After delivering a speech at the “General Conference for the Support of Al-Quds”, Mahathir Mohamad, the former Prime Minister of Malaysia shared his suspicions that the 11 September 2001 attacks on the US were staged to provide “an excuse to mount attacks on the Muslim world” with a press conference:
I am not sure now that Muslim terrorists carried out these attacks. There is evidence that the attacks were staged.
If they can make Avatar, they can make anything.
Meanwhile Hugo Chávez has accused the United States of America of using the recent earthquake in Haiti as an excuse to invade the latter country:
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez claimed Wednesday that the United States is using the devastating quake that hit Haiti last week to occupy the Caribbean nation.
‘The United States government is using a humanitarian tragedy to militarily occupy Haiti. I read somewhere that they even occupied the government palace,’ Chavez complained as he launched a cable car system for poor neighbourhoods in Caracas.
The left-wing populist Venezuelan, an outspoken critic of US policies, said the United States should be sending more doctors and medicine than soldiers.
‘Cuba has more doctors in Haiti than the United States,’ he said.
Chávez is not alone. Other pseudo-Leftist representatives have made similar claims. Associated Press reports:
Venezuela, Bolivia and Nicaragua—all three led by anti-US governments—claimed Washington was using the international relief operation in Haiti as cover for a military takeover.
