Michel Collon

Michel Collon started his career in the Belgian weekly Solidaire. He continued his work independently by writing books, making films and an Internet newsletter broadcast to 40 000 subscribers. He is affiliated with the Workers Party of Belgium, and has organised a network of civil observers in Yugoslavia and in Iraq. He took part in the anti-imperialist conference Axis for Peace.[1]

Michel Collon denounced the misuse by Dalai Lama of a photograph that implied Chinese soldiers had dressed up as Buddhist monks and had provoked the 2008 Tibetan unrest.[2] According to the Los Angeles Times, this photograph was taken from the Michelle Yeoh film The Touch, which was filmed in Lhassa between 2001 & 2002.[3]

Michel Collon has sharply criticized the official version of the 9/11 terrorist attack and according to the Belgian journalist, the so-called " War on Terrorism " was unleashed by the United States for dominating the region. He prophecies "But sooner or later the difference between their declared and true goals will appear. And arrogance, dishonesty, aggressiveness everywhere will stir up more protest. The empire is entering a period of crisis".[4]

Michel Collon is well known for his negative attitude towards mainstream medias, that he describes as « promoters of media lies ». In 2015, he described the plot about the Charlie Hebdo shooting : "in reality, they were armed, militarily trained, indoctrinated by Mr. Fabius and his friends who sent for three years thousands, tens of thousands of Kouachi brothers, do even worse than Charlie, Syria and Libya".

Michel Collon describes plans to explain international military conflicts. In 2013, in an interview given to algeriepatriotique.com, he describe the war in Syria as a “recolonization plan of which Algeria is a part".

He built his reputation through the promotion of complotist and « red-brown » theories.[5][6][7][8]

Collon and his friends are also strong advocates of Eritrean dictator Isayas Afechercki.[9]

In 1985, jointly with Jean Verstappen, Collon established "Rencontres pour la Paix". They received several hundred thousands of Belgian Franks from Chechoslovak authorities for their communistic publications.[10]
