September 11th, 2001

The attacks of 11 September 2001 constitute the foundation myth used by the Anglo-Americans to justify their military gigantism. In a world where they face no rivals, they invented an imaginary and invisible enemy of unparalleled power: terrorism. It is therefore impossible to challenge such global military domination without at the same time questioning the U.S. Government’s version of the September 11 attacks and the alleged existence of a global Islamic conspiracy. Initiated by Thierry Meyssan through this website and his published works, the 9/11 Truth Movement is at present endorsed by the majority of public opinion the world over.
Just like a spool of thread, the story of Septemer 11 first started to unravel with questions regarding the presence of explosives in the wreckage of the World Trade Center and the absence of any plane parts at the Pentagon. It continued with the skepticism surrounding the other attacks attributed to Al Qaeda. It finally led to the questioning of the anti-terrorist laws and the legitimacy of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Kurt Sonnenfeld : Exclusive interview
9/11 FEMA videographer at Ground Zero goes public

| Buenos Aires (Argentina) | 22 June 2009 | Voltaire, édition internationale | As official videographer for the U.S. government, Kurt Sonnenfeld was detailed to Ground Zero on September 11, 2001, where he spent one month shooting 29 tapes of film: "What I saw at certain moments and in certain places ... is very disturbing!" He never handed them over to the authorities and has been persecuted ever since. Kurt Sonnenfeld lives in exile in Argentina, where he wrote "El Perseguido" (the persecuted). His recently-published book tells the story of his unending nightmare and drives another nail into the coffin of the government’s account of the 9/11 events. Below is an exclusive interview by The Voltaire Network.

Axis for Peace
General Ivashov: “International terrorism does not exist”

By General Leonid Ivashov | Brussels (Belgium) | 17 January 2006 | Voltaire, édition internationale | General Leonid Ivashov was the Chief of Staff of the Russian armed forces when the September 11, 2001, attacks took place. This military man, who lived the events from the inside, offers an analysis which is very different to that of his American colleagues. As he did during the Axis for Peace 2005 conference, he now explains that international terrorism does not exist and that the September 11 attacks were the result of a set-up. What we are seeing is a manipulation by the big powers; this terrorism would not exist without them. He affirms that, instead of faking a “world war on terror”, the best way to reduce that kind of attacks is through respect for international law and peaceful cooperation among countries and their citizens.

41 U.S. Counter-Terrorism and Intelligence Agency Veterans Challenge the Official Account of 9/11

By Alan Miller | 19 May 2009 | Voltaire, édition internationale | Following in the footsteps of well over 1,000 scientists and other professional groups who have already gone on record questioning the official theory, more than 40 U.S. Counter-Terrorism and Intelligence Agency veterans have come forward to challenge the Government’s rendition of the September 11, 2001 attacks. Their behind-the-scenes knowledge and experience of sensitive and classified issues places them in a uniquely authoritative position. In this sense, their critical stance is all the more damning for the government. Conspicuously absent from the landscape are the mainstream media professionals, as they continue to provide cover for the government’s totally bankrupt theory and fail to report on landmark developments such as this.

Operation Northwoods
The Terrorist Attacks Planned by the American Joint Chief of Staff against its Population

By Thierry Meyssan | 5 November 2001 | Voltaire, édition internationale | Conceived by the the American Joint Chief of Staff in 1962, the "Northwoods" operation foresaw a series of attacks killing civilians and American military men to mobilize the public opinion against Fidel Castro. An attack against a warship and a hijacking had notably been planned. Among the conspirators were people in charge of the the United States’ army by that time . The realization of this mentally ill plan was prevented, at the last minute, by the president John F. Kennedy.

No Hard Evidence Connecting Bin Laden to 9/11

By Ed Haas | 14 March 2008 | Voltaire, édition internationale | Osama bin Laden’s role in the events of September 11, 2001 is not mentioned on the FBI’s “Ten Most Wanted” poster. On June 5, 2006, author Ed Haas contacted the Federal Bureau of Investigation headquarters to ask why, while claiming that bin Laden is wanted in connection with the August 1998 bombings of US Embassies in Tanzania and Kenya, the poster does not indicate that he is wanted in connection with the events of 9/11.

Who Benefits from Crime?
The Hidden Financial Ties between the Bush and the Bin Laden Families.

By Thierry Meyssan | Paris (France) | 16 October 2001 | Voltaire, édition internationale | The perpetrators of September 11, 2001 attacks and the people that knew about these terrorist acts could prevent, anticipate and know what their economic effects would be. Consequently, they were able to make some speculative schemes in the stock market on the airlines that owned the hijacked airplanes, on the societies that had its headquarters in the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center and their respective insurances. They could also anticipate a possible general fall on the shares quoted on the stock market. In order to do all this, they just had to speculate for a fall by buying not only the shares of these companies but the «puts», that is, the «put option». The identification of these «knowers» involved in this financial crime represented not only a key piece in a stock market fraud but, and above all, a mean to directly or indirectly establish the identity of the perpetrators of the September 11 (...)

Lecture by Prof. David Ray Griffin
9/11: Time for a Second Look

By David Ray Griffin | Brussels (Belgium) | 18 April 2009 | Voltaire, édition internationale | Professor David Ray Griffin, renowned author of a series of series of eye-opening books that recount his painstaking research into the attacks of September 11, 2001, is on a tour of several major European cities. On the strength of mounting scientific evidence exposing the fabrication of the official account, it is indeed time for a second look at 9/11 and for people throughout the world to support the scientific experts and professional leaders who are calling for a new independent investigation, all the more since 9/11 and the so-called "war on terror" continue to be part of the Obama administration’s rhetoric and to serve as the rationale underpinning the ongoing military offensives abroad and the erosion of civil liberties at home.

"New" official video
The Pentagon magic plane, part 2

By Pierre-Henri Bunel | Paris (France) | 19 May 2006 | Voltaire, édition internationale | At the request of the neo-conservative association Judicial Watch, the US Department of Defence released the full version of the September 11th, 2001 attacks on Pentagon. The neo-conservative press is delighted at this broadcasting, which supposedly contradicts conclusively our analyses. In fact, the video does not contain any additional element in comparison with the images already broadcast in 2002, and where it is still impossible to see a Boeing 757-200. This sequence confirms, on the contrary, the analysis of the former artillery officer Pierre - Henri Bunel published by Thierry Meyssan in his book Pentagate, and that we reprint here today.

Does anybody still believe in the official version?

| 24 September 2002 | Voltaire, édition internationale | The readers of French newspapers could believe the official version of the September 11, 2001 attacks no longer raises questions. It seems everything is clear after a virulent polemic in the spring of 2001 regarding the research conducted by Thierry Meyssan. However, in other parts of the world, the issues questioned in the book “The Big Lie” and then in “The Pentagate” were discussed in hundreds of press articles and numerous TV and radio shows. Readers and journalists are asking questions in Latin America, Europe, Asia, Russia, Zagreb, Middle East…Here’s a little review of the international press.

Terrorism
Simulation exercises that make attacks easier

| 19 September 2005 | Voltaire, édition internationale | Just like military organizations, which carry out periodic exercises to check their equipment and organizational capacity for real combats, public civilian powers also hold their own attack-simulation exercises. By considering a hypothetical disaster, like that of a suicide airplane or the explosion of a bomb in the subway, crisis management groups are trained to coordinate relief actions and rapid responses. However, recent studies have shown that what should save lives has been used to make attacks easier. This is what happened in London on July 7, 2005 or in New York on September 11, 2001.

Thierry Meyssan’s Tribune in « El Mundo » (Spain), September 11, 2002
Neither Crusade, Nor Jihad, Let’s Unmask the Real Culprits!

By Thierry Meyssan | 11 September 2002 | Voltaire, édition internationale | By making up a new concept for “preventive justice”, President Bush understands having the universal right of bombing. Will the American people be able to hold their leaders accountable, to shed light over the attacks and to sanction the real culprits?

Presentation by Thierry Meyssan under the auspices of the Arab League
Who was behind the September eleventh attacks?

By Thierry Meyssan | 8 April 2002 | Voltaire, édition internationale | We present below a transcript of the presentation given by Thierry Meyssan on 8 April 2002 at the Zayed Center in Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates), at a gathering organized under the auspices of the Arab League and attended by the diplomatic corps and the international press corps. This presentation was followed by questions and answers, which are in the process of being transcribed and translated.

The Big Lie
September 11, 2001 attacks: the Japanese parliament asks Thierry Meyssan’s questions

| Tokyo (Japan) | 8 February 2008 | Voltaire, édition internationale | Some Japanese TV viewers had the privilege, on January 11th, 2008 to watch a surprising live Senate Commission broadcast: one of the parliamentary commissions’ chairman turned to the Prime Minister, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Finance and Defense to have them acknowledge that 6 years after the September 11th attacks, they are still unable to explain the facts and confirm that the attacks were organized from an Afghan cave. Our readers can find the full transcript of this lèse-majesté crime below.

Surprising number of passengers on Flight AA77 that allegedly hit the Pentagon had military connections

By Pino Cabras | Rome (Italy) | 8 February 2010 | Voltaire, édition internationale | Many are the inconsistencies concerning Flight AA77 which allegedly struck the Pentagon at 9:37 a.m. on September 11, 2001. We will not enumerate them here; other articles on this site already provide a detailed list of them. But new elements have recently emerged, resulting from investigations carried out by independent journalists. We reproduce below an extract from Strategie per una guerra mondiale, a book by Pino Cabras. It brings to light the inordinate proportion of passengers on board Flight 77 who had ties with the military sector and who were officially reported dead on September 11, 2001 at the Pentagon.

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.

Scientific evidence refutes the official story
9/11 Mind Swell

By Joel S. Hirschhorn | 11 August 2009 | Voltaire, édition internationale | On the occasion of the forthcoming eighth anniversary of the 9/11 events, Joel S. Hirschhorn takes stock of the situation and looks into the reasons why - notwithstanding its giant strides in debunking the US Government’s spin - the 9/11 truth movement has so far failed to garner enough public support for achieving its prime goal: the opening of a new 9/11 official investigation.

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.

Conspiracy fever: As rumours swell that the government staged 7/7, victims’ relatives call for a proper inquiry (Videos)

London (United Kingdom) | 6 July 2009 | Voltaire, édition internationale | It is impossible to disassociate the 9/11 attacks which were perpetrated on U.S. soil in 2001 from the 7/7 London attacks in 2005; the parallels between them are staggering. The respective official investigations concluded that the attacks had been conducted by Islamic terrorists who hated our freedoms. Now that the 9/11 official story is virtually in shatters, it is Tony Blair’s version of the London 7/7 attacks that is unravelling under pressure from the families of the victims and of the survivors themselves who have taken legal action to demand a full public inquiry. This article is of special significance since it was published in Britain’s second largest-selling daily newspaper, marking an important breakthrough in the mainstream media.

Kurt Sonnenfeld: an inconvenient 9/11 witness

Buenos Aires (Argentina) | 22 June 2009 | Voltaire, édition internationale | Kurt Sonnenfeld’s statement at the presentation of his book El Perseguido (The Persecuted) on May 8, 2009, at the 35th Annual Buenos Aires Book Fair in Argentina, where he lives in exile since 2003. Therein, Sonnenfeld tells the history of his persecution at the hands of U.S. authorities over the course of more than seven years after his official mission to Ground Zero as FEMA’s videographer ... an experience that turned him into an inconvenient witness.

Career Army Specialist sues Rumsfeld, Cheney, saying no evacuation order given on 9/11

By Stephen C. Webster | 26 December 2008 | Voltaire, édition internationale | Career Army Officer Sues Cheney, Rumsfeld for 9/11 complicity for failing to issue a warning that American Airlines Flight 77 was about to hit the building despite receiving knowledge of its approach some 20 minutes in advance. The Lawsuit mentions, inter alia, that on the eve of the attack Defendant Rumsfeld had conducted a press conference at the Pentagon in which he publicly announced that some 2.3 trillion dollars in Defense Department funds could not be accounted for.

9/11 is an inside job
The Empire and its lies

By Fidel Castro Ruz, Cuban Agency News | Havana (Cuba) | 14 September 2007 | Voltaire, édition internationale | On the 6th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, the Cuban television has broadcast a Venezuelan documentary about Thierry Meyssan’s work. During the following debate, a message from President Fidel Castro was read to the audience. As Hugo Chavez had done the year before, he points to the inconsistencies of the Bushians’ story around the events. Furthermore, explaining how a U.S. lobby had attempted to assassinate Ronald Reagan, he explains how such crimes and lies are rife within the Empire. Fidel Castro Ruz is the fifth current head of state to take this stand.
