Good morning.
Thursday in Whitewater will be partly cloudy with a high of 77. Sunrise is 6:30 and sunset is 7:11, for 12 hours, 41 minutes of daytime. The moon is a waning gibbous with 81.3 percent of its visible disk illuminated.
On this day in 2001, the September 11 attacks, a series of coordinated terrorist attacks kill 2,977 people using four aircraft hijacked by 19 members of al-Qaeda. Two aircraft crash into the World Trade Center in New York City, a third crashes into The Pentagon in Arlington County, Virginia, and a fourth into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
Sen. Ron Johnson, having previously spread lies about the 9/11 attacks, now encourages others to do so:
On the eve of the 24th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson sought to encourage those promoting unsubstantiated theories about the tragedy to continue to investigate it.
He told a crowd of about 75 people gathered in northwest Washington to pursue the “truth” about the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people and suggested the government was covering up key details about the events. Still, he said he’s unsure if the “full truth could ever be possibly revealed.”
“I know a lot of people have theories,” Johnson said Wednesday evening.

Johnson has previously questioned how World Trade Center 7, a third building in downtown Manhattan, could have collapsed in “any other way than a controlled demolition” since it was not directly hit by a plane.
“What actually happened at 9/11?” Johnson asked during an interview with the MAGA podcaster Benny Johnson in April. “What do we know? What is being covered up? My guess is there is an awful lot being covered up in terms of what the American government knows about 9/11.”
The National Institute of Standards and Technology, whose investigation into the collapse Johnson has called corrupt, determined that debris from the destruction of the Twin Towers started fires on floors of Building 7. The sprinkler system failed, and heat from the flames meant a structural column failed, ultimately causing the whole building to fall.

Johnson is an ignorant man who believes that asking questions and spreading doubt makes him a knowledgeable man. There’s a FREE WHITEWATER category dedicated to Johnson‘s past conspiracy theories, a catalog of his errors and lies. See also Ron Johnson Thinks the U.S. Government Was Behind 9/11.
