Anvil’s Steve “Lips” Kudlow has been generating controversy as of late after pushing debunked conspiracy theories about the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. During an interview with Vladimir Čokorilo, the frontman stupidly claimed that the destruction was the result of a “perfect demolition job.”

Kudlow said the following about 9/11, while also making claims about the assassination of President Kennedy:

“At the end of the day, you can never hear the truth about what really happened. What really happened in 9/11? Obviously, there was three perfect demo jobs. You’ve gotta wonder, how the hell did they pull that off? How did they pull that off? It’s not just one building; it was three buildings. Perfect demolition jobs. And one of the buildings wasn’t even hit by the airplanes. Why is there no real inquiry to what really happened? Why are there no real answers? They say there are, but some of it just doesn’t add up. All I know is what I saw, and it looked to me, and still does, like it was purposely done and demolished perfectly. Perfect demolition. It’s, like, I don’t know, man. It’s really hard to believe, hard to believe all the facts that they don’t tell us. In the same way that it’s hard to believe that President Kennedy was shot with one bullet [note: Kennedy was struck by two bullets]. I mean, that that doesn’t make sense either, especially if you watch the footage that they have. From my perspective, it looked like he’s been hit twice, but I don’t know. I see him lurch backwards, I see him lurch forward, I see him get shot twice. I don’t know.”

He also made similar claims in a separate interview with Alma Hard, while discussing the inspiration behind songs like “Truth Is Dying” and “World Of Fools”:

“Frustration with having to deal with stupidity of watching… Watch the news. Just sit back and observe the world, and it frustrates you. So how do you get that frustration out? Write it in a song [Laughs]. I don’t understand this world in the sense that stuff that’s right in front of you, and you’re in denial that you’re seeing it, hearing it, knowing what the truths are.

Everybody watched three buildings in New York City get demolished — perfectly demolished — by airplanes hitting it. But meanwhile, those buildings were built specifically — specifically — to withstand an airplane hitting it. But then you ask your question, how can the top 10 floors take out every floor all the way down to the bottom perfectly? How does that work? When there’s no fire down there. The fire’s all at the top. Why is the floor and all the support from that building giving out? Because it was detonated by set-off internal explosions all the way down the building, and that’s why it fell perfectly. That’s a demolition job.

What does that mean? What does that mean? Well, it means a lot of stuff. And the world is going, ‘It’s okay. We believe the truth. The truth is two airplanes hit it and it just went down.’ Well, no airplane hit the other building over on Building Seven. Why did that collapse? ‘Oh, it had a fire.’ Okay. Looked like a demo job to me. Completely flattened from a fire? How many fires do you see completely flatten buildings? Usually they’re able to extinguish a fire and salvage a lot of things. This, nothing? Right to powder? Yeah, right. You watch an airplane apparently hitting the Pentagon — you can watch it on YouTube — and you’re going, how the hell does an airplane fly like three feet off the ground without landing? Well, that’s a good question, because it’s not an airplane.

Hey, who killed President Kennedy? How many bullets was he hit with? They said one. You watch the video and you can see it, plain as day, he’s been hit twice. What the hell? And no one does anything about it. No one says anything. Nothing changes. And then you’ve gotta ask yourself the question, even important than anything else: does knowing make any difference? Is the truth gonna even make any difference? No. It won’t. It won’t. It doesn’t. All the false flag, the craziness that this world has been capable of — all along, all kinds of things. And it gives me a wealth of things to write about. So, that’s part of what I do. I’m alive and it’s my take on what I’ve seen and observed. That’s what I do when I write music. And sometimes it’s a way of actually cleansing myself.”

He continued when asked who spreads false narratives:

“That’s a good question. I don’t think that you can even begin to answer it, because it’s only speculation. You can only guess. And even a guess, it doesn’t mean anything. Even if they came out and divulged the fact that it was an inside job, well, who exactly inside and what was the motive? We already know what the motive was. What happened as a result of 9/11? The whole world changed. That was the motive. To change the world. And it did. Eventually, everything comes out in the wash, but not everything. Not everything. What they allow or what we even care about. Because I think if we cared more, we’d find out more things, because we’d be demanding it.”
