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.

  • youngpro

    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.

    I'm sick of too many people in this world just believing the BS we're being fed by Gov't, Media, etc, more people NEED to wake the hell up.

    This video is almost 2hrs long, but i suggest EVERYONE watch it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAaQNACwaLw

    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.





  • ClaytonMoore

    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!

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

    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).

  • 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!

    Many senior veterans of the U.S. Intelligence Services also do not believe the official account of 9/11.



    - William Christison, Former Director of Regional and Political Analysis, CIA, "The North and South Towers of the World Trade Center almost certainly did not collapse and fall to earth because hijacked aircraft hit them. A plane did not hit Building 7 of the Center, which also collapsed. All three were most probably destroyed by controlled demolition charges placed in the buildings before 9/11."



    - Maj. Gen. Albert Stubblebine, Former Commanding General US Army Intelligence, "They didn't fall down because airplanes hit them. They fell down because of explosives went off inside. Demolition."



    - Terrell Arnold, Former Deputy Director of Counter-terrorism, US State Dept., "I'm not satisfied by the notion that planes hitting buildings constructed as these would have caused them to collapse. The last building to fall was not even attacked. ... The chances of two buildings of that height and structure merely collapsing in their own footprint are extremely slim."



    - Ray McGovern, Former Chairman, National Intelligence Estimates, "I think at simplest terms, there’s a cover-up. The 9/11 report is a joke." (NIEs are the consensus report of all US Intelligence Services and according to the CIA "are the Intelligence Community’s most authoritative written judgments on national security issues.")

    Now the 9/11 conspiracy morons have another kook to add to their side. And what a kook he is. He'll fit right in.

  • Kymus

    I was not aware that Robert Steele and Ray McGovern were kooks.

  • Think2wice

    Look loyal citizens of Iran. Look how your divinely legitimate leader has attracted the attention of the West in the midst of Mossadgate, earthquakes, the Marjah offensive, Iraqi elections, healthcare, and the awards season. Isn't this better than having to tackle with Iran's lousy economy, high unemployment, and oppression.

  • What a dick. We all know it was a real tragedy...that was used as a pretext for a war against terror & an invasion of...wait did he say Afghanistan? The one place we invaded that made SENSE? That guy is nuts.

  • youngpro

    yeah, 'Ahmadenijad Thinks 9/11 Is A "Big Lie"' says the Israeli interpreter.

  • Kymus

    Invading Afghanistan doesn't make much sense, really. Most of the hijackers were from Saudi Arabia, and the funding came from Saudi Arabia. If you're refering to going after Bin Laden and that is the reason going into Afghanistan makes sense, then maybe you should be aware that the FBI has clearly stated that there's not enough evidence to blame him for 9/11?

    Most of those listed Krymus who 'doubt' the 'official' story are like Ret. Gen Wes Clark who think that we haven't been told all of the embarrassing f-ups that the Rice-Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld brain trust had made in underestimating Al Qaeda in the months leading up to 9/11. This does not mean they believe it was some tin-foil hat theory about demolitions or that the hijackers were in fact CIA agents. These conspiracies are the fantasies of knee jerk doubters of ANY official answer. "The official story says Japan bombed Pearl Harbor...but We ALL KNOW the REAL story, right?" 9/11 'truthers' have this in common with Obama 'birthers', Faked Moon Landing-ers, and John Birch Society 'flouridation haters'...they long to unlock the secret that will make our scary, random, messy world make more sense. Unfortunately these conspiracy nuts aren't the lunatic fringe in some parts of the world. It's the duty of all of us to make sure their theories are listened to and debunked at every opportunity. Sure it's tiresome, but things like Loose Change (that no doubt find fans in Iran) need to be rebutted. http://screwloosechange.blogspot.com/

  • Kymus

    So if one thinks that ingesting fluoride is bad, that makes them a tin foil hat nutter? That's... an interesting twist of reality..

    Wow, are you seriously affirming the consequent here? And promoting that such philosophy? Wow.. I guess you're right, conspiracies never happen, right?

    ROFLMAO! Screw Loose Change is a pathetic straw man against an already flimsy film. The site engages in a number of fallacies, really.

  • Troy

    This article sums up the attraction between 9/11 conspiracy nutters and their Iranian ally quite well. The fact is 9/11 WAS a conspiracy. But it did not involve the CIA, FBI, NYC police and fire departments and thousands of demolition experts in order to...what? Make Bush own all the oil in Iraq? I never figured out the key 'who benefits?' question. I mean, did Cheney get richer from the mess in Iraq? No. The guy is old and unemployable. It's a mess. Afghanistan? That's an even bigger mess. If there really was a Bush Cheney plot to get oil, why not invade Saudi Arabia and get the EASY oil? We could have pinned it on them...after all, the hijackers were mostly Saudis. No. Do really think Bush and Cheney and the gang were smart enough to fake all this? That's the biggest laugh of all.

    You're theorizing.



    Do really think Bush and Cheney and the gang were smart enough to fake all this? That's the biggest laugh of all.



    Is the Bush Administration Too Incompetent to Have Carried Out 9/11?

  • jpeditor

    Hey genius, I just want to get something straight:



    "after all, the hijackers were mostly Saudis. No.



    You're theorizing."



    Thats the formatting I see. With your freshman psoph / semiotics glib talk, are you saying the 9/11 hijackers were NOT MOSTLY Saudis?

    You'll notice that one part is in italics, and the other is not. If you read the comment I was replying to, you would see that I was quoting for context.

  • BDS=(Boycott.Divest.Sanction)

    no one is saying 911 was fake, they're saying it was used



    'a pretext for the campaign against terrorism and a prelude for staging an invasion against Afghanistan'



    The Cost of War in Iraq & Afghanistan = $968,908,072,915



    If the goverment spent it, someone made that money. Its not conspiracy to think people have pushed for war for their own benifit.



    There have been war profitters behind nearly every war in history. Why do you think we're being pushed into war with Iran? do you think it has anything to do with our peace, with our security? Iran who has never attacked their neighbor. Iran who has NO weapons to attack us with. Think for yourself. stop believing everything you're told.

  • BDS=(Boycott.Divest.Sanction)

    for the record here's one company that makes money from war

    they get billion dollar contratcs from the govt

    and all their executives are connected people from the political class.

  • bigmikebrooklyn

    naw, Halliburton didn't make a nickle off of the logistics of the invasion and occupation of iraq. In fact they donated hard earned money out of their own pocket to the war orphans. I even saw grampy Dick whittlin' a prothetic leg for some lucky young Iraqi lad.

    I'm not wearing any tinfoil hat, but Get real.



    Also, Why the fuck would Dick Cheney need a job?

  • Kymus

    9/11 aided Bush's entire tenure. The war overseas benefited The Bush Administration through both relations with previous companies and financial interests in them. The US was able to build military bases in the middle east and continue the long tradition of deposing of foreign leaders that didn't jump when we told them and replacing them with US-friendly puppets. 9/11 has become the singular excuse for the state to strip (albeit unlawfully) the Bill of Rights of its powers and essentially form a control grid around the populace. Such control is certainly something that most governments inherently desire.

  • ClaytonMoore

    Much of the 9/11 event is a stretch of calamities and coincidences. I don't believe that calamities come in multiples of more than one. But, there is the coincidence of human life. Then I consider the lack of protection of the Pentagon, the DC area, and all the bets are off.

  • justthinkin

    You mean the planes weren't aiming for the grassy knoll? Thanks for a cogent argument Troy.

    The fact that he's kept the US and Israel from invading Iran proves he's a genius. And he's only saying what many of us think, but no public official in the US has the balls to say.

  • Helen Thomas knows the score

    welcome back Jen. it'd be nice if took you didn't just repeat propaganda news and aid to the drum beat for war with iran.



    after 9/11 60K soccer fans in Iran observed a minute's silence to honor the victims of the terror attacks in the United States.



    this is the comment from then President Mohammad Khatami

    the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks "were perpetrated by a cult of fanatics who ... could only communicate with perceived opponents through carnage and devastation,"



    in 2007 when Ahmadinejad (you spelled it wrong) tried to lay a WREATH at the WTC everybody had a fit and wouldnt let him.



    and which point he said

    "Many innocent people were killed there. Some of those people were American citizens, obviously," Ahmadinejad said.



    "We obviously are very much against any terrorist action and any killing. And also we are very much against any plots to sow the seeds of discord among nations. Usually, you go to these sites to pay your respects. And also to perhaps to air your views about the root causes of such incidents."



    Pelley told him the American people believed his country exported terrorism and would be offended if he had a "photo op" at Ground Zero.



    "Well, I'm amazed. How can you speak for the whole of the American nation?" the wily leader countered. "You are representing a media and you're a reporter. The American nation is made up of 300 million people. There are different points of view over there."

You're telling me that people were actually recruited to do this in some manner, that not one person is willing to come forward and say "I participated in this government conspiracy and I'm coming forward because I can't stand not having the truth known." ?? That out of those possible hundreds that say maybe one of them might have an inoperable cancer or some other disease and knows that death is coming soon and wants to salve his or her conscience?

  • Kymus

    you're telling me that an operation that would have needed I don't how many hundreds of people wouldn't have a leak?





    Take a look sometime at all the number of clandestine operations the US has been involved in. The Manhattan Project involved 130,000 people.





    You're telling me that people were actually recruited to do this in some manner, that not one person is willing to come forward and say "I participated in this government conspiracy and I'm coming forward because I can't stand not having the truth known." ??





    Firstly, you're using conjecture and theory to hypothesize the likelihood of an event. That's no better than any "conspiracy theory".



    Secondly, if you wish to theorize of the likelihood as to why no one came forward, a few possibilities come to mind: the individuals involved in the conspiracy directly profited from it, they had no moral conscience to begin with, it involved compartmentalization and as such everyone involved was removed from the grand conspiracy, or perhaps some who were involved were threatened with who-knows-what to not come forward.





    That out of those possible hundreds that say maybe one of them might have an inoperable cancer or some other disease and knows that death is coming soon and wants to salve his or her conscience?





    See point #1 above.





    If so then you really need to look at yourselves in the mirror and say the words out loud. Take a good long look.

    You believe that hundreds if not thousands of clandestine U.S. workers (and not one of them ever spilled the beans) drilled thousands of holes and ran miles of cables throughout BOTH buildings (oh wait, no wires, HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF RF receivers on the explosives!)



    and that YES, BushCo / Joos set the explosives off after their Saudi employees flew the planes into the towers.



    If it weren't so laughable, if I didn't lose an acquaintance, I might snicker and almost feel sorry that you have blown out so many of your brain cells smoking so much dope.



    But the fact is that your delusions and your lies (and yes, I include the AHOLES with background you use to vouch) your and their lies give aid to scum like Machmouud Amashitbag who are destroying their own country and trying to control the entire persian gulf and infect American policy.

    never mind that Iran's Jewish community of about 25,000 people is protected by the country's constitution and remains the largest in the Muslim Middle East.

    if you care about the truth. read the facts, and then ask yourself WHY does the media constantly misrepresent them. Why?

    In another IRNA-dispatch (2005-12-14) the Arabian author Ghazi Abu Daqa writes about Ahmadinejad: "The Iranian president has nothing against the followers of Judaism [...] Ahmadinejad is against Zionism as well as its expansionist and occupying policy. That is why he managed to declare to the world with courage that there is no place for the Zionist regime in the world civilized community."

  • One of the few things he's said that I can agree with.

    Correct. And this headline is misleading bullshit. He didn't say it was a "lie". He said complicated intelligence scenario and act" and "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".



    Sounds like an intelligent assessment to me. Unlike your dumbass title assessing your article.

  • The title is fine.



    The definition of fabricate means to fake or forge, both forms of lying.

What he said (Or rather meant) Was That said CIRCUMSTANCES following the ATTACK Upon The Trade Towers Were in-fact a rouse, Or an Elaborate, CONVENIENT, COVER EXCUSE To Incite A War with, AND In the Process "JACK" (OR If You Prefer Pilfer) said nations of there Natural Resources . That's what the guy with all them weird letter configurations meant .

  • thewildpansy

    No, you fucking idiot - the title makes it seem like he is saying the act was a lie - that is never occurred. When instead it is an intelligent assessment - the use of the word fabricate is not as you say.
