VINCE FOSTER. VINCE FOSTER.

Years ago, there was a website run by a conspiracist, I think it was called "Rancho Runamucka", which had an extensive collection of data about Vince Foster's death, including witness statements to police and a timeline of events.

Now, among conspiracy theorists, one of the key pieces of evidence that Foster was murdered was that the gun initially found with Foster was a "drop gun" that was later replaced with a nickle-plated handgun that Foster owned. Back then, I spent some time correlating witness descriptions of the gun with the timeline, and I was actually able to identify the specific police officer who must have switched the weapon! Seriously! Descriptions of the gun found with Foster changed from being an unremarkable gun to a nickle-plated gun right after a period of time when that police officer was alone with the body. If an untrained civilian like me could figure that out, then certainly professional law-enforcement officers must know.

I generally roll my eyes at the "birther" argument, mostly because it is fruitless. Right or wrong, he is and will remain president.

unless....

....there are stories about his SSN not matching his residence as a child, when it was issued. That is strange enough, but then you also have him using several SSN's over the years. Combine that with the allegations that he worked for the CIA over in Pakistan, and the propensity for the CIA to put former members in the POTUS seat.

Why is it not being reported on and investigated?

Or the "October Surprise"?

I am 100% positive that something is done to the American population to make them apathetic. But whatever it is, it doesn't work on some people. And that is why we are here, at ATS.

Interesting... I've never heard this one about Obama before, but it makes a lot of sense.

Remember, George Bush Sr. was the director of the CIA in the 1970's. By extension, we can assume his son was under their thumb as well.

Bill Clinton is rumored to have been involved in protecting drug smugglers in Arkansas. The CIA has admitted to being involved in drug running, so it's not unreasonable to conclude that Bill Clinton was involved with the CIA.

And by extension, his wife might be as well, particularly since it is screamingly obvious that she is the establishment's choice for president.

At this point, it is clear that the CIA has a lot of influence over the media, and can squash stories that they don't want covered. This probably why seemingly everyone in gov't and the media is working so hard to stop Trump. He's an "outsider" who is NOT affiliated with the CIA, thus they are doing absolutely everything they can to prevent him from winning.

How 'bout the "accidental" plane crash that killed JFK Jr?

And the one I like, I'm sure no one has heard at all about. Down here in the Yucatan, divers found a skeleton at 150 feet deep, and MILES inside a cenote, the caverns that abound in this area. Since the skeleton had no scuba tanks, it was fairly obvious that he could not have swum in there, and must come from a time when the sea level was far lower, therefore having walked in there. Carbon dating of the skeleton also backed this up, dating it at 13,000 years old.

Problem is, according to currently accepted theories, there were NO PEOPLE in the Americas at this time. NONE.

ANother problem is, the skeleton, of a teenage boy, was definitely an ASIAN.

Being an adolescent, it is unlikely he came to Mexico on his own. Most likely with his parents, and even more likely a larger group. ANd they definitely didn't SWIM over here.

THerefore, this establishes that people were able to cross the oceans even before what we consider recorded history. This is huge. It turns all archeology on its head, indeed what we know of the "history" of the world is called into question. This is why it is swept under the rug, careers are at stake.

Just like with everything else. Truth be damned, we must protect the status quo.

There are many cases like this. Here in America, the most well known is "Kennewick Man." A skeleton was found in a seaside cave in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon or Washington State, I forget which). It was ancient, and was clearly not Native American. Originally, it was thought to be the remains of a white frontiersman, except it was carbon-dated to be over 10,000 years old! It was eventually decided that this person was most closely related to the Ainu ethnicity in Japan, and must represent a previously-unknown migration across the Bering Strait. At this point, local Native American tribes, upset at the thought that they weren't really the first population in America, put up a fuss, and won the right to take possession of Kennewick Man and bury him. (Laws in the US protect Native American graves from being disturbed, and by a strict reading of the law Kennewick Man would be considered Native remains because he pre-dates white settlement of the area, even tho he's demonstrably not related to any Native tribe.)

Also, I remember hearing of a skeleton found somewhere in South America that appeared to be an Australian aborigene, and was similarly ancient (like 10-12,000 years old).
Clearly the history of migration into the Americas is much older and much more complicated than we used to think, but mainstream scholars mostly have their heads in the sand about it.

Whoa, didn't realize this thread was started ages ago when I found it today; however, I have a few stories people might remember - or not -- that still have a lot of mystery surrounding them:

(By the way, one poster talked about the discovery of another planet in our solar system, maybe they meant Sedna, discovered in 2004?)

A story about how "friendly fire" (a US missile) most likely took down TWA Flight 800 ; a reporter covering it outlines the intimidation, threats, and thefts of evidence she uncovered --- like a seat cushion from the plane someone had smuggled out to her from the crash site that was proven to have chemicals on it from a missile deployment, not an "equipment malfunction" -- she writes about it in an excellent book of journalists talking about contoversial stories that got them in trouble when they tried to write about them:

Into the Buzzsaw

There's more. The Navy eventually admitted that one of its vessels was engaged in target practice, firing missiles at unmanned aircraft, in an area close to where TWA 800 went down. But they swore, cross their heart & hope to die, that this had nothing to do with the plane crash. MSM totally ignored this development, even tho after learning this, anybody who isn't profoundly retarded could figure out that what probably happened was the missile locked on to the wrong target, and US Navy accidentally shot down a civilian aircraft.

It wouldn't even be the first time something like that happened. In the 1980's, the USS Vincennes accidentally shot down an Iranian passenger jet. As you might imagine, this didn't help US/Iran relations.

If ever there were a job for the UK's Freedom of Information Act, your post describes it to a tee.

Do you know how to file an FOIA request? If not, there are guides available online, or I can talk you through it (disclosure: have special training in using UK/US FOI legislation, although I'm not infallible by a long chalk).

Hi Aud,
Sorry for the delay replying!

I do know how to file FOIA requests, but I don't have any other info other than that posted, (no dates, specific locations etc) so I'm not sure that it would get very far unfortunately.

I'd love to know more abut the suspicious pre-9/11 stock trades. Right after 9/11, there were reports that a number of people had short-sold American & United Airlines' stock, and made a ton of money. You heard about this for a few days, then never again.

I remember that reports of Osama bin Laden's death surfaced a few years after 9/11. It was supposedly from natural causes, some kind of long-term health issue he had. I recall some government official expressing skepticism, but I don't remember ever hearing anyone say the report was false. As usual, the MSM had no interest in following up the report.

Someone far upthread asked if there is a video of bin Laden being buried at sea. No, not that anyone has ever seen, and really there is little evidence that the US ever found him. I remember that the story of how the Seal team killed him seemed to change every time it was told. The first version had him pulling a gun on the Seals, then he tried to use his wife as a hostage, then he just stuck his head out of a door and was immediately shot. There was a stealth helicopter (?) involved, and it may or may not have suffered a crash landing inside the compound.

They totally couldn't keep the story straight. Then Seal Team 6 died in that suspicious helicopter crash, and the media stopped talking about it. I don't have time to look for it now, but one of the websites devoted to false-flag attacks made a pretty good argument that the picture we were shown of bin Laden with a bullet in his head was just a Photoshopped version of an earlier picture of some random jihadist, altered to make it look like bin Laden.

You are confusing a couple things Andy. There was a secret stealth heli crash at the compound, but didn't kill everyone inside. They blew it up before leaving but tail stayed intact, there are photos of it online.

The heli crash that killed seal team 6 on board was post Zero Dark Thirty and other media release. I think it was most likely just to convince terrorists that the guys that killed Bin Laden they were dead to save retribution on them and their families. I could be wrong though about my theory.

Definitely two different instances though.

Nice

My understanding is that several mideastern newspapers reported OBL's death as November or December 2001. I'm pretty sure that Benazir Bhutto commented on his death shortly before her own assassination.

From your original post: Gordi The Drummer (embedded link) - You've got a rough time-period (1984-85), a location (near Glasgow, and in Radio Clyde's catchment area), mention of a "search and rescue operation", "an RAF Nimrod plane, and coast guard helicopters".

In your shoes, I'd FOIA the local coastguards and the RAF for details of search and rescue operations carried out in the sea surrounding that area (the RAF planes in particular must have come from a local base, which narrows it down even further), where such operations took place in calendar years 1984 and 1985.

There won't have been many such operations carried out in such tightly-defined circumstances, and once you've got the whole lot listed in front of you, you will be easily able to spot the one that you remember and perhaps explore further if it provides any leads.

Just my two-penn'orth.

New member here. Holy crap what a great thread and now I have to file up on as many as these as I can find info on. Thank you

Don't forget the caveman on Mars!

This was a real news story that now seems to have disappeared from the internet, except for this video:

www.youtube.com...

The strange thing about this is that it looks a lot like an australian aborigine and there is an australian moon conspiracy theorist that says the mars missions are actually filmed in the australian outback. Hmmm.............

Discovery of The Valley of The Queens.

In the late 1980's, early 1990's, I remember a VERY excited radio news reader breaking into a song to announce that Egyptologists had discovered a "Valley of The Queens" which made the "Valley of The Kings" look like it should have been on the pauper's list when comparing treasure they found. It was to be discussed on the next news broadcast.

Never heard of it again, but will always remember this.

Would also like to hear about the Pentagon audit that was announced Sept 10 / 2001, then conveniently forgotten about on the morning of Sept 11th.

They were starting to say there was more than $2 trillion unaccounted for in the Pentagon budget over the last 10 years or so.

Also surrounding 9/11, media announced that there was supposed to be massive amounts of silver and gold at Ground Zero, because there was a massive secure vault in the basement of the twin towers (which had been well documented). None was ever found at the crater site.

Do you think that the US might be testing nuclear weapons on the moon, now that it is illegal to test them on Earth?

I dont know about the moon but the US was testing nuclear weapons in space years ago. There is a documentary about it. I would not be surprised if they still were. There are some really good documentaries out there about the US use of nuclear weapons in testing. A bunch were set off underground in NMexico.

Nukes In Space: Rainbow Bombs

Given the size of today's nuclear weapons, it would be pretty hard to detonate one is space and not have it seen over a large part of the planet.
