Senator Ron Johnson, a Republican from Wisconsin, is actively looking into the events surrounding 9/11. In a recent podcast interview, he discussed conspiracy theories related to the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, where nearly 3,000 people lost their lives. Johnson’s spokesperson confirmed that the Senator is gathering information and documentation to potentially conduct hearings on the matter.
The Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations
As the chair of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, Senator Johnson has the authority to delve into a wide range of issues. This subcommittee has a history of investigating various topics such as war profiteering, organized crime, and the global financial crisis of 2008.
During the podcast, Ron Johnson claimed that one of the buildings near the World Trade Center complex was brought down through a controlled demolition post the twin towers’ collapse. Building 7, part of the World Trade Center, collapsed several hours after the initial attacks due to intense fires ignited by the debris from the towers.
Despite scientific explanations for the collapse, Building 7 has been a focal point for conspiracy theories, with some suggesting it was deliberately demolished using explosives. Senator Johnson also criticized the investigation conducted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, alleging corruption in the process.
Questions and Speculations
He raised questions about the events of 9/11, hinting at potential cover-ups by the government. Johnson’s remarks have sparked discussions about the integrity of the investigation and the information available to the public.
While the senator has been labeled a conspiracy theorist, he stands by his inquiries, asserting that transparency is crucial in understanding historical events like 9/11 and the Capitol insurrection on January 6, 2021.
It remains to be seen when Senator Johnson plans to initiate hearings, as it depends on the data and evidence his office procures in the coming days.
