Disturbing Red Flags Indicate LAX Shooting A False Flag

*drip...drip...drip...*


That is the sound of your Bill of Rights (what’s left of it) sliding down the drain of One World Order tyrannical fascism with each new shooting conspicuously timed to show up regularly.


Yes, people do commit crimes of passion.


Yes, your own government plotting to act out crimes or even commit them against innocent citizens for political gain is an exotic and sensational accusation.


Sadly, with the people in power from the local level all the way up to Washington, Demonically Controlled, it has become the norm.


There are disturbing indicators that the shooting at LAX was contrived as another wedge to be used to part you from the firearms you would use to defend yourself during martial law and civil war.


When the story first broke, the Daily Caller reported that they had intercepted a memo which stated the shooter was an off-duty TSA agent.


This was later changed to one Paul Ciancia, a supposed anti-government crusader from the freedom-spawning haven of New Jersey.  ABC News reported that a note at the scene of the crime gave us this revelation.


As law enforcement officials work to uncover Ciancia’s motivations, a note found at the scene that indicated Ciancia’s anti-government sentiments and suggested that he expected to die in the airport shootout.


The note found at the scene ended with the letters “NWO,” according to law enforcement sources, which is believed to stand for “New World Order.”  The note also specifically mentioned anger and frustration targeted toward the TSA.


As I chronicled for you in May after the Boston Bombing, the original intent was to blame a Red Neck Patriot but that fell through.


From the looks of this guy, we clearly have another Jared Lee Loughner, James Holmes or Adam Lanza.


do you see a pattern


I’ll bet you can’t guess what the weapon was that did the killing.


Did you say an “AR15”?  How did you know?!


No 1 on the Hit List


Yep, somehow this crazed Tea Partier, paranoid that the New World Order was coming for him, found a deadly “assault rifle” somewhere in his gun-free paradise of New Jersey, took it to another gun-free paradise—California—and somehow managed to get it inside the tight airport security (where no guns are allowed).


I mean, seriously.  Did Barack Obama write this or NBC News?  I guess it’s the same thing:


A gunman was armed with “hundreds of rounds” of ammunition when he opened fire at Los Angeles International Airport Friday, killing a security worker and spraying a terminal with bullets as travelers sought cover, authorities said.


“There were more than 100 more rounds that could’ve literally killed everybody in that terminal today,” Mayor Garcetti said at an afternoon news conference, lauding law enforcement’s response that he said saved many lives. ...


The “lone gunman” entered the screening area in Terminal 3 and pulled a rifle out of his bag, opening fire before he was taken into custody after an officer-involved shooting, said Patrick Gannon, the chief of police at LAX. ...


“He walked to Terminal 3, pulled an assault rifle out of a bag and opened fire in the terminal,” Gannon said.  “He went into the screening area, past screeners and continued shooting into the airport itself.”


FBI officials said the agency will “investigate the shooting and the motivation behind it.”  A bag used by the gunman to carry his weapon into the terminal was found to contain notes with anti-government sentiments written on them, law enforcement told NBC4. ...


The deadly shooting raised questions about security at the nation’s third-busiest airport.


Airport police thought they had improved checkpoint security by moving officers into the lobby ahead of the screening areas, but a troubled 23-year-old allegedly found a weakness, opening fire inside the terminal.


Yeah.  You thought you and your beloved family were getting raped before.  Just wait until the new and improved security measures show up.


Airport proctology exam anyone?


And if you think it’s going to go easy on you, just check out the AP picture of these two TSA agents consoling each other after the shooting.  (special thanks to the Huffington Post for displaying that for their target audience)


APTOPIX LAX Shooting 


“Gee, your wife’s awful perddy...”


There is some fascinating video coming out on this.


What’s the first thing you do before getting ready for the big game?  Why practice, of course.  Running a drill similar to the event is a tell-tale sign that it has been staged.  Often drills are used during the event to confuse first responders who aren’t in-the-know so that the government-trained killers can make their escape.


Pay special attention starting at 13 minutes to the “Man in Black” looking dude behind “LAX Police Chief” (the frigging airport has its own Police Chief?!) Patrick Gannon.  Watch how he has to take a second to wipe his eyes as if saying, “Dude.  Shut your ____ mouth already.”



Did you also notice at 12 minutes in how the reports of “multiple shooters” and someone seen in handcuffs was addressed?


But perhaps the best so far is this from CBS News.  Jump to 12 minutes in and tell me if that doesn’t look like a crash test dummy.



dummy actor


On closer examination I could go either way but that is not the tactical procedure for evacuating a casualty.


Looks real good for the cameras, though—especially when they cut off before you can see what happens to the subject and/or get a closer look.


One thing is for sure... we’re all expendable dummies now.


UPDATE: Saturday, 02 November 2013; 08:54 PM, EST


Some of my brethren on Before It’s News are remarking that there are some abnormalities with the names involved.  A witness questioned by the FBI is one “Joshua Pagan” and a breakdown of the subject’s last name can spell out “CIA‘n’CIA”.


I never make light of the possible satanic motivations, machinations and perverse humors of the Luciferians running this country so I thought I’d share it with you.


UPDATE: Saturday, 02 November 2013; 09:54 PM, EST


Another indicator has come to my attention.


In January of this year, the Washington Times ran this report:


Homeland Security Training TSA Workers To Save Themselves In Shooting


Transportation Security Administration (TSA) checkpoint screeners are receiving training to prepare them for the possibility of a mass shooting at one of the agency’s airport checkpoints, and those TSA personnel are being instructed to “save themselves” should a shooting occur. ...


The TSA screener, who claims to have recently undergone agency training during which TSA personnel were confronted with a chilling checkpoint shooting scenario, now tries to remain aware of how to get out alive were such a shooting to unfold.


“Every day when I arrive for work, I look for an escape route in case someone opens fire,” said the TSA worker.  “We have been told to save ourselves.”


Does the TSA already have intelligence about a possible future checkpoint shooting?


This can be likened to the visit Attorney General Eric Holder had with Connecticut governor Dan Malloy to discuss “gun control”...just two weeks before Sandy Hook.


—Or the Homeland Security emergency response drill that took place in 2010 in sleepy little Sandy Hook, itself.


“Drills” = “the real thing, real soon”.


UPDATE: Saturday, 02 November 2013; 10:36 PM, EST


Talk show host, author and pastor Carl Gallups announced on his radio program that he has an insider source which confirmed that the shooting at LAX was a “false flag” whose purpose was to attack the 2nd Amendment.



UPDATE: Saturday, 02 November 2013; 11:06 PM, EST


When I first saw this pic unattached to the original story I thought for sure it was somebody being stupid, maybe even intentional disinformation.


And then I found the original NY Post link and realized, it’s us whom they think are stupid.


This is supposedly Paul Ciancia after being shot by police.  It’s highly questionable if the subject is even a real person, judging by the contorted position, anorexic build and blank stare of a perpetrator who was supposedly taken into custody.


What is on the floor next to the subject is anybody’s guess.


One thing it isn’t, is human blood.

UPDATE: Saturday, 02 November 2013; 11:40 PM, EST


This is interesting.  The supposed victim of the supposed shooter is related to the land of Make Believe.


TSA Officer Slain in LAX Shooting Was Husband of Warner Bros. Marketing Budget Manager, The Wrap


This, too, can be connected to the queer goings on in Connecticut where the prop master for Dark Knight Rises and other big budget movies, Scott Getzinger, died in a car accident.


His wife, at a town hall meeting, later defended firearms and attacked town corruption.



The Dark Knight Rises, you may recall, was the film playing at the theater in Aurora, Colorado during the mass shooting supposedly enacted by James Holmes.


One of the props from Dark Knight Rises were maps of Gotham City were a southern peninsula noted from previous maps was renamed “Sandy Hook”.


 



Who's The Dummy Here: Videos Analyzing LAX Shooting Claim TSA Shooting Victim Is A Mannequin



| WTF News |


The false flag evidence is beginning to pile up after the news yesterday that the LAX shooting suspect supposedly was carrying a note saying that he was against the New World Order. Today, multiple videos are showing up on Youtube analyzing helicopter footage of what is said to be an injured Transportation Security Administration worker being transported to waiting ambulances in a wheelchair. The videos have suggested that the video footage is not actually of a real person, but a mannequin. The main reasons for the suggesting the "agent" is a mannequin are the seemingly unnatural body mechanics shown as he is being quickly wheeled to the ambulance, as well as the appearance of being really pale and motionless, of course that could be because a real person in the position may experience those effects from shock or blood loss. The footage is below to make your own decision.
Watch the first 8 seconds of this video for the authentic footage
The videos below show the extended version of the "TSA agent's" rescue


Wow!!! Large Military Actions Movements Across America 2013!

Todd Olewinski, YouTube Channel posted a collection of joint military and police training in different states of the country. All these trainings occurred this year 2013. “Wow!! I never see so much movement in one year in America before in my whole life. You can definitely say we going to war in America. They are planning something before our eyes as you can see in this video war looks very eminent domain of our government!”

RECAP: 25 Rules of Disinformation! Beforeitsnews Under Attack?

It is a safe summation to think ALL SOCIAL MEDIA is under attack by paid shills hired to plant disinformation and distract from the truth.


B4INREMOTE-aHR0cDovLzIuYnAuYmxvZ3Nwb3QuY29tLy1UZFpEVU9fUWY1MC9VV2dkcmlYdDRaSS9BQUFBQUFBQUswRS9wODB3YzJsbjBWWS9zMTYwMC9UcnV0aCthbmQrTGllcytVbmRlcitHbGFzcy5wbmc=


There is plenty of evidence to support such claims by what THEY have said themselves.


“We are in an information war and we are losing that war. Al Jazeera is winning, the Chinese have opened a global multi-language television network, the Russians have opened up an English-language network. I’ve seen it in a few countries, and it is quite instructive,”

-Read?- Hillary Clinton


These 25 Rules below IS their Bible! Everyone needs to learn them so they can spot and call-out these shills when they (Their Postings) are attacked by them..


An earlier post by.. RidgeRunner "How to Spot an Obot Troll"

http://beforeitsnews.com/obama/2013/06/before-its-new-under-attack-how-to-spot-an-obot-2452544.html


 KNOW THY ENEMY!




From Twenty-Five Ways To Suppress Truth: The Rules of Disinformation (Includes The 8 Traits of A Disinformationalist) by H. Michael Sweeney. These 25 rules are everywhere in media, from political debates, to television shows, to comments on a blog.


1. Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil. Regardless of what you know, don’t discuss it — especially if you are a public figure, news anchor, etc. If it’s not reported, it didn’t happen, and you never have to deal with the issues.


2. Become incredulous and indignant. Avoid discussing key issues and instead focus on side issues which can be used show the topic as being critical of some otherwise sacrosanct group or theme. This is also known as the “How dare you!” gambit.


3. Create rumor mongers. Avoid discussing issues by describing all charges, regardless of venue or evidence, as mere rumors and wild accusations. Other derogatory terms mutually exclusive of truth may work as well. This method works especially well with a silent press, because the only way the public can learn of the facts are through such “arguable rumors”. If you can associate the material with the Internet, use this fact to certify it a “wild rumor” which can have no basis in fact.


4. Use a straw man. Find or create a seeming element of your opponent’s argument which you can easily knock down to make yourself look good and the opponent to look bad. Either make up an issue you may safely imply exists based on your interpretation of the opponent/opponent arguments/situation, or select the weakest aspect of the weakest charges. Amplify their significance and destroy them in a way which appears to debunk all the charges, real and fabricated alike, while actually avoiding discussion of the real issues.


5. Sidetrack opponents with name calling and ridicule. This is also known as the primary attack the messenger ploy, though other methods qualify as variants of that approach. Associate opponents with unpopular titles such as “kooks”, “right-wing”, “liberal”, “left-wing”, “terrorists”, “conspiracy buffs”, “radicals”, “militia”, “racists”, “religious fanatics”, “sexual deviates”, and so forth. This makes others shrink from support out of fear of gaining the same label, and you avoid dealing with issues.


6. Hit and Run. In any public forum, make a brief attack of your opponent or the opponent position and then scamper off before an answer can be fielded, or simply ignore any answer. This works extremely well in Internet and letters-to-the-editor environments where a steady stream of new identities can be called upon without having to explain criticism reasoning — simply make an accusation or other attack, never discussing issues, and never answering any subsequent response, for that would dignify the opponent’s viewpoint.


7. Question motives. Twist or amplify any fact which could so taken to imply that the opponent operates out of a hidden personal agenda or other bias. This avoids discussing issues and forces the accuser on the defensive.


8. Invoke authority. Claim for yourself or associate yourself with authority and present your argument with enough “jargon” and “minutiae” to illustrate you are “one who knows”, and simply say it isn’t so without discussing issues or demonstrating concretely why or citing sources.


9. Play Dumb. No matter what evidence or logical argument is offered, avoid discussing issues with denial they have any credibility, make any sense, provide any proof, contain or make a point, have logic, or support a conclusion. Mix well for maximum effect.


10. Associate opponent charges with old news. A derivative of the straw man usually, in any large-scale matter of high visibility, someone will make charges early on which can be or were already easily dealt with. Where it can be foreseen, have your own side raise a straw man issue and have it dealt with early on as part of the initial contingency plans. Subsequent charges, regardless of validity or new ground uncovered, can usually them be associated with the original charge and dismissed as simply being a rehash without need to address current issues — so much the better where the opponent is or was involved with the original source.


11. Establish and rely upon fall-back positions. Using a minor matter or element of the facts, take the “high road” and “confess” with candor that some innocent mistake, in hindsight, was made — but that opponents have seized on the opportunity to blow it all out of proportion and imply greater criminalities which, “just isn’t so.” Others can reinforce this on your behalf, later. Done properly, this can garner sympathy and respect for “coming clean” and “owning up” to your mistakes without addressing more serious issues.


12. Enigmas have no solution. Drawing upon the overall umbrella of events surrounding the crime and the multitude of players and events, paint the entire affair as too complex to solve. This causes those otherwise following the matter to begin to loose interest more quickly without having to address the actual issues.


13. Alice in Wonderland Logic. Avoid discussion of the issues by reasoning backwards with an apparent deductive logic in a way that forbears any actual material fact.


14. Demand complete solutions. Avoid the issues by requiring opponents to solve the crime at hand completely, a ploy which works best for items qualifying for rule 10.


15. Fit the facts to alternate conclusions. This requires creative thinking unless the crime was planned with contingency conclusions in place.


16. Vanishing evidence and witnesses. If it does not exist, it is not fact, and you won’t have to address the issue.


17. Change the subject. Usually in connection with one of the other ploys listed here, find a way to side-track the discussion with abrasive or controversial comments in hopes of turning attention to a new, more manageable topic. This works especially well with companions who can “argue” with you over the new topic and polarize the discussion arena in order to avoid discussing more key issues.


18. Emotionalize, Antagonize, and Goad Opponents. If you can’t do anything else, chide and taunt your opponents and draw them into emotional responses which will tend to make them look foolish and overly motivated, and generally render their material somewhat less coherent. Not only will you avoid discussing the issues in the first instance, but even if their emotional response addresses the issue, you can further avoid the issues by then focusing on how “sensitive they are to criticism”.


19. Ignore proof presented, demand impossible proofs. This is perhaps a variant of the “play dumb” rule. Regardless of what material may be presented by an opponent in public forums, claim the material irrelevant and demand proof that is impossible for the opponent to come by (it may exist, but not be at his disposal, or it may be something which is known to be safely destroyed or withheld, such as a murder weapon). In order to completely avoid discussing issues may require you to categorically deny and be critical of media or books as valid sources, deny that witnesses are acceptable, or even deny that statements made by government or other authorities have any meaning or relevance.


20. False evidence. Whenever possible, introduce new facts or clues designed and manufactured to conflict with opponent presentations as useful tools to neutralize sensitive issues or impede resolution. This works best when the crime was designed with contingencies for the purpose, and the facts cannot be easily separated from the fabrications.


21. Call a Grand Jury, Special Prosecutor, or other empowered investigative body. Subvert the (process) to your benefit and effectively neutralize all sensitive issues without open discussion. Once convened, the evidence and testimony are required to be secret when properly handled. For instance, if you own the prosecuting attorney, it can insure a Grand Jury hears no useful evidence and that the evidence is sealed an unavailable to subsequent investigators. Once a favorable verdict (usually, this technique is applied to find the guilty innocent, but it can also be used to obtain charges when seeking to frame a victim) is achieved, the matter can be considered officially closed.


22. Manufacture a new truth. Create your own expert(s), group(s), author(s), leader(s) or influence existing ones willing to forge new ground via scientific, investigative, or social research or testimony which concludes favorably. In this way, if you must actually address issues, you can do so authoritatively.


23. Create bigger distractions. If the above does not seem to be working to distract from sensitive issues, or to prevent unwanted media coverage of unstoppable events such as trials, create bigger news stories (or treat them as such) to distract the multitudes.


24. Silence critics. If the above methods do not prevail, consider removing opponents from circulation by some definitive solution so that the need to address issues is removed entirely. This can be by their death, arrest and detention, blackmail or destruction of their character by release of blackmail information, or merely by proper intimidation with blackmail or other threats.


25. Vanish. If you are a key holder of secrets or otherwise overly illuminated and you think the heat is getting too hot, to avoid the issues, vacate the kitchen.

10 Worst Horror Movie Remakes

10 Worst Horror Movie Remakes


Let's talk about the 10 worst horror movie remakes. When you think of these, be insulted. Be very very insulted.


1.  The Haunting


The original "The Haunting" based on the Shirley Jackson novel, "The Haunting Of Hill House," done in 1963 was a classic ghost story movie. Then, a remake starring big-named actors came along, changed the plot up completely into some juvenile muddled hot mess and turned it into one of the worst horror remakes of all time with a big budget and big actors, to boot!  Shirley Jackson would surely bitch slap that director!


2.  The Wicker Man
The original Wicker Man from 1973 was a classic tale of witchery and a righteous man. Edward Woodward and Christopher Lee did an impeccable job of mixing surreal with real, magic with evil. Then, someone decided Nicholas Cage was the obvious replacement for the role in one of the most amateurish and awful takes on the compelling and horrifying original. It ended up making viewers giggle.  You might enjoy my son's review of this remake -



 

3.  The Fog


I will never understand how someone could view "The Fog" (John Carpenter version circa 1980), the atmosphere, the storytelling, the acting, the dialogue, and plot, and say "I think I can do this better with worse acting, tearing apart the plot, making a convoluted ending and a total botch job." The original was like a slowly unfolding sea faring tale with fog, a ghost ship, and a town about to get its payback. The remake took place near the sea. That's about all I can say.


4.  When a Stranger Calls

The original movie had tension up the wazoo as a babysitter starts getting crank calls by someone who may not be a crank, but a real killer. And he's in the house! I had some issues with the plot of the first movie, admittedly, but it took an urban legend to a new level of horror. It was a classic of its time and one thing to consider when deciding to remake a horror movie, do not do it in modern times. Today, we have crowding, cell phones, and no reason to be totally trapped. If you want to redo a horror movie, go back for a "period" piece and give them the "I can't get help" that seems realistic by the simple virtue of there were no telephones back then or cell phones or tons of neighbors. The remake had a gorgeous location - I seriously want that house!  The director decided to take us to an edgier level, which would be ideal if you weren't satisfied by the first one, but by putting the killer in a chase with the babysitter and kids in the house, it was a completely different movie. No urban legend. Just a senseless killer once again.

5.  House of Wax

I saw House of Wax remake on its opening day. The best moment was when Paris Hilton's character was killed in a grizzly manner and the audience broke out in applause. It was downhill from there. If they weren't trying to do a remake of a classic Vincent Price movie from the 1950s and there was nothing to compare it with, it might seem almost interesting, but damn it! They had to go and steal the concept and completely redo it so very far removed from the original that the very only thing that remained was someone using people to make wax figures. It was not even really in the same genre and certainly not anywhere in the same class as the chilling original. Once again, a modern take that makes it impossible to be atmospheric and scary, but had they just made it a period piece, it would have at least been feasible for these teens with cars and cell phones to be so freaking stupid and trapped.


6.  Halloween 

Halloween (once again a John Carpenter classic) has become the gold standard movie to show in the month of October. Haunting creepy music and banging piano sounds, dry leaves floating around, creepy urban legend for a small town, and a killer on the loose - it was magic. But, along the line someone with a very over inflated ego thought "I can take that and show why Michael was the way he was." So, he made a movie, called it "Halloween" and probed into the background of a killer. In the original, Michael was the Boogeyman. In this convoluted psychological drama, Michael is just generally from an f'ed up family and kind of twisted. Not invincible, mind you, just a hot mess. It's like shining a light on the man behind the curtain in Oz. Deflated.


7.  Psycho
I'm still pondering how any ego can be so huge that it says to itself, "Hitchcock? One of the greatest thrillers of all time? No problem! I can totally fix that mess!" So, someone decided to take the moody, sulking, seedy, dark, and twisted original that gave everyone their first fear of showers and staying in creepy motels and decided Anne Heche and Vince Vaughn are ideal for the roles.




 8. The Hitcher

The Hitcher was a classic 1980s movie involving the always scary scenario of picking up a hitchhiker only to find he's a freaking lunatic and you're in the middle of the desert with no help in sight. This was powerfully acted by C. Thomas Howell and Rutger Hauer. The director left us with a lot of wonder about how this guy got to be such a freaking psycho and we felt for the poor kid who was up against a mind much keener than his. The movie was gritty, tense, and on the edge of your seat awesome. Then, someone came along and thought they would change it up with a not so mysterious plot and a killer that was unbelievable. It's not a hard concept to just say "can I really beat this quality of movie?"

9.   Night of the Living Dead

Do I need to even explain why this concept should be touched by anyone? A classic made in a certain time and space, with a certain amount of novel approach, so simple and yet so complex, such a pivotal movie for the horror genre, should never be touched, but left to be worshiped every October.

10.   The Amityville Horror

Yet again, if a movie is well cast, you do no want to try to put new people in the roles, especially when the old roles were soooooo well recognized.



- Honorable mention - 

Oh, there's many more including "The Omen," "The Birds," "The Wolfman," "Prom Night," "The Hills Have Eyes," "Carrie," and "Texas Chainsaw Massacre."

In general, if it's a remake, turn and walk away. Perhaps by not flooding the box office, moviemakers might finally be forced to do something original and quick f'ing with the classics.
