O.K., I am confused. And unhappy. And frustrated, because when you’re confused and unhappy with the Internet, there is really sweet bugger all you can do about it. There’s not a human being we can call up and yell at.
I can write about it here, but it’s mostly just to vent. If they were to decide to scrub this post as well, there wouldn’t be a damn thing I could do about it.
Here’s the issue. Yesterday, I saw a post about how the USS Nimitz, a rather old and soon scheduled for retirement aircraft carrier, was being sent to the Middle East. The text of the meme went on to speculate that this was a false flag episode in the making.
I shared that, because I considered it a definite possibility, and wanted to be on the right side of history in case some shady shit went down.
Well, browsing through my feed a couple of minutes ago, I noticed that that meme was gone from my page, and in its place was some boring, platitudinous blurb about how we should not be afraid to stand up to authority – a full on, Democrat bullshit kind of post which addresses no specific issue, just praises people for standing outside and holding signs.
So, I went looking for the original meme and the internet sent me first to an article in something called The National, which labeled the meme a conspiracy, because all those people on the internet are wacky conspiracy theorists, and they (The National) even brought up how it was compared to the attack on the USS Liberty, which, according to the National, was also a wacky conspiracy because it was CLEARLY a case of mistaken identity, because the Israelis said so.
The Liberty, (for those who’ve never heard of it, and they are numerous because it was barely covered at the time) was a US ship that was attacked by the Israeli air force in June of 1967, killing many American sailors. We crazy conspiracy theorists tend to think that that was a false flag attempt, the idea was to sink the ship, and that would have given Lyndon Johnson the excuse he needed to send troops to the Middle East. But the ship didn’t sink.
Anyway, my first thought was that perhaps I screwed up, shared a meme I hadn’t intended to. It’s possible, I have fat fingers and tend to post things when it’s late at night, or when I’m high as a kite. But, no, the comments matched my original post. Somebody actually switched it. Whether this was the people at Levi Sanders Meme Stash, or Mark Zuckerberg himself, or some nefarious government organization which is now controlling all Facebook content, I do not know.
But, I’m pissed off about it. And I wanted everybody to know.
Also, there is this thought: It may have been a planned false flag, but now that the meme is out there, it’s not. Whoever originally posted that meme might have saved the lives of all the personnel on board.
