Former Navy SEAL and Governor of Minnesota Jesse Ventura has questioned Barack Obama’s official narrative regarding the raid on Osama Bin Laden, telling the Alex Jones Show of his suspicions that Osama died years ago, and expressing disbelief that the man seen flicking between TV channels in the video released by the White House Saturday was actually Bin Laden.
“I’ve been lied to so much I question everything the government tells me,” Ventura said, adding that the Jessica Lynch and Pat Tillman cover-ups made him suspect the official version of last Sunday’s events.
“I don’t know what to believe, that’s the disturbing thing about being a United States citizen,” said Ventura, noting how the media has for the most part simply regurgitated everything the White House claimed about the raid.
Ventura echoed the sentiments of a number of intelligence professionals and heads of state who publicly expressed their contention that Bin Laden had been dead for many years before Obama’s announcement of his death in a live speech on national television.
“This guy was supposedly on a dialysis machine way back 10 years ago, how does he survive that long if he was on a dialysis machine?” asked Ventura.
Referring to the footage released Saturday by the White House which claims to show Bin Laden flicking through television channels, Ventura said that he laughed when he saw the clip as there was no way of knowing if it actually was Osama. Residents of Abbottabad share Ventura’s doubts, with one telling a BBC reporter this week that the man in the video was actually his neighbor and the owner of the compound, a man called Akhbar Han.

Indeed, President Obama himself told 60 Minutes on Sunday that before the raid the White House was only 55/45 sure that the man inside the compound was Osama Bin Laden, fearing he could just have been a “prince from Dubai” instead.
“What they really did was shoot an old man sitting in his bed,” Ventura speculated, although being a former Navy SEAL himself, Ventura was keen to emphasize that the SEALS involved in the operation would have been told that the man they killed was Bin Laden and were not in on any kind of scam.
The former Governor also questioned why Bin Laden was not captured and interrogated even after it emerged that he had been unarmed.
Noting how Bin Laden would have been a treasure trove of information regarding Al-Qaeda, Ventura stated, “I certainly would capture him, why wouldn’t you attempt to capture this guy….it seems stupid to just have executed him without trying to capture him.”
Ventura also questioned the manner in which Bin Laden’s body was hastily dumped into the sea, noting that this was not in accordance with Islamic burial practices as the White House had claimed.
As we have documented, there are a myriad of inconsistencies surrounding the alleged raid on the Bin Laden compound, and the Obama administration’s constant flip-flopping of the official narrative has only increased suspicion surrounding the political motivations behind the whole episode.

What is the point of having Ventura and Dr SP to tell us what we know? WE KNOW
WE KNOW the govt going to use terror threat to enforce internal passports. WE KNOW. WE KNOW, and govt does not care we know, because so far we have not stopped them from doing anything.
Endless wars, patriot act, HS, TSA, criminal cartel on wall street, trillions stolen from us and given to the banks, fraudclosure, and so on – And talking about is not going to stop them.
Alex, I have said before we need some explosive evidence that unravels the 9/11 story that can not be buried by msm. Your guest DR SP was useless. He told us NOTHING. Please stop giving hours of coverage to guest telling us what we know. BTW Dr SP has now changed his original wikipedia page again. In his earlier one he stated “he worked for kissenger, baker etc, now it is just alleged he worked for govt and uses your stories as sources to back up his claims
Who the hell was that guy really?
May 10th, 2011 at 11:49 am
budy you might know like many on here now know, but Alex is trying to reach those who do not know. It’s ok you know but until enough people are like you and wake up from there lala land state, the wake up must persue.
Look how they condition our minds with television programing and all the fear energy they can promote day after day, hour after hour on CNN like media???????
The same kind of conditioning must be repeated if people are too snap out of this mind conditionning.

There are so many still sleeping unable to believe this evil is real and the potential it does happen to us.
Maybe the events that are soon about to happen on this planet and elsewhere in the cosmos is the reason for all this evil “” nothing to loose”" type of abuse??????
the magnetic field and polar shift could be the reason the rich and powerfull are trying to pull this off?
In there sick minds, maybe they believe they have nothing to loose? many will die anyway? who knows what these sick puppies think

I get what you are saying, but the majority of people that listen to AJ KNOW.
All I am saying is saying the same thing over and over again is pointless and does nothing to move the story forward. I get that he has to cover it, but does he need to go on and on?
Last week he let Dr SP on his show all week. he said NOTHING we didn’t know and AJ kept saying it was bombshell. Now AJ all quiet on Dr SP, does AJ know he might have been duped by this guy? If so, that is okay, but no harm in letting your audience know that.
May 10th, 2011 at 11:55 am
I aks who he is really too. And why did he just show up after a 10 year lapse from the “truth” movement.
Don’t be asking AJ questions like this, he’s just doing his job. lmao
This too is conditioning Vic. Wake up already.
May 10th, 2011 at 11:42 am Having been in the US Army infantry for close to 11 years, I can tell you that the story being given by the White House is ridiculous. Special forces would never conduct a raid in the manner described. First of all, once they had gotten that close to Osama bin Laden and found him unarmed, he would have been taken alive. Soldiers are not trained to kill unarmed people. All soldiers are trained to obey the rules of war. Soldiers who kill in such a way, can, and should be tried for murder.
Whoever was killed in this raid, certainly were not killed by Navy SEALs and I’m sure Osama bin Laden wasn’t in the group at all. Navy SEALs don’t operate like this, so it’s pretty apparent to me that this was a government black op conducted illegally by the CIA.
Wake up people! This is coming to a location near you!

And why isn’t Pakistan outraged at the US entering their airspace, using drones?
All of this is a psy op.
May 10th, 2011 at 11:43 am Alex,
are you purposely covering and saying the same things over and over again. Please stop and cover other stories. I get this is an impt story, but it has all been said a million times now, unless you have some ‘bombshell’ news enough.
May 10th, 2011 at 11:44 am I meant
“bombshell NEW news”
May 10th, 2011 at 11:45 am Not enough people question the rulers public like Jessie and ALEX do, Ron Paul defends the constitution and the end of this war none sense.
about time people voted for the right people, not the puppets
May 10th, 2011 at 11:57 am
You are still delusional Vic. It’s still all part of the plan.
May 10th, 2011 at 12:03 pm
Why do you say I’m delusional?
I can see it’s part of the plan what is going on or at least part of A plan for there are more than one plan right now fighting it out .
May 10th, 2011 at 11:55 am I would rather be over-sceptical than gullible. We cannot be expected to believe something without any evidence, especially when the claims made have been so contradictory. The story just doesn’t seem to make any sense. On the other hand, there is the matter of these women and children, and this will almost certainly be the pivotal, and so far, the only piece of evidence to hand. If somehow we turn out to be wrong about this, I would not be too ashamed. I need evidence before I can believe in something. In the light of the past, we have every reason to be wary of the official version of events.
The choice was between believing that OBL died around 2001, or believing that the authorities had repeatedly permitted him to escape. There was a case to be made for both of these scenarios. Most of us seem to have plumped for the former.
If we turn out to be wrong on this, and this raid turns out to have been a genuine operation to take out the real OBL, it is inevitably going to shake some people’s willingness to question the (unsubstantiated) claims of authority in the future. This would be a great pity. It might even be that the confusion over the version(s) of events we have seen was not due to clumsiness, but a deliberate ploy, to cause sceptics to over-react, and thus undermine their credibility, the need for a full and independent inquiry into what really happened on 9/11.
The next few days will be crucial. We shall just have to wait and see what develops.
May 10th, 2011 at 12:03 pm Here is an example I want to give:
In 2008 mainstream media up here in Canada did not even mention anything about RON PAUL.
Even today I wait to see when Canadian mainstream start talking about RON PAUL.
The point I want to make is people are manipulated and only believe what mainstream tell them.
Any other source that might talk truth they will discard???? No wonder so many people do not see what is going on?
May 10th, 2011 at 12:24 pm “This guy was supposedly on a dialysis machine way back 10 years ago, how does he survive that long if he was on a dialysis machine?”
A BETTER QUESTION IS WHY WASN’T A DIALYSIS MACHINE OR MEDICATIONS RELATED TO HIS KIDNEY CONDITION FOUND AT OSAMA’S HOME?
May 10th, 2011 at 12:27 pm DO NOT TRUST JESSE VENTURA. I AM NOT DOUBTING ALEX OR ANY OF HIS GUESTS, BUT BEWARE OF JESSE VENTURA. HE IS AN OPPORTUNIST. YES JESSE VENTURA IS AN OPPORTUNIST. JESSE VENTURA IS AN OPPORTUNIST. JESSE VENTURA IS AN OPPORTUNIST. JESSE VENTURA IS AN OPPORTUNIST. JESSE VENTURA IS AN OPPORTUNIST. JESSE VENTURA IS AN OPPORTUNIST.
VENTURA HAS ADMITTED ON RECORD TO HAVE TAKEN MILLIONS FROM ELITES WHEN HE WAS GOVERNOR. NOW HIS MONEY IS FINISHED SO HE MAKES TV SERIES TO MAKE MORE MONEY AND INSTEAD OF FIGHTING BACK POLITICALLY HE GOES AND LIVES IN MEXICO.
ALEX JONES IS A HERO, HE IS STANDING HIS GROUND.
ALEX JONES IS A HERO, HE IS STANDING HIS GROUND.
ALEX JONES IS A HERO, HE IS STANDING HIS GROUND.
ALEX JONES IS A HERO, HE IS STANDING HIS GROUND.
VENTURA IS AN OPPORTUNIST. DO NOT TRUST VENTURA EVEN IF HE IS SINGING THE SAME TUNE. HE IS THE PIED PIEPER.
May 10th, 2011 at 12:37 pm Jesse…Jesse….Jesse. Ya know when you were wielding that mini-gun on Predator I thought you were the cat’s ass. But now ol’ boy its time to lay it down…I mean look at you, your face looks like an ol’ buffalo hide thats been staked out on the plains to dry. Christ only knows that those whisps of hair on your shoulders don’t stand a chance to make dreadlocks, so that “look” is out. I apperciated what your doing though bro, but good god almighty we’ve heard every angle that could be created on when osama clocked out. And besides that picture that they used to do this article, don’t do you justice, by your expression it looks like your head has struck the mat too many times. My belief and stance is this: that what we have been told by the media and the government is a crock of shit, and as long as you stay along those line you are ahead of the game. Watch your six cause you never know what this mixed- mutt communist whelp is gonna come up with next.
May 10th, 2011 at 12:48 pm Pride in law and order was best exemplified by the myth that the Canadian Mounties always got their man. Now the Navy Seals are given the honor of being the branch of the military that always gets their man. Myth or fact is not important as long as a criminal believes he is the man that will get caught.
