With Daniele Ganser and other people of truth

Historian Daniele Ganser spoke on May 6, 2024 with the German journalist Helmut Reinhardt from the YouTube channel 'Politik Spezial' about the current political world situation, the background to the Ukraine war, and the role of the arms industry. Daniele Ganser says that NATO is led by the USA and directs Germany into dangerous wars. Therefore, Germany should withdraw from NATO.

On May 16, 2024, the Aachen Alliance "Diplomacy Instead of Weapons and Sanctions!" awarded Dr. Daniele Ganser the "Aachen Award for Humanity" shortly before his appearance at Eurogress Aachen. The welcoming words were spoken by Eugen Drewermann (via video message). Watch Drewermann's welcoming words and a photo review of the award ceremony here.

Daniele Ganser has a new community! He says: "I would be very happy to welcome you there! My goal is to strengthen inner and outer peace in these turbulent times!"

The Swiss historian and peace researcher Dr. Daniele Ganser spoke on November 3, 2018 in Basel on the subject of war criminals. Ganser relies on the UN prohibition of violence, which clearly prohibits wars since 1945, and says: All UN members refrain from any threat or use of force in their international relations. Anyone who violates the violence prohibition and conducts a war of aggression is a war criminal. In his lecture, Ganser includes among the war criminals Adolf Hitler for his attack on Poland in 1939. Mao Zedong for his attack on Tibet in 1950. Winston Churchill for his attack on Iran in 1953. Dwight Eisenhower for his attack on Cuba in 1961. Lyndon Johnson for his attack on Vietnam in 1964. Leonid Brezhnev for his attack on Afghanistan in 1979. Saddam Hussein for his attack on Kuwait in 1990. Bill Clinton for his attack on Serbia in 1999. George W. Bush for his attack on Iraq in 2003. Barack Obama for his attack on Syria in 2014. Donald Trump for his attack on Syria in 2017. Emmanuel Macron for his attack on Syria in 2018. Daniele Ganser calls in his concluding words to strengthen mindfulness and respect the UN ban on violence.

Can we trust the media? Swiss historian and peace researcher Dr. Daniele Ganser posed this question in his 60-minute lecture in Basel on March 3, 2018. Ganser emphasizes that there are indeed good journalists. There is no comprehensive reason to distrust all media reports. But the time when one blindly trusted the media is over, according to Ganser. Because there are constantly manipulations, distortions, lies, and war propaganda in the media. Ganser advises to be vigilant in consuming media and always observe one's own thoughts and feelings. What is triggered at the level of thoughts and feelings when I read this or see that? Daniele Ganser specifically presents 11 media stories in the lecture and each time urges the audience to look inward to recognize the impact the stories have. These are the eleven stories: 1) In France, in 2007, the newspaper "Paris Match" manipulated the image of President Sarkozy in a canoe. 2) In Great Britain, in 1997, the newspaper "Mirror" manipulated the Diana image to fake a kiss with Dodi. 3) In Switzerland, in 1997, the newspaper "Blick" manipulated the image of the Luxor terrorist attack and colored a water puddle red to make it look like blood. 4) In the USA, in 2015, the newspaper "New York Times" unfairly edited the picture of politicians who demonstrated on a side street after the Paris terrorist attack, making it look like senior politicians had blended in with the crowd. 5) In Israel, in 2015, the newspaper "HaMevaser" cut Chancellor Angela Merkel from the Paris picture. 6) In Germany, in 2012, ZDF misattributed the Homs video. 7) Worldwide, in 2016, during the US election campaign, Facebook spread the false story that the Pope supported President Trump. 8) In Germany, in 2003, the newspaper "Bild" claimed before the Iraq war that Saddam Hussein had ABC weapons, which was false. 9) In Great Britain, in 2003, the newspaper "Sun" claimed that Bin Laden was cooperating with Saddam Hussein, which was a lie. 10) In Great Britain, BBC reported prematurely on September 11, 2001, during the terror attacks, about the collapse of WTC7. 11) In Switzerland, in 2018, the "Aargauer Zeitung" reported unfairly on this conference at Scala Basel, even before the event had started. At the end, Daniele Ganser thanks the German journalist Ken Jebsen (from the press portal KenFM) and the geographer Rainer Rothfuss for their courage and good cooperation, and asks both to come on stage. All three look back with joy on the Tübingen lecture 'Medially Mediated Enemy Images and the Attacks of September 11, 2001 - Lecture by Daniele Ganser,' which has now surpassed the 1 million views mark on YouTube.

The Swiss historian and peace researcher Dr. Daniele Ganser spoke in Salzburg on October 27, 2018 about Energy and Humanism. Humanists advocate for the optimal development of human abilities through education and enlightenment. Humanists believe that humans are capable of improving themselves and the world. Ganser distinguishes in this lecture between external energies such as food, oil, coal, and solar energy, as well as internal energies like joy, courage, or fear. Ganser explains that in the realm of external energies, it is important to move away from non-renewable energies such as oil, natural gas, coal, and nuclear energy, and to build a world powered by 100% renewable energies. This will take time, but it is possible. The inner energy flows are harder for humans to recognize. Ganser explains in the lecture that we can strengthen our mindfulness by observing our thoughts and feelings from a certain distance and not identifying with them. We are not our thoughts. We are not our feelings either. We are the consciousness in which thoughts and feelings arise and pass away. Ganser explains that one's own mind can be visualized as a dog. If the dog is badly behaved, it runs around uncontrollably. Similarly, thoughts can behave and cause a lot of unrest when they are without guidance. To improve the inner energy flow, it is valuable to train one's own dog/mind and consciously direct thoughts towards peace. Ganser explains that war propaganda repeatedly fuels fear and hatred, and he shows concrete examples like the ABC lie before the US attack on Iraq in 2003. However, those who observe their thoughts and feelings through mindfulness are less likely to fall for war lies and therefore lose less inner energy.

"Dr. Daniele Ganser's recent statement regarding the demolition of WTC7 in St. Leon-Rot on 9.9.2019 has sparked important discussions. We encourage open dialogue and critical thinking on this matter. Let's approach this topic with respect and a commitment to seeking the truth."

The Nord Stream file: Swiss historian Daniele Ganser believes that US President Joe Biden ordered the explosion of Nord Stream a year ago on September 26, 2022. US journalist Seymour Hersh has solved the terrorist attack. The Andromeda story with the Ukrainians is not credible, although it is repeatedly portrayed as a plausible narrative by ARD and Spiegel. It's surprising that Chancellor Scholz remains silent. Jeffrey Sachs, John Mearsheimer, Douglas MacGregor, and Sahra Wagenknecht, like Ganser, believe that Hersh is right, as shown in this 8-minute review by the Swiss weekly newspaper Weltwoche.

In this week’s Libertarian Angle, Jacob and Richard and special guest Daniele Ganser discuss Ganser’s fantastic book on U.S. foreign policy, USA: The Ruthless Empire. The Future of Freedom Foundation was founded in 1989 by FFF president Jacob Hornberger with the aim of establishing an educational foundation that would advance an uncompromising case for libertarianism in the context of both foreign and domestic policy. The mission of The Future of Freedom Foundation is to advance freedom by providing an uncompromising moral and economic case for individual liberty, free markets, private property, and limited government.

Swiss historian and peace researcher Dr. Daniele Ganser spoke on August 21, 2018 in Leipzig about the NATO expansion, which he classified as a breach of promise. After the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the reunification, Germany became a member of NATO. The Soviet Union peacefully withdrew all its soldiers from Germany. The NATO had promised not to expand its sphere of influence to the East, US Secretary of State James Baker pledged on February 9, 1990, in Moscow to Mikhail Gorbachev. Historian Ganser presents the word-for-word transcript of the conversation. This proves that Baker promised that NATO would not. Shortly after the coup, on March 16, 2014, the population of Crimea voted for secession from Ukraine and annexation to Russia. According to Ganser, this was considered a secession, not an annexation. In his conclusion, the historian emphasizes the importance of respecting the UN ban on the use of force. He particularly stresses the importance of not dividing the human family along national borders, as this has historically led to war and suffering.

This lecture by Swiss historian and peace researcher Dr. Daniele Ganser shows that both the attack by France in 1946 and the attack by the USA in 1964 on Vietnam were illegal because they both violated the UN Charter prohibition on the use of force. The lecture also explains in understandable terms how these wars came about and how the public in the USA and Europe were deceived by US President Lyndon Johnson with the Tonkin lie. The lecture emphasizes the importance of the UN Charter prohibition on the use of force for world peace. It shows, using the example of Vietnam, the great suffering that occurs when the principle of the human family is betrayed and people are divided along lines of nation, skin color, or religion, then devalued, and ultimately even killed. The lecture was held on May 28, 2018, in Hannover.

Those who engage with the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 and the invasion at the Bay of Pigs in 1961 can still learn a great deal about covert warfare and US imperialism today. For example, politicians never honestly inform about covert warfare because it is illegal. Specifically: During the covert CIA-supported invasion of Cuba, US Secretary of State Dean Rusk was asked by the press on April 17, 1961, whether the US had anything to do with the invasion. He replied: "The American people have a right to know whether we are intervening in Cuba or intend to do so in the future. The answer to that question is no. What happens in Cuba must be decided by the Cuban people." That was a lie. Dr. Daniele Ganser has long been engaged with the Cuban Missile Crisis and presented the results in his new book "Illegal Wars" in the chapter on Cuba. Daniele Ganser gave this lecture on May 5, 2017, at the Rudolf Steiner House in Hamburg to present his research results to the interested public.

Swiss historian and peace researcher Dr. Daniele Ganser gave a lecture on October 25, 2020 in Dresden on the assassination of US President John F. Kennedy in Dallas on November 22, 1963. President Kennedy was assassinated in the city center of Dallas while on a campaign trip in Texas with multiple gunshots fired during a drive in an open car. The sole perpetrator accused was then 24-year-old Lee Harvey Oswald. He was arrested and presented to the public. Two days later, Oswald was to be transferred to the Dallas State Penitentiary. However, Oswald was shot by nightclub owner Jack Ruby in the basement of the police building before any charges or trial could take place. In his lecture, Daniele Ganser revisits the historical case. There are many inconsistencies in the official account of events, which the Warren Commission, under the influence of former CIA Director Allan Dulles, presented in their 800-page report at that time. Was the murder of John F. Kennedy not the act of a lone madman, but a conspiracy by certain groups who wanted to eliminate the President? Was Lee Harvey Oswald even the murderer? What can be gleaned from the film by Abraham Zapruder, which shows the assassination? What role did CIA Director Allen Dulles play, who was dismissed by President Kennedy after the failed secret CIA invasion of Cuba in April 1961 and then became his archenemy until his death?

The Swiss historian and peace researcher Dr. Daniele Ganser spoke on April 2, 2019 in Offenbach about the attack of Saudi Arabia on Yemen in 2015, which he classifies as illegal. Ganser relies on the UN prohibition of violence, which clearly prohibits wars since 1945 and states: All UN members refrain from any threat or use of force in their international relations. In his presentation, Ganser shows that Saudi Arabia attacked the neighboring country of Yemen on March 26, 2015, and that US President Obama supported the attack. The Saudi ambassador in Washington, Adel al-Jubeir, had informed Washington before the attack on Yemen. After the outbreak of war, American Army helicopters off the coast of Yemen rescued Saudi fighter pilots from the sea. The pilots had ejected from their American F-15 jet using an ejection seat. King Salman thanked President Barack Obama for the support. Repeatedly, the US Air Force assisted in refueling Saudi fighter jets in the air. The US defense contractor Boeing benefits from the war. Maintenance and repair of Saudi Arabia's F-15 fighter jets are carried out by US specialists. Kamel Jendoubi of the UN explained that Saudi Arabia was acting brutally towards civilians in Yemen. Saudi airstrikes targeted wedding and funeral parties, markets, ships with civilians on board, and medical facilities. Killing civilians is a war crime. The Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, who lived in the US and criticized the war in Yemen, was murdered on October 2, 2018, in Saudi Arabia's consulate in Istanbul, Turkey. Newspapers reported that a hit squad from Saudi Arabia, on behalf of Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman (MBS), murdered the journalist Khashoggi. In his closing words, Daniele Ganser calls for respect for the UN prohibition of violence and emphasizes that the human family should not be divided by nationality, skin color, or religion.

The Swiss historian and peace researcher Dr. Daniele Ganser spoke on December 5, 2016 in Berlin about the NATO attack on Serbia in 1999, which he classifies as illegal. Ganser relies on the UN ban on violence, which clearly prohibits wars since 1945, and says: All UN members refrain from any threat or use of force in their international relations. Ganser shows in his lecture how framing in political communication creates a mental framework to steer the thoughts and feelings of the population without them noticing. Framing was also used in Germany: Before the attack on Serbia, the German Defense Minister Rudolf Scharping claimed that there were concentration camps in Pristina. That was not true. With the lie about the concentration camps, a false impression was created in Germany that this war was a good war to help the people in Serbia. The ARD journalists Jo Angerer and Mathias Werth later showed with their valuable documentary "It Began with a Lie" that the concentration camp frame was wrong. Scharping had invented a horror story. Colonel Lieutenant Jochen Scholz also confirmed that Rudolf Scharping led a veritable PR battle in 1999. Scharping did this repeatedly with unfounded claims and had no qualms about inventing stories such as the concentration camp. Ganser concludes his lecture with the finding that honest politicians and media are needed. War propaganda always generates suffering and confusion. It is important that the frame, i.e., the interpretation framework of a war, be critically questioned. Above all, the UN prohibition on the use of force must be respected, as wars of aggression are always illegal.

Is it good for Germany to blindly follow the USA? Why did the USA sabotage peace in Istanbul when Russia and Ukraine wanted to lay down their weapons in March 2022? These and other questions were discussed by keynote speaker Markus Hofmann from Munich and Swiss historian Daniele Ganser. The conversation was recorded on January 16, 2024.

The Swiss historian and peace researcher Dr. Daniele Ganser spoke on April 1, 2019 in Nuremberg about the failed coup of the USA in Venezuela in the spring of 2019, which he classifies as illegal. Ganser bases himself on the UN prohibition of violence, clearly and explicitly prohibiting the use of violence and therefore also banning coups. In his presentation, Ganser shows that Venezuela has been ruled by the left-nationalist President Nicolas Maduro, elected by the people, since 2013. According to its Ministry of Oil, Venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the world with 296 billion barrels, claiming that the reserves are even larger than those of Saudi Arabia. Juan Guaido, opposition leader and President of the Parliament, declared himself the new President of Venezuela on January 23, 2019. US President Trump declared on the same day that he recognized Guaido as the interim president. The USA hoped to be able to overthrow President Maduro through this. However, this was not successful. With economic sanctions, comparable to the sieges of cities in the Middle Ages, the USA tried to force Venezuela to its knees. In Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, the power went out on March 7, 2019 for hours. 'No food, no medication. Now no electricity. Maduro won't be here for long,' tweeted US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo during the power outage to increase pressure on Venezuela. 'The USA should leave Venezuela alone. Let the people in Venezuela decide about their future on their own,' said the US Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard from Hawaii. 'We also don't want other countries to choose our leaders, so we have to stop doing this in other countries.' Under pressure from the USA, German Chancellor Angela Merkel recognized coup plotter Guaido as interim president on February 4, 2019. That was wrong. The Scientific Service of the Bundestag in Berlin reminds us that only the elected President and Parliament have the right to declare a coup.

Historian and peace researcher Dr. Daniele Ganser looks back in this video on the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 in the USA and the collapse of WTC7. These attacks, commonly known as 9/11, are the deadliest terrorist attacks in history in terms of the number of casualties. After these terrorist attacks, the USA, under the command of President George Bush from 2001, went to war in Afghanistan and from 2003 in Iraq. Both wars were illegal since President Bush did not have a mandate from the UN Security Council. Many believe that back then only two towers collapsed in New York: WTC1 and WTC2, the famous Twin Towers. But that's not true. WTC7 also collapsed that day, without being hit by an airplane. BBC reported the collapse 20 minutes too early while the building was still standing. WTC7 had 47 floors and was 186 meters tall. It collapsed completely in just 7 seconds. During the first two and a quarter seconds, the tower fell at free-fall speed, without any resistance, accelerating downwards due to gravity. How is this possible? How could 81 vertical steel columns lose their stability simultaneously? For a long time, there has been controversy over whether fire or explosion caused the collapse. More and more observers, including Daniele Ganser, conclude 22 years after the attacks that only demolition can logically explain the collapse of WTC7. This means that we have never been honestly informed about the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. 9/11 triggered the so-called 'war on terror.' Anthropologist Dr. Stephanie Savell, who leads the project 'Costs of War' at Brown University, has examined the number of deaths caused by the 'war on terror,' also taking into account the indirect victims of these wars. These include people who did not die as a result of combat but due to lack of medical care, destroyed infrastructure, or hunger. Savell states that the wars investigated in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and Somalia, all part of the 'war on terror,' directly claimed around 937,000 lives. In addition, there are the indirect deaths of war, totaling about 3.7 million people. Therefore, the interventions by the USA after 9/11 accounted for approximately 4.5 million lives. (Source: Stephanie Savell: How Death outlives war. Costs of War. Brown University May 15, 2023). Hence, a critical discussion about 9/11 is important to find out what really happened back then.

From 2015 to early 2023, Ted served as director of strategy and development for Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth. In 2023, Ted produced and directed the feature documentary 'Peace, War and 9/11' with Canadian peace activist and researcher Graeme MacQueen.

Swiss historian and peace researcher Dr. Daniele Ganser spoke on June 3, 2017 in Cologne about Turkey and the war in Syria. Ganser explains that Turkey joined NATO in 1952. The Turkish military base Incirlik has been used by the USA for various wars in the Middle East. In his presentation, historian Ganser emphasizes that NATO is led by the USA, and that it has always been important for the US Empire to keep Muslim Turkey in NATO. Therefore, during the Cold War, the CIA cooperated very closely with the Turkish military and intelligence services. When General Kenan Evren took power in Turkey through the coup of September 12, 1980, the director of the CIA station in Istanbul, Paul Henze, pulled the strings in the background. "Your people have just staged a coup!" said US President Jimmy Carter to Paul Henze of the CIA at that time. Ganser refers to the UN prohibition of violence, which clearly prohibits such CIA coups and states: All UN members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force. With the financing and arming of rebels/terrorists who wanted to overthrow Syrian President Assad from 2011 onwards, and the invasion of Turkish tanks into Syria on August 24, 2016, Turkish President Erdogan also violated the UN prohibition of violence. After conspirators in the Turkish military attempted to overthrow President Erdogan on July 15, 2016, he blamed the USA and the preacher Fethullah Gulen living in exile there for the attempted coup. Erdogan distanced himself from the USA and developed closer relationships with Russian President Vladimir Putin. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg stated: "NATO played no role in the planning or support of the coup attempt in Turkey." But President Erdogan did not believe him. The "crossbearers" had tried to dethrone him. Distrust towards the USA has

Swiss historian and peace researcher Dr. Daniele Ganser spoke in Dresden on November 1, 2016 about the 2001 attack on Afghanistan, which he classifies as illegal. Ganser relies on the UN prohibition of violence, which clearly prohibits wars since 1945 and says: All UN members refrain from any threat or use of force in their international relations. In his lecture, Ganser shows that the attack on Afghanistan was justified by reference to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. However, this is not permissible because these terrorist attacks, and especially the collapse of WTC7, are not clarified. Nevertheless, the Bundestag in Berlin narrowly agreed on November 16, 2001 to the war against Afghanistan with 336 yes votes against 326 no votes and sent the Bundeswehr to the Hindu Kush. Ganser points out that wars are often started by lies and cites the British and American attack on Iraq in 2003 as an example, which was justified by the ABC lie and clearly violated the UN prohibition of violence. Ganser also explains in the lecture that the bombing of Syria by the USA from 2014 onwards was a violation of the UN prohibition of violence.

In Switzerland, there existed a secret army named P-26 during the Cold War. This was uncovered by the PUK EMD after the Fichen affair in the year 1990. The P-26 had 400 members. At the time of its exposure, it was still under construction and was supposed to grow to 800 members. In the 'Schweizerhof', an army facility carved into the rock above Gstaad in the canton of Bern, the 400 P-26 members received their basic training. Pistols, hand grenades, special rifles, explosives, medical supplies, and radios for the secret army were stored in weapon depots scattered throughout the country. In the event of a hostile occupation of Switzerland, the P-26 was to build and lead the resistance. Similar stay-behind secret armies existed abroad, coordinated by the CIA and MI6. The Swiss population and the majority of the parliament were unaware of the existence of P-26. Even the Swiss Defense Minister Kaspar Villiger did not know that P-26 existed. 'I was shocked that such a thing could happen here,' said CVP Senator Carlo Schmid, who led the parliamentary investigation. The head of the P-26 was Efrem Cattelan. His code name was 'Rico.' In December 1990, he appeared before the Swiss press for the first time. Hans-Rudolf Strasser was Efrem Cattelan's right-hand man. Strasser worked at the Ministry of Defense EMD as the head of information and was the communication responsible of the Chief of Staff. His code name was 'Franz.' One of the fiercest critics of the P-26 was the long-time SP president Helmut Hubacher. He believed that the secret organization 'was illegal and unworthy of a constitutional state.' Former Chief of the Swiss Army General Staff Hans Senn held a different opinion, stating that building up the resistance was important and could only be done in secret. The democratic attitude of the army leadership could not be doubted. Particularly sensitive for neutral Switzerland was the integration of the P-26 into the Ne

The war in Ukraine, which has cost the lives of more than 200,000 people, could have been ended much earlier. Many people still do not know that six weeks after the Russian invasion on March 29, 2022, in Istanbul, there was a real chance for peace. It is important for the peace movement to know these facts. Back then, the Ukrainians under President Zelensky and the Russians under President Putin had almost made peace. The core of the peace deal was the neutrality of Ukraine. The Ukrainian delegation presented a position paper on March 29, 2022, leading to the Istanbul Communique. It explicitly stated: 'Ukraine declares itself a neutral state and promises to remain block-free... and not to host any foreign military bases or troop contingents.' In return, the Russians promised to withdraw from all territories captured since February 24, 2022. This would have ended the war after six weeks. However, this peace was sabotaged by US President Biden and British Prime Minister Johnson. Washington and London wanted Ukraine to continue fighting to weaken Russia. 'In Istanbul, the Russians negotiated with the Ukrainians after the invasion. It was about Ukrainian neutrality,' said US Professor John Mearsheimer. 'It is very clear that the USA, working through Boris Johnson, made it clear to Ukraine that we did not want them to make a deal with the Russians. Because by the end of March 2022, we were confident that we could defeat the Russians in Ukraine. Neutrality for Ukraine was therefore not acceptable to us.' To break the peace process, on April 9, 2022, the then British Prime Minister Johnson traveled to Kiev and caused the Ukrainian President Zelensky to not sign the peace agreement and break off talks with Russia. According to Mearsheimer,

The video discusses the events of September 11, 2001, and questions the official narrative, suggesting that controlled demolition may have been involved in the collapse of the World Trade Center towers. The speaker examines eyewitness testimonies and points out inconsistencies in the official explanation, raising doubts about the true nature of the attacks and the subsequent wars in the Middle East. [00:12](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAKZTaS6ZkI&list=PLJ66jnKkCnrzAzNowE8C_6SPU3WaXm4lx&index=2&t=12.887) The speaker discusses his experience of presenting the events of 9/11 to young people and asserts that the official narrative is false, arguing that it was not Arab extremists who were responsible for the attacks. - The speaker projected a Wikipedia page on the 9/11 attacks and highlighted one line, stating that while that line may be true, everything else is false. - He believes that the 9/11 attacks were a fraud and not carried out by Arab extremists. - The speaker questions why the richest country in the world would invade the poorest country in the world and justifies his mission to fight against war on Earth. [11:30](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAKZTaS6ZkI&list=PLJ66jnKkCnrzAzNowE8C_6SPU3WaXm4lx&index=2&t=690.314) The speaker discusses different types of triggers for war and provides examples. - Natural triggers occur when two armies clash over the same territory. - Controlled triggers involve exploiting a random event to escalate a conflict intentionally. - The speaker mentions the example of Pearl Harbor as a controlled trigger for war. [22:59](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAKZTaS6ZkI&list=PLJ66jnKkCnrzAzNowE8C_6SPU3WaXm4lx&index=2&t=1379.628) This section of the video discusses the disbelief and confusion surrounding the events of September 11, 2001. - The scene is described as resembling a Hollywood movie with people crying and holding hands while observing the wreckage of the World Trade Centers. - The narrator recalls having conflicting memories and accepting the mainstream narrative despite a gut feeling that something was wrong. - The speaker mentions attending a World Health Organization meeting in Geneva in 2003, where officials publicly claimed everything was fine, but privately expressed doubts. [34:28](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAKZTaS6ZkI&list=PLJ66jnKkCnrzAzNowE8C_6SPU3WaXm4lx&index=2&t=2068.232) There were multiple explosions on September 11, 2001, contradicting the official narrative. - 31 people used the term "bomb" to describe their experience. - Witnesses reported large explosions and smoke filling the area. - Eyewitness accounts provide important evidence contradicting the official explanation of the collapse of the steel-framed buildings. [45:55](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAKZTaS6ZkI&list=PLJ66jnKkCnrzAzNowE8C_6SPU3WaXm4lx&index=2&t=2755.627) Various individuals, including the editor of an Arab newspaper and former government officials, expressed the belief that the 9/11 attacks were a deliberate act of war and called for a military response from the United States. - The editor of an Arab newspaper received a warning from Osama bin Laden's employees but did not take it seriously. - Former government officials, including the ex-Defense Minister, ex-Foreign Minister, and ex-Prime Minister of Israel, expressed support for a military response. - Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the House, referred to the 9/11 attacks as the "Pearl Harbor of the 21st century" and emphasized the need to treat it as an act of war. [57:22](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAKZTaS6ZkI&list=PLJ66jnKkCnrzAzNowE8C_6SPU3WaXm4lx&index=2&t=3442.814) The speaker discusses the connection between the 9/11 hijackers and the anthrax attacks, suggesting a cover-up to hide the involvement of the hijackers in both incidents. - Lewis Saletti, a neighbor of Bob Stevens, who died from anthrax, lived near the flight school where Mohamed Atta, one of the hijackers, trained. - Gloria Irish, a real estate agent who worked for the first person to die from anthrax, also had connections to some of the 9/11 hijackers. - The anthrax attacks were traced back to American military laboratories, making them ineffective for the intended purpose of implicating the hijackers. - The speaker suggests that the cover-up was to prevent the revelation that the hijackers were involved in both the 9/11 attacks and the anthrax attacks. [01:08:53](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAKZTaS6ZkI&list=PLJ66jnKkCnrzAzNowE8C_6SPU3WaXm4lx&index=2&t=4133.212) The section discusses the "Shock and Awe" operation during the Iraq War and raises suspicions about the justification for the war. - American warships and aircraft initiated the Operation Iraqi Freedom with a series of attacks. - The quick authorization of power and authority to the president is seen as suspicious, given the lack of knowledge about what happened and who was responsible. - The narrative of the war against terror and evil Islamists, led by Osama bin Laden, has already been decided upon, despite the lack of reasonable evidence. - The upcoming airstrikes tonight are expected to be less intense than the previous night's attack. - The section questions the connection between Iraq and weapons of mass destruction, implying that the war is not justified. [01:20:22](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAKZTaS6ZkI&list=PLJ66jnKkCnrzAzNowE8C_6SPU3WaXm4lx&index=2&t=4822.192) The speaker researched the predictions made by about 60 firefighters in the New York Fire Department regarding the collapse of WTC 7 and found that they made the predictions two hours or more in advance, even though the building did not appear significantly damaged. - The speaker wanted to know when the firefighters made the predictions and how certain they were about them. - The speaker also wanted to understand if the predictions were based on visible damage to the building or other factors. - The collapse of WTC 7 led to extensive speculation as it did not fit the typical textbook example and there were no airplanes that hit the building.

On June 22, 2019 Swiss Historian and Peace Researcher Daniele Ganser spoke in Amsterdam in the Delamar theater on the topic of illegal wars and 9/11. The event was organised by George van Houts. Ganser explained in his talk that wars are illegal, because the UN Charter, passed after the Second World War in 1945, clearly says: All UN-members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force.
