ScottC:

please study the events and prosecutions surrounding the program of terror known as "Gladio" before you talk about Newtown. Everybody should be familiar with the political tool "Strategy Of Tension" In short the Red Brigade were not left but right and the ultimate effect was to replace the Italian Gov with a regime more acceptable toe DC then a bunch of socialists.

OK just reading the beginning of the Carol Kaye review and I immediately wonder if anyone knows how I could try to track down what musicians might be playing on a Lalo Schifrin composed bit of score for the old Mission Impossible series. The track is called "Tape Machine" from an episode called "Underground." You can listen to it here:

maybe gladio is smersh for the 21st century
  12:05pm
ScottC:

@WTF OK. The implications of truly understanding GLADIO are that western governments (NATO) will kill a lot of people in terror attacks for political advantage. it's a nasty business but there it is. This is not in dispute anywhere but in the US.

You're wasting your time ScottC. They can't see the lizard people like we can.

i'll go further - anybody who believes in gladio is batshit crazy.

Little-known fact: Jimmy Cliff was a stay-behind SMERSH agent. Those white go-go boots in the video are in fact shoe phones. Play `Bongo Man' backward to hear the truth!

Actually, Punchy, the Hawaiian Punch mascot, is a symbol of American imperialism and the oppression of indigenous peoples. And "Rockin' Sydney" is code for the upcoming US invasion of Australia. It's all true. Hey, how about a nice Hawaiian punch?

There's a difference between being open-minded and uncritically buying into every batcrap conspiracy theory that comes along, which is exactly what the Sandy Hook "truther" lunacy is.

  12:35pm
Scott S.:

ScottC, there is a difference between acknowledging that conspiracies take place and reflexively believing that everything is a conspiracy. The Sandy Hook truther nonsense is ridiculous and has been soundly debunked (read the linked Salon piece), and your insistence that it has a basis in reality discredits whatever other claims you make, regardless of their actual merit.
  12:39pm
ScottC:

@Scott S I am only responding to the question of why anybody could belive that Newtown was hoax. I vae given everybody 2 good examples of why a lot of people are questing this - GLADIO and GARY WEBB - study these or remain a virgin.
Avatar 12:41pm
glenn:

as the lawyers would ask - cui bono? absolutely nobody benefits from the killings at newtown.
  12:42pm
Scott S.:

ScottC, your claims make no sense. You insist that, because one thing may have happened, the other thing definitely happened. This is nonsense. Again, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO CREDIBLE EVIDENCE to support this Sandy Hook nonsense, and you are just silly to continue to insist that it has a basis in reality.

Some people desperately want life to be dramatic and exciting, even though they don't always realize it. So they believe in, or invent, these complicated explanations for relatively simple events. But the simpler explanation is usually the better one.
