Education

Ganser studied at the University of Basel, the University of Amsterdam and the London School of Economics, where he studied ancient and modern history, philosophy and English with a specialization in international relations. In 2000-2001 at the University of Basel he prepared and defended his doctoral thesis on Operation Gladio.

Career

He became known for his thesis NATO's Secret Armies: Operation GLADIO and Terrorism in Western Europe, published as a book in 2004.

From 2001 to 2003, Ganser was responsible for international relations and policy analysis at the Zurich-based think tank Avenir Suisse. He led their campaign for the Popular Initiative on Switzerland's accession to the UN. In 2003, he was a member of the Advisory Board of the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs for Civil Peacebuilding and Human Rights. From 2003 to 2006 he was a senior researcher at the Center for Security Studies (CSS) at ETH Zurich.

From 2005, Ganser started publicly questioning the official narrative around 911. At the center of his analysis was WTC 7 (Building 7 of the World Trade Center), a building that collapsed although it was not hit by any aircraft. For this, the then US Ambassador, Carol J. Urban criticized Ganser in Swiss newspapers.[1]

He was forced to leave ETH Zurich in 2006, and also had to leave the Universities of Zurich and Basel because of his research subjects. The dismissal from ETH was due to a direct intervention of the US ambassador in Bern, he said[2]

Albert Stahel, the emeritus ETH professor who investigated the 911 attacks together with Ganser, confirmed in an interview: "I was even told personally that there are questions that should not be asked in connection with 9/11. It was almost a kind of defamation campaign. They started defaming both of us on a broad front."[3]

Since Ganser's public appearance as a NATO critic in neutral Switzerland, negative reports in corporate media about him also increased.[4]

Swiss Policy Research described how:

The campaign against the uncomfortable historian reached its preliminary climax in February 2017, when Swiss television SRF tried to discredit Ganser by inserting a private and abridged e-mail in the political program "Arena".[5] However, this led to a record high number of spectator complaints and a complaint by the ombudsman's office.[6]

Nevertheless, the University of St. Gallen – where Ganser taught on the "History and future of Energy Systems" – was then put under pressure[7] by several media and persuaded to end his teaching assignment.[8] As a result, Ganser was removed from all Swiss universities.

Meanwhile, the editorial director of the SRF Tagesschau confirmed in a remarkable letter that the SRF had to adhere to the "official view of things" regarding 9/11 despite "many inconsistencies".[9][10]

Since 2017, Ganser has had success as a public lecturer and author.
