GOP Senator [Ron Johnsson - WI] Pushes Conspiracy Theory That 9/11 Was an Inside Job: ‘My Eyes Have Been Opened’
mediaite ^ | April 21 | Kipp Jones

Posted on 04/21/2025 7:09:49 PM PDT by RandFan

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) suggested Monday that the US government may have played a role in the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks during an interview with MAGA influencer Benny Johnson on The Benny Show.

The senator, who sits on the Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, questioned the official explanation for the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7 and echoed claims frequently raised by conspiracy theorists on the fringes of the internet.

“Within these agencies, a lot of them are going to cover their tracks and cover things up and destroy a lot of evidence,” the senator said. “It’s gonna be very frustrating for the American public because this is their information. They deserve the truth. It’s been hidden from them way too long.”

Sen. Johnson praised Benny Johnson for “opening up the aperture on 9/11” and referenced firefighters’ statements about the events of Sept. 11, 2001.

“I know you and I are both considered conspiracy theorists,” Johnson said, “but that’s exactly how they keep this stuff covered up.”

The two also discussed the possibility of Congressional hearings into the 9/11 attacks. When asked what he wanted to know, Sen. Johnson focused on Building 7 – which conspiracy theorists have claimed went down in a controlled demolition

“Start with Building 7,” he said. “I don’t know if you can find structural engineers other than the ones that had the corrupt investigation inside NIST that would say that thing didn’t come down in any other way than a controlled demolition.”

“questioning anything coming from “official sources” should be second nature”

It IS understandable, but it gets to a deranged level when people fall into denying reality.

There is a whole plane and plane load of dead people that definitively prove the Pentagon was hit with a plane, not a missile.

Building 7 fell because there was a fire that burned for hours, and the sprinkler system was destroyed by the falling towers. We watched it live - it was not controlled demolition.

Please do question official narratives, please don’t fall for crackpot conspiracy theories.

Firefighters talk about fire physics, building designs and explain why they continue to commit into high-rise fires without fear of sudden and complete building failure. The science of fire behavior and basic physics is used to show how normal office fires cannot create the same outcome observed in both a controlled demolition or the freefall collapse of World Trade Center Building-7.

Details include:
*A summary of the history of high-rise fires and their impact on the architecture involved
*The importance of understanding science rather than relying upon consensus opinion
The science of freefall and how this provides an irrefutable yardstick of truth
*The assessment of the rate of descent of WTC7
*An analysis of the real fires in WTC7 versus the theoretical fires proposed by NIST
*An analysis of the claim that WTC7 was left to burn due to poor firefighting water supplies
*A brief exposure of the certain foreknowledge held by NY City officials of the collapse of all three towers
*The decision of NIST to ignore the fundamental principle of scientific investigation known as ‘Occam’s Razor’
*A summary of NIST’s many omissions, errors and attempts to mislead the public
*A summary of the results of Alaska University’s 2019 evaluation of the collapse of WTC7 which identified that fires could NOT have been the cause of the collapse
*An appeal for support and justice from New York Fire Commissioner Christopher Gioia

The video of the missile hitting the Pentagon and being passed off as an airliner got me asking questions pretty early on.

There is no video of a missile hitting the Pentagon.

YouTube, 5/17/2006, Security video of plane hitting Pentagon released,, 00:02:56 minutes

From what I recall this security camera was programed to take images every 3-5 seconds.

Wasn’t Barbara Olson on the plane that Craig into the Pentagon? Her death wasn’t fake.

Correct. She was the wife of the current #4 at the DoJ, Solicitor General Ted Olson. And at the time preceding 9/11 she was a frequent guest commentator on the FNC.

Thanks. That’s not a video of a missile hitting the Pentagon.

I can't tell myself. But ... (1) Barbara Olson was a passenger on the plane that crashed into the Pentagon and (2) DoD Sec Donald Rumsfeld had a picture taken of a recovered piece of AA Flight 77 wreckage on his desk at the Pentagon.

So all the debris from the jet on the ground wasn’t enough for you? Nor the flight tracking satellite data that showed the plane’s flightpath into the building? Sometimes things are exactly as they appear.

Watched a documentary in school about demolition. Took them weeks to prep a building about the same size to come down just like that. Who knew all they had to do was chuck a hunk of aluminum aircraft wing at it?

“I don’t know if you can find structural engineers...that would say that thing didn’t come down in any other way than a controlled demolition.”

Then these so called engineers should talk to the company responsible for the controlled demolition of Detroit's Hudson building.

CDI’s 12 person loading crew took twenty-four days to place 4,118 separate charges in 1,100 locations on columns on nine levels of the complex. Over 36,000 ft of detonating cord and 4,512 non-electric delay elements were installed in CDI’s implosion initiation system, some to create the 36 primary implosion sequence and another 216 micro-delays to keep down the detonation overpressure from the 2,728 lb of explosives which would be detonated during the demolition.

So where is the actual airliner that was hijacked? It was tracked on radar all the way to the Pentagon. Do you know that?

It isn't normal conservatives, it is the kooky libertarians ( redundant ) that dominate here that cause embarrassment.

I have seen the domestic surveillance machine with my own eyes. They have developed tech nobody would believe, and their entire machine is designed to not miss things like the hijackers. Literally, right now, the entire country is broken up into sectors, and when people move from one to another it is noted, and their files are updated.

When those 9/11 hijackers arrived, they had no files, which would immediately have gotten them coverage like you would not think possible, to make up for lost time and get them files.

There is no way, with that kind of coverage assigned, they did not know what was coming. They knew, and allowed it at best. But knowing how it all works, it is not at all impossible they were behind it.

Domestic intel is massive, and made up of very bad people, who view the rest of the nation as a personal threat to them. I will not be surprised if there is a civil war at some point, when what they have been up to gets out.

Burning debris doesn’t pulverize a building while bringing it down within its footprint. 3000 architects have gone on record with that impossibility.

Plus there was no plane down at the site in PA.

Plus the Pentagon was hit by a strategic strike from a missile, not a plane.

Plus the two towers. Etc. Etc.

Try to make a point of sitting down when when you finally see the truth. Otherwise you might fall and hit your head.
