It's been over 50 years, but Wayne Ritchie says he can still remember how it felt to be dosed with acid.
He was drinking bourbon and soda with other federal officers at a holiday party in 1957 at the U.S. Post Office
Building on Seventh and Mission streets. They were cracking jokes and
swapping stories when, suddenly, the room began to spin. The red and
green lights on the Christmas tree in the corner spiraled wildly.
Ritchie's body temperature rose. His gaze fixed on the dizzying colors
around him.
The dots are connecting themselves here, good people! Just a great example how the public is repeatedly lied to in hopes of shaping their opinions and gaining approval. Is the "gay girl" blogger really just a student from Edinburgh? Why do people protesting in Arab countries as of recent have signs printed in English? It nice to see the walls crashing down!

The Excuses and Consequences for the 'Gay Girl in Damascus' Hoax
On Sunday, after a week-longinvestigation, we learned that the author behind the Gay Girl in Damascus blog was not a gay Syrian-American woman named Amina Abdallah Arraf abducted in Syria for her dissident political and social views. Instead it was a 40-year-old American Middle East activist named Tom MacMaster working on his master's degree at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. Over the last 24 hours, MacMaster has changed the title of his blog from "A Gay Girl in Damascus" to "A Hoax that got way out of hand," penned twoposts apologizing to readers, and granted several interviews. Here's how he's rationalized his actions:
An Undercover Middle East Voice: MacMaster initially dismissed the notion that he'd harmed anyone, writing that while the blog's "narrative voıce may have been fictional, the facts on thıs blog are true." He felt he'd "created an important voice for issues that I feel strongly about" and tried to "illuminate them for a western audience." The media frenzy surrounding his hoax, he added, "has sadly only confirmed my feelings regarding the often superficial coverage of the Middle East and the pervasiveness of new forms of liberal Orientalism."
Did you know that Al Qaeda was created by the CIA, and that there is no real network of "terrorists" that call themselves by that name? It was a name the CIA created for a database of people they deemed "terrorists" that didn't necessarily have ties or belong to one unified group. Don't take my word for it, read about it here: "CIA created Al Qaeda" and here: "The myths of Al Qaeda"
Interesting it is then, that a new "Al Qaeda" video has surfaced showing an American turned terrorist (Osama Bin Laden was a CIA asset) speaking in eglish, asking Al Qaeda members in the U.S. to go buy guns and shoot people. HMMMMM.
