COMMENT: Birds of a feather flock together. That characterizes a recent appearance by 9/11 “Truther” Richard Gage at a function of Louis Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam. A life-long Republican, Gage has been pushing the untenable thesis of the “controlled demolition” of the World Trade Center.
That drivel should fit nicely into Farrakhan’s virulently anti-Semitic, fascist world view. (Many of the so-called “Truthers” are pushing the “Mossad did it” view of 9/11.)
For some background on this delightful duo, check out FTR #21 outlining Farrakhan’s highly suspicious behavior with regard to the assassination of Malcolm X, whose mantle Farrakhan assumed.
For a debunking of the controlled demolition of the World Trade Center by one of the leading authorities in the field, check out FTR #599. Be sure to check out the video of a 12-story building in Dallas being imploded, in order to see and hear what a controlled demolition looks like.
The 83-minute video of Gage and the Nation of Islam is here.

Farrakhan’s closet holds too many skeletons to be anyone’s reference who wants to preserve their own reputation. Is Farrakhan still getting money from Coors or Hunt or Koch or whoever it was? Is he still pals with white supremacists? Gage has strange preferences for podium mates.
@dwight: A very good question to ask, TBH. Dave has covered the subject of ‘strange bedfellows’ from time to time over the past ~25 years and has done a really good job doing so.
@Mike: Well, all I can say is, look at the overall evidence. Frankly, I was pretty devoted to the controlled demolition theory myself until about a couple of years ago.
Please brother Dwight, the honorable Louis Farrakhan would never sell his brother to the white man.
He would sell them, quite literally as slaves, to the genocidal regime in South Sudan.
Please see links for documentation.

@Vanfield: Simply horrible. I guess his ethnic supremacism wouldn’t prevent him from supporting the oppression of certain of his fellow blacks, huh? Just like the white supremacists don’t really give two shits about anyone not in their group or sympathetic to it, at least. Thanks for the info. So sad. =(
@Vanfield: Your commentary comes in greatly. Imagine that Louis Farrakhan gave a conference before 600 students last week-end where he said: “Don’t be friends with Jews, Jews were behind black slavery”. The fact is that Farrakhan is covering the tracks of his fellow Muslim brothers in Africa who are the ones who conduct black slavery. Often, black slaves are Muslim themselves. Charles Jacob talks here on this issue with Frank Gaffney, of the Center for Security Policy, during his show Secure Freedom Radio. Definitely, that Farrakhan is despicable:
