Former Governor of Minnesota, ex-Navy SEAL and retired pro-wrestler
Jesse Ventura raised some important unanswered questions regarding
the 9/11 attacks in an interview with Larry King on CNN last
night.
Ventura spoke about and gave a sneak peak of his new Tru TV
show, Conspiracy Theory, set to air Wednesday night.
Footage from the 9/11 based episode showed Ventura attempting
to gain access to the infamous hanger 17 at Kennedy International
Airport where debris from the World Trade Center is kept away
from public scrutiny.
"The 9/11 conspiracy is simply that the government hasn't
been truthful with us." Ventura stated.
"I mean, Larry, a couple weeks ago, the head of the 9/11
Commission legal, I believe former attorney general Farmer from
New Jersey, came out publicly and stated unequivocally that
at some point the government decided that the American citizens
would not hear the truth about 9/11. I find that very disturbing."
he continued.
"I find it very difficult that those buildings could fall
at the speed of gravity without being assisted in some way.
And I used to do demolition for a living. And how could those
buildings fall as fast as I used to freefall out of an airplane?"
"If you took a billiard ball and dropped it the height
of the twin towers and you just merely stopped it and started
it every floor in freefall, it would take over a minute and
a half to reach the ground. The buildings were down in ten seconds."
"So you think there was something on the inside."
King replied.
"Here is the big point I make on 9/11," Ventura asserted.
"Why is it off limits to talk about it? Why is it off
limits to question and ask questions? You know when I went through
Navy SEAL training I was taught in demolition that there is
no dumb question, that if you don't understand it then it is
not dumb. That's how I have lived my life and I have a lot of
questions that the government refuses to answer."
King also asked Ventura his opinion on the troop escalation
in Afghanistan:
"It angers me because it reminds me a great deal of Vietnam."
Ventura answered.
"I mean, the Russians couldn't beat them, the English
couldn't beat them over there. You are not going to get a military
solution in my opinion in Afghanistan. It's impossible, yet
we're just like in Vietnam, are we propping up a phony government,
like we did in Vietnam?"
"Remember, the United States blocked free elections in
Vietnam. Had there been elections in Vietnam, Ho Chi Min would
have won in a landslide. Well is this the same thing going on?"
"I would pull out of Afghanistan and I would pull out
of Iraq and I would bring our boys home. It is our job to protect
their safety, and not be sending them off to wars. What are
we accomplishing there? I look at it from a personal point of
view. I don't see how these two wars have helped Jesse Ventura
or the USA one bit, other than to drain our economy." Ventura
fumed.
