Hunter S. Thompson’s Post 9-11 Interview [FULL]

- With all the talk about fake news I thought this was worth posting...
On August 29th, 2002, journalist and famed political commentator Hunter S. Thompson was interviewed by Australia’s ABC Radio National for his take on the events of 9/11. What he got was something that would hardly surprise followers of the irreverent gonzo scribe’s long career.
While listening to Hunter’s interview, you have to bear in mind that it was conducted in the midst of a global media blitz with hundreds of pieces dedicated to the event - commemorations, followed by memorial, followed by Toby Kieth songs, followed by endless terror announcements. It would be fair to say that Thompson’s comments were certainly brave in the context of what was playing in the media at that time, although it appears that few mainstream pundits took serious note of them back then.
RIP HST. A true American hero.

A voice like his is always needed in America; it is the true voice of America.
HST, a guy who takes all kinds of drugs on daily basis for decades still beeing able to foresee the obnoxious lies of the Bush administration.
This should be a lesson for everyone here and show us what life is really about.
He's the prime example of the difference between abusing drugs and using them.
mechachrist be didn't take drugs.
mechachrist What's the difference?
If you look into it. He actually really didn’t do drugs as much is claimed. He was just a drunk
There is no such thing as paranoia, if you live long enough all of your nightmares will come true.
Well said, and true dat brah.
sounds like youre a little....paranoid
@llll I believe you're describing Wednesdays.
@@sigep145 bro wtf are your Tuesdays then?
I have tears rolling down my face as I listen to this recording not for the first time. HST's Kingdom of Fear is a present day 1984 which is all the more scary for the speed is has continued to become all the truer
New film footage just came out, it is not so crazy now
Thank's for the upload dude :)
Still finding out new info 22 years later.
"The 5 w's, the who, the what, the why, the where and the how". Classic stuff.
He'd be having a right old rant now
And Now even more.
I love u Hunter. Everything you ever said was true . We need you. Love you Rest in Peace. Gonzo for life
you know this guy made snuff films, right?
Yeah, you're right Daniel, he was absolutely right in hindsight proven.
@Matt-bp5ll you obviously don't have all the facts, but if you know his writing and interviews he admitted to drug induced filming, that he made public, when that came up when he was running for office, and no snuff ever came up! You really think he killed girls on film !
I would love to hear and or read what he thinks of what is happening to today's republican party, Trump, MTG so on. I think he would be disappointed
Hunter's view isn't conspiratorial, it's clarity of vision based on the experience of dealing with the little bastards over decades and decades.
20:55 really sums up his brilliance. RIP deeply missed.
Miss his brilliance, literally one of my heroes
BIG TIME! 💯
I wanted to say, I wish HST had still been around to shine his own light on all that has gone on since 2005. But a chunk of me thinks, i'd rather not be around to know either....
Hunter helped people look at things in a different way, in his inimitable style.
Which is pretty good.
Long live Hunter S Thompson.
Drugs for an academic strengthens perception...
For good or ill.

I remember after 911 people were scared to question what really happened and Osama bin laden was the modern day Lee Harvey Oswald.
Gave him a military navy burial when the launched him in the water
All secrets will be revealed
why music :-/
4:55 when you turn into a robot for a little bit.
Kingdom of Fear... a fitting tribute to the last great enemy of truth, justice, and the American way. Every generation has inherited one, (or two). This will be ours to bequeath to our children, and theirs. Martyrs to the cause, one and all.
GONZO FOREVER!
one of my heroes
One good soul to another.
who are the rest?
This is one of the coolest interviews ever and he was fucking awesome
What we are is, what he said. We are lost, but not found.
And now?
Hunter S. Thompson....the great libertarian. He had a deeply ingrained distrust of government...whether it was government of the left or government of the right. That is what is so marvelous about him...he had fans from both sides of the political spectrum. R.I.P. Hunter. I'll see you in a few years. Wherever it is I hope there is lots of Wild Turkey and mescaline and unlimited guns and ammo.
kris littledale i doubt Hunter would have anything to do with the Libertarian party. Just a group of corporate suck ups.
+VitalyMack....I agree he'd have had nothing to do with the Libertarian Party. He was no great fan of any political party. But ultimately he WAS a libertarian (small l, not capitol L). The difference between the small l and capitol L is important. Changes the entire meaning of the word.
kris littledale i hear you. Most people almost always assume the political party when libertarian is used. But then I think you are right, he is an anarchist through and through.
Not even really an anarchist. He was a libertarian with a small 'l". He despised government and political parties and felt all people should have the RIGHT to do whatever they wanted so long as it didn't harm anyone but themselves. That is a very libertarian concept.
Just for ships and grins....The Good Doctor even had a few nice words for Richard Nixon in "Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72". Not many folks remember that.
kris littledale my understanding of the term libertarian is during the 19th century the term anarchy was outlawed, so a famous magazine renamed their publication as Libertarian instead of Anarchist to stay in business. And the term stuck.
Love that book by the way.
I'm 73 and read Hunter in real time, and came quickly to love the crazy bastard. If I may, a counter-point: I have little doubt had some crazy fucks invaded Woody Creek and blew up Hunter's home, he would have hunted them down and shot 'em all in the head. And justifiably so. As was going to Afghanistan to shoot all those crazy fuckers in the head. Eye for an eye, right Hunter? The problem, as it is in most if not all wars, is the insatiable bloodlust for more.
I'm also a veteran. But believe, as Hunter and many other luminaries did and still do, that war is the ultimate manifestation of mankind's insanity. And no small reason why I still enjoy psychedelics.
Sounds like Dr. Michael Salla interviewing the late great Dr. Thompson
Can you believe new film footage about that day has just been released! We want our country back.
He sounds like he had almost entirely given up on the state of the movement. And who could blame him after the 80s and 90s.
Ask the question....
let the man talk.
You are obscure.
Hunter is the opposite.
10:54 I hear a voice.????? Somebody saying all right?????? Sounds crazy 👁🤐
sound like saying alright to someone else, perhaps someone handed him a drink haha
4:57 why does this always happen to truther videos?
he is dropping clues and nobody is picking up what hes putting down
It would be nice to have a real investigation in regards to his alleged “suicide”, The last piece of journalism he was workIng on was The 911 incident where he proclaimed “I think I’ve found the smoking gun in this 911 story” (WTC Buliding 7) Shortly after making this statement he was “suicided” a manner of death in which he had only weeks before stated “would never happen by his own hand.” It would appear that the rogue intelligence apparatus caught wind of his investigation & silenced him permanently. With 20 years hindsight, it appears that he was truly a martyr & deserves Justice.
@@technotodd3351 Hunter spoke about killing himself all his life and he wasn't shy about letting people know. You can find footage of him planning his own funeral when he was in his 30s.
@@technotodd3351 Thompson killed himself and there is not one bit of evidence that shows anything different.
I wish HST was alive to witness Covid and the war in Ukraine my good God.
He'd be tearing Biden to bits.
10:53 10:54 I hear a spirit talking?
Its ALWAYS the US government !!
Whose brilliant idea as it to play music over the interview? Unnecessary. Ruins it. But if you had to insert music, at least have the sense to make the volume significantly lower than that of the speaker.
This man was assassinated
Justice will be served brother we'll take these bastards to the brink
Explain
no he wasn't
He took his own life. He had to watch illness take his own Dad and he was adamant not to let that happen to him
His kid even said his Dad said their whole lives that was the plan.
I agree.
less dumb pictures/quotes
fantastic upload otherwise
LOL 20:55
goddamn it where is the version of this without this bullshit music and disgusting cartoon bullshit at the beginning. ugh, fucking hell, the internet really, really fucking sucks these days.
Poor guy was going senile. Embarrassing to hear him blab about these conspiracy theories.
you are a dumb ass
this guy was the umbrella man on the grassy nole he was cia with g bush a he beat the hell out of g bush after bush murdered jfk
use your head for something besides a hat rack 🤠
@@txbigdawg
He musta been an alien of the dumbass species. And he populated the planet abundantly now in the end of 2021, since his dipshititus comment :D
@@txbigdawg this dude is definitelyyyy not cia, wouldn’t be surprised if he was involved with the Russians tho simply because he was dividing the country and spreading the counter culture movement (even if he was spitting fax)
Dude was on that shit for sure. Mad respect how he called the Bush cartel out exactly how it went down. Miss this dude tremendously.
