- 1. Star Wars: Reagan's Gigantic BluffNow viewing2016-09-18President Ronal Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative, or Star Wars, was a space-based missile defense system aimed at neutralizing the Soviet military threat. The Kremlin claimed that this would provoke certain nuclear war, but it Reagan's military deception ultimately contributed to the unravelling of the Soviet Union. It begins like a children's story, like the universal tale of the battle between Good and Evil. A gigantic farce, called Star Wars, that the former movie star, Ronald Reagan, President of the USA, set in motion to bring down his sworn enemy, the Soviet Union. The American president's last leading role was to benefit from an epic staging and setting, and would enshrine Reagan in history.
- 2. The Italian Conspiracy: The Years of Lead2016-09-2554mAssassinations, kidnappings, terrorism... In the midst of the Cold War, a "strategy of tension" blocked the way for the communists in a country that was strategically key for the United States. Corrupt secret services, rebel soldiers, dirty politicians, the mafia... an investigation into 12 years of manipulations in the Italian peninsula. What happened in the blood and shadows of the "years of lead"? From the end of the 1960s to the 1980s, Italy lived to the rhythm of social mobilizations but also massacres, assassinations and kidnappings. A dark era of extremism on both the right and the left, macabre connections and terrible suspicions of criminal complicity, at the initiative of certain sectors of the state apparatus (police, secret services) and foreign powers.
- 3. Iraq: A Veritable Imposture2016-10-0254mSaddam Hussein's arsenal of "weapons of mass destruction" was George W. Bush's main justification for waging war against Irak in 2003. After the invasion of the country, American leaders recognised that they had been mistaken, and that the Baghdad tyrant did not possess such a capability. Bush claimed it was an error and defended his good faith, denouncing the negligence of his secret services. The power vacuum created by this blunder directly led to the creation of ISIS.
- 4. Killing Gaddafi!2016-10-0954mHow a military campaign in Libya, for a time spearheaded by Sarkozy, Cameron and Obama, was in fact part of the strategy for regime change in the Arab-Muslim world, decided by the United States since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Revisits the lies that justified the outbreak of hostilities against Mouammar Gaddafi, with misleading arguments to cover up the decision. A look back at the lies that mobilized public opinion at the beginning of 2011 and that helped justify the outbreak of hostilities against Muammar Gaddafi. A military campaign that was in reality a link in the strategy for regime change in the Arab-Muslim world, decided by the United States since the terrorist attacks of September 2001.
