McMurtry has previously supported 9/11 conspiracy theories to explain the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center . In one lecture , he drew comparisons to the event of the Reichstag fire and argued that the War in Afghanistan ( 2001 – present ) has been lobbied for and exploited by multinational corporations . In a 2015 article on Globalresearch.ca , he advocates that the World Trade Center Towers could have only been brought down via a controlled demolition
