    Default Dave McGowan R.I.P. Nov 22, 2015

    Dave McGowan, fearless conspiracy researcher and author passed away this past Sunday (Nov 22) after a long battle with cancer. A huge loss. (A bit of synchromysticism that he happened to pass away on the anniversary of JFK's death.)

    “If ignorance is truly bliss, then why do so many Americans need Prozac?" ~ Dave McGowan

    Quote An amazing researcher and truth seeker, Dave McGowan, passed away from cancer today at 12:47 p.m. McGowan produced several series of articles on topics like 9/11, the Apollo Moon missions, the Boston Marathon bombings, and the Lincoln assassination. He ran the web site The Center for an Informed America and wrote several books, including Programmed to Kill, Understanding the F-Word: American Fascism and the Politics of Illusion, and Derailing Democracy: The America the Media Don’t Want You to See. Dave opened a lot of eyes and a lot of minds with his incredible work. He will be sorely missed.
    Entire article above can be found here on the snippits and snappits blog along with several links to interviews and info on his books.

    Very many thanks for posting this sad news... I was actually going to start a thread myself in tribute to him. We've just lost a real hero, one of the very best, and — of course — he may very well have been taken out.

    Read this. He posted the following here on his website, on 14 June this year (this is an extract):
    http://davesweb.cnchost.com/cancer.html

    Just nine weeks ago, on April 14, I presented a lengthy video deconstruction of the 2013 Boston Marathon incident through the Caravan to Midnight radio show/podcast. About a week later (on April 20, of all days), the nearly four-hour video presentation was uploaded to YouTube. Not long after that, someone using the username Phoenix Archangel posted an interesting comment: "John [Wells, the host of the show] always signs off with some of the best advice ever. Speaking of advice: this David McGowan fella really ought to quit smoking. With all the elitist feathers he's ruffling, he's likely to come down with a spontaneous case of hitherto undiagnosed stage 4 inoperable Pancreatic cancer."

    As for Mr./Ms Archangel, he/she wasn’t too far off, though I’ve been told that it’s actually incurable small-cell lung cancer that has already spread to my liver and bones. And no, that’s unfortunately not a joke. It’s my new reality as of just a few short weeks ago, when my entire world was turned upside-down and I suddenly found myself being admitted to the oncology ward at Glendale Adventist Medical Center. Four days later, I was beginning my first round of chemotherapy infusions. The second round begins tomorrow, on Monday, June 15.

    I’m still having a very hard time processing all of this. Despite not having the healthiest diet and not making the most healthy lifestyle choices, I have been remarkably healthy throughout my adult life. Until a few weeks ago, I’d never been hospitalized as an adult. Never had any surgical procedures performed. Never had a major illness or significant injury. Never broke a bone in my body. Haven’t ever been reliant on any prescription drugs of any kind. Haven’t even had a primary care physician for many, many years.

    But now, literally overnight, that reality has been replaced with a painful and, if I’m being perfectly honest, terrifying new reality.

    I would like to have known him personally, and fully regret that I did not. Dave was sharply vociferous (and often extremely funny) about
    • The Apollo Moon Landings;
    • The Military-Industrial complex beginning of the 60s music/hippie revolution in Laurel Canyon, LA;
      (Did you know that The Doors' Jim Morrison's father was Admiral George Stephen Morrison, commander of the US warships at the heart of the Aug 1964 Tonkin Gulf False Flag incident that brought the US into the Vietnam War?? And that Frank Zappa's father was chemical warfare specialist Francis Zappa, who worked at Edgewood Arsenal, frequently cited as being connected with MK-Ultra operations? And that's just the start of a disturbingly long list of well-known musicians from military families that's enough to make anyone really quite depressed. This deserves its own thread, and I'd like to take that on sometime soon.)
    • Lincoln's assassination;
    • The Boston Bombings;
    • (and of course) 9/11.
    Dave was an excellent and meticulous investigator, and his work on the Apollo Moon landings in particular unearthed a number of factors I'd been quite unaware of — his presentations of the Apollo debacle were always hilarious. He deliberately used sharp and inventive humor to convey the sheer ridiculousness of many of the claims made by 'official stories'.

    His integrity was unimpeachable, and his radio interviews were a delight to listen to.

    Here are two compilations I made of (1) his work on the musicians in Laurel Canyon (VERY important material, and he was the first to draw attention to it), and (2) the Apollo Moon landings... all linked sequences of articles published on his website. This is alternative journalism at its finest.


    As per the title of this thread, Dave left us on 22 November... less than a week ago, and just five months after he was diagnosed.

    Thank you for your much needed input, Bill. I echo your sentiments on all fronts. I learned about this only a few minutes before I posted, so stunned and lacking for words...

    Adding to Bill's quote of McGowan above:

    Below, a researcher's (Odinrok) commentary on the effect McGowan had in opening up his mind. Also, how he and others suspect Dave may have been "given" cancer (along the lines of Dr. Mary's Monkey by Edward T. Haslam (Trine Day, publisher) by those he was exposing - and Dave was exposing some relatively deep, creepy stuff.

    In honor of Dave's work, and as a tribute to his contribution to the awakening of the masses, allow me to draw attention to a thread begun in 2010 relating to his exposé on MK-Ultra Mind Control Programs, targeting the popular culture back in the late '60s. Here's a cross-posting of the OP of that thread:

    Quote Posted by observer (here)
    We begin to weave the threads of knowledge into a tapestry of understanding:

    Edit Note:The original video link has been taken-down. I found a YouTube to both Part I, and also Part 2. Here's the new links.

    Part 1:


    Part 2:



    I tell ya folks, this entire reality is a Disney cartoon; I expect to look out my window and see Bugs Bunny driving down my street on a steamroller at any moment !!! (oh, that's right, Bugs is a Warner Brothers character)
    Additionally, here are two recent comments relating to the current circumstances. First, greater in-depth association to a global program:

    Quote Posted by observer (here)
    Since this thread was begun with a Dave McGowan exposé on the Laurel Canyon/Intelligence-Community-Connection, it's only fitting - considering the recent circumstances regarding Dave's untimely death - that I post a few updates to the topic begun in this thread back in 2010.



    Additionally, to update the connection the Tavistock Institute had to do with the Intelligence Community, please watch this video.

    And next, greater understanding surrounding the circumstances of Dave's untimely demise:

    Quote Posted by observer (here)
    Let's not overlook the exposé of Cathy O'Brian, with her book "Trance-Formation of America". If you really want to be nauseated over what YOUR government has been doing in the dark shadows, spend some time reading this:

    "Trance-Formation of America" - http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/so...sformation.htm

    I purchased this book in the mid '90s. Nothing has been done through-to nearly fifteen years later. Does any of the information in this thread indicate the Masses are overcoming the hideous nature of those in control?

    And now a fast acting cancer has taken-out one of the primary researchers in the field of this exposé, Dave McGowan. Just the sort of biological weapon that was being developed in New Orleans at the time of the Kennedy Assassination - Wake-Up Avalon !!!

    Thank you for your post, Bill.
    I hope the post inspires all Avalon members to look into McGowan's work and share it with their friends and families.

    I approached his work, initially, as a diversion from the serious nature of my personal research into the truth of the world. The first McGowan interview I came across was about the 60s and the music scene from Laurel Canyon during that time. I thought it would be a pleasant review of that era, and coincidentally enough, McGowan had a similar experience, I later learned, when he first stumbled on the information.
    Both of us were shocked and dismayed to learn the truth about he 60s, the music business, Hollywood, and their close knit circle of associations with the military industrial complex.

    His journalistic integrity was superior and his work on JFK, the Boston Bombing hoax, and many other false flag events is thoroughly researched and balanced. I will miss the way Dave had of making us laugh, even in the face of the serious information he was delivering.

    Rest In Peace, David McGowan.
    Many may not know who you are right now, but soon millions will know your work.
    Thank you for all you sacrificed to bring us the truth. You will be missed. Much love to your family for their loss.

    Very sad to lose David McGowan. Very talented researcher and writer. What really stands out is his sense of humor that he wove into his twisted narratives like a trickster snake. I'm not so sure there's much behind the Laurel Canyon rock scene (besides a lot of drugs and sex and some good music here and there) but his work on the Moon "landings" was great and his work on the Boston "bombing" was stellar. That 3 hour plus presentation he did (above) with John Wells is worth every minute. By the time he's done there's nothing left of it.

    Thanks, Dave. We appreciate your hard work.

    what a shock!!!- I am truly saddened/dishearted to learn of McGowan's passing; alone his two books "Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon" about the true history behind the Hippie generation and his even more monumental "Programmed to Kill; the Politics of Serial Murder" are absolute milestones in learning about "life"-

    I'm absolutely devastated hearing about his passing...

    Lincoln's assassination;
    The Laurel Canyon stuff was eye-opening to me. As a child of the 60s and 70s, it was a little tough to accept our music heroes were basically the kids of the people they were singing "against." If I had read it years sooner, I may have dismissed it out of hand, but understanding how contemporary Illuminati offspring are made stars and pushed to the forefront made it easier to believe.

    Agree on McGowan's humor. There is some absolutely-ROFL stuff in the moon landings essays he did!

    Fantastic interview with an mk-ultra slave who helped influence the Laurel Canyon music scene in the 1960s. It backs up much of what Dave McGowan said. She also knew Charles Manson, who was the audio-visual tech for the cult. She describes herself as a party favour who distributed LSD.

    Well, that was terrifying.
    Thank you.
    I'm going to go have nightmares now. Damn!
    This woman is articulate and very measured.
    She absolutely sounds credible.
    She backs up the Bryce Tyler's story, Cathy O'Brien's story as well as what Ted Gunderson says.
    It sucks the more confirmation you get the less you can let yourself hope that this sh#t isn't real.

    Does anyone know if the Nancy Pelosi connection to Charles Manson is real?
    I've found data on it complete with a supposed picture of a young Nancy in the Manson family.
    But, I've also heard that this was fake news.

    Anyone have a better grasp on real vs Memorex?
