Professor Richard Falk of Princeton has long been a thorn in the side of the U.S. foreign policy establishment because he has been an outspoken critic of Israeli policy toward the Palestinians.

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - Currently, he serves as U.N. Special Rapporteur on the Palestinians. But what’s raised the ire of the State Department this time has nothing to do with his views on the Palestinians but rather on 9/11.

For some time now, Falk has been skeptical of the official story around 9/11 and has blurbed the writings of David Ray Griffin, one of the leading critics.

Richard Falk Reponds to The Lobby`s Vilification

For anyone who read the blog post in its entirety, it should be plain that the reference to the 9/11 issues is both restrained and tangential.

(LOS ANGELES) - Because my blog prompted by the Arizona shootings has attracted many comments pro and con, and more recently has been the object of a more selective public attack on me personally, I thought it appropriate to post a supplementary blog with the purpose of clarifying my actual position and re-focusing attention on the plight and suffering of the Palestinian people being held in captivity.

The Crusade of Western Media Against Islam

Unfortunately, the public opinion in the West is unaware of the realities of Islam and Muslims.

(TEHRAN) - As the Western governments add fuel to the fire of Islamophobic sentiments in their societies with inflammatory and rabble-rousing actions and statements, the Western media mischievously try their best to portray a lopsided, biased and prejudiced image of Muslims.

It as an attempt which should be interpreted as an incontestable crusade against more than 25% of the world population.

Woman Abducted as Infant Reunited With Parents

Gov. Jesse Ventura Proves There was a Cover-Up Over 9/11

Former VP Cheney accused of engineering Pentagon attack; Rumsfeld cited as possible accomplice.

(CINCINNATI) - Confirmed sources in the Nigerian government tell us, in order to keep former Vice President Cheney out of prison for crimes involving Nigeria, $500,000,000 in bribes have been promised, negotiated by former President George H.W. Bush.

Michael Shermer Debunks the `19 Hijackers` Conspiracy Theory!

Many, though not all, of Shermer's points are at least partially valid, but they must be applied evenhandedly to all theories about any given historical event.

(LONE ROCK, Wisc.) - As Anthony Hall says, Michael Shermer isn't a real economics professor - he just plays one on TV.

But that doesn't mean he's always wrong. In a recent Scientific American article, Shermer gives us many reasons to think that the Official Conspiracy Theory of 9/11 is "likely to be untrue."

Addressing TV Professor Michael Shermer`s Unscientific Analysis

Canadian professor counters Shermer's watered down response in Scientific American article to 9/11 realities.

(ALBERTA) - I am responding to Michael Shermer's most recent column, wherein your regular columnist misrepresents my positions and my spoken intervention when he was at the University of Lethbridge in Alberta Canada.

For starters he wrongly quotes me as saying I accused him of being a disgrace to the economy whereas I clearly said Mr. Shermer is a disgrace to the academy.

(BANGKOK) - Recently, political pressure has been brought to bear against a trades unionist KEVIN BRACKEN, for attempting to express his views about the events of 9/11, on Australia’s publicly funded broadcaster, the ABC.

This video redresses the balance, and makes it clear that Australia’s prime minister is either ignorant, beyond belief, or she is putting the interests of nuclear, Apartheid Israel ahead of Australia’s.
