Press TV has conducted an interview with Anthony James Hall, a professor at the University of Lethbridge, Canada, about a demand made by George Fenech, a French legislator, who called for building a Guantanamo Bay-style prison for terror suspects in France.

The interview is a rough transcription of the interview.

Press TV: Is creating another Guantanamo Bay-style prison an effective way to protect France from these attacks?

Hall: Quite the opposite. It is a formula for sort of Israeli-controlled manipulation of the high level of politics in France. Of course, France’s real policy is to help ISIL (Daesh) in Syria and Iraq and to appear to be fighting ISIL within France. And the fraud of this whole construction, this whole engineered manipulation by proxy armies for the dominant world’s war machine in the use of the imagery of terrorism and the reality of engineering terrorism, false flag terrorism in many instances like we’ve seen in Nice, in Munich, in Orlando, in San Bernardino, the list is long. Paris is essentially important symbolic part of this psychological operation.

And of course a Guantanamo Bay-style installation off an island of France is a formula for torture. It’s a formula for putting on a spectacle of producing false evidence for your phony, concocted, engineered global war on terror. And its continuation in the French incarnation 15 years after the fraud of 9/11 has been allowed to proliferate and put at state policy the world over.

Press TV: What is the French government and intelligence apparatus set to gain from this?

Hall: First of all, this is coming right-wing of the French political spectrum, from Sarkozy’s party, from the Republican. So, it’s a criticism of the government for not doing enough to get tough on terrorism.

And of course, that means submitting to Israeli security firms, hardware firms, software firms which will be well placed to provide the overall infrastructure and the contacts and networks in the “war on terror” which is actually a war for greater Israel, for an expression of ... Israel, imperial Israel taking over the old Anglo-American empire.
