By checking the angle of the bullet entry wound you can determine from what floor
the sniper was when he shot the victim at the concert in Las Vegas.

Green Crow asked me via e-mail:
“Have you seen any links about this?
“trump’s going to “surprise” the world with a series of three speeches and reveal some “conspiracy theories”? I saw a link about this on my blogroll this morning but when I went back to read it, it was gone.”
The nature of the type of incident we’re dealing with here, particularly when it is fresh and florid, is that things come and go. People think twice about what they said, or the statement gets “disappeared”, or who knows what?. It is supremely difficult to verify that these things happened, or prove anything about them. Right now, there is enough rabid activity circulating around Donald Trump to fill a black hole. Add in the issues of possible war with China, Russia, Iran and the US —see Paul Craig Roberts — (all of whom have very active cyber-warfare capabilities), and the people around the world can do nothing but remain confused and out-of-the-loop (which is the purpose).
As has been said in many places, we are all supposed to throw up our hands in disgust and dismay and pour ourselves a stiff drink and turn on the boob tube so we can cheer for our favorite regional group of overpaid athletic gladiators.
It has been noted elsewhere that apparently the LV sheriff who raised the question of multiple shooters has been at least temporarily replaced by a new deputy (it may be nothing more than fatigue at play here) and that the official story has centered on the lone shooter.

LAS VEGAS MASSACRE: AN ONGOING POLICE STATE OP

Stephen Paddock: Isis insists Las Vegas shooter was ‘soldier of caliphate’ as authorities probe gunman’s motive | 06 oct 2017 | Isis has repeated its claim of responsibility for the Las Vegas attack while alleging that Stephen Paddock converted to Islam six months ago. Investigators have not yet confirmed any link between the 64-year-old gunman and the terrorist group, with his girlfriend and relatives claiming he had no religious affiliation and was not an extremist. In a new issue of its Arabic propaganda newspaper, Isis celebrated the worst mass shooting in modern American history with a graphic showing the Mandalay Bay hotel and casino stained blood red.

Former Trump Campaign Official Claims Las Vegas Shooter Made ISIS Tape | 06 Oct 2017 | A former Trump campaign official is making extraordinary claims he was leaked information from within the White House that Las Vegas massacre gunman Stephen Paddock made an ISIS propaganda tape and that authorities are refusing to reveal that the mass shooting was a terror attack. Former Massachusetts Trump campaign official James Brower posted a series of tweets last night claiming he was leaked information about Paddock being inspired by ISIS to carry out the mass shooting. “There is a video, this video will prove the motive. He had a secret digital profile that was uncovered over the last 24 hrs,” claims Brower.

Puzzled
“Vegas Shooter Investigators “Puzzled”, Believe He Was Not Alone For Two Reasons”. You don’t make $5 million a year playing slot machines, but it is a good way to launder money, and the rich-old-dude-who-likes-to-throw-his-money-away is a good cover. The casinos aren’t supposed to let you do this, but . . .
I am still quite taken with the idea that he was some sort of covert operator, using his mythological wealth as a cover.
/pol/ is surprisingly useless on this topic, but they are fascinated that the casino gave him free sushi (‘comped’). I did find a meme.
“Las Vegas, Conspiracies and ISIS”. Maybe, but this conversion/violent religious mania is really a young man’s game. The typical European jihadi who ends up in Syria comes from a broken home with a history of drug abuse and a sad life, who is fooled into thinking Islam, a peculiarly violent Wahhabist devotion to Islam, will be the cure.
Rita Katz is pushing the Islamophobic angle.
The Valium he was apparently prescribed isn’t the kind of drug that causes people to snap into a violent rage, and this attack was obviously long planned.
A Godlike Productions thread.
I am very curious about this bump stock story. He was so far away from his target that he had an extremely narrow angle in which to shoot. Any shots that hit the area would be deadly, as it was basically a tightly packed barrel of meat, but was he even capable of sustained targeting of the area, bouncing around with the recoil? I am not saying it didn’t happen – the crisis actor assholes have gone beyond lame – but a second or third shooter, who actually did most of the damage, makes a lot more sense. That makes Paddock the patsy, the loud target of law enforcement, behind the obvious broken window, who falsely believed he would be able to get away (and, I assume, flee to the Philippines). I note that he appears to have used his own name, and made absolutely no effort to cover his identity.

Eerie Predictions in Vegas… Cui Bono?
Do keep in mind this video got 315 thousand views between October 4 and October 6.
No one could get into the shooter’s room for 72 minutes in a hotel which has its own mini fusion center.
It showed an ad for fake crowds on Craigslist in Vegas 2 weeks before. It showed Clintonista Rahm Emmanuel saying,” Never let a serious crisis go to waste.”
It showed a Sept 11 warning from an anonymous poster to not go outside in Las Vegas that day and maybe beware of going out in Vegas in the near future. He further stated that the “high incident project” was designed to promulgate increased security laws in coming years.
It reported that James J Murren, The CEO of MGM Resorts International, which owns the Mandalay Bay Casino, is on the Homeland Security National Association Advisory Council. There they discussed increasing public acceptance of security x ray and backscatter machines.
It showed the NYT and Fox News have already put up articles easing the transition to such machines in hotels. The Huffington Post already reminded us how easily we adjusted to the airport x ray machines.
The CEO of the Chertoff Group, heavily involved in this technology, advocated screening technology on national TV already.
They did note that under Obama the focus would have been gun control. Under the GOP it is increased security spending.

Some statement to the effect that coverage is confusing and that they’d prefer to err on the side of caution rather than report or speculate would be acceptable for a day or two, but ignoring the event for an extended period of time starts to look like three-day-old chipped beef on toast.

Crack Bowl
“Israeli ambassador pushes potential war to elite U.S. powerbrokers” (at the end is a great list of, um, patriotic Americans who attended). “National Holocaust Monument plaque pulled after panel omits mention of Jews” (spectacular title; there are still lots of woke people in the Canadian bureaucracy, so I doubt this is a mistake!; Linda is David’s sister).
“Trump’s America is Not Just Losing, it has Already Lost to Iran”.
“Syria – Russia Issues Third Warning Against U.S. Cooperation With Terrorists” (Moon).
“Kurdish Secession US Plot to Create New ‘Israel’: Leader Tells Erdogan”.
The conspiracy view of Catalonian separation: “The Catalan Chain Reaction” (Korybko). The European Union seems quite aware of what is going on. The bigger picture is obviously a series of more color revolutions by you-know-who to weaken Europe to prevent it from interfering in any Ziowahhabican projects, as if Europe could possibly be any weaker than it already is! Catalonia will be punished with economic ruin as a warning to to others by refusing to grant it automatic admission to the Union.
“The US-Based Armenian Lobby Is on a Mission to Provoke Azerbaijan and Russia” (Korybko). For the love of God, don’t notice a pattern!
“One of Puerto Rico’s biggest creditors is also big funder of Israeli propaganda” (Weiss). “Billionaire Seth Klarman, donor to Israel causes, is one of the largest holders of Puerto Rican debt”. Avert your eyes, for as often as this kind of thing keeps popping up, it is ‘anti-Semitic’ to notice. Weiss continues his schizophrenic role of dutifully criticizing noticers like Giraldi and Plame as ‘anti-Semites’, while being one of the major sources of information on the subject from which no conclusions dare be drawn.
“Russia threatens ‘countermeasures’ as Magnitsky law nears passage”. “Canada’s House of Commons Passes Magnitsky-Style Law” (277-0!). All based on a discredited fairy tale: “How my book unmasking Bill Browder was censored by Amazon by Alex Krainer”. A serious embarrassment for Canada, with the original movie now unviewable – as it doesn’t show what it was paid to show! – and the formerly reliably anti-Putin documentarian thus a ‘Kremlin Stooge’.
“Intercept Augments Its Anti-Syrian Stable” (Moon). We still await with bated breath the resignation over the Reality Winner debacle of at least one of these vaunted progressive journalists in Crazy Pierre’s extremely well-paid stable.
“The Mystery of the Russia-gate Puppies” (Parry). As each salvo fizzles out they turn to a new one, the latest being doubling back to the Steele dossier (which had previously been discarded as a damp – so to speak – squib).
Tweets on the integrity of ISIS attribution claims!
Tragic decision by small-minded municipal politicians to stifle the sheer joy of local residents in referring to the stadium as the Crack Bowl. Fifty years from now, children would ask ‘Mommy, why is it called the Crack Bowl?’, leading to an educational discussion of the perils of addiction (and general assholery) and the utter fecklessness of moron voters.

There’s a new Soros in town: Alexander Soros, billionaire George Soros’ bachelor son, has maintained a low profile in the nonprofit world. But that’s quickly changing, writes CRC’s Jacob Grandstaff, as this year Alexander Soros overtook his father in political contributions by nearly $40,000. The younger Soros has maxed out contributions to the Democratic Party and a bevy of Democratic senators; in addition he runs the Alexander Soros Foundation, which works alongside his father’s Open Society Foundations (whose board he sits on) to fund far-left causes. Is Alexander Soros about to succeed his father in left-wing politics?

Our Minds Can Be Hijacked: The Tech Insiders Who Fear a Smartphone Dystopia
October 6th, 2017
Via: Guardian:
There is growing concern that as well as addicting users, technology is contributing toward so-called “continuous partial attention”, severely limiting people’s ability to focus, and possibly lowering IQ. One recent study showed that the mere presence of smartphones damages cognitive capacity – even when the device is turned off. “Everyone is distracted,” Rosenstein says. “All of the time.”

Catalexit Is On, Baby! Spanish King Whines In Epic Snowflake Protest
Original article “As reported previously, in a sternly worded address to the nation, Spain’s King Felipe VI condemned organizers of Catalonia’s independence referendum for having put themselves “outside the law” and said the situation in Spain was “extremely serious”, calling for unity. In his address, King Felipe VI said Catalan leaders who organized the referendum showed their “disrespect to the powers of the state” adding that “they have broken the democratic principles of the rule of law.”

Any shots that hit the area would be deadly, as it was basically a tightly packed barrel of meat, but was he even capable of sustained targeting of the area, bouncing around with the recoil? I am not saying it didn’t happen – the crisis actor assholes have gone beyond lame – but a second or third shooter, who actually did most of the damage, makes a lot more sense. That makes Paddock the patsy, the loud target of law enforcement, behind the obvious broken window, who falsely believed he would be able to get away (and, I assume, flee to the Philippines). I note that he appears to have used his own name, and made absolutely no effort to cover his identity.

Eerie Predictions in Vegas… Cui Bono?
Do keep in mind this video got 315 thousand views between October 4 and October 6.
No one could get into the shooter’s room for 72 minutes in a hotel which has its own mini fusion center.
It showed an ad for fake crowds on Craigslist in Vegas 2 weeks before. It showed Clintonista Rahm Emmanuel saying,” Never let a serious crisis go to waste.”
It showed a Sept 11 warning from an anonymous poster to not go outside in Las Vegas that day and maybe beware of going out in Vegas in the near future. He further stated that the “high incident project” was designed to promulgate increased security laws in coming years.
It reported that James J Murren, The CEO of MGM Resorts International, which owns the Mandalay Bay Casino, is on the Homeland Security National Association Advisory Council. There they discussed increasing public acceptance of security x ray and backscatter machines.
It showed the NYT and Fox News have already put up articles easing the transition to such machines in hotels. The Huffington Post already reminded us how easily we adjusted to the airport x ray machines.
The CEO of the Chertoff Group, heavily involved in this technology, advocated screening technology on national TV already.
They did note that under Obama the focus would have been gun control. Under the GOP it is increased security spending.

RiceFarmer has not yet posted. Naked Civilization won’t touch the subject of what down in Vegas, further lowering their credibility to a virtual zero in my book. Some statement to the effect that coverage is confusing and that they’d prefer to err on the side of caution rather than report or speculate would be acceptable for a day or two, but ignoring the event for an extended period of time starts to look like three-day-old chipped beef on toast.

Crack Bowl
“Israeli ambassador pushes potential war to elite U.S. powerbrokers” (at the end is a great list of, um, patriotic Americans who attended). “National Holocaust Monument plaque pulled after panel omits mention of Jews” (spectacular title; there are still lots of woke people in the Canadian bureaucracy, so I doubt this is a mistake!; Linda is David’s sister).
“Trump’s America is Not Just Losing, it has Already Lost to Iran”.
“Syria – Russia Issues Third Warning Against U.S. Cooperation With Terrorists” (Moon).
“Kurdish Secession US Plot to Create New ‘Israel’: Leader Tells Erdogan”.
The conspiracy view of Catalonian separation: “The Catalan Chain Reaction” (Korybko). The European Union seems quite aware of what is going on. The bigger picture is obviously a series of more color revolutions by you-know-who to weaken Europe to prevent it from interfering in any Ziowahhabican projects, as if Europe could possibly be any weaker than it already is! Catalonia will be punished with economic ruin as a warning to to others by refusing to grant it automatic admission to the Union.
“The US-Based Armenian Lobby Is on a Mission to Provoke Azerbaijan and Russia” (Korybko). For the love of God, don’t notice a pattern!
“One of Puerto Rico’s biggest creditors is also big funder of Israeli propaganda” (Weiss). “Billionaire Seth Klarman, donor to Israel causes, is one of the largest holders of Puerto Rican debt”. Avert your eyes, for as often as this kind of thing keeps popping up, it is ‘anti-Semitic’ to notice. Weiss continues his schizophrenic role of dutifully criticizing noticers like Giraldi and Plame as ‘anti-Semites’, while being one of the major sources of information on the subject from which no conclusions dare be drawn.
“Russia threatens ‘countermeasures’ as Magnitsky law nears passage”. “Canada’s House of Commons Passes Magnitsky-Style Law” (277-0!). All based on a discredited fairy tale: “How my book unmasking Bill Browder was censored by Amazon by Alex Krainer”. A serious embarrassment for Canada, with the original movie now unviewable – as it doesn’t show what it was paid to show! – and the formerly reliably anti-Putin documentarian thus a ‘Kremlin Stooge’.
“Intercept Augments Its Anti-Syrian Stable” (Moon). We still await with bated breath the resignation over the Reality Winner debacle of at least one of these vaunted progressive journalists in Crazy Pierre’s extremely well-paid stable.
“The Mystery of the Russia-gate Puppies” (Parry). As each salvo fizzles out they turn to a new one, the latest being doubling back to the Steele dossier (which had previously been discarded as a damp – so to speak – squib).
Tweets on the integrity of ISIS attribution claims!
Tragic decision by small-minded municipal politicians to stifle the sheer joy of local residents in referring to the stadium as the Crack Bowl. Fifty years from now, children would ask ‘Mommy, why is it called the Crack Bowl?’, leading to an educational discussion of the perils of addiction (and general assholery) and the utter fecklessness of moron voters.

There’s a new Soros in town: Alexander Soros, billionaire George Soros’ bachelor son, has maintained a low profile in the nonprofit world. But that’s quickly changing, writes CRC’s Jacob Grandstaff, as this year Alexander Soros overtook his father in political contributions by nearly $40,000. The younger Soros has maxed out contributions to the Democratic Party and a bevy of Democratic senators; in addition he runs the Alexander Soros Foundation, which works alongside his father’s Open Society Foundations (whose board he sits on) to fund far-left causes. Is Alexander Soros about to succeed his father in left-wing politics?

Our Minds Can Be Hijacked: The Tech Insiders Who Fear a Smartphone Dystopia
October 6th, 2017
Via: Guardian:
There is growing concern that as well as addicting users, technology is contributing toward so-called “continuous partial attention”, severely limiting people’s ability to focus, and possibly lowering IQ. One recent study showed that the mere presence of smartphones damages cognitive capacity – even when the device is turned off. “Everyone is distracted,” Rosenstein says. “All of the time.”

“The future is little teams operating on land, in the air, and online, taking on enemies that haven’t declared themselves.
The U.S. Army’s new draft strategy for 2025 to 2040 expects enemies to attack ever more lethally in multiple domains — land, sea, air, space, and online — while blurring the distinction between peace and war. To meet these foes, the strategy says, the Army of the future must be much more mobile, with small teams that can fight like today’s large units — and do it in every domain of warfare, simultaneously.
The Army’s Training and Doctrine Command, or TRADOC, creates guides that the Army uses to draft field manuals and train troops for tomorrow’s fights. On Monday, they released a draft of their newest “concept document” that lays out the Army’s best guess about the enemy of the future. Titled “Multi-Domain Battle: Evolution of Combined Arms for the 21st Century, 2025-2040,” it repeats one key point over and over again: Adversaries will make life as difficult as possible for U.S. troops by not declaring themselves to be the enemy, or, as the concept puts it, by “combining regular and irregular forces with criminal and terrorist enterprises to attack the Joint Force’s vulnerabilities while avoiding its strength.”
That idea is not entirely new. The world got a great glimpse of what modern, blended warfare looks like when thousands of little green men invaded Ukraine’s Crimean peninsula in 2014.
“Adversaries have blurred the distinction between actions ‘below armed conflict’ and ‘conflict,’ enabling the achievement of strategic military objectives short of what the U.S. traditionally considers ‘war,’” the document says.
The concept goes on to describe four other reasons the Army cannot successfully fight wars the way it has in the past:
The exponential speed of information technology. U.S. forces can’t assume that they will have the best phones, drones, or computer hardware on the battlefield. As computers get smaller, cheaper, and more widely available, U.S. tech advantages will disintegrate.
2. Warfare will be much more urban. Some 60 percent (conservatively) of the Earth’s population will live in cities in 2030, many in megacities with populations of more than 10 million. This is where adversaries will try to engage U.S. forces, not in open fields or deserts where today’s Army and it senormous battle vehicles have the advantage.
3. The internet will be a key aspect of the battlefield, not just in terms of trading cyber attacks with enemy hackers but in the need to constantly and expertly shape global opinion about the conflict. Troll armies spreading fake news and disinformation, coupled with enough social-media traffic to overwhelm open-source analysts, could “complicate the [Army’s] ability to gain and maintain an accurate, up-to-date, intelligence-driven understanding of the situation, as well as control of the information environment,” the document says.
4. Every bad guy becomes The Joker. The Army sees a rise of “Super-empowered individuals and small groups” who can “use access to cyberspace, space, and nuclear, biological, radiological, and chemical weapons of mass effects to change the battlespace calculus and redefine the conditions of conflict resolution.” Read that to mean: lone wolves and minescule teams with the power to rival many of today’s nation-states.
Even the spread of personal phones and the internet of things will make U.S. troops easier targets. “Unmanaged signatures will become a critical U.S. vulnerability because the adversary’s forces will increasingly possess the ability to find and attack U.S. and allied forces at strategic, operational, and tactical distances simultaneously,” the document says.
To fight in this environment, the Army will move toward smaller, much more versatile, and more capable formations — somewhat like today’s special operations forces that can embark on a wide variety of missions. These “semi-independent” formations won’t just be tasked with winning territory and holding it. They’ll have to do everything from flying drones (and defending against them) to shooting missiles deep into enemy territory (and getting the targeting data to do it) to outflanking the bad guys in cyberspace. And they’ll have to do it with less protection. “Formations must maneuver semi-independently, without secured flanks, constant communications with higher headquarters, and continuous lines of communications,” the document says.
The “semi-independent” part is key. The Army still sees these smaller groups as connected to a much larger whole — perhaps even more so — but that doesn’t mean a return to large tank formations.
Nor does it mean that every tiny, mobile, Swiss-Army-knife formation will also carry an enormous missile battery. Rather, little teams will have to be able to access capabilities like drones and fire support from somewhere, but the capabilities themselves will likely be shared — similar to how people use Uber.
This idea of small, nimble, loosely connected nodes in sprawling networks fits well with what other services’ leaders have described as the future of the Navy and the Air Force. It’s a future where every nodes become smaller, and where connections grow in number even as connectivity itself is challenged.

What the hell happened with my post? I did not link to whatdoesitmean.com! I linked to an article by Maria Hsia Chang, former professor at U of Nevada at Reno, aka Dr. Eowyn, regarding false flags. Even though I disagree with her on most of her claims, she gave a really good explanation that false flags do NOT mean that nobody died. It just means that the govt planned and carried out a huge ruse de guerre to alrm us, to frighten us, to lead us to the conclusion they desire. And then Wayne responds, alluding to Dr. Eowyn. This is really weird. At any rate, I think the Vegas massacre was a false flag AND innocent lives were lost. Going back to govt-staged attacks such as Operation Northwoods, it is apparently a time-honored tradition of sadistic and demonic underworld controllers of our country to pick and choose which amongst us are totally disposable.

Dear Dr. Jim Fetzer–
Where in Heaven or God’s Good Earth are the background files and artifacts from Mr. Stephen Paddock’s life? He was 64 years old. As such, there should be a motherlode!
Here’s a quick list off the top of my head (not necessarily in this order:
photo IDs, driver’s license(s)
pilot’s license
credit cards
store cards
on-line accounts (Amazon, etc)
golf club membership
club memberships
passport
birth certificate
elementary school records/high school records/college records (if any)
professional accounting education/training certifications
IRS, states and local accountant numbers used in filings
medical records
property deeds and transactions
mortgages
telephone records
Internet search records
tax records (local, federal, states)
credit reports
CV/resume/names of past employers/dates
list of private clients
names of relatives, friends, close business associates, wives
FAA flight records, manifests, flight plans, etc (national and international)
Files from Goddard, JPL, Lockheed and contractors, others
national and international banking account records
national and international wire transfers
security camera shots and scenes from all the casinos, hotels and other venues he ever used, including government facilities
airport security camera shots and scenes
Selective Service/draft/military records (the man is Vietnam era ripe for draft; Philippines may be where he evolved relationship while on leave for RR at places like Subic Bay or Manila, or elsewhere
records from the governments of nations he visited and did business in
records from international clients
the plethora of photos that would accrue from the lifetime of a man his age
etc., etc., etc.
I’m sure the pros of Team Fetzer will be able to augment this list in no time!
ALL OF THIS IS MISSING after a week of investigation by all local, federal and state agencies here and around the world? @#!!$#!%!
If we had even a fraction of this information, which I’m sure DoD, DHS and other federal agencies have on every American from databases such as Rumsfeld’s Total Awareness Program and its successors at DoD, not to mention credit reporting agencies, you’d be able to discern who this man was in the world. The fact that we have seen only two or three images of the man alive and dead (?) and none of the above PROVES there is an enormous cover-up underway and that the Las Vegas Massacre is a government protected, if not evolved and choreographed operation from top to bottom.
Moreover, why have we seen no information about the drill that began at the Mandalay at midnight, the night before the massacre? Nor records from it?
Plus, the ISIS claims are nonsense! We know from the results of forensic investigations undertaken and reported by Jim Fetzer and others, which include documentary evidence, such as photos with even the likes of John McCain (arrgghh!), that ISIS is a USA-created counter-gang death squad trained in Jordan and formed to continue the War on Terror AFTER al Qaeda lost credibility in the minds of billions, right? Moreover, Putin made public pronouncements saying the same thing that go back to at least 2014:
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/putin-is ... 00754.html
Must Watch: Putin Blows The Whistle On Who Really Created ISIS And How It Continues To Grow
http://www.stillnessinthestorm.com/2015 ... lasts.html
All this said, there must be tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of American and Allied local, state, federal, military actors involved in this operation, not to mention MSM, which has raised none of these questions. They can’t possibly keep a lid on this much longer–unless, of course, these lunatics launch more domestic or international terror, a war in Korea, or the wet dream of the Masons, Illuminati, Satanists, Jacobean-Sabbateans, and lunatic fundamentalists, World War III.

Stephen Paddock who Alledgedly “SHOT UP VEGAS” Has been running the largest Child-Sex Operation in USA since 1980’s – Ran SE-ASIAN children between LV Air-Force Bases and Philpine Island US Bases (pizzagate)
submitted 18 hours ago by nsaeatsshit
Cameron Freeman writes: “When we start to dig deeper into the background of the Las Vegas patsy, things start to get very dark. Given that he stopped working in the 1980’s after leaving the deep state defense contractor Thiokol, the most obvious question is how did Steven Paddock make his millions? We know he owned two planes and had a pilots license. And we also know that his main company since 2004 is called Paradise Ranch, a joint venture with the Philippine Children’s Fund of America, a CA charity that “”Provides a transitional home for American children we fly from the Philippines”. Now, strangely enough, there is also a Paradise Ranch in the Philippines, his partners home country. And this Paradise Ranch is right next to a former US Air Force base in the Clark Freeport Zone in Angeles City – a very well-known site of large-scale sex trafficking, So the obvious question is, did Paddock make his millions as an ex-CIA pilot running a human sex trafficking ring out of the Phillipines? A Pedogate connection would explain a lot of the weirdness and evasiveness surrounding the official story here, hey?” — Cameron Freeman I personally have not verified the above. There has been rampant speculation & rumor that Paddock may have been running guns for the FBI or CIA to ISIS, who has a stronghold in the Philippines. The observations above by Cameron suggest he may have also been running something else. #Pizzagate / #Pedogate / #ChildTrafficking

DAILY MAIL REPORTS: VEGAS PROSTITUTE SAID PADDOCK ENJOYED VIOLENT RAPE FANTASIES, WOULD OFTEN RANT ABOUT CONSPIRACY THEORIES INCLUDING HOW 9/11 WAS ORCHESTRATED BY THE US GOVERNMENT
A Las Vegas prostitute who was hired by murderer Stephen Paddock has spoken out about their ‘violent’ sex sessions and how he bragged about having ‘bad blood’. The woman, who spoke anonymously, said she would spent hours drinking and gambling in Sin City with Paddock, who she described as ‘paranoid’ and ‘obsessive’.
SOURCE: DAILY MAIL
A Las Vegas prostitute who was hired by murderer Stephen Paddock has spoken out about their ‘violent’ sex sessions and how he bragged about having ‘bad blood’.
The woman, who spoke anonymously, said she would spent hours drinking and gambling in Sin City with Paddock, who she described as ‘paranoid’ and ‘obsessive’.
If he hit a winning streak, he would take her back to his room for ‘really aggressive and violent sex’ including living out rape fantasies, she said.
The 27-year-old, who was not named, described Paddock as ‘paranoid’, ‘obsessive’, and said he ranted about conspiracy theories including 9/11 being ‘an inside job’ (pictured, the hotel from which Paddock carried out his killings)
Police are questioning Las Vegas prostitutes as they try to ascertain a motive for the worst mass shooting in American history. A note with a number of phone numbers on it was found in Paddock’s hotel room which police are using to make inquiries
Paddock also boasted about his bank-robber father, saying that ‘the bad streak is in my blood’ and ‘I was born bad’, according to texts seen by the Sun on Sunday.
The 27-year-old woman said Paddock, 64, would often rant about conspiracy theories including how 9/11 was orchestrated by the US government.
The escort, who said Paddock paid her $6,000-a-time for their meetings, also had texts in which he described tying her up ‘while you scream for help’.

“if their plan is successful state of nevada will pass a law in the future making all casinos have mandatory metal detectors and backscatter machines. soon after a federal law will be passed to put these machines in universities, high schools, federal buildings, you name it. osi systems and chertoff are the main producers of these machines. sometime around 2020 chertoff and osi will merge into a single company. after they merge the owners will sell off all their stock and make billions in profit. mr chertoff has been in contact with sheldon adelson. mr adelson will become a huge sponsor of these machines and he will be the first to put them in his casinos when the law passes. this is my last message for now. don’t expect me to return anytime soon

Backscatter X-ray security machines (dangerous for health and privacy, and thus a hard sell unless we think we’re all going to die without them). OSI Systems. Michael Chertoff. Sheldon Adelson. “High incident project”.
The gun nut screaming is a distraction – it had nothing to do with gun control. The mystery of how he got all those guns into the hotel room is the biggest part of the story, the part you are supposed to remember and worry about. But hey, it’s lucky that somebody has a technological solution to the problem!
Note how Paddock came out of the blue, no ‘radicalization’, no hints of plans, nothing. No way to profile or stop him with any kind of police work or counter-terrorism. Note also the reports that he had booked rooms in other hotels overlooking large groups of people. There is literally no way to keep Americans safe unless all hotels have the type of scanning that would prevent large amounts of guns from being taken into buildings. People are going to make billions off this. Naturally, the hotel industry can’t be expected to pay for this without government assistance.
Chertoff is up to his neck in so much of this stuff going back to the 90s, profiting all the way, that it is baffling that he is not on the radar with each ‘terrorist’ attack.

NEW VIDEO EMERGES CLEARLY CAPTURING APPARENT OVERLAPPING GUNFIRE AT LAS VEGAS CONCERT
A new video has emerged from the night of the Las Vegas shooting that appears to show overlapping gunfire coming from multiple locations, which clearly contradicts the mainstream narrative of what occurred on the night 59 people were killed and over 500 were injured. The video is under 3 minutes long and was filmed by an individual who appears to be hiding near a gate during the shooting. While crowds of people can be seen running from the area, the person filming the video is staying low to the ground with a group of people who are encouraging others to take cover, instead of running out into the open. “No, we are NOT moving. Just stay down,” one girl says. “Don’t leave, just stay down!” SOURCE: RACHEL BLEVINS

Since 2016, Cops have Killed 3 Times as Many Citizens Than 4 Decades of Mass Shootings COMBINED
Original article “If we were to compare the 700 citizens killed in mass shootings to citizens killed by police in the same time frame, the comparison would be off the charts. So, for the sake of simplicity, we will compare all of the mass shooting deaths in the last 35 years, to the number of citizens killed by police this year.”

“… When all five mainstream news channels are reporting exactly the same thing, that’s usually because they’re all lying in unison. It’s all the same news because they all got the same memo that morning. In contrast, real journalists don’t achieve 100% conformity in their analyses. (Only fake news is homogenized for your mindless consumption.)….”

In a dramatic shift to the original Las Vegas shooting narrative, over a week after Stephen Paddock rained down bullets on a crowd and killed 58 people, late on Monday Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo drastically changed the timeline of the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history, and now the gunman allegedly opened fire on a security guard six minutes before he unleashed the massacre. Officials had previously claimed that Paddock, 64, shot Mandalay Bay security guard Jesus Campos only after Paddock had started shooting at the Route 91 Harvest country-music festival from his 32nd-floor hotel suite on Oct. 1.
The revision to the story also undermines the story surrounding the end of the shooting: officials had previously credited Campos, who was shot in the leg, with stopping the 10-minute assault by turning the gunman’s attention to the hotel hallway, where Campos was checking an alert for an open door in another guest’s room. However, with the revelation that Campos was shot before his mass shooting, officials now admit they don’t know why he stopped his attack. More:

Forensic Acoustic Proof of SECOND Shooter in the Las Vegas Massacre
October 9th, 2017
Main post: Las Vegas: Worst Mass Shooting in U.S. History
Via: Mike Adams/ Health Ranger:
In essence, because of the differences in the speed of sound vs. the speed of the bullets from a known cartridge (.223 Remington, in this case), the time lag between the last bullet hitting the pavement and the last audible report of the rifle muzzle can be used to very accurately calculate the range of the shooter.
More importantly, when the audio from the Las Vegas shooting is analyzed, it reveals TWO shooters operating at the same time, not just one shooter. Shooter #1 is operating at 425 – 475 yards, which is consistent with the Mandalay Bay hotel, but shooter #2 is operating at approximately 250 – 270 yards.

The Harvey Weinstein tale looks pretty rancid.
Harvey Weinstein Paid Off Sexual Harassment Accusers for Decades | 05 Oct 2017 | An investigation by The New York Times found previously undisclosed allegations against Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein stretching over nearly three decades, documented through interviews with current and former employees and film industry workers, as well as legal records, emails and internal documents from the businesses he has run, Miramax and the Weinstein Company. During that time, after being confronted with allegations including sexual harassment and unwanted physical contact, Mr. Weinstein has reached at least eight settlements with women, according to two company officials speaking on the condition of anonymity…A longtime Democratic donor, he hosted a fund-raiser for Hillary Clinton in his Manhattan home last year. He employed Malia Obama, the oldest daughter of former President Barack Obama, as an intern this year, and recently helped endow a faculty chair at Rutgers University in Gloria Steinem’s name.

“The future is little teams operating on land, in the air, and online, taking on enemies that haven’t declared themselves.
The U.S. Army’s new draft strategy for 2025 to 2040 expects enemies to attack ever more lethally in multiple domains — land, sea, air, space, and online — while blurring the distinction between peace and war. To meet these foes, the strategy says, the Army of the future must be much more mobile, with small teams that can fight like today’s large units — and do it in every domain of warfare, simultaneously.
The Army’s Training and Doctrine Command, or TRADOC, creates guides that the Army uses to draft field manuals and train troops for tomorrow’s fights. On Monday, they released a draft of their newest “concept document” that lays out the Army’s best guess about the enemy of the future. Titled “Multi-Domain Battle: Evolution of Combined Arms for the 21st Century, 2025-2040,” it repeats one key point over and over again: Adversaries will make life as difficult as possible for U.S. troops by not declaring themselves to be the enemy, or, as the concept puts it, by “combining regular and irregular forces with criminal and terrorist enterprises to attack the Joint Force’s vulnerabilities while avoiding its strength.”
That idea is not entirely new. The world got a great glimpse of what modern, blended warfare looks like when thousands of little green men invaded Ukraine’s Crimean peninsula in 2014.
“Adversaries have blurred the distinction between actions ‘below armed conflict’ and ‘conflict,’ enabling the achievement of strategic military objectives short of what the U.S. traditionally considers ‘war,’” the document says.
The concept goes on to describe four other reasons the Army cannot successfully fight wars the way it has in the past:
The exponential speed of information technology. U.S. forces can’t assume that they will have the best phones, drones, or computer hardware on the battlefield. As computers get smaller, cheaper, and more widely available, U.S. tech advantages will disintegrate.
2. Warfare will be much more urban. Some 60 percent (conservatively) of the Earth’s population will live in cities in 2030, many in megacities with populations of more than 10 million. This is where adversaries will try to engage U.S. forces, not in open fields or deserts where today’s Army and it senormous battle vehicles have the advantage.
3. The internet will be a key aspect of the battlefield, not just in terms of trading cyber attacks with enemy hackers but in the need to constantly and expertly shape global opinion about the conflict. Troll armies spreading fake news and disinformation, coupled with enough social-media traffic to overwhelm open-source analysts, could “complicate the [Army’s] ability to gain and maintain an accurate, up-to-date, intelligence-driven understanding of the situation, as well as control of the information environment,” the document says.
4. Every bad guy becomes The Joker. The Army sees a rise of “Super-empowered individuals and small groups” who can “use access to cyberspace, space, and nuclear, biological, radiological, and chemical weapons of mass effects to change the battlespace calculus and redefine the conditions of conflict resolution.” Read that to mean: lone wolves and minescule teams with the power to rival many of today’s nation-states.
Even the spread of personal phones and the internet of things will make U.S. troops easier targets. “Unmanaged signatures will become a critical U.S. vulnerability because the adversary’s forces will increasingly possess the ability to find and attack U.S. and allied forces at strategic, operational, and tactical distances simultaneously,” the document says.
To fight in this environment, the Army will move toward smaller, much more versatile, and more capable formations — somewhat like today’s special operations forces that can embark on a wide variety of missions. These “semi-independent” formations won’t just be tasked with winning territory and holding it. They’ll have to do everything from flying drones (and defending against them) to shooting missiles deep into enemy territory (and getting the targeting data to do it) to outflanking the bad guys in cyberspace. And they’ll have to do it with less protection. “Formations must maneuver semi-independently, without secured flanks, constant communications with higher headquarters, and continuous lines of communications,” the document says.
The “semi-independent” part is key. The Army still sees these smaller groups as connected to a much larger whole — perhaps even more so — but that doesn’t mean a return to large tank formations.
Nor does it mean that every tiny, mobile, Swiss-Army-knife formation will also carry an enormous missile battery. Rather, little teams will have to be able to access capabilities like drones and fire support from somewhere, but the capabilities themselves will likely be shared — similar to how people use Uber.
This idea of small, nimble, loosely connected nodes in sprawling networks fits well with what other services’ leaders have described as the future of the Navy and the Air Force. It’s a future where every nodes become smaller, and where connections grow in number even as connectivity itself is challenged.

What the hell happened with my post? I did not link to whatdoesitmean.com! I linked to an article by Maria Hsia Chang, former professor at U of Nevada at Reno, aka Dr. Eowyn, regarding false flags. Even though I disagree with her on most of her claims, she gave a really good explanation that false flags do NOT mean that nobody died. It just means that the govt planned and carried out a huge ruse de guerre to alrm us, to frighten us, to lead us to the conclusion they desire. And then Wayne responds, alluding to Dr. Eowyn. This is really weird. At any rate, I think the Vegas massacre was a false flag AND innocent lives were lost. Going back to govt-staged attacks such as Operation Northwoods, it is apparently a time-honored tradition of sadistic and demonic underworld controllers of our country to pick and choose which amongst us are totally disposable.
William Shanley (New Haven)
Dear Dr. Jim Fetzer–
Where in Heaven or God’s Good Earth are the background files and artifacts from Mr. Stephen Paddock’s life? He was 64 years old. As such, there should be a motherlode!
Here’s a quick list off the top of my head (not necessarily in this order:
photo IDs, driver’s license(s)
pilot’s license
credit cards
store cards
on-line accounts (Amazon, etc)
golf club membership
club memberships
passport
birth certificate
elementary school records/high school records/college records (if any)
professional accounting education/training certifications
IRS, states and local accountant numbers used in filings
medical records
property deeds and transactions
mortgages
telephone records
Internet search records
tax records (local, federal, states)
credit reports
CV/resume/names of past employers/dates
list of private clients
names of relatives, friends, close business associates, wives
FAA flight records, manifests, flight plans, etc (national and international)
Files from Goddard, JPL, Lockheed and contractors, others
national and international banking account records
national and international wire transfers
security camera shots and scenes from all the casinos, hotels and other venues he ever used, including government facilities
airport security camera shots and scenes
Selective Service/draft/military records (the man is Vietnam era ripe for draft; Philippines may be where he evolved relationship while on leave for RR at places like Subic Bay or Manila, or elsewhere
records from the governments of nations he visited and did business in
records from international clients
the plethora of photos that would accrue from the lifetime of a man his age
etc., etc., etc.
I’m sure the pros of Team Fetzer will be able to augment this list in no time!
ALL OF THIS IS MISSING after a week of investigation by all local, federal and state agencies here and around the world? @#!!$#!%!
If we had even a fraction of this information, which I’m sure DoD, DHS and other federal agencies have on every American from databases such as Rumsfeld’s Total Awareness Program and its successors at DoD, not to mention credit reporting agencies, you’d be able to discern who this man was in the world. The fact that we have seen only two or three images of the man alive and dead (?) and none of the above PROVES there is an enormous cover-up underway and that the Las Vegas Massacre is a government protected, if not evolved and choreographed operation from top to bottom.
Moreover, why have we seen no information about the drill that began at the Mandalay at midnight, the night before the massacre? Nor records from it?
Plus, the ISIS claims are nonsense! We know from the results of forensic investigations undertaken and reported by Jim Fetzer and others, which include documentary evidence, such as photos with even the likes of John McCain (arrgghh!), that ISIS is a USA-created counter-gang death squad trained in Jordan and formed to continue the War on Terror AFTER al Qaeda lost credibility in the minds of billions, right? Moreover, Putin made public pronouncements saying the same thing that go back to at least 2014:
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/putin-is ... 00754.html
Must Watch: Putin Blows The Whistle On Who Really Created ISIS And How It Continues To Grow
http://www.stillnessinthestorm.com/2015 ... lasts.html
All this said, there must be tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of American and Allied local, state, federal, military actors involved in this operation, not to mention MSM, which has raised none of these questions. They can’t possibly keep a lid on this much longer–unless, of course, these lunatics launch more domestic or international terror, a war in Korea, or the wet dream of the Masons, Illuminati, Satanists, Jacobean-Sabbateans, and lunatic fundamentalists, World War III.
Cheers!

Stephen Paddock who Alledgedly “SHOT UP VEGAS” Has been running the largest Child-Sex Operation in USA since 1980’s – Ran SE-ASIAN children between LV Air-Force Bases and Philpine Island US Bases (pizzagate)
submitted 18 hours ago by nsaeatsshit
Cameron Freeman writes: “When we start to dig deeper into the background of the Las Vegas patsy, things start to get very dark. Given that he stopped working in the 1980’s after leaving the deep state defense contractor Thiokol, the most obvious question is how did Steven Paddock make his millions? We know he owned two planes and had a pilots license. And we also know that his main company since 2004 is called Paradise Ranch, a joint venture with the Philippine Children’s Fund of America, a CA charity that “”Provides a transitional home for American children we fly from the Philippines”. Now, strangely enough, there is also a Paradise Ranch in the Philippines, his partners home country. And this Paradise Ranch is right next to a former US Air Force base in the Clark Freeport Zone in Angeles City – a very well-known site of large-scale sex trafficking, So the obvious question is, did Paddock make his millions as an ex-CIA pilot running a human sex trafficking ring out of the Phillipines? A Pedogate connection would explain a lot of the weirdness and evasiveness surrounding the official story here, hey?” — Cameron Freeman I personally have not verified the above. There has been rampant speculation & rumor that Paddock may have been running guns for the FBI or CIA to ISIS, who has a stronghold in the Philippines. The observations above by Cameron suggest he may have also been running something else. #Pizzagate / #Pedogate / #ChildTrafficking

DAILY MAIL REPORTS: VEGAS PROSTITUTE SAID PADDOCK ENJOYED VIOLENT RAPE FANTASIES, WOULD OFTEN RANT ABOUT CONSPIRACY THEORIES INCLUDING HOW 9/11 WAS ORCHESTRATED BY THE US GOVERNMENT
A Las Vegas prostitute who was hired by murderer Stephen Paddock has spoken out about their ‘violent’ sex sessions and how he bragged about having ‘bad blood’. The woman, who spoke anonymously, said she would spent hours drinking and gambling in Sin City with Paddock, who she described as ‘paranoid’ and ‘obsessive’.
SOURCE: DAILY MAIL
A Las Vegas prostitute who was hired by murderer Stephen Paddock has spoken out about their ‘violent’ sex sessions and how he bragged about having ‘bad blood’.
The woman, who spoke anonymously, said she would spent hours drinking and gambling in Sin City with Paddock, who she described as ‘paranoid’ and ‘obsessive’.
If he hit a winning streak, he would take her back to his room for ‘really aggressive and violent sex’ including living out rape fantasies, she said.
The 27-year-old, who was not named, described Paddock as ‘paranoid’, ‘obsessive’, and said he ranted about conspiracy theories including 9/11 being ‘an inside job’ (pictured, the hotel from which Paddock carried out his killings)
Police are questioning Las Vegas prostitutes as they try to ascertain a motive for the worst mass shooting in American history. A note with a number of phone numbers on it was found in Paddock’s hotel room which police are using to make inquiries
Paddock also boasted about his bank-robber father, saying that ‘the bad streak is in my blood’ and ‘I was born bad’, according to texts seen by the Sun on Sunday.
The 27-year-old woman said Paddock, 64, would often rant about conspiracy theories including how 9/11 was orchestrated by the US government.
The escort, who said Paddock paid her $6,000-a-time for their meetings, also had texts in which he described tying her up ‘while you scream for help’.

Backscatter X-ray security machines (dangerous for health and privacy, and thus a hard sell unless we think we’re all going to die without them). OSI Systems. Michael Chertoff. Sheldon Adelson. “High incident project”.
The gun nut screaming is a distraction – it had nothing to do with gun control.

Note how Paddock came out of the blue, no ‘radicalization’, no hints of plans, nothing. No way to profile or stop him with any kind of police work or counter-terrorism. Note also the reports that he had booked rooms in other hotels overlooking large groups of people. There is literally no way to keep Americans safe unless all hotels have the type of scanning that would prevent large amounts of guns from being taken into buildings. People are going to make billions off this. Naturally, the hotel industry can’t be expected to pay for this without government assistance.
Chertoff is up to his neck in so much of this stuff going back to the 90s, profiting all the way, that it is baffling that he is not on the radar with each ‘terrorist’ attack.

NEW VIDEO EMERGES CLEARLY CAPTURING APPARENT OVERLAPPING GUNFIRE AT LAS VEGAS CONCERT
A new video has emerged from the night of the Las Vegas shooting that appears to show overlapping gunfire coming from multiple locations, which clearly contradicts the mainstream narrative of what occurred on the night 59 people were killed and over 500 were injured. The video is under 3 minutes long and was filmed by an individual who appears to be hiding near a gate during the shooting. While crowds of people can be seen running from the area, the person filming the video is staying low to the ground with a group of people who are encouraging others to take cover, instead of running out into the open. “No, we are NOT moving.

Since 2016, Cops have Killed 3 Times as Many Citizens Than 4 Decades of Mass Shootings COMBINED
Original article “If we were to compare the 700 citizens killed in mass shootings to citizens killed by police in the same time frame, the comparison would be off the charts. So, for the sake of simplicity, we will compare all of the mass shooting deaths in the last 35 years, to the number of citizens killed by police this year.”

“… When all five mainstream news channels are reporting exactly the same thing, that’s usually because they’re all lying in unison. It’s all the same news because they all got the same memo that morning. In contrast, real journalists don’t achieve 100% conformity in their analyses. (Only fake news is homogenized for your mindless consumption.)….”

In a dramatic shift to the original Las Vegas shooting narrative, over a week after Stephen Paddock rained down bullets on a crowd and killed 58 people, late on Monday Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo drastically changed the timeline of the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history, and now the gunman allegedly opened fire on a security guard six minutes before he unleashed the massacre. Officials had previously claimed that Paddock, 64, shot Mandalay Bay security guard Jesus Campos only after Paddock had started shooting at the Route 91 Harvest country-music festival from his 32nd-floor hotel suite on Oct. 1.
The revision to the story also undermines the story surrounding the end of the shooting: officials had previously credited Campos, who was shot in the leg, with stopping the 10-minute assault by turning the gunman’s attention to the hotel hallway, where Campos was checking an alert for an open door in another guest’s room. However, with the revelation that Campos was shot before his mass shooting, officials now admit they don’t know why he stopped his attack. More:

Forensic Acoustic Proof of SECOND Shooter in the Las Vegas Massacre
October 9th, 2017
Main post: Las Vegas: Worst Mass Shooting in U.S. History
Via: Mike Adams/ Health Ranger:
In essence, because of the differences in the speed of sound vs. the speed of the bullets from a known cartridge (.223 Remington, in this case), the time lag between the last bullet hitting the pavement and the last audible report of the rifle muzzle can be used to very accurately calculate the range of the shooter.
More importantly, when the audio from the Las Vegas shooting is analyzed, it reveals TWO shooters operating at the same time, not just one shooter. Shooter #1 is operating at 425 – 475 yards, which is consistent with the Mandalay Bay hotel, but shooter #2 is operating at approximately 250 – 270 yards.

The Harvey Weinstein tale looks pretty rancid.
Harvey Weinstein Paid Off Sexual Harassment Accusers for Decades | 05 Oct 2017 | An investigation by The New York Times found previously undisclosed allegations against Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein stretching over nearly three decades, documented through interviews with current and former employees and film industry workers, as well as legal records, emails and internal documents from the businesses he has run, Miramax and the Weinstein Company. During that time, after being confronted with allegations including sexual harassment and unwanted physical contact, Mr. Weinstein has reached at least eight settlements with women, according to two company officials speaking on the condition of anonymity…A longtime Democratic donor, he hosted a fund-raiser for Hillary Clinton in his Manhattan home last year. He employed Malia Obama, the oldest daughter of former President Barack Obama, as an intern this year, and recently helped endow a faculty chair at Rutgers University in Gloria Steinem’s name.

A Case of Judicial Murder? The Boston Bombing, “Get a Guilty Verdict”
By John Remington Graham
Global Research, October 27, 2017
Paul Craig Roberts Institute for Political Economy 26 October 2017
Region: USA
Theme: History, Law and Justice, Media Disinformation
I have been asked many times why I have intervened in the federal prosecution of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the young man who was convicted and sentenced to death in the Boston Marathon bombing case where two brothers, on April 15, 2013, allegedly detonated pressure cooker bombs on Boylston Street in front of the Forum Restaurant that killed or maimed many people.
As I wrap up my career of fifty years as a member of the bar, including service as a public defender in state and federal courts, co-founder of an accredited law school, and chief public prosecutor in Minnesota state courts, I am apprehensive that my country might be entering into an era of judicial murder.
Judicial murder is the practice of designing a trial to get a guilty verdict, regardless of the facts, and a death sentence carried out. It has happened in many countries in all ages. It has been recognized as a threat of public justice by the United States Supreme Court in Powell v. Alabama, 287 U. S. 45 at 72-72 (1932). Judicial murder is followed by corruption and destruction of society. The judicial murder of Socrates was followed by loss of the classical civilization of ancient Greece. The judicial murder of Jesus of Nazareth, whether son of God or venerable philosopher, was followed by the destruction of Jerusalem and the second temple. The judicial murder of Joan of Arc was followed by loss of most English lands in France. The judicial murder of Charles the First was followed by loss of the free constitution of England. The judicial murder of Louis XVI was followed by 150 years of defeat, ruin, suffering, and chaos in France. Judicial murder in the Third Reich was followed by humiliating defeat of Germany. Judicial murder in the Soviet Union was followed by collapse of the Soviet empire. If the justice system cannot be trusted, evil consequences follow.
My active intervention in the case began when I assisted the Russian aunt, herself a lawyer, of Dzhokhar file pro se papers in the federal district court in Boston, asking that she be recognized as a friend of the court so she could present evidence conclusively showing, by FBI-gathered evidence, incorporated by reference into the indictment, that Dzhokhar could not have detonated the bomb he was supposed to have detonated. I proceeded in this way as instructed by the bar liaison officer of the federal district court and the clerk’s office. Dr. Paul Craig Roberts wrote up this legal adventure in his column of August 17, 2015, in a way which draws from the judicial record, and portrays the scenario clearly enough. The link is this. Those unfamiliar with this case need to read that article.
The claim of the Russian aunt sounds fantastic only so long as one believes newspapers and does not pay attention to critical, undeniable facts gathered by the FBI, and the language of the indictment as returned on June 27, 2013, especially paragraphs 6, 7, and 24. A number of things have caused me to doubt Dzhokhar’s guilt.
The FBI crime lab determined from fragments at the scene of the explosions by no later than April 16, 2013, that the culprits were carrying heavy-laden black backpacks on Boyleston Street just before the explosions. This was not an evaporating investigation theory, but was incorporated into the indictment, was part of the government’s case-in-chief, and was never disavowed by anyone involved in the trial. On April 18, 2013, the FBI determined that the culprits were portrayed in a street video maintained by the Whiskey Steak House on Boyleston Street. Two still frames were used to identify the brothers Tamerlan, who was shot dead by police, and Dzhokhar, who survived, and was charged, convicted, and sentenced to death. A third still-frame from the same street video shows Dzhokhar, carrying not a heavy-laden black backpack, but a light-weight white backpack over his right shoulder. The very evidence used by the FBI, and described in the indictment to identify Dzhokhar eliminates him as certainly as white is distinguished from black. The FBI evidence of an exploded backpack is black and the FBI’s identification of Dzhokhar at the scene of the crime shows him with a white backpack. This exculpatory evidence was kept out of the trial.
What of the confessions attributed to Dzhokhar? The law has always known that, contrary to popular belief, confessions are highly unreliable, often contrived or staged by artifice, or otherwise false, which is why the law has long used safeguards to assure that alleged confessions are received only cautiously under proper circumstances. The alleged confession by Dzhokhar written in the dark on the side of a boat under which the boy injured from gunshot woulds was hiding is highly suspect. Moreover, if Dzhokhar was willing to confess, why was he hiding? The confession at sentencing was plainly enough scripted for him, and is not corroborated by what the law calls the “corpus delicti.”
But more troubling evidence exists. Dr. Lorraine Day was the chief of orthopedic surgery at San Francisco General Hospital for some twenty-five years. She treated many grave injuries, and is an impeccable medical expert. She prepared a decisive report, dated May 4, 2015, on the Boston bombing case, which she concluded was a hoax. She observed, for example, that photos of the scene after the explosions revealed no blood when it should have been visible everywhere, and that, when blood did appear, it was of a bright orange red Hollywood color, not maroon as real blood appears in real life. The Boston marathon case appears to be at least contaminated by crisis actors if not entirely a false flag event. The video of the man showing no trauma whose leg is purported to be blown away being wheeled down the street sitting upright in a wheelchair is a dead giveaway as to the presence of crisis actors. Any such casualty mishandled in such a way would have quickly bled to death.
The trial of Dzhokhar raises more serious questions. Mr. Tsarnaev was defended by court-appointed lawyers who did not do their job. His chief counsel had powerful exculpatory evidence available, yet she forcefully asserted that he was guilty in her opening statement, never used the exculpatory evidence at trial, and did not even ask for a verdict of not guilty in her final argument to the jury. Dzhokhar had no defense. As a lawyer with a half century of experience, it was painful for me to watch what looked like a show trial in which the verdict and sentence were assured in advance.
On verge of retirement, I have no interest in acquiring notoriety to build a practice. I have nothing to gain from coming to the defense of a person abandoned by law, the media, and everyone but his aunt. But my country has everything to lose from judicial murder in behalf of some government agenda. We must examine if that is the case and, if so, prevent it.
As a last hurrah as a lawyer, I recently filed a motion in behalf of three American citizens before the First Circuit in the appeal of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, asking that they be recognized as friends of the court, so they can show that, on the basis of facts actually of record before the federal district court in Boston, Dzhokhar did not detonate a pressure-cooker bomb on Boylston Street on April 15, 2013, as charged in the indictment. The government and major media of the United States have created such confusion and libelled the accused so foully that it is impossible for the average citizen relying on newspapers to imagine that Dzhokhar is innocent. Major media waged a lock-step propaganda campaign against Mr. Tsarnaev.
However, perhaps a turning point occurred on Monday of this week. Newsweek on October 23, 2017, reported, two years and two months after Dr. Roberts’ report on my filing in behalf of Dzhokhar’s aunt, Maret Tsarnaeva, that evidence might exist of Dzhokhar’s innocence. If other of the American media would join Newsweek in informing the public that there is doubt about the conviction, perhaps not only a possible case of wrongful conviction can be corrected, but also a case of possible judicial murder could be prevented.

FBI Acknowledges Flawed Forensic Testimony Affected At Least 32 Death Penalty Cases ... The Department and the FBI are also committed to ensuring the accuracy of future hair analysis testimony, as well as the ...
(Click on image to enlarge). The Federal Bureau of Investigation has formally acknowledged that examiners from the FBI Laboratory's microscopic hair comparison unit for decades provided flawed forensic testimony purportedly matching crime scene hair evidence to the hair of defendants charged with those crimes. As part of an ongoing review of inaccurate forensic evidence, the FBI admitted that, In the 268 trials examined so far, its forensic experts systematically overstated the certainty of matches between crime scene hair evidence and defendants' hair. That flawed testimony favored prosecutors more than 95% of the time. The FBI admitted providing inaccurate expert testimony in 32 capital trials in which defendants were sentenced to death, including 10 cases from Florida and 5 each from Pennsylvania and Texas. 9 of the defendants -- including all 5 from Texas -- have since been executed. Studies have shown that inaccurate forensic evidence is frequently present in innocence cases -- and improper hair comparison testimony may already have contributed to at least one wrongful execution. Senator Richard Blumenthal, a former prosecutor, said, “These findings are appalling and chilling in their indictment of our criminal justice system, not only for potentially innocent defendants who have been wrongly imprisoned and even executed, but for prosecutors who have relied on fabricated and false evidence despite their intentions to faithfully enforce the law.”
The FBI and the Justice Department said they "are committed to ensuring that affected defendants are notified of past errors and that justice is done in every instance. The Department and the FBI are also committed to ensuring the accuracy of future hair analysis testimony, as well as the application of all disciplines of forensic science."The report likely covers only a fraction of affected cases, as many more are still under review, and FBI examiners trained hundreds of state and local crime lab analysts in the same flawed techniques.

FBI Whistleblower First Exposed Forensic Flaws
Bookmark and Share
Frederic Whitehurst Vowed to Help Wronged Defendants
Washington, D.C. April 17, 2012. Dr. Frederic Whitehurst originally exposed forensic flaws that may have led to many wrongful convictions, as reported in today's Washington Post front-page story. For years, Dr. Whitehurst has urged the Justice Department to act on systemic flaws that he witnessed while serving as the top explosives expert in the FBI Crime Lab. The NWC and FBI whistleblower Dr. Frederic Whitehurst assisted the Washington Post in its investigation into the Justice Department's failure.
In response to Dr. Whitehurst's original whistleblower disclosures, the Justice Department formed a Task Force to review thousands of cases impacted by Dr. Whitehurst's allegations and to determine if any individuals were wrongly convicted. Although the Justice Department and FBI pledged to correct their mistakes, documents obtained by the NWC through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) suggest a government attempt to suppress embarrassing mistakes at the expense of innocent defendants.
As reported by the Washington Post today, convicted defendants were left uninformed of serious flaws in the forensic evidence presented in their cases long after the Justice Department had confirmed that serious problems existed.
When he left the FBI Crime Lab in 1998, Dr. Whitehurst vowed to continue his work to find all the defendants harmed by the FBI's misconduct. It was then that he established the NWC's Forensic Justice Project.
Dr. Whitehurst stated, "Imagine that you were an individual who was innocent, and yet an FBI scientist gave testimony that caused people to believe in your guilt. There was nobody anywhere who could or would help you, except the National Whistleblowers Center, a small, underfunded group of people dedicated to finding truth. Today's story joins a long saga that has exposed this tragedy, and yet the Justice Department fails to act."
General Counsel for the NWC David K. Colapinto added, "This information never would have come to light without the perseverance of Dr. Whitehurst. After blowing the whistle on the misconduct at the FBI Crime Lab, he never stopped. After the headlines faded, he worked with the NWC for over 10 years to find out who was harmed."
Dr. Whitehurst is an NWC Board Member and the head of the NWC's Forensic Justice Project. He first blew the whistle on this misconduct at the FBI Crime Lab in the 1990s and his work has become the heart of today's Washington Post front page article.
Dr. Whitehurst and Mr. Colapinto will appear on the April 17, 2012, episode of Honesty Without Fear to discuss the efforts to correct mistakes made in the FBI Crime Lab.

Professor Sues FBI After False Arrest for Being Chinese Spy and ...

Professor Xiaoxing Xi was arrested in front of his family, strip-searched, and held at gun-point by FBI agents, all over an error stemming from allegedly illegal government surveillance, according to a lawsuit currently pending in federal court.
The interim chair of Temple University’s physics department, Xi states in his new amended complaint that his indictment, which was later dismissed by prosecutors, was based on “fabrication of evidence.” He claims that includes “false statements and representations and material omissions of facts,” in an FBI agent’s report.
According to court documents, Xi was accused of giving Chinese entities information about a device known as a “pocket heater” that belongs to U.S. company Superconductor Technologies Inc. (STI), but the information the feds found really pertained to technology that Xi himself invented. Not only that, Xi claims that information on the pocket heater’s technology was already publicly available anyway.
The lawsuit claims not only that FBI Agent Andrew Haugen knowingly or recklessly made false statements that Xi’s communications were nefarious, but that the government illegally spied on him to view his communications. Xi alleges that warrantless surveillance of Chinese universities and institutions—with which Xi communicated for academic purposes—led federal agents to come across his emails, which they then misinterpreted.
Xi, who was born in China but has lived in the U.S. since 1989, also claims that the FBI racially profiled him, in violation of his due process and equal protection rights. He also alleges that as a result of his arrest, he was placed on administrative leave, suspended from his position, and passed over for the position of permanent chair of Temple’s physics department.

WHEN TWO MEN opened fire at the “Draw Muhammad” contest in a Dallas suburb in 2015, the FBI had an undercover agent on the scene, newly filed court documents reveal.
On May 3, 2015, two men from Arizona armed with assault rifles — Elton Simpson and his roommate, Nadir Soofi — attacked a convention center in Garland, Texas, where Pamela Geller had organized the “First Annual Muhammad Art Exhibit and Contest.” The two attackers shot a guard outside the convention center and were then killed in the parking lot by Texas police.
Hours earlier, the FBI had sent a bulletin to local police with Simpson’s photo, warning that he was “interested in the event.” FBI Director James Comey said in a press conference following the shooting that the FBI did not have reason to believe Simpson was planning to attack the event, even though the bureau had spent years trying to build a case against him.
The new information came to light in an indictment filed Wednesday against Erick Jamal Hendricks, 35, of Charlotte, North Carolina, who allegedly recruited people online to join the Islamic State. An affidavit in the case reveals that an FBI undercover agent was at the “Draw Muhammad” event and was communicating with Hendricks about security there. The affidavit raises questions about whether the FBI knew, or should have known, that the event was a likely target of attack.
It’s unclear, in the affidavit, whether the communication between Hendricks and the undercover agent was via text or through another messaging system.
“If you see that pig [Geller] make your ‘voice’ heard against her,” Hendricks wrote to the undercover agent.
Hendricks then asked the agent a series of questions to gauge security at the event.
“How big is the gathering?”
“How many ppl?”
“How many/police agents?”
“Do u see feds there?”
It’s unclear from the affidavit what information the FBI agent provided in response. It’s also unclear whether any of the information the agent provided to Hendricks was, in turn, passed on to the men who attacked the drawing event.
But the affidavit states that the FBI was aware that Hendricks and Simpson were in contact to some degree. In fact, according to the document, Hendricks had made an online introduction between Simpson and the undercover agent and was the nexus between them. As a result of that introduction, Simpson and the undercover agent corresponded online. After Simpson posted a link to the “Draw Muhammad” event, the undercover agent wrote: “Tear Up Texas.”
Simpson appears to have suggested violence.
“Bro, u don’t have to say that … U know what happened in Paris … I think … Yes or no?” he wrote, referring to the January 7, 2015, attack on Charlie Hebdo.
“Right,” the agent responded.
“So that goes without saying,” Simpson responded.
After the Garland shooting, Hendricks posted a statement online in which he referenced the shooters as “a new Muslim of 2 years and another of 11 years.”
Simpson had told the undercover agent he’d been a Muslim for 11 years. The agent’s cover was that he’d been a Muslim for two years. Simpson’s actual accomplice, Nadir Soofi, was born a Muslim. In the affidavit, the FBI admits that Hendricks, not knowing about Soofi, had assumed the undercover agent was the second shooter.
The undercover agent got back in touch with Hendricks after the shooting and said he watched as police shot Simpson and Soofi.
“Keep in touch with me,” Hendricks told the agent. “If you need a safe house, let me know. This is why I’m here.”
Less than two weeks later, Hendricks cut off contact with the undercover agent. It took the FBI another 15 months to arrest Hendricks, and the affidavit does not disclose what was happening during that time period.

Faso holds FBI forum on terrorism preparedness
FBI Special Agent Vadim Thomas (podium) spoke of differences
between domestic and international terrorism
ESOPUS – Congressman John Faso (R, 19) held a public safety program Monday in Esopus, designed to help protect soft targets, including houses of worship, from terrorism.
Vadim Thomas, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Albany Division, discussed the sensitive issue, joined by members of his FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force, local law enforcement, and leaders of local faith communities.
“People are concerned about threats to houses of worship, because of incidents we’ve seen around the country,” Faso said. “The session on Monday was a good opportunity to bring the FBI together with members of the community, to better understand what they should be doing and considering. Every church should be looking at having specific discussions about security arrangements in their facility, with the State Police, or FBI, or local law enforcement.”
The goal is to establish and enhance the dialogue between communities of faith and law enforcement, so that they are not just speaking to each other when there is an emergency, that they know each other ahead of time, the lawmaker said. “Better to create these lines of communication now, when you have a period of normalcy, as opposed to trying to establish them when there’s a period of crisis,” Faso said.
Thomas spoke for nearly an hour, detailing in general terms the differences between international and domestic homegrown terrorists.

A Case of Judicial Murder? The Boston Bombing, “Get a Guilty Verdict”
By John Remington Graham
Global Research, October 27, 2017
Paul Craig Roberts Institute for Political Economy 26 October 2017
Region: USA
Theme: History, Law and Justice, Media Disinformation
I have been asked many times why I have intervened in the federal prosecution of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the young man who was convicted and sentenced to death in the Boston Marathon bombing case where two brothers, on April 15, 2013, allegedly detonated pressure cooker bombs on Boylston Street in front of the Forum Restaurant that killed or maimed many people.
As I wrap up my career of fifty years as a member of the bar, including service as a public defender in state and federal courts, co-founder of an accredited law school, and chief public prosecutor in Minnesota state courts, I am apprehensive that my country might be entering into an era of judicial murder.
Judicial murder is the practice of designing a trial to get a guilty verdict, regardless of the facts, and a death sentence carried out. It has happened in many countries in all ages. It has been recognized as a threat of public justice by the United States Supreme Court in Powell v. Alabama, 287 U. S. 45 at 72-72 (1932). Judicial murder is followed by corruption and destruction of society. The judicial murder of Socrates was followed by loss of the classical civilization of ancient Greece. The judicial murder of Jesus of Nazareth, whether son of God or venerable philosopher, was followed by the destruction of Jerusalem and the second temple. The judicial murder of Joan of Arc was followed by loss of most English lands in France. The judicial murder of Charles the First was followed by loss of the free constitution of England. The judicial murder of Louis XVI was followed by 150 years of defeat, ruin, suffering, and chaos in France. Judicial murder in the Third Reich was followed by humiliating defeat of Germany. Judicial murder in the Soviet Union was followed by collapse of the Soviet empire. If the justice system cannot be trusted, evil consequences follow.
My active intervention in the case began when I assisted the Russian aunt, herself a lawyer, of Dzhokhar file pro se papers in the federal district court in Boston, asking that she be recognized as a friend of the court so she could present evidence conclusively showing, by FBI-gathered evidence, incorporated by reference into the indictment, that Dzhokhar could not have detonated the bomb he was supposed to have detonated. I proceeded in this way as instructed by the bar liaison officer of the federal district court and the clerk’s office. Dr. Paul Craig Roberts wrote up this legal adventure in his column of August 17, 2015, in a way which draws from the judicial record, and portrays the scenario clearly enough. The link is this. Those unfamiliar with this case need to read that article.
The claim of the Russian aunt sounds fantastic only so long as one believes newspapers and does not pay attention to critical, undeniable facts gathered by the FBI, and the language of the indictment as returned on June 27, 2013, especially paragraphs 6, 7, and 24. A number of things have caused me to doubt Dzhokhar’s guilt.
The FBI crime lab determined from fragments at the scene of the explosions by no later than April 16, 2013, that the culprits were carrying heavy-laden black backpacks on Boyleston Street just before the explosions. This was not an evaporating investigation theory, but was incorporated into the indictment, was part of the government’s case-in-chief, and was never disavowed by anyone involved in the trial. On April 18, 2013, the FBI determined that the culprits were portrayed in a street video maintained by the Whiskey Steak House on Boyleston Street. Two still frames were used to identify the brothers Tamerlan, who was shot dead by police, and Dzhokhar, who survived, and was charged, convicted, and sentenced to death. A third still-frame from the same street video shows Dzhokhar, carrying not a heavy-laden black backpack, but a light-weight white backpack over his right shoulder. The very evidence used by the FBI, and described in the indictment to identify Dzhokhar eliminates him as certainly as white is distinguished from black. The FBI evidence of an exploded backpack is black and the FBI’s identification of Dzhokhar at the scene of the crime shows him with a white backpack. This exculpatory evidence was kept out of the trial.
What of the confessions attributed to Dzhokhar? The law has always known that, contrary to popular belief, confessions are highly unreliable, often contrived or staged by artifice, or otherwise false, which is why the law has long used safeguards to assure that alleged confessions are received only cautiously under proper circumstances. The alleged confession by Dzhokhar written in the dark on the side of a boat under which the boy injured from gunshot woulds was hiding is highly suspect. Moreover, if Dzhokhar was willing to confess, why was he hiding? The confession at sentencing was plainly enough scripted for him, and is not corroborated by what the law calls the “corpus delicti.”
But more troubling evidence exists. Dr. Lorraine Day was the chief of orthopedic surgery at San Francisco General Hospital for some twenty-five years. She treated many grave injuries, and is an impeccable medical expert. She prepared a decisive report, dated May 4, 2015, on the Boston bombing case, which she concluded was a hoax. She observed, for example, that photos of the scene after the explosions revealed no blood when it should have been visible everywhere, and that, when blood did appear, it was of a bright orange red Hollywood color, not maroon as real blood appears in real life. The Boston marathon case appears to be at least contaminated by crisis actors if not entirely a false flag event. The video of the man showing no trauma whose leg is purported to be blown away being wheeled down the street sitting upright in a wheelchair is a dead giveaway as to the presence of crisis actors. Any such casualty mishandled in such a way would have quickly bled to death.
The trial of Dzhokhar raises more serious questions. Mr. Tsarnaev was defended by court-appointed lawyers who did not do their job. His chief counsel had powerful exculpatory evidence available, yet she forcefully asserted that he was guilty in her opening statement, never used the exculpatory evidence at trial, and did not even ask for a verdict of not guilty in her final argument to the jury. Dzhokhar had no defense. As a lawyer with a half century of experience, it was painful for me to watch what looked like a show trial in which the verdict and sentence were assured in advance.
On verge of retirement, I have no interest in acquiring notoriety to build a practice. I have nothing to gain from coming to the defense of a person abandoned by law, the media, and everyone but his aunt. But my country has everything to lose from judicial murder in behalf of some government agenda. We must examine if that is the case and, if so, prevent it.
As a last hurrah as a lawyer, I recently filed a motion in behalf of three American citizens before the First Circuit in the appeal of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, asking that they be recognized as friends of the court, so they can show that, on the basis of facts actually of record before the federal district court in Boston, Dzhokhar did not detonate a pressure-cooker bomb on Boylston Street on April 15, 2013, as charged in the indictment. The government and major media of the United States have created such confusion and libelled the accused so foully that it is impossible for the average citizen relying on newspapers to imagine that Dzhokhar is innocent. Major media waged a lock-step propaganda campaign against Mr. Tsarnaev.
However, perhaps a turning point occurred on Monday of this week. Newsweek on October 23, 2017, reported, two years and two months after Dr. Roberts’ report on my filing in behalf of Dzhokhar’s aunt, Maret Tsarnaeva, that evidence might exist of Dzhokhar’s innocence. If other of the American media would join Newsweek in informing the public that there is doubt about the conviction, perhaps not only a possible case of wrongful conviction can be corrected, but also a case of possible judicial murder could be prevented.

FBI Acknowledges Flawed Forensic Testimony Affected At Least 32 Death Penalty Cases ... The Department and the FBI are also committed to ensuring the accuracy of future hair analysis testimony, as well as the ...
(Click on image to enlarge). The Federal Bureau of Investigation has formally acknowledged that examiners from the FBI Laboratory's microscopic hair comparison unit for decades provided flawed forensic testimony purportedly matching crime scene hair evidence to the hair of defendants charged with those crimes. As part of an ongoing review of inaccurate forensic evidence, the FBI admitted that, In the 268 trials examined so far, its forensic experts systematically overstated the certainty of matches between crime scene hair evidence and defendants' hair. That flawed testimony favored prosecutors more than 95% of the time. The FBI admitted providing inaccurate expert testimony in 32 capital trials in which defendants were sentenced to death, including 10 cases from Florida and 5 each from Pennsylvania and Texas. 9 of the defendants -- including all 5 from Texas -- have since been executed. Studies have shown that inaccurate forensic evidence is frequently present in innocence cases -- and improper hair comparison testimony may already have contributed to at least one wrongful execution. Senator Richard Blumenthal, a former prosecutor, said, “These findings are appalling and chilling in their indictment of our criminal justice system, not only for potentially innocent defendants who have been wrongly imprisoned and even executed, but for prosecutors who have relied on fabricated and false evidence despite their intentions to faithfully enforce the law.”
The FBI and the Justice Department said they "are committed to ensuring that affected defendants are notified of past errors and that justice is done in every instance. The Department and the FBI are also committed to ensuring the accuracy of future hair analysis testimony, as well as the application of all disciplines of forensic science."The report likely covers only a fraction of affected cases, as many more are still under review, and FBI examiners trained hundreds of state and local crime lab analysts in the same flawed techniques.

FBI Whistleblower First Exposed Forensic Flaws
Bookmark and Share
Frederic Whitehurst Vowed to Help Wronged Defendants
Washington, D.C. April 17, 2012. Dr. Frederic Whitehurst originally exposed forensic flaws that may have led to many wrongful convictions, as reported in today's Washington Post front-page story. For years, Dr. Whitehurst has urged the Justice Department to act on systemic flaws that he witnessed while serving as the top explosives expert in the FBI Crime Lab. The NWC and FBI whistleblower Dr. Frederic Whitehurst assisted the Washington Post in its investigation into the Justice Department's failure.
In response to Dr. Whitehurst's original whistleblower disclosures, the Justice Department formed a Task Force to review thousands of cases impacted by Dr. Whitehurst's allegations and to determine if any individuals were wrongly convicted. Although the Justice Department and FBI pledged to correct their mistakes, documents obtained by the NWC through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) suggest a government attempt to suppress embarrassing mistakes at the expense of innocent defendants.
As reported by the Washington Post today, convicted defendants were left uninformed of serious flaws in the forensic evidence presented in their cases long after the Justice Department had confirmed that serious problems existed.
When he left the FBI Crime Lab in 1998, Dr. Whitehurst vowed to continue his work to find all the defendants harmed by the FBI's misconduct. It was then that he established the NWC's Forensic Justice Project.
Dr. Whitehurst stated, "Imagine that you were an individual who was innocent, and yet an FBI scientist gave testimony that caused people to believe in your guilt. There was nobody anywhere who could or would help you, except the National Whistleblowers Center, a small, underfunded group of people dedicated to finding truth. Today's story joins a long saga that has exposed this tragedy, and yet the Justice Department fails to act."
General Counsel for the NWC David K. Colapinto added, "This information never would have come to light without the perseverance of Dr. Whitehurst. After blowing the whistle on the misconduct at the FBI Crime Lab, he never stopped. After the headlines faded, he worked with the NWC for over 10 years to find out who was harmed."
Dr. Whitehurst is an NWC Board Member and the head of the NWC's Forensic Justice Project. He first blew the whistle on this misconduct at the FBI Crime Lab in the 1990s and his work has become the heart of today's Washington Post front page article.
Dr. Whitehurst and Mr. Colapinto will appear on the April 17, 2012, episode of Honesty Without Fear to discuss the efforts to correct mistakes made in the FBI Crime Lab.

Professor Sues FBI After False Arrest for Being Chinese Spy and ...

Professor Xiaoxing Xi was arrested in front of his family, strip-searched, and held at gun-point by FBI agents, all over an error stemming from allegedly illegal government surveillance, according to a lawsuit currently pending in federal court.
The interim chair of Temple University’s physics department, Xi states in his new amended complaint that his indictment, which was later dismissed by prosecutors, was based on “fabrication of evidence.” He claims that includes “false statements and representations and material omissions of facts,” in an FBI agent’s report.
According to court documents, Xi was accused of giving Chinese entities information about a device known as a “pocket heater” that belongs to U.S. company Superconductor Technologies Inc. (STI), but the information the feds found really pertained to technology that Xi himself invented. Not only that, Xi claims that information on the pocket heater’s technology was already publicly available anyway.
The lawsuit claims not only that FBI Agent Andrew Haugen knowingly or recklessly made false statements that Xi’s communications were nefarious, but that the government illegally spied on him to view his communications. Xi alleges that warrantless surveillance of Chinese universities and institutions—with which Xi communicated for academic purposes—led federal agents to come across his emails, which they then misinterpreted.
Xi, who was born in China but has lived in the U.S. since 1989, also claims that the FBI racially profiled him, in violation of his due process and equal protection rights. He also alleges that as a result of his arrest, he was placed on administrative leave, suspended from his position, and passed over for the position of permanent chair of Temple’s physics department.

WHEN TWO MEN opened fire at the “Draw Muhammad” contest in a Dallas suburb in 2015, the FBI had an undercover agent on the scene, newly filed court documents reveal.
On May 3, 2015, two men from Arizona armed with assault rifles — Elton Simpson and his roommate, Nadir Soofi — attacked a convention center in Garland, Texas, where Pamela Geller had organized the “First Annual Muhammad Art Exhibit and Contest.” The two attackers shot a guard outside the convention center and were then killed in the parking lot by Texas police.
Hours earlier, the FBI had sent a bulletin to local police with Simpson’s photo, warning that he was “interested in the event.” FBI Director James Comey said in a press conference following the shooting that the FBI did not have reason to believe Simpson was planning to attack the event, even though the bureau had spent years trying to build a case against him.
The new information came to light in an indictment filed Wednesday against Erick Jamal Hendricks, 35, of Charlotte, North Carolina, who allegedly recruited people online to join the Islamic State. An affidavit in the case reveals that an FBI undercover agent was at the “Draw Muhammad” event and was communicating with Hendricks about security there. The affidavit raises questions about whether the FBI knew, or should have known, that the event was a likely target of attack.
It’s unclear, in the affidavit, whether the communication between Hendricks and the undercover agent was via text or through another messaging system.
“If you see that pig [Geller] make your ‘voice’ heard against her,” Hendricks wrote to the undercover agent.
Hendricks then asked the agent a series of questions to gauge security at the event.
“How big is the gathering?”
“How many ppl?”
“How many/police agents?”
“Do u see feds there?”
It’s unclear from the affidavit what information the FBI agent provided in response. It’s also unclear whether any of the information the agent provided to Hendricks was, in turn, passed on to the men who attacked the drawing event.
But the affidavit states that the FBI was aware that Hendricks and Simpson were in contact to some degree. In fact, according to the document, Hendricks had made an online introduction between Simpson and the undercover agent and was the nexus between them. As a result of that introduction, Simpson and the undercover agent corresponded online. After Simpson posted a link to the “Draw Muhammad” event, the undercover agent wrote: “Tear Up Texas.”
Simpson appears to have suggested violence.
“Bro, u don’t have to say that … U know what happened in Paris … I think … Yes or no?” he wrote, referring to the January 7, 2015, attack on Charlie Hebdo.
“Right,” the agent responded.
“So that goes without saying,” Simpson responded.
After the Garland shooting, Hendricks posted a statement online in which he referenced the shooters as “a new Muslim of 2 years and another of 11 years.”
Simpson had told the undercover agent he’d been a Muslim for 11 years. The agent’s cover was that he’d been a Muslim for two years. Simpson’s actual accomplice, Nadir Soofi, was born a Muslim. In the affidavit, the FBI admits that Hendricks, not knowing about Soofi, had assumed the undercover agent was the second shooter.
The undercover agent got back in touch with Hendricks after the shooting and said he watched as police shot Simpson and Soofi.
“Keep in touch with me,” Hendricks told the agent. “If you need a safe house, let me know. This is why I’m here.”
Less than two weeks later, Hendricks cut off contact with the undercover agent. It took the FBI another 15 months to arrest Hendricks, and the affidavit does not disclose what was happening during that time period.

Faso holds FBI forum on terrorism preparedness
FBI Special Agent Vadim Thomas (podium) spoke of differences
between domestic and international terrorism
ESOPUS – Congressman John Faso (R, 19) held a public safety program Monday in Esopus, designed to help protect soft targets, including houses of worship, from terrorism.
Vadim Thomas, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Albany Division, discussed the sensitive issue, joined by members of his FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force, local law enforcement, and leaders of local faith communities.
“People are concerned about threats to houses of worship, because of incidents we’ve seen around the country,” Faso said. “The session on Monday was a good opportunity to bring the FBI together with members of the community, to better understand what they should be doing and considering. Every church should be looking at having specific discussions about security arrangements in their facility, with the State Police, or FBI, or local law enforcement.”
The goal is to establish and enhance the dialogue between communities of faith and law enforcement, so that they are not just speaking to each other when there is an emergency, that they know each other ahead of time, the lawmaker said. “Better to create these lines of communication now, when you have a period of normalcy, as opposed to trying to establish them when there’s a period of crisis,” Faso said.
Thomas spoke for nearly an hour, detailing in general terms the differences between international and domestic homegrown terrorists.
Key points made include the availability of active shooter training, which can be provided free of charge to faith organizations by law enforcement agencies.

Mona Alexis Pressly: Las Vegas Police Scanner for Mass Casualty Drill
Mona Alexis Pressley
Conspiracy Realist
[Editor's note: Mona has verified the transcription of the scanner by Jeremy Rubin (aka The Friendly Flipper!) to make it auditorily apparent that this was a drill. I have added several images to make it visually apparent that this was a drill. How much proof do we need to demonstrate that this was a complete and total hoax--a staged event?]
I found another smoking gun video. This guy video taped the entire drill. There were so many shootings in different hotels Mandalay Bay was just one of them and they said nothing about mass killings. They didn't say anything about shooting of security guard when they found Paddock--and they sounded like they had practiced finding Paddock: "No big deal" is how cop sounded and I also had the impression that it was only one cop. This police scanner tells the story of the Police Department's BIG LIE! I downloaded this video also just in case they erase it from YouTube.

Justice department mulls changes to sex-offences legislation
06 November 2017 -
The Department of Justice is currently mulling legislative changes to ensure successful implementation of the Sexual Offences and Related Matters Amendment Act.
Deputy Minister of Justice John Jeffery said during a press briefing to report back on a two-day national forum‚ held last month‚ on the implementation of the sexual offences legislation‚ that "although there was some agreement that the current legislative framework is sufficient to provide for the effective implementation of the act"‚ two areas of implementation "need to be evaluated and possibly amended".
These include some technical details around the competency of children to testify‚ as well as the State's right to appeal on matters of fact.
Jeffery said that the competency assessment of children to testify in court revolved particularly around section 164 of the Criminal Procedure Act.
This section states that witnesses who don't understand the nature and the import of the oath can still testify without taking the oath‚ so long as they are "admonished to speak the truth" by the presiding or judicial officer.
In a 2008 High Court judgment in the case of Frederick Swartz versus the State‚ Swartz was granted leave to appeal his conviction‚ based on the fact that the presiding officer had not determined whether a seven-year-old witness had the necessary competency to understand the nature of the oath before it was administered to him.
The judgment states that "there is no universal test which can be applied by the courts in determining whether a child witness is sufficiently competent to testify".
On the issue of the State's right to appeal‚ Jeffery said potential legislative changes would focus on extending the State's right to appeal cases on matters of fact. Currently‚ appeals by the State can only be lodged on matters of law.
The current act was promulgated in 2007‚ but the impact it has had on the number of sexual offences committed each year remains unclear.
Jeffery said that while the number of sexual offences reported was showing a decline‚ this could be as a result of under-reporting.
Gender violence researcher Lisa Vetten said that in comparing data from a 2003 study conducted in Gauteng with 2012 data‚ there had been little change in the number of arrests‚ cases referred to the courts‚ or convictions.
"So in those first four of five years of active implementation‚ there hadn't been very much change at all‚ in Gauteng at any rate‚" she said.
49‚660 cases of sexual assault were reported in 2016/17. According to National Prosecuting Authority statistics‚ 72% of cases that made it to prosecution resulted in a conviction – an improvement from 2009‚ when 48% of prosecuted cases resulted in convictions.
Jeffery‚ however‚ said that when looking at the conviction rate as a percentage of cases reported to the police‚ the figure was much lower‚ at around 8-9%.

Mona Alexis Pressly: Las Vegas Police Scanner for Mass Casualty Drill
Mona Alexis Pressley
Conspiracy Realist
[Editor's note: Mona has verified the transcription of the scanner by Jeremy Rubin (aka The Friendly Flipper!) to make it auditorily apparent that this was a drill. I have added several images to make it visually apparent that this was a drill. How much proof do we need to demonstrate that this was a complete and total hoax--a staged event?]
I found another smoking gun video. This guy video taped the entire drill. There were so many shootings in different hotels Mandalay Bay was just one of them and they said nothing about mass killings. They didn't say anything about shooting of security guard when they found Paddock--and they sounded like they had practiced finding Paddock: "No big deal" is how cop sounded and I also had the impression that it was only one cop. This police scanner tells the story of the Police Department's BIG LIE! I downloaded this video also just in case they erase it from YouTube.

Justice department mulls changes to sex-offences legislation
06 November 2017 -
The Department of Justice is currently mulling legislative changes to ensure successful implementation of the Sexual Offences and Related Matters Amendment Act.
Deputy Minister of Justice John Jeffery said during a press briefing to report back on a two-day national forum‚ held last month‚ on the implementation of the sexual offences legislation‚ that "although there was some agreement that the current legislative framework is sufficient to provide for the effective implementation of the act"‚ two areas of implementation "need to be evaluated and possibly amended".
These include some technical details around the competency of children to testify‚ as well as the State's right to appeal on matters of fact.
Jeffery said that the competency assessment of children to testify in court revolved particularly around section 164 of the Criminal Procedure Act.
This section states that witnesses who don't understand the nature and the import of the oath can still testify without taking the oath‚ so long as they are "admonished to speak the truth" by the presiding or judicial officer.
In a 2008 High Court judgment in the case of Frederick Swartz versus the State‚ Swartz was granted leave to appeal his conviction‚ based on the fact that the presiding officer had not determined whether a seven-year-old witness had the necessary competency to understand the nature of the oath before it was administered to him.
The judgment states that "there is no universal test which can be applied by the courts in determining whether a child witness is sufficiently competent to testify".
On the issue of the State's right to appeal‚ Jeffery said potential legislative changes would focus on extending the State's right to appeal cases on matters of fact. Currently‚ appeals by the State can only be lodged on matters of law.
The current act was promulgated in 2007‚ but the impact it has had on the number of sexual offences committed each year remains unclear.
Jeffery said that while the number of sexual offences reported was showing a decline‚ this could be as a result of under-reporting.
Gender violence researcher Lisa Vetten said that in comparing data from a 2003 study conducted in Gauteng with 2012 data‚ there had been little change in the number of arrests‚ cases referred to the courts‚ or convictions.
