Mirage Men: UFO researcher Mark Pilkington on deception and psychological warfare

Mirage Men: UFO researcher Mark Pilkington on deception and psychological warfare:

"Mark Pilkington's new book Mirage Men is a dizzying ride through a world of deception, manipulation and psychological warfare by intelligence agencies. Working in the field of UFO phenomena, the Mirage Men sow elaborate patterns of disinformation.

Whether you think that UFOs are probably just satellites or shooting stars, or if you think the aliens have already landed, then your beliefs were probably planted by them. As Pilkington discovered, they can be subtle enough to deceive whole populations, or intense enough to literally drive their targets insane.

Looking for a guide through this maze of mirrors I met the author, UFO researcher, and sometime maker of crop circles in a pub off Tottenham Court Road. But could I trust a man who has himself been 'outed' as an agent of MI5?"

. . .

W: What do you make of the recent UFO sightings over Iran? (The Iranian authorities even claim to have shot one down last year). The unidentified objects are described as glowing or having lights on them, do this rule out secret US spy drones?

MP: There was a UFO wave over Iran in 2004 when I first began researching Mirage Men -- many of them, not surprisingly, seen over their burgeoning nuclear facilities. The Iranian Air Force announced that they'd be having a UFO conference to investigate the sightings, but I never heard any more about that. It's interesting to see how in Iran, just as in the UK or the US, initial reports of lights in the sky will quite quickly transform into more dramatic stories -- the second wave of sightings in 2004 involved strange robot creatures with claw arms hovering in the skies. This kind of escalation is a natural part of the folkloric narrative process, though it's also possible that these stories were faked by witnesses or journalists to sell newspapers, or were even planted by Iran's enemies to stir up unease.
Bright lights don't necessarily rule out spy planes or drones, maybe they were there to distract attention from another covert operation. Or perhaps the purpose was to generate unease and fear amongst the population with the eventual goal of destabilising the regime. The US planned to fly "ghost planes" over Libya in 1986 for similar reasons, though the project was never carried out.

Anti-CAIR Protest Video

Update to this:

James Spencer explains what the demonstration against CAIR/Hamas is about and why they are there. Interesting security guard action at 1:40. Did CAIR/Hamas ask for this treatment of their guests or are they going to voice an objection?

Revelations from Kent State audio tape prompt congressional inquiry

There is nothing new under the sun department:
Revelations from Kent State audio tape prompt congressional inquiry | cleveland.com:

"CLEVELAND, Ohio — U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich is launching a congressional inquiry into an altercation and apparent pistol fire that occurred about 70 seconds before Ohio National Guardsmen shot students and antiwar protesters on May 4, 1970.

The violent clash and four shots from a .38-caliber revolver were captured by a student's tape recorder, placed in a dormitory window. The sounds of the altercation recently were discovered by Stuart Allen, a forensic audio expert who analyzed the 40-year-old tape at The Plain Dealer's request. The newspaper reported Allen's findings Friday.

Kucinich, who chairs a House sub-committee with oversight of the FBI and Justice Department, said the paper's account prompted his inquiry."

The above article was written as if this is the first time the tape has been examined. Far from the truth. I recall news specials about this in the 1970s that included audio analysis and a new one seems to crop-up every ten years or so. This article actually mentions prior analysis and includes the audio, embedded several paragraphs down. It mentions that a copy was found in a library archive in 2007 and the tape was "long forgotten."

Allow me to bring you a few steps away from the romantic fantasy of the Kent State riots and how old evidence is made new. That's right, I said old evidence. The Terry Strubbe tape, as it should be called, was used in a film that was in evidence during the 1975 civil trials (abstract) brought by the victims and reported by the New York Times on 3 August 1975.

The Pittsburgh Post Gazette reported on 21 December 1973, that the Terry Strubbe tape was used in a grand jury trial then.

The Akron Beacon Journal, reported on 8 March 2001, almost the same account as is reported as "new" now (abstract):

KENT STATE TRAGEDY ECHOES ON AUDIOTAPE \ FORMER STUDENT GOES PUBLIC WITH 1970 RECORDING THAT CAPTURES DEADLY GUNFIRE IN CAMPUS PROTEST.
You hear the first alone and clearly, then quickly several more gunshots - pop, poppoppoppop - one blast atop another. A roar from the crowd kills the sound. The brief silence is broken by an unknown young man's anguished obscenity. Sirens wail, then fade. Three decades after the May 4, 1970, shootings at Kent State University, the crackling sounds on tape are a record of a tragedy that was one of the defining moments in the political legacy of Gov....

Well before 2001 there were reports shots fired, recorded on the tape, before the National Guard opened fire. The new analysis, of the same old tape, indicates a .38 caliber pistol made the sounds.

How can a tape be "long forgotten" between 2001 and 2007? The same tape that was trotted out in 1970, 1973, 1975 and 2001. I really wish that I could remember the news specials and documentaries that the tape was used in throughout the 1970s, '80s and after. Just remembering that this tape is not a new discovery helped me find the print articles above. Anybody working for the old major networks who sees this may have access to more specific research tools than Google to help uncover the never-ending analysis of this tape.

Change the Sports Mascots? I am here with the solution!

Yesterday, the Grandy Bunch, on WMAL-AM Washington, DC, were discussing this proposed law that will affect public schools in Wisconsin. I called in and actually got on air with them. Fred Grandy (R-IA, ret.) told the story of the Sioux City Sioux minor league baseball team leaving the league, then returning and the Sioux Nation not liking that name, so they were called "The Sioux City Explorers" because the Lewis and Clark Expedition went through the area. Good enough for my brainstorm: re-name Indian named teams for European explorers! If there is a team, say the Black Hawks, for argument sake, they can become the Conquistadors. Another team can be the Colombians (after Christopher, of course), DeSoto certainly cannot be left out in the Great Lakes area, and so on.

KEWAUNEE, Wis. — The homecoming pep rally Friday at Kewaunee High School will have extra drama this year: Everyone in town will learn whether they'll be rooting for the River Bandits or the Storm to beat the Valders Vikings in the big football game.

The selection of a new nickname is the culmination of a sometimes painful few months in this town of 2,745. Under a new state law meant to eliminate race-based nicknames, logos and mascots, a complaint prompted the Kewaunee School District to drop the "Indians" name that had been in use here since 1936.

"This has been a tough time," says Sandi Christman, who chaired a committee that got the whole community involved in the selection of a new name and mascot. "It's like losing a friend."
