What happened in this episode?
In this wide-ranging episode of Redacted, host Clayton Morris interviewed legendary Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters about the Campbell family's UK Supreme Court case seeking to reopen the inquest into the death of Jeff Campbell, a British citizen killed on September 11, 2001. Waters, who has personally donated substantial funds to support the legal effort, stated plainly that the Twin Towers and Building 7 were brought down by controlled demolition orchestrated by either the US government or Israel, not by aircraft impacts, and called this case potentially the most important moment in the quest for 9/11 truth. Waters accused the UK Attorney General of blocking the investigation to protect a global ruling class and drew parallels to what he sees as systemic judicial corruption. The conversation expanded into broader critiques of perpetual war, with Waters tracing the profit motive back to the Rothschild banking dynasty's discovery that financing both sides of conflicts between nation-states was supremely profitable. He warned that Vice President JD Vance is completely controlled by billionaire Peter Thiel and Palantir, and that a Vance presidency would hand effective power to tech oligarchs building a surveillance state. Waters also discussed his political awakening regarding Israel-Palestine after visiting the West Bank in 2006, calling Israel a racist state and noting his father warned about Zionist settlements in Palestine as early as 1934. Throughout, Waters emphasized the existential battle between those seeking truth and love versus a ruling class profiting from hatred and war, calling on citizens to read extensively, resist propaganda, and support efforts like the Campbell case that could expose fundamental truths about power.
