After receiving a wealth of eye-opening information on major cover-ups from a number of
respected friends and colleagues, Fred was inspired to develop this website
in October 2002. Continually opening to divine guidance, Fred has dedicated
himself both to getting the word out about the cover-ups, and to inspiring others

Press Conference, held at the highly esteemed National Press Club in Washington,
DC. At this landmark event, over twenty military, government, intelligence, and corporate witnesses
presented compelling testimony
of their personal experiences regarding the existence of extra-terrestrial life
forms visiting the planet.
Many millions around the globe watched or heard about this press conference
through webcast and subsequent media coverage on BBC, CNN worldwide, Voice
of America, Pravda, Chinese media, and media outlets throughout Latin
America. Dr. Greer has also been seen and heard by millions world-wide on shows

of philosophy of religion and theology, Dr. Griffin is the author or editor
of
over 20 books, many of them highly acclaimed. He is one of 60
scholars worldwide included in the most recent Handbook of Christian Theologians.
After learning of numerous facts that seem to contradict the official account
of 9/11, Dr. Griffin turned his attention to this subject and wrote the landmark book, The
New Pearl Harbor. Although largely ignored by the mainstream media, this highly revealing book
has been widely read and translated into many other languages.
Dr. Griffin has published a piercing critique of the final report
of the 9/11 Commission. Calling his critique The
9/11 Commission Report: Omissions & Distortions, he shows that the
Commission’s report, while presenting itself as an impartial investigation
into the facts surrounding 9/11, in reality simply defends the official account,
ignoring or else distorting all the facts suggestive of governmental complicity.
In numerous radio interviews around the country and the world, Dr. Griffin is
helping to mobilize large numbers to demand a real investigation into what happened
on that fateful day. For more information about Professor Griffin's 9/11 work, click here.

landmark book exposes a major cover-up of government mind control programs

government mind control
documents, Carol speaks from personal experience as a survivor of these
secret programs.
A Nation Betrayed tells the true story of secret Cold War experiments
performed on children and other unsuspecting citizens. Through both extensive
