A hard Leftist such as Cynthia McKinney has trouble acknowledging that people belonging to one of the Left’s favored victim groups, Muslims, could have been responsible for 9/11. It was much more likely to have been people from a group she hates, and so, in keeping with the Left’s increasing anti-Semitism, she blames Jews.
“Former US Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney Tweets That ‘Zionists’ Did 9/11,” by Benjamin Kerstein, Algemeiner, June 28, 2021 (thanks to the Geller Report):
Former US Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, who has long been noted for antisemitic and conspiratorial statements, tweeted on Monday that “Zionists” committed the September 11, 2001 terror attacks.
McKinney — who served in Congress from 1993-2003 and 2005-2007 as a Democratic Representative from Georgia — posted an image to Twitter on Monday showing the twin towers of the World Trade Center ablaze on 9/11, presented as a jigsaw puzzle.
Over the words “the final piece of the puzzle,” a hand inserts the last piece, forming the words “Zionists did it.”
It was not the first time McKinney has engaged in antisemitism.
In May 2020, she posted several Holocaust denying tweets. Linking to an article from the Israeli daily Haaretz that explored the issue of how the number of victims of the Holocaust was calculated, she commented, “So, the figure wasn’t six million after all?? What about those punished and even imprisoned for saying so?? Is this a ‘You can’t say, but I can’ kind of thing??”…
McKinney has accused Israel of genocide; referred to the pro-Israel lobby as a “ruthless” entity that “rears its ugly head in too many facets of life in this country, particularly political life” and engineered her political defeats; and personally met with representatives of Hezbollah and Hamas.
She also referred to US President Donald Trump as a “Zionist puppet.”

Conspiracy theory, anyone ? Yoo-hoo, Dementia-crats! Your dementia is showing! It’s not just your frail, crumbling leader who is DEMENTED … many of the Dems are in an advanced dementia as well … like ANTI-SEMITE Cynthia McKinney.
As Jesse Jackson (another Dementia-crat favorite said, ‘Hymie-town’ (i.e. New York City).
Why would any Jew (secular, atheist or otherwise) vote for the ANTI-SEMITIC PARTY OF USA … the DEMENTIA-CRATS ???
Mike says
voting is the great question. Let me explain it from the people I know. I don’t care about politics I’ve been told. So I still vote. My Mom and Dad voted DNC for ever so I still vote DNC. I’ve asked these very people that question and for one they do not like DJT yet but Mom and Dad votes DNC so I don’t want to talk about it
Jillian says
I am Jewish and my mom and family used to vote DNC. When we saw what was going on, the whole family left DNC ! Does your family and you read the news? CNN and the rest don’t count!
Sabri S. says
No conspiracy at all. Israel/Mossad DID do 9/11, and only idiots think otherwise. I have worked in construction. Ne buildings can collapse like that unless it is a CONTROLLED EXPLOSION.
The 3rd building wasn’t even hit at all and collapsed with the other two. It is ridiculous that your garbage government paraded the faces of 19 arabs the very next day. Who are you infidels lying to? Yourselves or us muslims. Smart people know the truth, and we always will.
CogitoErgoSum says
So you are saying Osama bin Laden was an idiot? He sure seemed to believe he and his 19 Muslim “martyrs” did it. The thing with you, Sabri S., is that dumb people don’t know how dumb they are. Even worse, the really sad part is that it is most likely you will always be dumb and you are the one lying to yourself.
Lion heart says
There is an Egyptian saying applies to this scum Sabri and goes like this “ are you an idiot or pretending to be so “ he is a Muslim born with conspiracy theory which is embedded in the Quran ! Just like midline who claimed that ISIS were created by USA but by Islam ?
Lion heart says
There is an Egyptian saying goes like this “ are you an idiot or pretending to be so ? “ it applies to this scum called Sabri ! He is a Muslim born with conspiracy theory that’s embedded in the Quran so what do you expect ? the same mentality who say that ISIS were created by USA not Islam ?
john smith says
Well said Cogito, “that dumb people don’t know how dumb they are.”
gravenimage says
Not only that, CogitoErgoSum–there were also Muslims all over the world dancing, cheering, and handing out candies. But Sabri S. is claiming that they were celebrating the actions of Mossad. D’oh!
Giacomo Latta says
Where can I get a copy of your self-penned ”expert” study of building collapses? Smart people do know the truth, but where do you fit in?
Golem2 says
Don’t hurt Yourself with that 70 I.Q.
gravenimage says
The idea that Sabri S. has worked in construction is pretty scary. Let’s hope he was just digging ditches and cleaning up around the dumpster…
Besides, Sabri S. has confirmed many times that Muslims have the right to murder all Infidels who don’t submit to Islam. That he feels compelled to sling Taqiyya here is laughable.

JohnTheRevelator says
We no longer live in a democracy, it’s now a thugocracy. In a well-functioning democracy, people with extremist, fringe views should be automatically disqualified from holding office.
Think about it, the vast majority of people around 60-80% based on polls, support Israel. Does it make any sense that Israel haters should be allowed to determine gov’t policies that have real and serious consequences on the Jewish state?
No, they’re supposed to represent the will of the people which they’re not doing. We should have laws to immediately fire/remove someone for holding antisemitic views. People who hate Jews tend to be fascists as well, so it’s not just Israel that will suffer but the rest of us….just look at Nazi Germany for proof. Those nutjobs were a tiny minority until they took power and started WW2 and the Holocaust.
So fascists should never be underestimated. They’re now in power in many totalitarian regimes, esp Communist and Islamic. That’s not the kind of world I want to live in.
tim gallagher says
What a nutcase this woman is. Good photo of her. She looks a little crazy in the photo. What alarms me about this fuckwit is that she was in Congress for 12 years. That is alarming. She no doubt has that form of lunacy, common to those brilliant Muslim “scholar” types of morons, where Zionists are responsible for absolutely everything bad that happens in the world. Of course, she believes that the Israel lobby “engineered her political defeats”. Well, of course that must be it. It couldn’t possibly her own idiocy, her own shortcomings. I’m puzzled how such a lunatic, with such demented views, could be in Congress for 12 years. That’s a definite worry.
gravenimage says
Tim, McKinney blames Israel for her being out of Congress.
tim gallagher says
Yeah, I noticed that, gravenimage, where she says that the Israel lobby “engineered her political defeats”. As I said in my comment below this, this woman is the type of lunatic who, if she stubbed her toe on something,she’d blame the Jews. It sounds like the way Hitler used to think of things, totally obsessional. I was amazed that she managed to have 12 years in Congress. That’s alarming. Unrelated to this, I think you have mentioned that you live in the Bay area, which I guess is not that far from San Francisco. The American reporter, Harley Carnes, on 2GB talkback radio here this morning, mentioned that 40% of the population of San Francisco want to leave the city, and it was because of the crime there, large numbers of threatening homeless people, and the police force being cut back. I visited San Francisco back in the early 1980s, and thought it was a very attractive city, as everyone does, so I thought that this was pretty bad news. Have you heard about lots of people wanting to get out of that city?
gravenimage says
Tim, I was born in San Francisco and grew up there, and then lived there again as a young adult when I met my husband. It is beautiful, but it is also insanely expensive and often just insane now. I live across the bay in Oakland (often compared to Manhattan and Brooklyn, if that helps).
Oakland had been getting safer and safer over the past thirty years–I had assumed that this was a trend that was going to continue.
But then the pandemic hit, with conditional jail releases first of just non-violent prisoners (which I largely agreed with–no one wants someone like Martha Stewart to come down with COVID-19 due to crowded jails), but then it extended willy-nilly to all sorts of very dangerous felons; then the riots and theft, with police largely told to stand by and not arrest anyone or even try to protect property; then “Defund the Police” insanity. The crime rate–including murder–*skyrocketed* here.
Just two recent accounts–shootings at the “Juneteenth” celebration at Lake Merritt–my husband had gone to a soccer game on the other side of the lake, and he considered taking this route home but then went another way–he would have been there at just about this time–still broad daylight. One killed and six wounded–it is thought that this was an attack by a San Francisco drug gang on rivals.
She is a liberal, but the mayor here is actually pretty sane. She responded to this violence by proposing an increase in the police budget. The “Defund the Police” faction blocked this common sense budget:
The Oakland City Council slashed $18 million from the police budget.
Then, just today there was an attack on a news crew here interviewing the anti-violence official:
“Robbery attempt disrupts Oakland anti-violence official’s interview with news crew”
https://www.abc10.com/article/news/crime/robbery-oakland-anti-violence/103-2519c48e-6b45-4355-86d1-52be1adea6c0
This happened on the steps of city hall, in broad daylight, and right in front of a security guard. How emboldened is this?
They tried to steal the news crew’s camera. The guard pulled his gun and was able to drive them away.
And this is not happening just in California. Another news crew was filming in the newly named George Floyd Square in Minneapolis and you could suddenly hear gunfire.
This is what happens when you allow this lawlessness–it emboldens more of the same.
I hope nothing like this is happening in Australia.
tim gallagher says
Thanks for that information, gravenimage. The presenter on the radio said, as a teaser, large numbers of people want to leave San Francisco and I thought, I wonder what that’s about. I thought, maybe worries about earthquakes in the future. Yeah, this de-funding the police sounds like insanity to me. Actually, with all these BLM and Antifa violent riots,etc, I was thinking that, in general, in the USA things were not going that well in some areas. Things seem very divided and in violent ways. A month or so back, a guy I have know from childhood days came to play golf with us. His sister moved to the USA ages ago and lives somewhere near Los Angeles. She married an American guy and has a couple of grown up kids. I asked how she was going and he said that she recently said to him that she liked living over there until recently, but lately, with the lawlessness and all that, she no longer is enjoying life there. I can imagine San Francisco would be very expensive. Those wooden Victorian houses are very beautiful and I imagine very expensive. I don’t like cold weather much and it was bit cold for me. This will sound like a bit of nonsense, or ultra patriotism , which is not really in my character, but, though San Francisco harbour is very attractive, Sydney harbour is more beautiful. Maybe it is more that we get so many cloudless days with brilliant sunshine , which I love, though we get a lot of skin cancer because of it. Things are not bad out here. Guns are not around in such big numbers I’d say, though we do get some crime gangs, very often Lebanese Muslims, shooting one another dead over who will run the drug trade. etc. Thanks for the information. I thought you would know what that report about people wanting to leave San Francisco was about. 40% wanting to leave is pretty shocking.
Infidel says

When I lived in the Bay Area in the late 90s and early 00s, Oakland was one of the places my friends would advise me to avoid. Another was East Palo Alto, and then, there was the Mission District in San Francisco. I had friends who lived in Alameda, Emeryville and Berkeley, and they did get more specific about which areas of Oakland to avoid e.g. the Naval dockyards. So normally, when I drove, I didn’t take any Nimitz exits into Oakland, and similarly, I’d usually avoid University Avenue or Dumbarton Bridge to avoid East Palo Alto. And for San Francisco, I’d usually take the 280 and then the Embarcadero to avoid those areas
Libby Shaft is far more than merely ‘Liberal’: she was also the mayor who tipped off illegal aliens to avoid getting nabbed by ICE, and some time back, she also came up w/ a pretty blatantly racist policy of giving grants to BIPOC people affected by the Chinavirus. In short, she’s every bit as woke as the rest, except maybe for this defunding the police bit
gravenimage says
Tim, both San Francisco and Sydney are beautiful. As for that poll, it is here:
“Poll: San Francisco Residents Consider Relocating As Crime Worsens, Quality Of Life In A Decline”
https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2021/06/30/poll-san-francisco-residents-consider-relocating-as-crime-worsen-quality-of-life-in-a-decline/
The biggest issues here are homelessness, home (and rent) costs. and–in the past year–skyrocketing crime.
gravenimage says
Infidel, I was living in the Mission when I met my husband 30 years ago. An area that was gentrifying, arty, and residually dangerous all at the same time. Until this last year, I would have said that Oakland is very safe in some neighborhoods–but now the violence has spread almost everywhere. A lot of bay areans have moved to Oakland over the past several decades because it is generally more affordable than San Francisco and Berkeley.
As for Libby Shaaf, I was speaking re the general standards of the region. She is less insane than those who want to completely defund the police. This does *not* means that I support all of her policies.
tim gallagher says
Yes, gravenimage, that would be the poll that Harley Carnes commented on yesterday morning. Today it was, of course, Bill Cosby’s release and Donald Rumsfeld’s death. The crime seems out of control. People are starting to leave Sydney as well. I think it is more the traffic and hassles of a big city. And, talk about expensive house prices. I think the average price of a house in Sydney is now over $1 million. The prices are insane and many young people don’t have a chance of buying a house unless their parents can help them. Luckily I bought my house years ago before the prices went mad. If I were still working and had to commute, as i said to one of my sisters a couple of weeks back, I would probably decide to get out of Sydney. The traffic is hellish, but I’m not part of it most of the time. Also, on people leaving cities, there is this working from home on computers, so many people, or so I hear, are able to clear out and live a peaceful life away from the city, and people are taking up that option..This defunding the police idea in the USA seems to me to be one of the most ludicrous and dangerous ideas ever.
gravenimage says
Same here, Tim. My husband and I bought our home in a nice but not fancy neighborhood just a little over 20 years ago. We could not afford to buy anything like it today.
You are right about “defunding the police”. This takes Leftism to a really unhinged level. The term is American, but the idea is modern European. We can see how this is working out, especially with Jihad terror.
tim gallagher says
Yes, on that defunding the police idea. On the “Outsiders” program they have discussed it a bit and have said that, of course, it will really mainly effect the people trying to run businesses in poorer areas (including many black people) whose shops will be targets for the looters, etc. I can vaguely remember video they showed of a black woman, who I think owned a shop, and it had been looted by the BLM rioters, or maybe the Antifa mob, and she was quite rightly complaining about what they done to her small business. I suspect that it won’t be long before people do realise what an unbelievably stupid move defunding the police is. People will be unnecessarily murdered and hurt before people do wake up though and the decision is reversed.
gravenimage says
True, Tim. Rising crime hits poor neighborhoods more than anyone–including black on black crime.
wpm says
The crazy part is that we still have people in democratic congress seats from red states that still buy this lunacy.
Keith O says
Once again Tim, you took the words out of my mouth.
As for pollies with lunatic views, just remember, we have a prime minister who thinks that his god speaks directly to him and tells him how to run Australia into the ground.
tim gallagher says
Thanks for the comment, Keith O. I’m happy to say that I don’t think we have anyone in Australian politics who is as nutty as this woman. Talk about having a bee in her bonnet when it comes to Jewish people and Israel. She seems to be the sort of person who, If she stubbed her toe on something, she would blame the Jews. I am a Christian myself, Keith, not a particularly good one, so I don’t mind Scott Morrison being a Christian, but I have never liked those noisy Pentecostal type churches, such as the one he is involved with. I like a quieter atmosphere, so, to me, those noisy Hillsong type churches do look pretty stupid and annoying. But, as a Christian believer, I have to say that I talk to God. If there is no God at all, then I spend quite a bit of time talking to myself. Shit,maybe I’m mad. More than likely I am. I certainly have been insane at some points in my life. But I don’t get around blaming Jews or anyone else for everything that goes wrong. Whether there is a God or not, I guess we’ll all find out for sure only when we die. Until then it is only faith. It’s the unknowable. On the issue of whether Australia is being run into the ground, I keep hearing that Australia is doing well economically, from some experts, but I have trouble believing that it is going well in the long run.
gravenimage says
Tim, generally things have gotten worse with American politics and such loons as “The Squad”. One of the few bright spots is the unhinged Cynthia McKinney being out of office. Of course, she’s tried to blame the Jews for this as well.
tim gallagher says
Thanks for for the comment, gravenimage. The photos that I see of that AOC character here at Jihad Watch certainly seem to show an unhinged person, although I guess she has a lot of very angry people who follow and support her, so they probably love the over the top rage she seems to show on her face. Getting rid of this McKinney woman has to be a step in the right direction.

tim gallagher says,
“She seems to be the sort of person who, If she stubbed her toe on something, she would blame the Jews.”
Priceless, tim!
tim gallagher says
Thanks, James. It is true though about people like this clown. A definite bee in her bonnet about the Jewish people and about israel. During my life, I have come across two people who had this bizarre obsession with the Jews. One was a Christian whose background was Hungarian who I knew from university, (way back in the early 1970s) and the other was a Muslim from Iraq that I worked with around 20 years ago. It is such a strange, and dangerous, way to view things. What amazed me about this woman in this report was that she had such a long career in the Congress. 12 years of this crackpot. Extraordinary.
gravenimage says
She seems to be the sort of person who, If she stubbed her toe on something, she would blame the Jews.
……………
Tim, this is *literally* true with many Muslims. Ayaan Hirsi Ali lived in Saudi Arabia as a young girl, and the neighbors would blame the Jews if their car wouldn’t start, if they had problems with the plumbing, and even if their boss was angry.
They seemed to consider Jews more like supernatural Jinn than fellow human beings. Needless to say, none of them had ever met a Jewish person.
tim gallagher says
Yes, what you say there is extraordinary. Very primitive way of thinking for people in our modern age. I was pretty amazed at how preoccupied those two people that I knew were with Jewish people. It is a dangerous mentality to have, that’s for sure.
gravenimage says
True, Tim. This is magical thinking–and not of the rather more benign lucky pennies and carrying a rabbit foot sort of way, either. Islam is not just irrational, but irrational in such ugly ways.

Former Rep. Cynthia McKinney on 9/11: ‘Zionists did it’
……………
This is hideous, but should not surprise. She has perviously blamed President George Bush for the attacks.
And she has long blamed Israel for JIhad terror. This, from five years ago:
“Cynthia McKinney Blames Israel for Europe Terror Attacks in Bizarre Tweet”
https://forward.com/news/breaking-news/345925/former-georgia-congresswoman-claims-in-tweet-israel-responsible-for-france/
She has long been anti-Israel, and loves Hamas:
https://www.adl.org/resources/backgrounders/cynthia-mckinneys-anti-israel-campaign
She’s called Israel a “failed state” for being concerned about security. She is also a Holocaust denier. She’s also bizarrely blamed Israel for her failed reelection bid.
Infidel says
I keep confusing her w/ Maxine Waters. I’m probably a White Supremacist for not being able to tell them apart
gravenimage says
Infidel, your confusing the two is not that surprising.
Waters has links to crazed antisemite Muslim Louis Farrakhan, and attended a Nation of Islam conference where he defended suicide bombers.
She praised Fidel Castro. She told people to harass and refuse service to Trump supporters. She has described the murderous Rodney King riots as a “rebellion”. She demanded more riots if Derek Chauvin didn’t receive what she considered a long enough sentence.
As for 9/11, she has characterized it as a “day of service” and has never named a perpetrator one way or another. One of those who treats 9/11 like some sort of natural disaster or something.
Raja says
Islam means business when it comes to propaganda, lies, deceit and scheming.
Because of this conspiracy theory , Millions believe 4000 Jews stayed away from the World Trade Centre on September 11. Harmless conspiracy theory? Or sign of a virulent venom being spread by “best of the peoples”?
Raja says
Thank God, the electorates ensured her defeat.She is beyond stupid and full of Islamic poison and hatred without cause.
Infidel says
That was a more intelligent electorate then, and that too in Georgia. Whereas in Minnesota and Michigan, it’s next to impossible to remove Omar and Tlaib, be it in primaries or general
BTeboe says
I drank the kool-aid believed that Muslims brought down the twin towers and then I started doing some of my own research. It appears that there a lot of coincidences that day. First the NYFD has a lawsuit going because jet fuel does not get hot enough to melt steel beams. I’m not saying that terrorists didn’t fly a plane into the building because they certainly did. But the complete collapse was done with a controlled demolition. Same with the second tower and the the third building. The steel beams had been cut with explosives. There are pictures on the Internet if anyone is interested in looking it up for themselves. The man who owned the buildings had just recently taken out a huge insurance policy on all three buildings. One article I read claimed that Jewish students were doing some kind of work in the walls of the Trade Center days before they fell. I am not an anti-Semite but it would not be the first time that international politics became entwined in our own, i.e. the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty during the 6 day war in 1967. There are plenty of articles on this incident also on the Internet. Now let’s move to the Pentagon and the alleged aircraft that attacked. The security cameras were all turned off that day, except one. If you watch the footage that was collected it is obvious that no plane hit the Pentagon. It was a missile and this is verified by a Gen Albert Stubblebine who witnessed the strike while standing outside. Now another interesting ‘coincidence’ Rumsfeld and gang were missing almost $3Trillion dollars from the defense bugdet. The part of the Pentagon that was attacked was where the audit was being conducted. One more plane allegedly was hijacked that day and went down in Shanksville PA. However there were no bodies, no luggage, no plane parts, there was nothing but a smoking hole in the ground. Aircraft are mainly composed of aluminum and would not have bored into the earth.
9/11 was probably the worst false flag ever perpetrated on this country. And there are bad actors from several countries pulling the strings. Shortly thereafter we went to war in Afghanistan and we are still there feeding the military/industrial complex and their bank accounts. Time for people to wake up. The false flags just keep coming to shape the narrative. We lost so many of our civil liberties after 9/11 under the guise of security. The plandemic has just about killed small businesses, no pun intended. The so called vaccines are actually the kill shot. Have you ever seen such hysteria about people getting vaccinated? The virus has a 99.5+% survivability rate. And there are safe effective drugs – ivermectin and HCQ that can be prescribed as both a cure and a prophylaxis for COVID. It was not the black plague like the media and politicians wanted everyone to believe. The United States is headed smack-dab to totalitarian communism. We need to be a defeated nation so the Constitution can be burned in the dumpster fire of what is left of this country. Trump derailed their plans for 4 years but they returned swinging. And they will keep swinging until we are all dead or slaves. ‘You will own nothing, and you will be happy.” Klaus Schwab
Rarely says
What an amazing coincidence !!! Let’s see…Jewish students planted explosives throughout the WTC and set them off shortly after 19 muslim terrorists flew their planes into the Towers. Also, a missile hit the Pentagon at the exact moment that a jet passenger plane in the area disappeared from radar and hasn’t been seen or heard from since.
You don’t believe in a conspiracy theory, you believe all of them.

What is BTeboe even doing here at Jihad Watch, if he believes that all Jihad terror attacks are actually “false flag” operations pulled off the Joooooooos? Note that he does not say.
