As The Right Spins Its "False Flag" Flatus Let's Not Conflate Conspiracy Crackpots With Actual Conspiracy Theorists -Researchers

Alex Jones (left) is a conspiracy kook, while Mark Lane is a conspiracy analyst. It's time the scribes in the mainstream media began to learn the difference!

As noted in my post of Oct. 24, it was mere hours after the news broke that explosive devices had been sent to George Soros, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and other prominent Democrats, that  deranged conspiracy ideation  (I refuse to dignify it with the term 'theory') was spawned in certain corners of conservative media.  The bombs, according to this hogswill, were not actually part of a plot to harm Democrats, but were a “false flag” operation concocted by leftists in order to paint conservatives as violent radicals ahead of the elections next month.  As Matt Miller put it last night ('Last Word', MSNBC) "This is coming from conservative circles that this was somehow a liberal plot to distract from the caravan  which they believe is what the election ought to be about. So again, you have this idea that because they were Democratic targets it's not a national crisis, but something we can again fight over - which is obviously a really reprehensible idea."

Sound familiar? If it does you might recall it comes right out of the playbook of  über -kook Alex Jones who fabricated the false flag bunkum that the Sandy Hook/Newtown massacre was a federal "false flag" operation. Those twenty  kids weren't really slain, they were merely child actors- as well as the teachers- in an elaborate script to befuddle the public and make them demand gun confiscation across the land. (Jones was also one of the nitwits who confected the cockeyed conspiracy codswallop that the Parkland shooting victims, who became gun control activists-  were all actors.)

Many of these lowbrow kooks, which is what they are, were  also foursquare behind helping to spread Michael Flynn's  Pizzagate conspiracy, i.e. that Hillary Clinton was keeping child sex slaves in the basement of a D.C. pizza parlor and exploiting them.

So no one need be a Mensa brainiac to know the template for this latest false flag conspiracy B.S. has been in existence from the Right's stooges and trolls for some time. Hence, it ought to have been of minimal surprise to learn this latest iteration shares the same deranged heritage, or "DNA" if you will. In this case, a wacko named  Jacob Wohl-   a pro-Trump twit who writes for Gateway Pundit (a Right wing troll farm)-   tweeted  the  refuse that the assorted pipe bombs were props, planted by Democratic operatives and amplified by a biased liberal media.  In other words, all a ruse to drive voters to the Dems. No, folks, you cannot make this shit up, this is real and happening in Rightist Trump World.

One is led to inquire what engenders this degenerate crap.  What defects in the brains of these losers causes them to spawn such bollocks, say instead of applying what gray matter they have to researching real conspiracies?  Well, one answer is that researching the real ones - like the JFK assassination  - actually takes hundreds of man hours of real work.  Just plowing through Oswald's CIA files - e.g. the  OS-351- 164 file from his  201- 289 248 CI/SIG file or his 74-500 file. as reported in the Appendices of  John Newman’s book, ‘Oswald and the CIA’- can take hours.   It's a damned sight more exacting than merely scribbling  an imbecilic text on 4 Chan, Reddit or Gateway Pundit.

Sadly, columnist Kevin Roose, in a recent  NY  Times piece : ' False Flag Theory on Pipe Bombs Zooms From Right-Wing Fringe to Mainstream',  appeared not to be able to distinguish this latest right wing baloney from serious conspiracy research. That is the nature of the work done by Mark Lane  - who would be called a REAL conspiracy theorist or better, conspiracy analyst.  (The analyst having often shown facts, evidence, data beyond the conjectures of theorists.)

 As articulated by Dr. Pat Bannister, the conspiracy research community is the province of mature, rational, educated adults. Serious people possessing some measure of intellect who bring their scientific, mathematical and other aptitudes to the investigation of multiple aspects of a putative real conspiracies - whether the BCCI banking conspiracy, Iran-Contra or the JFK assassination. These people put in real man hours and actually published their work in authoritative media and respected forums as opposed to spreading bunkum through the lowest dreg regions of the net.

Lane, for example, was the first to expose the misdirection and artifice to do with Lee Harvey Oswald's USMC rifle test scores. This was in conjunction with the Warren Commission's questioning of Major Eugene D. Anderson in reference to Commission Exhibit No. 239.  Thus, the WC simply published Anderson's ambivalent speculations on what  weather conditions  for May 6, 1959 might have been, i.e. at first asserting "it was an ideal day".   But it was Lane who pointed out, 'Rush To Judgment', p. 124:

"Although the Commission adopted and published the major's speculation on what the weather 'might well have been'  there was no need for imprecision on this point. Whenever weather is a factor in a court case in the United States, the records of the United States Weather Bureau are subpoenaed and presented as a matter of course.  ... The Weather Bureau records show that the day was not 'windy, rainy, dark', it was sunny and bright and no rain fell."

 That, I submit, is the work of a serious researcher, not a wacko like  Jacob Wohl, Michael Flynn or Alex Jones.   Alas, Mr. Roose - unable to make any critical distinction between genuine theorists-analysts like Mark Lane and ignorant poppets such as Alex Jones, Jacob Wohl et al, writes:

"Conspiratorial thinking has always been with us — the grassy knoll, the moon landing, the Freemasons. But it has been turbocharged in the Trump era..."

Thereby conflating conspiracy thinking and analysis with paranoid ideations and blatant nonsense.  This occurred as soon as he dragged in "the grassy knoll".  Following on from his book 'Rush To Judgement', Lane prepared a video with eponymous title, in which actual assassination witnesses were interviewed including: S.M. Holland, Lee Bowers, Aquilla Clemmons,  Orville Nix and others. In the case of S. M. Holland, e.g.

Lane escorted him to the top of the Triple Underpass overlooking Dealey Plaza to assess the full layout including the grassy knoll, and the curve of Elm Street around the Texas School Book Depository. Subsequently,  Lane actually walked with Holland  to the picket fence on the grassy knoll, clearly revealing its height would have concealed an assassin. Holland also recounted for Lane the questions never asked him by the Commission.

The interview with railroad worker Lee Bowers (later found dead in a suspicious car accident) disclosed the movement of men and a vehicle ('58 or '59 Chevy, tires covered with mud) behind the picket fence on the knoll just before the assassination.

Lane's preliminary work in many ways set the stage for the research of D.B. Thomas (published in the journal Science and Justice, Vol. 41, p. 21, 2001) which showed the putative origin of the kill shot in the assassination, traced to the grassy knoll using echo correlation analysis. This was based on the inferred geometry:

Thomas incorporated  both the original acoustic data (in dictabelt recordings) from Nov 22, 1963 and  more recent evidence from August 1978, when a test shot was fired in Dallas’ Dealey Plaza to provide a fiducial mark for the putative Grassy Knoll shot.   This integration was such that the test shot could be compared with the impulse record obtained on Nov. 22, 1963, e.g.

 This enabled the  fiducial mark to be lined up to events recorded on the Zapruder film. Thus, the test evidence (mainly in terms of echoes and echo delay times received via an echogram from a test shot (See Fig. 1) was essentially used to confirm the microphone recording & positions for the shots made on the actual date, by resort to microphones placed at the same (or approximately so) locations.

The hypergeometric p-function was then used for differing weighting factor distribution sets, H{M..N, n, i} to assess significance or likelihood of occurrence. It's based on the number of echo  'windows'  M,  with each spanning 190msec (total time)  at 2msec width per window and n for assigned impulses in the evidence pattern, with 'i' the "coincident impulses" or those matching the original (11/22/63)evidence and the test result. 

The question was whether a succession of first impulses of given amplitude could be manifesting a signal or was merely random noise. Thomas found that for a given configuration for 2 motorcycles at designated locations, 1 for (Grassy knoll) shooter location and one for alignment of muzzle blasts with one pair of echoes, the p -value is 0.000012 or about 1 in 100,000 against the null hypothesis, i.e. that the impulses were from random noise. An alternative way to put this is that the odds are 100.000 to 1 against being random noise. Hence  in favor of the impulses comprising actual rifle shots.

For the test shot, using Thomas' sonar model and the muzzle velocity for a Norma 6.5mm Mannlicher-Carcano (which is very doubtful that the GK shooter used), one arrives at a 171 msec time for the shock wave to take the defined path to the microphone, from a distance of 28.3m.  (See geometry diagram above)  One must then add the time taken for the putative bullet to travel the distance to the time for the shock wave. In this case: 126 msec + 45 msec. The first parameter is relatively fixed since the distance from bullet to test microphone is fixed at 44.2m and the speed of sound defined for the sonar model was 350 m/s.

The second component changes depending on the muzzle velocity. A German Mauser, with muzzle velocity not much greater than 760 m/s will have its bullet traverse the 28.3 m distance in 37 msec, so that the time will now be: 126 msec + 37 msec or 163 msec, which is some 8 msec shorter. If the rifle used was a Remington Fireball with muzzle velocity 825 m/s then we have a total time: t1 + t2 = 126 msec + 34 msec = 160 msec, or 3 msec shorter.

In the “analytically determined” schema (e.g. actual data obtained on 11/22/63), all the above values change slightly. For example, the distance to Kennedy (from the GK shooter) becomes 30.5 m, and the speed of sound is 342 m/s given the air temperature was 18  C (64.4 F)  at the time of the assassination. The distance from the (GK) assassin to the nearest motorcycle was 67 m leading to the muzzle blast arriving at the motorcycle some D t = [67m/ 342 m/s] = 196 msec, after the shot. When air resistance is corrected for by + 11.5% (from the shooter location) the muzzle velocity resulting becomes 748 m/s (using a starting assumed bullet speed of 672 m/s). Because of a shooter “location uncertainty” of +/- 1.5 m (A<-> A') the muzzle velocity uncertainty is at least +/- 32m/s, so one is left with a range of: 748 +/- 32 m/s. Assuming Thomas’ parameters are correct, then this excludes a Remington Fireball as a possible candidate weapon, but it does permit either a German Mauser or a .30-30 Winchester.

The bottom line is that Thomas' investigation soundly reconfirmed the original acoustic tests and that the kill shot came from the grassy knoll.

My point in writing this post and undertaking this exercise is to show the need for more scrupulous attention to details, as opposed to recklessly and lazily employing throwaway terms like "the grassy knoll"- to conflate one of the few genuine conspiracies with current wacko ideations.  The  latter referring to the false flag idiocy spewed by the Right's parade of morons, paper patriots  and shameless knuckledraggers.

By also showing more perception, intelligence and insight, writers like Roose will command more respect, especially in being able to discern poppycock from actual events that merit close analysis and research of the type I have shown.  Writers like Roose thereby emerge as more competent and informed when they write pieces on claptrap, paranoid conspiracy ideations - such as circulated by Jacob Wohl and Alex Jones.  The takeaway for serious journalists?  Do not insert "grassy knoll"  phrases or references as a kind of cheap homage to "conspiratorial thinking"  when criticizing today's incarnations of paranoid bunkum.

And:
Here Are 5 of the Worst Far-Right and White Supremacist Terrorist Attacks of Recent Years

Obama Addresses The Haters And Race Baiters In Stirring Dallas Tribute

Obama makes a point to all the haters yesterday at Dallas Tribute to slain officers.

"And I'm reminded of a passage in John's Gospel: 'Let us love not with words or speech but with actions, and in truth'.  .....In our society we choose to underinvest in decent schools, we allow poverty to fester so that entire neighborhoods offer no prospect for gainful employment, we refuse to fund drug treatment and mental health programs,.

And then we tell the police, 'you're the social worker, you're the parent, you're the teacher, you're the drug counselor. We tell them to keep those neighborhoods in check at all costs. We flood communities with so many guns that it's easier for a teenager to get his hands on a Glock than it is on a computer or a book. And, do so without causing any political blowback or inconvenience. Don't make a mistake that might disturb our own peace of mind. And then we feign surprise when periodically the tensions boil over.

We know those things to be true, we've known that for a long time. Police, you know it. Protesters, you know it.  You know how dangerous some of the communities these police officers serve are. And you pretend there is not context. These things we know to be true, And if we cannot even talk about these things honestly and openly - not just in the comfort of our own circles but with those who look different from us or bring a different perspective - then we will never break this dangerous cycle."

- President Barack Obama in his speech at the Dallas Memorial for five slain officers Tuesday

Sadly, most of Obama's speech and words - powerful as they were, encompassing as much veracity and integrity as they did - will be outright rejected by those more accustomed to speeches "at the third grade level" - as one commentator put in on Chris Hayes' 'All In' last night. This is sad, because at third grade level nuance escapes minds in favor of bombast and buffoonery. The clown and his antics prevail over the temperate, sober voices.  Truth is lost amidst the wreckage of bunkum, loose rhetoric and unsupported claims. The worst part is that those who most needed to process Obama's words and let them sink in likely tuned him out as "another black terrorist", or reduced  him to the hackneyed  cartoon epithet of "Obummer" or "Obozo". 

And so no wonder this nation is unable to halt its death spiral which begins with anarchy, lawlessness and chaos.  But in the case of rejection of Obama and his much needed words, we already know why this gained such a toehold in certain quarters.

Let us admit that as the first African-American to ever ascend to the highest office, Barack Obama has since day one faced legions of race haters and baiters. A lot that seems to populate this nation like Piranha do the Amazon River Basin.  Unable to tolerate a person of color as Chief Executive, these haters have been at his throat since his 2008  inauguration, unable to come to terms with their own racial hate. The latter betrayed by the too facile, too liberal employment  of disparaging terms like "monkeys" and "apes" - which give away their game.

In like manner the BLM or Black Lives Matter movement has also come under opprobrium even to the extent of being called "terrorists". Some deluded folks have even opined that the insane sniper Micah Johnson was a "terrorist" recruited by Black Lives Matter which is a totally irrational proposition apart from being unsupported. As one BLM advocate noted in the Saturday New York Times, "We had white people finally coming to see what we saw in violence visited upon us" - with the logical inference left unsaid 'So why in the hell would we use a fool like Micah Johnson to undermine our cause".

But as I pointed out, a cynical underground movement in contempt of Dallas Police Chief Brown's community policing efforts and intolerance for police violence,  would.  This is the whole basis for a false flag, a title originally earned with the operations set in motion by Operations Mongoose and Northwoods, which used the cover of phony planned attacks on U.S. interests to  then be blamed on Cuba to initiate a war. One of the documents with those plans I had published in an earlier post from five years ago.

Hence, it is not at all preposterous that craven and duplicitous interests could make use of a seeming opposite ally to carry out plans to besmirch and destroy a movement the superficial thinker might attach to that selfsame ally.

 I myself stand accused of using  epithets to attack Black Lives Matter, following an early altercation in which BLM protestors interrupted a Bernie Sanders' speech last year and snatched the microphone from him as he looked on dumbfounded. Instead of charging onto a stage and intimidating a 73-old man who was on their side, e.g.


 I challenged the movement and protesters to venture into the realm of risk and upend or screech at Trump rallies and those of other repukes - their real enemies if you will. This they did and as they did so, even to the extent of being punched out by one or more pro-Trump looneytunes e.g.in North Carolina, I found myself giving them a grudging respect

Obama, to his credit, did much more than I did and dared to negotiate the intersection between the millions who support police and the millions who support racial justice. Thus,  he called for action to stop the conflict between police and protesters and black and white, admitting previous approaches, including his own, were failing.  He added: “I understand how Americans are feeling. But, Dallas, I’m here to say we must reject such despair. I’m here to insist that we are not as divided as we seem.”

Maybe. But so long as division, distrust and hatred occupy too many minds of our fellow citizens we will remain divided, even if not as extreme as things were in 1968. In that year, racial animus reached a boiling point with riots and bloodshed after the slaying of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Let us recall Obama's words from last night:

"I believe our righteous anger can be transformed into more justice and more peace."

But that can only happen if all sides cease to see themselves as the sole beacons of truth and moral rectitude.. In other words, we must be able to see the experiences of others through their eyes. This means rejecting the temptation to brand every black man shot and killed by police as a "violent criminal" including listing his purported arrest record to attempt to minimize the slaying. It also means ceasing to portray all cops as fascist, out of control monsters where the reactionary bullies are conflated with the decent upholders of order.

Probably the words of young Cameron Sterling, son of Baton Rouge victim Alton Sterling,  best embody what this nation ought to strive toward:

"It's not right to mix up bad police with the good. The police in Dallas, Texas, they didn't deserve that. They might have had kids to go home to and those kids need their parents. I truly just want everyone to protest the right way, in peace not in violence. Not in beating the police and not in the police beating the people. That makes no sense, that makes things worse. You have to make things better by making peace."

Brits Say 'NO!' to Syria Strike: NO Fake "Coalitions" This Time

William Rivers Pitt: concludes that attacking Syria would be one of the stupidest acts U.S. militarists could do, even with a fake coalition. I agree.

"Surely it is a basic principle that evidence precedes decision, not that decision precedes evidence!"- Edward Milibrand, British Opposition Leader yesterday

The British, stung once by bogus "WMD" crappola (by Tony Blair and Dumbya Bush) before the illegal Iraq invasion, are not about to be played again: "Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice and shame on me." Well, they won't be made fools of again.  And who can forget Colin Powell volunteering for the Bushistas' 'dog and pony' show at the UN where he trotted out alleged photos showing missiles and chemical weapons stores. Obviously, trying to emulate the actual U2 spy photos from October, 1962 that really showed Russian missiles in Cuba.

Well, that dog won't hunt again! Brit PM David Cameron had to accept defeat with the parliamentary vote yesterday, though he said he wouldn't apologize to Obama. Why should he? It was a democratic vote, something this country has long forgotten since awarding carte blanche power to the commander-in -chief to single handedly launch aggressive strikes via the misbegotten "war resolution" bunkum passed during Bush II's first term (after 9/11 when the whole nation was in the grip of hysteria and fear). All while a pussified congress rolled over like beaten whelps, as they did with the egregious "Patriot Act".

Now, of course, having found some measure of testosterone, congress seems to be demanding to have a say and final authorization for any military action. Well, a tad too late, wouldn't you say - given you allowed your "oversight" to lapse on so many other major "laws" that were executive driven?

Obama, meanwhile, having somehow been converted to a "Bush" clone over the past 5 years, seems to want to dive in, cruise missiles blazing. But make no mistake that misfired or misguided cruise missiles could kill as many as the recent chemical attack on Damascenes. Another worry, Russian warships are ominously reported to be steering toward the Syrian coast.  Does Obama really want to risk an altercation with the Russians that could get out of control? (Let us recall that Syria is a primary client state of Russia and Russia has major defense and other investments there - they won't just stand by while Uncle Sam unleashes dozens of missiles!)

Blogger, writer William Rivers Pitt, in his article: 'War on Syria:Twenty Pounds of Stupid in a Ten Pound Bag', notes the level of folly involved in barging in there alone, no matter what specious "lawful" pretext is found, or what phony "rhetorical coalitions" are invoked. He writes:

"I'm just going to throw this out on the stoop and see if the cat licks it up: instead of attacking Syria, how about we don't attack Syria?

Crazy, I know; this is America, after all, and our presidents like nothing more than to flip a few cruise missiles at other countries, combined with a few bombing sorties for good measure, because it's a hell of a lot easier than actual statecraft. Besides, it looks good on television, and all those meanies in Congress can't accuse the Commander in Chief of not doing anything. Oh, also, cruise missiles and bombs cost a lot, so if we pull the trigger on Syria, someone will get paid handsomely.

What ho, this we call "diplomacy," right?

Flatten a few buildings, blow some children sideways out of their kitchens during breakfast, take a victory lap on the Sunday morning talk shows...what could possibly go wrong?

Quite a bit, as it turns out.

-------

He goes on to note that unlike the Iraq debacle (which violated Nuremberg Principle VI against pre-emptive war) , there does seem to be fairly impressive  evidence to suggest that chemical weapons were used in Syria. Doctors Without Borders seems pretty convinced it happened, "despite the fact that the use of such weapons by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad doesn't make a whole hell of a lot of sense, given the fickle nature of chemical weapons and how closely concentrated his own forces were near the area of the attack."

Which introduces the possibility  - not to be too hastily dismissed - that the rebels themselves (likely al Qaeda elements within them) staged a "false flag" operation using these nerve agents to try and lure the U.S. into the mess. Unreal? Maybe, but not outside of the realm of possibility - and given how al Qaeda under bin Laden made no bones about the fact their prime objective is to bankrupt our nation with military expenses. So we need to tread carefully, not barge in, missiles blazing as the necrophilious would have us do. One must ask the question, 'Cui bono?' - who benefits?


Now, what if the UN inspectors find evidence: a) there was indeed a chemical attack, and b) the munitions used originated with the Syrian army? Then, enormous pressure will be brought to bear on President Obama to "punish" the Assad regime with a military attack of some kind. Obama himself may also be his own worst enemy, as he's too aware of too many of his past "red line in the sand" comments  - so may worry he will be perceived as weak if he makes no move. But this sort of action on the basis or maintaining bravado and appearances is a bad move and not likely to bring positive results.

William Rivers Pitt again, on why - no matter what the UN inspectors find- it's not a wise move to attack Syria even in a "limited" fashion:
" The short version of why such a course of action is an invitation to catastrophe: Syria is no paper tiger, and is very much capable of both defending itself as well as attacking American interests in the region if provoked. Syria and Iran are strategic allies and are pledged to each other's mutual defense, which means all the Iranian missile sites in the mountains above the Persian Gulf coast could launch their missiles in retaliation...and those Iranian missiles, by the by, are advanced enough to spoof Aegis radar systems, which means thousands of American service members currently manning our warships in the Gulf could very quickly be delivered into a watery grave.

Russia is also a staunch ally of Syria, and could also be provoked into getting involved by backing Assad even more forcefully than they have to date. In essence, any attack on Syria could quickly escalate into a full-scale war that would further destabilize the region and quite probably lead to the kind of conflagration found in the last chapter of the Bible."

Another reason there's little upside is that Obama himself has conceded he's not after "regime change". Then what's the point? Any attack of the type contemplated will plausibly just enrage Assad's forces and make more chemical attacks likely - assuming he did them at all. After all, the planned strikes are not even against the chemical weapon storage depots - but rather the "supporting transport sites". Big deal! What if they miss and strike a school? What if a cruise missile goes awry and hits a Russian warship by mistake? All sorts of unintended consequences can transpire! Obama needs to be fully aware of them before taking any action.

Mr. Obama would do well to emulate John F. Kennedy in the most intense days of the October, 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, when his Joint Chiefs  - including Gen. Curtis LeMay - tried to pressure him into bombing Cuba and invading it. JFK stood back, examined the consequences, saw the folly of the move and resisted. Good thing he did since, as his former defense secretary Robert McNamara noted in a 1993 interview, had he committed such a precipitous action, some 93 odd nuclear -loaded IRBMs would have struck the eastern U.S. and we wouldn't even be having this conversation.

Now is the time for Obama to resist the Siren songs and pleas of the military industrial complex. Do we have his "back"? Yes, IF he resists and doesn't succumb to military foolishness that could have dire consequences for us all.

Make no mistake the Syrian situation is dicey, but that means there are no easy answers. Yes, the apparent nerve gas attack on Syrian civilians was vile, but killing 1,000 more as collateral damage, to "teach a lesson" for the chemical killing of the earlier 1,000 is not exactly the epitome of logic., sobriety or judicious leadership.

What is really needed here? A full UN Resolution allowing action, not a unilateral, Pax Americana mission! If the UN Resolution is not forthcoming - then no action can be allowed. There has to be more this time than a flimsy rhetorical cover. The possible consequences are too horrendous to agree to anything else. The U.S. -lone  superpower or not - must be accountable to a higher organization, and that's what the UN was set up to be!

BOSTON MARATHON BOMBINGS A GOV’T FALSE FLAG OP? NO!

I am really getting sick of the Right and its paranoid clowns calling out government  “false flag” operations every time they think they see the hidden hands of gubmint! Now, with the Boston Marathon bombings, as before with the Newtown Sandy Hook massacre, we’re seeing it again. All the Tea Creeps are crawling out of their crevices to blame one or more government agency operatives for planting the Boylston St. bombs, to justify the DHS going after the Tea Party and their funny hat “patriots”.

Recall in the case of Sandy Hook, über Clown Alex Jones called it a false flag operation, insisting gov’t spooks or operatives recruited Lanza to kill those 20 kids and 6 teachers in order to plant the meme to snuff out their guns. Despite howls of protest the fucko never relented in this piece of mind- boggling babble and codswallop. No, he’s now double downed on it!

Now he sees the Boston explosions as a “false flag” attack committed by the government. The objective this time: Expanding the Transportation Security Administration’s reach to sporting events. Are U kidding me?


One of the bozo’s actual tweets as reported on salon.com:
"Our hearts go out to those that are hurt or killed #Boston marathon – but this thing stinks to high heaven #falseflag

— Alex Jones (@RealAlexJones) April 15, 2013

Yeah, right! How about UN-Real Alex? Jones on his radio show speculated that it may have to do with the sudden drop in the price of gold, a favorite commodity of paranoids everywhere. He babbled:


“With gold plunging, what could this signify?”


Uh well, maybe that too many earlier gold purchasers realized it was a fool’s errand and switched to the stock market and rising DOW instead (which is almost as big a fool’s errand but not quite) – or maybe heeded my persistent advice and departed from speculative BS entirely to stay in fixed income instruments! Who knows? But to jump to a false flag conclusion without an ounce of documentation is nutso!

But we know, those of us in deep politics (talking of the political Left) that the only real, documented government false flag operation was Operation Northwoods, engineered by a cabal of Right wing extremist generals in 1962.  I provided 2 pages of the actual seed documentation for its basis -with Freedom of Information Act -released former Top Secret docs. See e.g.

http://brane-space.blogspot.com/2011/09/why-i-remain-cynic-re-wars-on-terror.html

And the documents below the two photos of me shown in London – just before an IRA terrorist attack in 1978, and in Barbados (with 3 nieces) just before we saw the floating bodies from the just bombed Cubana Airlines Flt. 455 in October, 1976- thanks to CIA and hirelings Freddy Lugo and Hernan Ricardo Lusano.

We might have never known the CIA link had Cuban- CIA double agent Ignacio Rodriguez-Mena not blown the whistle on them, evidently enraged as he might have been on the flight except his wife was late arriving at the departure terminal. Interestingly, Rodriguez -Mena was also the person former CIA spook Brian Latell tried to implicate as sending a hidden signal to off Kennedy, back in 1963. A claim totally disproven by researcher James Douglass who exposed this subterfuge in his book ( JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters , p. 251. )

This is also why no one should believe anything the mainstream media or its talking dopes claims concerning the “man” who killed Kennedy, in this the 50^th anniversary year of the assassination.

Back to Alex Jones and his babble and what defiles all conspiracy research is how he referenced the Boston events to 9/11 saying:


“I said on air that they’re getting ready to blow something up. To fire a shot heard round the world like at Lexington and Concord, and then they do it at this same place on the same day!”


In other words, he’s a 9/11 conspiracist who also believes 9/11 was also a  false flag operation, wherein the gov’t planted the bombs to take down the two towers as a way to secure billions in security funding. But history appears to have left Alex and his delusionary - paranoid, "Hatriot" minions behind.

As Alex Altman of TIME noted,  yesterday was “Patriot’s Day”  which has significance for the militia movement. Altman noted that Timothy McVeigh bombed the Oklahoma City Murrah Building on Patriots’ Day in 1995.”   Meanwhile, in Massachusetts, it’s declared a civil holiday commemorating those battles outside Boston that sparked the American Revolution. (Note: The holiday is now celebrated on the third Monday of April, though the battles actually took place on April 19, meaning the two dates are often conflated.)

In addition to the Oklahoma City Bombing, which occurred on the 19th, the date also coincides with the deadly raid on the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas. As John Avalon wrote for the Daily Beast in 2010, the day has “emerged as a ‘Hatriot’ holiday for some anti-government activists and militia groups.”

Another reason to suspect Right wing whackos and Teepees:

This year, Patriots’ Day also fell on Tax Day, another important date for right-wing extremists. ALSO, few people know that the 26th mile of the Marathon was dedicated to the 26 Newton victims and families. Now, how many gun nuts, their militia pals et al have gone off their rockers the past week calling down the Newtown families and Obama for trying to get a Senate bill passed for universal background checks? Something that ninety percent of normal Americans side with - based on recent polls.

For all these reasons, Jones predicted that while “they might blame it on the Muslims, they’re going to blame it on the Tea Party.”

Somehow I doubt it, Alex! As I blogged on before, http://brane-space.blogspot.com/2013/03/radical-right-terrorists-need-to-be.html

the Right’s lunatics and extremists always seem to get away Scot-free while the vast bulk of violent hate acts are committed by their side. Typically, yes, either radical Islam or the Left gets the blame, and indeed the Occupy movement had the feds tracking it for over a year spying on its every move,

Something they haven’t done with the Right. But maybe now they should – no matter how much they use the term “false flag”!

Alex Jones and his paranoid groupies may not like to hear it, but all the signs point to the militant, gun- fetishizing  Right ( already freaking out about “Obama using the Newtown parents as political pawns to take r guns!’)  in this latest debacle and incident..To me, I don't care how many "bystander" Islamists or OWS folks they dredge up, the fact that the 26th mile was dedicated to the Newtown victims seals the deal: Look for Right Domestic terrorists, or maybe one lone wolf  looneytune, possibly a disaffected returned soldier who served in Iraq. Like Tim McVeigh!
