“Social media users are lab rats”

Walk down the street these days and you’ll see half the people you encounter have their nose buried in their smart phones.

It’s not an accident.

It’s planned and encouraged – and it’s not for your benefit.

We helped break this story TEN years ago, and it’s only just reaching public consciousness now.

Long before social media, the US Army Corps of Engineers had their employees posing as “average citizens” parroting their press releases – as the bodies of people killed by the Corp’s ineptitude and corruption were still floating in the flooded streets of New Orleans.

Major changes to the official Las Vegas timeline.

The ridiculousness of the original official story is unraveling.

Now it turns out hotel security knew there was a man firing a gun on the 32nd floor INSIDE the hotel SIX FULL MINUTES before he started shooting out the window.

It also turns out that Paddock was permitted to use the freight elevator, a perk only given to VIP guest.

In the interview we ran yesterday, Steve Wynn, casino owner, implied that this was the case and then backed off it, meaning there are at least two narratives going on: one for insiders and one for the rest of us.

Here’s the news timeline (as delivered by the police)

9:59 – “More than 200 rounds shot were shot into the hallway and the security guard was injured by a ricocheting bullet.”

The security guard who claims he was shot calls security immediately and reports the shooting.

10:05 – The shooting into the crowd begins

10:12 – Two cops make it to the 31st floor after “searching every floor” and say “they hear shooting on the floor above.”

10:15 – The shooting stops

10:55 – Police are still waiting in the stairwell of 32nd floor

11:20 – SWAT team arrives and blows the door of his room

Do you see the HUGE gaps in time?

The gap between the security guard calling in the shooting and police making it to the floor beneath the 32nd floor. Over ten minutes.

The gap between the cessation of the shooting and the SWAT team finally entering the room. Over one hour.

As the commentator points out this makes no sense.

Also, and this is clear from numerous reports – including videos you can see and hear yourself – there was gun fire, some of it sounding automatic – coming from numerous locations.

Insanity in the Homeland

Lest we forget, “Homeland Security” – besides originally being a Nazi term – is a cash cow and “Full Employment Forever Act” for security types.

Here is an example of the ludicrous extremes this cash cow is being milked in small towns across America.

A town in the middle of nowhere believes it needs metal detection screening, drones and snipers to safely mount its high school football games.

If I were a cop worried about being laid off (rightfully so with DECLINING crime rates), I’d love this.

A very important book

Terror from the air.

Who is getting hit hardest by Obama’s (now Trump’s) drones?

Rural civilians – women, children, the elderly – most of whom have nothing to do with terrorism.

How did we go from “America’s War on Terror” to a global war on war on tribal civilians, mostly poor, mostly rural?

These people value freedom, honor, and community life and oppose centralized governments.

The governments of the countries these tribal people find themselves in don’t like them and are happy to use the America’s “war on terror” to eliminate them.

“For us it’s 9/11 everyday.”

Note: The author Akbar Ahmed assumes the official 9/11 story is true (i.e. a handful of men in caves engineered the seizing of four airliners with with box cutters and outwitted the US air defense causing two state-of-the-art modern office towers to collapse at demolition speed flawlessly into a tight footprint)

Clearly this is a flaw in his thinking.

However, his core message – that we are helping central governments of places like Pakistan and Afghanistan terrorize and destroy their “inconvenient” rural populations – is right on target and is a very important one.

Unfortunately, no one has done a great interview with him on his book so we’re going with what we’ve got.
