Ganser will also examine the actions the US government has taken in the 22 years since 9/11 with the goal of maintaining and expanding its global hegemony. Ganser’s talk will draw from his latest book, USA: The Ruthless Empire, but will also touch on two major ongoing conflicts that have developed since the book was written: NATO’s proxy war against Russia in Ukraine and US ally Israel’s brutal war in Gaza. Opening Remarks and Roundtable Opening remarks will be given by researcher Elizabeth Woodworth and renowned international legal scholar Dr. Richard Falk, who were both close friends and colleagues of Griffin during his career. Then, following the hour-long lecture, Ganser and Falk, together with Marilyn Langlois, a longtime 9/11 and peace activist, will participate in a roundtable discussion. The event and roundtable will be moderated by Dr. Piers Robinson, a researcher of propaganda, conflict, and media. We look forward to welcoming you there and together envisioning a world without war and domination by global superpowers. |
