TALK: We Are NOT Charlie Hebdo - Free Thinkers Question the French 9/11

A new book edited by Dr. Kevin Barrett, in which leading authors and activists challenge the official account of the Charlie Hebdo shooting in Paris, France on January 7, 2015.


Dr. Barrett spoke in Denver about this book on Sunday, July 19th, 2015. This is the talk.

Only one version of the Charlie Hebdo affair made the mainstream media: "Muslim extremists kill cartoonists and Jews." An officially-orchestrated response - "je suis Charlie" - immediately followed.

But is there another side to the story?

Disturbing facts quickly emerged. Politicians, big media, the security industry, and arms manufacturers all rushed to cash in. And freedom of speech in France – the supposed target of the terrorists – was rolled back by the French government. Even as millions marched for Charlie, millions more sensed that something was very, very wrong.

In We Are Not Charlie Hebdo, twenty leading public intellectuals refuse the invitation to identify with "Je Suis Charlie." Jews, Muslims, Christians, Protestants, Catholics, atheists, people of the left and right, progressives and traditionalists, people from many different countries and ethnicities – all have united to say "we are NOT Charlie Hebdo." Most suspect the whole affair was a false flag operation or psy-op. (Evidence for that interpretation is presented in the book.) Others merely dissent from the official, mythic false consensus.

If you question what governments tell you…if you doubt the mainstream media version of events…if you are NOT Charlie Hebdo…then this event is for you.
