The new book by Nafeez Ahmed, based on very extensive and deep research, is by far the best on the 9/11 syndrome.

Votes of thanks to Ahmed, and to Interlink!

Europe resolved a great problem-the problem of the Zionist danger. The Zionists, who constituted a strong political party in Europe, caused much disorder there. Since they had a lot of property and controlled an empire of propaganda, they made the European governments helpless.
