Thierry Meyssan is a French Journalist and Political Activist. He is the author of investigations into the extreme right-wing, particularly France's National Front militias, as well as into the Catholic Church. He is a Political consultant and President-founder of the Réseau Voltaire (Voltaire Network). His recent books are investigative. His latest work in English Is Before Our Very Eyes, Fake Wars and Big Lies: From 9/11 to Donald Trump, Progressive Press, 2019. In 2002, he published a book on the September 11 terrorist attacks, with the English translation titled 9/11: The Big Lie. Meyssan argued that the attacks were organized by a faction of the US military–industrial complex in order to impose a non-democratic regime in the United States and to extend US imperialism. It is one of "the first wave of book-length conspiracy speculations" in France and Germany about 9/11.
