911Blogger.com's Orangutan comes out of the "American Free Press" fringe closet

I've gotta work on that title.  Too wordy.

As the years go by, the right wing fringe front DNA becomes more and more obvious at the "truther" website 911blogger.com.   But, up until now, the owners have played face-saving games and disclaimers, no matter what was posted.  This has included some truly despicable shite, of which calling the Sandy Hook shootings fake is the bottom of the barrell.

Well today it isn't just anyone pulling this rubbish.  The website co-owner Orangatan is not only is pushing the "Hooker" scam, but links to the Larouche/Cato/fringe loonie website American Free Press to do so:

School Safety Expert Threatened for Questioning Sandy Hook
School safety expert who was invited by the U.S. Department of Justice to train over 3,500 school police officers, superintendents and principals, Wolfgang W. Halbig, threatened by police investigators for questioning Sandy Hook official story.

Ex Florida state trooper/investigator on the verge of blowing Sandy Hook wide open after receiving multiple official threats. Incredible information.
Wolfgang W. Halbig doesn't believe anyone was killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14, 2012, and he's looking for some answers. So many answers, in fact, that he was paid a visit by some police investigators telling him to back off.
Mr. Halbig isn't your average "conspiracy theorist." He's worked in public education as a teacher, dean, assistant principal, principal of an alternative school and as the Director for School Safety and Security for the Seminole County Public Schools, a school district of approximately 65,000 students.
A former Florida State Trooper and United States Customs Inspector, Mr. Halbig was invited by the U.S. Department of Justice to train over 3,500 school police officers, school superintendents and school principals. He travels the country providing presentations and keynotes to a variety of school board associations and conferences and is a nationally-recognized school safety and security expert and consultant, who has provided safety training and school assessments for more than 4,000 school districts nationwide.
Dave Gahary spoke with Wolfgang about why he doesn't believe the official story of the Sandy Hook Elementary School event, in this interesting interview (43:23).

Atop backing allegations that the 7/7 London bombings in 2005, the Sandy Hook school shooting in 2012, and the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013 were acts of governments' covert terrorism,[37][38] he initially suggested for Sandy Hook a role by Israel's Mossad or in any case, via claimed inconsistencies, a governmental stratagem, perhaps to frighten Americans into further gun restrictions.[39] He later claimed that the Sandy Hook massacre was a sham.[40]

Jimmy has backed way off of these claims, perhaps realizing his anti-semite colors were showing a bit too brightly, but these urls to his articles prove that's the position he initially took a week after the shootings:

Of course Fetzer is a known fraud pushing pro Nazi swill.  So is American Free Press who published the article Orangutan linked to:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Free_Press

"According to one former correspondent, the newspaper's direct ancestor was the publication The Spotlight,[1] which ceased publication in 2001 when its parent company, Liberty Lobby, was forced into bankruptcy. Like The Spotlight and Liberty Lobby, Willis Carto, one of America's most influential political racial theorists known for his promotion of antisemitic conspiracy theories and Holocaust denial, was one of its founders."

" The Southern Poverty Law Center considers it a hate group[10] and claims that it "carries stories on Zionism, secret 'New World Order' conspiracies, American Jews and Israel."[11] One of the newspaper's ex-contract reporters, Christopher Bollyn, is sometimes cited for his reporting in the 9/11 Truth Movement. The Anti-Defamation League has criticised the newspaper and, in particular, Bollyn for linking of prominent figures in the Jewish community with the events of September 11, 2001, and in September 2006 attacked the newspaper for disseminating "antisemitic propaganda".[12]
Many contributors such as Mark Dankof[13] and Mark Glenn are also contributors to Iran's PressTV television station. The website Veterans Today which advocates moderate views towards Iran and Syria also carries content created by AFP.[14] According to Accuracy in Media, "Press TV spews out unending streams of anti-American propaganda", and refers to Dankof as a Ron Paul supporter who is also a "Press TV propagandist". In a May 2011 article Dankof protested the British government attempting to shut down Press TV, blaming it on "media outlets and correspondents with provable connections to the American Jewish lobby; Israeli intelligence; and Neo-Conservatives thirsting for a War of Civilizations with Iran specifically, and the Islamic world generally.” [15] In a May 2011 article, Dankof also quoted from and wrote that the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion accurately reflect the state of the world. He lauded PressTV as one of the few exceptions to the Jewish control of the media.[16]"


So this is what 911blogger.com's owners and moderators consider a credible information source these days.  And the sites users seem to approve.Nice to know.

Now "Orangutan" can drop the pretence of running an "activist" website dedicated to discovering the "truth" to stop wars.  911blogger has embraced it's identity as a front for fringe radical right racists.  But this situation is instructive, as it shows how the  fringe right will exploit confused leftists to hijack a platform.

Lest we forgot, 911blogger was not always  a right-wing haven.  "Reprehensor" was not a Nazi, soft sell or otherwise.  I think he was duped into da truth like many of us. Then duped into handing the website to psuedo Nazi tossers. 

This isn't the first time this has happened.  As justifiably horrid as reviews of Veteran's Today are, it wasn't always so.  Now they're on the SPLC radar as of 2011.

But archives going back to 2004 show a website that appears to have been honest about it's mission to help veterans.  Not a "Jews Did It" meme in sight:

If it was a fringe right front then, they were hiding it very well.   The website's focus changed Gordon Duff got involved, around 2006.  It doesn't look like the people running the website knew who he was.  Or like many of us, just couldn't believe he was part of a cynical exploitive anti-semite front group.  By 2009 a 9/11 and Terrorism link was added to the main page, reasonable for a military focused website. But by 2010 they were well on their way reiventeding themselves as the Jew haters paradise we know today:

And the conspiracy stuff starts to get tracktion:

A Danish Scientist breaks the 9/11 culture of silence

This is all very educational. 

I know it's hard to believe, but, AFAIK, 911blogger.com was founded and run by left leaning anti war activists from it's inception, until the latest fringe goons took over around 2009-2010.   Keep in mind they spent years cultivating people, earning trust to get in this position.     The fringe right is highly motivated to exploit and take over any medium it can control.  It's much more surprising this worked with Veteran's Today; you'd expect more persons involved to be alert to fraud.  911blogger.com, once owned by someone misguidedly promoting right wing conspiracy theories, was always a target.   It was only a matter of time before it was either assimilated or shut down. 

What this tells us is the fringe right can be very patient if they want to take over something.

But people like me can be equally patient in exposing their scams.

It won't end well.
