(WARNING: The link contains gifs of the video of the Christchurch mosque shooting.)


How we know New Zealand mosque shooting video is a CGI fake

[....]

(1) WHEN SHOT, PEOPLE DON’T JUST FALL LIKE INERT SACKS OF POTATOES
In an audio interview and on James Fetzer’s blog, Dr. Scott Bennett, former U.S. Army psychological operations officer and State Department counterterrorism contractor, points out that in a real shooting with real bullets, especially when civilians are shot, they would be in a state of hysterical, emotional shock. Panic-stricken, their bodies flooded with adrenalin, they would violently flail, run or crawl away. They do not simply fold up and fall to the ground like sacks of potatoes.

In the mosque shooter’s live-streamed video, however, the victims immediately fall to the floor, face down (faces are more of a CGI challenge). Once fallen to the floor, the victims stay still, with nary a moan nor twitch.

It stretches our credulity to think that the mosque shooter is such an expert marksman that every shot he fired was a kill shot. The fact is that in real life, bullets can bounce, ricochet, and miss the target.

Writing in “What really happens when you get shot,” Wired, Dec. 8, 2015, Connor Narciso, a former Army Green Beret who served in Wardak Province, Afghanistan, with 3rd Special Forces Group, explains:

As a combat medic in Afghanistan, I treated a variety of gunshot wounds. And as the husband of an emergency room provider at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, gun violence has remained—at least peripherally—a significant part of my life….

[E]ven multiple gunshots to the torso won’t guarantee death, or even incapacitation. Arun Nair is an attending physician in the ER at Johns Hopkins, and an International Health Fellow. “Bullets are magic,” Nair tells his students. He recounts the story of a young man in Lebanon who survived after being shot six times.1 He took repeated shots to the chest and throat. One of the six bullets stopped inside his pericardium, the narrow space between the heart and its thin protective membrane. Another bullet ended up in the victim’s esophagus; he swallowed it. Amazingly, the patient was alert and speaking lucidly to the doctors. You can’t assume anything, says Nair.

(2) SHELL CASINGS DON’T VANISH INTO THIN AIR
At the 8:56 mark in the video, the gunman is outside the mosque’s front gate and begins shooting down the street, for no apparent reason. At the 9:06 mark, the gunman turns around and shoots down the street in the other direction.

Curiously, the video shows shell casings being ejected from the semi-automatic, but the casings then disappear into thin air. No shell casings are on the ground because this footage was actually taken not on the street but before a “green screen”, which explains why we see shell casings being ejected but no casing actually falls to the ground.



(3) BULLETS LEAVE NO MARKS WHEN THEY HIT THE VICTIMS
After shooting up and down the street, ejecting shell casings that vanish into thin air, the gunman returns to his car and exchanges rifles, tossing the one he had used to the ground next to his car, which later also vanishes. He then inexplicably returns to the “crime scene” to shoot again and again at the crumpled bodies in the mosque. Strangely, the “bullets” leave no marks on the victims’ clothes or bodies. Upon impact, we see only puffs of air on the victim’s clothes, which suggests the gun was a toy gun that blasts air instead of solid projectiles.



Yesterday, in an email to James Fetzer, Gordon Duff, senior editor of Veterans Today who is, like Fetzer, a U.S. Marines veteran, wrote:

“I generally recognize any part or accessory available worldwide for this type of weapon the common sellers, palmetto state armory, delta team tactical, classic firearms…and nobody has part for real guns that look like the things in the video. mike and i have built thousands of custom AR weapons in every size and caliber this stuff is crap…..and quite possibly toys….What we have in NZ appears to be (real or fake) video of fake guns.”

Indeed, in a comment, Kevin J. Lankford, a reader of FOTM, observed that the shooter’s guns “looked like nothing I could identify,” and that the reason why the guns are painted with white symbols all over is precisely “to disguise the fact they are fake.”



(4) BULLETS FIRED AT WINDSHIELD LEAVE NO HOLES OR SHATTERED GLASS
After the gunman finally leaves the mosque, he gets back into his car. While driving away, he shoots at the car’s windshield three times. Strangely, the bullets leave no marks on the windshield — no bullet holes, no smashed glass — as you can see in the GIF below and the pic of his arrest by police.



To conclude, the shooter’s livestream video was made with a live man shooting guns, at least one of which is a toy air gun, before a “green screen”. The “green screen” is then filled in with CGI images of the mosque and victims being shot; of the street outside the mosque where the gunman fired shots, ejecting shell casings that vanished into thin air; and of his car, wherein the gunman shot at the car’s windshield, leaving no bullet holes or shattered glass.

All in all, the video was poorly and sloppily made. Wellington should have hired Sir Peter Jackson’s Weta Workshop instead to do the job.

The above account, though suitably simplified, is beyond dispute; physics has tried and failed to preserve determinism for ninety years. The situation has not improved since Einstein’s famous protest, “God does not play dice with the universe.” Unable to remove indeterminacy altogether, physics had to settle for burying it safely in the microcosm: random quantum behavior adds up in the aggregate to approximate the determinate, causal behavior of the human world, in which, as before, nothing happens without some force being responsible.

Why does one photon go here and one go there, if not compelled by some force? Well, why do you do one thing rather than another, if not compelled by some force? You choose, so the obvious intuitive answer is that the photon chooses its course. Physics, of course, cannot countenance such an answer, so far outside the scope of scientific thought it is as to be beyond laughable. Physics—and remember, physics lies at the foundation of our Story of the World, of what is real, what is practical, how things work—says instead that the behavior is “random,” preserving, at the price of acausality, a universe of unconscious, generic building blocks. For indeed, to ascribe choice to something as humble as a photon or an electron would be to acknowledge our universe as intelligent through and through. No longer would the universe be just a bunch of stuff; no longer would we so cavalierly arrogate to ourselves the role of its lords and masters. The core project of our Story of the People would be shaken to its foundation.

Let us pause to note that most people who have ever lived on Earth would have no trouble believing that the universe is intelligent through and through. Premodern people, animists or panentheists, ascribed sentience to all beings, not only plants and animals but even rocks and clouds. Young children in our own society tend to do the same. We call it personification or projection, and think that we know better than children and animists that, actually, the universe is mostly a dead, insensate place.

Maybe you don’t want your accessing of expanded creative power to depend on accepting the proposal that even electrons bear sentience. Okay, fine—I won’t insist. Here at least is a place where force is not the cause of behavior. Moreover, modern physics offers a second, perhaps even more severe, challenge to the Story of Separation: the breakdown of the basic self/other distinction.

We are accustomed to a universe in which existence occurs against a backdrop of an objective Cartesian coordinate system of space and time. If something exists, it occupies a point X, Y, Z, at time T, and this existence is independent of you, me, or any other being in the universe. Even if we know about the quantum measurement paradox or entanglement, the assumption of objectivity is woven so deeply into our perceptions that to deny it is laughable. Say you go to bed before the election results come in. You wake up the next morning. Who won? You may not know yet, but you wouldn’t deny that it has already been decided, that there is a fact of the matter that exists independently of your knowledge. Or say that you are investigating a traffic accident. Each party to the accident has a different version of what happened. Would you deny that there is a reality, independent of their stories, consisting of what “actually happened”?

I would not indulge in these ontological musings at all, if it were not for the fact (the fact!) that the old, inaccurate Story of Being, the separate self marooned in an external objective universe, is a recipe for impotence and despair. Separate from the world, nothing we do can matter very much. In the vast, uncoordinated melee of separate selves and impersonal forces that compose the universe, our ability to change the course of events depends on the amount of force we can muster (or inspire, if only others would listen. And being separate from us, their choices are beyond our control—unless we make them listen. Back we are again to force). In particular, this story devalues most of the small, personal acts of service that we experience, on the feeling level, as important and that characterize the kind of world we would like to live in.

Similarly, readers who are knowledgeable about alternative scientific paradigms and technologies may be feeling impatient with my skepticism of the idea that these will save humanity. Although I have firsthand experience with several technologies that conventional science calls impossible, I will not promote them in this book. The reason is, again, if these are to save us, then why haven’t they already? Many have been known and suppressed for decades. I have read the literature alleging that this suppression is conscious and systematic; I think it is mostly, rather, unconscious and systemic. Through a thousand mechanisms, we have suppressed them because they do not fit into our mythology and identity. Equivalently, one might say, we were not ready for them. We were not ready for technologies that were distributed rather than centralized, that released control from the experts to the people, and that necessitated seeing the interconnectedness of all things. Symptomatic of our unreadiness is inventors’ rush to patent each new miracle device, attempting to contain something of the new story within the structures of the old. Perhaps these technologies of abundance—of energy, health, time, and life—will leave the margins and take hold only when we, collectively, exemplify abundance ourselves through generosity, service, surrender, and trust.

We are on the brink of a wholesale metamorphosis. We will never embrace the technologies of interbeing from the mentality of Separation. These technologies are not a magic bullet, though I do think, in the end, they will indeed be part of our healing. But a shift in our perceptions, in our worldview, comes first. At the present juncture, the primary importance of the technologies of interbeing isn’t in what they can do. It is that they puncture the reality bubble in which we have lived, showing us that neither we nor the world is what we thought. Their significance is the same as that of any paradigm-busting phenomenon.

Now it is easy to believe, when surveying the widespread denial of climate science in my country, that the problem is unscientific attitudes. If only we would listen to the scientists! Unfortunately, the same exhortation is also deployed in the context of genetic engineering of crops, nuclear power, and other questionable technologies that I hesitate to mention lest I too be tarred with the very wide brush of “antiscience.” While the two examples above don’t enjoy anything like the unanimity that anthropogenic climate change does, advocates like Michael Specter do not hesitate to brand opponents as unscientific. All the more unscientific would they consider my beliefs about holistic medicine, qigong, biodynamic agriculture, water memory, biological nuclear chemistry, crop circles, psi phenomena, over-unity devices, radioactive waste remediation, and Santa Claus. There, I’ve let the cat out of the bag.

Obama’s biggest scandal is now unfolding. He was well aware of Hillary’s illegal server and colluded with her in an attempt destroy her popular Republican presidential opponent. What Obama did is far, far worse than the stunt pulled by Nixon, who was forced to leave office due to the Watergate Scandal. Barack Obama most likely authorized American security agencies to spy on the Trump campaign back in 2016 based on nothing other than the fact that he had available power to abuse.

Yes, he could and so he did.

Hillary needed an ‘insurance policy’ in case she lost her presidential bid—an unlikely event in her mind since she thought she had everything carefully rigged. The ‘Russia collusion’ hoax was that insurance policy, so Obama initiated the spying to occur in order to dig up dirt.

Of course, the Deep State propaganda arm, the main stream media, are now claiming Obama did it out of the goodness of his heart. They’ll tell you it wasn’t spying, but it rather was an attempt to keep Russia from interfering with Trump. They therefore wiretapped Trump and his people out of the kindness of their helpful, partisan hearts.

They were doing Trump a favor and he should be thanking them!

That’s how desperate and ridiculous they’ve become, but Deep State-owned media will continue to protect Hillary and Obama no matter what.

Hillary, Obama and their seditious crew must be held accountable. LOCK THEM UP!

Quote# 143337

Monsters Are Real

Read what former U.S. President George W. Bush (who has a special place in the deepest Hell along with his father who is already there) said to the press during the criminal Iraqi War...

“You have to keep repeating things to catapult the propaganda.” (SOURCE: Shameful U.S. President George W. Bush during the illegal Iraqi War)

Mr. Bush is a devil! Knowing fully that the entire Iraqi War (which claimed the lives of 1,455,590 innocent Iraqis) was based upon the BIG LIE that Iraq possessed Weapons of Mass Destruction (which were never found), and knowing that several thousand U.S. soldiers lost their lives in the Iraqi War, Bush joked at an extravagant White House dinner party (article), showing his lack of morals, decency and sincerity; but moreover, it reveals the monstrous cold-hearted (MP3 of Bush joking), calloused, murderous agenda of these evil people!

Because of our love for sin in America today (and that includes wicked territories like Guam where sin abounds), people have woefully lost their moral convictions, hatred for sin, and prejudice against evildoers. Matthew 24:12, “And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.” It is not hard to figure out why millions of Americans are now homeless on the streets of every major city. Things are getting really bad economically, and I assure you the worst is yet to come. You can thank the criminal Federal Reserve Banking Act since 1913 (aka, Fractional Reserve Banking), which was intended from the very start to bankrupt Americans! The Federal Reserve System works exactly like the popular child's game “Musical Chairs,” in which it is known from the very beginning of the game that someone won't have a chair at the end! You can be assured that the Banksters won't be the one without a chair, but you may not!

Millions of Americans are now homeless on the streets of every major city. Most people like to blame the homeless people themselves, because a lot of them are indeed on illegal drugs or mentally ill. What real help is being offered to them? That's right, virtually nothing! The governor of Hawaii has declared a state of emergency due to the massive homelessness problem there. In short, greed is to blame! Rich people like their money. Did you know that 40% of all the wealth in America is owned by the top 1% of company executives?! It is true! Please don't misunderstand, I am not a Communist. I don't believe in the unbiblical Robinhood philosophy of taking from the haves to give to the have nots! Albeit, I also am not blind. According to the 2018 Giving USA report, Americans gave $410 BILLION to charity. Statistics show that Americans give another $50 BILLION to churches each year.

A disturbing 2012 article in the Huffington Post revealed that just taking the $20 BILLION which Americans spend annually on Christmas decorations could end homelessness! But the problem goes much deeper than just swapping our Christmas decorations to give the money to the poor. They need decent jobs to remedy the problem! The reason why there is a job shortage is because our ungodly government leaders have betrayed the people, allowing Anti-American Globalists to eliminate tens of millions of U.S. jobs, to relocate them to foreign countries to exploit cheap labor and escape dozens of U.S. workplace regulatory agencies. The remaining jobs in the U.S. pay so little that people cannot even afford to pay their monthly rent. The number one reason for homelessness is the staggering high cost of housing. That is why San Francisco has an epidemic homeless problem, with people defecating everywhere in public.

Heroin Tent Cities Are Popping Up All Across America; Los Angeles Now has 44,000 Homeless!

It is not the government's job to provide for its people, but IT IS the government's job to protect the people. The Federal Reserve Act since 1913 has destroyed the American people! Basically, you own what the banks allow you to own! They can easily do that by increasing or withholding the amount of money they print, which affects interest rates. Professor G. Edward Griffin wisely said that if you didn't get anything else out of his 2-hour presentation against the Federal Reserve, remember that “Inflation is a tax!” INFLATION IS A TAX!!! Ridiculously high rental apartment costs is INFLATION! Ladies and gentlemen, you are being TAXED by the filthy rich through the manipulation of interest rates, but the average American is so ignorant of how our economy works that they don't realize they are a VICTIM! In case you still haven't figured it out, the ungodly people behind the Federal Reserve Banking System are MONSTERS!!!

Now, I know that [Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez]’s worried about climate change, but she need to talk to Mother Nature. Because with the Earth rotating at 1,000 miles per hour, OK, 365 days of the year, we subject to feel climate changing a little bit. But not to the tune where we have to dismantle everything and start the Earth back over again. It’s a absolutely no for us.

According to the NY Post, the Flat Earthers are planning to sail to Antarctica to find the frozen barrier they believe marks the edge of our world. According to Flat Earth doctrine, the supposed “ice wall” is said to be a couple thousand feet thick, towers 164 feet high and surrounds the entire planet.

The expedition, which is planned for next year is being organized by the Flat Earth International Conference (FEIC).

While details of the trip remain very secretive, FEIC founder Robbie Davidson told Forbes, “If you take a globe and you squish it down, the Antarctic would go all the way around the Earth. It’s kind of like an ice shore, and it’s very, very large. It’s not like you just go there and you can just peek over it. We don’t believe anything can fall off the edge, because a big portion of the flat earth community believes that we’re in a dome, like a snow globe. So the sun, moon, and stars are all inside. It’s very high but all contained inside. So there’s no way to actually fall off of the earth.”

...The Flat Earth Society suggests that “the space agencies of the world” conspired to fake “space travel” to hide the Earth’s “biggest secret.” This likely began during the Cold War,” the Flat Earth Society says. “The USSR and USA were obsessed with beating each other into space to the point that each faked their accomplishments in an attempt to keep pace.”

Quote# 143155

If you research the truth about the New World Order, then you'll understand that gun confiscation is vital to the sinister plans of the Luciferian elite. A good crash course on the NWO are two things. The first is a helpful book by Commander William Guy Carr (1895-1959) called, “PAWNS IN THE GAME” (here's the complete .PDF book). Another helpful resource is Alex Jones' awesome 2:19 hour eye-opening video, “ENDGAME!” I hear woefully naive youth today saying that banning guns is a good idea, but they have never seen their loved ones tortured and murdered by communists; such as, the 1,700,000 beautiful Cambodians butchered under Pol Pot. ...

When a country has The Right to Bear Arms, They are Citizens; When a nation is disarmed they become subjects.

Few Americans today understand the gravity of the situation, especially young people. The Globalists are extremely evil people, who will kill, steal and destroy whatever they must, in order to obtain their New World Order! If the Devil's gang don't get their way, you can definitely expect to see bus bombings and other horrifying terrorist attacks, to frighten the American people into submission. The 9/11 World Trade Center Attacks were plotted and orchestrated by the Luciferian elite, clearly evidenced by their boasting at the 911 Ground Zero Memorial. Those same ungodly reprobates, criminals of criminals, have placed their Masonic occult symbols on every U.S. one-dollar bill since 1935.

Freemasonry is of the Devil, a Satanic cult! Wicked Freemasons control America, evidenced by their symbol, an giant erect phallus, aka, The Washington Monument in Washington DC. By the way (and you couldn't make this stuff up), The Washington Monument is 666 feet tall, and 666 inches wide, and is the same exact ratio as Nebuchadnezzar's golden image in Daniel. This evidences that the Satanic conspiracy for a New World Order has been in existence for millenniums. I believe this is what the Scriptures refer to as “For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way” (2nd Thessalonians 2:7). As believers, we do not fret nor fear; but rather, we are as wise as serpents and the Holy Bible says, not being ignorant of the Devil's methods and devices. Satan is the god of this evil world (2nd Corinthians 4:3-4). So rejoice, Oh Christian, for we are more than conquerors through Jesus Christ our Lord!

This is all about the forming satanic New World Order. Thankfully, the wicked may be winning now in the short term, but the battle is the Lords! The Devil and the world are already losers! Our duty as believers is to fear God and keep His commandments. The Globalists behind the subversion of the United States are going to relentlessly continue trying to disarm Americans. There will be more false flag terror attacks! Ephesians 6:12-13 says that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but “against the rulers of the darkness of this world”! Please read my article, “Lies, Lies, And More Lies!”

Again, Sandy Hook was just another False Flag Terror Attack intended to take away guns and disarm Americans! Some historians believe that Roman Emperor, Nero, deliberately set fire to Rome in 64 AD to demonize and blame Christians, to persecute and kill them! Likewise, some historians claim that Adolf Hitler in 1933 ordered fire set to the Reichstag, the German parliament, to blame and go after the communists. False flag terror attacks are nothing new. The Oklahoma City Bombing in 1995 was irrefutable a false flag attack! Likewise, the 2007 London Bombing in a train station were also irrefutably a false flag attack!

Sandy Hook is all about disarming Americans! Gradually, little by little, guns will become increasingly difficult for law-abiding U.S. citizens to own!!! Of course, street gangs, thugs and criminals will always have access to guns, leaving everyone else without the means to adequately defend themselves! By the time the local cops arrive, you and/or your loved ones will be burglarized, raped and dead!!! Kennesaw, Georgia, PROVES that guns ownership works!!! The law in that city requires all citizens to own a gun, and their city is virtually crime-free, one of the safest places in America to live!!! In your face all you leftist kooks, quacks and queers!!!

Former state trooper, Wolfgang Halbig, is an American hero for exposing the hoax of Sandy Hook; and I applaud him greatly and respectfully! Thank you Sir for your valor, resolve and zeal for THE TRUTH! The harsh way that the authorities have shunned, demonized and crucified Mr. Halbig in the media is further PROOF of a conspiracy to whitewash the truth about Sandy Hook. Ecclesiastes 5:8, “If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they.”

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

Origin of the moon

If the current understanding of the origin of the moon is that the Earth was struck by a large Mars-like object wouldn't there be some large scale evidence of that? Even a glancing blow would still impart a tremendous amount of energy.

South Pole Aitken Basin is approximately 2500 km across.The semi-square semicircular plate of land near Taiwain is around 2500 km across.

There appear to be energy waves rippling out from that location in the features of Earth's surface. If you follow the direction of the "cracks" you generally end up at u shaped bends of land like near Alaska, Panama, Chile, between south America and Antarctica doesn't have a Continent behind it like the rest of the Americas so that energy wave isn't dissipated and sweeps all the way up to india.

The Himalayan Mountains were created by the backward energy wave propagating through the land.

Plate tectonics were created by this event. They follow fracture analysis patterns indicating a impact near Taiwan.

The orientation of the Lunar Plane makes sense with a hit in that location in that direction.


[...]

Be_Genuine: Is this a question, a fan fiction theory...?


Ktownkemist: It's an observation based on geological and chemical data.

Using the scientific principles of fracture analysis in regards to our planet. (Earth is basically a giant piece of glass.)

There is too much compelling evidence to deny there is not something interesting going on here.


Be_Genuine: No, Earth is certainly not like a giant piece of glass. It's not even half SiO2 and most of that is in crystal form or non-solid state anyway. The other posters have already made short work of this (conspiracy) "theory." The observations you made have are spurious and have other causes. The Himalayas, for example, were (created from the indo-euroasian collision, not, what you said, a backripple of energy?


Ktownkemist: Actually it is like a giant piece of glass. In what ways is it not? Glass doesn't have to be 50% SiO2. Glass can be crystalline, liquid or amorphous.

There isn't a lot of evidence to back up your claims unfortunately.

I'm still not sure why you use such inflammatory language besides trying to make me look "stupid". If you want to comment with science do it, but don't call me a conspiracy theorist because that's just not nice and it has a very bad connotation associated with it.


Be_Genuine: Glass cannot be crystalline, that is against the very geologic definition of the word. glass: an amorphous, non crystalline solid. Most glass we refer to is primarily SiO2, thus why I brought up the composition percentages. As for a lack of evidence, I'd be happy to link you some papers about the Tibetan uplift, Himalayan orogeny, subduction zone/island arc volcanology (which explains the "U-shaped" land around Alaska and Chile, and evidence that the moon was formed from an impact early on after the earth had zoned. As for the "inflammatory language" I guess it was a gut response to what I interpreted as someone trying to use pseudo science (or a lack of understanding) to promote an idea that looks plausible but, when the evidence is examined, is not. In the age of anti-vaxxers and flat earthers, I may be a bit hair triggered with clamping down on misinformation.


Ktownkemist: Glass can be crystalline. It can have crystalline grains embedded in a noncrystalline matrix. That is what glass means: as long as there is no observable macroscopic pattern you can have as many microcrystals as you want.

Go ahead and link the papers I'm sure they are fundamentally lacking some concept.


Be_Genuine: Yes. Microcrystalline particles in an amorphous matrix does not constitute a crystalline structure. And bingo! There's the conspiracy theorist showing itself. I won't bother sending the papers - you've decided anything that could disprove your "theory" must be fundamentally flawed. Real science looks for ways to disprove theories, especially our own, not to ignore evidence that would contradict our ideas. That is the mentality I hope to help people overcome, and the reason I call out posts like this.
