I've followed this as much as I could today, and it seems like videos are already disappearing.

The email seemed off to me; as in, that didn't seem as authentic as they made it out to be to me either. It all seemed too "blow the lid off of everything" (sorry for the pun) to me. My first reaction to it, because it was  conspiracy theory gold all wrapped up in a nice bow, was I thought it might of been a psyop of some sort to trick us into believing something before revealing something to us.

This does get curiouser and curiouser.

I just didn't believe we'd actually be "allowed" to see something that damning.

The news is pushing the PTSD.

I don't see anything new this evening, and content seems to be dwindling on this particular point of it.

The gravitical system was the most interesting, but something we kind of already assume, I thought.

There is no such thing as a "former" intelligence analyst. Once one is roped in to that sort of life, he will forever after always be looking for rabbit warrens in everything. Which I imagine is why this guy Sam went from a government analyst to analyzing intel for the private sector - i's just what he does, what he is geared for, who he IS, and what he will always be geared for.

The "VBIED" in the Tesla truck appears, to me, to be more of an incendiary device than it was an explosive. It looks - to me - like it was designed more to destroy evidence INSIDE the truck than it was meant to damage anything OUTSIDE the truck. Any outside damage looks to me to have been purely coincidental, "collateral damage". A Special Forces Team Sergeant would certainly know the difference between the two, the proper applications of each, and how to go about constructing them properly for effect. The "fuel canisters" alleged to have been in the truck are a giveaway. With fuel, it is only THE FUMES that explode, not the fuel itself. That is spread around to create more fumes to burn. It's an incendiary accelerant, not an explosive.

An MOS of 18Z is Special Forces Operations Sergeant. He's like the "supervisor" of an ODA - AKA an "A Team". Not the "manager" which is higher up, but the day to day supervisor. He is usually the most senior enlisted man on an ODA, and has a broad knowledge base of the specialties involved so that he can properly place, deploy, and employ the various team members. He will have still had his specialty training and secondary cross-training, but in this guy's case I don't know what his primary or secondary functions were before he became a Team Sergeant. There are 12 men on an ODA, and six training specialties... so two men are primary trained in each specialty and everyone has cross training in a secondary function, for redundancy. Ideally, out of a 12 man team, each specialty will have 4 guys trained for it, either as primary or secondary, so that no matter who gets killed, the show can go on. Some of the specialties are Light Weapons, Medical, Demolitions, Communications.

The above information may be dated now - it's what I know from long ago, and may not accurately reflect the current composition of an ODA.

I'm not buying the "DNA don't match" scenario just yet. As far as I'm concerned, it's just an ass-covering rumor until more solidly verified. One report I got was that the DNA of the body in the truck didn't match that of his son. So is that the source of the paternal DNA, or is the source his actual DNA sample held by the military for ID of casualties purposes? Inquiring minds want to know. It makes a difference if the body in the truck is NOT him,and if it's not, we may never know because of the information or misinformation being broadcast right now.

"Gravitic propulsion" aside - which is really an entirely separate issue - I believe that at least a part of the recent drone invasion is sourced to foreign bad actors - whether Chinese, Iranian, Russian, or some combination thereof - for ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance) purposes. Some of them may also be US government drones, either trying to find out what the other drones are, or else just to muddy the waters In an effort to assist the foreigners in their intel gathering. Since the BidenHarris regime allowed a balloon overflight of the entire US publicly, and allowed it to "phone home" with the surveillance gathered before shooting it down at the end of it's mission, I don't put any amount of collusion past them.

Paranoia and hyper-vigilance can indeed be two of the symptoms of PTSD, but are not necessarily so. However, people thus afflicted don't generally off themselves - the whole purpose of the paranoia and hyper-vigilance is to enhance survival potential, which is at odds with someone who is suicidal. The PTSD allegations may just be an effort to make folks afraid of all veterans, since veterans, and especially Special Forces veterans, would be the point end of any anti-government activity if push came to shove. Maybe they think it's better to paint them as suspect proactively, before any shit hits any fans.

So, I dunno. The jury is still out, so far as I'm concerned. It may never come in, if the purpose is misinformation or obfuscation. One thing that intrigues me is the sheer number of videos suddenly surfacing in an effort to trash Shawn Ryan. It's curious the number of folks who are suddenly putting out information - or misinformation - to paint the story as a lie, and to wreck Ryan's reputation and paint him as a "liar".

As was mentioned above, it's a curiosity that is getting curiouser and curiousler.

Like you said, we will never  know the whole story. Especially of this man actually did have some information. 

Why didn't he share proof right off the bat? Seems like he would of had something to back the claims up with. Especially with the fact that the email was put out for us so quickly. 

So weird.

I first noticed that in the mid-1970's with movies like "The Deer Hunter" and "Coming Home" - the latter of which, as I recall, starred "Hanoi Jane" Fonda, which should have been a dead giveaway as to it's actual purpose.

What veterans know is how to identify an enemy, and take the war to that enemy. With "fragging" incidents in Vietnam, it was demonstrated that they have no qualms against taking out enemies, wherever they may be found, even if those enemies were their own, throwing away their lives needlessly.

That's bound to make some governmental miscreant types a little nervous.

I know, right? It's alomst like they are trying to suddemly flood the information market with "counter information", which might also be "disinformation".

Fort Bragg is a big base, containing thousands of people from the 82nd Airborne on the main base to Special Forces at Camp Mackall on the western end of the base. As I recall, it's about 36 miles east to west and 12 miles or so from north to south. The last time I was at Camp Mackall, in 2010 applying for a contract to assist in training of SF troopers, I also had a childhood friend (a former Seabee) on the main base working a construction contract. We had no idea we were on base at the same time until afterwards. So, two people just being on the same base at the same time means exactly nothing - they may never bump into one another.

Quote:The military should have zero problems in identifying his body, if that was in fact, him inside. Having to compare that to his son's DNA for a positive ID is bullspit. Or at least I thought so.

Exactly. It's my understanding that the military had DNA samples of soldiers to assist Graves Registration in identifying remains too damaged to otherwise identify. That has been a problem since the Civil War,when a great number of soldier corpses were too far gone to positively identify. Nearly every town in the south has a "Tomb of the Unknown Confederate", there were so many to go around. Nationally, we have "The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier".. There were also problems identifying MIA/POW remains recovered from Vietnam. To prevent that, the military has taken advantage of current DNA technology.

So why compare the truck body DNA to a BABY, when a sample of known provenance was available?

Seems to me to be more an attempt to tarnish and discredit than an effort to identify.

We don't know for certain that the e-mail even came from him - we are just taking someone else's word for it.

Why did he believe that DHS or the FBI were after him at all? What made him think that, if he actually did? What made him think they were going to "move on him", and that his "VBIED" was the only thing preventing that?

If that were the case, they could have hellfire missiled his VBIED on the move, or even taken it out with a LAWS rocket on a deserted stretch of road (of which there are many in the west) and simply blamed the entire explosion on a mishap with his "VBIED", case closed and neatly wrapped up.... so, if they were truly after him, why didn't that happen?

Could he still be on the run, and all of this just be an effort to proactively discredit him if he ever does resurface?

Since I can think of no circumstances where an SF Operations Sergeant would have access to information about "gravitic drive drones", was that inserted into a potentially fake e-mail to paint him as a "conspiracy theorist", and therefore batshit crazy in the public eye, ahead of anything he might really have to say?

OR is he really already dead, and they are just trying to discredit any other writings that might turn up in the aftermath?

Why didn't he share any evidence indeed, especially if he was planning a suicide and knew that he'd have to release it now or never? In a related vein, why was he planning on getting to Mexico as the "manifesto" claims, if he were planing on blowing himself up instead? Those two directions of planning seem to be at odds with one another.

Why attack unrelated podcasters like Shawn Ryan? We know Mr. Ryan has a well-earned mistrust of government, but he is not really, by any stretch of the imagination, known as a conspiracy theorist.

So many, many questions....
