An academic in France has been sacked by the Ministry of Defence after questioning the official version of events surrounding the 9/11 attacks. He now reportedly plans to sue the government.
Aymeric Chauprade lost his job allegedly over the introduction to his latest book about political crises around the world, and more specifically, that the 9/11 attacks in New York City and Washington D.C. were an orchestrated “American-Israeli conspiracy”. The Defence Minister had strong objections to the material, so Aymeric had to go.
Jean Dominique Merchet, a French journalist, was the first to report on the sacking.
“The Ministry of Defence has reacted too brutally. They have transformed Chauprade into a victim, and not an intellectual opponent – even if what he defends is not good,” Merchet said.
Chauprade explained his firing by the Ministry of Defence as the result of him speaking about a subject that was considered off limits.
“I touched upon a taboo – the theory of a conspiracy plot. Apparently there is only one possibility in an accidental world. And all the wars have sprung from this – Afghanistan and so on.”
The book's introduction highlights a theory that the twin towers were blown up as part of an American-Israeli pact.
“He did scientific work – see it's written here, ‘the theories included here are contesting the official theory of Muslim responsibility’. That's an opinion!” says Chauprade’s lawyer Antoine Beauquier.
Defence Minister Herve Morin was reportedly outraged by the suggestions and demanded the academic's sacking from his job at the French Military College in Paris, where Chauprade was teaching geopolitics.
The Ministry has refused to comment on the affair.

Maybe you don't believe me but from the begining I always said and have said that the goverment of US was implied in this lie. What things make me thing so: - An excuse to invade Irak ¿ Reason? Many -Oil - Gas - Hidraulic Resources - Open Market - Strategic Location (Mlilitary and Comercial) - Pay the capitalists Who help Bush in his campaign - Prepare the field to invade others countries - Exhibit its armament for: intimidate (show its muscle) to others countries and sell its scrap - Justify the stopping of inmigration - Etc Surely it was an elaborated plan that take them maybe some years, If you believe with Obama is going to be better You are wrong He is only a messenger of a real power (comercial monopolys and/or great enterprices )..
I'm so pissed off at the US and all dumb americans who defend their government without seing what's right before their eyes!!! Do they really think that ALL THAT was achieved by a guy in a cave? And instead of trying to make us look stupid or crazy or calling us "conspiracy theorist", why the f*ck don't they answer to the billions of questions that people have asked? That teacher who has been fired in France was an isolated fact, we've seen many reports questioning the official version of 911 in France and I'm glad we did. If I had been born an american I would leave and pretend to be canadian. F*ck B*sh, I know we'll know the truth someday, I just hope I'll still be around.
