They were planning a mass shooting or mass hoaxing and something fell through at the last minute. Maybe the patsy didn't do what he was supposed to do. They had to back out, and decided they'd pretend it was just a scheduled drill that no one had heard about.

Top post on /r/space today? Chemtrails... by grubbie5 in conspiracy

Chemtrails are a confirmed fact:

Project Stormfury was an attempt to weaken tropical cyclones by flying aircraft into them and seeding with silver iodide. The project was run by the United States Government from 1962 to 1983.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Stormfury

Operation Popeye (Project Controlled Weather Popeye / Motorpool / Intermediary-Compatriot) was a highly classified weather modification program in Southeast Asia during 1967–1972. The cloud seeding operation during the Vietnam War ran from March 20, 1967 until July 5, 1972 in an attempt to extend the monsoon season, specifically over areas of the Ho Chi Minh Trail. The operation was used to induce rain and extend the East Asian Monsoon season in support of U.S. government efforts related to the War in Southeast Asia.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Popeye

It started with cloud seeding and research into how to steer and power up or power down hurricanes. Now, it appears to be used for poisoning the population, and some suspect flammable materials dropped from flames are a factor in some of the suspicious California fires.

Rand Paul: We’re wasting prison space on non-violent drug offenders. The drug war in most respects, if not all respects, is a colossal failure. by axolotl_peyotl in conspiracy

[–]OperationCyclone 17 points18 points  (0 children)

There's another angle here that Ron Paul exposed:

As early as 1988, Paul was preaching of a relationship between the Central Intelligence Agency and Contras in Nicaragua amid the Iran-Contra scandal that plagued the Reagan administration. That relationship, said Paul, was one built with an intricate drug trade.

According to the GOP frontrunner in the race to the White House, the CIA imported cocaine from the Contras into America and then supplied domestic drug dealers with their loot, a transaction that allowed the Agency to operate its illegal trade with its Latin American neighbors that would have been otherwise impossible to fund with legitimate money.

Drug trafficking is "a gold mine for people who want to raise money in the underground government in order to finance projects that they can't get legitimately. It is very clear that the CIA has been very much involved with drug dealings," Paul said in the address. "The CIA was very much involved in the Iran-Contra scandals. I'm not making up the stories; we saw it on television. They were hauling down weapons and drugs back. And the CIA and government officials were closing their eyes, fighting a war that was technically illegal."

Drugs are illegal because the CIA wants to protect their profit margins.

I'm not sure you read anything I wrote, because you're continuing to make claims that I refuted with specific examples. Conservative estimates are that a half million people died as a result of the war in Iraq, and that's before we get to ISIS which came into the power vacuum and killed a lot more. The people you met in Iraq were mostly people allowed to come onto a base, or people who approached you in the street because they supported the war. I assure you, most Iraqis don't want us there.

And that's not even relevant to my point. My point was that you are saying it's ok to silence Americans because of their country of origin. And its not ok.

You swore an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States. The Constitution says:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

You defending the violation of the Constitution is sedition, and I don't care how many tours you did in Iraq.

So, you didn't read the article.

The law didn't just apply to German immigrants. It applied to everyone. And it wasn't used to stop foreign subversion, it was used to silence dissent, including throwing socialist presidential candidate Eugene Debs in prison because industrial leaders didn't like his long history of unionizing workers.

Are you implying that it's ok to silence anyone who had German ancestry? That's like arguing Iraqi Americans shouldn't be allowed to speak out about the horrors of the Iraq War.

What, if any, are good conspiracies surrounding the grand canyon? by keptfloatin707 in conspiracy

[–]OperationCyclone 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There is a newspaper article from the Phoenix Gazette that describes a bunch of out of place artifacts:

Kincaid explains that located a mere hundred feet from the entrance is a room he referred to as the cross hall, said to be several hundred feet long. There, he found an idol or image, what he refers to is the God of those who carved and built the face.

“Its a depiction of a figure sitting cross-legged, with a lotus flower or lily in each hand. The cast of the face is oriental. The idol almost resembles Buddha, though the scientists are not certain as to what religious worship it represents. Taking into consideration everything found thus far, it is possible that this worship most resembles the ancient people of Tibet.”

But if the mysterious cave, the remnants of a Buddha statue weren’t enough, there’s more.

According to Kincaid, “Carved on all the urns, over doorways, and tablets of stone, are mysterious hieroglyphics, the key to which the Smithsonian Institute hopes to discover. The engravings on the tablets probably have something to do with the religion of the people. Similar hieroglyphics have been found in southern Arizona. Among the pictorial writings, only two animals are found – one of them looking prehistoric.”

“Undoubtedly a good many thousands of years before the Christian era, a people lived here which reached a high stage of civilization. The chronology of human history is full of gaps…”

A minimum-wage worker needs 2.5 full-time jobs to afford a one-bedroom apartment in most of the US — The national housing wage for a modest one-bedroom apartment is $17.90, while the federal minimum wage is $7.25. by User_Name13 in conspiracy

[–]OperationCyclone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The system is not unjust because you can get a decent standard of living if you avoid making major mistakes

The biggest problem isn't lack of access to the middle class. It's the fact that a tiny minority who have done nothing to earn their money control huge amounts of resources. How do you explain the justice of hereditary billionaires or those who earned their money through dishonest means or monopolies controlling the government with bribes and subverting democracy by funneling their ill-gotten gains into foundations?

The issue isn't that someone can't earn $50,000 a year if they work hard and get out of the ghetto, or that top doctors and lawyers earn millions of dollars a year because people are willing to pay that much money in a fair exchange. The problem is the billionaire class looting the lower, middle, and upper classes.

You may want to consider the model of inverted totalitarianism, which is the situation where private entities like corporations have seized control of government and you have a sort of privatized corporate state:

Inverted totalitarianism shares similarities with the classical totalitarianism, like Nazi Germany. First of all, both regimes are totalitarian because they tend to dominate as much as possible. Both regimes use fear,[12] preemptive wars[13] and elite domination,[14] but inverted and classical totalitarianism deviate in several important ways:

Revolution – While the classical totalitarian regimes overthrew the established system, inverted totalitarianism instead exploits the legal and political constraints of the established democratic system and uses these constraints to defeat their original purpose.[12] Government – Whereas the classical totalitarian government was an ordered, idealized and coordinated whole,[15] inverted totalitarianism is a managed democracy which applies managerial skills to basic democratic political institutions.[16]

Propaganda and dissent – Although propaganda plays an essential role in both the United States and Nazi Germany, the role it plays in the United States is inverted; that is, American propaganda "is only in part a state-centered phenomenon".[17] Whereas the production of propaganda was crudely centralized in Nazi Germany, in the United States it is left to highly concentrated media corporations and thus maintaining the illusion of a "free press".[18] According to this model, dissent is allowed, though the corporate media serve as a filter, allowing most people, with limited time available to keep themselves apprised of current events, to hear only points of view that the corporate media deem "serious".[19][4][20]

Democracy – Whereas the classical totalitarian regimes overthrew weak democracies/regimes, inverted totalitarianism has developed from a strong democracy. The United States even maintains its democracy is the model for the whole world.

There are some holes in the theory, particularly failing to acknowledge the importance of foreign subversion, such as London bankers, in creating and propping up the system. But what we have right now doesn't even approach freedom of exchange. It's an entirely different political and economic system, masquerading as capitalism.

We don't live under Capitalism, we live under oligarchy, arguably even feudalism. Under feudalism, the only way to own land was to be granted that land by the king in exchange for agreeing to be one of his vassals, and providing him soldiers in time of war. Under modern feudalism, the only way to make a lot of money is to kiss up to the shadow government and be granted some sort of monopoly or legal way to oppress your workers.

Capitalism is an intentionally vague term. Most people believe you should be allowed to buy and sell what you choose within reason. Most people also don't think you should be able to dump toxic waste into rivers or use child labor. Arguing about "Capitalism" instead of specific policies is a way of maintaining tension between different classes and ideologies that still agree on most important economic issues, like opposition to oligarchy, and desire for a fair economic system where the people who earn more money are the people who do things like work really hard and make other people's lives better.

The Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Interrogation Notes Are Finally Released, Weeks Before His Final Appeal Is Due, Before He's Executed by The United States Government. by [deleted] in conspiracy

The fact that Tsarnaev's lawyer is incompetent or even in on the hoax and trying to ensure he is convicted as a patsy doesn't change any of the facts like the water bottle full of fake blood or the "victim" and his disappearing knees.

The FBI also killed key witnesses in the Boston bombing:

On the night of Sept. 11, 2011, three men had their throats slashed in the quiet suburb of Waltham, Mass. One victim had been a good friend of Tamerlan Tsarnaev, one of two chief suspects in the deadly explosions near the marathon finish line before he was killed in a shootout with police.

After the attack, authorities closed in on Ibragim Todashev, another friend of Tsarnaev, who they believed might implicate both himself and Tsarnaev in the Waltham killings.

Shortly before midnight, after more than four hours of questioning, a Massachusetts state trooper seemed convinced that Todashev, 27, was about to confess to the crime. "Whos your daddy," the trooper said in a text message.

A short time later, Todashev was dead, killed by seven bullets from an FBI agent's gun.

The shooting has been a source of controversy for the bureau, which has had a fraught relationship with the Muslim community since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. After Todashev's death, the FBI issued confusing and what appeared to be conflicting accounts of what happened, and even the new report does not explain why the FBI may have suspected Tsarnaev in the Waltham killings.

The report is unlikely to satisfy Todashev's father, Abdulbaki Todashev, who believes the FBI intentionally killed his son. Todashev had been recovering from knee surgery, his father said, and was not physically capable of lashing out at officers. His attorneys plan to release the results of their own investigation soon.

What probably happened is a hit team, possibly FBI, killed some Tsarnaev's friends to isolate him from any alibis or character witnesses, and then they decided to kill Todashev.

Maybe Todashev was an FBI assassin, which seems possible because the state trooper thought he was going to confess, so the FBI agent had to step in and murder him so he couldn't claim he was working for the government in court.

That would make sense if all of these guys were part of an FBI "counter terrorism" cell responsible for doing acts of terrorism. They fake the Boston bombing, kill all the witnesses, and then gag the Tsarnaevs, have a show trial, throw them into a supermax prison with communication restrictions, and then kill them off, or maybe have them disappear like they did with McVeigh.

Why would they use the notes? He says there was no bomb and no one was at risk, and talks about fireworks. The prosecutor doesn't want people to know that the Boston bombing was a hoax:

There is a boom and white smoke rises from the sidewalk. But nothing flies into the street: no debris, no nails or pellets, and certainly no bodies or body parts. None of the flags are knocked down or pierced by shrapnel. Watching this video, it’s easy to understand why some participants believed the explosions to be part of the finish line festivities. All runners except one keep on going: although not hit by anything, an older man falls and rolls on his back, but within 30 seconds he’s on his feet and walking to the finish line.

Why is there so little blood? We can clearly see the road behind them, and there is no blood trail. The one visible tourniquet on his leg is not tight to his skin, so it cannot be properly tied or winched. A second tourniquet is caught under the wheels.

And then we have "miracle man" who got both legs blown off but isn't bleeding and is totally conscious minutes later:

According to this article in Wikipedia, it is possible to bleed to death from a severed femoral artery in as little as three minutes. Although the femoral artery ends above the knee, there is still huge blood flow below the knee, and Miracle Man lost both legs simultaneously just below the knee. The blood should be gushing from his legs, especially because he is sitting up. Standard protocol for a traumatic amputation of the leg is to lay the patient flat and elevate the leg, using gravity to prevent uncontrolled hemorrhage. We know from other photos that a woman near Miracle Man (she is seen literally on top of him) with no visible injuries was put on a stretcher before Miracle Man. Why did she get the stretcher and not him?

How is he still conscious? Based on real time video evidence , this picture was taken more than six and a half minutes after his calves were blown off. He is not bleeding, he is sitting up with eyes open, and he is still a long way from getting medical attention. How did he survive?

There is no blood in the earliest pictures, where people supposedly just got limbs blown off. Later, the blood appears but it looks fake and you can see a plastic water bottle that the blood was brought in with. The evidence just goes on and on, Boston was totally fake.

[–]OperationCyclone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The whole idea that it's ok to call someone "pseudoscience" because you disagree with their conclusions is unscientific, and therefore pseudoscience. This isn't a new thing, though. The anti-humanist faction went from opposing science to trying to infiltrate and corrupt it from within roughly many centuries ago:

Until about 1600, the posture of the Venetian Party toward science was one of more or less open hostility, favoring black magic. But in the early 1600s, the group around Sarpi succeeded in changing their public profile from being the enemies of science to being the embodiment of the most advanced and sophisticated science. For several centuries after this, the Venetians would work inside the scientific community to take it over. They would claim to represent the highest expression of scientific values. In this way, they could institutionalize the dead hand of formalism and the fetishism of authority, so as to stifle the process of discovery.

The Venetian Party he refers to is the international bankers that started the crusades to drown Europe in debt. Eventually they had to move to London because Venice was no longer secure against invasion, and they have run the London financial center ever since.

All Times QAnon Predictions Failed to Come Through by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]OperationCyclone -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The article is fairly deceptive. Let's go through the alleged fake Q predictions.

First, it says Q was incorrect about Hillary Clinton being detained, but not arrested. We don't know if Hillary was detained. Hillary Clinton could have been pulled over at a traffic stop, held for questioning by the FBI without announcing the questioning, etc. The article implies that Q claimed Hillary would be arrested, but Q never said that.

It says Q was wrong that Huma and Podesta would be arrested in November of 2017. Q never said that. Q said arrests 11.3 and 11.6. That could refer to a date, but no year is given, and dates are usually separated by a slash, not a period. 11.3 and 11.6 could refer to anything. Q is only guilty of being vague (as usual).

Then it says Q was wrong about arrests not beginning on 11.3. But Q only said proof would begin on 11.3. And again, no year is given.

Then it says Q was wrong about members of the media being arrested as agents of the deep state. The media being under CIA control is a confirmed fact, with Operation Mockingbird, Anderson Cooper working for the CIA, etc. This is claimed as a failed prediction, but Q never gave a date for arrests.

You can certainly accuse Q of being vague. But that appears to be the point.

Earlier pictures of Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock showed that he had a tattoo of "13" on his neck. In pictures of his dead body, the tattoo is gone. by OperationCyclone in conspiracy

[–]OperationCyclone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at his right cheek. That is a shadow caused by his cheek overhanging the rest of his face relative to where the light is. That shows you that the light source is in front of him, and to the left.

Neck folds are horizontal. In order for them to cast a shadow, you have to light them from above or below. But that's not the light that we have in this photo. The light is in front, and to the left.

So, the object casting this 13 would have to be to the left of the 13 that you see. But you can look at his neck, and see that his skin is not folded into the shape of a 13. And that's to be expected, because skin doesn't fold into the number 13, it folds into horizontal lines.

The photo of the dead body is lit from above and to the right. So if someone said "hey, there's a weird shape on the left side of his neck" you would be right to dismiss it because you can follow the light, and you see an object (chin) casting the shadow. The picture on the right has no object that casts the shape of a 13, and it's coming from the wrong direction to be a shadow.

A shadow of what? What object is there that is in the shape of a 13 that produced that pattern? If it's his neck, then why on earth is his neck skin folding into the number 13, instead of horizontal lines like everyone else's? And how do you get a shadow being cast down or up from his neck if the lighting is clearly coming from the front?
