Subject: 
Hunter S. Thompson 'suicided?'
There's a few stories on the net suggesting that Hunter didn't kill himself at all, but was popped off because he was working on two sensitive stories-
One was underage call boys in the Whitehouse
and the other was that the WTC didn't collapse due to the planes hitting it,but was detonated.
~~Paul William Roberts in his Globe and Mail article of Saturday, February 26, 2005 wrote the following:
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 . . ."

i'm not like purposely trying to bring intuition/dreams/etc to all these serious political threads, but there was one time when someone on the radio was talking about hunter s. thompson. i've read bits of his memoir/autobiography/whatever you want to call it "kingdom of fear" but nothing else. aj lent me fear and loathing in las vegas but i haven't even looked at it yet. so i'm just trying to establish that i have almost no background about this guy except the little bits i read in kingdom of fear, which were mostly EXCELLENT might i say. there's this great part about dealing with the fbi when he's like nine. it was great. that man does not hold back, and i love that.
anyway, so this one time after his death, and now i can't remember how soon after, someone mentioned it on the radio, and i suddenly had this flash like what if he didn't kill himself and was murdered and like someone forced him to shoot himself or something. it's hard to recapture now, but that flash thought was so vivid that i remember it all this time later. it was one of those instantaneous things, but i felt really sik inside, and really scared like what does this mean on a bigger scale? i really couldn't shake that awful feeling for like that whole weekend.
now that i'm saying this i really want to go back and read the rest of kingdom of fear. i think the fact that it wasn't totally linear sorta like threw me, like there wasn't an ongoing gripping story to follow, just isolated anecdotes, so there were lots of places i could jsut put the book down.
but you know, i don't know, that feeling or otherwise, if i buy this. i mean HOW MANY people are saying the same thing about the WTC? tons. there are documentaries about it, articles in magazines, 9/11 families who are pushing for investigation b/c they think the story was bogus, the whole 9/11 truth group, hell even eliot spitzer from nyc (think he's the state attn. gen. or something of that nature) was pushing for some investigation at some point, b/'c of those same families of victims. if the government went around offing anyone who was trying to investigate/prove this, there'd be a LOT more supposed suicides.
so my question is, following that theory, why hunter? what would be the logic in killing him as opposed to someone else?
unless his evidence was like "blow you out of the water" good.
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

I find it impossible to accept that the engineers who designed the WTC did not account for airplane strikes at high altitudes...considering that for a very long time, these were the two tallest structures in the world.
I also do not buy the line about the jet fuel melting the steel. Anyone with a bit of chemistry background can do the math quickly, the shit can only burn so hot in a non-controlled environment...and that's not hot enough to melt steel.
Then, there were the eyewitness reports...reports that I saw happening in real time on 9/11 in which reportes said that they heared a "series of explosions". All of those reports have been squashed in favor of the "official" story.
Sorry kids. The US government has had plans similar to this since the Cuban Missile Crisis. It was called Operation Northwoods. They were going to blow up a plane full of college kids and blame it on Cuba to gain support for war with Cuba in the 60's. This was a plan developed by our own government. The Freedom of Information Act is a beautiful thing.
But you know what? So is the Patriot Act. Theoretically, anyone who manages to somehow get to the bottom of what really happened, would automatically qualify as an "enemy of the USA" and be snatched up under cover of night by the kids in the black helicopters. The Patriot Act is an end-around to the Bill of Rights, and if the founders of this nation were alive today, they would have organized a revolution against any government who legislated the seizure of our inalienable rights under ANY circumstances.
The Patriot Act in essence, gives the US Government a free pass to silence any voice that becomes loud enough to make people question the official talking points for 9/11. What happened, and what we were told, are two entirely different things.

One last thing. The WTC was a crime scene. It was treated like a controlled demolition in the aftermath of 9/11. In fact, as those buildings imploded, I said to my boss, what are the odds of those buildings collapsing just like a controlled demolition?
We both worked for a comapny that did a lot of work with CDI. We've seen what happens when buildings are professionally brouht down. If the steel ruptured as the official report stated, the WTC would have peeled apart like a banana...with a similar path of travel for the structure...not imploded in on itself. But wait...let me guess...it was designed to implode in on itself in the event of airplane strikes that it should have been designed to sustain.
The Empire State building took a direct hit from an airplane...lo and behold...it still sands. Hmmm.
Must have something to do with good Irish labor ;)

yeah and they just fucking renewed it, those motherfuckers!
impeach them alllllllllll!
oh and i am with ya on 9/11, well i won't say i know anything for sure because i don't, but i think there are some real missing links in the traditional story. i would love to read the new pearl harbor, but haven't gotten around to it yet.
but why off hunter and not david ray griffin? just don't get why him, unless like i said, whatever he found was SUCH good proof, but then if it was, you'd think someone else would have found it also, by now.
i will say though, the mysterious and grisly deaths of microbiologists, now THAT's suspicious if ever anything was!

I agree there are more questions left unanswered than answered plausibly.
WWW.metacafe.com has a number of video clips on this subject that make for interesting viewing. Do a search on '9/11', 'world trade', 'sept 11' etc and you'll find them. There's one that clearly shows numerous systematic explosions out the side of the WTC as the building is coming down. It also goes into the Pentagon attack and explains why they plane they tell us crashed was not the one that actually did.
There is a history of these kind of theories - the government allowing or even organising catastrophes in order to rally public support for a military action - Pearl Harbour and Cuba just to name a few.
I certainly would never rule it out.

Maybe Hunter was a target because he is more high profile or because he's got more "street cred." I don't know. Or maybe it was simply suicide. (And Chrys, you should definitely read some of his stuff. I've only read Fear and Loathing and The Hell's Angels, but both were great).
And I also don't know if 9/11 was planned or allowed to happen or whathaveyou, but I do know that its occurrence brought about a series of events that have given this president unprecedented power and enabled him to garner the public support necessary to start an illegal war with a sovereign nation.
Also, I'm sure many of you heard about this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bush-Blair_memo
Another instance that it seems Bush (and Blair) were willing to let people be killed so they could gain public support to further their agenda, specifically the war in Iraq.

Re: Hunter S. Thompson 'suicided?' -- tg, 10:42:52 04/04/06 Tue [1]
Hunter killed himself.
Secondly, There are too many conspriracy theories.
I'm going to get this hour long tape about 911 that my hubby has and post it here. I told him not to bother sending it too me, because with every conspiracy and reasoning I'll find something to counter it with LOGIC so that's what I did and I never posted it here for that reason. Anyway I can tell others may like to watch it so I'll post it here. In it they talk about the jet fuel and they also say that the way the pentagonshole looked after an explosion looked more like bomb going through it than a plane. They also talked to many witnesses who said it sounded like a bomb, well everything loud sounds like a bomb. The short film makes it look like the US government had some involvement in the incident. I think the collapse of the WTC had dynamite planted in it and it wasn't just the jet fuel.
Yeah, we have one of the largest towers in the world too and after 911 it was shutdown for about 3 months.

Re: Hunter S. Thompson 'suicided?' -- Christian, 15:28:57 04/04/06 Tue [1]
I believe that it was a plane that crashed into the Pentagon - just not the one they would have us believe. There has been only one clip of the Pentagon crash leaked out into cyberspace (all other footage was scooped up pretty quick by the MIB) and it shows a small white plane, like a small private jet just before the explosion - not the big commercial passenger liner it was supposed to be.
Many eyewitnesses reported seeing/hearing what they thought was a 'rocket' in the seconds before the crash and others described it as a small jet that would have held maybe 12 people.
There was also another quite well put together short film that shows why it was very unlikley to be the plane they said it was - mainly due to the lack of any plane debri in the aftermath and the disparity in the size of the damage compared to what should have been there.
As the day was unfolding on 9/11 (and I'm sure many of you will think I'm playing with myself when I say this) I spoke to a mate of mine in the Australian Federal Police who told me that after the WTC was hit, there were two other hijacked planes that had been identified and shot down by US military. They later became the Pensylvania crash and the 2nd I believe was the plane that was supposed to have crashed into the Pentagon. (The same guy correctly told me what the outcome would be for the Bali 9 months before they were sentenced).
All food for thought...

No it's not an eye witness account. Don't people kill themselves? It's never the family or friends who bring the controversy it's always strangers.
if we are talikng about the man Hunter S Thompson, has anyone seen the two movies about him..........he was one paranoid MF and slightly stir crazy. His own wife and all his close friends including Johnny Depp have all said he has always talked about suicide. I think you can start a controversy about anything in the world, any story. It's all a point of view and interpretation. How many conspiracies have been founded?

~~~ The sound of a rocket....hmmm could be someones interrpretation of what it sounded like. I don't know I haven't heard too amny rockets.

My point is that you can't make statements like "Hunter killed himself" and expect that to be the end of the discussion.
I think it's most likely the case that he did kill himself, but it's not a certainty.

yes that's what i was trying to say too, it's uncertain, but i do think he did himself in, based on what little i know.
9/11 though, i think that is a much more complicated story. and i have alwasy thought the pentagon plane was the most suspect...

When I said he killed himself it was my belief. I personally don't think otherwise, you can go on believe that he may or may not have, I was only stating my opinion.
How come everytime someone famous kills themself it's a conspiracy? Marilyn Monroe, Kurt Cobain, Hunter now. The autopsies said otherwise.
I think 911 still needs to be figured out and investigated further. There was some belief that one of the planes(philly) was shot down by the airforce, but in the black box recordings from the passengers haven't showed any indication that ever happened. I don't know maybe someone hiding info.
I always thought that they did treat ground zero as a crime scene and it was some time later that they didn't. At first they were transferring all the debris to a different location to sort through. Anyway, that's the info I heard. I never once believed that the people who hijacked that plane were not in fact terrorists and they planned the entire thing. The fact that the got away withit, and no-one ever suspected it either, but in hindsight.
The Air India crash that was also caused by terrorism happened and later there were all these signs but, no-one paid attention. It happens, there are evil people in the world.

Another thing, even if we all trusted the government and we trusted the invesitagation into 911, wouldn't there still be unanswered questions? Wouldn't we still wonder what happened and we would still have conspiracy theories.All the news reports and people making short films about it and such, makes for more disbelief.
No wonder the victims families have all these questions and mis trust in the investigation. I think it just adds to their grief and their "why did this happen". There is something about accepting situations
at face value for closure.
I'm just going to let Oliver Stone figure it out.

Re: Hunter S. Thompson 'suicided?' -- amadaun, 19:51:50 04/04/06 Tue [1]
Anita Thompson's account ~~
"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) (?)...
OK, so if you are going to kill yourself, would you do it whilst talking on the phone to your wife, and while your son,his wife and your grandson were in the house too?

http://www.sianews.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=48
At the above link is an article by an NSA trained Electronic warfare specialist. He says the planes that hit the WTC had exceeded their software capabilities, and could not have been flown by pilots, but rather were remote controlled, as this is the only way that the software perimeters could be breached.
~~The plane that hit the Pentagon approached or reached its actual physical limits, military personnel have calculated that the Pentagon plane pulled between five and seven g's in its final turn.
~~They are intelligent planes, and have software limits pre set so that pilot error cannot cause passenger injury. Though they are physically capable of high g maneuvers, the software in their flight control systems prevents high g maneuvers from being performed via the cockpit controls. They are limited to approximately 1.5 g's, I repeat, one and one half g's. This is so that a pilot mistake cannot end up breaking grandma's neck.~~
He also says that the phone calls from the planes were faked as a cell phone cannot make contact with a tower when a plane is travelling at 500 miles per hour.
The plot sickens..............

Re: plane? hits pentagon -- amadaun, 20:35:27 04/04/06 Tue [1]
Whatever hit the pentagon on that day, it apparently wasn't a plane.
There is no video footage in the public domain which shows a plane. This includes a Citgo gas station, parking lot and Hotel video cameras. Over thirty video tapes, and none of them showed a plane.
FBI has confiscated video recordings from three locations.
High uranium readings were picked up after the hit, which is apparently consistent with a missile hit.
No aircraft debris were found. The pattern of damage does not suggest it was made by an aircraft.
How deep does the rabbit hole go.............

Yet more. Ok, I'm going to shut up after this.
http://www.rense.com/general70/hole.htm
This is about a large hole in the wall of the Pentagon, perfectly round, know as the Pentagon Exit Hole.
There's tons of pix and info.
And I learnt what Rapid Wall Breaching Kit is.
..........for the military to gain quick exit/entrance to a structure. It is a circular explosive mechanism that attaches to a wall and creates a specific directional blast.
Conspiracy theorists .......enjoy.

I would argue that this is why america is currently being steamrolled into a theocratic oligarchy by its government - it's much easier to just accept situations at face value and continue on with our comfortable life than ask the difficult questions that might have life-changing answers.
And thanks for posting that stuff, amadaun.

Amadaun:I don't think anyone can understand why someone chooses to end their own life, they take that with them. There are many people who act perfectly normal and happy, but are suffering inside. It's called keeping face.
Twan: I wasn't talking about questioning the government I was talking about all these accusations of what happened on 911 contributes to the victims families grief.
From what I know the people who were suspected as the terrorist in 911, learned to fly planes, the planned on taking early flights when fuel tanks were completely full, they picked buildings that were easy targets, etc. There is eveidence that things went as planned and everything happened the way the terrorist wanted, to add all these conspiracies, only adds to more grief.
Remember the Oklamhoma City bombings, that went down according to as planned also. It could happen again.

p.s. I'm not trying to downplay all your important info Amadaun, I'm just not a very suspicious person. I think sometimes people look for things that are there but, are not really there. (if that makes sense) I think sometimes we look for answers to things we don't understand, like the suicide of Hunter S Thompson.
If someone I knew seemed happy and then suddenly blew their brains out, I would be thinking and going over all the things that went on prior, to try and figure out what happened.

Shit! exactly was I was going to say, except without the big words like 'theocratic' and 'oligarchy'!
It is so much easier to ignore evidence that points to there being a hidden agenda.
According to things I've read, these attacks are all to facilitate the 'nazification' of America. Control is so important in this scenario, and the Patriot acts and other legislation enable this to take place, and with the blessing of the population.
After all, it's for your own good- we're protecting you ~they say!!
Have you heard about the Deborah Davis case, Twan?
In Sept 2005 she was on a public bus, when a security guard demanded that everybody show their ID!She declined, and was arrested and charged with federal criminal misdemeanours. Unreal.

Re: Hunter S. Thompson 'suicided?' -- amadaun, 21:19:55 04/05/06 Wed [1]
Taurus.......if I had people involved with 9/11, I would want to know the whole story.
~~From what I know the people who were suspected as the terrorist in 911, learned to fly planes, the planned on taking early flights when fuel tanks were completely full, they picked buildings that were easy targets, etc~~
Sure, this is what we are lead to believe happened. But it all unravels when examined by experts.
The arabs who supposedly flew the planes, learned in Cessna's [tiny planes] and flight simulators, right?They could have done this anywhere in the world, but they chose to blow their cover by doing it in Florida. Doh!
Regardless of that, they managed to fly a huge Boeing jet skillfully into a target. If you read my post above, an expert says that the way the planes were flown at the target is impossible, due to the G forces.
Of course, before any of this can happen, the four planes had to be hijacked by the arabs. Hijacking without alerting the ground control is not that easy. All the pilot has to do, is punch in a four digit code to alert them. But none of the pilots on the four planes managed to do this. Luckly break, huh?
And there is no evidence that any arabs were ever on the planes as they used false ID's to board. But strangely enough, then, their passports were found at the crash site. Not even incinerated. And they helfpully left flight manuals in their cars so we could find them. So they must have been there.
Next problem, is when the planes hit the towers of the WTC they exploded and vapourised into nothing. Unfortunately, this only happens in tv movies. Planes have crashed into buildings before, and nosedived into the ground, and they don't vapourise.
This suggests explosives were planted on the planes, and most likely in the buildings. Kerosene [jet fuel] can't burn a plane to nothing, and then burn a building until it collapses.
There are just so many holes in the story, you could fly a plane through them.

Amandaun, I too would want the truth if I had someone who died during 911, but I don't think all these conspiracies about it help in the investigation. Like I said there are too many. Just google "911 conspiracy theories" see how many there are. (atleast 50). So where do you find the truth? Are you even sure that your information that you are posting is accurate and factual? (!) or do you simply believe it. It's like conspiracy on top of conspiracy.
There are even people who believe Jim Morrison is alive and living somewhere and just wanted to vanish and not be famous anymore. They think this, because no-one identified his body. His family chose not too, because the disowned him years earlier and he died of an overdose and they didn't like that. So him being buried in an unmarked grave cause his conspiracy.
The Oklahomo City bombings wasn't a government conspiracy and it could happen again, because in America there are thousands of militant extremist. Timothy McViegh was executed and i don't believe he died for his country, but for his own personal vendetas.

Ditto.
How do you know the story on the news is the truth? You just assume it must be, because its on telly and in the papers.
Why don't you consider some of what is up above, before you write it off?

Totally off-topic, amadaun, but I have two friends who just got back from biking around your country for 7 weeks. My friend Shawn told me "it was absolutely amazing. There wasn't a single time in the whole 7 weeks that I wished I was anywhere else." Just thought you'd like to hear that.

What is on the local news station is not a conspiracy theory either. I think for the most part they try and give out what they know as factual information, not just what someone suggests as truth.
try that one.....
So I'm sure what some of us non believers should think is that 911 was all a government conspiracy to go to war. There are also huge cover ups, like it may have been a missile that went into the pentagon and not a plane. Yet there are all these victims. Or that they tried to have us believe that the terrorists were not in fact terrorists, because it was impossible for them to fly such a large plane, maybe they didn't maybe the actual pilots were forced to.

O and btw I do like recieving information and I do like to determine my own thoughts about situations, not what some guy on the news tells me.
I like this show The Fifth Estate, it's pretty good. They did a whole show about conspiracy theories about 911 recently. I read your stuff, please read mine.

Taurus, I looked at the link you provided, but this is after all, a doco aired by CBC,and seems to be devoted to painting the Saudi's as the bad guys.
The claims that the US intelligence turned a blind eye to the Saudi's activities because they have a 'relationship' with them is questionable.
The US gathers intelligence from everywhere, included supposed allied countries. To say that they just didn't believe that the Saudi's were up to no good seems simplistic to me.
The documentary doesn't question the basic physics of the whole debacle, which was what interested me. The question of the planes software, the cell phone calls, the disappearing plane, the collapsing towers, the ability of a amateur Cessna pilot to fly a huge jet accurately to a target.[If you were a newly licensed driver, does that mean you could get into a eighteen wheeler, drive it across town and parallel park it?]
Is it physically possible for things to have gone down as we are told? More and more, it seems it is not.

Twan, whereabouts did your friends go for their bike ride? North or South Island? Did they camp out? Its awesome for camping here, cause there's no beasties like bears, wildcats or wolves to get ya. No snakes or lizards and only one poisonous spider. Only inquisitive parrots to steal your tucker.
Hopefully they missed the shit weather we're getting at the moment ~ cyclones spinning off of Australia. Ended the nice long, fine, dry spell we've had since Christmas.
Maybe one day you and the missus [and the sprogg]will make it out here. Then you'll have to call in and see us.

They went to both islands. They camped about half the time and stayed in travel lodges (I think that's what they called them) about half the time. They're not back to Ohio yet (in the Southwest right now - they're going to go to the Grand Canyon before coming back home), but they called the other night and briefly told me how great the trip was.
I'd love to get down there eventually, but $$ is obviously a big issue. The only reason they were able to go is that Annie (the other friend) lost her brother in Iraq a year and a half ago and she used part of the death benefit to take this trip. Her brother always wanted to go to NZ, and she is trying to do a lot of the things that he's never going to be able to do.

Thats really sad :-(
But it's cool they had a good time in NZ,~ and going to the Grand Canyon; that would be incredible.
Hope they took lots of pix to show you.
