.For many years, but especially since the advent of the Internet, responsible truth-seekers
and independent news sources like AMERICAN FREE PRESS have been bedeviled — besieged — by outrageous disinformation confusing honest efforts to bring forth important facts about history and the issues and events of the day. We find an extraordinary array of irresponsible sources spinning some outlandish claims — conspiracy theories, if you will — that confuse matters further. And this is not to suggest conspiracies don’t exist at the highest and lowest levels.
In fact, over the years, critics have slammed AMERICAN FREE PRESS for allegedly promoting “conspiracy theories” when all we have done is report the facts, however uncomfortable they may be for some very real conspirators.
Unfortunately, many of the foolish conspiracy theories circulating today arise because those who are looking for conspiracies have a tendency to base their conclusions on what is just downright sloppy and inaccurate reporting by the “mainstream” media in the first place.
The big media has never been a good source for anything of critical substance, but still, in this day of 24-seven “news” coverage — making current events a variation of “reality” television — bad reporting and otherwise honest mistakes by establishment news sources, often made in the heat of the moment, are suddenly the subject of frenzied
speculation. They are then turned into something they are not: the foundation for conspiracy theories purporting to explain “what really happened” regarding some event gripping the public mind.
Right now there are widely circulated claims that no children were killed at Sandy Hook, that it’s all a hoax. Others say that local police and firemen were in on the shooting, working to ensure as many kids as possible were gunned down. Others insist it was a CIA “mind control” operation. They claim the alleged shooter was brainwashed into being the “patsy” and that other gunmen carried out the murders — the same ones other conspiracy theorists say didn’t even happen at all.
And yes, the CIA does engage in mind control. This writer’s book, The Judas Goats,* has a whole chapter on the topic. So don’t say I’m denying the existence of mind control.
One conspiracy-monger claimed Israel’s Mossad orchestrated Sandy Hook in order to hurt Barack Obama. Yes, he said that.
Others — who don’t like Obama — said that, yes, the Mossad did it, but left out the part that the shooting was designed to hurt the president.
So, depending on what you think of Obama, you have two different versions of that theory. But there’s no proof of Mossad involvement in this case.
And before accusing me of “covering up for the Mossad,” bear in mind I have publicly charged the Mossad with being behind the JFK assassination, the Oklahoma City bombing and the 9-11 attacks.
Time and time again it’s been discovered that many mass shooters have been on mind-bending psychiatric drugs. Frankly, if I were the head of one of the companies that produce such drugs, I would keep a “crisis team” ready for action every time there’s a shooting. My Internet trolls would be out there cranking out stories saying “the CIA” brainwashed the shooters, thereby misdirecting attention from what could be the real underlying cause. There’s a conspiracy theory to chew on.
AFP tries to stick to what we believe to be the facts and we won’t publish any story because “it sounds good” or because somebody thinks “there might be something to it.”
