Something strange is going on in our country

Something strange is going on in our country

“…either we give in to this tyranny or we fight back”

The Aurora, Colorado “Batman” shooting is looking more and more like an orchestrated event, with many similarities to the Gabby Giffords shooting on January 8, 2011 in Tucson, AZ.

Now why would anybody want to set up a series of horrifying public massacres involving firearms with no apparent rational motivation?

Is there any connection to the “Fast and Furious” gun-running scandal involving high officials in the U.S. Justice Department ?

Is it even possible that there is a government-sponsored effort underway to provoke anti-gun sentiment in the country sufficient to gain the support of the American people to eliminate the Constitutional protections of the Second Amendment preserving the right of the people to keep and bear arms?

If this sounds like a “conspiracy theory”, it does not mean that there is no conspiracy.

Something very strange is going on in our country.

We have multiple events with official explanations that simply do not add up, including, in addition to the Rep. Gabby Giffords shooting (which resulted in the death of Federal District Court Judge John Roll* who was at the center of Arizona’s immigration controversy and had just issued a critical ruling against the Obama administration’s planned confiscation of individual retirement and banking accounts):

- the strange death of General George S. Patton;

- the JFK assassination;

- the Martin Luther King Jr. assassination;

- the Bobby Kennedy assassination;

- the shoot-down of TWA Flight 800;

- the mysterious deaths of Commerce Secretary Ron Brown, Former CIA Director William Colby, and Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Jeremy Boorda (among others);

- the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center in New York;

- the Waco, Texas tragedy;

- the bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

In every one of these cases, even a cursory effort to look into the facts and circumstances of these events will quickly turn up very disturbing unexplained facts and inconsistencies in the official stories of the respective events. The official story of every single one of these events flies in the face of extremely disturbing facts which would lead one to a much different conclusion. Just three examples should be sufficient to make the point, but disturbing information on each of these events is readily available:

1. General Patton’s death in an “automobile accident” as a passenger in a military vehicle driven by a full-time military driver is simply not believable as an accidental death. Patton was convinced of the need to address the problem of the threat posed by the Soviet Union and was extremely vocal regarding his concerns. The stridency of his public statements had become a matter of serious concern to the leftists and Soviet sympathizers who were deeply infiltrated into the U.S. government during WW II.

2. The JFK assassination could not have happened the way it was described in the Warren Report. The so-called “single-bullet theory”, which is critical to the Warren Commission’s conclusions, is simply not possible. Shortly before his death, President Kennedy had suspended issuance of currency by the Federal Reserve System and ordered the U.S. Treasury to begin issuing Silver Certificates. This posed a direct threat to the international bankers who controlled the U.S. financial system.

3. The destruction of the Murrah Federal Building could not have been caused by a fertilizer bomb in a pick-up truck located outside the building. There was serious internal damage to the structure of the building which could only have resulted from explosive materials which had been placed inside the building. There were files stored in the Murrah Federal Building which implicated the Clintons (both Bill and Hillary) in criminal activities in Arkansas prior to Clinton’s election to the presidency. One of the key figures in the Oklahoma City bombing cover-up was none other than the present U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, who was then a lower level official in the Justice Department.

I have never been a “truther” until recently. I just could not accept the possibility that my government would lie to the nation about such a profoundly painful and hostile act against our country as the 9/11 tragedy.

Last night I watched a streaming on-line video broadcast by the Denver public television station concerning the many unanswered questions associated with the 9/11 tragedy (see link below). The presentation is described as follows:

9/11: Explosive Evidence - Experts Speak Out

In this new film, over 40 experts in the fields of structural engineering, high-rise architecture, controlled demolition, physics, chemistry and metallurgy lay out the case for a controlled demolition of the World Trade Center on 9/11. The experts cite evidence showing that high-temperature incendiaries and explosives were planted throughout the twin towers and the lesser-known Building 7 which collapsed later the same day.

The film also addresses the seeming implausibility of the implications of a controlled demolition. Eight experts in psychology (including four from Colorado) discuss the difficulties many people have in confronting this possible reality and how necessary the truth is for healing – both at the individual and collective levels.

Two years in the making, 9/11: EXPERTS SPEAK OUT is the latest film from Architects & Engineers for 911 Truth, represented by founder Richard Gage, AIA.

One cannot watch this film without feeling sick about the way the American people, especially the families and friends of the 9/11 victims, have been abused by our own government in connection with the entire 9/11 episode:

http://www.cpt12.org/tv_schedule/program_details.cfm?series_id=66785954&CFID=39175318&CFTOKEN=c3a092a98cba7e20-3A0FE2F0-0109-1E27-187C6565D914E50C&jsessionid=f030919b019d0e5d03255f2f643821131464

Simply put, the architects and engineers who contributed to the film are absolutely firm and unanimous in their conclusion that the World Trade Center buildings were destroyed by internal explosions involving the use of an explosive material used in professional building demolition projects. This material is called “Thermite”. It is the only material which is capable of producing the temperatures needed to melt structural steel.

Steel liquefies at 2700 degrees F. Thermite explosions produce temperatures of 4500 degrees F. Jet fuel (kerosene) burns at 1600 degrees F. Residue of Thermite was found throughout the 9/11 debris. (Note: This writer holds a B.S. degree in metallurgical engineering.)

This fact alone (and there are many other facts which shred the official 9/11 story) renders the conclusions of the 9/11 Commission fatally flawed.

That said, there is also considerable video evidence of internal explosions in both towers unrelated to the alleged aircraft collisions with the buildings, while there is NO evidence of anything other than internal explosions of carefully planted demolition charges bringing down Building Seven of the World Trade Center.

Interestingly, Building Seven is reported to be the site of large underground vaults which were supposed to be holding vast quantities of gold belonging to certain foreign countries. Also, Building Seven was the location in which several large intelligence and law enforcement agencies resided, containing large quantities of documents relating to criminal investigations which were potentially damaging to very powerful interests in this country.

A new independent investigation of the 9/11 tragedy is urgently needed to restore the faith of the American people in their government.

Even beyond a call for a new 9/11 commission, we need to find out why we are being lied to by our own government in case after case. It appears that the official story of virtually every major tragedy on the long list of tragedies which have marked our post-WW II history has been riddled with lies, serving the purpose of covering up the truth of what really happened.

How can this be?

What has happened to our government and to the people whom we have elected to represent us that would allow these lies to be foisted on the American people?

Many people have commented recently that they long for the relative tranquility which prevailed in the 1950s when many of us were growing up. We trusted our government and we believed in the essential goodness of our fellow-citizens, as well as the essential integrity and truthfulness of those we elected to represent us.

What we must live with now is a constant state of fear and anxiety. It seems that there are more insoluble problems today than we have ever before experienced, while our government seems to be intent on alarming us with a new outrage against the Constitution, liberty, sound economic principles, and good old American common sense every day.

See the eye-opening article below about the strange death of a nurse who was one of the key medical personnel who provided emergency medical treatment to the victims of the Aurora, CO shootings.

How can we feel any trust and sense of peace when these strange events continue to occur?

We cannot continue to live like this. Something must change – either we give in to this tyranny or we fight back.

What is your choice?

Nurse Who “Saw Everything” At Hospital After Suspicious Batman Shooting Found Dead at 46

“Given the suspicious nature of the “Batman” shooting, Jenny’s (heroic) involvement in the rescue operation at the hospital, and the timing of her unnatural death, it is only logical for researchers who understand government black operations (and corresponding cover-ups) to treat it as a potential homicide, and seek further information that confirms or refutes this hypothesis.

This does not mean that it was a homicide. Accidents happen. This may have been a heartbreaking example of one. However, the publicly-available information about this death is relatively thin at this point, and it contains significant apparent contradictions and problems. Further investigation is needed by the independent media.”

Jenny Gallagher, a nurse who treated victims of the highly suspicious “Batman” shooting in Aurora, Colorado last month, is dead at age 46. The reported cause of death: drowning.

“She worked the morning after the Batman massacre in a very busy unit of the hospital — so she saw everything really, some really bad injuries,” her husband Greg reportedly told Ireland’s Herald earlier today.

The mass-shooting, which left 12 dead and 58 more injured at a midnight premiere of The Dark Knight Rises at Century theater, is widely suspected to have been a black operation (akin to Columbine or the Sikh Temple shooting) based on the available evidence, numerous inconsistencies and implausibilities in the “official story”, the timing, and the way the event has been framed (some would say exploited) by certain powerful interests in the media and political arena.

U.C.H. HEROINE MEETS OBAMA

Jennifer Ann Gallagher (“Jenny”) lived in Denver and worked at the University of Colorado Hospital (UCH), where the largest share of the victims of the shooting were taken in the aftermath of the July 20th theater massacre. On July 22nd, Barack Obama personally visited the hospital to meet with the victims and staff. In a speech, Obama praised the UCH staff for their “extraordinary efforts”. As he spoke, he was flanked by Colorado Governor Hickenlooper, Aurora Police chief Oats, and several Congressmen.

A photo taken during Obama’s visit shows Gallagher just feet from Obama. This was just over two weeks before her death.

WHEN AND WHERE: THE SCANT EARLY REPORTS OF GALLAGHER’S DEATH

Gallagher was actually found dead ten days ago, on August 7th. Despite recent conflicting and incorrect reports about the location (multiple reports say it was in Colorado, while another says Ohio), The End Run has determined that she was actually found dead in Okoboji Lake, which is in Dickson County, Iowa, about 700 miles from her home town of Denver by car.

Within 24 hours or less of the discovery of her body, a short blurb about the death, which did not identify her by name, was published by the Associated Press and picked up by several local media outlets. It read:

Drowning reported at West Okoboji Lake

OKOBOJI, Iowa (AP) — Authorities say someone has drowned at West Okoboji Lake in northwest Iowa.

The Dickinson County Sheriff’s Office said officers responded to a report of a drowning a little after noon on Tuesday.

The office hasn’t released the victim’s name or any other details about the drowning.

On the morning of August 8th, the day after her body was reportedly discovered, the Dickson County Sheriff’s office issued a press release (cache) identifying Gallagher as the victim (although they misspelled her name) and providing a few additional details:

Victim identified in West Okoboji drowning

Published on Wednesday, 08 August 2012 06:30

On Tuesday, August 7, the Dickinson County Sheriff’s Office responded to a drowning on West Lake Okoboji. An investigation found that Jennifer Gallagher, age 46, from Denver, Colorado, had been swimming the previous night in West Lake. On Tuesday morning, Gallagher was reported missing by family.

A short time later, a family member located Gallagher underneath a nearby dock. Medical personnel responded and she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Assisting the DCSO were:

· Milford Fire/Rescue

· Arnolds Park/Okoboji Dive Team

· Lakes Regional Healthcare Ambulance

The incident remains under investigation by the Dickinson County Sheriff’s Office.

The AP then published another blurb based on this press release, which was reworked and/or republished by numerous local media outlets, primarily in Iowa, where she was found dead, and in Denver, Colorado, where she lived. However, none of the short stories published in the local press at the time appear to have mentioned her connection to the then-highly-topical “Batman shooting”, or virtually any biographical information about her. The death of this national heroine does not appear to have been picked up at all by the major U.S. national media.

[Note: If this is incorrect, please send in links to the relevant stories by e-mail.]

DELAYED REVELATION

Yesterday, nine days after her body was found, an article was published by Ireland’s Herald which finally revealed some information about Gallagher and broke the story of her status as a UCH nurse and witness to the bloody aftermath of the carnage in Aurora.

This revelation has since been picked up and reported on by several other Irish sites, such as Ireland’s Independent.ie and the Irish-America IrishCentral.com, as well as the UK-based Belfast Telegraph. However, as of this writing there still do not appear to be any reports by the major U.S. national media.

Gallagher grew up in Ireland, but has reportedly lived in Denver since moving there for college in the 1990′s.

CAUSE OF DEATH: THE ALLEGED DROWNING

To review: According to the initial press release by the Dickson County Sheriff’s office, Gallagher went swimming in West Lake Okoboji on the evening on Monday, August 6th, and didn’t come back. The next morning she was reported missing by her family members. “A short time later, a family member located Gallagher underneath a nearby dock. Medical personnel responded and she was pronounced dead at the scene.”

Ireland’s Herald.ie, who, again, revealed the Gallagher/Batman shooting connection yesterday, apparently conducted an exclusive interview with Gallagher’s husband Greg Pinson today, and they have now published a second article based upon it. Mr. Pinson is a surgeon with Surgical Specialists of Colorado.

According to his curriculum vitae posted to the firm’s website, he received his undergraduate degree from Yale in 1994, his Doctorate from GWU in 1998, and did his residency at the University of Colorado School of Medicine through 2003. He is quoted by the Herald as having been married to Jenny for seven years. They have a five year old son, Jack.

Regarding the question of how Jenny died, the new Herald article says (cache):

Greg explained that the family had travelled [sic] to nearby Ohio [sic] for a holiday when Jenny tragically drowned.

He and Jack had gone to sleep when Jenny and her friend decided to take a boat out on to a lake.

“She wasn’t a very strong swimmer and I suppose she just wasn’t able to stay afloat.

“The hardest thing is I may never know what really happened to Jenny.”

Before analyzing this, let’s get a critical caveat out of the way: It is very difficult to discern the truth when dealing with second-hand media snippets like these, which are liable to contain misquotes, out of context quotes, misleading statements, and other misinformation. For example, the first Herald article incorrectly said that Gallagher drowned in “a lake close to her home”. The second article says that it was a lake in “nearby Ohio”. Besides the fact that Ohio is 1000+ miles from Denver, and thus not “nearby” at all, Gallagher was actually found in a lake in Iowa, which is also nowhere near Denver.

With that said, taken at face value, these two short accounts of Jenny Gallagher’s death (Sheriff’s Office and The Herald) seem to raise a number of questions:

1. Was she really not “a very strong swimmer”? Is her husband even correctly quoted on this matter by the Herald (who seem to have misquoted him elsewhere)? Jenny was 46 years old and a formidable athlete. She had been playing Gaelic football for over a decade, having competed in the North American finals in 2000. Recently, she and her teammates on the Denver Gaels ladies football team competed in a tournament at the Colorado Irish Festival, which they won, beating teams from San Francisco and Dallas. A tribute published in the club’s newsletter says that “memories of trips with the Gaels” such as “surfing in Costa Rica” would not “have been so fond had Jenny not been there”.

2. Why, while vacationing out of state, did Jenny decide to take a boat out onto a lake, at night, after her husband and son had already gone to bed, especially if she “wasn’t a very strong swimmer”?

3. If she did decide to do that, wouldn’t she at least wear a life vest?

4. Who is this friend that was allegedly with her? Why is this friend not identified by name? Why has this friend not been mentioned in previous reports?

5. If she did drown at night while boating with a “friend”, why were police and rescue crews not notified until the following day? The original Sheriff’s office press release said that she was “reported missing by family” the following “morning”. The initial AP report put the time even later – “a little after noon” — and The Spencer Daily Reporter wrote on Aug 9th that, “Emergency crews received a 911 distress call at 12:45 p.m.” If a “friend” was out on the lake boating with Jenny and she disappeared in the water, wouldn’t this friend immediately rush to notify her husband and/or any other family member that may have been present, and wouldn’t they immediately alert rescue crews (assuming the friend hadn’t already)? Why did this apparently not happen?

6. If Jenny was out boating with a friend, disappeared in the water, and was later found drowned, why would her husband say, “The hardest thing is I may never know what really happened to Jenny”?

7. Who was the family member that located Jenny’s body under the dock? He or she apparently did so shortly after notifying authorities that she was “missing”, possibly even within minutes. The unnamed family member was apparently able to find her before professionally trained rescue crews. In fact, according to the Spencer Daily Reporter, this family member may have even “located” her before the crews could even begin searching: “Arnolds Park/Okoboji Fire Chief Christ Yungbluth said his department’s dive team did not have to conduct a search. … Rescue teams were on hand for nearly an hour but once they arrived at the scene, Gallagher was pronounced dead.” West Okoboji Lake is approximately 3,847 acres in surface area. The Daily Reporter said that she was specifically found “in the area near Wheeler’s Beach just off of 1st Street in the city of West Okoboji.”

THE SHERIFF’S OFFICE IS MUM; APPARENTLY GALLAGHER’S DEATH IS STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION

In an attempt to obtain answers to these questions and clarification about the facts surrounding Jenny Gallagher’s death, The End Run contacted the Dickson County Sheriff’s Office by phone this evening (Friday).

The woman who answered the phone was familiar with the case, but refused to answer any questions about Jennifer Gallagher’s death. This included a direct question as to whether or not Gallagher was boating with another individual that night as reported by the Herald. The woman referenced the August 8th press release posted to the Sheriff’s website, firmly stating that she could not provide any information besides what was contained in that report.

When asked if she could at least confirm whether or not the incident was (still) under investigation, she again referred me to the press release from nine days ago, which says, “The incident remains under investigation by the Dickinson County Sheriff’s Office”.

CONCLUSION

Given the suspicious nature of the “Batman” shooting, Jenny’s (heroic) involvement in the rescue operation at the hospital, and the timing of her unnatural death, it is only logical for researchers who understand government black operations (and corresponding cover-ups) to treat it as a potential homicide, and seek further information that confirms or refutes this hypothesis.

This does not mean that it was a homicide. Accidents happen. This may have been a heartbreaking example of one. However, the publicly-available information about this death is relatively thin at this point, and it contains significant apparent contradictions and problems. Further investigation is needed by the independent media.

According to accounts written by those who knew her, Jenny Gallagher was an amazing woman; a loving mother and wife, an excellent nurse, and a person whose personality and kindness brought joy into the lives of those around her. Regardless of the cause, her untimely death is a tragedy, and my condolences go out to the many friends and family who knew and loved her. Hopefully others who investigate her death feel the same, and hopefully her family can understand our desire to seek further information about what happened to her.

Cows eating candy during the drought

Updated: Thursday, 16 Aug 2012, 7:53 AM EDT
Published : Thursday, 16 Aug 2012, 7:53 AM EDT

MAYFIELD, Ky. (CNN/WPSD) - Ranchers have struggled with skyrocketing corn prices, because the drought has made feeding their livestock very expensive. But one rancher has turned to a very sweet solution.

At Mayfield's United Livestock Commodities, owner Joseph Watson is tweaking the recipe for success.

"Just to be able to survive, we have to look for other sources of nutrition," he said.

His 1,400 cattle are no longer feeding off corn. The prices, Watson says, are too high to keep corn in stock. So earlier this year, he began to buy second-hand candy.

"It has a higher ratio of fat than actually feeding straight corn," Watson explained. "It's hard to believe it will work but we've already seen the results of it now."

Watson mixes the candy with an ethanol by-product and a mineral nutrient. He says the cows have not shown any health problems from eating the candy, and they are gaining weight as they should.

"This ration is balanced to have not too much fat in it," he said.

The packaged candy comes from various companies at a discounted rate because it is not fit for store shelves.

"Salvage is a problem for a lot of these companies and they're proud to have a place to go with it," said Watson.
