The following is a comprehensive summary of Congressman Ron Paul's public comments on the subject of "9/11 truth", if 9/11/01 was possibly part of a government conspiracy.
JANUARY 17, 2007:
On the Alex Jones show, (with Jack Blood guest-hosting) Ron Paul says
"..a real investigation isn't going to happen. But I think we have to keep pushing for it."
"CALLER: I want a complete, impartial, and totally independent investigation of the events of September 11, 2001 . I'm tired of this bogus garbage about terrorism. Ask Michael Meacher about how he feels about this bogus war on terrorism. Can you comment on that please?
HON. DR. RON PAUL: Well, that would be nice to have. Unfortunately, we don't have that in place. It will be a little bit better now with the Democrats now in charge of oversight. But you know, for top level policy there's not a whole lot of difference between the two policies so a real investigation isn't going to happen. But I think we have to keep pushing for it. And like you and others, we see the investigations that have been done so far as more or less cover-up and no real explanation of what went on.

FEBRUARY 2007:
Ron Paul is questioned by Student Scholars for 9/11 Truth and says he would support a new 9/11 investigation. Thanks to SST911.org.
May 22, 2007: Reason Magazine questions Ron Paul on his previous comments:
- Reason: The position of the Student Scholars is that 9/11 was executed by the U.S. government. Do you agree or disagree with that?
- Paul: I'd say there's no evidence of that.
- Reason: So what did you mean when you told Student Scholars you'd be open to a new 9/11 investigation?
- Paul: Well, I think the more we know about what we went on is good. But I don't think there's any evidence of [an inside job] and I don't believe that. The blame goes to bad policy. And a lot of times bad policy is well-motivated. The people who believe in a one world government are well motivated, but they disagree with me.
JUNE 16, 2007: Among Supporters in an airport, Ron Paul says that the 9/11 investigation, similar to that of JFK, Waco, Ruby Ridge, amounts to a 'coverup'.

The host John Zeigler, who is a neocon gatekeeper and ardent supporter if Bush's "war on terror" , was eventually fired from KFI for what he claims were problems with KFI host John Kobylt. Kobylt recently got angry when a caller brought up 9/11 truth on air (before being cut off) in November 2009.

Oct 7, 2007:
Ron Paul says 9/11 was ineptness and NOT "an Inside Job"
Steve Gill: "....Do you think the American government, the U.S. government, had anything to do with bringing those towers down either directly or allowing it to happen?
Ron Paul: "I think indirectly out of ineptness rather than participating in it, planning it or allowing it to happen. I see it's ineptness - that's why I think the investigations are always coverup of the inefficiency of government....."
"....that's why I don't trust the investigations. But you know, the neocons were very explicit even before 9/11 that it would be an advantage if they had a Pearl Harbor type of an event where they could move their foreign policy along and use that as an excuse. That doesn't mean there's evidence that they planned it. You know, I don't think you can go from one step to the other. But if certain events occur, they can make good use of it."

Q. Many of your supporters call themselves '9/11 Truthers'. They believe that the U.S. government was in some way complicit with the 9/11 attacks or covered it up. Are you tonight prepared to either embrace that rhetoric or ask those supporters to abandon it, or divorce themselves from your candidacy?
Paul: Well, I can't tell people what to do, but I've abandoned those viewpoints, I don't believe that, and that's all.. that's the only thing that is important, and so I don't endorse anything they say,
but I would like to take an opportunity to talk about the issue that we've been debating here for the last 20 minutes.
Q. Sir, would you ask them to cease that rhetoric tonight on your behalf?
Paul: Well it doesn't do me any good, so if they care about me they should, but the only thing I have control over is what I believe and what i say. I can't tell them what to do, so I don't endorse what they say and I don't believe that, so please, could I participate in the current debate rather than talking this out?
A. please do. Please do. Please do. Please do.

Comments
Unless government agents publicize every single detail about the 9/11 events, there is a cover-up. What, exactly, is being covered up is unlikely to ever be known. We know the US government will kill for money ("taxation") and because you have dried leaves in your house, so why would more killing for "bigger reasons" be a surprise?
Originally, I wanted to believe that Ron Paul was one of the few...and I mean god damned few...Americans left in America. But, like everybody else in that most lavishly funded of circle jerks in the universe, the US congress, Paul is as bought and paid for by AIPAC as all the rest....he could have single handedly challenged the acceptance by the Electoral College of the Chocolate Jesus on Constitutional grounds but failed to....and where was he when the House voted on that piece of legislative sewage known as HR 1959 introduced by that filthy jewish wretch of a congress-twit, Jane Harmon?
With each passing second, America offers further proof that Hitler was right.
Got something to say?
