Yet another tragedy has turned into seemingly the biggest news of the decade by our wonderful mainstream media. Twelve people died and thirty-one were wounded in the purported “terrorist” attack last week. These deaths and injuries should never be minimized, but it is our public responsibility to investigate and challenge the official story if it looks fishy.
The first extremely fishy aspect of the attack is that there were initially five attackers, not just one “radical” Muslim, Nidal Malik Hasan. That number then fell to three. The two extra attackers were then “cleared” and were driven away in U.S. Government Crown Victorias.
It was then manufactured by the mainstream media that Hasan was an expert marksman, making him look like a professional killer. This propaganda was soon rebuked when Hasan’s cousin reported to Fox News, saying “He wasn’t even someone who enjoyed going to the firing range.” More troubling is that the official story was that Hasan hit/injuried forty-three people in three minutes with a handgun. It would definitely require a decent marksman in order to seek out and shoot that many people in that amount of time. Some of the victims were shot more than once, too. Another overlooked fact is that, unless a shooter is particularly adept at reloading, it would also take a while in the transition between rounds. Fox News later changed the story up and said two guns were used, the other being a semi-automatic.
Lt. Gen. Robert Cone told the mainstream media that he heard rumors that the witnesses of the attacks heard Hasan yell out “Allah Akbar” – God is great – before going on his rampage. None of these supposed witnesses have come out and admitted to hearing this, yet.
The attack happened at the Soldier Readiness Processing Center in Ft. Hood, where troops wait to see doctors before being deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, conveniently giving the wars more credence. Furthermore, the zone where the attack took place was a gun-free zone. Now how on Earth did a foreign firearm get into a gun-free zone in the biggest and one of the most important military bases in the U.S.?
The FBI claimed to have been tracking him for six months because of some anti-American, pro-Muslim Facebook postings. Hasan was a man who vocally wanted out of the military, even offering to pay back medical school costs to do so. A few days later another twist emerged: ABC reported that Hasan was also known by the FBI to have been trying to contact al Qaeda for six months. If so, the military simultaneously promoted Hasan: to Major in May. Wow, does that smell fishy!
Another disturbing fact is that Hasan was part of a Washington task force to advise Obama regarding Security Priorities. I’m not lying, he’s right there.
As the story builds, the Ft. Hood saga quickly becomes another great incentive for Obama’s anti-Iran and anti-gun policies to manifest. Sure is convenient that al Qaeda reemerged as a threat. But wait: it’s not quite sellable yet, even to the largely gullible public. Ok, let’s get a picture of the terrorist. 
Hmm, no; that one won’t do. He looks far too nice to be a big bad terrorist. 
That’s a little better. But it’s not quite evil looking enough. Ah! This should fix that problem. 
Let’s blur the image and turn it into a black and white photo to make it look more evil. Yeah, now it even looks like it may have come from a third-world country to the unthinking observer. Oh, and throw a distraught American family member and an empathetic, trustworthy looking officer in there next to the picture. Ok, now he looks evil enough to sell this story to the masses. Run the presses!

How stupid.
Fort Hood was a false flag by government agents to further instill hate against Muslims and thereby to support the empire's exploitative wars against middle eastern Muslim countries.
Hasan is the patsy who never fired a single shot on Thursday 5 November 2009 at Fort Hood.
He was left for dead on the transit hall floor and now is at great risk of being suicided.

History and experience leads me to speculate the 3 - 5 gunmen were brown-skinned CIA/Mossad agents in army fatigues.
False eye-wittness testimonies are being procured to be broadcast in the main stream media.
Hasan will not be allowed to speak to a neutral third party in order to keep the false flag a secret.
I'm afraid that we will never know the truth. Whatever that is. But the author is right. The story is smelly enough to dig deeper.
Is this article an ill timed piece of satire or truly a glimpse into the mind of an ideologue?
Still digging....
I agree that this whole tragedy smells fishy, but most Americans will just bend over and take what the media feeds them without any questions. Don't be surprised if the suspected gunman conveniently commits suicide in the coming days, or just days before his court hearing. Wake up America!!!
In the last decade, every mass shooting, at schools or otherwise, the perps have all been under some kind of psychiatric medication, which carry black box warnings of side effects like depression, suicide and thoughts of murder. Yet, the experts haven't put 2 and 2 together on this. Big Pharma and the Psycho-pharmaceuticals wouldn't like that kind of PR.
Hasan being a psychiatrist himself... ya think he had any access to these poisons?
But the media, especially Fox News, brings out the Neo-cons and other war-mongers to pitch the Muslim thing... pathetic! Neo-con Bill Kristol and others should be prosecuted for inciting hatred and mass-murder.
You people are idiots. And John Galt, you wold of made a great Nazi wanting to jail reporters for their words.
"THEY (FORT HOOD INVESTIGATORS) CALLED LAST NIGHT AND ASKED ABOUT A SPECIFIC NAME AND GUN PURCHASE, BUT THE NAME WAS NOT HASAN."
This is what David Cheadle, the owner of the gun store wherre Nidal Hasan is alleged to have bought the murder weapon, told ABC news reporters the day after the shootings.
(You can find the story on the ABC news website; the headline is "'Cop Killer' Gun Used In Ft. Hood Shooting, Officials Said")
If Hasan is the only suspect, Why would investigators ask about the a gun purchase made by someone other than Hasan, and not ask about a purchase made by Hasan? Unless there is another suspect, their line of questioning makes no sense at all.
Got something to say?
