A prominent writer, openly critical of the US government. While writing an expose of 9/11 when he was found dead.

Hunter S. Thompson was a US writer. He founded the idea of gonzo journalism. He doubted the US government's 9-11 official narrative about the 19 men with box cutters and was writing an alternative account when he was found dead.

Opinions

America... just a nation of two hundred million used car salesmen with all the money we need to buy guns and no qualms about killing anybody else in the world who tries to make us uncomfortable”
Hunter S. Thompson [1]

September 11

After the September 11 attacks, Thompson voiced skepticism regarding the official story on who was responsible for the attacks. He speculated to several interviewers that it may have been a False flag conducted by the U.S. Government or with the government's assistance, though admitting he had no way to prove his theory.[2][3]

US Deep state

In 2004, Thompson wrote: "Nixon was a professional politician, and I despised everything he stood for — but if he were running for president this year against the evil BushCheney gang, I would happily vote for him."[4]

Death

The New York Times headlined its reports of Thompson's death Hunter S. Thompson, 67, Author, Commits Suicide and termed him a "counter cultural hero".[5] As of June 2016, Wikipedia begins its short section on his death with the claim that Thompson " died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head at Owl Farm".[6] He was working on a book about 9/11 when he died. At that time, criticism of the UC government's official narrative was comparatively rare.[citation needed]

Corporate media coverage

Wikipedia terms Thompson a "conspiracy theorist".

 

A Quote by Hunter S. Thompson

PageQuote
US/2000 Presidential Election“There was one exact moment, in fact, when I knew for sure that Al Gore would Never be President of the United States, no matter what the experts were saying — and that was when the whole Bush family suddenly appeared on TV and openly scoffed at the idea of Gore winning Florida. It was Nonsense, said the Candidate, Utter nonsense. . .Anybody who believed Bush had lost Florida was a Fool. The Media, all of them, were Liars & Dunces or treacherous whores trying to sabotage his victory. . . Here was the whole bloody Family laughing & hooting & sneering at the dumbness of the whole world on National TV. The old man was the real tip-off. The leer on his face was almost frightening. It was like looking into the eyes of a tall hyena with a living sheep in its mouth. The sheep's fate was sealed, and so was Al Gore's.”
