Sorcha has had reports related to Yellowstone

"This report, however, states that this scientific mission was necessitated by a “severe mysterious magnetic anomaly” detected by the Kosmos 2473 satellite on 3 June occurring in the Yellowstone region of the Western United States which resulted in what is called an “earthquake swarm.”

Most important to note about the 3 June Yellowstone “magnetic anomaly”, this report continues, are that satellite measurements show it being precipitated by the mysterious earthquake swarm hitting the Brooks Range mountains in Alaska, and which seismologists are still at a loss to explain.

The information relating to the linking of these two “events”, this report says, was further verified by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) magnetic anomaly maps and data for North America showing a strange magnetic “disturbance/ripple” emanating from Brooks Range and ending at Yellowstone on 3 June, both of these areas, it is important to note, being part of the Rocky Mountains that stretch more than 4,830 km (3,000 miles) from the northernmost part of British Columbia, in western Canada, to New Mexico, in the southwestern United States.

Of grave concern to Russian military authorities relating to these “events”, General Bondarev says in his report, was the “catastrophic effect” they had on the advanced “magnetoception” inertial navigation systems employed by many US-NATO-Russian warplanes which use these highly sophisticated aircraft flight devices.

Though no Russia military aircraft were near the “disturbed magnetic zone” emanating our from Yellowstone on 3 June, this report says, two US military aircraft were at its “boundaries” in the Southern California region on 4 June while this “event” was still “active” causing them both to crash.

A Voice from the Mountains

I like the website bibliotecapleyades.net . It's really like a virtual mini-library of all kinds of interesting information. In this particular case they link to and reproduce the contents of a page by Philip Brennan, which no longer exists in its original form. Brennan seems to argue that David Booth's site is disinformation on general ideas rather than any specific evidence. Of course it is difficult to ever provide specific evidence in these kinds of cases, because if it is really someone doing serious work for an agency like the CIA, then you won't be able to prove or disprove much of anything about their motivation or methods of doing things.

The problem I have with the general arguments used against the "Sorcha Faal" articles is that it's too easy of a conclusion to make. There is no apparent depth to this disinformation effort if we take it at face value. The way these articles cite without fail some unnamed intelligence report "circulating in the Kremlin" is a joke and no one serious reporter or investigator could be expected to believe that crap the first time, let alone time after time after time after time. So let's think about that. From this detail alone we can conclude that if the "whatdoesitmean.com" website is a deliberate CIA disinformation outlet, it's possibly the most poorly designed and maintained ones ever. The only people who would take everything it says at face value would be the kind of people who show no discernment whatsoever when they read things online, other than something like that it just "feels right" to them, which is a terrible reason to decide to believe anything as far as I'm concerned.

Rather than concluding that this website is some kind of sophisticated disinformation effort (which again, on face value it clearly is not because there is no good reason to take it seriously in the first place) I would sooner believe that this is either part of a wider dump of disinformation across a very large spread of small websites, and so there simply aren't the resources to give each page the attention to make it actually convincing (and there is evidence supporting this in the number of sites attributed to Mr. Booth alone), or else there is something else going on with this particular page where it is designed to look totally erroneous but serve some other function as well.

Another example of a useful purpose: come out with a story that happens to be true, but then outrageously attribute it anonymously to just "intelligence reports in the Kremlin" and have it picked up by a widely-read 3rd party just to proceed to have it totally refuted on its face because of the ridiculous attribution of the information. In this way, for example, let's say that Dick Cheney shot someone else but killed them this time. Then say that "whatdoesitmean.com" releases the story through its CIA connections, adds incorrect details, attributes it to Kremlin intelligence reports (as always), and then has another media source foolishly pick it up and proceed to be berated by everyone else for carrying a false news article. Now if anyone brings up the idea that Cheney shot and killed someone, the idea will be associated with nonsense and traced back to David Booth.

See how that could also be useful?

These kinds of nuances no doubt exist in the art of disinformation, and it's why I think it is more useful to discuss these types of sources in detail rather than dismiss them out of hand and then go spend several hours listening to a story from someone like Corey Goode. Of course not everyone is going to have the patience or interest in following these lines of thought. The source is interesting though for several things that have come of it. I tend to think the "Sorcha Faal" articles are actually fairly sophisticated in that they seem to have served several different purposes in the last several years. For one thing it's used as a source by the more "woo woo" Coast to Coast AM guests, and once it goes out over radio the source is no doubt quickly forgotten by most listeners who aren't going to bother to track down the source of something crazy they just heard on the radio. They've also had at least one article picked up by an Iranian news source that became further politicized in the mainstream arena, which I do not think was an accidental set of events either. And the site has also embedded itself into unfolding internet conspiracy controversies by releasing original information that often has both convincing elements (that draw credulity?) and more unverifiable, potential nonsense.

I think I can sum this up by saying that this source can't be taken at face value, whether you believe it's totally true or totally untrustworthy. The interesting thing about this source is not what it claims but how it has functioned historically within the "alternative community." It's in that respect that I think people will eventually figure this source out, the same way people are figuring out the covert work of police literature inspectors under the pre-revolutionary French government of the 1750's. Just like there is no simple "good guys vs bad guys" dichotomy, there is something more complicated than that going on here as well, and the only danger in reading this source is forgetting to crank up the critical thinking part of the brain before you do so.
