His last message was from Sunday midnight. He was sending it from a hotel in Libya.

| Press Release from the Voltaire Network | Tripoli: The Voltaire Network is concerned about the death threats against Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya and Thierry Meyssan | by Voltaire Network | Voltaire Network | August 22, 2011 | Voltaire Network, Monday August 22, 2011, 13h20 GMT | - The Voltaire Network is concerned about the threats against two of its collaborators in Tripoli. Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya, associate researcher at the Centre for Research on Globalization, and Thierry Meyssan, founder-president of the Voltaire Network and the Axis for Peace conference, are holed up in the Rixos hotel, where major battles are taking place. They would have been ordered to be shot. | Thierry Meyssan has been in Tripoli since June 23rd. He first led a team of investigators from the Voltaire Network. He has been carrying out journalistic information work on the conflict for two months. His positions differ from those of his colleagues: he describes the rebellion as minority and justifying a classic military operation in the eyes of the international public opinion. | Whatever positions Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya and Thierry Meyssan defend, their assassination would be unacceptable. Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya and Thierry Meyssan are not fighters, but journalists. People who support this war, thinking it is fought for democracy and freedom, cannot accept that journalists are assassinated. | At the moment, five states have offered them diplomatic protection. However, the battles around the hotel prevent them from leaving, and several of these embassies have been surrounded to make access impossible. | Knowing the threats against them, Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya and Thierry Meyssan do not expose themselves to "stray bullets." | The Voltaire Network calls on citizens of the countries involved in the war to pressure their governments to ensure the safety of these journalists. | It asks everyone to play their role as a citizen and to spread this information. |

Meyssan was the first to draw the world's attention to the inconsistencies in the official version of the events of September 11. He was dragged through the mud by journalists like Daniel Lecomte and Philippe Val, who executed him during a television show, without him being able to argue his case in self-defense.

Years ago, I had been one of the first to challenge, on my site, after Meyssan, the official theme of the Pentagon. It was then that an American billionaire, whose name I have forgotten, funded the production of a three-hour DVD describing a conference that had taken place in the USA, in New York.
Some time later, the same billionaire had hundreds of thousands of copies of these DVDs printed and distributed free of charge. He came to Paris and held a press conference in front of a gathering of journalists.
Echo: none
Then a website appeared, where the video was presented, subtitled in many languages. When I saw this, I told my readers "save these files. They won't stay online for long." Indeed, a few days later, the site was inaccessible. It was then that the video reappeared on other sites created by internet users. That day, a battle was won.
But the years have passed. Fatigue has taken its toll. Alix, president of the association reopen 9/11, has fought hard, selflessly. We are approaching the tenth anniversary, the anniversary date. What will happen? I think that all this will go unnoticed, drowned in the flow of other information," or of "disinformation," like the countless pages and videos devoted to the Strauss Kahn affair, about which I couldn't care less.
We don't know what remains of all these efforts. Alix told me a few months ago, "there will be this event date. Then this September 11 will belong to history."
For now, I am lending support to the anti-nuclear activists who have fought for years to safeguard our health and our future and who have sometimes paid for these battles with their lives. At 74, I can't do much more. See

Everywhere, at all turns of history and current events, one discovers the lie. What will be the outcome of this battle? I don't know. One is forced to say: "If I don't do it, no one will."
And tomorrow, what, in our dear "press"? One can imagine a headline:
- Under this tarp, the body of Thierry Meyssan, found riddled with bullets.
Maybe. Who will care?
I had him on the phone several times in previous years. He seemed tired. To destabilize him, they had infiltrated his network, which he was about to rebuild. I remember his voice on the phone:
- In all the chancelleries of the world, they know everything. They know what to expect. But they all stay silent ...
We learned from him not to take everything at face value, to try laboriously, painfully, to think for ourselves.
I hope that truth, clarity, and intelligence will eventually triumph over the lie, the cowardly cowardice, the foolish greed, and the vanity.
I hope......
