Hunter S. Thompson on 911

Hunter S. Thompson was one of the most interesting writers in the 20th century and looked at things from a unique angle. He often confronted controversies head-on when most men would stand down.

At the end of his life, he may have known he was in dangerous territory. H. S. Thompson cautiously discusses his views on 911 some time before his supposed Suicide in 2005. Thompson was writing a story about the World Trade Center attacks. He felt he had hard evidence to prove that the towers were brought down by controlled demolition.

“They’re gonna make it look like suicide…”

Reports of his suicide appear contradictory and peculiar, to say the least…

The day before his death:

Hunter telephoned me on Feb. 19, the night before his death. He sounded scared. It wasn’t always easy to understand what he said, particularly over the phone, he mumbled, yet when there was something he really wanted you to understand, you did.

He’d been working on a story about the World Trade Center attacks and had stumbled across what he felt was hard evidence showing the towers had been brought down not by the airplanes that flew into them but by explosive charges set off in their foundations. Now he thought someone was out to stop him publishing it: “They’re gonna make it look like suicide,” he said. “I know how these bastards think . . .”

    Fear and Loathing in Washington D.C. Hard to believe that so much obvious information about 911 and yet the Media continues to support the bullshit administration party line on 911. Wake up … sheesh.

    I loved Hunter S. Thompson. He was such a cool guy. I hate to see him go, especially if it happened the way the video suggests. Either way, he made a major impact on the world while he was here and was a hero to many and we’ll miss him.

    Ok, Everyone who thinks this murder please send me some of your drugs because they are better than mine…
    Juan (his son and a close friend) said it was suicide
    and he was there in the house at the time.
    This is backed up by Bob Braduas the sheriff and his
    and his deputies who did the clean up …. None of the people involved were NOT supprized by the act just the timing
    .
