School Shooting: Another Government Black-Op?

Early details suggest Columbine-style set-up to justify mass gun control, VA Tech has "blood on their hands," banned concealed carry, disarming victims

Early details about the horrific school shooting at Virginia Tech strongly indicate that these events represent a Columbine-style black-op that will be exploited in the coming days to push for mass gun control and further turning our schools into prisons.

Eyewitness Matt Kazee told the Alex Jones Show that it was a full two to three hours after the shootings began that loudspeakers installed around the campus were used to warn students to stay indoors and that a shooter was on the loose.

Quite how the killer was afforded so much time before any action was taken to stop him is baffling, especially considering the fact that the campus, according to Kazee, was crawling with police before the event happened due to numerous bomb threats that had been phoned in last week.

The shootings came three days after a bomb threat Friday forced the cancellation of classes in three buildings, WDBJ in Roanoke reported. Also, the 100,000-square-foot Torgersen Hall was evacuated April 2 after police received a written bomb threat, The Roanoke Times reported.


The details that are beginning to emerge fill the criteria that this could very well be another government black-op that will be used as justification for more gun control and turing our schools into prisons, festooned with armed guards, surveillance cameras and biometric scanning to gain entry.

Ironic therefore it is that Virginia is a concealed carry state and yet Virginia Tech campus recently enforced a policy prohibiting "unauthorized possession, storage or control" of firearms on campus. According to gun rights activists such as Aaron Zelman of Jews For The Preservation of Firearms, VA Tech has "blood on its hands" for disarming the 21 victims who could potentially have defended themselves against the killer.

Initial reports suggested there were two shooters, but the story quickly changed to just one shooter who later killed himself (as happens in almost all these cases) or was shot by police.

Eyewitness accounts describe police hiding behind trees and failing to pursue the killer, while ordering the school to be placed on lockdown so nobody could escape the carnage as the killer picked off his targets with seemingly little interruption from the police.

At the moment, the official death toll is 30, but could rise, making this the deadliest school shooting in history.

If these figures are accurate, the casualty figures surpass those of the school shooting at Columbine in 1999 when Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris killed 12 students and a teacher before killing themselves.

It is well documented that disturbing questions remain over the incident at Columbine. It is clear that authorities had prior knowledge of what was going to happen. Observers were in the area hours before the shooting took place. Articles from the Associated Press stated that ballistics from Columbine show that six of the thirteen victims were possibly shot and killed by Jefferson County SWAT. Information is still being kept secret.

In the aftermath of Columbine there were calls for vastly increased gun control laws, more than 15 state legislatures passed significant gun control bills or dropped NRA-supported bills.



In 1996 a similar incident occurred in Dunblane in Scotland where sixteen children and one adult were killed. The resulting inquiry recommended tighter control of handgun ownership, public feeling had turned against private gun ownership, allowing a much more restrictive ban on handguns to pass.

It then emerged that the killer Thomas Hamilton was heavily involved in Freemasonry, as well as running clubs for young boys, a fact which Labour and Tory ministers acknowledged in correspondence to each other. A a 100-year public secrecy order was placed on the documents, along with the majority of other information relating to the case including the police report. There have been allegations that the lengthy closure order was placed on the report after it linked Hamilton to figures in the Scottish establishment, including two senior politicians and a lawyer.

In both the Dunblane and Columbine cases the shooters turned the guns on themselves after the killing spree was over.

We will have more on this story as it unfolds.

RCMP'S BOGEYS PILE UP

By GREG WESTON

In the final week of August, 2001, nine members of the RCMP brass up to the rank of deputy commissioner jetted off to a luxurious New Brunswick resort for unspecified “meetings” with each other, and a round or two of golf at the five-star St. Andrew’s country club.

By the time their score cards and expense accounts had been tallied, the happy Horsemen had trotted up bills of more than $8,000 a day.

The good news is the Mounties were not directly taking Canadian taxpayers for a musical ride.

The bad news is these high-ranking leaders of Canada’s national law-enforcement agency were paying for their luxury golf retreat by sucking funds from the pension savings of the 26,000 dedicated men and women under their command.

Worse, most were connected to the RCMP board specifically entrusted with ensuring the Mounties’ pensions funds are protected and prudently administered.

A staffer of one of the lucky duffers wrote the following e-mail regarding the required invoicing for the junket.

“I need to make an adjustment on the rate for the RCMP Pension Advisory Board ... The purpose of this is to hide the golf rates in the room rates and to expense the golf ... Also, can you make sure the golf club employees are aware of the payment arrangement. Last year, they seemed a little confused.”

Last year? How many similar golf trips had preceded the St. Andrew’s getaway, no one seems to know for sure.

What we do know is that jet-set junkets were only a tiny piece of a much broader ethical rot.

Four separate probes over a period of almost three years, including a lengthy criminal investigation by Ottawa city police, uncovered an estimated $3.4 million in RCMP pension funds had been misspent over a three-year period.

Until now, both the current Conservative government and the previous Liberal bunch have tried their best to wish away the stench of the latest scandal to rock the RCMP.

But some shocking testimony from past and present Mounties at a Commons committee recently has forced Public Security Minister Stockwell Day to order an independent probe, while not ruling out a full public inquiry.

If it weren’t such an appalling abuse of authority and trust, this latest chapter of Dudley Do-Wrong would be the perfect spoof.

While the men were out putting at St. Andrew’s, for instance, many of their kids, spouses and assorted relatives were slaving away at the RCMP pension board, some for only double the going rate of pay.

Nepotism in hiring

One investigation revealed that of 65 people hired at the board, 49 were there through outright nepotism in direct contravention of federal regulations, and many of them were overpaid by a total of more than $200,000.

One of the biggest-ticket snafus was in the contracting department — $1.3 million that was charged to the pension plan for “work of little value,” notably the same phrase that came to define the sponsorship scandal.

But the most breathtaking part of this sorry saga is how the Mounties so diligently managed to not get their man, even when he was sitting in the next office at RCMP headquarters.

When a brave RCMP employee named Denise Revine first blew the whistle to Chief Supt. Fraser Macaulay in 2003, a criminal investigation was immediately launched.

But two days later, then-RCMP commish Giuliano Zaccardelli — who has denied any wrongdoing in this case — canned the criminal probe and turned the matter over to his department’s internal auditors.

In October of that year, the auditors confirmed, yesiree, there had indeed been some hanky-panky in high places, and sent a copy of their findings to the auditor general.

Three months later, Zaccardelli called in the Ottawa city police to launch a supposedly independent criminal investigation of the Mounties and the alleged pension pilfering.

We say “supposedly independent” because it sure didn’t look like one.

The investigation was conducted by a team of 15 — 13 Mounties and only two Ottawa cops, all of them operating out of an office at RCMP headquarters, and reporting to a deputy commissioner of the RCMP.

After a 15-month investigation, not a single criminal charge was laid, and by a stroke of good fortune for those involved, so much time had elapsed for the audit and investigation that the statute of limitations on disciplinary action had also expired.

Instead, of the nine members of the St. Andrew’s golf and pension-pinching club, we are told at least five are still on the force and most have been promoted after “a day of ethics training.”

Two eventually resigned, but only after sitting at home on full pay for more than 18 months. Both were given performance bonuses of more than $10,000 each for their fine contribution to the RCMP during their final year on the golf tour.

Since blowing the whistle more than three years ago, Denise Revine has been forced to work from home.
