I feared this would happen soon, since there are more people out there taking actions withouth thinking they are actually making it worse.


The case of the conspiracy theorist that is the suspect in the Pentagon shooting

2Pentagon Police Chief Richard Keevill identified the suspect as 36-year-old Californian John Patrick Bedell. Keevill said Bedell apparently tried to gain entry to the Defense Department complex Thursday night as he approached three Pentagon police officers who guarded a checkpoint at the exit of the Pentagon Metro station."

Last year there was a bill about getting more goverment control on the internet because of pedophiles stating that there is no other alternative since the problem is out of control withouth more power what exist on the internet an what should rather be removed or blocked.

With this scare about a new national treath of people joining together forces for a higher purpose they are getting what they need for more control.

This feels like the oklahoma case where this unknown person suddently had a whole profile and as the years went by his reputation got formed and created by the media and the other ones that had somethin to earn.

Any killing in USA could be changed in to this since there are millions of people youtubing theri opinions and what they believe is the truth. That one of these people would actually do it was inevitable with all the carzyness going on.

Before conspiracy theorist usually where people wanting to fill that gap of knowlege that something in them told had to be found because the reality sometimes does not seem to be what we get told. But today personal experiences and problems gets blended in with any conspiracy theory they might find.

Is life really that meaningless?

But as it has been said. In politics there are no accidents.

My opinion is that there has to be more people digging for more facts with a objective mind that is not set on any verdict beforehand.

And btw Illuminati is bull#. It is just a symbol to hate while the real people are hidden. Life is not like superman..

Well yes, they certainly know how to work the public fear. They always use for the children, but people overall rejected more governmental big brother monitering from that, so they want to give the new hotness a go...the internet terrorists...and especially those wacky conspiracy guys that hate our freedoms and want to kill everyone.

The only way to counter such governmental/msm scare tactics is a calm and rational discussion with your neighbors. Yes, some conspiracy people are nuts, and so are some bowlers, some computer programmers, some astronomers, etc...there have always been nuts, and there always will be nuts. Guy Faulks had no internet when he tried to blow up parliment, manson didnt need the internet to do his crazy, etc..

I find it interesting that given recent developments there seems all most an uncanny order of operations taking place to build a case against those who would question the OS.

From the Abstract of Sunstein's Conspiracy paper:


Many millions of people hold conspiracy theories; they believe that powerful people have worked together in order to withhold the truth about some important practice or some terrible event. A recent example is the belief, widespread in some parts of the world, that the attacks of 9/11 were carried out not by Al Qaeda, but by Israel or the United States. Those who subscribe to conspiracy theories may create serious risks, including risks of violence, and the existence of such theories raises significant challenges for policy and law.
....Because those who hold conspiracy theories typically suffer from a “crippled epistemology,” in accordance with which it is rational to hold such theories, the best response consists in
cognitive infiltration of extremist groups. Various policy dilemmas, such as the question whether it is better for government to rebut conspiracy theories or to ignore them, are explored in this light.


I find this passage of interest too:


The widespread belief that U.S. officials knowingly allowed 9/11 to happen or even brought it about may have hampered the government’s efforts to mobilize social resources and political support for measures
against future terrorist attacks. In the nature of things it is hard to find evidence for, or against, such possibilities;
yet it hardly seems sensible to say that because such evidence is lacking, government should do nothing about a potentially harmful conspiracy theory.

Government can partially circumvent these problems if it enlists nongovernmental officials in the effort to rebut the theories. It might ensure that credible independent experts offer the rebuttal, rather than government officials themselves. There is a tradeoff between credibility and control, however. The price of credibility is that government cannot be seen to control the independent experts. Although government can supply these independent experts with information and perhaps prod them into action
from behind the scenes, too close a connection will prove self-defeating if it is exposed --as witness the humiliating disclosures showing that apparently independent opinions on



It just seems that many parallels can be drawn with what he says will happen and how the Govt. should and is responding. I guess this is one to keep an eye on. But as Alex Jones stated less than an hour after the incident the MSM was all over the fact that the shooter held opinions that didn't support the OS. It just seems like something is fishy how they keep the truther movement quite until they have some amo to use against it; fitting nicely with Sunstein's belief that the Govt. should keep quiet until an opportunity presents itself to rebut a con. theory. Oh the wicked webs we weave.
