      Omissions et manipulations de la Commission d'enquête

      " Au final, le rapport de la commission d'enquête sur le 11 septembre, loin de diminuer mes soupçons sur une complicité officielle, a servi à les confirmer. Pourquoi les responsables chargés du rapport final s'engageraient-ils dans une telle supercherie, si ce n'était pour tenter de couvrir des crimes très graves ? " David Ray Griffin. Après la lecture de ce livre argumenté de façon implacable, la partialité de la commission d'enquête apparaît manifeste. Il devient également difficile de croire que l'administration Bush n'a pas, au minimum, délibérément décidé de laisser se produire le 11 septembre, ainsi qu'en sont désormais convaincus plus de la moitié des New-Yorkais.

      The book explores the longstanding philosophical issue of the mind-body problem, often referred to as the "world-knot" by Schopenhauer. It examines the traditional dualism and materialism perspectives held by realists who acknowledge the physical world. However, it advocates for a new, innovative approach to better understand the intricate relationship between mind and body, suggesting that existing frameworks may no longer suffice in addressing this fundamental dilemma in philosophy.

      Many Americans have been embarrassed by the Trump presidency. But Americans should also be embarrassed by the fact that this country's foreign policy since 2001, which has resulted in millions of deaths, has been based on a complex deception.9/11 Unmasked is the result of a six-year investigation by an international review panel, which has provided 51 points illustrating the problematic status of all the major claims in the official account of the 9/11 attacks, some of which are obviously false. Most dramatically, the official account of the destruction of the Twin Towers and World Trade Center 7 could not possibly be true, unless the laws of physics were suspended that day. But other claims made by the official account, including the claims that the 9/11 planes were taken over by al-Qaeda hijackers, that one of those hijackers flew his plane into the Pentagon, and that passengers on the planes telephoned people on the ground, are also demonstrably false.

      "Traces the trajectory of the American Empire from its founding through to the end of the 20th century. This book demonstrates the falsity of the claim for American exceptionalism, a secular version of the old idea that America has been divinely founded and guided. The American Trajectory contains many episodes that many readers will find surprising: That the sinking of the Lusitania was anticipated, both by Churchill and Wilson, as a means of inducing America's entry into World War I; that the attack on Pearl Harbor was neither unprovoked nor a surprise; that during the "Good War" the US government plotted and played politics with a view to becoming the dominant empire; that there was no need to drop atomic bombs on Japan either to win the war or to save American lives; that US decisions were central to the inability of the League of Nations and the United Nations to prevent war; that the United States was more responsible than the Soviet Union for the Cold War; that the Vietnam War was far from the only US military adventure during the Cold War that killed great numbers of civilians; that the US government organized false flag attacks that deliberately killed Europeans; and that America's military interventions after the dissolution of the Soviet Union taught some conservatives (such as Andrew Bacevich and Chalmers Johnson) that the US interventions during the Cold War were not primarily defensive. The conclusion deals with the question of how knowledge by citizens of how the American Empire has behaved could make America better and how America, which had long thought of itself as the Redeemer Nation, might redeem itself."--Provided by publisher
