Thread by @gumby4christ

Starting a thread of prominent people who've questioned the official 9/11 narrative. Starting off with some global leaders/politicians before moving onto US officials, journalists, academics, etc. Feel free to drop examples below. (h/t @petercastagno_ for several of these.)

HUGO CHAVEZ: "The hypothesis that is gaining strength...is that it was the same U.S. imperial power that planned and carried out this terrible terrorist attack [9/11] or act against its own people and against citizens of all over the world." web.archive.org/web/2007063015…

NICOLAS MADURO: "It's really worrisome to think that all of that could have been a great conspiracy against humanity. An independent international investigation must be carried out one day to discover the truth about the events of Sept. 11." web.archive.org/web/2007063015…

MOHAMED MORSI: "When you come and tell me that the plane hit the tower like a knife in butter, then you are insulting us. How did the plane cut through the steel like this? Something must have happened from the inside. It’s impossible." foreignpolicy.com/2012/06/07/bro…

HOSNI MUBARAK: "I find it hard to believe that people who were learning to fly in Florida could, within a year and a half, fly large commercial airlines and hit with accuracy [the WTC] which would appear, to the pilot from the air, the size of a pencil." memri.org/reports/three-…

FIDEL CASTRO: "Only a projectile could have caused the geometrically round hole that allegedly was made by the plane. We were fooled like the rest of the planet’s inhabitants." reuters.com/article/us-sep…

Malaysian PM MAHATHIR MOHAMAD: "For some Americans, the deaths of nearly 3,000 people was not the scariest thing about 9/11. It was realizing who carried out the attack: yes, the American Government." tehrantimes.com/news/303707/9-…

Iranian President MAHMUD AHMADINEJAD: "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." rferl.org/a/Ahmadinejad_…

Italian PM FRANCESCO COSSIGA: "The disastrous attack has been planned and realized from the CIA American and the Mossad with the aid of the Zionist world in order to put under accusation the Arabic countries." corriere.it/politica/07_no…

Japan MP YUKIHISA FUJITA: "Last year I watched more videos and read books written by professor David Ray Griffin…Between the videos showing the way [WTC7] fell, and the numerous reports of explosions, many are convinced that this building was demolished." japantimes.co.jp/community/2008…

German Minister ANDREAS VON BULOW: "The planning of the attacks was technically and organizationally a master achievement.... This is unthinkable, without years-long support from secret apparatuses of the state and industry." ratical.org/ratville/CAH/V…

Italian Supreme Court President FERDINANDO IMPOSIMATO: "Several CIA leaders knew of the presence of terrorists in the US since January 2001...they did not inform the FBI."
affaritaliani.it/roma/imposimat…

British MP MICHAEL MEACHER: "[I]t is not surprising that some have seen the US failure to avert the 9/11 attacks as creating an invaluable pretext for attacking Afghanistan in a war that had clearly already been well planned in advance." theguardian.com/politics/2003/…

Canadian Defense Minister PAUL HELLYER: "[I]t's the same kind of thing as we saw with Pearl Harbor. Did the President know, or didn't he know? I don't know. But, it's a very good question." septembereleventh.org/alerts/hellyer…

Russian Defense Minister GEN. LEONID IVASHOV: "Only secret services and their current chiefs – or those retired but still having influence inside the state organizations – have the ability to plan, organize and conduct an operation of such magnitude." physics911.net/ivashov/

German secret services coordinator HORST EHMKE: "Terrorists could not have carried out such an operation with four hijacked planes without the support of a secret service." theguardian.com/world/2004/jul…

Egyptian FM MOHAMED HEIKAL: "Al-Qaida has been penetrated by [US] intelligence, Pakistani intelligence, Saudi intelligence, Egyptian intelligence. They could not have kept secret an operation that required such a degree of organisation and sophistication." theguardian.com/theguardian/20…

Pakistani President PERVEZ MUSHARRAF: "I didn't think it possible that Osama sitting up there in the mountains could do it. He was perhaps the sponsor, the financier, the motivating force. But...the planning was someone else." theguardian.com/world/2002/aug…

German central bank president ERNST WELTEKE: “What we found makes us sure that people connected to the terrorists must have been trying to profit from this tragedy.” (h/t @petercastagno_) washingtonpost.com/archive/politi…

Italian Defense Minister ANTONIO MARTINO: "I think there are terrorist states and organizations behind speculation on the international markets." historycommons.org/entity.jsp?ent…

Dutch MP JOEL VOORDEWIND: "Still wondering how the (twin) towers could collapse so fast and straight. Who knows how + by whom?" (h/t @holladie911)
