French professor sacked over 9/11 conspiracy theory

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.

This just goes to show you that having a good reputation and position will NOT protect you against "them." It also serves as a warning to any other people of conviction not to speak up.

Sickening.

French magazine Le Point published a hit piece on him earlier this month which was translated on Sott (with commentary)

And it just took a few more weeks for Sarko to have him booted for holding an illegal opinion on 9/11.

How very unFrench of the little bling bling wanna be dictator.

Chauprade has a support Website than can be found here (unfortunately it's in French)

Chauprade joins a growing list of French personalities who dared questioning the 9/11 official story and paid a high price for it.

Before Chauprade, Jean-Marie Bigard a notorious French humorist expressed his doubts about 9/11 and the whole media apparatus attacked him. He even received death threats and finally apologized.

Marion Cotillard, who got the best foreign actress Oscar in 2008 had the bad idea to propose alternative explanation for the 9/11 events. Once again the whole medias attacked her using name calling and other elegant tactics. Since then her career seems astonishingly quiet.

Few months after the WTC events, Thierry Meyssan, founder of the Voltaire Network appears on the stage of a famous French TV show hosted by Thierry Ardisson. Meyssan will become the favourite heretics of the medias while Ardisson will apologize in a latter show for having interviewed a "conspiracy theorist"

So, in France, the country of the Human Right, you have a total freedom of speech but obviously not on all topics.
