I had hoped to take a recess from the conspiracy stuff -- and then I started reading.
"Brazen gunman attacks school, killing 12 Brazilian children" April 08, 2011|By Juliana Barbassa, Associated Press
RIO DE JANEIRO — A gunman roamed the halls of an elementary school yesterday and killed 12 children, lining them up against a wall and shooting them in the head at point-blank range as he shouted, “I’m going to kill you all!’’
It was the worst school shooting in Brazil — and would have been deadlier if the gunman had not been shot in the legs by a police officer, who said the man then fell down some stairs and shot himself in the head.
Images taken with a cellphone and posted on YouTube showed students fleeing wildly, screaming for help, many with their clothing soaked in blood....

"Brazil holds funerals for shooting victims" April 09, 2011|Associated Press
RIO DE JANEIRO — Parents screamed in anguish and clung to coffins yesterday as families began burying 12 children gunned down in the halls of their elementary school. A black police helicopter dropped white rose petals over mourners, and a nation was left struggling for answers....
The shooter, whom police identified as 23-year-old Wellington Oliveira, was a good student with a history of psychological problems who attended the Tasso school; that he showed a fascination with the 9/11 attacks in the United States; and that he spent a lot of time on his computer watching videos about how to fire weapons.
And that is when this incident really started stinking!!

I know it is a horrible thing to consider; however, have you ever heard of the MK Ultra program?
"Brazil school gunman left angry videos and letters" April 16, 2011|By Juliana Barbassa, Associated Press
RIO DE JANEIRO — Videos, photos, and written documents left by the man who shot to death 12 public school students were released yesterday and reveal an angry, delusional character whose rambling messages parallel in part those left by the Virginia Tech student who killed 32 people in 2007....
Oh, so we had a bluebird sighting in Brazil, huh?

"2 men say they sold gun to school killer
RIO DE JANEIRO — Two men said they supplied a gun to a man who entered a Rio de Janeiro school, opened fire, and killed at least 12 children before taking his own life, a police official said yesterday. Charleston Souza de Lucena, 38, and Isaias de Souza, 48, said that they sold a gun to the shooter and regretted having done so, Officer Altamir Ribeiro said. The two men have not been charged."
That's not even the point. The point has been to portray anyone who doesn't believe the government's lies about 9/11 as crazy and dangerous -- and I am quite frankly tired of that s*** swill sell.
Of course, government, authorities, and media would never lie to us:
"Air France jet wreckage from ’09 found off Brazil" April 05, 2011|By Greg Keller, Associated Press
PARIS — Crews could start recovering bodies and wreckage within a month from an Air France plane found on the Atlantic Ocean floor, after the stunning deep-water discovery raised new hope of determining the cause of the 2009 crash.
At the time they told us it was a faulty sensor, and they made airlines spend millions replacing them. WTF?
Investigators said yesterday they still haven’t found the plane’s “black box’’ flight recorders, and it is unclear whether they remain attached to the fuselage, or whether they are even still intact after nearly two years in sandy depths of 2.4 miles.
They are supposed to survive anything, so WTF? Excuses starting already? What is the point of this propaganda?
The team involved in this weekend’s discovery, which used undersea robots, was led by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts.
All 228 people aboard the plane were killed when Flight 447, en route from Rio de Janeiro to Paris, slammed into the ocean northeast of Brazil on June 1, 2009, after running into an intense high-altitude thunderstorm. The cause of the crash, the worst in Air France’s history, remains unclear.
But terrorism was instantly ruled out?
French officials said the robots located bodies, motors, and most of the Airbus jet in a fourth underwater search operation, after the last two search efforts turned up nothing.
Investigators have said that without the recorders, the cause of the crash may never be determined....
The recorders should be in the rear of the fuselage, but it is possible they were ejected in the shock of the crash, he said. If the black boxes are located, they may not need to bring up the rest of the plane, because the reason for the search was to shed light on the cause of the crash, he said.
And -- this is only a thought -- what if the tapes are faked?
The recovery could begin in three weeks to a month, said Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet, France’s minister overseeing the environment and transport.
Finding the cause took on new importance last month when a French judge filed preliminary manslaughter charges against Air France and the plane’s manufacturer, Airbus.
Yes, isn't the TIMING AWFULLY ODD here?
Air France and Airbus are financing the estimated $12.5 million cost of the new, fourth search effort that started last month, but the government will fund the retrieval effort.
This as the French social safety net is being slashed.
About $28 million has already been spent on the three previous searches for the jet’s wreckage.
The search is being targeted in an area of about 3,900 square miles, several hundred miles off Brazil’s northeastern coast.

Ah, the strange odyssey of Flight 447.
And after United Flight 93 and TWA 800 I no longer believe anything the authorities or newspapers say about airplane crashes. Sorry.
