Anatomy of a Hoax

Unread post by Laura91 »

[Admin Notice by SCS: I came across a post in the Derailing Room from before I created this topic, and I thought it was appropriate to place here. I did so on October 28, 2018.]

I have wanted to post this since I joined this forum but I could never find what seemed to be the appropriate thread for it. I hope it is okay that I am posting it here.

These two videos were the ones that made me think differently about the idea of media fakery.

You hear the exact same voice asking "where's Stu?" but the settings, person asking the question are completely different.

Anatomy of a Hoax

Unread post by SacredCowSlayer »

The purpose of this topic is to begin a collaborative work that sets out to identify a list of Hoax indicators. This list will likely be an ongoing work, and will never be complete. I believe it may serve as a good way to introduce people to media fakery.

Before I begin, I will give the dictionary definition of Hoax, and then my own definition that I believe more accurately describes the use of the word as it pertains to media fakery.

Hoax (Dictionary version)- Something intended to deceive.

Hoax (my version)- A staged or prefabricated event where agents/actors carry out their assigned roles in a storyline that is treated by the media and government as reality.

The list I have come up with so far includes what I believe are indicators or markers of a Hoax as I've defined it. I'm sure there are plenty missing, and I look forward to adding others to it as this thread hopefully develops.

They include (in no particular order at this point):

The appearance of a clothed Dummy (the non human kind :lol: )

LAX Shooting Hoax;

Image

Family members of victims interviewed on the same day at the event;

Andy Parker- WDBJ Shooting Hoax (“Whatever It Takes,”. . . oh indeed.)

Image

Family members smiling and/or laughing (no tears or red/swollen eyes);

Robbie Parker at the Sandy Hoax Event :D
Image

Staged photos of people hugging :puke: ;

Image

Charleston Hoax;

Image

Oregon Community College (Sometimes we get treated to hugs AND smiles :) );

Image

Aurora Shooting Hoax (I bet that lady in the background is smiling because the cameraman is on a ladder :lol: );

Image

Handful of photos and looped video footage (often less than 30 seconds) of parking lots (with numerous parked emergency vehicles) recycled by the news during "Live" coverage;

Image

No actual chaos can be observed (only talk of it);

Shooter/ perp is identified along with his picture and online profile before the end of the day;

Pictures of the shooter posed with props;

Charleston Sim Shooter Dylann Storm Roof (one of my favorite ridiculous "photos" :P )
Image

Family of victims talking about "community coming together";

Witnesses on the same day discussing scary gun/ bullet/ magazine size details;

Law enforcement dressed in formal official ceremony uniforms;

Reports of tragic ironies :rolleyes: (eg. Ballerina gets leg blown off);

Hero stories;

Image

Large numbers of emergency vehicles doing absolutely nothing;

Photoshopped pictures of victims and the shooter;

Very few photo's available of victims and perpetrator, often low resolution or even black & white;

Sandy Hoax Sim Shooter Adam Lanza :wacko: (just pitiful)
Image

Casualties not included in official crime statistics;

Red, yellow, and green triage mats are set up but never used;

Sandy Hook (26 dead people inside? Yeah ok :rolleyes: );

Image

The governor and president both speak within hours of the event with the latter shamelessly pimping gun control;

Comments on social media made before the event began;

WDBJ Shooting Hoax (Event was at 6:45 AM EST);

Image

Memorial/ fundraiser pages set up either prior to or contemporaneous with the event. (Here is a classic from Sandy Hook);

Image

At some point I will be putting this list into a spreadsheet.

Note: Edits are to add images (examples)

Nice iniative, and combined with Senecas proposal for a wiki a good start imho.

For me the most obvious indicator is:

Contrary to serious (police) investigations the hoax stories do not grow with time based on new clues and thorough research yet are dumped onto the plates of the viewers and readers showing the prefabrication of them. Real tragic events take time to unveil. The microwaved crappy hoax stories do not, leaving us to discover the sloppy contradictions.

Yes that is a good point. In real life we don't get all the answers in 24 hours like we do with all these staged events.
Quick question for you. Should I edit my own post to add things? Or simply reply to post?
I want to follow protocol.
Thanks for the feedback. :)

My only protocol is spreading information and increase critical thinking and respect for morality into my world. I'd say; your initiative, your call for lay-out. ;)

Examples and reference links to the vault of established research on CluesForum itself really make the difference in the end.

Yes, good initiative. Actually Brianv proposed the wiki before me.

You will find out that you can only edit your posts for a limited amount of time. Another element you can add: Very few photo's available of victims and perpetrator, often low resolution or even black & white.

That is well worth spelling out. Thanks, I'll put it right above Lanza boy.

From: https://sites.google.com/site/wtc7lies/home (which also cites an old link to NARA's 9/11 commission "investigation" documents, now here: http://www.archives.gov/research/9-11/)

If you look at this list, clearly produced by a "liar, dupe or shill" itself, you will see that a lot of these "names" are not actually names but only organizations said to be involved. A number of them are divisions of police and fire departments in order to fluff up the diversity of organizations and overwhelm by implying a large number of conspirators. The number of combined individuals and names numbers much fewer than I would assume would be involved in a large military-style operation. So it's actually a fairly ironic argument against the idea that there was no conspiracy at work.

Re: Anatomy of a Hoax

Unread post by arc300 »

According to wikipedia:

"The Kübler-Ross model postulates a series of emotional stages experienced by survivors of an intimate's death, wherein the five stages are denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.

1.Denial — The first reaction is denial. In this stage individuals believe the diagnosis is somehow mistaken, and cling to a false, preferable reality.

2.Anger — When the individual recognizes that denial cannot continue, it becomes frustrated, especially at proximate individuals. Certain psychological responses of a person undergoing this phase would be: "Why me? It's not fair!"; "How can this happen to me?"; '"Who is to blame?"; "Why would this happen?".

3.Bargaining — The third stage involves the hope that the individual can avoid a cause of grief. Usually, the negotiation for an extended life is made in exchange for a reformed lifestyle. People facing less serious trauma can bargain or seek compromise.

4.Depression — "I'm so sad, why bother with anything?"; "I'm going to die soon so what's the point?"; "I miss my loved one, why go on?"
During the fourth stage, the individual becomes saddened by the mathematical probability of death. In this state, the individual may become silent, refuse visitors and spend much of the time mournful and sullen.

5.Acceptance — "It's going to be okay."; "I can't fight it, I may as well prepare for it."; "Nothing is impossible."
In this last stage, individuals embrace mortality or inevitable future, or that of a loved one, or other tragic event. People dying may precede the survivors in this state, which typically comes with a calm, retrospective view for the individual, and a stable condition of emotions."
[END QUOTE]

You know you're being hoaxed when the alleged survivors and families of victims horribly murdered jump straight to STAGE 5 of the 'grief-stakes'.
These poorly simulated entities immediately start forgiving the simulated killer. But then in later interviews they seem to regress to STAGE 4.

Oh isn't that the truth! What stage is it when a person skips all five and goes straight to pure exploitation?

Imagine what could happen if psychologists were to use these events to study how people grieve!
In ten years they will tell us this it normal behavior because of course their case studies show that it is.

It's kind of like a physicist saying "of course a plane can cut through steel! We saw it on tv!" :blink:

Re: Anatomy of a Hoax

This is a short but sweet example of horrible crisis acting from the October 1, 2015 Oregon Community College shooting Hoax. It's almost difficult to watch, but at least it's under 2 minutes.

By the way, this satisfies two "identifiers" in one.
-Family members being interviewed the same day.
-Witness going into details about guns/magazines.

I came across this clip recently. I am posting it here as I think it shows how such media hoaxes are perpetuated and controlled even years after the event.

"This is a segment from Geraldo Rivera's late-night ABC-TV talk show "Good Night America", where Abraham Zapruder's famous home movie depicting President John F. Kennedy's assassination in graphic detail is shown to an American audience for the very first time. Robert Groden is one of Rivera's guests. The date of the program: March 6, 1975."

Geraldo Rivera, the host, introduces Dick Gregory and describes him as a 'humanitarian'. Gregory makes an interesting comment about listening to the news on November 22, 1963 at about 1:45 or so.
Of course we know now that the Zapruder film is a proven fake.

Here the film is shown as it was meant to be seen by the public. It is not stabilized and one cannot tell as easily, that this is nothing more than a photographic cartoon. This 'snuff' film would become the center piece of the Oliver Stone directed 'JFK' years later, with the famous "back and to the left" scene. The public is allowed to relive this traumatic event over and over for years to come.

In the following video you can see what is supposed to be Columbine victim Rachel Scott (reportedly the first person killed in the incident). At the end of this short video you can see the "body" being dragged by the police.

I have to wonder what legitimate reason there would be to do this to an injured or dead person.

I just wanted to briefly flesh out the LAX shooting hoax a bit. There are obvious shills on YT saying this victim was a friend and that he bled out before being placed in the wheelchair (thus the extreme white color :lol: ).

The following pictures should speak for themselves.

Good spot to put some fake blood on.

Looks pretty good for a guy bleeding out.

And now he has taken a sharp turn for the worse (but his shirt seemed to improve).

This is a good one for introducing people to media fakery. If they think this looks real then please (for your own sake) move on to someone else.

So this guy is close to death with a wound that is bleeding profusely and is in desperate need of a stretcher/trolley to get him to medical assistance just as a 'sight-seer' with his Atlantic City Boardwalk Pusher comes perambulating by, seen on the left of the picture, taking in the sights?
