Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura, says its possible the U.S. government is intentionally inflaming the current turmoil in the Middle East.
Who knows what caused it? Lets remember the CIAs job is to go out and create wars, Ventura told The Daily Caller during an extensive interview.
Pressed on whether he really believes the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency orchestrated the attacks on Americas embassies in the Middle East, Ventura said, I have no idea, but I dont trust my government if thats what youre asking me. Theyve lied to me too many times recently.
Ventura, author most recently of DemoCRIPS and ReBLOODlicans: No More Gangs in Government, listed a number of incidents in which he believes the government lied to the American people.
How do I believe them when all that comes out of there are, lies, lies and more lies? he asked. Their credibility is zero with me now. I cant tell you what caused this stuff. Who knows what underlying is going on?
Ventura lamented what he sees as American meddling around the world.
Well, I think us mingling in all these countries affairs I mean, we have military bases in what, 160 countries throughout the world? Thats an empire, he said.
Whatever the cause of the turmoil, Ventura argued that the U.S. should leave the Middle East entirely and end all foreign aid. When asked if he meant that we should leave all embassies around the world, he quickly responded, yep, although he later clarified that he thinks we should only abandon embassies in countries where were not wanted.
