Are you ready for the TORNADO TRUTHERS?

Why Did Obama Make Those Tornadoes? Ask the Tornado Truthers!

If our planet's increasingly extreme weather isn't caused by man-made climate change, then it stands to reason that it's actually caused by man-made supervillains using government technology to take American Freedoms with superstorms like Monday's mile-wide monster tornadoes.

If that makes no sense at all, it's because the Powers That Be don't want you know the real truth about Hurricane Katrina, Superstorm Sandy and this week's devastating twisters that mowed down entire towns in Oklahoma.

The Tornado Truthers know these shocking weather events have nothing to do with the weather extremes climate scientists have long predicted for a planet rapidly heating from our civilization's burning of fossil fuels and global industrial production of farting meat animals. Monster storms are caused by Barack Obama and his predecessors in the White House/New World Order, using powerful storm-making technology like the massive HAARP antenna farm in Alaska.

Hello guys. I have some startling information that has not been on reported on yet. I grew up in Moore, then moved away to Kansas City a few years ago after I graduated highschool. I have many friends who live in Moore still and have been in constanct contact with them all day today. What they are telling me is extremely startling, mind boggling, and inconceivable….they are all fine and they say there are no fatalaties or injuries! I am going to list the different bits of information I have received below that prove that this is 100% a false flag attack.

They said that all the earthquake in oklohoma lately are a result of massive underground contruction. they were talking about how the Jewish race wishes to expand rapidly and that they are building massive Jewish settlements and Palestinian slave labor camps under Oklohoma…the reason… supposedly ak-la ham aer, which sound like oklohoma, means “Jews are the best, screw the rest” in hebrew.

Alex Jones pushes tornado truther theory: ‘There’s weather weapon stuff going on’

May 22, 2013

...Jones, a longtime proponent of the idea that the U.S. government can manipulate and even produce weather systems like tornadoes and hurricanes, went on to say that if people saw helicopters or small aircraft in the area, then “you better bet your bottom dollar they did this... ... ...”

Jones is also credited for pushing a bizarre and thoroughly debunked theory that President Barack Obama trying to buy up all the bullets in the country, both to enforce gun control and to prepare for the murder hundreds of thousands of American citizens amid what he believes is a planned period of civil unrest. Republicans in the House actually held a hearing about this matter, much to the disappointment of their Democratic counterparts. Of course, for years Jones has been telling his listeners that the government, particularly the Federal Emergency Management Agency, has Nazi-style death camps set up all around the country, although no evidence of this has ever surfaced.


Jones is being increasingly treated as a serious voice within the Republican Party, and lawmakers in statehouses across the country and in Congress are beginning to parrot his views, however bizarre they might sound. Even Fox News hosts and Republican freshman Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has appeared on the Alex Jones Show, much like his father, Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX), continues to do.


http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/05/22/alex-jones-pushes-tornado-truther-theory-theres-weather-weapon-stuff-going-on/

Perhaps you and I cannot make this stuff up, but somebody is, and it pays very well, too.

And the shapeshifting white guy?

That would be Jones himself...

it's very clear as to what our next step is in the fight against the new world order and these drones that they are going to use to violate our 4th amendments with. it's time we created our own anti drone task force patrol . seeing how we did not give our state or city governments permission to purchase or implement any programs involving the use of drones. i say it.s time to start loading your shells with bird shot loads!!!! wake up people they just declared war on your privacy!!!


But the privacy of women doesn't count, as Jones supports transvaginal ultrasounds, etc. He's a libertarian with liberty for those who want a theocratic, ruled by the gun, tribal society. This is moving forward in some parts of the country, fueled by the RWNJs, Koches, Birchers, and some 'leftists' as well.

There are some who are convinced the article is left/rightwing propaganda (false flag) to provide cover for the Zionists (Jews). It really is no surprise to me when I read that anti-Semitism is on the rise (there is an article in LBN and I posted one in the Jewish group). What is sad is how commonplace it has become and how willing people are to defend/excuse it when their personal "heroes" promote it (Thomas, Stone).

Wed May 22, 2013, 05:05 PM
May 2013

It's in some Zeitgeist and truther stuff. There is a Jewish proverb, 'The truth wrapped up in a lie, is still a lie.'

I don't believe these folks were brought up to be anti-semitic, but after a while they can't separate religion, ethnicity, global events and propaganda, some of them. They are anxious and looking for their way to survive changes, but will be taken advantage of, since they are still buying a fantasy.

Others who are unable to face the future, while away their time with video games, the internet or return to the religion of their childhood. They long to escape the unbearable things they have been told, in grief over what is gone, in fear of what is to come. It's really just a moment in time, as they are all are, eventually. They have lost 'the gift of the present.'

But they are doing one good, creating community, but it's a damn ugly one and likely to give them exactly what they are focusing on and fear the most. You create whatever you give your attention. They aren't going away, either.

And there is a part of the left that has gone around the corner and met the right, and think they have found a new truth. Another part wants to rebel, and they see all those that have power as the evil ones, and all that don't as holy.

That is unfortunately not always the case, although being for the underdog was an American value at one time, part of our populist roots. It's been twisted into something else, though.

Sarah Palin Sculpture To Roast A Pig At Bridgeport Arts Complex


CHICAGO (CBS) — Democratic politics are responsible for the colorful history of the Bridgeport neighborhood, but on Friday afternoon, a prominent Republican politician will be in the spotlight.

Visitors on Friday to the Bridgeport Art Center, 1200 W. 35th St., will be greeted by a giant metal sculpture of Sarah Palin’s head, and the wide open mouth on the sculpture isn’t just intended to suggest Palin’s expression at her most indignant.

The sculpture, called “We’re Havin’ a Tea Pear-ody,” doubles as a working stove, and at 5 p.m. Friday, it will cook a whole suckling pig, which will be roasted right in the mouth. The smoke from the roasting process will billow from the sculpture’s head, which is adorned with hair ratted up in a high bun just like the real Palin...

The artist, J. Taylor Wallace of the Ukrainian Village neighborhood, unveiled his Palin sculpture last year at the National Ornamental Museum in Memphis. The sculpture also cooked a pear-stuffed suckling pig for that occasion.

It is one of my favorites!

I have been studying modern incarnations of anti-Semitism, which mostly revolve around Israel, and it is true what you say, if it weren't for Jews they'd have to make it up! If you are interested, there is a really interesting, but very long, piece about anti-Semitism (or as the author calls it "Judeophobia). http://www.zionism-israel.com/his/judeophobia.htm

I don't agree with some of his conclusions (or I didn't then, it has been awhile since I read the piece). I also didn't read the other links at the bottom of page one because I was reading the main piece, so I can't speak to those parts. I probably should read them.

Though, if I may be allowed: a very slight nitpick here: technically, at least in most cases, individual events, such as tornado outbreaks, heat or cold waves, floods, hurricanes(yes, Sandy included) actually cannot be necessarily linked to climate change in and of themselves. Other than that, good article.

And as for HAARP, it may be indeed a real device, but there is a LOT of cock and bull surrounding it as well; no, it can't spin up tornadoes, steer hurricanes, or control people's minds as some wackos have claimed. However, though, I can say that the beliefs that HAARP is totally harmless aren't really true, either.....

There would still be tornadoes without a warmer climate; the fact that the variance of the distribution is increased means we can never really say for certain this as opposed to that tornado was "caused by" climate change.

to say that tornadoes are not influenced or effected by weather conditions which are effected by climate change is wrong.

yes, precisely how they are effected isn't proven, but to argue that tornadoes aren't affected by climate change means that climate change is not linked to weather --which is patently ridiculous.

"Truthers" about topics that are otherwise explained with facts and logic (science!), but these people can't comprehend the facts; or refuse to because it goes against the bible, so they don't "believe". The use of the word truther to describe these people is incredibly ironic.

Case in point:

Bill Nye gave a speech at a college in Waco TX this past weekend. At one point, he explained to the audience that the moon does not generate its own light, it is merely reflecting light from the sun. This goes against a verse in Genesis (oh the horror!), which many in the audience found blasphemous. They booed him, and even got up and left the room.
