Got that?Vialls spins a compelling tale, which is a given. If he didn't, he'd have convinced nobody. But his arguments are mired in minutiae, and there's no theoretical smoking gun to be found. He points to discrepancies in times and locations, and picks at eyewitness statements.The most intriguing part of Vialls' conspiracy is his claim of who actually committed the Port Arthur massacre and why."If you are not a fair minded person and refuse to believe anything but what you have already read in the pulp fiction tabloids then my advice is to click onto another page now because what follows is not a fiction story, these are facts based on scientific investigations from which you can draw your own conclusions, as I have."
The culprits, Vialls claims, were specialists comprised of retired members of American and Israeli special forces. Their motive? To force the government to enact gun legislation that would leave our citizens defenseless.He cites the naming of Lee Harvey Oswald as the JFK assassin as irrefutable evidence that government-led conspiracies happen all the time. Vials' favourite rambling Oswald theory revolves around his belief that the story was planted too early, with planners failing to take into account the time difference in New Zealand, where The Christchurch Star alleged printed the story before Oswald had even been accused."All of the hard evidence at Port Arthur bears the distinctive trademark of a planned 'psyop', meaning an operation designed to psychologically manipulate the belief mechanisms of a group of people or a nation for geopolitical or military reasons."
"Over the years television viewers have been subjected to such a barrage of Rambo-style television programs that most now believe every time Sylvester Stallone points a gun and pulls the trigger, 20 bad guys immediately fall down dead from lethal shots to the head or heart."
It's a compelling point, and the "CSI effect" has established that our expectations of what can be achieved in the real world are deeply influenced by what we see in popular culture. But unless Vialls believed that the vast majority of cases in which a single person shoots a lot of people are false, then he is painting very broad strokes with a very wavy hand.What the media does like to perpetuate is the idea of vast networks operating under our very noses. The latest James Bond film Spectre was the ultimate example of this, showing that all the previous shadowy organisations depicted in these films were actually being controlled by another shadowy organisation. A mega-shadowy organisation! And of course they love showing this. It makes for great storytelling. We love watching puzzles, and we love believing that puzzles exist in the real world.Unfortunately, the world is not filled with Spectres and Blofelds pulling strings from afar. Nor is it filled with Martin Bryants. The difference is that the Bryants actually exist.Lee doesn't believe in conspiracy theories, but he does believe in Twitter.The culprits, Vialls claims, were specialists comprised of retired members of American and Israeli special forces…
