Cry Bullcrap and let loose Dogs of Conspiracy!

High Quality fertilizer given above!

          Okay, I will be the first one to admit that we've got a bunch of lunatics in power right now who love to tread on the most basic of rights and even a couple that I firmly believe would love to round up all the naysayers and lock them up somewhere dark and scary.  Hell I will even go so far to as to say that one or two of the nutballs in power would do exactly what is described above if given half the chance, but even my level of bullshit acceptance is overwhelmed by this so-called news article.

Whew what's that smell?

          So according to this learned report produced by the Kremlin (You know the masters of misinformation.) the "Obama Regime" ordered a massive military attack against American Rebel Forces which including dropping a 2000 pound laser guided bomb on them.  This attack supposedly killed "at least 380 men, women and children who had gathered to oppose their nations slide towards a totalitarian dictatorship."  The bomb "hit in the middle of those gathered at this meeting killing over three quarters of them instantly."  Supposedly then "Obama regime military forces “numbering in the high-hundreds” descended upon Michigan [photo 2nd right] utilizing nearly 85 combat transport helicopters and A-10 Thunderbolt air-to-ground missile equipped fighter aircraft."  To finish the job, I am assuming.

          Now lets pause for a moment and ponder these "facts."  I know a little about munitions and know a lot of people who know more.  I am pretty certain that if a ton of high explosives were laser guided to a target where a large group of people were gathered, I doubt that there would have been any survivors at all.  That's a lot of bang!  Secondly, does anyone in their right mind believe that a "covert operation" involving nearly a hundred heavily armed aircraft could be conducted in MICHIGAN of all places?  There would have been hundreds of YouTube videos posted before anyone could do a darned thing about it.  

          Now onto more silliness.  "Russian nuclear experts contributing to this FSB report state that the elevated radiation levels associated with this attack by the Obama regime upon these rebel forces state that they were caused by the bombs used because they contain depleted uranium, and that there is the “strong likelihood” various other rebel areas of the States of Michigan and Indian may have been targeted too."  Okay first let's deal with the concept of a 2000 lb bomb being fitted with depleted uranium.  To achieve the levels of radiation cited in this report, the bomb would have to have been laced with so much DU that I doubt the darned thing could have been carried let alone dropped.  Secondly, DU is used as an armor piercing agent.  Unless these rebels were hold up in a massively fortified underground bunker (Which admittedly would be cool.) there would be no point to using DU.  DU does not make a bigger bang, hence the Depleted part of DU.

Fox News/Faux News

          Now anyone who knows me knows I love to rag on Fox News or Faux News as I like to call them, but this time they are pretty much blameless for the quote used in the article.  Here is the actual article quoted out of context by the offending piece.  As you can see it has absolutely nothing to do with attacks on rebel forces.  

  http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/06/08/pentagon-putting-brakes-on-program-that-gives-weapons-to-law-enforcement-until

          So the fact that this piece can deliberately take information and distort it by simply quoting, "The Defense Department has stopped issuing weapons to thousands of law enforcement agencies until it is satisfied that state officials can account for all the surplus guns, aircraft, Humvees and armored personnel carriers it has given police under a $2.6 billion program, The Associated Press has learned. The department’s Defense Logistics Agency ordered state-appointed coordinators in 49 states to certify the whereabouts of that equipment that has already been distributed through the long-running arrangement overseen by the agency’s Law Enforcement Support Office." completely destroys any possible credibility that the piece might have had.  In short, the Rebels article is a combination of pure bullshit mixed in with heresay and neatly wrapped up in misinformation.

          Don't get me wrong, I know that there are a lot of things messed up in this country and things could get a lot worse, but can we at least try to find out actual facts before believing any and every conspiracy that comes along.  God I am clinically paranoid and even I am not this bad.  40 years ago, a conspiracy nutjob might reach a few hundred people by standing on a corner handing out mimeographed fliers.  99% of the people ignored them because, well they were nuts.  Now these same crazies can reach millions of people with the power of the Interwebz.  Because the info is on Websites slickly done, it gives the lies some appearance of credibility and people who should know better are drawn in to it.  Those people tell their friends "Wow do you know what I saw on the net last night?" and the madness just grows.

           Just when you see this crap, don't automatically think "Oh my god, really?!"  Do some research, ask around and actually find out as much as you can.  Because if you can seriously read an article researched by the Kremlin and reported in an EU paper about the Obama Regime launching a massive covert military strike against rebel forces in MICHIGAN and not have anyone in the country find out, you need serious help.

Boom!  What was that?  Must've been a cow farting.
