Former Minnesota Governor and Wrestling legend, Jesse Ventura, has gone off the rails in recent years. He hosted a cable show about conspiracy theories at one point. He is a 9/11 “truther” who believes that Bush and Cheney orchestrated the attacks. Ventura threatened to move to Mexico after being patted down by the TSA at an airport. He called the US a Fascist state and said that Mexico was a freer country. Well he hasn’t moved there yet and now he comes up with a more ridiculous claim. Ventura alleges that the CIA is behind the recent attacks and riots at US Embassies in the Middle East!
NEW YORK — Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura, an avid and prolific conspiracist, says it’s possible the U.S. government is intentionally inflaming the current turmoil in the Middle East.
“Who knows what caused it? Let’s remember the CIA’s job is to go out and create wars,” Ventura told The Daily Caller during an extensive interview.
Pressed on whether he really believes the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency orchestrated the attacks on America’s embassies in the Middle East, Ventura said, “I have no idea, but I don’t trust my government if that’s what you’re asking me. They’ve lied to me too many times recently.”
