The President stays for 30 minutes, folks. For 30 minutes. Now how do you explain that? I’ve talked to all manner of Secret Service people and they say, We’re out of here is exactly the right reaction. Everyone knew where the President was.

Israeli firms are in charge of the security – the same firm that was in charge of the three airports that were involved in the 9/11 attacks. We all know that Israelis were caught photographing the attack on the World Trade Centre. They were arrested filming. The dancing Israelis. They went back to Israel. They’ve been on television in Israel admitting that they were there. And they said, Ah we’re just documenting the event. Documenting a surprise attack that nobody knew was happening? Yeah, that sort of documentation. Now that doesn’t mean that the Israelis did it on their own, but they are certainly major players in all of this. Martin Summer, On the Edge with Theo Chalmers & Tony Gosling

Thousands and thousands of people. David Aaronovitch, interview 9/11 Conspiracies

I’m taking five of them to America on an extraordinary journey to see if I can make them change their minds. 9/11 Conspiracy Road Trip, BBC 2011
Yes, this is all wonderful news. lt is time that the fucking US got their heads kicked in. It’s time to finish off the US once and for all. Everybody knows how you ... how you ... uh ... I was happy. I could not really believe what has happened. I just can’t be crying about the US, you know. All the crimes the US is committing all over the world.
