Wheres the Birth Certificate? Main article: Wheres the Birth Certificate? Corsi wrote Wheres the Birth Certificate?, a book that questions Obamas American citizenship. Prior to its May 2011 release, the book enjoyed a buzz-building teaser article in the heavily trafficked Drudge Report website, but Obama released his long-form birth certificate three weeks before the book was published. Shortly after the books publication, Esquire issued a satirical report that the book had been recalled,[79] which prompted Corsi to sue Esquire for damages of over $285 million.[80] The lawsuit was tossed out in U.S. District Court in a decision stating that satire is protected by the First Amendment and noting Having become such well-known proponents of one position on the issue, plaintiffs cannot complain that the very intensity of their advocacy also became part of the public debate. Those who speak with loud voices cannot be surprised if they become part of the story.[81][82] North American Union conspiracy theories Corsi claimed that President Bush is pursuing a globalist agenda to create a North American Union a theoretical continental union of Canada, Mexico and the United States, that will supplant the United States.[83] In 2007 he predicted a new unit of currency, called the Amero, which would replace the Dollar for this union within 10 years.[84] The Union is a theme in two of his books The Late Great U.S.A.: The Coming Merger With Mexico and Canada[29][85] (2007) and Minutemen: The Battle to Secure Americas Borders (2006) as he explained on The Conservative Caucuss TV show.[26] On December 15, 2006 Corsi reported for the first time he had found a major intellectual leader behind the push to integrate North America suggesting that a crisis of 9-11 proportions might be just what was needed to advance the process toward establishing a North American Union and the Amero.[86] In 2007 he claimed a North American Union drivers license was created[87] and that the U.S. State Department was in talks to move toward a transatlantic union.[88] That same year he claimed, Virgil Goode, R-Va., has introduced a House of Representatives resolution expressing congressional opposition to construction of a NAFTA superhighway or entry into a North American Union with Mexico and Canada.[89] The validity of those claims was criticized in Newsweek and the author noted: Corsi offered a warning: President Bushs supposed determination to force North American integration, he told the audience, could cost the GOP the 2008 presidential election. Corsi may have a conspiratorial bent. But he sure knows how to spin stories that shake up an election – and at least one candidate seems happy to help him.[90] John Hawkins, a fellow writer for Human Events, responded: Yesterday, Jerome Corsi was prattling on about the North American Union again after Michael Medved deservedly spanked him for spreading conspiracy theories. While I dont think Corsi is any more worthy of being taken seriously than those who think Jews rule the world or the Truthers who think President Bush is responsible for 9/11, I thought I would respond to him one last time.[91] John Hawkins listed Corsi as number three on his list of The Most Annoying People on the Right, and wrote: Nobody has worked harder to convince people that the completely moronic North American conspiracy theory is real than the rights version of Dylan Avery, kooky Jerome Corsi.[92] Additionally, conservative Hugh Hewitt said Corsi is from the fringe.[93] In October 2009, his book America for Sale: Fighting the New World Order, Surviving a Global Depression, and Preserving USA Sovereignty was published, which alleges the globalists plan to put America up for sale, from its financial services firms to public infrastructure such as highways and airports.[94] To promote the book, he appeared on Sean Hannitys show on Fox News and then discussed the issue on Coast to Coast with George Noory.[94] 9/11 conspiracy theory Main article: 9/11 conspiracy theories According to Corsi, A video clip widely circulated on the Internet shows a test that pulverized an F-4 fighter on impact with a hardened target, providing evidence to answer 9/11 skeptics who question why so little identifiable airplane debris remained after the hijacked American Airlines Boeing 757 hit the Pentagon.[95] Audio and a YouTube video were circulated, especially among those questioning Corsis credibility, of Corsis January 29, 2008 interview on conspiracy theorist Alex Jones radio show.[96][97][98] In the interview Corsi discusses the findings of Steven Jones, physicist and hero of the 9/11 Truth movement who claims to have evidence that the World Trade Center towers collapsed due to explosives inside the building, not just the planes hitting them, during the attacks.[96] Corsi cites Jones findings of microscopic forensic evidence which seemingly negates the U.S. government hypothesis that the aircrafts jet fuel fed heat, alone, was sufficiently hot to collapse the steel superstructure of the buildings. Hunting Hitler Corsi released his book Hunting Hitler: New Scientific Evidence That Hitler Escaped Nazi Germany on January 2, 2014. According to the publishers description, the book explores claims made in 2009 by three U.S. professors who believe Adolf Hitler did not die in 1945 and instead escaped Berlin.[99] In an interview with Newsmax TV on January 20, 2014, Corsi said of the Nazi leaders alleged escape discussed in the book: Hitler was removed from the bunker by a helicopter, flown from Austria to Spain, and put on a submarine, the U-530, and brought across the ocean to Argentina.[100]
