About that Ka-Boom - Georgia Guidestones

| No Comments

One of them was "blown up" the other day.  The remaining ones were demolished later that morning.
They were under video surveillance but the cameras did not show anyone coming up to plant explosives.
A curious mystery - from Peter at Bayou Renaissance Man:

The Georgia Guidestones "bombing" may not have been a bomb
By now I'm sure most readers know that the so-called Georgia Guidestones were damaged by an explosion on Wednesday morning.  The rest of the monument was demolished soon afterwards, allegedly due to "safety concerns".

I have grave doubts about the news coverage of the incident so far.  I haven't commented until now because I've been waiting for more details:  but it looks like a cover-up may be in progress, so details may be conspicuous by their absence.  That being the case, I'll put out a few ideas for consideration.

First, there's no evidence that a bomb (as such) was involved.  Looking at video of the explosion, it appears very likely that it came from some sort of missile.  The Intrepid Reporter has done a good job of explaining why he thinks that.  Based on my own experience (combat and otherwise) in Africa, I'd say he's pretty much on the mark in what he says.  When I saw the first images of the damage, that was my immediate reaction, too.  Go read his analysis for yourself.

I'll go further.  Based on initial video of the damage, I can't see any reason to demolish the remaining panels of the Guidestones.  They were just standing there, not hurting anybody.  If there was any risk of them falling, it could have been attenuated by simply cordoning them off, then attaching supports to keep them in place.  Neither appears to have been even attempted.  Instead, they were brought down with almost indecent haste.  That looks to me like an attempt to prevent anyone else analyzing the debris patterns, blast and fragmentation damage from the demolished panels, etc. - all of which would speak volumes to an investigator who knew what he/she was looking at/for.

Pretty clear on the video. RPGs are not exactly something you find laying around or fabricobble in your shed...
