~ It's Time to Rise and Shine ~
We as spiritual beings or souls come to earth in order to experience the human condition. This includes the good and the bad scenarios of this world. Our world is a duality planet and no amount of love or grace will eliminate evil or nastiness. We will return again and again until we have pierced the illusions of this density. The purpose of human life is to awaken to universal truth. This also means that we must awaken to the lies and deceit mankind is subjected to. To pierce the third density illusion is a must in order to remove ourselves from the wheel of human existences. Love is important but knowledge is the key! |
New Book Reveals Other Shooters at Columbine "Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris weren't the only gunmen," says Russ Kick, editor of Everything You Know Is Wrong: The Disinformation Guide to Secrets and Lies (The Disinformation Company, 2002) On April 20, 1999, the worst school shooting in American history occurred at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado. In the end, twelve students, one teacher, and two gunmen lay dead. Though early news reports quoted eyewitnesses talking about more than two gunmen, we were soon told that the massacre was perpetrated by only two individuals--students Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold. In November of 2000, Jefferson County (Colorado) released 11,000 pages of raw documents relating to the investigation. The release was covered by the media, which noted that the documents contained new insights into the killers' motivations, the deaths of specific students, and other aspects of the tragedy. However, the press scrupulously ignored the amazing number of reports from eyewitnesses who saw people other than Harris and Klebold taking part. Russ Kick's article "Witnesses to a Massacre: Other Participants at Columbine"--available only in the book Everything You Know Is Wrong--breaks the silence. It contains verbatim extracts from the written statements and police interviews of 45 students and faculty whose accounts throw into question the official version of events. Among the revelations: * Several students in the cafeteria and on the soccer field saw a young man dressed in jeans and a white T-shirt throwing bombs during the attack. (Harris and Klebold were dressed in black trenchcoats and black pants.) * Five students identified by name another student as being a perpetrator. One even made eye contact with him while he was shooting. * Four students who were barricaded in a science room offered stunningly similar descriptions of a gunman they saw through the small window of the door. He was in his mid-twenties to early thirties, short, stocky, and muscular, with cropped hair that was either blonde or black with blonde tips. One student even provided a sketch of this unknown man (which is published for the first time in Everything You Know Is Wrong). * Other students reported seeing a suspect wearing camouflage pants. One witness saw this person shoot teacher David Sanders, who died a few hours later. * Several students, a teacher, and a coach reported the presence of a gunman on the roof of the school. * Three students heard the shooters referring to one of their accomplices as "Joe." * Several students reported seeing other gunmen, including three shooters in the cafeteria simultaneously and someone with a gun crouching in the bushes near the school. * A teacher and two library staffers reported hearing gunshots between 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM, although Harris and Klebold are officially said to have killed themselves at 12:08 PM. * Further eyewitness statements involve a pickup truck slowly circling the parking lot during the rampage, a student who was arrested at the scene (whom the authorities have never discussed), the assistant principal naming "Ned" as a perpetrator, and other pieces of information that don't fit into the official story. "When I first saw these statements, I was stunned," Kick said. "My previous book had an article about early media coverage of the Columbine shooting, so I knew there were many reports of other people taking part. But reading the raw documents and seeing the details takes it to a whole new level." What about those who question the validity of eyewitness testimony? "That's certainly a concern," Kick replied. "But when you have three or more eyewitnesses separately describing the same thing, it's pretty powerful. For example, there's amazing consistency among reports of the bomb-thrower in the white tee-shirt. And several of those kids saw him causing havoc alongside Harris and Klebold. In other words, they saw three perpetrators at the same time. That's quite persuasive." Is there any other evidence that more people were involved? "Definitely," said Kick. "There was only so much time and so many pages I could devote to the case, but there's a lot more." Such as? "Since turning the article in, I've found even more eyewitness reports indicating more than two gunmen. Then there are the media reports from April 20 and the days immediately afterward, which tell a very different story. As far as physical evidence goes, there are bullets and bullet fragments from the crime scene that don't match the guns used by Harris, Klebold, or law enforcement personnel. Then we have all the evidence that's being withheld. The authorities have released the autopsy for Eric Harris but not for Dylan Klebold. They've released the autopsies for two students but not for the other ten or for the teacher, David Harris. There are missing ballistics, evidence, and eyewitness reports. There are maps of the crime scene that have never been released, which have been leaked to me. They show that, contrary to what we've been told, the authorities fired into the library--where almost all the students were killed--and into classrooms where, according to the official story, Harris and Klebold never were. I've posted these maps to my Website, alterNewswire." Sounds like they're hiding something, doesn't it? "Oh yes," Kick replied. "There's no doubt that they're refusing to release a lot of material. The only question is why. And I can only think of two reasons. Either the authorities haven't told us what happened that day, or they're hiding their inept handling of the situation. Or both. The parents of two slain students and one student who survived that day are on record as saying the authorities are lying about Columbine. I quote them in my article. And since my article was finalized, parents of two more deceased students have said the same thing." Will we ever find out what really happened? "I wouldn't bet on it," Kick said. "Then again, there are a number of people who are refusing to let the secrecy and lies stand, so there's hope yet."
