Exclusive: Jesse Ventura Talks with Alex Jones About Government Harassment of His TV Show

The military attempted to prevent Ventura and his crew from filming a stand-up at JFK's Eternal Flame.




In an exclusive interview on the Alex Jones Show today, Jesse Ventura will talk about the U.S. military's attempt to undermine his popular TruTV show, "Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura."

Jesse was prevented from filming a stand-up in front of the Eternal Flame at Arlington National Cemetery for an episode on government involvement in the JFK assassination. Despite the military ban, Ventura managed to film the segment. "I did it anyway," he told the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

"They felt I offended them with my last series, because I look into government things, Conspiracy Theory, my TV show," Ventura told Ann Sharpsteen of Scripps News. Sharpsteen posted a video of her interview with Ventura on YouTube earlier in the week (see video below).

Ventura told Sharpsteen he went through "proper channels" in order to film at the Eternal Flame. He was subsequently told by the military that he would not be allowed to film "because we don't like your television show," accord to Ventura.

The U.S. Army's Public Affairs Office in Los Angeles, which acts as a liaison to the entertainment industry, told Kevin Diaz of the Minneapolis Star Tribune that JFK's final resting place is "hallowed ground" and off limits to the media. "We don't allow stand-ups next to the eternal flame for anyone," explained Ken Hawes, director of the U.S. Army's Public Affairs Office.

JFK's Eternal Flame has appeared in countless television shows and movies. As part of the National Park Service, Arlington National Cemetery and JFK's Eternal Flame are open to the public.

Hawes said that the government does not think it proper to cooperate with a show alleging that JFK's death was an inside government job. He denied Ventura's assertion that they turned the ex-governor down simply because they don't like his show, according to Diaz.

"The bottom line is we said we didn't want to be part of his television program," Hawes told the newspaper. "We support all kinds of programs, but that one was just a little out of bounds." In other words, the military will now decided who will be allowed to film at the Eternal Flame and permission will be predicated on what is politically acceptable to the government.

Jesse was in D.C. earlier in the week complaining about the incident of military-imposed censorship. The former Minnesota governor has complained about the incident to "every congressman I run into."

Jesse will also talk with Alex about efforts by the Department of Homeland Security to prevent his crew from filming at other sites.

  • sorry for my previous comments TheresaKelly , I was out of order. You are right about people having the right to believe what they want and i do believe there is a creator but i feel as if some people force the bible on others as a givin that all the things in there actually happened . But all the best anyway, take care.

  • @Marleyboy82 The BEAUTY OF FREEDOM, is FREEDOM OF BELIEF. I don't care if someone is Muslim, Christian, Jewish or otherwise....when you speak as you do, you make yourself out to be an intolerant bigot towards persons of faith. Honey, it was God Fearing, honerable men that made this country great, men like Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, Knoll Webster... or are you ignorant of their writings as well?

  • @Marleyboy82, I'd rather be thought a fool in then eyes of men then a fool in the eyes of God! You open your mouth and leave no doubt to both!
