"Hunter S. Thompson assassinated" theory.

For the conspiracy theorists, some juicy food for thought.

> ALEX JONES: We're talking to a renowned journalist and writer, Paul
> William Roberts. Wrote a story for The Globe & Mail up in Canada
> where he talked about Hunter S. Thompson before he died mysteriously
> a few weeks ago, saying he believed the government may have been
> involved in 9/11, and he was concerned. He lived basically in a
> little armored compound... now they're saying he committed suicide.
>
> But Paul has also interviewed people like Saddam Hussein; has written
> on the subject -- just this whole global empire...
>
> CALLER "Scott from Texas": I was just wondering if you guys might be
> able to clear up something I heard through the journalist Sherman
> Skolnick. He is reporting that another story or book, I don't
> remember exactly which, that Hunter S. Thompson was working on was
> about this gay prostitution ring in the White House and supposedly
> that was another touchy topic that he brought out, and the whole...
>
> JONES: Had you heard that from Hunter?
>
> PAUL WILLAM ROBERTS: Yeah, I had heard that quite a lot from Hunter.
> It goes back to Kissinger, I believe.
>
> JONES: Wow.
>
> Now that's a big confirmation. Now for those who don't know, We have
> Washington Times articles from 1989, you know -- 'underage call boys
> in the White House', and so this is serious . .. Hunter was working
> on that?
>
> ROBERTS: Yeah, in fact Lyndon LaRouche published some stuff about
> that. And although, you know, a lot of his material was not that
> trustworthy, in this particular case there were a lot of sources
> cited and there was no lawsuit. And where there's no lawsuit you can
> be almost guaranteed that it's true.
>
> CALLER: And I'm wondering if that might not be a hotter issue
> otherwise, because you get into the Jeff Gannon case and the whole
> gay prostitution and that's a national security issue.
>
> JONES: Well, Skolnick is saying that now, we're talking about some of
> the fake reporters, and we know that ... again I haven't confirmed
> that part of the story but i'd like 2 get some conf on that
>
> CALLER: And also it's interesting too because it dovetails with Jeff
> Gannon possibly being the leak that leaked the story about Valerie
> Plame...
>
> JONES: Well let me just add this. I mean, we have the New York
> Post: 'Top gay porn star services moguls at Bohemian Grove... I mean
> I have Parade magazine articles, Spy magazine articles from the 80s
> where, as I said they bus in the gay prostitutes like Beluga caviar
> for our "Christian conservative" leaders... And is that what Hunter
> S. Thompson was on to?
>
> ROBERTS: He certainly knew all about that and I believe had written
> about it. I don't know wheher there was a book in the works, but he
> certainly had published columns on it...
>
> JONES: Well it certainly looks pretty suspicious. Man let me tell
