Deception and the Government
 
There are many conspiracy theories regarding the truth about 9-11, Columbine, the Gabby Giffords assassination attempt, Sandy Hook and more. One has to suspend the disbelief that the US government would actually plot to kill and/or deceive its citizens for a broader agenda. For example, "truthers" will tell you that the government needed an excuse to go to war with Muslims and begin a nation building process of "democracy" in Middle East nations, so it "arranged" the September 11, 2001 twin towers attack in New York. Others will say that this Administration wants to ban guns so it "arranged" the Gabby Giffords and Sandy Hook crisis, among others. Notwithstanding, what deception is before us?
 
Jesus said in Matthew 24:4, "Take heed that no man deceive you." Paul wrote in 2 Timothy 3:13, "But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived." Part of the problem with the conspiracy theorists to date is that they call undocumented theories "truth" and are unable to apply good investigative process to validate their theories. I do not say this to invite a bunch of angry emails, but only to underscore that if you make accusations that seem outlandish, you have to bring documentation and facts to prove your case--not supposition. Nevertheless, there are many questions surrounding Sandy Hook and what really happened there.
 
There are no questions about how politicians are using this event to weaken the Second Amendment when gun-related deaths are not even among the top killers in America, especially when considered with traffic-related deaths, abortions--well, you get the picture. But there is one 60 year old case that is documented and is being exposed through the courts of an incident where the government may have been caught killing a US citizen and covering it up. The sons of Frank Olson, a government scientist, have filed suit in Washington, DC court claiming that the CIA drugged their father with LSD and threw him to his death from the 13th floor of a Manhattan hotel after he learned about secret torture sites in Europe.
 
The UK Telegraph reports the suit alleges that Olson wanted to resign after he learned that his work was being used to torture people during the Cold War. Olson was taken to New York for a psychological evaluation and from the hotel room he was sharing with a CIA doctor, Olson was drugged and died in the street below the room. The government admitted drugging him and called the death a suicide, but later the cause of death was changed to "unknown." If the federal government is capable of drugging a man with LSD to get him to commit an act of suicide or to kill him, what else is the federal government capable of doing, especially in a prophetic era of such volatile political stakes?

Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!
