | Voltaire, édition internationale | US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton voiced concerns about the construction of an Iranian mega-embassy in Nicaragua. "Experts" spoke on U.S. television about secret military operations being orchestrated by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards in Latin America against U.S. and Israeli interests. What exactly is the factual basis for this media racket?

The internet buzz!
9/11: The most popular French comedian ridicules the U.S. government

 By Thierry Meyssan | 22 July 2009 | Voltaire, édition internationale | Whereas the corporate media in NATO countries have sanctified the Kean-Hamilton report of the government-appointed commission on the attacks of September 11, 2001, French comedian Jean-Marie Bigard’s mockery of this preposterous tale is a resounding success. Indeed, it is no longer possible to sustain the government’s account of those events without provoking hilarity.

The grassroots takeover technique
« Color revolution » fails in Iran

By Thierry Meyssan | Beirut (Lebanon) | 27 June 2009 | Voltaire, édition internationale | Tehran’s « green revolution » is the latest version of the « color revolutions » which have allowed the United States to impose subservient governments in several countries without needing to use force. Thierry Meyssan, who advised two governments facing this type of crisis, analyses this method and the reasons for its failure in Iran.

Why should I look down on the Iranian people’s choice?

By Thierry Meyssan | Beirut (Lebanon) | 23 June 2009 | Voltaire, édition internationale | Many readers have reacted angrily to Thierry Meyssan’s latest article. It is his duty to reply to them. Incorrigible and far from apologizing, he sticks to his guns.

From Mossadegh to Ahmadinejad
The CIA and the Iranian experiment

By Thierry Meyssan | Beirut (Lebanon) | 19 June 2009 | Voltaire, édition internationale | The news of alleged election fraud has spread through Tehran like wildfire, pitching ayatollah Rafsanjani’s supporters against ayatollah Khamenei’s in street confrontations. This chaotic situation is secretly stirred by the CIA which has been spreading confusion by flooding Iranians with contradicting SMS messages. Thierry Meyssan recounts this psychological warfare experiment.

Operation Sarkozy : how the CIA placed one of its agents at the presidency of the French Republic

 By Thierry Meyssan | Almaty (Kazakhstan)  | 26 July 2008 | Voltaire, édition internationale | One should judge Nicolas Sarkozy according to his actions, and not according to his personality. Yet when his doings surprise even his own constituents, it is legitimate to take a detailed look at his biography and question the bonds that brought him to power. Thierry Meyssan has decided to write the truth about the French Republic’s president background. All the information included in this article is provable, except for two assertions signalled by the author who alone takes full responsibility.

George Bush will play all he’s got
The resignation of Admiral Fallon will provoke renewed fighting in Iraq

 By Thierry Meyssan | Beirut (Lebanon) | 15 March 2008 | Voltaire, édition internationale | Contrary to what has been written so far in the mainstream media, Admiral William Fallon was not removed because he was opposing President Bush on an attack against Iran. He resigned from his own initiative after the agreement he had negotiated and concluded with Tehran, Moscow and Peking was sabotaged by the White House. This decision by the Bush administration will provoke renewed fighting in Iraq and exposes gravely the GI’s to a new Resistance this time supported without restraints from the outside.

Lebanon : The Saudi Statement is a Dangerous Sign
By Thierry Meyssan | Beirut (Lebanon) | 19 February 2008 | New Orient News | Lebanese political circles wait for the arrival of the assistant Arab league secretary general Hisahm Yusef tomorrow to Beirut to study the stands of the Lebanese sides towards the Arab peace initiative after Washington’s frank rejection of it. This was followed by internal stands including the declaration of Saad al-Hariri’s office that he does not agree on the formula of the tens. This clearly refers to the side that obstructs the Arab initiative. The press also talked about Saudi Arabia’s warning to its citizens not to travel to Lebanon due to the deteriorating security condition in addition to other issues.

The first half of 2007
Angela Merkel, a Neocon as President of the European Union

 By Thierry Meyssan | Paris (France) | 16 February 2007 | Voltaire, édition internationale | As Angela Merkel now assumes the presidency of the European Union for the first half of 2007, Thierry Meyssan looks back on the amazing career of this communist propagandist in the former German Democratic Republic who made it to Chancellor of the reunified Germany. He emphasises her links with the neo-conservatives and her idea of US leadership in Europe.

Lebanon as a new target
The Neo Conservatives and the Policies of Constructive Chaos

 By Thierry Meyssan | Paris (France) | 27 July 2006 | Voltaire, édition internationale | Some in Washington and Tel Aviv, are rejoicing about the military operations taking place in the Middle East. Following the expression of Condoleezza Rice, the pains of Lebanon would be “the birth pangs of a new Middle East”. For the theoreticians of a « constructive chaos », blood must be shed in order to bring about a new order in that region rich in hydrocarbons. Planned since a long time, the Tsahal offensive against Lebanon is supervised out of the United States Defense Department.

Propaganda
Is it necessary to burn Hugo Chávez?

 By Thierry Meyssan, Cyril Capdevielle | 18 January 2006 | Voltaire, édition internationale | An organization for the defence of human rights, the Simon Wiesenthal Centre, and French journals Libération and Le Monde continue to spread defamatory accusations against Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez, calling him an anti-Semite. Clearly acting in bad faith, they manipulated a mutilated statement in an effort to discredit a political figure that has emerged as an anti-imperialist reference for Latin American progressive movements as well as within the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).

The EU gave written OK to CIA secret prisons as early as January 2003

 By Thierry Meyssan | Paris (France) | 13 January 2006 | Voltaire, édition internationale |


Scandal
Thomas Schelling and Robert Aumann, the Nobel Prize winners who see war as a game

 By Thierry Meyssan | Paris (France) | 26 October 2005 | Voltaire, édition internationale | The two winners of the 2005 Nobel Economics Prize, Thomas C. Schelling and Robert J. Aumann, received the award for their contribution to the “Game Theory”. In fact, Thomas C. Schelling was the theoretician of the military escalation during the Viêt-Nam war and he currently justifies the US decision not to sign the Kyoto Protocol and to ignore the UN Millennium Objectives. Robert J. Aumann is an esoteric Talmudist who has theorized about the use of collective punishment to oppress Palestinians.

American Committee for a Strong Europe
The neocons new strategy for Europe

 By Thierry Meyssan | Paris (France) | 3 October 2005 | Voltaire, édition internationale | The European scene has been modified by the rejection of the European Constitutional Treaty in France and the Netherlands and the result of the recent legislative elections in Germany. Thierry Meyssan reveals the analyses of US neoconservatives and their new strategy for Europe.

Strategy
Washington and Tehran face to face

 By Thierry Meyssan | Paris (France) | 12 September 2005 | Voltaire, édition internationale | For the past five years, the neoconservatives have been preparing the invasion of Iran. The arguments they have used to justify their own ambition were refuted one after the other. But they’re still reluctant to give up their threats. Meanwhile, thanks to the support offered by the constituents, the Iranian political forces have been able to avoid a direct confrontation and have ensured that any military operation would turn out to be too costly for Washington, explains Thierry Meyssan.

Hired guns
Beslan: the mystery clarified one year later

 By Thierry Meyssan | Paris (France) | 7 September 2005 | Voltaire, édition internationale | It is not wise to consider the current international situation without taking the strategic reality into account. During the September 3, 2004 hostage taking in Beslan, Russia, resulting in 186 children killed, the prevailing media relays stepped back from the horror saying they supported Aslan Maskhadov’s “moderate Chechens”, who were then backed by London and Washington. One year later, however, Shamil Basayev – organizer of this bloody operation – has just been proclaimed deputy prime minister of the government in exile. Once more, time has shown that immediate emotions serve more complicated interests: The Caspian Sea resources.

Stay-behind
London goes back to the strategy of tension

 By Thierry Meyssan | 19 July 2005 | Voltaire, édition internationale | The leaders of the Coalition took advantage of the terrorist attacks in London to denounce, once more, the existence of an Islamic conspiracy and make a call to fight terrorism. However, facts speak for themselves: the operation was organized in the guise of an anti-terrorist exercise in which British public order forces were supposed to participate. Like in the 1980s, when the Anglo-Saxon secret services would organize bloody attacks in Europe to instil fear for Communism in the population, an Anglo-Saxon military group activates the strategy of tension to cause the “clash of civilizations”.

Negationism
France does not recover from its Algerian past

 By Thierry Meyssan | Paris (France) | 17 June 2005 | Voltaire, édition internationale | The Algerian FLN has interpreted the appointment of Philippe Douste-Blazy as the new french Minister of Foreign Affairs as a provocation. He is, in fact, the coauthor of a law that recently redeemed the colonization of Algeria. After six years trying to review their memories about that stage, France incurs repeatedly in contradictory actions without admitting the magnitude of the crimes committed. The reconciliation between both shores of the Mediterranean depends, however, and above all, upon the French reconciliation with their own history.

Financial Blackmail
Washington Is Preparing An Ultimatum Against The UN

 By Thierry Meyssan | 16 June 2005 | Voltaire, édition internationale | The Bush administration has increased its maneuvers in order to dissolve international law and bring the UN down to the status of a simple humanitarian organization. In the framework of the preparations for the next battle of this diplomatic war, the House of Representatives has decided to pass a bill that calls on the UN to join the 38 structural reforms under threat of boycotting its budget.

“Man is his own worst enemy”
Adapting the economy to the lack of oil

 By Thierry Meyssan | 15 June 2005 | Voltaire, édition internationale | The Western public opinion has stopped taking the so-often-announced depletion of oil resources as a serious problem. Yet, even when we still have oil left for a long time, this resource will be extremely expensive and the available quantity will not satisfy the world economic growth. The transition to other sources of energy will demand difficult adaptations and it is already provoking wars for the control of resources waged by the Coalition.

Five Years of Preparations
The Secret Planning of Iraq’s Colonization

 By Thierry Meyssan | 9 May 2005 | Voltaire, édition internationale | The decision to invade Iraq in order to disarm it was not made after the “failure” of UN inspectors, in March 2003, but five years earlier. During the Clinton administration, the Bush family was already preparing a pseudo-opposition in the exile and obtained the support of Congress. Since he assumed power, George W. Bush ordered the Pentagon to prepare the war, cooperation agreements were arranged for troops’ transportation and military exercises were conducted. In the meantime, at the United Nations they thought that it would be possible to find a peaceful solution to the crisis... March 19, 2005, will mark two years after the invasion and illegal occupation of Iraq by the US army, which never had the support of the United Nations.

Latvian President Rehabilitates Nazism

 By Thierry Meyssan | Paris (France) | 16 March 2005 | Voltaire, édition internationale | On March 16, 2005, a Waffen SS demonstration took place in the capital of a state that recently became a member of the European Union and NATO: Latvia. Authorities decided to allow it and to repress the citizens who protested. Far from being an isolated action, this event represents the culmination of a process, which aims at denying the disappearance of Nazism and rehabilitating it, led by the president of the Republic, Vaira Vike-Freiberga and openly financed by the Embassy of the United States. It takes place after Nazi parties have assumed power in different “democratized” states like, for instance, Ukraine.

The awakening of the "filthy beast"

 By Thierry Meyssan | 27 January 2005 | Voltaire, édition internationale | When, in his inauguration speech, George W. Bush announced his intention to go beyond international law and impose the law of the strongest, he took mankind back seventy years in time. The following article by Thierry Meyssan, director of Red Voltaire, was published as prologue to the book entitled "El Nerón del Siglo XXI" in its Spanish version. In this book, Meyssan describes the long path of the American people, who used to fight against what Bertolt Brecht, the great German poet, essayist and playwright, called the "filthy beast", which has today lead it to become its new incarnation.

SSB: Donald Rumsfeld’s Personal Secret Service

 By Thierry Meyssan | 24 January 2005 | Voltaire, édition internationale | Over the last two years, Donald Rumsfeld has headed a secret service whose existence he has hidden from Congress, revealed the Washington Post. It is a military intelligence branch inspired by the postwar action service: the “stay-behind”. High-level political figures have been recruited as spies in around a dozen countries and they are supported by Special Forces units. The service mission is to gather information and to favor “changes of regimes” that will be the priority of Bush’s second mandate.

Soft and Undercover Coups d’État
The Albert Einstein Institution: non-violence according to the CIA

 By Thierry Meyssan | 4 January 2005 | Voltaire, édition internationale | Non violence as a political action technique can be used for anything. During the 1980s, NATO drew its attention on its possible use to organize the Resistance in Europe after the invasion of the Red Army. It’s been 15 years since CIA began using it to overthrow inflexible governments without provoking international outrage, and its ideological façade is philosopher Gene Sharp’s Albert Einstein Institution. Voltaire Network reveals its amazing activity, from Lithuania to Serbia, Venezuela and Ukraine.

Defamation
Harassing Kofi Annan

 By Thierry Meyssan | 13 December 2004 | Voltaire, édition internationale | The campaign organised by the White House to force Kofi Annan to resign started with a network of newspapers in Iraq, the United Kingdom, and in the United States. Then it mobilized the CIA, Republican congressmen and organizations. Suspected of corruption, the UN’s Secretary General was paralysed. But, once again, the White House managed to unite everyone against it, involuntarily reinforcing Mr. Annan’s authority.
