9/11: Tag der Verschwörungen?
05.09.2008 um 15:50Governor Jesse Ventura Endorses Kevin Barrett for Congress
For Immediate Release - September 4, 2008
Former Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura has endorsed Dr. Kevin
Barrett's congressional candidacy in Wisconsin's 3rd Congressional
District, right across the Mississippi from Governor Ventura's home
in Minnesota. The endorsement came during an in-person conversation
before Governor Ventura's speech at Ron Paul's Rally for the Republic
Tuesday afternoon, and was re-affirmed by telephone Thursday morning.
Ventura, who won as a candidate independent of the two-party duopoly,
in 1998, applauded Barrett's decision to run as a third party
candidate, saying "I'd like to use the quote of the late, great Jerry
Garcia of the Grateful Dead. Jerry Garcia said once that if you're
made to pick the lesser of two evils, you're still picking evil,
aren't you?" Ventura said that non-major-party candidates can win:
"We're a majority! Thirty percent are Democrats, thirty percent are
Republicans, forty percent are us, yet we have no-one representing
us. Why not? It can be done. I proved it. I beat the two-party system
in Minnesota, and I hope Kevin Barrett will do the same thing in
Wisconsin."
Ventura said he liked Barrett's "New Libertarian" philosophy: "I'm a
libertarian with a small L. The Libertarian party...some of them are
anarchists! I remember getting booed at a Libertarian convention
because I supported the government being involved with
transportation. They booed me. I said, 'how did you get here?' If you
drive on a road, it was because the government is involved with
transportation. If they privatized the roads, there would be toll
booths every 500 feet!"
Ventura also endorsed Barrett's demand that the troops be brought
home immediately, and sympathized with Barrett's views on 9/11. The
former Minnesota Governor said that as a former Navy Seal trained in
demolitions, he does not believe the government's story that fire
brought down the three World Trade Center skyscrapers--only two of
which were hit by planes. Ventura questioned the nature of the
collapses, which went straight down at near-free-fall speed. "If they
really think that happened, they can test that by starting a fire in
a skyscraper and seeing if it suddenly collapses," Ventura said.
Jesse Ventura will appear on Kevin Barrett's Dynamic Duo radio show
on the eve of Barrett's primary election contest!
