TRANSCRIPT:
Geraldo: Once a star student at San Jose State, 36 year old John Patrick Bedell, the man who opened fire in front of the Pentagon last week was a manic depressive pothead fascinated with conspiracy theories involving 9/11. We still don’t know why he shot two Pentagon guards before being shot and killed himself. But we do know a blog connected to him suggests that a criminal enterprise run out of the government could have staged the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. And that connection to the so-called 9/11 truthers is making their movement seem even more like a part of the lunatic fringe. But is that fair?
Geraldo: Joining Kimberley and me from Austin, Texas, the same town, incidentally where a tax protester recently crashed his plane into the IRS building is radio host and a leader of the ‘9/11 was an inside job’ movement, Alex Jones. Welcome.
Geraldo: The tea party people shook off that IRS plane crash incident after a couple of days. Do you think you’ll be similarly successful or will Bedell’s misdeeds stick to the 9/11 Truther people?
Alex Jones: Well, the plane crash guy had been a Democrat and was angry at the government, and this Bedell guy, look he had hundreds of different beliefs and some polls show half of Americans, 6 of the 10 9/11 commissioners question the official story. There’s a wide spectrum of different beliefs. Most people just question the official story, prior knowledge and other issues. But the bigger question is, why within one hour was national news reporting that the Pentagon shooter was a 9/11 truther? I mean, why is there such vitriol by the establishment against 9/11 truth? Right here I have ABC News U.S. Military wanted to provoke war with Cuba; U.S. military drafted plans to terrorize U.S. cities, stage terror attacks.
Alex: We know the Gulf of Tonkin was staged. So we know governments allow attacks to happen, we know that governments sometimes stage attacks. We know that the Underwear Bomber on Christmas day, the State Dept. admits they were ordered by U.S. Intelligence to let him on the plane, and helped him get on the plane. So, in a lot of cases they open the door. That’s what 9/11 truth is saying is that this is being used to demonize us. So we don’t know what the truth is about this guy. He was into marijuana…
Geraldo: Ok, let’s bring Kimberley into the discussion. The guy was into pot, he was a manic depressive, but is Alex over-reacting or is the 9/11 connection relevant?
Kimberley: Right. I think its an over-reacted, but also you’re making some serious allegations against the U.S. government saying that they stage attacks, they allow them to occur in the United States against U.S. citizens.
Alex: That’s declassified.
Kimberley: No. What evidence do you have to support any of that.
Geraldo: Well, Gulf of Tonkin is very well documented, but–
Alex: I mean, what are you talking about. Hold on. It’s in Army Field Manuals to stage false-flag attacks, declassified 2004. But separately, why, within 1 hour were scores of newspapers and TV,
Geraldo & Kimberley: Why?
Alex: Why within 1 hour of the shooting–
Kimberley: What’s the answer?
Alex: They were demonizing 9/11 truth. Why are they so scared about 9/11 truth? Why did they do that? Why within one hour did they bring 9/11 truth out? Why did they blame the plane crash with Joe Stack on the Tea Parties.
Geraldo: Alex, just back up a second and take a deep breath. Why would he attack the Pentagon? What aspect of his life what make him manifested with that kind of violence against the Defense Department establishment. Why? Why there. Why not the Health and Human Services Department?
Alex: Let me tell you. Here’s FOX News. His parents, two weeks before, warned the government, nothing was done. Same thing with the Fort Hood shooter, same thing with the Underwear Bomber. I mean, the guy was obviously a complete lunatic. Look at video of the guy. He looks like a nut from central casting. He obviously had millions of screws loose here, okay. Maybe he was a lone nut, maybe he is. The point is, within one hour, to try and demonize 9/11 truth. This stinks to high heaven. That’s what we cover at Infowars.com, Geraldo, and I’m glad you covered this.
Geraldo: Ok, Alex. We’ll continue to stay in touch. Kimberley, thank you, see you tomorrow night.
