Palmer disendorses conspiracy theorist
Tony Pecora claimed 9/11 may have been the work of the US government.
A United Australia Party candidate who claimed the September 11 attacks may have been the work of the US government has been dumped from the party.
Tony Pecora, the UAP candidate for the seat of Melbourne, called for an investigation into the attacks, which killed almost 3000 people, claiming it was the work of “globalist forces” and that “the whole story doesn’t make sense”.
The comments were made during an interview with the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, which led to Mr Pecora’s disendorsement this evening.
“Further investigation needs to be done,” Mr Pecora said today. “It is unprecedented in the history of modern construction for a building just to fall down like that at free fall speed.”
“You have sections of the US government that killed JFK,” Mr Pecora said. “You have sections of the US government that maybe do not have the US constitution as their sole focus. Maybe they are working alongside globalist forces.”
Mr Pecora blamed “central banking cartels” as the driving force behind globalism, saying there was a “civil war” within the US government.
“If you look at the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank syndicate and why they are pushing the idea of climate change so strongly, it’s because having a global-based carbon taxation system is one of the most effective ways of centralising financial power,” he said.
Mr Pecora has previously voiced his opposition to mandatory child immunisation, saying to make vaccinations compulsory was “totalitarian”.
“It’s a very scary world when we are introducing policy that we have to inject heavy metals and what are live diseases into the bloodstream of infants,” he said. “That’s mandatory? Wow, that’s hardcore.”
Mr Palmer’s spokesman Andrew Crook confirmed that party leader Clive Palmer had disendorsed the candidate after hearing his comments on the terror attacks.
