Here in Austin we have a local radio dj who does a public access show on various issue localy and nationaly, Alex Jones, who has put a piece on some sort of bio-weapon test that occurred in '66 in San Francisco. He is claiming that deaths resulted.
Anyone have a clue what he's talking about?
Had a bioweapons test occurred in the people's republic of San Francisco, it seems likely they would have erected billboards spelling out the details in letters visible from the moon. I assume that this is one of these anonymous source things. According to official, yet anonymous sources the US/CIA forces committed every crime of every regime around the world, including the purported crimes of Pol Pot in Cambodia, (I kid you not) and they are actually running a totalitarian state in the USA but the people are too brainwashed to notice. They also sell cocaine. Similarly, according to sources that are not anonymous, but which (strange to report) no one else can find, Nike is actually producing its shoes in something very like slave labor camps. The reason the refutation of the CNN story (US uses nerve gas to kill defectors and exterminate villagers) made such news is that CNN was so careless as to actually name identifiable real people as the source of this story. (They needed faces and it is hard to put the faces of anonymous sources on TV.) Naturally those real people were mighty pissed and denied the story attributed to them. There is a wagon load of similar stories using supposedly official, but anonymous sources, or sources that do not appear to be real people. The print media works much better for such sources than TV. In short, do you think the internet is the net of a million lies? Not so. It is the place where lies get exposed. It is far easier to get away with lying in the old media, because nobody answers you back. --digsig James A.
