(Terrorism for Morons): As his lecture subtitle shows, John Loftus knows how to inject humor into his lectures which leaves the audience laughing and inspired at the end. John Loftus has an encyclopedic knowledge of the Top Secret history of terrorism including current Islamic attempts to obtain atomic, biologic, and chemical weapons. Surprisingly, Loftus says that the worst attacks are almost over, and that terror weapons such as Anthrax really do not work well in the real world. He believes that we may be witnessing the death throes of the fundamentalist terror states, and the birth of a renaissance of modernity in the Middle East. His inspiring and insightful explanations bring comfort and clarity to all.

Biography

John J. Loftus is a former Army Officer, former Federal Prosecutor and noted historian. He is one of the few who once held some of the highest security clearances in the world, with special access to NATO Cosmic, CIA codeword, and Top Secret Nuclear files. As a private attorney, he works without charge to help hundreds of intelligence agents obtain lawful permission to declassify and publish the hidden secrets of our times. He is the author of seven books, two of which were international best sellers and one was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize.

His 60 Minutes expose of Nazi war criminals working for US intelligence won the 1982 Emmy Award for outstanding investigative journalism. Since then he has been a frequent intelligence contributor for network television including CNN, ABC, and Fox. Several of his books have been made into television movies.

Mr. Loftus’ most recent book, America’s Nazi Secret, reveals for the first time what the US Justice Department has been censoring from the view of the American people. He rips the lid off the US connection to the Muslim Brotherhood, Al Qaeda, and other Middle Eastern terrorist groups.

Mr. Loftus currently lives in St. Petersburg, Florida and writes a weekly intelligence column, Spyview, for Ami Magazine in New York. He is the President of the international Intelligence Summit, and is the past President (and first Irish Catholic President) of the Florida Holocaust Museum.
