Shocking: Ahmadenijad Thinks 9/11 Is A "Big Lie"

2009_09_mahmoud2.jpg Oh, that Mahmoud Ahmadenijad! The provocative, disbelieving Iranian leader is back in the news for some remarks he made to the Iranian Intelligence Ministry, calling the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center a "complicated intelligence scenario and act."

He also said, "The September 11 incident was a big fabrication as a pretext for the campaign against terrorism and a prelude for staging an invasion against Afghanistan." According to Reuters, "He did not elaborate." Ahmadejnijad has repeatedly brought up the attacks, once saying, they were "a result of mismanaging and inhumane managing of the world by the U.S."

When Ahmadenijad visited NYC in 2007, his request to visit Ground Zero was turned down. He later told an audience at Columbia University, "I wanted to speak with the press, the September 11 tragic event was a huge event. It led to a lot of other events after that. After 9/11, Afghanistan was occupied and then Iraq was occupied."

    Well which is it? GWB is an idiot, or did he master mind the entire 9/11 as a get rich quick scam for him, Dick and Rummy? If he is that sutpid, then how did he pull it off? The 911 truthers are a bunch of gullible nitwits.

    Troy is right, the world is a fast moving, dynamic spinning through space. To think that there is some guy, or hand full of guys behind a curtain somewhere pulling all the levers is crazy talk. Are there powerful people in the world than manipulate some things? Yes. But 9/11? No. It was done by Islamonazi's who hate the west. If it wasn't for the industrialize nations of the world who created a market for their oil, these clowns would still be chasing their goats around the desert.

    Stop making sense, you're giving the loons here a headache.

    instead of debunking Ahmadenijad, we shoud listen to him. and no, he's not against jews, just zionists, be they jews or not. he's basically saying what everyone else is scared to say and admit- that 9/11 was inside.

    So what if there are 9/11 whistleblowers? What if these whistleblowers come from every level of government and private industry, individuals who have even had their cases vindicated by internal government reports? As you are about to see, there are numerous such whistleblowers and each one is a thorn in the side of those who want to pretend that the 9/11 Commission represents the sum total of knowledge on the 9/11 attacks.

    That is precisely why these whistleblowers are not lauded by legislators or trumpeted by the media, but actively suppressed by government officials and the corporate media alike. These courageous insiders have been sidelined, gagged, hounded from their positions and ignored to the point where their stories are virtually unknown among the general public. And that is exactly why it is vital for the alternative media to make these stories known by bypassing the filters and control of the establishment media.



    In an effort to draw more attention to the critical issues and troubling questions raised by the testimony of these insiders, The Corbett Report has just released a documentary exploration of key government and corporate whistleblowers, including a discussion of whistleblower protection and what the public can do to facilitate a wider distribution and awareness of this information.

    sorry he is not a holocaust denier, he is another guy who says the holocaust is not the only thing thats wrong with the world and used to manipulate people, just like 911 is not a lie, it happened, but used to manipulate people into bigger problems. theres something wrong with the world and we keep falling for it.

    define denier, a denier is someone who denies the existance, a doubter is someone who says facts or conspiracies make you wonder about the bigger picture.

    is he a denier or a doubter.

    and yes thanks for the info which i would have posted also, theres alot of intelligent experienced people who are highly respected in their fields, who doubt the official story and circumstances. and this iran guy is just another kook, which the media plays up to cast a bad light on anyone who doesnt fall into line with the official lie. what next charles manson is a 911 conspiracist? sounds great, what about the fake fireman rapist, whats his take on all this? you might find a guy who eats meat and drives an SUV might have a theory about all this too.

    It's curious that the truthers want the truth and the government line people want to kill people.

  • jpeditor

    its curious that "truthers" lie and their lying EMPOWER WORSE GOVTS THAN OUR OWN.

    (come on, you know you want to say it:

    "But America really IS NO BETTER THAN THE IRANIAN DICTATORSHIP!")

    grow a pair, you stupid hypocrite. SAY IT!

  • Kymus

    Turn off Fox News. The talking points are seeping into your brain and you are regurgitating them as facts.

  • jpeditor

    Pull Ron Paul and Howard Zinn out of your ass and maybe you can think again.

    I don't watch Fox (TOO FAR LEFT / SHITBERTRIAN).

    Jerkwads like you who took a class in semiotics and get the rest of your knowledge from wiki make me laugh.

    Come the next big one you will be one of the crybabies begging your jihadis "allies" for your life.

  • Kymus

    So does making inflammatory statements from behind a computer somehow make you feel better about yourself?

  • jpeditor

    It's a blessed moment anytime we can expose some libertardian / paulistinian / useful idiot / ally of jihad / communism/drug using "truther" moron for the enemy they are to the United States.

  • Kymus

    I'm sorry jpeditor, you are absolutely right. From now on, I will consider myself a Neo-Conservative and read the works of Leon Trotsky and Leo Strauss. The public MUST be kept in fear of a shadowy and elusive enemy that can not be defeated. It's necessary for a stronger republic. Likewise, like any true Patriot, I promise to give the State the authority to nullify any or all of my God-given freedoms for the sake of a safer society as I understand it's only done in the name of fighting terrorism. I shall support unlimited spending on Defense and other measures because my Neo-Conservative leader was blessed by God himself to lead us through a righteous Christian crusade against evil. The only exception shall be when an evil Democrat (who is anointed by Lucifer) tries to do the same thing, then I shall fight it fiercely because at that point it becomes bad and I must fight a revolution against the state. I shall do my part in aiding God's holy work by reporting every person that does not share my Neo Conservative views to the FBI and insisting that they be water-boarded until they admit to having traitorous intent. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

    Of course it was a total fabrication. Why did bush/cheney insist on testifying together and no notes allowed?!? You think some dude in a cave had the power to schedule war games on the same day that all these "hijackings" unfolded? Grow up.

    Cheney went with Bush because he didn't want his underling isolated and possibly withering under pressure.
