This website does not track you.
It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.
Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.
I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.
Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.

This isn’t as unusual as you think. Rare, yes, but it happens. Most famous example — Bruce Ivins, mailing anthrax, among the motivations of which seemed to be convincing the nation of the need for continued counter-anthrax research and vaccines, with which he was intimately involved. Of course, he was nuts, too.
And the guy’s name escapes me but there was a man (or a couple of them) in the Pacific Northwest who tried to sabotage high power transmission lines to make the point that terrorists could easily damage the power grid. He was sent away.
And you know there has been no shortage of people in the employ of DHS and various military and intelligence agencies who were (and are) regularly engaged in brain-storming what terrorists might do in this country and creating mock-up situations. They just do it professionally sanctioned. They don’t go as far as pulling the trigger.
But I’ll tell you, if you dig around on my domain/blog enough you’ll find examples like DHS’s manufacture of an improvised cyanide bomb and photographs of it distributed nationally to various facilities as part of an alert on what to potentially look for from those crafty al Qaeda men in the early years after 9/11. In the entire war on terror was a cyanide bomb ever recovered from said al Qaeda-men? Not that’s been documented.
I could go on for about a book chapter length but you see where I’m going with this. In fact, books have been written. Not any –>I<– would write but chock full of scenarios and make-up plans and walk-abouts with titles like "America the Vulnerable."

I don’t think it’s at all surprising, except for the degree of stupid in this particular case. The right is all in for “for your own good” scenarios. I am convinced that one reason they are so fond of “false flag” theories is that “false flag” is a thing that they do.
