After the Boston Marathon Bombing in 2013, Tamerlan Tsarnaev was shot on the street while his brother, Dzhokhar, miraculously survived though hundreds of bullets were fired at the boat in which he was hiding.
Linh, I’m surprised you didn’t refer to Dave McGowan’s expose’ on the Boston “bombing.” His scene by scene description of what actually took place was absolutely superb. By the way, he did similar good work on the “moon landings” and the towers demolition. One must wonder what caused his premature death. Here’s a link: https://centerforaninformedamerica.com/bostonmarathon/. It is a must read!
Headpress is very sad to report the news that David McGowan, author of Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon: Laurel Canyon, Covert Ops & the Dark Heart of the Hippie Dream, has passed away following a courageous six month battle against lung cancer.
Headpress is very sad to report the news that David McGowan, author of Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon: Laurel Canyon, Covert Ops & the Dark Heart of the Hippie Dream, has passed away following a courageous six month battle against lung cancer.
Although his literary work was only one part of David’s life—among other things he was also a father, son, brother and businessman (he worked in construction—which may come as some surprise to readers of his books)—it was of course the part that Headpress knew him for, and we sincerely feel that he was one of the most talented authors we have had the privilege to publish, and that Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon was one of the best books we’ve ever released.
For those that haven’t read David’s work, it could be classified as “conspiracy literature”, certainly, but was head and shoulders above the vast majority of that unfashionable genre in terms of its insight, originality, and style. David was a very eloquent, moral, and droll writer, and Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon—which looks at the counterculture of the 1960s from a conspiratorial perspective—is one of the most original and compelling books in the conspiracy canon. Many of us at Headpress ‘had to’ read and re-read the work for commissioning/editing/proofreading/marketing (etc) purposes and it always but always seemed to read itself, the pages burning the reader’s fingertips as they flew by.
One thing that comes off of David’s work whenever we read it is its glaring humanity. David sincerely hated to see all the violence and injustice in the world, and his indignation powered his books.
As a collaborator, David was reliable, dedicated, serious, kind and sometimes tempestuous! We had our clashes, here and there, en route to the book’s publication and beyond. But we always made friends again, and members of the Headpress family exchanged some very moving correspondence with David during his final months. During that time, David was particularly full of praise and gratitude for his family, his doctors, and his readers—the thousands of people that read Weird Scenes and afterwards went on to reach out to David through his website and the book’s Facebook page, expressing their admiration for his work, and, while he was ill, their sadness, advice and moral support.
He is survived by his three daughters (Alissa, Megan, and Shane) and also his parents and two brothers.
RIP to a great and original writer. Below is an interview with David from 2014, around the time of the book’s release.
Hi Linh, i was reading Dave’s work while he was alive and expected that he may die an “untimely” death. His dx was lung cancer and unfortunately he was a smoker, so who knows? Before he died he released a statement to the effect that his was a natural illness. Again, who knows? He was one of the very first to publicly decry 9/11 for what it actually was. He did a lot of great work on 9/11, and his proof of the moon landing hoax in “Moondoggies” is a classic. But my all time favorite of his was the meticulous photographic evidence he used to expose the Boston Marathon bombing for the false flag it was. If you haven’t read it I implore you to take the time and read it carefully. I guarantee you will be knocked out of your sandals by his forensic work!
Best to you, Linh, you’re a great writer and human!
If you can get the livestock to believe in the "moon landing" nonsense, and most still do, then you can get the lumpen to "believe" in anything. The herd has not only been programmed to perfection but even many of its so-called dissidents and challengers to the current pox amerikana template such as GoZalo Lira and the uber Russian patriot (strangely domiciled in USSA) Andrei Martyanov, as well as Mr Mass Formation, Matias Desmet, all get very very touchy and evasive when that particular holy cow is brought out for butchering. Why defend the "mass formation" sleight of hand "moon landing" if you claim to be conscious of the lies and deception of the angloZionaZi empire of shit and its endless bouts of global genocide all of which are based on the abomination of so-called USSAN "values"?
No matter, I for one still "believe" that sacred cows happen to make the best hamburgers and hopefully when the moon landing keystone is pulled from the shaky pyramid of angloZionaZi lies and subterfuge then the entire rotten edifice will come crashing down.
I saw the moon lander replica in the museum in Washington. I could not figure out where they stored the pressurized fuels needs to take off get back into orbit around the moon. All pretty obvious in retrospect.
The moon landing was obviously fake but so many things are just as fake. Oswald the lone gunman, the third tower falling down in solidarity, unqualified pilots flying jumbo jets as though they are elite hey pilots, Syrian gas, St. Floyd ascension to heaven, the gentle giant, Covid as the greatest health crisis in history, systemic racism & on and on.
Hitler/Goebbles was right that people simply can't doubt the big lie
In retrospect, the moon landing was an obvious PROPAGANDA FEAT during the (also mostly fake?) Cold War. It never served any other practical purpose except PROPAGANDA. So, given that this was the only objective, why go not and film it right here in a studio on Earth, instead of all the trouble of actually trying to go there? There are too many weird things about the moon landing, the main one being that they never even tested the lunar module, they went there the first time, supposedly with humans, and everything worked well... Then the missing tapes, etc.
The adult southpark effect. Something minor happens, but the adults in the room blow up, call the Feds, call Biden, call the fucking military to bomb the shit out of everyone. Everybody is confused. WTF did just happen? ... After that, even the kids are confused. WTF, dad! WTF, mom! WTF, Mr Marines soldier! Uh oh, never mind, kiddo. What's new on Netflix?
Hey bro, read Miles Mathis on Boston. He's also a great painter. His contention is that almost all of these events are fake mass traumas, perpetuated on the stupid goy cattle by the you-know-who. He calls them Phoenicians, btw.
"It is misdirection, but it is also confusion. They know that if they stage enough events, you can't
concentrate on any one event. So they set up fake explosions all around you, to keep your head
constantly turning. With everything happening so fast, you can't tell the real events from the fake ones,and you can't respond sensibly to the real ones.
You see, that is the number one goal: that you not be able to respond in any way. The function of the
media, and especially the news media, is to be sure you are so emasculated and debilitated you couldn't pull the trigger of a gun if it were in your hand loaded and cocked. If they are fully successful, you won't be able to file a lawsuit, either, or string two sentences together in your defense. You won't even be able to put your lips together to say, “No!”"
He's written 100s of pieces on all of these fake events. Fun stuff.
Well, if Miles' theories are right (he mixes some with common sense stuff with some more outlandish stuff), they actually are the Phoenicians. The Hebrew alphabet comes from the Phoenician alphabet. If you look at the Paleo-Hebrew script, it is basically identical to the Phoenician script. However, modern Jews are really a mishmash of many peoples, they ain't no ancient civilization. And their religion such as it is, is also a mishmash based on the Talmud, and started after the destruction of their temple by the Romans (as predicted by Jesus). Most former Judeans became Christians. The rest became Jews.
Miles is a fake. Is there anyone else who's an ace realist painter, able to talk about scientific matters in depth and still has time to explore genealogical roots of any issue or family name he wishes to expose? It's Team Mathis, at least 3 individuals.
As to the Phoenician claim, weren't they the greatest sailors of their era? Aren't the Hebrews wandering nomads and then urban deal makers? They were passengers like Jonah not captains like Columbus. They arranged passage for goods and slaves. They didn't man exploratory ships.
Miles's most outlandish claim might be that JFK took a pee break during the motorcade so that his body double could take the bullet in his place.
I think Vox or some other blogger calls it the "Miles Mathis Committee". Well, there are some who sign as guest authors. But most is signed Miles. Who knows. I certainly don't. Like with everything these days, you have to take it with a grain of salt.
Thank you for this. Phoenicians is apt. I learned only the other day that the shekel was originally a Phoenician coin of high purity that alone was accepted at the Jerusalem temple (Abraham's First National Bank and Pawn Shop).
The rationale for doing a hoax moon landing would be obvious - "we beat the Soviets" and all that. (People of our time have no understanding of how intense the "space race" hype was to people of several generations ago.) Alright, the US gov't pulled it off - despite the fact that at the very least, hundreds of people had to keep the knowledge of the hoax to themselves. But what is the reason for doing the SAME hoax FIVE more times? There was not one landing; there were six, and each time it was done - had they all been a hoaxes - the odds of discovery would exponentially increase. The fact is, people with no knowledge cannot believe the landings happened because they cannot conceive that there was ever time when there was a people who had the intelligence and will to make them happen. But people of incredible intellect, not shackled by politics, did exist; in fact, a handful of them, like Dr. James Watson, are still alive.
BTW, if your argument against the landings has anything to do with YTube videos, you will be unable to grasp the reasoning of someone who reads documents rather than watches videos.
We never went to the moon. There were no planes on 9/11 or if there were, they were not responsible for the destruction of the buildings. Bin Laden was not killed by the U.S. (likely died in a hospital years before) and had nothing to do with 9/1/ (he was probably a CIA agent anyway). Most school shootings are fake (perhaps not all of them, but Sandy Hoax and the latest ones, for sure) The same of many terrorist attacks -- some do happen for real, but many are done or funded by CIA/FBI, Gladio-style. There were no gas chambers in the camps. The US war in Afghanistan was probably to protect the poppy fields for opium, not because of the Taliban, who by the way had nothing to do with 9/11.
Wow. I have hesitated on commenting on this one, Linh, because for one, I respect you and this is your feed. I also wondered if someone had pissed in your food or your bed or something else happened to make you especially vinegary when you wrote this piece. I don't disagree with the title or the main sentiment of the piece. I don't love to debate, and some of the things you bring up are really complex events. It is much harder to disprove a conspiracy theory than it is to go along with one.
Having said that, I do not believe the Warren Report version of the JFK assassination, and I am still waiting for the Girl in the Polka-dot Dress to be found and depositioned. I don't trust Israel and I abhor AIPAC and I oppose the idea of dual citizens in the United States. Once when I worked in NSA, one of the internal propaganda organs wrote up a piece about some ex-employee who made some significant contributions and retired to ISRAEL. No one seemed to care. I wrote an email to the person who wrote the puff piece and asked how that was considered good security practice. I got a very offended answer, how dare I besmirch and question the honor? This about a country that never answered for the USS Liberty, which was on a NSA mission collecting signals intelligence, stole our nuclear weapon secrets, and within an agency betrayed by the spy and Israeli citizen Pollard. Having said the above, I guess I am going to wade into this quagmire a little. I am a masochist for what I hold to be the truth. I do this with respect to you Linh, as well as all the commenters. I empathize, I am a fellow sufferer, I am also disappointed with the failures and decline of the American Republic into a blind and blundering and violent Empire.
What are my credentials to speak to any of these topics? I am not a combat veteran, but I was in the U.S. army for 16 years, four of those in the infantry (before the endless wars), and I had more medical training than the typical soldier (all US military gets fairly extensive first aid training, and I had some intensive additional training). I have spent countless hours reading first-person accounts of combat, from ancient times to the present day, and many historical accounts of battles and wars. I have talked with army medics and some doctors that worked in Walter Reed during the worst years of the meat-grinder that was the main supply route for our "Green Zone" in Baghdad. There was a period where the most dangerous activity was delivering supplies in Iraq, in the 2000's. The rest of my army time was in the Oxymoron Corps, the Military Intelligence branch. I mention that because it involved a good deal of training in how to think, detect bias in self or others or in sources, how to vet sources, and how to analyze disparate pieces of information and fuse them into the best intelligence picture of the situation that was possible. I also took as many courses in counter-intelligence as I could, even though I was not in that field. I know something about how adversaries work against and inside the United States.
My first point is concerning the pictures from the bombing incident in Boston. Shock explains all of the points raised. Shock is a wonderful psycho-biological mechanism that closes off pain in extremely traumatic situations. One thing anyone interested in the topic can do is read the citations of the Congressional Medal of Honor, from U.S. Civil War to the present day. People can do incredible things while suffering the most grievous wounds.
Another point about the man whose trousers were shredded, is that the type of bomb used there could easily have had that effect of shredding cloth and not flesh. I have had some training in bombs and Improvised Explosive Devices, from the army and the ATF, and the Dept. of Energy. I don't recall the exact nature of the bomb the Tsarnaev brothers made, but I remember that it was packed with nails and tacks and pieces of metal. Depending on many factors, the scatter of the projectiles can disperse in ways that reduce lethality in certain directions. That is to say, one would need a diagram of the inside of the pressure cooker, know what projectiles were packed, and what was the explosive/propellant. Again, I am no expert. Look up the pictures of Hitler or his shredded trousers after the July 1944 bombing. That briefcase bomb had just been moved away down the table, before it went off, and the men standing next to it died, I think. (If the windows had been shut, or if the meeting had been held in the concrete bunker, the concussion from the explosion would have killed more people.
The psychological trauma of shock can also be used to explain the police reaction to the incident. I would be one of the first to aver that the culture of the "Global War on Terror" was also a factor. I won't weep for either Tsarnaev. I would argue for different tactics and training for police, but that's another huge topic and I don't have many credentials in that area, other than some training I had when I was in the National Guard (helped me pay for college). A question for anyone interested in the topic of policing: would you rather be shot, or beaten with a wooden baton? Me and Rodney King would opt for the baton. The general conundrum surrounding imagery raises it's head yet again.
To the way which Betty Ong spoke on the phone from the doomed Flight 11: Training. Training. Training. Betty had 14 years of experience as flight crew, and those people, despite what flight passengers may think, get a heck of a lot of training. I was very fortunate in the 90s to serve in a unit which garnered us some of the best training available. We had many pilots in that unit, and they arranged for us to get a day of training from the FAA on flight safety, and it gave me insight in what flight crew have to deal with, think about, and be prepared for. Flight crew are safety and first aid experts, diplomats, and amateur psychologists. Betty Ong was trying to follow procedure as best she could, for a scenario that was not in the training playbook, but her training stood her well. In the realm of service, meaning the military, law enforcement, fire and rescue, and the professionals in the travel industry, a cool head in crisis situations is highly prized. I am also a trained language analyst, and I think that I can claim that I have more than average ability to analyze voice recordings. Betty is not calm, she is in the mode of doing what she can. We don't know what else she was also doing while she was trying to give her report. Life is not like the movies, nor is it like the Simpsons. Trained professionals don't run up and down the aisle shouting hysterically in real crisis situations. I know that flight crew have often been very unhappy with how they are portrayed in the movies.
The people on the ground taking the call worked in reservations for the airline, they were not in operations. So they were not trained to deal with such a situation, and they obviously had a hard time hearing Betty. If you listen, a woman from operations gets on the call near the end. I don't know why Betty was talking to reservations and not operations. I have never worked for an airline, the FAA, nor have I taken any flying lessons. Betty Ong's family and friends are/were a quite extensive group, and they missed her. She was honored in her neighborhood, and deserved to be.
Also, to the point of training, what are you trained for, and what are you NOT TRAINED FOR? Flight crews were trained about the scenario wherein terrorists hijack flights for political stunts, diverting planes to places like Libya or Cuba. They were NOT trained, up to the point of September 2001, about terrorists flying planes as semi-smart bombs into buildings. Everyone was trained to try to communicate and negotiate with the hijackers. "What do you do when they slash and stab with box cutters?" "Yeah, no one ever said anything about that!"
I have obsessively watched every documentary about 9/11. I don't believe most of the official narrative of the Congressional report. I do know that most of the report's recommendations were not implemented. I do believe that the crew and passengers are dead. I think that two airline aircraft hit the two towers of World Trade Center. I think that those buildings were prepped for demolition, or that some scientific hypothesis which explains the collapse has yet to be presented. I find it suspicious that so many Jewish employees were not in the towers that Tuesday. Israelis danced that day over in New Jersey. No one has come up with a sufficient explanation for the collapse of WTC-7. I think Dick Cheney ordered the shoot-down of Flight 93 over Pennsylvania. The crash site there was missing all the typical forensic evidence and debris of an aircraft crash. Pilots declared that the alleged feat of flying a big pig airliner on a tight turn spiralling down and then hitting a small target like the side of the Pentagon, and again, with none of the typical tell-tale aircraft debris, as impossible. There was video footage from the Pentagon site which disappeared. And yeah, I'm aware of the certain offices and records that were in that section of the building.
I state all of that to demonstrate that I am in the conspiracy tribe.
about betty ong - the wikipedia article about here gives other examples from her early life of remaining calm under pressure - i for one am willing to believe her phone call from the plane was as depicted
I have known many military people who could stay a lot calmer than I usually am. I have had a few crisis scenarios where I acted in accordance with my training in first aid, and did my emotional freaking later. Thank you.
Moon landings, oh boy, oh Apollo, we red, white and blue kids of the 70's weep for you. I heartily agree that the main point of the space program was propaganda and Cold War chest thumping. It was also a wonderful effort. If only more of the money of that time was spent in engineering and technology challenges that had nothing to do with weapons of war or espionage, or expanding the federal bureaucracy. I went down this rabbit hole myself. The main guy who spurred this with his ambush interviews and YT videos, he is IMO a grifter and uses Mike Moore tactics. It's not good journalism. To the weird behavior of the Apollo 11 crew during interviews in 1969 and 1970: these were test pilots and they were heartily sick of the propaganda aspect. They were also military pilots during wartime, and they felt like first class shitheels gathering glory on TV while their brothers were getting shot at and shot down in Vietnam. Another point: most of the astronauts of the first several classes were all test pilots. That means a specific type of man (yes, man) who is among many things, quite prepared to risk death in pursuit of a record or a technological goal. They were also patriotic, from a different time. So would these men have said "Van Allen Belts? I'm ready to sit for hours on the biggest fire-cracker ever made, waiting for blast-off and possibly die in one of the biggest fireballs of all time, but I'm not ready to face withering death from hypothetical radiation in an invisible portion of the space around earth. Nah, I'll pass." That is not the type of men these fellows were. There is test equipment placed by Apollo 11 on the lunar surface which can still be communicated with using a laser. Go the the NASA site and peruse the photographs from the Apollo program. These programs were huge and very public. They were also very costly, and Nixon had to cut many things in the wake of LBJ's insane policy of fighting two wars on nouns, that of poverty and "insurgency." When the American people stopped watching the moon landings, there was no longer a propaganda reason, and the scientific possibilities of experiments or geologic exploration was never a big priority in the White House.
Our Republic morphed into a Kleptocracy and a Big Stupid Empire. We have a lot of problems, and coming down from the delerious affects of Dominating the World is not easy. That's a bullshit premise and a heady drug. It's not healthy for a nation or its citizenry. While I'm at it, FDR was our WW2 dictator, Lincoln was a dictator, the FBI is completely unconstitutional and there are very few good wars. Of the wars of the 20th Century, hmmm, I pick our efforts to save South Korea. I do not pick WW1 or WW2. History also happened before the camera or the tv were invented. If you are going to spend time on conspiracies, I hope that you do extensive serious reading, and that you keep your priorities balanced. The main point is to learn about psychology and manipulation and control and how to spot propaganda. Ask questions. Try to build something that is beneficial and not harmful.
if i remember correctly, a cop/merc slashed his neck to try to finish him off when they pulled him out of the boat. then there was his buddy who got shot in the head while being interviewed by the fbi and the fbi lawyer who pled him guilty in her opening statement.... this was the "gone with the wind" of false flags. great pics btw.
God dam, Linh, you’ve get me laughin’ my ass off again today.
Yeah, no shit, Sherlock, something’s rotten in Denmark.
If I recall correctly, the feds assassinated a roommate, or acquaintance, of the “terrorists”, when they were interviewing him.
Apparently, there was a sword hangin’ on the wall, and these five, or six, armed g-men got skared, and had to empty their clips into their interviewee.
No friendly fire injuries were disclosed.
And, that poor fuckin’ kid, hidin’ in the boat, gettin’ shot to hell.
They’d a killed his ass, if there hadn’t been a witness around.
An old white guy, like me.
Confession:
I’d like to think that I would have shot at the feds, and give the kid a weapon to defend himself.
Betcha that kid in the boat wasn’t near as calm, cool, and collected, as the dude in the wheelchair.
Terrorists are such pussies.
Sorry, don’t want a replay of yesterday.
I know you dislike having to ban someone.
Well, it was a good post
nine-eleven, trial run of the imposition of Marshall law.
And, the pussy-ass, brain dead children, in the USA, fell into line, like perfect little sheep.
Oh my god.
I’m so, so sorry.
If any snowflakes were melted by my.........honest assessment, please forgive,
no, get over it.
Ban me. Cancel me. Any way you want me.
As long as you love me, it’s alright.
Fed endless bullshit.
No wonder health outcomes are so poor in amerikkka.
Look at our diet.
My late brother in law made the best god dam hot dogs I’ve ever tasted.
So, like you, I’m searching.
You are one of present life’s few blessings, Linh.
Not a lot to smile about, here in Wisconsin, these days.
You and I have a kindred spirit in a gentleman named Haeder.
He’s been pretty much cancelled, like you, and he’s kinda stranded here.
Passionate fellow, and hurtin’ inside.
He don’t whine, and bellyache, about his troubles.
But, it ain’t hard to figure out that he’s gotta be frustrated as hell, by being marginalized.
You know how it is to be ridiculed by dumb dumbs.
I bring him up, because he’s been walking an honorable path, and getting kicked in the head for it.
Make me mad.
You keep the levity going, for me, while keeping my eyes on the prize.
I spent time in Madison and Milwaukee, but not long enough. When I gave a poetry reading in Milwaukee, an old girlfriend showed up, hugged me then stole one of my books. Can't blame her at all. So many injuries we cause in this life, so many mistakes. Her name is Grace! Older than me, she may be dead.

Yes. The body language says it all. Hardly an enthusiastic bunch.
My mother would look happier when she found some toilet paper in the shops of Cairo some 60 years ago.
The moon landing was obviously fake but so many things are just as fake. Oswald the lone gunman, the third tower falling down in solidarity, unqualified pilots flying jumbo jets as though they are elite hey pilots, Syrian gas, St. Floyd ascension to heaven, the gentle giant, Covid as the greatest health crisis in history, systemic racism & on and on.
Hitler/Goebbles was right that people simply can't doubt the big lie
In retrospect, the moon landing was an obvious PROPAGANDA FEAT during the (also mostly fake?) Cold War. It never served any other practical purpose except PROPAGANDA. So, given that this was the only objective, why go not and film it right here in a studio on Earth, instead of all the trouble of actually trying to go there? There are too many weird things about the moon landing, the main one being that they never even tested the lunar module, they went there the first time, supposedly with humans, and everything worked well... Then the missing tapes, etc.
The adult southpark effect. Something minor happens, but the adults in the room blow up, call the Feds, call Biden, call the fucking military to bomb the shit out of everyone. Everybody is confused. WTF did just happen? ... After that, even the kids are confused. WTF, dad! WTF, mom! WTF, Mr Marines soldier! Uh oh, never mind, kiddo. What's new on Netflix?
Hey bro, read Miles Mathis on Boston. He's also a great painter. His contention is that almost all of these events are fake mass traumas, perpetuated on the stupid goy cattle by the you-know-who. He calls them Phoenicians, btw.

http://mileswmathis.com/boston.pdf
What's the goal? In Miles' words:
"It is misdirection, but it is also confusion. They know that if they stage enough events, you can't
concentrate on any one event. So they set up fake explosions all around you, to keep your head
constantly turning. With everything happening so fast, you can't tell the real events from the fake ones,and you can't respond sensibly to the real ones.
You see, that is the number one goal: that you not be able to respond in any way. The function of the
media, and especially the news media, is to be sure you are so emasculated and debilitated you couldn't pull the trigger of a gun if it were in your hand loaded and cocked. If they are fully successful, you won't be able to file a lawsuit, either, or string two sentences together in your defense. You won't even be able to put your lips together to say, “No!”"
He's written 100s of pieces on all of these fake events. Fun stuff.

Well, if Miles' theories are right (he mixes some with common sense stuff with some more outlandish stuff), they actually are the Phoenicians. The Hebrew alphabet comes from the Phoenician alphabet. If you look at the Paleo-Hebrew script, it is basically identical to the Phoenician script. However, modern Jews are really a mishmash of many peoples, they ain't no ancient civilization. And their religion such as it is, is also a mishmash based on the Talmud, and started after the destruction of their temple by the Romans (as predicted by Jesus). Most former Judeans became Christians. The rest became Jews.
Miles is a fake. Is there anyone else who's an ace realist painter, able to talk about scientific matters in depth and still has time to explore genealogical roots of any issue or family name he wishes to expose? It's Team Mathis, at least 3 individuals.
As to the Phoenician claim, weren't they the greatest sailors of their era? Aren't the Hebrews wandering nomads and then urban deal makers? They were passengers like Jonah not captains like Columbus. They arranged passage for goods and slaves. They didn't man exploratory ships.
Miles's most outlandish claim might be that JFK took a pee break during the motorcade so that his body double could take the bullet in his place.
I think Vox or some other blogger calls it the "Miles Mathis Committee". Well, there are some who sign as guest authors. But most is signed Miles. Who knows. I certainly don't. Like with everything these days, you have to take it with a grain of salt.
Thank you for this. Phoenicians is apt. I learned only the other day that the shekel was originally a Phoenician coin of high purity that alone was accepted at the Jerusalem temple (Abraham's First National Bank and Pawn Shop).
The rationale for doing a hoax moon landing would be obvious - "we beat the Soviets" and all that. (People of our time have no understanding of how intense the "space race" hype was to people of several generations ago.) Alright, the US gov't pulled it off - despite the fact that at the very least, hundreds of people had to keep the knowledge of the hoax to themselves. But what is the reason for doing the SAME hoax FIVE more times? There was not one landing; there were six, and each time it was done - had they all been a hoaxes - the odds of discovery would exponentially increase. The fact is, people with no knowledge cannot believe the landings happened because they cannot conceive that there was ever time when there was a people who had the intelligence and will to make them happen. But people of incredible intellect, not shackled by politics, did exist; in fact, a handful of them, like Dr. James Watson, are still alive.
BTW, if your argument against the landings has anything to do with YTube videos, you will be unable to grasp the reasoning of someone who reads documents rather than watches videos.
We never went to the moon. There were no planes on 9/11 or if there were, they were not responsible for the destruction of the buildings. Bin Laden was not killed by the U.S. (likely died in a hospital years before) and had nothing to do with 9/1/ (he was probably a CIA agent anyway). Most school shootings are fake (perhaps not all of them, but Sandy Hoax and the latest ones, for sure) The same of many terrorist attacks -- some do happen for real, but many are done or funded by CIA/FBI, Gladio-style. There were no gas chambers in the camps. The US war in Afghanistan was probably to protect the poppy fields for opium, not because of the Taliban, who by the way had nothing to do with 9/11.
Prove me wrong. :D
Thanks for posting this. Such excellent points.
Wow. I have hesitated on commenting on this one, Linh, because for one, I respect you and this is your feed. I also wondered if someone had pissed in your food or your bed or something else happened to make you especially vinegary when you wrote this piece. I don't disagree with the title or the main sentiment of the piece. I don't love to debate, and some of the things you bring up are really complex events. It is much harder to disprove a conspiracy theory than it is to go along with one.
Having said that, I do not believe the Warren Report version of the JFK assassination, and I am still waiting for the Girl in the Polka-dot Dress to be found and depositioned. I don't trust Israel and I abhor AIPAC and I oppose the idea of dual citizens in the United States. Once when I worked in NSA, one of the internal propaganda organs wrote up a piece about some ex-employee who made some significant contributions and retired to ISRAEL. No one seemed to care. I wrote an email to the person who wrote the puff piece and asked how that was considered good security practice. I got a very offended answer, how dare I besmirch and question the honor? This about a country that never answered for the USS Liberty, which was on a NSA mission collecting signals intelligence, stole our nuclear weapon secrets, and within an agency betrayed by the spy and Israeli citizen Pollard. Having said the above, I guess I am going to wade into this quagmire a little. I am a masochist for what I hold to be the truth. I do this with respect to you Linh, as well as all the commenters. I empathize, I am a fellow sufferer, I am also disappointed with the failures and decline of the American Republic into a blind and blundering and violent Empire.
What are my credentials to speak to any of these topics? I am not a combat veteran, but I was in the U.S. army for 16 years, four of those in the infantry (before the endless wars), and I had more medical training than the typical soldier (all US military gets fairly extensive first aid training, and I had some intensive additional training). I have spent countless hours reading first-person accounts of combat, from ancient times to the present day, and many historical accounts of battles and wars. I have talked with army medics and some doctors that worked in Walter Reed during the worst years of the meat-grinder that was the main supply route for our "Green Zone" in Baghdad. There was a period where the most dangerous activity was delivering supplies in Iraq, in the 2000's. The rest of my army time was in the Oxymoron Corps, the Military Intelligence branch. I mention that because it involved a good deal of training in how to think, detect bias in self or others or in sources, how to vet sources, and how to analyze disparate pieces of information and fuse them into the best intelligence picture of the situation that was possible. I also took as many courses in counter-intelligence as I could, even though I was not in that field. I know something about how adversaries work against and inside the United States.
My first point is concerning the pictures from the bombing incident in Boston. Shock explains all of the points raised. Shock is a wonderful psycho-biological mechanism that closes off pain in extremely traumatic situations. One thing anyone interested in the topic can do is read the citations of the Congressional Medal of Honor, from U.S. Civil War to the present day. People can do incredible things while suffering the most grievous wounds.
Another point about the man whose trousers were shredded, is that the type of bomb used there could easily have had that effect of shredding cloth and not flesh. I have had some training in bombs and Improvised Explosive Devices, from the army and the ATF, and the Dept. of Energy. I don't recall the exact nature of the bomb the Tsarnaev brothers made, but I remember that it was packed with nails and tacks and pieces of metal. Depending on many factors, the scatter of the projectiles can disperse in ways that reduce lethality in certain directions. That is to say, one would need a diagram of the inside of the pressure cooker, know what projectiles were packed, and what was the explosive/propellant. Again, I am no expert. Look up the pictures of Hitler or his shredded trousers after the July 1944 bombing. That briefcase bomb had just been moved away down the table, before it went off, and the men standing next to it died, I think. (If the windows had been shut, or if the meeting had been held in the concrete bunker, the concussion from the explosion would have killed more people.
The psychological trauma of shock can also be used to explain the police reaction to the incident. I would be one of the first to aver that the culture of the "Global War on Terror" was also a factor. I won't weep for either Tsarnaev. I would argue for different tactics and training for police, but that's another huge topic and I don't have many credentials in that area, other than some training I had when I was in the National Guard (helped me pay for college). A question for anyone interested in the topic of policing: would you rather be shot, or beaten with a wooden baton? Me and Rodney King would opt for the baton. The general conundrum surrounding imagery raises it's head yet again.
To the way which Betty Ong spoke on the phone from the doomed Flight 11: Training. Training. Training. Betty had 14 years of experience as flight crew, and those people, despite what flight passengers may think, get a heck of a lot of training. I was very fortunate in the 90s to serve in a unit which garnered us some of the best training available. We had many pilots in that unit, and they arranged for us to get a day of training from the FAA on flight safety, and it gave me insight in what flight crew have to deal with, think about, and be prepared for. Flight crew are safety and first aid experts, diplomats, and amateur psychologists. Betty Ong was trying to follow procedure as best she could, for a scenario that was not in the training playbook, but her training stood her well. In the realm of service, meaning the military, law enforcement, fire and rescue, and the professionals in the travel industry, a cool head in crisis situations is highly prized. I am also a trained language analyst, and I think that I can claim that I have more than average ability to analyze voice recordings. Betty is not calm, she is in the mode of doing what she can. We don't know what else she was also doing while she was trying to give her report. Life is not like the movies, nor is it like the Simpsons. Trained professionals don't run up and down the aisle shouting hysterically in real crisis situations. I know that flight crew have often been very unhappy with how they are portrayed in the movies.
The people on the ground taking the call worked in reservations for the airline, they were not in operations. So they were not trained to deal with such a situation, and they obviously had a hard time hearing Betty. If you listen, a woman from operations gets on the call near the end. I don't know why Betty was talking to reservations and not operations. I have never worked for an airline, the FAA, nor have I taken any flying lessons. Betty Ong's family and friends are/were a quite extensive group, and they missed her. She was honored in her neighborhood, and deserved to be.
Also, to the point of training, what are you trained for, and what are you NOT TRAINED FOR? Flight crews were trained about the scenario wherein terrorists hijack flights for political stunts, diverting planes to places like Libya or Cuba. They were NOT trained, up to the point of September 2001, about terrorists flying planes as semi-smart bombs into buildings. Everyone was trained to try to communicate and negotiate with the hijackers. "What do you do when they slash and stab with box cutters?" "Yeah, no one ever said anything about that!"
I have obsessively watched every documentary about 9/11. I don't believe most of the official narrative of the Congressional report. I do know that most of the report's recommendations were not implemented. I do believe that the crew and passengers are dead. I think that two airline aircraft hit the two towers of World Trade Center. I think that those buildings were prepped for demolition, or that some scientific hypothesis which explains the collapse has yet to be presented. I find it suspicious that so many Jewish employees were not in the towers that Tuesday. Israelis danced that day over in New Jersey. No one has come up with a sufficient explanation for the collapse of WTC-7. I think Dick Cheney ordered the shoot-down of Flight 93 over Pennsylvania. The crash site there was missing all the typical forensic evidence and debris of an aircraft crash. Pilots declared that the alleged feat of flying a big pig airliner on a tight turn spiralling down and then hitting a small target like the side of the Pentagon, and again, with none of the typical tell-tale aircraft debris, as impossible. There was video footage from the Pentagon site which disappeared. And yeah, I'm aware of the certain offices and records that were in that section of the building.
I state all of that to demonstrate that I am in the conspiracy tribe.
about betty ong - the wikipedia article about here gives other examples from her early life of remaining calm under pressure - i for one am willing to believe her phone call from the plane was as depicted
I have known many military people who could stay a lot calmer than I usually am. I have had a few crisis scenarios where I acted in accordance with my training in first aid, and did my emotional freaking later. Thank you.
Moon landings, oh boy, oh Apollo, we red, white and blue kids of the 70's weep for you. I heartily agree that the main point of the space program was propaganda and Cold War chest thumping. It was also a wonderful effort. If only more of the money of that time was spent in engineering and technology challenges that had nothing to do with weapons of war or espionage, or expanding the federal bureaucracy. I went down this rabbit hole myself. The main guy who spurred this with his ambush interviews and YT videos, he is IMO a grifter and uses Mike Moore tactics. It's not good journalism. To the weird behavior of the Apollo 11 crew during interviews in 1969 and 1970: these were test pilots and they were heartily sick of the propaganda aspect. They were also military pilots during wartime, and they felt like first class shitheels gathering glory on TV while their brothers were getting shot at and shot down in Vietnam. Another point: most of the astronauts of the first several classes were all test pilots. That means a specific type of man (yes, man) who is among many things, quite prepared to risk death in pursuit of a record or a technological goal. They were also patriotic, from a different time. So would these men have said "Van Allen Belts? I'm ready to sit for hours on the biggest fire-cracker ever made, waiting for blast-off and possibly die in one of the biggest fireballs of all time, but I'm not ready to face withering death from hypothetical radiation in an invisible portion of the space around earth. Nah, I'll pass." That is not the type of men these fellows were. There is test equipment placed by Apollo 11 on the lunar surface which can still be communicated with using a laser. Go the the NASA site and peruse the photographs from the Apollo program. These programs were huge and very public. They were also very costly, and Nixon had to cut many things in the wake of LBJ's insane policy of fighting two wars on nouns, that of poverty and "insurgency." When the American people stopped watching the moon landings, there was no longer a propaganda reason, and the scientific possibilities of experiments or geologic exploration was never a big priority in the White House.
Our Republic morphed into a Kleptocracy and a Big Stupid Empire. We have a lot of problems, and coming down from the delerious affects of Dominating the World is not easy. That's a bullshit premise and a heady drug. It's not healthy for a nation or its citizenry. While I'm at it, FDR was our WW2 dictator, Lincoln was a dictator, the FBI is completely unconstitutional and there are very few good wars. Of the wars of the 20th Century, hmmm, I pick our efforts to save South Korea. I do not pick WW1 or WW2. History also happened before the camera or the tv were invented. If you are going to spend time on conspiracies, I hope that you do extensive serious reading, and that you keep your priorities balanced. The main point is to learn about psychology and manipulation and control and how to spot propaganda. Ask questions. Try to build something that is beneficial and not harmful.
if i remember correctly, a cop/merc slashed his neck to try to finish him off when they pulled him out of the boat. then there was his buddy who got shot in the head while being interviewed by the fbi and the fbi lawyer who pled him guilty in her opening statement.... this was the "gone with the wind" of false flags. great pics btw.
Hey Linh, You jumped the shark!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noybHpL4qgM
God dam, Linh, you’ve get me laughin’ my ass off again today.
Yeah, no shit, Sherlock, something’s rotten in Denmark.
If I recall correctly, the feds assassinated a roommate, or acquaintance, of the “terrorists”, when they were interviewing him.
Apparently, there was a sword hangin’ on the wall, and these five, or six, armed g-men got skared, and had to empty their clips into their interviewee.
No friendly fire injuries were disclosed.
And, that poor fuckin’ kid, hidin’ in the boat, gettin’ shot to hell.
They’d a killed his ass, if there hadn’t been a witness around.
An old white guy, like me.
Confession:
I’d like to think that I would have shot at the feds, and give the kid a weapon to defend himself.
Betcha that kid in the boat wasn’t near as calm, cool, and collected, as the dude in the wheelchair.
Terrorists are such pussies.
Sorry, don’t want a replay of yesterday.
I know you dislike having to ban someone.
Well, it was a good post
nine-eleven, trial run of the imposition of Marshall law.
And, the pussy-ass, brain dead children, in the USA, fell into line, like perfect little sheep.
Oh my god.
I’m so, so sorry.
If any snowflakes were melted by my.........honest assessment, please forgive,
no, get over it.
Ban me. Cancel me. Any way you want me.
As long as you love me, it’s alright.
Fed endless bullshit.
No wonder health outcomes are so poor in amerikkka.
Look at our diet.
My late brother in law made the best god dam hot dogs I’ve ever tasted.
So, like you, I’m searching.
You are one of present life’s few blessings, Linh.
Not a lot to smile about, here in Wisconsin, these days.
You and I have a kindred spirit in a gentleman named Haeder.
He’s been pretty much cancelled, like you, and he’s kinda stranded here.
Passionate fellow, and hurtin’ inside.
He don’t whine, and bellyache, about his troubles.
But, it ain’t hard to figure out that he’s gotta be frustrated as hell, by being marginalized.
You know how it is to be ridiculed by dumb dumbs.
I bring him up, because he’s been walking an honorable path, and getting kicked in the head for it.
Make me mad.
You keep the levity going, for me, while keeping my eyes on the prize.
Thanks brother.
Hi Mike,
I spent time in Madison and Milwaukee, but not long enough. When I gave a poetry reading in Milwaukee, an old girlfriend showed up, hugged me then stole one of my books. Can't blame her at all. So many injuries we cause in this life, so many mistakes. Her name is Grace! Older than me, she may be dead.
Linh
I hope that she read the book.
I’m still pretty much a virgin, (now there’s some amerikkka speak for ya).
What I mean is, I’m new to all of this honest writing that I’ve been reading lately.
I was a guest of the state housing authority (s) for a piece.
Haeder is going to bring his copy of “postcards” for me to peruse.
I’ll buy one myself, especially if you get a shekel or two from the transaction.
I’m getting old, fast, and I’ve missed out on so much.
Brainwashed, and propagandized for oh so long.
But, no cryin’ over spilt milk.
We’re here now.
Do what we can.
You do it for me, buddy.
I love the way your mind works.
And, the way you share it with the rest of us.
Kudos.
Being ripped off is always a bummer, but on the other hand, I'd consider it a compliment if someone felt a book I wrote was worth stealing... :-)
