My apologies, lupercal, I erred in writing OLA when I meant the Bath Elementary School and I was referring to Kehoe. None of my comment was concerned with anything you wrote about OLA, though I could say some about that. Sorry for unintentionally misleading you and for your effort constructing your reply. Perhaps considering this, you'll try this to address some of the issues I raised about your postings? But let me now try my best to respond to that you wrote that I feel should be commented upon.
you wrote:
My point is that schools have been sites of intel-organized mass murder since at least 1927. No, this is not a pleasant conclusion. Yes, it fills us with feelings of revulsion and anger, and it should. So do the mass murders, which are intended to arouse exactly the feelings of powerlessness and fear that 82_28 pointed out above. The planners of these crimes count on just these feelings to a) achieve their intel objectives and b) distract us from looking too closely at what actually occurs.
If you have any proof of this, your first sentence quoted above, please present it; I mean aside from saying this, in response to Mr. WRex's posting back on
page 7:
Interesting detail, hadn't heard it. When I looked into Bath a few years ago I was initially perplexed because it predated the OSS and CIA charters but I was never in the slightest doubt that it was a psy-op of some kind and Kehoe was a patsy. All the signs, and now this one, which you do realize can be read two ways, right?
Anyway I later learned that there were indeed several US "intelligence" operations afoot by the turn of the century, connected to the US Army, various police forces, and the oil companies, and while I never returned to the subject and can't say for sure exactly what the intended effect at Bath was, I have little doubt that some well-heeled concern used it to evade proceedings for some criminal behavior. It's a very old story.
And let me say that I find it near impossible to become angry about anything that happened decades before my birth, though I can feel revulsion for such gross and reprehensible actions.
So, regarding your "Last point":
Last point: in 1958 the asbestos industry was circling the grave, much like the tobacco industry, because emerging medical research finally linked it clearly and indisputably to mesotheliomia.
Actually, in 1958 the asbestos industry was booming to its greatest heights, far from "circling the grave," as this was during the largest building boom in history. Similarly, tobacco was on top of the world, and in the years since, their profits have grown tremendously. Again, what you've alleged is very far from the truth. Asbestos is still not banned in the US, though you must think it was. Oh, they tried, back in '89, but were unsuccessful in court defending their rationale for its ban.
Now just think about what you wrote here:
"...just about every pre-WWII school building in the US was eventually demolished and rebuilt, typically with loads of asbestos."Which is absolutely untrue. It's remarkable you could post something like this. Ever hear about the post-war baby boom? That's what drove the building of new schools; population growth. And anyone living in any city can avow, there are very many pre-war school buildings still in use.
And though my error in correctly naming the school misled you more than a bit, let me comment on this before closing:
p.s. where on earth did you get this teabagger tax theory? Seriously, that's insulting. In any case I can assure you that taxpapers do not pay for building or rebuilding parochial schools.
You're insulted? Seriously? Let's remember I was speaking only about Kehoe and his heinous acts, not OLA, but honestly, my putting forth increased taxation as a motive in the Bath elementary school bombing seems quite level-headed when compared to these horrible acts being committed to sell asbestos. (how's that supposed to tie in to Sandy Hook?)
By the way, after 1927, when did the next horror against schools or attending schoolchildren occur?
Silly me! I should have known you were referring only to parochial schools being targeted to be replaced by terrorizing children and communities, first fire-bombing their old schools and then building new asbestos filled schools... but then, how would Bath Elementary fit in to your theory?
I mean, considering you've written this:
"...just about every pre-WWII school building in the US was eventually demolished and rebuilt, typically with loads of asbestos," you can't blame me for thinking you meant 'all schools'. And taxpayers dollars do indeed pay for new public schools to be built.
But now you've got me going... So, it's a plot against Catholics! Well that certainly opens new doors to explore. But Sandy Hook was a public school... and newly built too... oh well.
Anyway, how about some recognition and a kind reply to my earlier points of criticism, you know, like admitting you were reckless; acknowledging your flawed argument when its been proven false, etc.? Funny you seemed to gloss over the majority of my posting and focused on one trite and rather irrelevant point.
Lastly, I don't want to beat a dead horse here but, how on earth can you write this,
"My point is that OLA, like Sandy Hook, was an intel crime. How do I know? Not because I leapt to that conclusion from any CT predisposition, trust me" and then omit sharing your "proof" for either? I'm only interested in discussing the Newtown incident, but if you have proof that OLA incident of 86 years ago was a psy-op, I'm sure we all would like to hear what you've got.
What ever happened to the practice of gathering
evidence before spouting out ridiculous theories?
