How easy it is to make people believe a lie, and how hard it is to undo that work again! (Mark Twain)
American television news owns the minds of American television viewers. It’s a parent-child relationship, the parent understanding that the mind of a child cannot grasp complex reality, and so supplying convenient mythology to satisfy curiosity. Thus is born the stork, and the Muslim terrorist.

By this time, most readers will have heard of Operation Northwoods. If not, a brief recap: There was tension in the executive branch between the Joint Chiefs and JFK in the early 1960’s, with the brass wanting the new Cuban government that had replaced the brutal Batista regime brought down. They wanted to assassinate Castro, invade and bomb the island. In the meantime, JFK was seeking a diplomatic opening behind the scenes. It’s never so simple that a line or two of prose can describe all of the inner workings, tangents and intrigue that goes on, but that, according to several authors on the subject, is one version of events during that time.

I ran for the Montana state house in 1996, and lost. I could have done better, but I lack the necessary guile to be a good politician. I simply stated what I believed in a take-or-leave fashion. For a politician, every clear position statement invigorates both opponents and supporters. It is best to say as little as possible. Once elected, the public mind is off in la-la land, and the public servant can do as he pleases.
Two important issues at that time were voter initiatives, one to raise the minimum wage and the other the “Clean Water Act,” which would have set standards for pollutants in rivers and streams. I decided that each would be valuable as a campaign tool, and so during the primary carried petitions get the issues on the ballot. Reception was positive, and people easily signed them. Things were going well. I was about to be handed a lesson by the pros, however. I did not easily understand at the time. It was about the power of TV.

Is there life on Mars? If so, it would surely be microbial or long rotted away. There are no structures or artifacts in the photos I’ve seen.
But if there is such life, what are the implications? They are, in a word, staggering. Think about it – we are but one solar system among billions in our galaxy which is itself one among billions in perhaps an infinite universe. For life to occur once in our solar system might be an extreme anomaly, but twice in the same solar system?* I think it reasonable to conclude in that situation that life is abundant all about us in our universe. **
That would be a comforting feeling because it also addresses another problem that bothers me: This is it? Really?
Really? Look about! To be fair, we are smart and stupid, caring and cruel, self-aware and deluded. We are a mixed bag. If this is the way of life everywhere, then I have to wonder, why bother? But if life is struggle for improvement, if our quest is simply to be better, then it we have made some minor steps forward. Baby steps.

I’ve been struggling with the implications of the Boston event. There is already abundant evidence of its bogus nature, and more will follow even as it will be ignored. Like buses, there will be another event along soon to replace this one. It is the same “strategy of tension” that plagued Western Europe in the 1970’s.
Here are but two photographic clues: “Heather Abbott: is “Jamie,” an amputee who is acting a part in Boston. “Jeff Bauman” is Vince Vogt, a double-amputee hired to play a part. The photographic resemblance of the two sets is undeniable. Look at each carefully, examine the eyes, chins, noses, overall facial structure, hairlines, and see that they bear heavy resemblance to one another. That is, of course, highly improbable but still, noninclusive. (For reference, the photos, once again, are below the fold.)

Heather Abbott was one of the Boston Marathon bombing victims. She lost her lower left leg below the knee. She has shown remarkable recovery, a positive mental outlook and a cheerful personality throughout. She recently threw out the first pitch in a Red Sox game.
Jamie, pictured below, is featured on a website* that advertises amputees for roles in Hollywood movies. She lost her lower left leg below the knee (BK) in a car accident before 2012.
I’m Just wondering if they know each other, and if Jamie has reached out to support Heather in her time of need. And, as with Vince Vogt and John Bauman, I wonder if it is possible to take a picture of both in the same room without use of Photoshop.

The Turkey/Syria border has been rocked with explosions killing innocent civilians, the work of terrorists. The idea that the Assad government would do these things is absurd to the nth degree. That regime is not comprised of angels. Quite the opposite. They are just not that stupid. Why, when already under covert attack, would Assad go to such great lengths to justify the attack? It’s almost as if he’s begging for a military invasion.
History is littered with false-flag attacks. Some time, when perusing American history, find out what a young congressman named Lincoln was trying to do in introducing the “Spot Resolutions.”
Graham Greene wrote the book “The Quiet American” about his Vietnam experience in the early 1950’s. On January 9, 1952 a bomb exploded in Saigon, killing ten people with dozens more injured. The terrorist act was immediately, and without evidence, blamed on two Chechen brothers the Viet Minh, later referred to for demonization purposes as the “Viet Cong,” or simply “Cong.” Vietnamese Catholics later uncovered the man suspected to be the real terrorist, an American military officer named Scott, who resided quietly in the background. His purpose was to exacerbate the already-inflamed tensions between Vietnamese Buddhists and Catholics.
The weapon used in the Saigon explosion was a plastic explosive known only to the CIA. A small amount, perhaps the size of a Tic Tac box, created the massacre.
Here’s a critical aspect that bears on the events of our current day: When the bomb went off, a Life Magazine photographer was perfectly positioned to capture the immediate aftermath. (I would guess, given Henry Luce’s participation in Operation Mockingbird*, that it was no coincidence.) One of his photos, a man with his legs blown off, was published in the magazine along with the conclusion that Viet Minh were responsible. That photo (beneath the fold) served to demonize the Viet Minh for the American public. Good and evil were reversed in the public mind.
Boston was nothing new, and what’s going on now in the coordinated attack on Syria is a formula that has been in use at least since 1952, probably as long ago as 1952 BCE.

*My apologies for Wiki link, notably unreliable when it comes to information regarding the National Security State. Since it names names and explicitly states the purpose of the domestic covert operation, even as it surely omits the really juicy stuff, it has in my view the credibility of a hostile witness.

Among the criticisms I receive at this blog is that the only way people can debate with me is to agree with me. I regard that notion as classic projection, as they only way I can make headway with any of the noted skeptics of my thinking is to draw back into the crowd, start talking D v R, and get with the program.
D v R is the framework for all debates. The R side is one of honesty and openness, that is, R leaders are allowed to be openly goofy, extreme in their thinking, and even stupid. The D side is a bit more nuanced, as D’s imagine themselves more intelligent, so that their leaders have to play to that vanity. D’s are no less ill-informed and deluded as the R’s. Consequently, an Obama or Clinton, two people who are indeed smart and well-educated, truck well as D’s, but would be regarded with suspicion on the other side.

A bomb was detonated Reyhanli in the Turkish province of Hatay near the Syrian border. From all appearances the bomb and victims are real. There are 62 dead. (RT link.)
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has blamed the Assad regime of Syria for the blast even as that regime would have to be utterly stupid to do such a thing. Having successfully resisted the well-coordinated and funded terrorist attack for two years now, it is apparent that regime is not stupid.
More likely candidates are the intelligence services and black operatives of NATO, Great Britian, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United States, distinguishable in name only, and known by everyone in the world except the American news media to be aiding and abetting the Syrian rebels terrorists.

Consequently, the words below are posted on the English language version of a French blog, and nowhere in The US.
Not too long ago a writer or reporter for the Huffington Post discovered to his surprise that Pat Buchanan and I disagreed with all the wars that had been launched to protect us from terrorism. He asked me for an interview, and I agreed.

Once again I am postponing the bushel basket of writing in the queue regarding false flags. I keep running into a phenomenon that has been hidden in plain sight. I have spent maybe 90 minutes now looking at photographs of the Boston Massacre to see what is really going on there. I urge you to do the same. It’s perfectly safe. No one got hurt. It was a television show, rated R, but only intended for one viewing.
Most amazing: Carole and Skip Downing are said to have a daughter who lost her leg in that accident. They are real people and the story has been circulated among their acquaintances, who are sympathetic. Yet everything I have seen there is Hollywood – blood packets, fake prosthetic limbs, actors walking around who minutes later are in wheel chairs all bloodied up. There is an obviously Photoshopped image of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev the crowd – obvious because there is a leg in the photo with no body attached to it. Does it belong to Jeff Bauman?)
