USA: Christopher Dorner Conspiracy Theories Abound As Body In Cabin Remains Unidentified (VIDEO)

 

The ballad of Christopher Dorner may have ended Wednesday in a hail of bullets in the snowy California mountains. Or did it?

As the country waits for officials to identify the body found near Big Bear Lake, a resort town outside of Los Angeles, the conspiracy theories that have been swirling about the accused cop-killer's saga have reached a fever pitch.

Reddit has been blowing up with various theories, including one that surfaced Wednesday pointing to a possible discrepancy in where and when Dorner's wallet and ID were found.

Gawker pointed out that Dorner's wallet has been reported at three different locationsthroughout the course of the manhunt: Lindbergh Field, also known as San Diego International Airport; the San Ysidro Port of Entry at the U.S.-Mexico border and the burning cabin.

The site's Cord Jefferson points out that it's possible Dorner had multiple IDs. It's also possible the media misreported the evidence, or, alternatively:

There's the possibility that the wallet skeptics have found the one flaw in a carefully scripted police conspiracy, and that the police made a conscious decision to lie to everyone about finding Dorner's wallet in multiple places, in an effort to...well, it's not clear why the police would do that. General mayhem?

A Facebook page called Christopher Dorner Death Conspiracy even questions how any ID could have been found if the fire was reportedly so intense the body was unidentifiable.

It's not surprising that Dorner "Truthers" have come out of the woodwork in droves this week -- after all, similar theories abounded following the Sandy Hook massacre -- but it is worth mentioning that mainstream media have taken notice.....

Death of a master terrorist: How the ‘Iranian Jackal’ was killed

On the fifth anniversary of the assassination of Imad Mughniyah, a.k.a. “The Iranian Jackal,” much new information about the hunt for the terrorist most wanted by Mossad and the FBI has emerged. It’s a story of high-tech surveillance and old-fashioned espionage, and it’s just starting to be truly told now.

Imad Mughniyah was 20 years old when he made his debut on the international terrorist scene in 1983, with a series of spectacular and deadly bombings aimed at Western forces in Lebanon. The 1983 Beirut suicide bombings included those on April 18 at the U.S. Embassy (63 killed); on Oct. 23 at the U.S. Marine barracks (241 killed); and on Oct. 23 at the French paratrooper barracks (58 killed). A litany of bombings, hijackings, kidnappings and assassinations followed, with an ever-increasing body count. 

A list of the attacks he is believed to have been involved in, directly or in a leadership capacity, reads like an index of late-20th-century terrorism: Car bombings of the Israeli embassy and the Jewish cultural center in Argentina (124 killed) in the early 1990s; the World Trade Center bombing of 1993 (6 killed); the Khobar Towers suicide bombing in Saudi Arabia in 1996 (19 killed); the U.S. embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998 (223 killed); the 2000 suicide attack on the USS Cole in Aden, Yemen (17 killed)....

UK: MI5 suspected Agatha Christie of blowing Enigma code secrets

The Queen of Crime, Agatha Christie, was so carried away by the plot of one of her thrillers, MI5 feared she accidentally gave away one of Britain’s biggest wartime secrets. According to the Telegraph, Christie was a close friend of Alfred Dilwyn “Dilly” Knox, a leading British code breaker, so MI5 was concerned when a character called ‘Major Bletchley’ appeared in her 1941 novel N or M?. The novel revolved around a detective duo Tommy and Tuppence, a married couple who tracked down German spies in Britain. In the novel they also encounter an old Indian Army major, Major Bletchley. MI5 feared that the character was based on the Bletchley code breakers’ knowledge of German plans during WW2.

The team at Bletchley Park managed to break the German Enigma cipher machines, enabling British intelligence to intercept German messages. 

While the Germans thought their Enigma code was unbreakable, it was important only a very few people knew what was going on at Bletchley. 

MI5 was anxious to find out what Christie might know and questioned Knox, who insisted that she could not possibly know what was going on at Bletchley, the Telegraph reported. 

Christie’s novels sold tens of thousands at the time, so MI5 was anxious to find out what kind of information she possessed and where her knowledge came from.  When the investigators questioned Knox, he insisted Christie couldn’t know anything about Enigma. They thought if they interrogated Christie themselves, it was bound to get out, so her friend Knox agreed to talk to the novelist. He invited her to his home and asked her why she had chosen to name her ‘fictional’ character major Bletchley.  “Bletchley? My dear, I was stuck there on my way by train from Oxford to London and took revenge by giving the name to one of my least lovable characters,” Christie explained.
