“There are many of us who don’t believe the status quo of what we’ve been told,” acknowledged former governor of the state of Minnesota, actor and TV host Jesse Ventura in an exclusive interview with RT.
Ventura, who has had explosive encounters with the American mainstream media, called it “soundbite news” and said it cannot be trusted at all.
“Major news organizations have really become almost monopolized. The media today is in creating news rather than reporting it. And that’s very dangerous,” he said.
Jesse Ventura shared that “the Internet is getting super powerful now, and that is what the government has to control next.”
The ex-governor warned that “Whenever government says ‘to keep you safe’ – get ready, because you are going to lose your freedoms.”

Jesse Ventura’s articles on 9/11 have been censored and removed from Huffington Post website. “I cannot believe The Huffington Post Today would practice censorship. They asked me to be a contributing editor and they said ‘Write about anything you want!” – and they removed it.”
Ventura said that the explanation for the Huffington Post was as simple as “we don’t do conspiracies.”
“The power structure does not want any questions on 9/11,” stated Jesse Ventura, who do not believe that a new investigation on 9/11 will ever be launched, “because they are not going to let it.”
Regarding whether or not the attack on the World Trade Center in 2001 was an inside job, Ventura stated that the Bush and Cheney administration “either took part in it, or they certainly knew it was going to happen – and allowed it to. To me both [of them] are as bad as each other.”
“Barack Obama started off with so much hope for change. But when he named his administration, it was nothing but the old Democratic card again. They are not change. If he would get new people in there, not people that have been there 25-30 years – that would have been a change,” Ventura continued.
“The reality was – ‘We’ll fool them again, we’ll tell them there is going to be change, they’ll all vote for a change’ – but it will still be the old status quo as we get down to it.”
Jesse Ventura did agree that there are terrorists who are the enemies of America, but they somehow “blow it up much bigger than it is.”
“Why do we have to spend literally almost half of our entire federal budget on defense? Who is it that is going to get us? That we need to spend that kind of money to defend ourselves? And if we do have to spend that kind of money to defend ourselves – what have we done to make people want to attack us so bad that we have to defend ourselves?” questioned the ex-governor.
Ventura acknowledged that “Our army now is a strong arm of corporate America. When corporate America cannot go out and do it in the business world, then we will send the military to get the job done in the military world.”
The financial aid America gives to other countries is buying influence and bribery by its nature, believes Jesse Ventura. “It’s done to get people to do what we want them to do – we buy them off – that’s the true American way according to them.”
According to Ventura, the New World Order conspiracy is probably true, because once the global elite pushes through the so-called “global warming tax” and starts making money out of it – they are going to expand because “with money government grows” and “the guys there are not trying to fix it, but simply trying to become wealthier off it.”
Jesse Ventura told RT that for now he is done with politics and is not considering running for the presidency at the next presidential election. Instead, he wants to become a prolific surfer.

The Huffington Post may say they don't write about conspiracies, but that is just as dangerous as writing about them, because sometimes the conspiracies are true. What is today's conspiracy is tomorrow's headline in the New York Times (after its editors have checked with their corporate and government masters, of course). I think Huffington Post may eventually regret its hasty dismissal of Ventura's writing. They could find themselves behind the news, not in front of it, and end up getting their stories from the NYTimes or Washington Post, like so many small-town papers.
I do find it very discomforting to know that to find out what is going on in my own country I have to read British/Canadian newspapers or visit web sites like RT Today. As Pogo said "I have seen the enemy and it is us", and will continue to be if we as Americans follow the path of compliance and ignorance of the policies the current administration is stuffing down our throats in an attempt to separate us from our hard earned money and Constitutional rights. American forefathers bled and died for these rights and now their actions to start and preserve our republic are being looked on by this administration as something to be ashamed of. This can, in part, be corrected in November. Take the time to vote it is not only a right, it your duty. I do disagree with Ventura's statement that the same old status quo will be elected. I take this to mean that regardless if you vote right or left it makes no difference. A difference can be made, and to take it to a base level; Throw the bums out! One last thing, the next time someone yells "change, we need change", ask them to define change. Chances are they won't be able to define their goals or ideas. They just like saying "change", it rolls off the tongue so well.













Kinhu: Not all the people were fulled by Bushes propaganda, nor by Clintons, and hopefully the majority of us will not be fulled by the Obama deception. A lot of us believe Clinton administration was involved in the Oklahoma bombing, and Bush administration was involved in the twin towers, and now Obama following the lead of the past puppet polititions of robbing the American people of their life and liberties. As for believing in the main street media, they are nothing more than prostitutes selling their words. They know nothing of investigative reporting anymore, they know nothing more than to read the prompt cards and write what they are told to write. Hopefully this November is the start of a new revolution in America, one that will bring back the peoples rights and freedoms that our forefathers died for.
