Flashback Remember Ruby Ridge, prelude to the Waco Massacre

Image
"Ruby Ridge" used to refer to a geographical location in the state of Idaho, but after an incident that took place there 10 years ago on Aug. 21, the phrase has come to refer to a scandalous series of events that opened the eyes of many people to the inner workings of the federal government, including the vaunted Federal Bureau of Investigation. Now that 10 years have passed, the feds will accelerate their ongoing effort to "move forward" and have the scandal declared "ancient history." But the Ruby Ridge episode should not be soon forgotten.

On August 21, 1992 a paramilitary unit of the U.S. Marshals Service ventured onto the 20-acre property known as Ruby Ridge. A man named Randy Weaver owned the land and he lived there with his wife, children, and a family friend, Kevin Harris. There was an outstanding warrant for Weaver's arrest for a firearms offense and the marshals were surveilling the premises. When the family dog noticed the marshals sneaking around in the woods, it began to bark wildly. Weaver's 14-year-old boy, Sammy, and Kevin Harris proceeded to grab their rifles because they thought the dog had come upon a wild animal.

20th anniverary of the Waco Massacre: A New Revelation - documentary

Image

Waco: A New Revelation
is a 1999 documentary directed by Jason Van Vleet about the 1993 massacre of Branch Davidians, a religious sect targeted by the Feds to make an example of anyone thinking of forming into self-sustaining communities that were not under government control.

It is based on further research to another documentary Waco: The Rules of Engagement.

In this documentary, interviews with new people are conducted and more evidence is presented, one of which is a hole in the roof of "the bunker", allegedly made with an explosive charge. Another analysis is made of images allegedly showing an FBI helicopter killing a Branch Davidian in the Mt. Carmel courtyard.

A retired army officer and a CIA agent both reveal how they have spoken to several Combat Applications Group (nicknamed "Delta Force") soldiers, who all confirm that they were present on April 19, 1993 and that they were "involved in a firefight with the Branch Davidians".

Flashback Oklahoma City bombing: New evidence renews conspiracy debate

Image
Kenneth Trentadue was no angel.

In the 1980s, he did time for robbing banks. But in a strange twist, the circumstances behind his violent death 10 years ago in prison are playing out in federal court in a case that hints at a wider conspiracy in the Oklahoma City bombing.

Recently released documents unearthed because of a lawsuit against the FBI suggest that the long-standing allegations may not be so far-fetched.

The lawsuit, brought by Trentadue's brother, Jesse, has convinced a federal judge in Salt Lake City to order the FBI to produce hundreds of sealed documents in recent months, and even members of Congress are backing him in his fight for additional information.

How The '80s Programmed Us for War

Flanking Uncle Sam: Charlie Sheen in Red Dawn, left, and Tom Cruise in Top Gun.
Reagan's "Morning in America" created Red Dawn, and a Pentagon-fueled pop culture that trained the masses

Let's be completely clear: I did not consciously know I was a devout militarist in 1988 at the young, impressionable age of 12. When I ordered my G.I. Joe Snowcat tank to indiscriminately fire one of its six missiles at the Cobra soldiers who so often held my LEGO city hostage, I didn't think that if this were real, it would probably leave a smoldering pile of blood and limbs and innocent victims. All I thought was: Awesome!

When I rented Hollywood's first PG-13 rated production, 1984's Red Dawn, and I saw the teen heartthrobs protect America by racking up execution after execution, I didn't know the movie would also become the Guinness world-record holder for violent acts depicted per minute in a film. All I did was cheer.

And when I played Contra on my Nintendo NES, I wasn't questioning the premise of a game named after violent terrorist death squads in Nicaragua that were being funded by the Reagan administration's illegal CIA cash transfers from Iran. I was just punching in up-up-down-down-left-right-left-right-B-A, then happily mowing down anything and everything that moved.

"Propaganda is most effective when it is least noticeable," writes public relations expert Nancy Snow. "In an open society, such as the United States, the hidden and integrated nature of the propaganda best convinces people they are not being manipulated."

Best of the Web: 18 years on, the untold truth about the Oklahoma City bombing

(A fertilizer bomb did this? Only in the black-op world where jet fuel can melt 2 skyscrapers...)

On April 19, 1993, in Waco Texas the U.S. government incinerated 86 of it's own citizens for the crime of exercising their constitutional rights of freedom of religion, right to bear arms, and freedom of speech. Timothy McVeigh, who had been at the scene to witness some of the events during the preceding 50 day standoff with U.S. troops, witnessed the inferno erupt on television. Two years later to the day, on April 19, 1995, the Murrah federal building in Oklahoma City was destroyed by a bomb blast. McVeigh was arrested a short time later after being pulled over for driving a car with no license plate and possession of an unlicensed firearm. Several days later he was identified by witnesses as one of two people seen getting out of a Ryder rental truck that was parked in front just before the blast. The other suspect was never identified, and his existence was denied by the government even though he was caught on videotape.

Police shoot and kill one suspect in Marathon bombing, manhunt underway for second

© MattRourke/APPolice officers walk near a crime scene Friday, April 19, 2013, in Watertown, Mass. A tense night of police activity that left a university officer dead on campus just days after the Boston Marathon bombings and amid a hunt for two suspects caused officers to converge on a neighborhood outside Boston, where residents heard gunfire and explosions.
Authorities shot and killed one suspect in Monday's Boston Marathon bombings and police were searching for a second suspect who was on the loose in Watertown, Mass., early Friday morning following a chaotic night that left one police officer dead and another critically wounded in the Boston suburbs.

All public transportation was shut down in the greater Boston area Friday morning, for reasons of public safety, officials said. Residents of Watertown and several surrounding suburbs were asked to stay inside, and businesses were instructed not to open.

"This situation is grave. We are here to protect public safety," Police Commissioner Ed Davis said. "We believe these are the same individuals that were responsible for the bombings Monday at the Boston Marathon" and the killing and wounding of the police officers overnight.

Comment: In the recent manhunt when Chris Dorner was burned alive by Police, there was speculation that his death was intentional to prevent him speaking out in court. It seems quite likely that a similar shoot-to-kill policy will be deployed here 'in the interests of national security'. Guilty or not, chance of the second suspect remaining alive for questioning and providing important information on what happened would appear slim.

Best of the Web: Boston Marathon bombing: More justification for repression and endless global war of terror

We might never learn the motive behind the Boston Marathon bomb attack on Monday, April 15, which is reported to have killed three people and injured more than 170. It could be as simple as an unhinged individual going postal on tax day or a sinister message to Americans from a foreign national illustrating the proverb "You can run, but you can't hide." In any case, the improvised explosive devices (IED) were amateurish and ineffective at causing maximum casualty. According to investigators, the crude IED were made from rigged pressure cookers loaded with gunpowder, nails plus ball bearings, and triggered by egg timers. The clumsy work suggests an unbalanced individual rather than an organization. Nevertheless, all day Monday and Tuesday the United States and world media talked about a "terrorist attack," and the story became the only story. What matters more, however, is the way the incident will be exploited worldwide by policy makers and their media sycophants.

Not necessarily. The bomb ingredients may have been easy to procure, but it may be that someone wants us to think it done by amateurs...

Propaganda Alert! Britain, France claim Syria used chemical weapons

Image
© George Ourfalian/Reuters Syrian officials visit a victim of chemical weapons at a hospital in Aleppo, on March 21, 2013. Britain and France say that there is credble evidence Syria used chemical weapons in December. Syria says it is the anti-government fighters who have used chemical weapons.
Britain and France have informed the United Nations that there is credible evidence that Syria used chemical weapons on more than one occasion since December, according to senior diplomats and officials briefed on the accounts.

In letters to U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, the two European powers said soil samples, witness interviews and opposition sources support charges that nerve agents were used in and around the cities of Aleppo, Homs and possibly Damascus, the officials said, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.

The European accounts are in part aimed at countering accusations by the Syrian government that opposition forces had fired chemical weapons during fighting in the town of Khan al-Asal near Aleppo on March 19, killing 26 people, including Syrian troops.

European diplomats acknowledge that Syrian forces may have been exposed to chemical agents during the attack, but they say it was a "friendly fire" incident in which the troops were hit when a government shell missed its opposition target.

The Syrian government has seized on the incident to make its case that opposition forces have introduced chemical weapons into the civil war.

A day after the alleged attack, Syria's U.N. ambassador, Bashar Jaafari, invited the world body to send an "impartial" technical team to the country confirm the opposition's use of chemical weapons. Russia strongly endorsed the Syrian request.

The U.N. chief agreed to establish a fact-finding team, but the effort has since been bogged down over a dispute about the scope of the investigation, with Russia backing the Syrian request for a limited probe into the Aleppo incident, and key Western powers, including Britain, France and the United States, proposing a broader investigation that examines the possible use of chemical weapons throughout Syria.

U.N. inspectors have not yet been permitted into the country.

President Obama has warned that the use of chemical weapons in Syria would be a "game changer" for the United States. After the Aleppo incident, Obama said that the United States would "investigate thoroughly exactly what happened" and that he had "instructed my teams to work closely with all other countries in the region and international organizations and institutions to find out precisely whether this red line was crossed."

But diplomats say the United States has responded more cautiously. The United States, said one Security Council diplomat, has been "less activist on this" than Britain and France.

James R. Clapper Jr., director of national intelligence, told a Senate panel Thursday that accusations that the Syrian regime has used chemical weapons are still being evaluated.

"The increasingly beleaguered [Syrian] regime, having found that its escalation of violence through conventional means is not working, appears quite willing to use chemical weapons against its own people," he said. "We receive many claims of chemical warfare use in Syria each day, and we take them all seriously, and we do all we can to investigate them."

Comment: "President Obama has warned that the use of chemical weapons in Syria would be a "game changer" for the United States"....seems everything is proceeding toward another "regime change" as planned.
