Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura, host of truTV’s popular show Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura, has a legitimate beef with the thought Nazis over at The Huffington Post.
Earlier this week, Ventura published a blog article entitled “For some, the search for what happened on 9/11 isn't over”, which began as follows:
You didn't see anything about it in the mainstream media, but two weeks ago at a conference in San Francisco, more than one thousand architects and engineers signed a petition demanding that Congress begin a new investigation into the destruction of the World Trade Center skyscrapers on 9/11.That's right, these people put their reputations in potential jeopardy because they don't buy the government's version of events. They want to know how 200,000 tons of steel disintegrated and fell to the ground in 11 seconds. They question whether the hijacked planes were responsible – or whether it could have been a controlled demolition from inside that brought down the twin towers and Building 7.
Several hours later, the posting, which appeared on website’s front page, was removed and replaced with a brief statement, which reads:
Editor's Note: The Huffington Post's editorial policy, laid out in our blogger guidelines, prohibits the promotion and promulgation of conspiracy theories -- including those about 9/11. As such, we have removed this post.
In an interview with Russia Today’s New York Correspondent Anastasia Churkina, appearing directly below, he says, “I can't believe The Huffington Post today will practice censorship. They asked me to be a Contributing Editor, and they said ‘write about anything you want.’”
Concluding, Ventura adds, “Well, I've got news for them: I won't ever write for them again … I don’t like it when people censor what I have to say.”
Russia Today has also gone one step further: it republished Ventura’s article on its website, with a clever introduction that notes, “He wrote about the same topic on The Huffington Post, but his article was banned. Read it here on RT.”
Evidently, Americans – and citizens around the world – now have to venture to Russian media to hear about topics deemed too politically incorrect in the United States. Not only is this a truly sad state-of-affairs, it shows how damaged the political process in this Federal Republic is.
The Raw Story has since published a snippet of The Huffington Post’s guidelines for bloggers, which certainly provides more food for thought:
"We must -- and do -- reserve the right to remove objectionable, inaccurate, or inflammatory material and, if necessary, suspend or revoke blogging privileges. This also includes propagating conspiracy theories and blogging about behind-the-scenes housekeeping issues that are not of interest to the general public."
I would personally love to know what this website, which is full of de facto propaganda and yellow journalism, determines those “conspiracy theories" and "behind-the-scenes housekeeping issues that are not of interest to the general public” to be. Apparently, The Huffington Post believes it has a right to determine everything that the general public is – and isn’t – interested in. Readers should note this absurdly arrogant assumption, and the inherent implications.
As a lifelong New Yorker, I – and millions – have been personally affected by what happened on 9/11.
Nearly 3,000 people died that day – one of them happened to be the uncle of an acquaintance of mine. With that said, you’d be damn right to conclude that in the grand scheme of things, these matters continue to hit home for many of us.
Those who aren’t living under a rock are also well aware that the “official” story, based largely on the 9/11 Commission Report, has been the subject of a global controversy for years now. Just ask the more than 200 “Senior Military, Intelligence Service, Law Enforcement, and Government Officials” that are identified in tandem with many other professionals in questioning the 9/11 investigation; I seriously doubt they consider Jesse Ventura to be some “conspiracy theory” nut, but that’s just my opinion.
In addition, let us not forget that the crimes committed on 9/11 also impacted over 50 nations, as an estimated 329 foreign nationals died that day. Their family members and governments have a right – and duty – to receive a full and transparent accounting of exactly what happened. Based on all the information (and disinformation) that is lodged within the public domain, it is nearly impossible for anyone to ascertain such.
In this day and age, these conditions are unacceptable, and require a definitive rectification. If honest, taxpaying citizens – who own the US Government, not the other way around – demand that this means a new investigation, they have a God given right to realize this objective in a fair and transparent manner. Anyone that willfully objects to such a reasonable outcome clearly does not support this Republic and its democratic principles.
“If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained. But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.” – 1 Timothy 4:6-7

Anyone serious about what went down before, during, and after 911, should go to whatreallyhappened.com
Don't let a corrupt government and corporate media tell you what didn't happen. THINK for yourself for a change.
There is not ONE photograph of any of the accused boarding the planes. 8 of the accused turned up alive and well.
All airports involved were serviced by ONE Israeli owned company ICTS.

I’ve been working with a group that is fed up with the ridiculous censorship at the Huffington Post. We have a petition you can sign. Every time someone signs the form letter at the bottom of the page gets automatically sent to the Huffington Post (you will receive a form letter email reply). You can customize that email if you want. The petition is here:

We also have a blog that documents some of the most outrageous examples of censorship:
