Carlson feels guilty because he was ‘part of the cover-up’
Who would have imagined just a few months ago that a sitting U.S. senator would become one of the most articulate and important voices for 9/11 truth. But that is just what has happened.
In addition to the ongoing efforts of former congressman Curt Weldon to get a presidential commission to reinvestigate 9/11, we now have Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson, who is openly calling for this “seminal” event to be re-examined.
Johnson appeared this week on The Tucker Carlson Show. The two-hour interview, posted on Carlson’s YouTube channel yesterday, focused on 9/11 for about 15 minutes (this section starts at about one hour and 32 minutes in). Not only does Johnson reinforce his determination to get at the truth about 9/11, but he also shows that he is intent on expanding his knowledge of the science of the World Trade Center destruction.
In doing so, he mentions Richard Gage, Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth, and Graeme MacQueen (who compiled data about how many first responders reported hearing explosions in the towers before they came down). And although he didn’t mention this by name, he has also clearly absorbed the conclusions of the University of Alaska Fairbanks study of Building 7, headed by Professor Leroy Hulsey. He demonstrated this when he emphasized that all the support columns in Building 7 had to have been removed at the same time for the building to fall as it did.
“There’s never been a steel-structure building that has collapsed because of fire,” Johnson stated. And to that, Carlson added: “Building 7 wasn’t hit by anything; it’s actually quite a distance from the other towers.”
Johnson dismissed attacks he has received from people like New York Congressman Mike Lawler and explained that he began to question 9/11 while chairing congressional hearings held in 2023 by the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, which is part of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, into the deal between the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund and the Professional Golfers' Association Tour.
Johnson said he was approached by 9/11 family members during the hearings about getting FBI documents on Saudi involvement in 9/11 unredacted.
“I got down this road because the 9/11 families want to know the answer. And once I start opening that inquiry, I start getting all kinds of information.”
As to why the U.S. government would lie about 9/11, Johnson said: “I can’t answer the question. All I can say is it raises my suspicion.” He added: “The government lies through their frickin’ teeth all the time, and it’s outrageous.”
Not only is this interview remarkable for the positions that Johnson is now taking, it’s also powerful that Carlson, who once ridiculed questions about 9/11, has also changed his tune. (A few weeks ago, he also interviewed Weldon.)
On the subject of why he is open to asking these questions now, Carlson made this incredible admission:
“Because I was part of the cover-up, and I feel guilty about it. That’s why. And I’m trying to atone for my previous sins. That’s the reason.”
