Roswell UFO Crash: There Were 2 Crashes, Not 1, Says Ex-Air Force Official. The 1947 UFO controversy of Roswell, N.M. is like a bad penny: It keeps turning up. The legend, rehashed by conspiracy theorists in countless documentaries, revolves around allegations that an unusual object fell from the sky -- an object so bizarre that the U.S. Air Force issued a press release that a flying saucer had crashed. That story was quickly recanted, creating what would become one of the greatest urban legends in American history.
Until now, most debunkers doubted that there was even one crash. Now, in an exclusive interview, retired Air Force Lt. Col. Richard French told The Huffington Post that there were actually two crashes. This revelation is especially remarkable considering that French was known in the past to debunk UFO stories. "There were actually two crashes at Roswell, which most people don't know," French told HuffPost. "When they hit it with that electromagnetic pulse -- bingo! Another retired officer doubts French's story. "No chance! Watch this video of Ret. Skinwalkers. Navajo witches are said to be able to shapeshift into animals. Is it just a tall tale, or is there some truth to it? By Brian Dunning, Skeptoid Podcast Episode 321, July 31, 2012 From the plains of the American West comes a story with a history as long as that of the Native Americans themselves: the skinwalkers.
Witches, a class of outcast criminals who practiced black magic, were said to have the ability to shapeshift into any animal they chose. Some version of the American skinwalker is found in most Native American cultures, but it's the Navajo that is most prevalent. Most stories of the Navajo skinwalker today carry a modern touch, such as the various ways skinwalkers could and could not be killed with bullets. Two New Mexico Highway Patrol officers experienced nearly identical terrifying encounters, as they discovered when comparing notes later. Perhaps the best known facet of the skinwalker lore is the so-called Skinwalker Ranch in Utah. A Los Alamos Story Worthy of Stephen King. Gary Webb on C.I.A. Trafficking of Cocaine. Mexican official: CIA 'manages' drug trade - Features. Juarez, Mexico - The US Central Intelligence Agency and other international security forces "don't fight drug traffickers", a spokesman for the Chihuahua state government in northern Mexico has told Al Jazeera, instead "they try to manage the drug trade".
Allegations about official complicity in the drug business are nothing new when they come from activists, professors, campaigners or even former officials. However, an official spokesman for the authorities in one of Mexico's most violent states - one which directly borders Texas - going on the record with such accusations is unique. "It's like pest control companies, they only control," Guillermo Terrazas Villanueva, the Chihuahua spokesman, told Al Jazeera last month at his office in Juarez. "If you finish off the pests, you are out of a job. A spokesman for the CIA in Washington wouldn't comment on the accusations directly, instead he referred Al Jazeera to an official website. Accusations are 'baloney' Drug war 'illusions' Chinese Ape-Men: In Science and Myth.
Investigative Files Joe Nickell Volume 21.4, Winter 2011-2012 Figure 1. Southwest of Beijing, in the mountains around Zhoukoudian, the fossil primate Peking Man once flourished. The term ape-man is used in two major ways: scientifically, it designates any extinct primate having structural characteristics that are intermediate between man and ape (Webster’s 1980); popularly, the term also describes any of the various legendary hairy creatures that are characterized as “human-like apes or apelike humans”—the North American Sasquatch/Bigfoot, for example (Clark and Pear 1997, 207, 467). As CFI’s visiting scholar in China during October 2010 (in an exchange program with the China Research Institute for Science Popularization [CRISP]), I encountered—so to speak—an example of each of these two types of ape man, which some believe are related. Extinct Primates Figure 2. The fate of Peking Man has been the subject of much speculation. (For more on Peking Man, see Feder 1996, 129, 149–150.)

Then it hit me, and probably far too late: the correct play here is to ignore you and your arguments entirely. After all, the thing that was always the most unrealistic aspect of 9/11 Truther theory was this notion that anyone in power in this country would need to pull off a stunt like this in order to further its nebulous imperialist agenda. All of this 9/11 Truther stuff, it's a silly distraction. 1.

A poll of 17 countries that came out September of this year revealed that majorities in only nine of them "believe that al Qaeda was behind the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the United States. " A Zogby poll from 2006 found that in America, 42% of respondents believed the US government and 9/11 Commission "covered up" the events of 9/11. It's safe to say that at least tens of millions of Americans don't believe anything close to the official account offered by the 9/11 Commission, and that much of the outside world remains skeptical. Over the years, AlterNet has run dozens of stories, mostly critical, of the 9/11 Truth Movement. 1.

In Defense Of Conspiracy Theories. [disinfo ed.'s note: this original essay was first published by disinformation on November 29, 2001.] An Introduction to the World of Conspiracy Theories for the Mainstream American While I was writing Paranoia, many of my friends wondered why I was interested in conspiracy theories. They are fringe territory in American culture. Strangely, while “conspiracy theories” are for “crazy people,” many of my friends also believe that various conspiracy theories are true.
While I’m not a conspiracy theorist, I have always been fascinated by them–introduced to alternative histories by a friend living in Santa Fe; Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea’s Illuminatus trilogy; and Umberto Eco’s Foucault’s Pendulum. Both conspiracies and conspiracy theories have always existed in history. President Woodrow Wilson wrote in 1913: Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something.
The result is noise. 1. 1. 1. 2. 3. 4. The Montauk Project. [disinfo ed.'s note: this original essay was first published by disinformation on January 22, 2001.] You’ve got to love a story that is stranger than any fiction but claims to be the God’s honest truth. What could be more fabulously outrageous than the idea that your tax dollars have subsidized the demented experiments of an evil cabal of Navy brass, CIA shrinks, fugitive Nazis and Reptoid ETs?
What could be more fantastic than the vision of them pow wowing together for a little high-tech, tantric voodoo? Now, THAT’S entertainment. Pondering the veracity of these claims precipitates a lively debate in one’s head about the all-too-real implications of Quantum Mechanics, the Many Worlds Interpretation and Observer Created Reality. The Many Worlds Interpretation is an application of the subatomic theorems of Quantum Mechanics to the larger, more familiar scale of matter that we call “reality”. You had to be there! Links [some may have expired] 7/7 Conspiracy Theories and Connecting the Dots. We are on the eve of the 7th anniversary of the 7/7 terrorist attacks in which 56 people, including the alleged culprits, were killed. In that time, numerous theories have been put forward as to what really happened and who was truly responsible. The official theory, that four young British Muslim men radicalised each other into a fanatic religious rage that they chose to express through the medium of suicide bombing, is perhaps the best known.
It is, naturally, a conspiracy theory, though because it is officially sanctioned it does not tend to get given its true name. It claims that the four men conspired, with malice aforethought, to murder over 50 people. Refuting the official conspiracy theory has been a painstaking process for those sections of the independent research community, but is has been a thoroughly successful one. 7/7 is, at its simplest, a horrible crime. In investigating that crime we can look at it in relatively conventional terms of means, motive and opportunity. 'UFO' at the bottom of the Baltic Sea 'cuts off electrical equipment when divers get within 200m' Object is raised about 10 to 13ft above seabed and curved at the sides like a mushroomHole is surrounded by an strange rock formation that expedition team can not explainStones are covered in something 'resembling soot' which has baffled expertsDivers say phones and some cameras switch off when close to the object By Eddie Wrenn Updated: 06:26 GMT, 27 June 2012 The divers exploring a 'UFO-shaped' object at the bottom of the Baltic Sea say their equipment stops working when they approach within 200m.
Professional diver Stefan Hogerborn, part of the Ocean X team which is exploring the anomaly, said some of the team's cameras and the team's satellite phone would refuse to work when directly above the object, and would only work once they had sailed away. He is quoted as saying: 'Anything electric out there - and the satellite phone as well - stopped working when we were above the object. 'Well honestly it has to be something.' The quotes were first reported at NDTV. Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood Call For New 9/11 Investigation. Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood Call For New 9/11 Investigation June 24, 2012 5:58 Egypt’s new president, Mohamed Morsi has long called for the U.S. to hold a “scientific conference” to determine the real culprits of the Sept. 11 attacks, having cast doubt on al Qaeda’s role in 9/11 for years.
“The U.S. administration has never presented any evidences on the identity of those who committed that incident,” longtime Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohamed Morsi is quoted as saying in a 2007 posting on Ikhwanweb, the Islamist group’s official English website. “The Muslim Brotherhood and others demanded a transparent trial with clear evidence and to have court rulings,” he said after the sixth anniversary of the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people.
“We confirm that this isn’t a defense to those who committed these actions, but we only seek the truth.” Oh, the places you go (when you follow the money) Let's pick a story. Say, data recovery from the World Trade Center. Remember? While the ruins still smoldered, some genuine questions were still being asked by the mainstream media, which were blessedly unaware of how awkward the answers might prove. For instance, this story, from December 17, 2001: German computer experts are working round the clock to unlock the truth behind an unexplained surge in financial transactions made just before two hijacked planes crashed into New York's World Trade Center on September 11. Were criminals responsible for the sharp rise in credit card transactions that moved through some computer systems at the WTC shortly before the planes hit the twin towers?
Or was it coincidence that unusually large sums of money, perhaps more than $100 million, were rushed through the computers as the disaster unfolded? And this, from CNN, a few days later: That's where Convar Systeme Deutschland GmbH comes in. Further: We need to step back, and ask, what happened to Convar? I Am A Disinformation Agent.

Beyond the horizon across the divide'round about midnight, we'll be on the same side - Bob Dylan The Secret Faith A hundred or so years ago, poet and Golden Dawn adept William Butler Yeats wrote an encouraging letter to author W.Y. Evans-Wentz, who was then researching his landmark Fairy-Faith in Celtic Countries. (An e-copy of the book may be found here.) "I am certain that it [the "Celtic fairy kingdom"] exists," said Yeats, "and will some day be studied as it was studied by Kirk. " "The men of that Second Sight do not discover strange Things when asked," Kirk writes, "but at Fits and Raptures, as if inspyred with some Genius at that Instant. " Thus I have frequently spoke to one of them, who in his Transport told he cut the Bodie of one of those People in two with his Iron Weapon...yet saw nothing left behind of that appearing divyded.
Invisibility, teleportation, slayings and subterranean entities: these are universal Shamanistic tropes, shared also by modern UFOlogical mythos. 'Men In Black' Inspired By Scary Stories Of People Who've Seen UFOs. When "Men in Black 3" opens everywhere over Memorial Day weekend, most moviegoers will just be hoping this sequel matches the original for popcorn-munching fun. But there are many people who say they've been victimized by and live in fear of real MIBs. And those stories, told for decades, are just as terrifying as they are detailed. Ever since the early 1950s, long before the first "Men in Black" movie hit the silver screen in 1997, men dressed in identical black suits, hats and sunglasses, claiming to be government agents, have reportedly shown up in black cars at the homes or offices of people who reported UFO sightings. According to those who were paid these unwelcome visits, the MIBs threatened or harassed the eyewitnesses into staying quiet about their UFO encounters.
Watch some reported Men in Black encounters: 1947: Harold Dahl reported seeing a group of UFOs while he was on a boat in Washington's Puget Sound. But why?
