sorry no link.... but a good read!
Was Hunter S Thompson killed because he knew to much and people would belive him?
Hunter Thompson was working on WTC collapse story before mysterious sudden death, warned he'd be 'suicided'
Total 9/11 Info/Prison Planet | March 2 2005
Toronto Globe and Mail February 26, 2005:
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 . . ."
Hunter S. Thompson ... was indeed working on such a story.
Now check out this February 25 Associated Press story about Thompson's death. Sounds a lot like a professional hit with a silencer:
"I was on the phone with him, he set the receiver down and he did it. I heard the clicking of the gun," Anita Thompson told the Aspen Daily News in Friday's editions.
She said her husband had asked her to come home from a health club so they could work on his weekly ESPN column...
Thompson said she heard a loud, muffled noise, but didn't know what had happened. "I was waiting for him to get back on the phone," she said.
(Her account to Rocky Mountain News reporter Jeff Kass is slightly different: "I did not hear any bang," she told Kass. She added that Thompson's son, who was in the house at the time, believed that a book had fallen when he heard the shot, according to Kass' report.)
Mack White sums up the questions well:
Thompson's family says he was not depressed, nor was he in enough to pain to kill himself. In fact, by all reports, he was quite happy. He was talking on the phone to his wife, getting ready to work on his column, when he decided it would be wise to kill himself, so that he could go out (we are told) while "still at the top of his form," even though this would mean not finishing his column or his expose on 9/11 (potentially the most important thing he would ever write) (?)...
RELATED: Hunter S. Thompson Suicide Story Changes
This account says Thompson killed himself while sitting in a chair on his typewriter and yet the original account tells us that Thompson shot himself while talking to his wife on the phone in the kitchen. Why has the story changed andwhat is the significance of the word typed on the paper in light of the fact that Thompson said he would be 'suicided' before being able to release a major story on explosives bringing down the twin towers?
RELATED: Hunter S. Thompson thought 9/11 an inside job
Tuesday, February 22, 2005
Check out this clip of an August 2002 interview with the late Hunter S. Thompson, wherein he expounds on the likelihood 9/11 was an inside job.
Here's a partial transcript courtesy of Indybay.org:
Mick O'Regan: Could I take you back to September 11th. What I'd really like to know is your reactions. And I know you said you were writing a sports column for ESPN when the planes hit the towers, but could I get you to tell that story of when you found out about it and what you were doing and what your reaction was?
Hunter S. Thompson: I had in fact just finished a sports column for ESPN. Here it is: "It was just after dawn in Woody Creek, Colorado when the first plane hit the World Trade Center in New York City on Tuesday morning. And as usual I was writing about sports. But not for long. Football suddenly seemed irrelevant compared to the scenes of destruction and other devastation coming out of New York on TV."
Mick O'Regan: You went on to say in that article, which I have in front of me, that "even ESPN was broadcasting war news. It was the worst disaster in the history of the United States." Do you think that the event completely transformed the way in which Americans see themselves and their own vulnerability?
Hunter S. Thompson: No, the event by itself wouldn't have done that. But it was the way the Administration was able to use that event. Even use it as a springboard for everything they wanted to do. And that might tell you something. I remember when I was writing that column you sort of wonder when something like that happens, Well who stands to benefit? Who had the opportunity and the motive? You just kind of look at these basic things, and I don?t know if I want to go into this on worldwide radio here, but ...
Mick O'Regan: You may as well.
Hunter S. Thompson: All right. Well I saw that the US government was going to benefit, and the White House people, the republican administration to take the mind of the public off of the crashing economy. Now you want to keep in mind that every time a person named Bush gets into office, the nation goes into a drastic recession they call it.
Mick O'Regan: It seems a very long bow to me, but are you sort of suggesting that this worked in the favour of the Bush Administration?
Hunter S. Thompson: Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. And I have spent enough time on the inside of, well in the White House and you know, campaigns and I've known enough people who do these things, think this way, to know that the public version of the news or whatever event, is never really what happened
  Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

well, i never really believed that he commited suicide... don't know if he was depressed (i believe he wasn't, just look at his wife anita  ), but he surely was unhappy about the actual republican government!
i STRONGLY believe he was murdered, just like you said, i had also read that article ( http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/march2005/020305thompsonwarned.htm ), but i guess that people like michael moore would also be killed everytime they state against the Bush administration..
but you're right on one thing, i guess HST is not the suicidal kind of person (in the true sense of the word, of course)..

well i always found it hard to beleive he had killed himself, and while this does not prove a whole lot for those that don't live in the conspiracy camp; Hunter did write extensively about the 9/11 incident. At the end that does no validate in invalidate anything, but it makes a great read hearing the old owl talk about bush as the "fascist pig"
look it up > "Kingdom of Fear : Loathsome Secrets of a Star-Crossed Child in the Final Days of the American century" great read, most of it is recycled, but the new section he wrote in that book is gold.
i await further evidence on this matter anxiously  elementoftime.net

Just think for a second if its not just a conspiracy theory-the whole 9/11 thing i mean..it would be the downfall of the Bush administration and maybe of the whole system of the country. Then you reach the conclusion that "they" would do ANYTHING to prevent that from happening ...It just upsets me to think there's nothing we can do ,you know? we can only wait and see

Explosive charges set in the foundations? That's just so much bullshit. Anyone who has seen the buildings collapse would know that they started to collapse from the top.
If he said that he's going to be killed and they're going to make it look like a suicide, it's because he knew he was going to commit suicide. Maybe he didn't want people to think he'd taken "the easy way out", instead wanting to be remembered as the brave reporter who was about to crack a big case. Maybe it was just his last prank. Maybe he didn't say those things at all and someone's just making stuff up. Him being killed for his unrealistic and easily disproven theories seems the least likely scenario. |

Take a look at a video of a controlled demolition and say that again.

I think he commited suicide just to end his life. Not because he was particularly depressed or whatnot, he just decided that he had lived long enough and did what was to be done in a very Hunteresque fashion.

BS. Controlled demolitions start from the top because they set explosives all over the building, not just the foundation like Thompson is said to have said. |
