Strange Virginia Tech “Coincidences”
Thursday April 19th 2007, 9:28 pm
“In the magical universe there are no coincidences
and there are no accidents. Nothing happens unless someone wills it to
happen.” –William S. Burroughs
website notes, Virginia Tech is an “active partner” with DARPA, the
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. In addition, the CIA
actively recruits VT students, holding events the spook agency bills as
“career information” sessions.
“News Commentary” claims
“Blacksburg, VA houses a US government ABOVE TOP SECRET underground
laboratory (in the side of a local Blacksburg mountain) that develops
in conjunction with DARPA, weapons such as human robotic mind control
programming.” A Google search, however, turns up no mention of mind
control experiments, of course, but there is plenty of reference to the
“Deep Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory… 7,000 feet under Butt Mountain” in Blacksburg.
Part
of the AMADEUS Project (Advanced MAnipulation for DEep Underwater
Sampling), funded by the European Commission (i.e., the executive body
of the one-world European Union), the Deep Underground Science and
Engineering Laboratory, according to The Pit Bulletin
(the newsletter of the Department of Mining and Minerals Engineering at
Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University), is designed for
“military needs, ranging from unique designs for underground sporting
arenas to storing various types of waste materials…. the AMADEUS team
feel that the expanding world population is creating a demand for
additional types of underground construction.” As well, an “expanding
world population” may call for the development of “perfect weapons”
long sought by DARPA and the Pentagon, including avian influenza H5N1,
an area of research at VT, according to Virginia Tech News
(a Google reference points to a page that currently produces an SQL
error). “If I were reincarnated, I would wish to be returned to Earth
as a killer virus to lower human population levels,” Prince Phillip.
Finally, a resume posted on the VT Computer Science Department website by Robert G. Ball
notes grants awarded to the university by ARDA/DTO, short for Advanced
Research and Development Activity, Disruptive Technology Office. “ARDA
was created in 1998 after the model of the Defense Advanced Research
Projects Agency (DARPA) by the Director of Central Intelligence and the
Department of Defense, and took responsibility for funding some of
DARPA’s projects,” explains Wikipedia.
“There has been speculation that the DTO is continuing research efforts
started under the Total Information Awareness program (TIA) in DARPA’s
Information Awareness Office (IAO)…. Although ARDA’s budget is
presumably classified as part of the intelligence budget, the New York
Times quoted an unnamed former government official saying the agency
spent about $100 million a year in 2003. The Associated Press reports
that ARDA had a staff of only eight in 2004.” Early last year, I
reported that DTO was to be run by John Negroponte (see my TIA “Disruptive Technology” Subverting Bill of Rights).
Of
course, all of this secret and not so secret activity on the Virginia
Tech campus and environs is not definitive evidence Cho Seung-Hui was a
government produced mind-control assassin. However, it does indicate VT
serves as a hub for experimental and prototype DoD technologies.
It
is no secret the Pentagon has had a keen interest in electromagnetic
weapons for some time. “Electronic mind-control research is not new,” CNN
reported in 1985. “A scientific milestone in this area came in the
1960s when Dr. Jose Delgado demonstrated remote control over a charging
bull.” Military affairs specialist Chuck DeCaro told CNN: a “scientist,
who did not want his identity revealed … employed by the U.S.
Government … has done secret RF weapons research. He believes that
tests done with the [Soviet developed] Lida and similar machines prove
that humans are susceptible to remote alterations of mood and
awareness…. Certain kinds of weak electromagnetic signals work exactly
like drugs, and so the promise is that anything you can do with drugs
you could do with the right electromagnetic signal.” Dr. Robert Becker,
a pioneer in the field of bioeffects of electromagnetism, added: “As
far as I’m concerned, the potential that this has for producing a
direct psychoactive effect upon the total American population is there,
has never been disproven.”
The late professor Dr. Gerhard Beyer
of Virginia Polytechnic Institute at Virginia Tech broke a significant
part of the “magnetic code,” and no doubt this was of interest to DARPA
and the Pentagon.

The Cho Seung-Hui Video Show
Wednesday April 18th 2007, 9:20 pm
If
we are to believe the emerging timeline of events, Cho Seung-Hui killed
a woman and her RA in a dorm, went back to his dorm and captured a
QuickTime video rant, burned a DVD, trekked to the post office with two
9mm weapons in tow, mailed the DVD, along with photos and miscellaneous
writings to NBC, and then marched over to Norris Hall and killed
another thirty or so people execution-style.
Add to this a
bevy of “experts” on television this evening declaring Cho Seung-Hui to
be obviously paranoid schizophrenic. Excuse me, but paranoid
schizophrenics, minus medication, have a difficult time stitching two
coherent sentences together, let alone methodically engaging in
homicide, managing to escape undetected, and then recording thoughts
after the fact and conjuring up the wherewithal to send out a press
release.
I’m not buying it.
But what I can buy, or at
least entertain, is the possibility Cho Seung-Hui is, for lack of a
better term, a Manchurian Candidate. Do a Google search on Project
Bluebird, the very real CIA experiments in brainwashing and multiple
personality engineering.
“BLUEBIRD was approved by the CIA
director on April 20, 1950. In August 1951, the Project was renamed
ARTICHOKE. BLUEBIRD and ARTICHOKE included a great deal of work on the
creation of amnesia, hypnotic couriers, and the Manchurian Candidate,”
writes Colin A. Ross, MD. “ARTICHOKE documents prove that hypnotic
couriers functioned effectively in real-life simulations conducted by
the CIA in the early 1950’s. The degree to which such individuals were
used in actual operations is still classified…. BLUEBIRD and ARTICHOKE
were administered in a compartmented fashion. The details of the
programs were kept secret even form other personnel within the CIA….
The BLUEBIRD/ARTICHOKE materials establish conclusively that full
Manchurian Candidates were created and tested successfully by
physicians with TOP SECRET clearance from the CIA…. As well as being
potential couriers and infiltration agents, the subjects could function
in effect as hypnotically controlled cameras. They could enter a room
or building, memorize materials quickly, leave the building, and then
be amnesic for the entire episode. The memorized material could then be
retrieved by a handler using a previously implanted code or signal,
without the amnesia being disturbed. Hypnosis was not the mind control
doctors’ only method for creation of controlled amnesia, however.
Drugs, magnetic fields, sound waves, sleep deprivation, solitary
confinement, and many other methods were studied under BLUEBIRD and
ARTHICHOKE.”
Before you write me off as another tinfoil hat
nut case, consider this document, released from the CIA under an FOIA
request. In part, the document states:
“Miss [redacted] was
instructed (having expressed a fear of firearms) that she would use
every method at her disposal to awaken Miss [redacted] (now in a deep
hypnotic sleep). Failing this, she would pick up a pistol and fire it
at Miss [redacted]. She was instructed that she would not hesitate to
“kill” [redacted]. Miss [redacted] carried out these suggestions
including firing the (unloaded) gun at [redacted] and then proceeded to
fall into a deep sleep. After proper suggestions were made, both were
awakened. Miss [redacted] expressed absolute denial that the foregoing
sequence had happened.”
Of course, the existence of Project
Bluebird and the search for Manchurian Candidate is hardly conclusive
evidence Cho Seung-Hui was a programmed murder zombie. On the other
hand, the picture painted by the corporate media, that Cho Seung-Hui
was simply a mentally deranged and violent loner who stalked women and
wrote disjointed plays does not make sense, especially considering his
reported proficiency with handguns and the series of methodical tasks
he accomplished soon after gunning down two people in cold blood.
Either
way, the largest massacre in American history, carried out on the
campus of a prestigious engineering school, will certainly jack up the
fear ratio—to say nothing of launch yet another salvo at the Bill of
Rights, two things certain to please our control freak rulers.
Cui bono?
[…]
Also, Justin Raimondo has some interesting things to say about the
neo-con response to the massacre. And, of course, some people will
continue to ask: “Cui bono?“ […]

Cui
bono? Who benefits? At some point in the future, would a company that
provides physical security for large organizations benefit from what
just happened at Virginia Tech? It’s obviously just a coincidence that
the sister of the shooter works for a large provider of these services.
Right? A company with more publicly stated connections to U.S.
Intelligence than you can shake a stick at… A company that is providing
ongoing support to current U.S. Intelligence operations…
Feel
free to keep clicking around on that site, if you dare. Intelligence
operations. Physical security operations at airports and top secret
government facilities. Government document declassification. Handling
of information related to weapons of mass destruction… It goes on and
on.

Kucinich's impeachment plans for Cheney derailed by Virgina Tech shooting
Coincidence,
or conspiracy? I truly don't know. But I feel compelled to put these
facts side by side so you can paint your own picture here.
Over the weekend, Dennis Kucinich’s staff drafts the following:
April 17, 2007
Dear Colleague:
This
week I intend to introduce Articles of Impeachment with respect to the
conduct of Vice President Cheney. Please have your staff contact my
office . . . if you would like to receive a confidential copy of the
document prior to its introduction in the House.
Sincerely,
/s/
Dennis J. Kucinich
Member of Congress
[Source]
In
a campaign video now posted on YouTube, dated last Friday the 13th,
Kucinich reopens a discussion of impeachment, and mentions the Vice
President.
But at the start of the week, before Kucinich can
follow through, there’s a mass killing at Virginia Tech, and now
Kucinich’s plans for introducing impeachment articles against Cheney
are put on indefinite hold. [Source]
We’re supposed to believe
that, “just minutes" after shooting people in his dorm, Cho Seung-Hui
either runs into his car and makes a confession on videotape, or gets a
pre-taped confession, and then mails a massive multimedia package to
NBC (that’s taking them “hours to get through,” according to Brian
Williams. “Much of it is incoherent, laced with profanity.”)
One
of the things I heard several times yesterday is that, while the
authorities could absolutely link the gun to the two shooting, they
could not prove that Cho Seung-Hui was in fact the shooter in both
places. That doesn’t mean he didn’t do it – only that while they could
confidently link him to the first shooting, they had no such solid
evidence to link him to the second, even though they were certain that
the same gun had been used in both places. The unspoken subtext was
that they could not, at that point, rule out a possible conspiracy.
There’s also the obvious question, voiced in the clip above, as to who
took the pictures of Cho pointing a gun at his head, and other equally
disturbing images.
If you listen to and watch Cho on his
videotaped message, he sounds like he’s repeating something he learned
-– not coming up with those thoughts in real time. Yet somehow, this
"deranged loner" was about to put together 27 video clips, 43 stills,
and pages of solid text, kill two people, race off to the post office
to mail a package, and then return to campus to kill many more people?
If that were in a Hollywood script, readers would toss that one out as
simply not credible.
But here's the piece that really caught my
attention. The video is a confession of guilt, with his face right
there for the world to see. This guy is planning on getting caught,
right? So then why did he file the serial numbers off his weapon??
Criminals do that so as NOT to get caught. So we have a serious
contradiction there. One that's not just bizarre, but suggestive of an
alternate narrative.
Here's a sheerly speculative assembly of the facts from a different perspective:
Yes,
Cho is deranged, but maybe as the result of mind control operations,
which could have been conducted when Cho was hospitalized for being
mentally ill. Mind control operations can take sane people and turn
them into mentally ill people. Such experiments are well documented in
the book "The Mind Manipulators," one of the lesser known but excellent
tomes on the subject.
The serials numbers could have been filed
off by the person who gave Cho the weapons so that no one could link
Cho's handler to Cho directly.
Was Cho being trained for a different mission? Consider what Brian Williams is saying on that video:
"...students
[on the Virginia Tech campus] talked about how creepy and methodically
he was when he changed clips, dropping the clip out - just the way we
see the cop shows on television. You and I, without gun training,
wouldn't come to it so naturally. The way he hung the clips on that
[ammunition] vest and now seeing the picture [of Cho looking like a
trained shooter]...it's beyond spooky."
Williams and Chris
Matthews discuss how his vest can hold a lot of ammunition. He's got
gloves specially cut to give his trigger finger maximum flexibility.
You don't learn all that from watching cop shows on TV. What's this
kid's REAL history?
I can believe anyone capable of anything.
Psychoapaths really do exist, and are capable of mass murder. But when
I hear a story like this, I have to consider the possibility (that's
not spelled "probability") of alternate scenarios.
I could
easily picture this guy, especially after seeing clips of him speaking
in that weird monotone delivery, as someone under post-hypnotic
control. But what I couldn’t imagine was the motive for someone having
him do this now, at this time, at that location, until I read of
Kucinich’s plans this week, now on hold. I know. It sounds like I’m
suggesting something wild and outrageous. But it’s no more wild and
outrageous than to suggest some of the biggest names in politics
conspired to keep the truth of Kennedy’s assassination from the
American people to prevent (so they thought) a nuclear showdown with
the Soviet Union. And that’s provably what happened in that case. It
also sounds wild to suggest that Sirhan Sirhan was a mind-controlled
patsy set up to pull focus to himself, away from the actual shooters
who were killling RFK and wounding others. But it's also provable that
there were more bullet holes than Sirhan’s gun could hold bullets for
in the pantry when RFK was killed, and there's a lot of evidence that
Sirhan was firing blanks.
All official narratives are always
just stories to me. And as the wise detective in V for Vendetta noted,
"A story can be true or false." I think it's a valuable exercise to
question everything and wait until more facts are on the table before
believing anything. Maybe Cho really was insane and just did all these
inexplicable acts for no reason. That's a possible scenario. I'm just
pointing out there are other scenarios that could also explain the
known facts to date, and we should not be hasty here. The truth about
what happened really matters. The families of the dead deserve to know
exactly who killed their loved ones, and why, to the extent that it's
possible to know. I hope good, honest people will pursue every possible
angle of this case and get us the genuine truth about what happened. Of
course, how can we ever be sure that's what we got, in the end?

For What It's Worth
Buffalo Springfield
There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side
It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away
We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
