Crazy Reported News That Was Quickly Dropped & Never Heard Of Again

Another of my favorites that was never followed up on.

Why did SARAH PALIN resign as Governor of Alaska?

At the time she resigned, there were all sorts of questions from the press about why she did this, and she just responded with "this will be answered at a later date" but NOTHING has been said, and the press hasn't questioned her on this - it's just gone away. There was also an FBI investigation into misappropriated funds in the Alaska Governor's office at the time that also seems to have just gone away.

DEMOCRATS / CNN - If anyone is reading this, PLEASE investigate this.

I wonder if they're waiting for the 2012 election to pull some skeletons from the closet?

And what about this Gulf Oil Spill everyone was so crazy about? Seems almost like it never happened.

All I read about lately are trapped miners and financial meltdown.
Somebody trying to hide something? Maybe I'm just paranoid.

Two very valid points. The gulf oil spill went away pretty much right after they capped it, just like Hurricane Katrina was shut out of the public eye as soon as shte Superdome was evacuated. It seems that stories from the South just aren't in the nation's interest - what about the massive cleanup effort that BP promised - the press promised that they would follow up and make sure it was happening - which of course, they haven't done. I haven't seen a single follow up story about the Gulf since they capped the well.

Same with Iraq. Ever since the American "end of combat operations" it seems that stories about Iraq are few and far between in the news (although Afghan stories as you pointed out have increased), even though American troops are still dying in Iraq every week - it's still a very dangerous place.

Another story that seems to have disappeared from mainstream media that was whipped into an absolute frenzy was the mosque at ground zero - there has hardly been a report on this in the press lately, but they're still going ahead with it as far as I know.

The American people are exceedingly stupid. Not individually so much as on the whole. Attention spans of gnats and raised on television. We seem to believe that things are wrapped up nice and neat in either 30 minutes (if it is funny) or 60 minutes (if it is serious).

When we rolled into Iraq, Bush said, "It is going to take a long time. Years and years". Everyone nodded in approval, saying, "Of course, it is war. Wars can take years". Once the "Shock and Awe" was over, the public was tired of it and we saw the "Bush Lied" meme take hold (whether it is true or not is not for this thread to debate).

The ironic part about how good this thread is: it is a badge of shame that all westerners should wear with dishonor. Especially in America. Here it is the DUTY of The People to watch the government and keep them in line. Epic fail.

You said it. When Obama ran for President, he said MANY times during his campaign "we're going to do what's right for America, not necessarily what is popular". He's followed through. A healthcare plan which is right for America but not popular, letting Bush tax cuts expire which is right for America but not popular, staying in Iraq to protect Oil Interests, which is right for America but not popular, keeping Guatanamo Bay open so they don't have to do trials in New York, which is right for America but not popular, Refusing a national moratorium on foreclosures, which is right for America but not popular.

He's done EXACTLY what he said he would do. He said on the campaign trail he would pass health care and let the tax cuts expire. He said many things he didn't do as well, such as shutting down Guatanamo Bay, but took the option every time that was right for America.

His position with the mosque at Ground Zero - right for America (freedom of religion as defined by the Constitution) but not popular.

Most Americans don't realize that the ONLY THING that the President is sworn to do is "to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States from all enemies, foreign and domestic". He is sworn to protect the CONSTITUTION, not the PEOPLE or the COUNTRY or the TROOPS or the FLAG.

Just watching Bill Maher from Friday night.

I LOVED his quote "Michael Jackson could have returned from the dead with Jesus this week and it wouldn't have made the news" because of the diversion that is the Chilean Miner idiocy.

He's probably right.

Well...i wouldn't agree with much of the above, but we can agree that the Presidents sworn duty is to uphold the Constitution.

Maybe THAT could be one of the more under reported stories in America's recent history. People don't seem to understand that, either.

I think I've found what you were talking about:

It was a really simple Google search: "MIT scientist solar", and it was the very first link in the results.

"This work is related to the probability that there is life somewhere else," said Breslow. "Everything that is going on on Earth occurred because the meteorites happened to land here. But they are obviously landing in other places. If there is another planet that has the water and all of the things that are needed for life, you should be able to get the same process rolling."

Amino acids are found in meteorites, not full blown human DNA

If I remember correctly the bonds were declared as forged and the two men were deported back to Japan.

A related question: If you commit a crime in one country and are deported for it what happens to you then? Are you charged with those crimes in your home country or let off with no charges? After they are deported I never hear anymore about it.

edit on 10/9/2010 by LuFri because: (no reason given)

Exactly, What happened to the two men? Who did they work for and why were they never charged with a crime if they were supposedly caught with 134 Billion dollars of fake US bonds?

The biggest forgery case in history and no news about it at all. Where did they end up?

I searched the web several times and there is nothing.

Also unknown are the whereabouts of the two men, who were released after being stopped in early June. Italian law does not call for the criminal arrest of persons found to be taking funds without permission to another country. It might have been another matter if the police had determined immediately that the bonds were false.

“The men were questioned, but not arrested,” said Naoki Oyakawa, an official at the Japanese consulate in Milan, which contacted judicial officials in Como after reading about the seizure in the Italian papers.

He said the two men had valid Japanese passports, but he would not elaborate further on their identities. “We don’t know where they are now,” he said. “We have had no contact with the two men. They have not asked us for our help.”

and 9/11

Another one - whatever happened to the murder case investigations of both Chandra Levy and Jon Benet Ramsay?

There were media circuses over both of these cases for months, then they both just quietly went away. Once the Congressman (or whatever it was) was found not to have murdered Chandra Levy the press lost interest, pretty much the same for Jon Benet's father after they put him through absolute hell in the court of public opinion.

On a side note, regarding media stories about Congressmen and Senators, there's too many to list that just "went away" from the mainstream media focus.

G'day all! Fantastic wealth of information you have here on ATS. So much info, so little time!!

About 5 years ago i was flicking through the Sydney Morning Herald, a very mainstream newspaper in Sydney Australia when i came across a double page article about the discovery of natural forming worm-hole like channels that flow around every planet of our solar system and possibly even our entire galaxy which could theoretically be used as a type of super highway with the possibility of getting us from Earth to Pluto in a matter of months. They stated they even had a manned or unmanned ship with its ID quoted and everything ready to launch through one close to Earth. It was so fascinating i kept the page in a folder of all my random favorite drawings i drew throughout my younger years. Ive had trouble finding the folder recently due to recent residential moves, though im determined to find that article again. It was the only information Ive ever read or heard about regarding it. I thought something as big as being able to travel around our solar system in a matter of months and years would be pretty important.

Anybody read about it or anything similar?

Hey guys n gals. whatever happened to that guy named Leo Wanta?

www.worldreports.org...

Wasnt he supposed to have a huge sum of money in trust for the people or something?
Im talking huge a hundred thirtyseven trillion dollars or other ridiculously massive amount of cash.
The rest escapes me but this was touted for a while on ATS.
Iam also wondering about the red dwarf companion.......

Cheers! Thank you a thousand times!

we will inform ourselves as to the concrete stzrategies of buildign and permites with engineers,,,

What about the IT genius who was murdered in a botch robbery who worked with the government in the USA who stumbled upon some interesting bio warfare programme (shortly before swine flu outbreak), apparently she had expressed fear to here friends and fmaily before her murde.

What about the women who was going to take down some very important people with here evidence that she had in regards to 9/11 or Iraq I can't remember which now. Days before she allegedly comitted suicide she had appeared on television and radio saying 'she was not suicidal and would do everything possible to testify against them)

What about the US Top Secret cleared biologist who was murdered in her home days after reporting to police that she was being watched and that someone was breaking in to her apartment looking for information.

What about the MI5 London worker that was found in a bag allegedly committed suicide by locking himself in a bag from the outrside??? as soon as the story broke on TV there were reports that he had been stabbed however, a few hours later the story changed to suicide then murder then back to suicide........Never to hear of again.

Phil Schneider R.I.P - Strangled himself with piano wire then had a stroke, his wife was not allowed to see his body and nothing more was said in the media

The 13 year old freeenergy engineer who was employed by NASA to turn ordinary water in to fuel, he was surrounded by 100 miles of armed security, I remember watching a TV programme years back that showed the boy in this house that had every toy you could ever think of, the reporter was trying to shed light on the fact that this boy did not have a life and was missing out on playing with his friends. The boy was years ahead of his time he spoke very mysteriously nothing more was ever said!

Here's some more information about what I think the biggest story being ignored now is, the Gulf Oil Spill and it's human casualties.

www.floridaoilspilllaw.com...



Riki Ott, a toxicologist who worked on the Exxon Valdez disaster says that physicians all through the Gulf region are not equipped to diagnose or treat this type of poisonings. She says people are dropping dead right now and that this may be what drives Obama from office.

Thanks this one of the few to become best threads in ATS as conspiracy theories believers will love to add and read on this information.

Please I have not read the entire thread yet, but I will, just in case, don't forget to include political candidates death now and scientist found also death by accident or that is what the government tells us.

US have a very dirty track record of accidental deaths and suicide.

In other nations we call it political assassinations, in the US is call suicide and accidents.
