The tragedy in Newtown, CT, and a tragic national response

There have been a num­ber of mis­lead­ing reports, trou­bling anom­alies, and out­right hoaxes fol­low­ing the tragedy in New­town, CT. There has also been a pecu­liar focus on what could only be described as junk-analysis on the part of the main­stream media when it comes to the ques­tions over why this took place and how we can pre­vent fur­ther tragedies of this nature. Sadly, it’s time for some more caveats that should have never been necessary...


J. Edgar Hoover: “Marilyn Monroe Is a Communist!”

The death of cin­ema icon Mar­i­lyn Mon­roe has gar­nered much press over the half-century since her death. Pop con­spir­acy the­o­rists and fas­cists have long tried to por­tray her death as a mur­der com­mit­ted by the Kennedy broth­ers. Respon­si­ble inves­ti­ga­tors have voiced sus­pi­cions that her death may have been a mur­der that was a pre­cur­sor to Pres­i­dent Kennedy’s assas­si­na­tion a lit­tle over a year later. Fol­low­ing the par­tial dis­clo­sure of Ms. Monroe’s FBI file, we now learn that the FBI and J. Edgar Hoover were closely mon­i­tor­ing the late, unfor­tu­nate actress because of her alleged “com­mu­nist sym­pa­thies.” Along with Hoover’s pas­sion­ate hatred of the Kennedys and her close (and prob­a­ble roman­tic) links to both Kennedy broth­ers, that would have been more than enough rea­son for her to be elim­i­nated. Many observers have opined that, if her death was indeed mur­der, it may have been intended to pro­vide ammu­ni­tion to embar­rass the Kennedy fam­ily in the event that they cried “con­spir­acy” fol­low­ing JFK’s assassination.


The “camo pants” coincidence in Newtown, CT, part 3: updates and caveats

Here’s another update on the reports of a “sec­ond shooter” and the still uniden­ti­fied “camo pants” man:
It appears that the mys­tery of Mr. Rodia has poten­tially been cleared up and he appears to be inno­cent and only coin­ci­den­tally caught up in this event:
It looks like Mr. Rodia was actu­ally pulled over in his car dur­ing the event and was not dri­ving the pos­si­ble sus­pect “vehi­cle”. Plus, there are a few caveats that need to be conveyed...


The camo pants coincidence in Newtown, CT, part 2: the mystery is solved except it isn’t

In our last post on this tragic topic, we addressed the pos­si­bil­ity that the New­town, CT shooter had help. In par­tic­u­lar, the ques­tion of the iden­tity and poten­tial involve­ment of a man in “camo pants” and a dark jacket that was taken into the cus­tody. Answers have emerged regard­ing this man’s pos­si­ble iden­tity. But a lot of ques­tions remain. And one of those remain­ing ques­tions is, unfor­tu­nately, who was the “camo pants” man?

Henry Kissinger, BND Elements and Third Reich Veterans Contemplated the Overthrow Willy Brandt’s Government

Over the years, we’ve pre­sented the pro­found, decades-long net­work­ing of both Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger with Third Reich alumni, many of them war crim­i­nals of the first order. Nixon helped to ini­ti­ate and sus­tain the Nazi ele­ment of the GOP. Now we learn that Kissinger actively con­spired with Third Reich vet­er­ans and Ger­man aris­to­crats to estab­lish the ground­work for the over­throw of the Ger­man gov­ern­ment of for­mer chan­cel­lor Willy Brandt. Pre­vi­ously, Kissinger was recruited by Allen Dulles to help incor­po­rate Nazis into the CIA’s fledg­ling para­mil­i­tary cadre to be used against the USSR. One of Kissinger’s co-conspirators was Hans Globke, author of the Nurem­berg laws, which pro­vided the basis for the Nazi exter­mi­na­tion programs.


The camo pants coincidence in Newtown, CT

There have been mul­ti­ple hoaxes and ample mis­re­port­ing in the New­town tragedy as the event unfolded. As a con­se­quence, there is an unfor­tu­nate topic we’re going to have to revisit.


Now, About those School Yard Shootings . . .

With the nation and much of the world focused on the grue­some shoot­ings in New­town, Con­nect­cut, we revisit the topic of the school­yard shoot­ings. In past pro­grams, we have noted that a num­ber of the [alleged] per­pe­tra­tors of the school shoot­ings have links to Nazi and white suprema­cist groups. A form of ter­ror­ism, these mas­sacres desta­bi­lize soci­ety, lead­ing to the pop­u­lar sen­ti­ment for “order.” Endorsed by some ele­ments of pop­u­lar cul­ture, the school­yard shoot­ings are func­tion­ing in a man­ner anal­o­gous to the Fritz Haar­mann inci­dent in Weimar Ger­many. That ser­ial mur­der of more than a hun­dred juve­niles, whose corpses were butchered and baked into meat pies, dis­cred­ited the author­i­ties of Weimar Ger­many, help­ing to sow sen­ti­ment that would ben­e­fit the Nazis.


Imagine, “Morsi Is a Textbook Islamic Fascist”: I Told You So, Part 3 (Democracy, Muslim Brotherhood Style, Part 3)

We recall the tsunami of praise, Hosan­nas and Hal­lelu­jahs gush­ing forth from the world’s media and polit­i­cal pun­ditry. Hail­ing the “Arab Spring” as the dawn­ing of a new enlight­en­ment in that part of the world, they missed the boat–fundamentally. We, on the other hand, were warn­ing that this phe­nom­e­non was a Nazi oper­a­tion, hav­ing been ini­ti­ated by pow­er­ful cor­po­rate forces in the sec­ond admin­is­tra­tion of George W. Bush, it had its trig­ger with the Wik­iLeaks milieu–itself a far-right, Nazi-linked entity, as we demon­strated in FTR’s 732 and #745. (In addi­tion to the doc­u­men­ta­tion in the orig­i­nal WikiLeaks/Arab Spring series, see the arti­cle excerpted below.) Before delv­ing into details, an excel­lent overview of recent events in Egypt was pro­vided in an English-language blog by a cit­i­zen of that tor­tured coun­try. The con­tra­dic­tions and deadly under­cur­rents of unfold­ing events were elo­quently summed up by Mah­moud Salem in “Imagine.”


Falling to Earth: September 11th Flight School Operator Rudi Dekkers Arrested for Drug Trafficking

Long able to escape legal ret­ri­bu­tion for his actions, Huff­man Avi­a­tion oper­a­tor Rudi Dekkers appears to have run out of luck. The Dutch/German pilot who ran the flight school through which 9/11 hijacker Mohammed Atta and his Ger­man and Aus­trian asso­ciates infil­trated the United States has been arrested in Hous­ton for drug traf­fick­ing. It remains to be seen what comes of this inves­ti­ga­tion, but the impli­ca­tions are poten­tially staggering.


Germany and the Fragmenting of the United Kingdom

So-called “pro­gres­sive” ele­ments within the EU are advanc­ing the Ger­man agenda of work­ing to frag­ment larger nations. In addi­tion to the Greens, the Euro­pean Free Alliance is mov­ing to redraw the map of Europe, with a greatly expanded Ger­many. Ger­man NGO’s are sup­port­ing the seces­sion of parts of the United King­dom. Some of those same NGO’s have also been sup­port­ive of terrorist/Muslim Broth­er­hood ele­ments dur­ing the so-called Arab Spring.
