Last weekend, from October 9 to 11, Debora Blake and Annie Machon organized “Vers La Vérité” in Paris, France. The event was sponsored in part by ReOpen911 France. “Vers La Vérité” was a mix of public and private events where each sub-event was designed to facilitate communication between people who share common concerns on important issues, including 9/11. It was not a 100% 9/11 Truth conference. The goal was to position 9/11 in the broader context of related and equally disturbing issues such as illegal wars and reduction of civil liberties.

They kicked off the event with a press conference on Friday morning attended by a journalist from a mainstream newspaper, France Soir and the independent TéléLibre. The mayor of Paris's second district introduced Cynthia who made a brief statement and took some questions. Annie Machon also spoke briefly.

Following the Vers La Vérité event in Paris on October 9-11, KPFK in Los Angeles will be interviewing organizers Annie Machon and Debora Blake tonight, Oct. 13 from 8 to 9 pm PST, 11pm East Coast, 5:15 Central Europe. To listen live, http://www.kpfk.org/listen-live.html

EDIT:
Cynthia McKinney, keynote speaker at Vers La Vérité, led the discussion with Annie and Debora.

This looks to be a very interesting night in Paris.

Bonjour ,

Thanks to the French association www.reopen911.info for their good voluntarily work in putting up french subtiles on the italian documentary "ZERO : Inquiry into the 111th of September 2001 attacks" by the journalist and European parliamentary deputy Giulietto Chiesa

Last Monday and Tuesday, www.reopen911.info permitted the Parisians to see and debate this film in the cinéma action CHRISTINE.
The debate was as usual very interesting and rich. Pity that some of us had to leave before the end to catch our trains back home. When are the french newspapers going to inform the public about this and the other documentaries ? For those that could not go that day you can buy the DVD with the French subtitles from http://www.reopen911.info/

If Matt Taibbi had even one percent of Gore Vidal's intellectual grasp of American history, perhaps then it would make reading his presumed 'leftist' opinion about 9/11 a little easier to stomach. (I presume that Taibbi pitches from the left, because his screed is published at Alternet.org and AfterDowningStreet.org.) Fortunately, we don't need him. Gore Vidal is still among us, and it is his image and voice in the new Italian documentary 'Zero: an investigation into 9/11', that expresses a critical perspective of 9/11 that will ring true to the ears of those who will hear, and will help to free the prisoners currently living out the Allegory of the Cave, mesmerized by shadows of terror, cast upon the wall by the likes of yellow journalists like Taibbi.

Members of We are Change UK were at the European Parliament in Brussels to watch the Premiere of Zero, a new film that questions the official version of events on 9/11. A panel of guests were in attendance to answer questions before and after the film. These included David Ray Griffin, Yukisha Fujita MP and Giullietto Chiesa MEP.

David Ray Griffin is one of the leading authors on 9/11, having written 6 books on the subject. His newest book looks at the 25 largest contradictions in the 9/11 Commission Report.

Here is the second part of the European Parliament debate. In this clip the Italian Parlementarian addresses the question from the audience as to why none of the mainstream media journalist showed up.

More videos will follow.

The beautiful city of Amsterdam last weekend witnessed perhaps Europes first ever assemblage of 9/11 activists for a very special 2 day gathering.

Amongst the many dedicated and talented activists in attendance were Japanese MP Yukihisa Fujita and Italian MEP Giulietto Chiesa fresh from their meeting at the European Parliament in Brussels a few days prior. Other notable attendee's included Icelandic writer and scholar Elias Davidsson, Associate Professor at the Department of Chemistry, University of Copenhagen Niels Harrit and international war law expert and founder of The Campaign to Make War History Mr Chris Coverdale.

As well as introductions and reports from each country represented; future strategies, tactics and methods were discussed and debated.

Saturday evening saw the first preview of Dean Pucketts trailer for his forthcoming film 'The Elephant in the Room' shortly followed by a screening of Italian film 'Zero'.

Sunday morning featured a presentation of WTC 7 evidence from Professor Niels Harrit followed in the afternoon by a presentation and discussion of war law by Chris Coverdale which ran parallel with a workshop on grassroots activism.

Countries represented; France, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Iceland, Sweden, Ireland, Denmark, Belgium, Scotland & England.

MP Yukihisa Fujita

Yesterday evening I attended the Film + debate evening organised by the Euro-Parliamentarian Giulietto Chiesa, together with Yukihisa Fujita, David Ray Griffin and the makers (Paolo Jormi Bianchi, Thomas Torelli, Francesco Trento and Franco Fracassi) of the documentary film “ZERO - Inchiesta sull’11 settembre”.

Excellent movie, produced thanks to an enormous investment of time and money by the film-makers, and out of pocket donations from a very large number of citizens wanting the truth to shine forth. It deserves a wide distribution, hopefully also to a world-wide television audience.

It complements NuoViso.de’s “Unter Falscher Flagge”, which can already be seen on google-video with English sub-titles. The film “Zero” interviews many military and intelligence experts, some who I had not been listening to before. A highlight of the film is the wonderfully happy face of Dario Fo (1997 Italian Nobel Prize winner in Literature) who through-out the movie comments on certain known facts with his logic that should be grasped by the humanity loving child within each of us.

We all have way enough proof that the whole “Al-Qaeda” hype and “War on Terror” is a fraud. We must not tolerate these “McCain-like” synthetic-terror-mongering false paradigm messages in our media. It is long overdue that we speak out as citizens, and not only in internet forums. For example, we can picket the media during “11th of the month” actions.

Yukihisa Fujita stressed the importance to continue to increase the political and cultural weight of the growing amount of credible allegations by responsible people in all walks of society. Although the US State department is irritated that European media and political institutions are more and more deeply questioning the “OFFICIAL MYTHformation” of the “War on Terror”, in the end, the US will be most inclined to change its ways only when the American people themselves inform themselves better on the full depth of the criminality and “false flag” deception of its current rogue administration. This is something that will not magically disappear by electing an “Obama”. The whole media and political institution needs a full renewal before it again can deserve the trust of us American citizens.

Andreas von Bulow, Giulietto Chiesa, David Ray Griffin, Yukihisa Fujita will attend this historic evening where the Giulietto Chiesa's movie Zero. Perchè la versione ufficiale sull'11/9 è un falso will be projected and a debate will follow.

This historic event will happen on Tuesday, Feb 26th, and is the fruit of eight months of inquiry, documentaries and interviews conducted both in Europe and the USA.

In a piece written for Giulietto Chiesa's ZERO. PERCHÉ LA VERSIONE UFFICIALE SULL’11/9 È UN FALSO, a print publication that coincides with the roll-out of the Italian 9/11 documentary, ZERO - inchiesta sull'11 settembre, Canadian 9/11 skeptic Michel Chossudovsky summarizes his take on the "war on terror", pointing out the unbroken chain of links between "Al Qaeda" and Western Intelligence agencies from the 1980's through the 1990's. One of Chossudovsky's specialties is examining links between the KLA and Western support. In this piece he also examines the drug connections in Afghanistan and current support for radical movements in the former Soviet Union, India and China. -rep.

Al Qaeda and the "War on Terrorism"

by Michel Chossudovsky - Global Research, January 20, 2008

(snip)

From Bosnia to Kosovo

The "Bosnian pattern" described in the 1997 Congressional RPC report was replicated in Kosovo. With the complicity of NATO and the US State Department, Mujahideen mercenaries from the Middle East and Central Asia were recruited to fight in the ranks of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) in 1998-99, largely supporting NATO's war effort.

Confirmed by British military sources, the task of arming and training of the KLA had been entrusted in 1998 to the US Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) and Britain's Secret Intelligence Services MI6, together with "former and serving members of 22 SAS [Britain's 22nd Special Air Services Regiment], as well as three British and American private security companies". (The Scotsman, Edinburgh, 29 August 1999).

The US DIA approached MI6 to arrange a training programme for the KLA, said a senior British military source. `MI6 then sub-contracted the operation to two British security companies, who in turn approached a number of former members of the (22 SAS) regiment. Lists were then drawn up of weapons and equipment needed by the KLA.' While these covert operations were continuing, serving members of 22 SAS Regiment, mostly from the unit's D Squadron, were first deployed in Kosovo before the beginning of the bombing campaign in March. (Truth in Media, "Kosovo in Crisis", Phoenix, Arizona, http://www.truthinmedia.org/, 2 April 1999).

While British SAS Special Forces in bases in Northern Albania were training the KLA, military instructors from Turkey and Afghanistan financed by the "Islamic jihad" were collaborating in training the KLA in guerilla and diversion tactics.:(The Sunday Times, London, 29 November 1998).

"Bin Laden had visited Albania himself. He was one of several fundamentalist groups that had sent units to fight in Kosovo, ... Bin Laden is believed to have established an operation in Albania in 1994 ... Albanian sources say Sali Berisha, who was then president, had links with some groups that later proved to be extreme fundamentalists." (Ibid)

(Please note when reading this report that Francesco Cossiga was fully aware of, and helped to set up Operation GLADIO, which puts him in a very small, and suspect clique. I would recommend Giulietto Chiesa's approach, which is one of some skepticism and caution, because Cossiga's intent may not be altruistic. Babelfish translations in the comments area below. -rep.)

Former Italian President, Minister, First Minister, and currently Italian Senator-for-Life, Francesco Cossiga, declared that, to his knowledge, "Tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, the most important Italian magazine and newspaper editor will give proofs that the new Osama bin Laden video [sic] [...], in which there are threats against former Italian premier Silvio Berlusconi, is nothing but a fake, produced in Mediaset [Berlusconi's TV network] studios in Milan [...]. The trap has been forged in order to obtain solidarity towards Berlusconi[...]"

He then says that: "Palazzo Chigi [headquarters of the Italian government] circles, nerve center of Italian intelligence, note that the video's falsity is proven by the fact that Osama Bin Laden reportedly confesses that Al Qaeda made the September 11 attacks against the twin towers in New York, while all democratic circles in Europe and America, above all those of the Italian left-wing, know that the disastrous attack has been planned and executed by the CIA and Mossad, with the help of the sionist world, in order to accuse arab countries and force western powers to intervene both in Iraq and Afghanistan. This is why there has been no word of solidarity to Berlusconi from the Quirinale [home of the Italian president of the republic], from Palazzo Chigi nor from members of the left wing coalition"

In Italy, Cossiga is well known for his links with the USA and NATO intelligence services. This is the reason why Italian European parliament member Giulietto Chiesa wonders if Cossiga is actually trying to prevent the scoop he speaks about, or he is trying to "send messages" to the US government.

Cossiga's decleration can be read on the website of italian most important newspaper "Il Corriere della Sera" at the following link:
