There’s a nice little movie out there called “Fruitvale Station,” a separate discussion. In the movie the lead character, Oscar, is getting lovey with his wife and she is indifferent, and then mentions that he had an affair with another woman and that it was making it difficult for her. “One time,” says Oscar, and she agrees. “Yeah. You got caught, one time.”

This article is from TV Guide, April 15, 2000. It was a freer time in our history with more actual journalism going on than now. The incident has stuck in my mind all of these years because events subsequent indicate heavily military PSYOP presence in our news media.

In the TV Guide article, we learn that eight US Army PSYOP specialists held positions with CNN and NPR. That much is certain, as it was admitted by red-faced CNN and NPR.

After that, everything appears to be a lie. News executives did not know about them, they say. They did not affect “journalism,” they say. “Human Resources” did not know their backgrounds, they say. They were just there to “learn at the feet of masters,” and only about how to do news reporting, they say. In Latin America, they were used to doing things like create anti-drug advertisements, they say. They just did low-level clerkish work, says NPR, on Morning Edition and All Things Considered. They were probably pushing a coffee cart around. What could be more harmless?

And, of course, once NPR and CNN “learned” they were there, they were immediately terminated. End of story.

Truth is a little less savory. A French Intelligence newsletter exposed their existence, and the story ran in a Dutch newspaper, thereby making its way into the US media.

CNN and NPR got caught. But of course, it was the first time. Never happened before, never happen again. Honest honey.

Posting will be light here in the coming days, and if I write again about Boston, shoot your monitor.

The Boston Marathon bombing was a staged event, and many questions linger. But another event will be along soon, so this one needs to go on the shelf. Maybe fifty years from now some young participant will write in his memoirs how well it worked. Keep in mind Karl Rove’s* words as recounted by Ron Suskind,

…the aide said that guys like me were “in what we call the reality-based community,” which he defined as people who “believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.” … “That’s not the way the world really works anymore,” he continued. “We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors … and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.”

A few concluding thoughts:

Years ago a former Washington Post editor, Ben Bagdikian, lamented that “When 50 men and women, chiefs of their corporations, control more than half the information and ideas that reach 220 million Americans, it is time for Americans to examine the institutions from which they receive their daily picture of the world.”

Today the number is more like five – Time-Warner, Viacom, Newscorp, Disney, Gannett – that’s the vast majority of our “news” dissemination process. Of course it’s not that simple but the important understanding about American news is that a handful of people have overarching influence over what we see and read.

Movies routinely take us to other worlds apart from our own, and when willing suspension of disbelief is in place, offer great enjoyment. We can travel the galaxy, witness ax murders, and share beds with beautiful people. That ability, to fantasize, ought to be in place as we read and watch news.

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.

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?)

nodisinfo.com is doing a bang-up job dissecting the photos of the Boston event, seemingly working around the clock. God bless the Internet, long may she live. I present the following photos without comment. Each one is a zoom-in of the one previous. I will not suggest anything so as to allow you a clear mind. (Not thinking clearly here: Please excuse the fake gore. Photos are beneath fold.)
