Gordon Duff: Sky diving off the cliffs of insanity

I love reading left wing conspiracy theorists. Mind you we have them on the right just as bad, but the left ones always amuse me. (I was going to do a piece yesterday on Conservative ones, but Peskoff pissed me off so I am holding until Monday.) And there is no better conspiracy theorist than Gordon Duff of Veterans Today. Mind you Duff is the Senior Editor of Veterans Today, which is why you should only read for the entertainment value, not as a news source. I will actually kill two birds with one stone, since Duff is writing about the O’Keefe break in, so our douchey troll should be satiated on his need to read about that case.

Mind you, we know now that the original reporting on this case really sucked donkey balls. And everyone has acknowledged that by now, including MSNBC which properly chastised Shuster over his dumb ass and illconceived tweets. For a good wrap-up go read Patterico, but the two takeaways that should be noted are this Washington Post retraction:

Earlier versions of this story incorrectly reported that James O’Keefe faced charges in an alleged plot to bug the office of Sen. Mary Landrieu. The charges were related to an alleged plot to tamper with a phone system. The headline incorrectly referred to a plot to bug the phone and a caption incorrectly referred to an alleged wiretap scheme….

and this sentence later:

A law enforcement official says the four men arrested for attempting to tamper with the phones in the New Orleans office of Sen. Mary Landrieu (D) were not trying to intercept or wiretap the calls.

Anyway, the point here is that contrary to first reports, this wasn’t some grand scheme, and the reality is it likely will amount to jack shit in the way of punishment. (That per a Federal Prosecutor.)

So there is the context. Now let’s look at the plot according to Duff man:

This week, a “Watergate” type attack on the Federal Building in New Orleans was thwarted when 4 “black bag” operatives, one the son of US Attorney, William J. Flannigan, whose offices were in the same building, were arrested “in the act.”

Another of the men, James O’Keefe is a close associate of Texas Republican and Member of Congress, Pete Olson. Olson’s campaign to recover convicted Rep. Tom Delay’s seat from the Democrats was financed by rogue billionaire Dan Duncan, noted for his helicoper/machinegun trophy hunting trips to Russia.

That there is how to form a conspiracy theory folks! Those two paragraphs have it all: Black Bag operatives, US Attorneys, two Irish conspirators, and helicopter/machinegun trophy hunting trips in Russia. Dude, it’s like a Tom Clancy novel crossed with Dumb and Dumberer. What we truly need though is a tie in to torture and Gitmo, but we have to wait until paragraph 3 for that one:

Suspects, even American citizens, who commit crimes like this one are sent to Guantanamo, subjected to “waterboarding” and years of detention, unless, of course, they have friends in high places, friends who want terrorists dealt with harshly unless those terrorists are their friends or family.

Really? How many US Citizens have been waterboarded at Gitmo Gordon? I’m guessing you could count them all on your shrivelled phallus.

This is where it gets REALLY GOOD:

Senator Mary Landreiu is senior member of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, making her office and communications the most classified of any elected official in the United States outside the President. Nearly every national secret involving the security of the United States passes through those offices. Information accessed thru the attempted wiretap and breakin could enable any terrorist organization full access to our most sensitive materials regarding counter-terrorism, intelligence coordination and active ongoing operations.

Information under the highest classification levels from the FBI, CIA, NSA, DIA, DHS , NSC and Whitehouse along with secure “chatter” between House and Senate members and their staffers on homeland security issues would have been accessed. On the “intelligence market,” as described by former FBI translator, Sibel Edmonds, information of this kind is regularly accessed and sold by individuals directly connected to those arrested, sold to enemies of the United States. We are still waiting for the Attorney General to act on these now very substantiated allegations.

Awesome! Now, who is behind this nefarious effort? Why, the JOOOOOS of course!

Those arrested had worked for “journalist” Andrew Beitbart, known Israeli Supporter and prominent voice of powerful Israeli advocate Rupert Murdoch thru his Fox News network and Wall Street Journal. Breitbart is linked to the neo-con controlled Towhall.com and Drudge.com, known for their consistently anti-administration views. Breitbart denies that any of those arrested, though closely associated with him, were acting directly under his orders when the espionage occurred.

I won’t go through the rest of it, but you should go read it. This dude is nuttier than squirrel droppings. And yet some folks persist in believing you can trust information that appears on Veterans Today. Well, you can be sure that Veterans Today, and Veterans Today alone will get to the bottom of all this:

No TV spy could be given such advantages or such protections, especially the protections of the press blackout that we are seeing now, seemingly manipulated through Fox News, the Wall Street Journal, Rupert Murdock and friends. Is Andrew Bretbart, Brentwood resident, pro-Israeli activist and ultra-right winger at the heart of this? Is anyone asking? Is anyone looking?

Thank God you are Gordon. Thank God.

BTW: Landrieu is not the “senior member” of the committee, that doesn’t even make sense. The Committee was only formed in 2005, and Lieberman is the Chairman. Before that it was Susan Collins. Additionally, the Committee has it’s own office, and it is in DC, not in New Orleans. So why in the hell would Landrieu have classified docs there rather than in the DC office? She wouldn’t, Duff is just an idiot who knows nothing what-so-ever about the workings of Congressional Committees.

UPDATE: BWAHAHAHAHA. Read his latest too:

Ask any American, or, in fact prettymuch anyone around the world what President Obama’s biggest failing is and they will always say the same thing. Bush is out of prison, proof Obama is a coward or part of the same gang. All any of us wanted was our country back. It isn’t like there weren’t crimes any prosecutor could prove. We spend billions trying to convict children and mental defectives we kidnap off the street of terrorism and we have a gang here, still running their mouths, running free that is responsible for the deaths of 10,000 Americans, destroying the lives of 400,000 more, killing between 1 and 2 million around the world, 98% innocent civilians, and robbing America blind.
