I've been listening to some old Art Bell interviews and I looked him up on line to find out more about him.
I realised that his general profile is the same as so many of those now suspiciously fake Laurel Canyon 60s flower power rock stars.
A military kid who started growing up on military bases. That's common among the Laurel Canyon crowd.
But, THIS, is a biggy:
" While serving as a medic in the ‘US Air Force’ during the Vietnam War, he operated a pirate radio station that aired anti-war music from ‘Amarillo Air Force Base. "
I know I don't need to tell most of you about that whole idea of the 60s revolution being one big psy'op', and the anti Vietnam war movement being sabotaged by having it taken over by dirty scruffy drug taking hippies who every self respecting adult of the time regarded as trash and wrong.
So, taking that idea forwards to when he became a big name in the budding new truther scene ( he effectively created it ! ). . . . how much of the new truther scene can we really take seriously ?
And more importantly, what did it take our eye of attention away from ?
