AUTHOR OF 9/11 CONSPIRACY BOOK COMING TO NEW YORK! (BARF ALERT!)

A French author who suggests that the Sept. 11 attacks were concocted by a faction of the U.S. military is planning to promote his book on a tour that will begin in New York City.

The English title of Thierry Meyssan's book is "9-11, The Big Lie," which also suggests that the Pentagon was hit by an American missile, and not American Airlines Flight 77. USA Books, a subsidiary of the book's French publisher, says he could launch the tour as early as this month.

The dates have not been finalized yet, according to Asad Lalljee, of USA Books, but the publicity blitz is likely to include interviews with several major television news shows that have expressed interest. The tour also may include speaking engagements, Lalljee said.

The French press ridiculed the book, but it became a best seller in France for three months. The English version has not seen the same success on the best seller lists, but Lalljee said 5,000 copies have sold "without any marketing" in the past six weeks since it was made available.

"We do anticipate great demand," Lalljee said.

In the book, Meyssan suggests that the attacks were schemed in order to promote a U.S. military agenda that included waging war in Afghanistan.

When asked what did happen to Flight 77 and the 59 passengers and crew aboard, he says it's "one of the questions I don't have a response for." But he says that the shape of the gash in the Pentagon, where 125 people were killed, is not consistent with an airliner.

In a book refuting Meyssan's theories, authors Guillaume Dasquie and Jean Guisnel said that some French "adore these cranks telling them that they are victims of plots, that the truth is being hidden from them, that one must not accept the official version."

The U.S. Defense Department has called the allegations in the book "more than insulting."

Lt. Col. Ken McClellan, a Defense Department spokesman, said Monday he was "appalled" that Meyssan is planning a U.S. visit.

"Certainly there's a market for any sort of trivialization of history," McClellan said. "That doesn't make it less of a tragedy."

Meyssan, an activist with his own left-wing association called the "Voltaire Network," says he did not actually travel to the United States to investigate his theories, but had researchers working for him. He said much of his book is based on public documents, newspaper articles and the Internet.

Any Station that even gives this French Slime the time of day is UN-AMERICAN!!!

"A French author "

says it all....

[hellinahandcart]

This sure is getting a lot of advance publicity, isn't it?

I'm starting to think the booksigning might be a "self-freeper". We may have lots of help. :D

[Adrastus]

Here's hoping this pissant gets the welcome he so richly deserves.

[putupjob]

Maybe someone can tell Ted Olsen that Barbara Olsen DIDN'T die on the plane that DIDN'T crash into the Pentagon..

I wonder how the French moronic idiot has explained away the disappearance of all the Americans on Flight 77?

Minor problem, I'm sure.

Wait, wait, lemme move his silly pic over here from the other thread:

Helps to see who we're talking about, doesn't it?

Space aliens probed my butt at the fifty yard line at last year's Super Bowl.

Why does the video not exist? I don't have a response for that question.

But it happened.

[hellinahandcart]

LOL. Every girl's worst Blind Date Nightmare, oui?

[areafiftyone]

I would love for Ted Olson to give this guy a piece of his mind! I would love for the FDNY to run this guy out of the country!

[xrp]

let's toilet paper him and then give him a swirly in a toilet!

[El Gato]

Can't this guy be denied a visa? Oh I forgot, we never deny visa's to anti American terrorists or their sympathysers.

[putupjob]

I suspect there will be a little "welcoming party" when he comes here. Especially the FDNY. They should be especially fond of this guy. I hope for his sake that he doesn't break down at night in New York City somewhere. Don't think we'd be hearing from him again.

[hellinahandcart]

I vote for the atomic wedgie.

[areafiftyone]

He's as cute as a cockroach!

[onedoug]

Yeah, remember all the Nazis and Shintoists that promoted books here after Pearl Harbor?

9/11 Denial

[goldstategop]

Sure he's in great demand... right after Algore. And btw Ground Zero's just a government plot to fool the American people into believing America was attacked on 9-11 right?? Seriously it takes real chutzpah and breathtaking suspension of belief to hold the leaders of our government wanted to murder 3,000 Americans out of the blue on a fall morning in order to frame the Taliban regime and Osama Bin Laden. It doesn't say much for the intelligence of the French people they can swallow such utter bilge. Fortunately, Americans know better because we've lived this history for ourselves. I hope Thierry Meyssan's fraud goes to the bottom of the Amazon com list in the course of his book tour in this country.

[Cacique]

I am all for giving this maggot a warm reception. All we need to know now is time and places. It would be great if we knew what hotel he was staying at, we'd freep that too.
