Hunter S. Thompson - Killed because he was about to expose a WTC coverup and a DC pedophilia ring?

From ParaPolitics we are offered a bizarre story that HST was working on a WTC collapse story before his sudden death. Apparently he came across "hard evidence" indicating the towers were brought down by explosive charges at their foundations. And yes, he was working on such a story, as well as one related to the previously-reported DC pedophile ring involving many highly placed figures in our government. The link also will take you to the suppressed "Discovery Channel" show about this ring. To begin this weird bit of news leading us down the rabbit hole, here are some interesting contradictions about his death. (More below the fold)

From the ParaPolitics story:

Now check out this February 25 Associated Press story about Thompson's death. Sounds a lot like a professional hit with a silencer: "I was on the phone with him, he set the receiver down and he did it. I heard the clicking of the gun," Anita Thompson told the Aspen Daily News in Friday's editions.
She said her husband had asked her to come home from a health club so they could work on his weekly ESPN column...

Thompson said she heard a loud, muffled noise, but didn't know what had happened. "I was waiting for him to get back on the phone," she said.

(Her account to Rocky Mountain News reporter Jeff Kass is slightly different: "I did not hear any bang," she told Kass. She added that Thompson's son, who was in the house at the time, believed that a book had fallen when he heard the shot, according to Kass' report.)

Mack White sums up the questions well: Thompson's family says he was not depressed, nor was he in enough pain to kill himself. In fact, by all reports, he was quite happy. He was talking on the phone to his wife, getting ready to work on his column, when he decided it would be wise to kill himself, so that he could go out (we are told) while "still at the top of his form," even though this would mean not finishing his column or his expose on 9/11 (potentially the most important thing he would ever write...)
There are plenty of related links at the site of these stories to back this up and keep you intrigued. Here's a bit from the story on the gay prostitution ring in Washington DC from the Alex Jones show. Again, there are links in the original ParaPolitics story that will back up what you are about to read:

ALEX JONES: We're talking to a renowned journalist and writer, Paul William Roberts. Wrote a story for The Globe & Mail up in Canada where he talked about Hunter S. Thompson before he died mysteriously a few weeks ago, saying he believed the government may have been involved in 9/11, and he was concerned. He lived basically in a little armored compound... now they're saying he committed suicide.

CALLER "Scott from Texas": I was just wondering if you guys might be able to clear up something I heard through the journalist Sherman Skolnick. He is reporting that another story or book, I don't remember exactly which, that Hunter S. Thompson was working on was about this gay prostitution ring in the White House and supposedly that was another touchy topic that he brought out, and the whole...

JONES: Had you heard that from Hunter?

PAUL WILLAM ROBERTS: Yeah, I had heard that quite a lot from Hunter. It goes back to Kissinger, I believe.

JONES: Wow. Now that's a big confirmation. Now for those who don't know, We have Washington Times articles from 1989, you know -- 'underage call boys in the White House', and so this is serious . .. Hunter was working on that?

ROBERTS: Yeah, in fact Lyndon LaRouche published some stuff about that. And although, you know, a lot of his material was not that trustworthy, in this particular case there were a lot of sources cited and there was no lawsuit. And where there's no lawsuit you can be almost guaranteed that it's true.

CALLER: And I'm wondering if that might not be a hotter issue otherwise, because you get into the Jeff Gannon case and the whole gay prostitution and that's a national security issue.

JONES: Well, Skolnick is saying that now, we're talking about some of the fake reporters, and we know that ... again I haven't confirmed that part of the story but i'd like 2 get some conf on that

CALLER: And also it's interesting too because it dovetails with Jeff Gannon possibly being the leak that leaked the story about Valerie Plame...

JONES: Well let me just add this. I mean, we have the New York Post: 'Top gay porn star services moguls at Bohemian Grove... I mean I have Parade magazine articles, Spy magazine articles from the 80s where, as I said they bus in the gay prostitutes like Beluga caviar for our "Christian conservative" leaders... And is that what Hunter S. Thompson was on to?

ROBERTS: He certainly knew all about that and I believe had written about it. I don't know wheher there was a book in the works, but he certainly had published columns on it...

JONES: Well it certainly looks pretty suspicious.

CALLER "Thomas in Colorado": I never met Mr. -- Dr. Thompson myself, but we had a muutal friend and I'm still friends with this guy and through this mutual friend, I passed on to him about a year ago some of your vidoes. So Dr Thompson watched your videos, I know this for a fact and through my friend I heard that he was impressed and he said something to the effect, "Yes, that's the way it is" or "That's the way things are."
And then there's this juicy bit from the NY Post, "Was Hunter S. Thompson's mysterious death really a suicide?"

There are some serious irregularities surrounding the demise of the gonzo author, who was found shot to death in the kitchen of his Woody Creek, Colo., ranch on Feb. 20, and local cops seemed to have done a lackluster job of investigating.

Police reports obtained by the Rocky Mountain News note that cops arriving on the scene heard shots being fired, that Thompson's son, Juan, was allowed to be alone with the body, and that there was something odd about the gun Thompson supposedly used to kill himself.

Before his death, Thompson seemed in good spirits and was not known to be depressed. And considering his long-winded style, the absence of a note seems strange - he'd typed only the single word "counselor."

There were no eyewitnesses to the shooting, only an "earwitness" - Thompson's wife, Anita, who was on the phone with him at the time and who later drank scotch with the corpse. Her account of the incident is inconsistent: She alternately has said that she heard a loud, muffled noise and that she heard nothing but clicking.

The behavior of Juan, who was in the house at the time of the shooting, also was unusual. Pitkin County Deputy Sheriff John Armstrong said that when investigators arrived on the scene they heard shots, but Juan assured them he had merely been firing off a salute to his dead dad. Investigator Joseph DiSalvo also let Juan enter the kitchen alone and drape a scarf over the body.

And in his report, Deputy Ron Ryan noted the semi-automatic Smith & Wesson 645 found next to Thompson's body was in an unusual condition. There was a spent shell casing, but although there were six bullets left in the gun's clip, there was no bullet in the firing chamber, as there should have been under normal circumstances.

DiSalvo said he did not check the gun, adding, "I think a bullet from the magazine should have cycled into the chamber" unless there was a "malfunction." A spent slug was found in the stove hood behind the body.

Conspiracy theorists make much of the fact that Thompson had been working on a far-fetched story about the World Trade Center attack at the time of his death.

As Canada's Globe and Mail reported, Thompson had "stumbled across what he felt was hard evidence showing the towers had been brought down not by the airplanes that flew into them but by explosive charges set off in their foundations."
And for those of you who just can't get enough of Jeff Gannon and the weird rumors about the DC pedophile/child prostitution ring, go to this link at ParaPolitics. You'll find links to such topics as "GQ Magazine on High-Level Homosexual Control of the Republican Party," "RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman ''Gay Story'' Quashed (by ''Gay'' magazine)," "Unedited 'Discovery Channel' Video of D.C. Homo-Paedophile Ring," "Pedophilia Meme Percolates Across the Net, Texas and now Austin," and others that are linked all over the map to all kinds of backup stories. This is pretty weird folks. If true, we've got BIG trouble in Washington DC that involves some of the most powerful men in our nation, including the Bohemian Grove, which is weird enough for anyone. http://futureofthewhirled.com/hunter...edophilia_ring

The Pedophile ring was eventually exposed anyways, I think HST found out that it was more then just a "right wing" ring. The Hunter S Tompson murder was pushed into obscurity.

Gannon-Gate
Threatens to Expose a Huge GOP Pedophile and Male Prostitution Ring

Now that is has been discovered that “Jeff Gannon” (real name James D. Guckert), a “reporter” for Talon News Service, a front operation run by the conservative Republican-oriented GOPUSA.com, was using an alias as a cleared White House reporter, details are emerging that threaten to immerse the Bush administration in a major scandal. “Gannongate,” which is only now being mentioned by the mainstream news media, threatens to expose a potentially damaging GOP pedophile and male prostitution ring dating back to the 1980s and the administration of George H. W. Bush. James D. Guckert, using the name Jeff Gannon and possibly other aliases, was also running gay porn sites, one with a U.S. Marine Corps theme that solicited males for prostitution. White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan said he did not realize Gannon was using an alias until recently. However, rumors in the gay community are circulating about McClellan frequenting gay bars in Austin, Texas. Gannon bypassed established Secret Service security controls, including a background check requiring a social security number, to obtain a White House press pass that identified him by an alias, an action seen by many seasoned Washington journalists as only being possible if he had favorable treatment from White House staff, especially McClellan and his predecessor, Ari Fleischer. One White House reporter expressed revulsion over the fact that it was Fleischer who took away press credential from the late long-time White House correspondent Sarah McClendon and handed them to Gannon.

GOPUSA.com is run by a right-wing Texan and Bush friend named Bobby Eberle. In 2003, GOPUSA.com launched a vicious anti-Semitic attack against international financier George Soros, a leading philanthropist for progressive causes and a major contributor to the Democratic Party. http://insider-magazine.org/Gannongate.htm

Lawson Wills

Dep. District Atty.

Pitkin Cty. Courthouse



Dear Mr. Wills,



I am given to understand that you want me to come into the courthouse and officially surrender to you, in front of witnesses, so that you can formally re-arrest me on some kind of vague, chickenshit charge cooked up by Officer Short on the night of Nov. 7-8, '95, in the course of our bizarre encounter on Cemetery Lane as I was very skillfully driving home (on an utterly deserted road) after delivering the keynote address at a major political rally full of people who planned to wake up the next morning (Election Day) and kick the shit out of the Aspen Ski Co. Is my information correct? Did that vengeful dingbat actually fail to serve me with a valid, legal summons? Did he botch everything that night? Was he so crazy that he couldnt even arrest me properly? And is that why you want me to drive at top speed into town so you can get yr. picture in the papers while you slap handcuffs on me and swell up like a toad for the cameras? Ah, Lawson, have you no shame? Are you a Nazi? Are you nuts with lust for your upcoming 15 minutes of fame? Has it come to this- that you have to beg, bitch, and cajole your victims to turn themselves in and abandon all hope for anything except humiliation and jail? How long, O Lord, how long? You should be deeply ashamed of yourself. I talked with a journalist who said you reminded him of William Jennings Bryan at the Scopes "Monkey Trial" in 1925. It was a horrible thing to hear. (Bryan, as you recall, was whipsawed by Darrow and wound up testifying, under oath,, that a whale is not a mammal and therefore neither is he.) Ah, but dont get me wrong Lawson, I'm on your side-- or at least I was until that bungling dunce harassed me for 3 and a half hours on Election Day and made an ass of himself in the Jail. It was ugly. He went haywire when he finally understood that I was not Drunk and none of his high-tech Drunk-Buster machines were going to give him the numbers he wanted. He was like an ape trapped in chains. His fellow Officers were mortified, and so was I. It is shocking to see Aspen's long and honorable tradition of quality law enforcement being sullied by these charges about "rogue cops" and "stalkers" and "dumb Watersuckers with six-guns" who strut like John Wayne and think like Mark Fuhrman. THere aint many, as we know, but we also know in our bones that one rotten apple ruins the whole bushel, and that is why I feel real sympathy for you, because I know the people you work for, and I know how sick they are. But don't worrry, Lawson: The pigs will soon be out of the poke. Yessir. The fat is in the fire. Today's pig is tomorrow's bacon. Whoops. Sorry. but rest easy I WILL come in (probably today) and surrender again- and a whole legion of falsely accused drunkards will come with me. And they ALL hate Mark Fuhrman. But now me, Lawson. I don't hate anybody. I am a child of god of the new age Buddhist persuasion, and I love to go to court. Because that is where Justice lives, and you know how I feel aboout Justice. Indeed. Yr. time is coming, Whore-Face. When I get yr. lame ass in court, you'll wish you'd been run over and killed by a Buick when you were six years old. We will skewer those swine on worldwide TV and put them in prison for perjury. Nobody in this valley will ever see them again. You filthy stinking animal. Do you know what Misprison of a Felony means? Or Aggravated Conspiracy to Obstruct Justice? Are you aware of the terrible punishment that awaits a Main Pig like you?
Ok. That's it. I'll surrender at noon on Wednesday.


Yours for a clean and decent fight,


Dr. Hunter S. Thompson

You ever read Proud Highway serum?

Sure have, Proud Highway is probably my favorite.

Sure have, Proud Highway is probably my favorite.

Out of all of Thompson's work Proud Highway is probably my favorite as well - the best (if not best, then at least the most memorable) was right towards the end of his time in the military and the beginning stages of his career as a writer.

I with you on that. The exit story in the base paper was hilarious. I remember something about being attacked by a hoard of lesbians in another.
