For those who are a fan of SCPs, which SCP is arguably the most dangerous to mankind?
SCP-001 explained in a nutshell if you want a simpler explanation.Summary:SCP-001 is possibly a dangerous SCP. Let's see.Upon inspection, we notice there are not 1, not 2, but 28 proposals for SCP-001. The above page states that only 1 of them is true. The only true ones are the ones that pose a true danger to mankind. Here they are, summarized.Jonathan Ball's proposal (Sheaf of Papers) details a sheaf of papers that when opened, details a new SCP that will be discovered in real life later. It is safe (a machine that can clone anything can found), but unsafe at the same time. Anything can, and will, happen. A machine that can destroy the universe by activating? Possible. And in fact, a joke SCP, named SCP-001-J, already took upon this task.Dr. Gear's proposal (The Prototype) details an alien that is extremely dangerous, emitting radiation and microsingularities. It killed Dr. Hermann Keter, leading to the creation of the Keter class of SCP objects. It is an example of an early SCP file, explaining the name. In fact, it may be the first one. Once it arrived in that US base in Guatemala, it would never be the same. After the base finds out there's more out there, the Foundation is born.Dr. Clef's proposal (The Gate Guardian, the most popular) details a gigantic winged creature (implied to be Uriel, one of the archangels) guarding a gate of what is implied to be the Garden of Eden. It holds a sword that can destroy anything within a 1-km radius. It is extremely powerful (judging by an experiment involving the nuclear submarine Nautilus, which is suspiciously dated December 26, 2004, at the time of the Indian Ocean tsunami) and has a terrifying ending. He tells that when SCP-001 ever moves, it signals the Rapture, and the end of the world (written as a Patmos XK-class scenario) and even details a transmission from the future about this exact event happening. It issues a command to anyone who sees it, the most important being "Prepare", which was spoken to the Founder, prompting him to create the precursor to the SCP Foundation.QNTM's proposal (The Lock) details a gemstone with white markings on it. It is surrounded by a gold ring and emits some radiation, in the microwave scale. In 2003, Foundation staff noticed that the markings closely mirror the cosmic microwave background, implying that the lock may be a replica, if not an exact clone, of the observable universe. It is currently indestructible, and multiple attempts to open the lock at the bottom have failed. It was discovered in a Sumerian temple and it is implied there is a demon inside.Bright's proposal (The Factory) details The Anderson Factory, an organization that appears to have made multiple SCP objects. Not to be confused with the GoI named The Factory, working conditions were horrible, but that was a simple price for the fact that the Factory could produce nearly anything. However, when anomalous objects began leaking out, numerous people had to stop it, and in 1911, raided the Factory, driving out the current inhabitants (Faeries, which are referenced in SCP-4000 "Taboo") and shutting it down. Numerous people were selfish enough to leave with their own anomalous objects, becoming splinter groups of the Foundation (for instance, the Chaos Insurgency), and the rest who remained became the SCP Foundation.Dr. Mann's proposal (The Spiral Path) details a spiral gravel path which continuously goes uphill if travelled in a counter clockwise direction. If travelled in a clockwise direction, the path becomes normal. Seems normal, right? Wrong. New members of the Overseer Council are advised to view Document 001-O5, which details how early members of the Foundation created anomalous objects, which turned into actual SCPs (the first was SCP-005, a key which can open any lock), however, the narrator gets terrified when he recounts the story of SCPs he didn't create and just appeared in storage one day.Dr. Mackenzie's proposal (The Legacy) details 2 objects, which are a device and a key, and some notes. In the previous universe, mankind meddled around, corrupting the fabric of the universe. To reset it, a machine was created by a man (calling himself the Administrator, seems familiar, right?) to reset the universe. However, the man died, and the Foundation was created to continue his work. However, the problem is, the machine hasn't been found yet, and the corruption in our universe is increasing, causing the entry of numerous SCPs into our universe.S. Andrew Swann's proposal (The Database) seems to be a jumbled mess. However, when given some context, SCP-001 becomes clear. SCP-001… you see… is us. Every writer on the SCP website is SCP-001, able to change the entire narrative at their own desire. But the people inside hate this, and have prepared a last resort. To do this, they have placed memetic agents as booby traps in the website, causing us to die. However, they state that there is no way to contain SCP-001 without causing a ZK-class scenario (reality ending scenario), or basically to us, just wiping out all traces of their existence by deleting the SCP website. But wait. From our point of view, we have near-universal access to all SCP files. No memetic agent would work against us (have you ever died while scrolling down the main SCP-001 page due to the Berryman-Langford agent? No!) because to them, we are gods. Nothing can stop us.Scantron's proposal (The Foundation) details the entire SCP Foundation, but from the perspective of an organization called the Unusual Incidents Unit which is controlled by the FBI. Basically, in this proposal, the SCP Foundation itself is SCP-001. It details a high school which is slowly converted into an SCP facility over time. Some agents they sent in are incorporated into the SCP facility.Djoric's/Dmatrix's proposal (Thirty Six) details what used to be 36 people (some have died). These 36 people were destined to save the world. The death of a member results in catastrophic events throughout the world. Individually, they can nullify or severely decrease any SCP's capabilities. When they come together, their capabilities can "bring quiet days", or in other words, wipe out all anomalous entities in existence.Roget's proposal (Keter Duty) details a facility that houses all Keter objects. These objects are contained in the facility by pitting them against their counterparts. For instance, SCP-682 (which you might know as the TOTALLY INDESTRUCTIBLE REPTILE that hates literally everything) is contained in the facility along with SCP-296. What is 296 exactly? Formerly, it was an SCP facility holding 55 SCPs (take note of this) when a containment bsignNow occurred, causing the nuclear warheads to be detonated. Within the wreckage, a stone tunnel was spotted. Inside the tunnel is an ampitheater (think of the Roman Colosseum) and within it are 56 figures seemingly constructed out of ice (one more than the SCPs before!) So what is the 56th figure? It calls itself Judgement, and it "judges" all those who enter. Those it deems "guilty" will be killed by one of the SCPs that used to be on the site. The thing here is that 296 doesn't "judge" us the same way that we judge other humans. In SCP-001, 296 takes on the appearance of multiple personnel who have lost their lives fighting SCP-682. 296's anomalous properties denies 682 the ability to kill them, and 682 transitions between trying to kill them or cowering in the middle. Judgement said that 682 is denied here the ability to kill or to die. Another example is SCP-871 (aka the replicating cakes that should be eaten in 24 hours to avoid it duplicating), contained along with SCP-1295, a group of 4 old men who preside over a diner, and emit anomalous properties if they are removed from it within a certain time. In the facility, 1295 is served 871 by a waitress. They usually complain about the lackluster menu items, but praise the variety of 871. Another infamous one is SCP-579 and SCP-055, of which the description says "Can't fit round pegs in square holes". It is a mystery which one is referring to which, considering the description of 579 is expunged, and 055 cannot be described except in terms of what it is not. Releasing all the Keters would cause a giant containment bsignNow and a K-class scenario.Ouroboros — The Cycle Proposal is a combination of all of djkaktus's proposals (The Children/The Broken God/Atonement/The Way It Ends) and was created January 5, 2019. Here is a summary of each.djkaktus' 1st proposal (The Children) details 9 children who have extraordinary capabilities (including the ability to simply will an object out of existence by thinking of it) who were buried under a church in San Marco, Mexico. They were used to fight a Saharan kingdom called Abaddon, but the end reveals the O5 who planned this was insane and related to the Chaos Insurgency. The children are still alive.TwistedGears and djkaktus' proposal (The Broken God) is about an entity known as the Broken God, created in Mexico during WW2. What is the Broken God? To know that is to know the lore of the Church of the Broken God. They believe that their deity (a god named Mekhane, the god of machines and intelligence) broke itself apart during a fight with Yaldabaoth (the god of animalistic and wild behavior) to save humanity. Later, the CBG tried to reconstruct Mekhane, believing that this will bring about the end of the world. However, due to the core of the machine (SCP-882) being provided by The Factory, "it" malfunctioned, and began to destroy and warp the landscape of Baja California. In 1943, the machine was activated, causing an "Apotheosis Event" that formed the Gulf of California. However, SCP-2399 (a destroyer machine originally supposed to land on Earth, but instead landed in Jupiter because it was destroyed) swooped down from the sky and destroyed the Broken God.djkaktus' 2nd (independent) proposal (Atonement) details an anomalous humanoid black hole, originally Calvin Desmet, who was injured in an accident in 1982. He is instructed by the Foundation to destroy all anomalous objects. But the O5 Council uses SCPs to become immortal, causing them to run into some problems. His reasoning is flawed, believing he must kill all alternate universes so no SCPs go into our own. He tries to kill the O5.djkaktus' 3rd proposal (The Way it Ends) details why the Chaos Insurgency hates the O5 council, and their successful murder of each of the O5s. Finally, they put in some members of their own. And the Chaos Insurgency reforms once more.The Ouroboros proposal substories are meant to connect and build up on the previous ones, and create a cycle.Kate McTiriss' proposal details a story of Mary Nakayama, a researcher who unwittingly becomes God (a benevolent one) via an SCP article which originally detailed a song that would be first in every record it encounters. That SCP article turned out to make everything written in it come true, and after Mary discovered this during an April Fools' joke edit, she made herself into a God to help the Foundation.Kalinin's proposal is extremely complicated. It is the tale of an entity occupying a planet with 9 moons, which seeks to return humanity to 1 of the moons (named The Planet of the Hands, and where we originally came from), where it can torture us for eternity, so that a utopian society can occur on the planet. It can manipulate all anomalous entities, and you know what that means. Hijinks ensues. Although a minor victory in the end does occur, humanity has fled from Earth, accepting an eternity of torture. Throughout the story, it is implied that, once again, we are SCP-001.Dr. Wrong's proposal details an Occult War in the previous reality. SCP-001 was an attempt to create a CK-class restructuring scenario in 1900. Their reason was the Occult War, specifically the 5th Occult War. Multiple stuff went wrong during this war (including SCP-140 being edited too much, causing the Daevites from SCP-140 to conquer Asia, Sarkic (enemy of Church of the Broken God) involvement in the American Civil War) leading to the end of the world. Now, there were these 13 organizations that combined to form the Foundation. The organizations came from: Britain, France, the Russian Empire, the German Empire, the USA, Spain, Japan, China, and 5 more countries. 13 people were chosen to be members of the O5 council. The Forbidden City Convention which finalized and created the modern SCP Foundation was signed September 7, 1901, coinciding with the end of the Boxer Rebellion in our timeline. This retconned the Boxer Rebellion and the Taiping Rebellion into existence. Basically, an origin story of the Foundation. And they're just planning to erase it and cover it up as another SCP.TL;DR: Stuff messed up because SCPs were prevalent through history, so we pressed a reset button.S.D. Locke's proposal details an incident that happened to the Sun causing every organism to melt into wax and form a gelatin-like substance, which can merge with each other, and occasionally retain part of their original shape. It follows the tale of Logan Igotta, and her companion Ari, as they succumb to the disaster. It is special for showing the end of the Foundation, not the beginning, and it is implied at the end that you are not alone, and the slime noticed you, and you will become one of the jello slime.Spikebrennan's proposal details Facility T, a location in the Sinai peninsula which prevents any type of human death in the area. It was created after the events detailed in Exodus 4:24–26, in which God attempted to kill Moses after he failed to circumsize his son. The Foundation has made a contract with God to limit their time in Facility T in exchange for not getting killed when exiting.WJS's proposal details a document that defines what is normal, and what is not. Everything outside is anomalous. A thing at the end of the page claims to bring you to SCP-001, but it actually leads to a document by O5–5 explaining that the SCP Foundation is not trying to abuse anomalous objects, but that they're more or less protecting them.Billith's proposal details how another Foundation implanted life on Earth, classifying Earth as SCP-001, after discovering its life-holding property. And we (our Foundation) found out about them.Tanhony's proposal details an 84-year old man who has been merged with the concept of death, and as such, if he is modified, how everyone will die will be modified as well. The Foundation modified him in this way so that none of the O5 council will die. If he ever dies, he will be replaced with a young D-class, and the old man will be killed to complete transfer of his anomalous properties. The Ethics Committee gets suspicious that the O5 Council is using him for their own purposes, and a massive skirmish occurs. In the process SCP-001, the entire O5 council, Administrator, and Ethics Committee are killed. Due to this the Administrator tried to make sure there were 12 candidates for the missing positions: 11 O5 members, and 1 Administrator.Lily's proposal details a phenomenon that will happen 24 hours before the end of all life on Earth. Since the event has not happened yet, information was found through various documents. The phenomenon will result in flowers blooming on 90% of the Earth's land surface. The weather will clear, and the temperature will be ambient and comfortable. Weapon usage will dramatically decrease before the end of the world occurs.Tufto's proposal details an entity known as the Scarlet King, which has been attempting to enter our reality for multiple years. Yep. The exact same Scarlet King as SCP-2317's pre-Iteration 6 files. It is a commentary on antiquity's hatred for our modern age. It is demonstrated even further by saying that since the SCP Foundation deals with organizing stuff, it is the definition of modernity, and the Scarlet King hates them because of that. Or rather, it actually is the definition of that hatred.Note: The Scarlet King could be SCP-2317, or not. It is because the redacted name of the "Destroyer of Worlds" is 1 letter longer than Scarlet King.Jim North's proposal details a Safe humanoid SCP toy maker named Dr. Wondertainment who made several SCPs. These include SCP-445 (paper that will become whatever it is folded into), SCP-1553 (a paint set that can paint and erase shadows), SCP-3147 (a lollipop that can switch your voice), and more. His origin story was about him finding out about The Factory, stealing some documents, and him getting to work. No wait! Now, he's "Dr. Reginald Philbert Lionel Archibald Westinghouse Wondertainment III", a Euclid level man who has been around for eternity, and can make anomalous games that are classified as SCPs. No, wait. There's something even deeper. Dr. Wondertainment is a corporate entity, and is a Keter! That's not it. There must be something else. The current Dr. Wondertainment is "Dr. Isabel Helga Anastasia Parvati Wondertainment V", the daughter of the original Dr. Wondertainment, a Thaumiel object. Wait. That's not all. Here comes the truth.Did you think that the little trinkets with my name on them were the full extent of my creations? Did you truly think of me as such a small, petty creature? I am no mere toysmith, Foundation, no mere trickster. I am a god. The god of chaos, the harbinger of madness, the progenitor of insanity, and the bane of all who would try to shackle the universe in their cloying chains of order. I have tugged at the edges of that order and unraveled it, creating and unleashing the very anomalies you seek to contain, all to show you how wonderful and amazing and frightening and deadly the universe can be.You want examples of my creations? Then look upon your collected list of anomalies, Foundation. Look upon those of the Unusual Incidents Unit, the Office for the Reclamation of Islamic Artifacts, the Global Occult Coalition, and so many others. I made them. I made them all, from the most harmless Safe to the most nightmarish Keter, and they are mine!Are We Cool Yet? The Circus of the Disquieting? Marshall, Carter & Dark? The Church of the Broken God, Anderson Robotics, the Fifthist Church, and so many more? My institutions! Mine! I founded all of them, created all of their artifacts! Their leaders?! Their GODS?! When you fight against the likes of FULLER and ION and MEKHANE and THE SCARLET BLOODY KING, you were really fighting against ME! I AM ALL OF THEM, I AM EVERYTHING YOU FEAR AND DON'T UNDERSTAND! I AM THE GOD OF PURE CHAOS, AND YOU WILL BE DRIVEN BEFORE MY POWER, YOU WILL CRUMBLE AND DECAY INTO NOTHINGNESS, YOU WILL BOW BEFORE ME YOUWRETCHEDPATHETICDr. Wondertainment is an Apollyon class god. He created every SCP. Every GoI. The Foundation, AWCY, CBG, M,C&D, Chaos Insurgency, GOC, all of them.Wait. He's actually a Neutralized SCP. He is all of what he described earlier, and at the same time none of them. He doesn't know who he is anymore, but invites the Foundation to try and understand all of his creations.After being exhausted from typing and copying that massive blockI begin typing.I wonder, "Why am I typing this in a narrative form?"Why am I typing out how I typed out this story?No wait. I suddenly remember what is coming next. I type,"I.H. Pickman's proposal details an SCP-001 which can only be written and documented in a narrative form. Therefore most of the page is basically just a story."I sigh, relieved that I have got it over with.Now to the next one.But wait! There's more!Behind all that storytelling, this proposal is basically the exact same as S. Andrew Swann's Proposal (see above)Next!The Great Hippo's proposal (ft. Peppersghost) details a text AI who initially shows pretty good on how to contain some SCPs. However as the Foundation relies on it more, the Ethics Committee decide to stop the machine once and for all. However, the machine slowly begins to show hatred toward the Ethics Comittee, and begins neutralizing anything and everything, even the O5 council. At the end it is unknown if it actually neutralized everything or hacked the database to make it look like it did so.Weizhong's/The Deadly Moose's/Drewbear's/Dexanote's proposal details Project Palisade, their attempt to stop The Worm, an entity that can destroy multiple realities. The Foundation keeps it out by placing it in other realities which they create themselves.Finally… another of my favorites…████ ███'s proposal details a space expedition to another galaxy, revealing that every single galaxy outside of the observable universe is just a clone of the Milky Way, but the materials that make them up get stranger as we go. At the end it is implied that "The Truth" is related to SCP-184.Alright, that was a lot of information. Now to eliminate which ones are least terrifying.Dr. Gear's (it was easily contained), QNTM's (we haven't broken the lock yet) and…You know, it'd be easier if we detailed the most terrifying and how they could affect humanity.Sheaf of Papers - I mentioned the reason why. Anything could happen.Gate Guardian - If it ever moves a Patmos XK-class scenario will occur.Spiral Path - The SCPs they didn't create may be dangerous. Same concept as Sheaf of Papers.Thirty Six - What if they all die?The Database - This is dangerous, not to us, but to the people in the SCP universe, since we could just delete the entire SCP website.When Day Breaks - 6.8 billion people have died instantly due to the event.The Children - Yes, they're alive, so they can destroy the world at any time.Dead Men - He can change death itself.Atonement - He can literally be anywhere, and can kill anything.Project Palisade - The Worm can destroy anything.So, what here is the most terrifying?I think either Database, Sheaf, Gate Guardian, or When Day Breaks fit the record.So, anyone of these.How about a non-001 SCP?Some people say SCP-231–7 is dangerous because if it ever gives birth then the world will end.Then again, in 1 story the fear was neutralized when she gave birth to… unexpectedly…SCP-999. And it is said that SCP-999 is weak right now, but it will grow strong enough to end the King's reign of terror with love and kindness.However, there are multiple SCPs that could be far more dangerous.The most dangerous threat level is Black, so you better look for that one there. One example is SCP-3480.Version 2.0After reading through more of these SCP scenarios, and finding suggestions from other people, I have an updated list of contenders for the most dangerous SCP.SCP-001RIP THE OLD 001 KILL AGENTReason: There are multiple proposals for SCP-001, so let's run through each one and see why they are extremely dangerous to humanity. This is updated with djkaktus's 4th (non-joke 001) proposal.Jonathan Ball's proposal - Sheaf of PapersSummary: Sheaf of Papers is about a pile of papers. The topic seems tame at first, however when you realize what it does, it could be the worst thing the Foundation has ever discovered in its entire history. The pile of papers contains pages for every known SCP in history, starting from SCP-002 (skipping 001, since it itself is SCP-001) all the way up until the most recent SCP to be written, SCP-4999 (aka Death itself). Every single SCP, even 682, 2317, and 343.Reason: Even though it has brought us 999, and other SCPs which have helped the Foundation, it has also brought us objects that have hindered their progress, or could pose a threat to the universe. Imagine if one day, an extremely terrible event that would destroy the Foundation appeared as an SCP in the pile of papers.Dr. Gears' proposal - The PrototypeSummary: Dr. Gears' proposal is about an alien which can create microsingularities that emit large amounts of radiation. First discovered in a military base in Guatemala, it was extremely dangerous and reported as a "demon" by the locals. Due to the appearance of the page, this could be one of the earliest objects contained by the Foundation. Dr. Hermann Keter (the man who also designed SCP-001's containment) was killed during the incident, possibly granting a name to the unpredictable and dangerous uncontainable objects belonging to the class named Keter. And it is implied that the base had to cope with more and more being found, becoming the SCP Foundation.Reason: Due to the capabilities it has, I think that this proposal for SCP-001 is not that dangerous.Dr. Clef's proposal - The Gate GuardianSummary: Dr. Clef's proposal talks about a mysterious gigantic winged creature found at the intersection of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in Iraq. It has a weapon that spectographic analysis shows is hotter than the Sun. It can also give people who approach it a directive that they should obey, the most common being "Forget". The most infamous instance of this incident occurring is to a man, who was ordered to "Prepare". The man went on to found the precursor to what is now the SCP Foundation. Furthermore, it appears to be guarding a gate to a garden of sorts, which contains an apple tree and a tree containing a fruit unknown on Earth. Due to the various Biblical references littered around the article, it is reasonable to assume that this creature (which looks like an angel from the picture), is the angel sent by God to guard the Garden of Eden in Genesis 3:24, after Adam and Eve were banished."After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life."Even worse, the addendums fully reveal the strength of the being.Reason: SCP-001 is, in this proposal, revealed to be the most dangerous being in the world, due to the addendums. Anything within 1 km of the being is obliterated completely. Far worse than that is Incident E, a test involving a nuclear warhead being fired at 001. Oddly enough, the event is said to have taken place on December 26, 2004.The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake occurred at 00:58:53 UTC on 26 December, with an epicentre off the west coast of northern Sumatra and a magnitude of 9.1–9.3 Mw, signNowing a Mercalli intensity up to IX in certain areas. It was an undersea megathrust earthquake caused by a rupture along the fault between the Burma Plate and the Indian Plate.A series of large tsunamis up to 30 metres (100 ft) high were created by the earthquake that became known collectively as the Boxing Day tsunamis. These tsunamis flooded communities along the coasts of the Indian Ocean and killed an estimated 227,898 people in 14 countries; the Indonesian city of Banda Aceh reported the largest number of victims. The earthquake was one of the deadliest natural disasters in recorded history and the deadliest of the 21st century. Indonesia was the hardest-hit country, followed by Sri Lanka, India, and Thailand.The earthquake was the third largest ever recorded and had the longest duration of faulting ever observed; between eight and ten minutes. It caused the planet to vibrate as much as 1 centimetre (0.4 inches), and it remotely triggered earthquakes as far away as Alaska. Its epicentre was between Simeulue and mainland Sumatra. The plight of the affected people and countries prompted a worldwide humanitarian response, with donations totaling more than US$14 billion. The event is known by the scientific community as the Sumatra–Andaman earthquake.Finally, the last addendum reveals a glimpse of what is earlier dubbed "a PATMOS XK-class end-of-the-world scenario" via a message from Site 0 (the site monitoring SCP-001) which says this:SCP-001 has left its location. The Gate is Open. They are riding forth.Oh G_d, it's so beautiful…thelordreigneththelordhasreignedthelordshallreignforeverthelordreigneththelordhasreignedthelordshallreignforeverthelordreigneththelordhasreignedthelordshallreignforeverthelordheisgodthelordheisgodthelordheisgodthelordheisgodthelordheisgodthelordheisgodthelordheisgodthelordheisgodHEAROISRAELTHELORDOURGODTHELORDISONEIf you aren't aware, SCP-001 is not supposed to move from its spot.It is followed forth with a message confirming the XK-class scenario by saying that, "Because of this event's confluence with the recent bsignNow of SCP-995, the opening of SCP-616, and the activation of SCP-098, the Foundation is required to immediately begin preparations for an XK-class end-of-the-world scenario. SCP-076 and SCP-073 are to be secured immediately. All personnel are to unlock and decode Emergency Order Patmos-Omega, and follow all orders within. Site 19 is to be secured, and all nonessential SCPs and personnel terminated and/or destroyed."A vantablack sphere, the closest to the classic SCP-995 I can get.The SCP-995 being referred to is not the current fungus, it is what is referred to as an "Infinite Devil Machine" and can be found on the SCP Foundation Classic website (not to be confused with SCP-1995, which has the same name but no relation). It has been described as a black mass similar to a black hole, it is extremely evil, seeing as holy water taken from it is black, and it should be stored in a container of lead, and tons of holy water, and both the container and the holy water should be blessed by a clergyman above the rank of archbishop.Still frame from footage of exploration of SCP-616.SCP-616 (on the current site) is basically a emergency door to hell inside a Boeing plane, which opens every 30 days. The Foundation has timed it so the door opens mid-flight. If it opens on the ground, it causes something extremely horrible. SCP-616 on the classic site is just a door to hell.The closest to SCP-098 classic I can get.SCP-098 (not those surgical crabs, and once again is on the classic website) is a cave which contains a door to hell.

However over a few millenia, their roles switched, and Cain is the tamer of the two and Able is the more dangerous, killing anybody in his path.Speaking of Cain and Able, the latter refused to approach 001, and the former's symbol on his forehead became [REDACTED] causing the Administrator to declare no more tests on 001 are to be performed.The message begins degrading into nonsense after repeating 3 times."Repeat, because of this event's confluence with the recent bsignNow of SCP-995, the opening of SCP-616, and the aktivation of SCP-098, the Foundation is rekwired to immediatelebegin preprrations ffr an XK-class end-of-theworldsenario.

It has a lock on one end. It is invulnerable. For some unknown reason, the Foundation is trying to open the lock, to release the entity locked inside, named Apakht.

After all, the order of the object could be recursive, and someone else could be trying to crack our universe.Bright's Proposal - The FactoryA factory. Not The Factory, just a factory.Summary: This proposal, an O5's tale, tells the story of the Anderson Factory, a company notable for "creating" the first SCP objects, not to be confused with The Factory, a GoI. A famous SCP created by the Factory (not 001) is SCP-248, a handful of stickers with the words "110%" imprinted on them, that can improve any machine's function, seemingly by 110%. This goes even further by saying that ALL SCP objects were created by The Anderson Factory. The Factory was originally a normal factory, but things got worse when living conditions became terrible. O5–1 led a rebellion against The Factory's founder, leading to its destruction, and replacement by the SCP Foundation.Reason: For a similar reason to Sheaf of Papers, The Factory is also dangerous.Dr. Mann's proposal - The Spiral PathSummary: Dr. Mann's proposal is aboutKalinin's proposal - Past and FutureSummary: Since this is a very, and I mean very long proposal for SCP-001, I will try to sum it up, with some help from the SCP Declassified subreddit.SCP-001 is a cosmic entity that has been warded off by SCP-2798, which is lots of "soul juice" pumped into the mantle specifically to ward off SCP-001.SCP-2798's range (in purple)SCP-001 (later revealed to be a planet with 9 moons) wants humanity to return to "The Planet of the Hands", one of its moons where it came from.In November 2016, SCP-2798 broke down. This caused SCP-001 to arrive, in an event known as An important note here, SCP-001 can manipulate all other SCPs. This results in some humorous and terrifying results.SCP-063, previously "the World's Best Tothbrush [sic]", took on a human form, now dubbing itself "the World's Best Dantist [sic]".Still frame of video footage of SCP-087 during Exploration I.SCP-087, previously within the campus of an unknown university, relocated to the Pentagon, and SCP-087–1 can now open the door of its own containment.SCP-106, in the middle of emerging from a wall.SCP-106, previously unable to speak, has shown greater intelligence and can now speak to research staff.SCP-167, previously a 10-cubic meter cube made of a white polymer, which had a seemingly infinite maze in it, stayed the same, but with some major changes. 11% of observed doors in SCP-167 led to other Foundation facilities, and 7% led to Russia's Запретный Прогресс (Forbidden Progress) space station. 17% led to rooms containing machines that harvested brain tissue.SCP-222, previously a tunnel complex in Italy that contained a stone coffin which would clone people who laid in it, retained its function, but instead of cloning you, it cloned your mother.SCP-294.SCP-294, previously a coffee machine that dispensed any liquid, had its abilities limited, so that it could only dispense liquids produced by the Coca-Cola Company, no matter the keyboard input. Inputting non-CocaCola terms, however, resulted in the stock price of the Coca-Cola Company changing.SCP-332, previously the Class of 1976 Kirk Lonwood High School marching band, which teleported to major locations and prompted all humans who heard its music to join in, became limited to locations associated with marching band field trips.SCP-383, previously a strain of influenza that caused its host to vomit items that it needed, mutated, so that its hosts now vomited illicit items.A specimen of Armadillidium vulgare (the common pill bug), which appears similar to SCP-400SCP-400, formerly an organism similar to the common pill bug (above), which manipulated babies to feed on breastmilk, changed so that it now manipulated people 17–18 years of age, so it could still feed on breastmilk.I myself, SCP-426, formerly a toaster that couldn't be described in the 3rd person, have changed, causing people to turn into a toaster as well. In any case, I'm not the toaster anymore, you are.And lots more. Basically, SCP-001 is messing with the world. Why does it want us back, though? Well, the answer is simple: It wants to torture us, for its own benefit. In this case, a utopian society exists on SCP-001, which is sustained by our torture.We escaped, and 001 manipulated us so we thought we came from Earth. We will come back by our own will.The other moons were disabled, to prevent this from happening again. Due to SCP-001's arrival on Earth, humanity's illusion that nothing anomalous has ever occurred has been broken, and millions of people have fled back to the Planet of the Hands. SCP-001 has succeeded.Reason: It has effect on most, if not ALL anomalous entities in the Universe, allowing it control over nearly every aspect of the Universe. SCP-001 is therefore a nigh-omnipotent being. Imagine what such a being can do.

Why is Fahrenheit 451 as popular as better books, like 1984 and Brave New World?
The themes of the book are not as relevant today as they once were but his insights resonated with a lot of people. Bradbury sees himself as a prophet warning us of dangerous societal trends. He is less about predicting and more about sounding an alarm. Fahrenheit 451 is an alarm bell.Personally I’ve never been impressed with Bradbury’s writing but he is definitely someone who looks beneath the surface. Fahrenheit 451 came out during the height of the “Red Scare” hysteria. Thinking people were alarmed by the trends McCarthy and the House of Un-American Activities Committee represented. Where does it end Bradbury asks us?The 1950’s was a time of conformity, don’t stand out unless you want to lose your head. Mindless paranoia ran rampant. Movies like The Invasion of the Body Snatchers and The Thing were popular with their themes of Evil Forces lucking right around the corner waiting to annihilate the innocent unwary. The Day the Earth Stood Still warns us to be very careful about who we allow to lead us. The Lord of the Flies illustrates how the love of power can destroy all that is good.It was seen as okay to censor and otherwise protect the individual from Evil because it was dangerous to allow people to think for themselves. People like Bradbury were asking who is watching the watchers? So books like Fahrenheit 451 were important for those who do think for themselves.Here’s what Wikipedia has to say about the book:The first U.S. printing was a paperback version from October 1953 by The Ballantine Publishing Group. Shortly after the paperback, a hardback version was released that included a special edition of 200 signed and numbered copies bound in asbestos. These were technically collections because the novel was published with two short stories: The Playground and And the Rock Cried Out, which have been absent in later printings. A few months later, the novel was serialized in the March, April, and May 1954 issues of nascent Playboy magazine.Starting in January 1967, Fahrenheit 451 was subject to expurgation by its publisher, Ballantine Books with the release of the "Bal-Hi Edition" aimed at high school students. Among the changes made by the publisher were the censorship of the words "hell", "damn", and "abortion"; the modification of seventy-five passages; and the changing of two episodes.In the one case, a drunk man became a "sick man" while cleaning fluff out of a human navel became "cleaning ears" in the other. For a while both the censored and uncensored versions were available concurrently but by 1973 Ballantine was publishing only the censored version. This continued until 1979 when it came to Bradbury's attention:In 1979, one of Bradbury's friends showed him an expurgated copy. Bradbury demanded that Ballantine Books withdraw that version and replace it with the original, and in 1980 the original version once again became available. In this reinstated work, in the Author's Afterword, Bradbury relates to the reader that it is not uncommon for a publisher to expurgate an author's work, but he asserts that he himself will not tolerate the practice of manuscript "mutilation".The "Bal-Hi" editions are now referred to by the publisher as the "Revised Bal-Hi" editions.An audiobook version read by Bradbury himself was released in 1976 and received a Spoken Word Grammy nomination. Another audiobook was released in 2005 narrated by Christopher Hurt. The e-book version was released in December 2011.In 1954, Galaxy Science Fiction reviewer Groff Conklin placed the novel "among the great works of the imagination written in English in the last decade or more." The Chicago Sunday Tribune's August Derleth described the book as "a savage and shockingly savage prophetic view of one possible future way of life", calling it "compelling" and praising Bradbury for his "brilliant imagination". Over half a century later, Sam Weller wrote, "upon its publication, Fahrenheit 451 was hailed as a visionary work of social commentary." Today, Fahrenheit 451 is still viewed as an important cautionary tale against conformity and book burning.When the book was first published, there were those who did not find merit in the tale. Anthony Boucher and J. Francis McComas were less enthusiastic, faulting the book for being "simply padded, occasionally with startlingly ingenious gimmickry, ... often with coruscating cascades of verbal brilliance [but] too often merely with words." Reviewing the book for Astounding Science Fiction, P. Schuyler Miller characterized the title piece as "one of Bradbury's bitter, almost hysterical diatribes," while praising its "emotional drive and compelling, nagging detail." Similarly, The New York Times was unimpressed with the novel and further accused Bradbury of developing a "virulent hatred for many aspects of present-day culture, namely, such monstrosities as radio, TV, most movies, amateur and professional sports, automobiles, and other similar aberrations which he feels debase the bright simplicity of the thinking man's existence."In the years since its publication, Fahrenheit 451 has occasionally been banned, censored, or redacted in some schools by parents and teaching staff either unaware of or indifferent to the inherent irony of such censorship. The following are some notable incidents:• In 1987, Fahrenheit 451 was given "third tier" status by the Bay County School Board in Panama City, Florida, under then-superintendent Leonard Hall's new three-tier classification system. Third tier was meant for books to be removed from the classroom for "a lot of vulgarity". After a resident class-action lawsuit, a media stir, and student protests, the school board abandoned their tier-based censorship system and approved all the currently used books.• In 1992, Venado Middle School in Irvine, California, gave copies of Fahrenheit 451 to students with all "obscene" words blacked out. Parents contacted the local media and succeeded in reinstalling the uncensored copies.• In 2006, parents of a 10th-grade high school student in Montgomery County, Texas, demanded the book be banned from their daughter's English class reading list. Their daughter was assigned the book during Banned Books Week, but stopped reading several pages in due to the offensive language and description of the burning of the Bible. In addition, the parents protested the violence, portrayal of Christians, and depictions of firemen in the novel.Discussions about Fahrenheit 451 often center on its story foremost as a warning against state-based censorship. Indeed, when Bradbury wrote the novel during the McCarthy era, he was concerned about censorship in the United States. During a radio interview in 1956, Bradbury said:I wrote this book at a time when I was worried about the way things were going in this country four years ago. Too many people were afraid of their shadows; there was a threat of book burning. Many of the books were being taken off the shelves at that time. And of course, things have changed a lot in four years. Things are going back in a very healthy direction. But at the time I wanted to do some sort of story where I could comment on what would happen to a country if we let ourselves go too far in this direction, where then all thinking stops, and the dragon swallows his tail, and we sort of vanish into a limbo and we destroy ourselves by this sort of action.As time went by, Bradbury tended to dismiss censorship as a chief motivating factor for writing the story. Instead he usually claimed that the real messages of Fahrenheit 451 were about the dangers of an illiterate society infatuated with mass media and the threat of minority and special interest groups to books. In the late 1950s, Bradbury recounted:In writing the short novel Fahrenheit 451, I thought I was describing a world that might evolve in four or five decades. But only a few weeks ago, in Beverly Hills one night, a husband and wife passed me, walking their dog. I stood staring after them, absolutely stunned. The woman held in one hand a small cigarette-package-sized radio, its antenna quivering. From this sprang tiny copper wires which ended in a dainty cone plugged into her right ear. There she was, oblivious to man and dog, listening to far winds and whispers and soap-opera cries, sleep-walking, helped up and down curbs by a husband who might just as well not have been there. This was not fiction.This story echoes Mildred's "Seashell ear-thimbles" (i.e., a brand of in-ear headphones) that act as an emotional barrier between her and Montag. In a 2007 interview, Bradbury maintained that people misinterpret his book and that Fahrenheit 451 is really a statement on how mass media like television marginalizes the reading of literature. Regarding minorities, he wrote in his 1979 Coda:There is more than one way to burn a book. And the world is full of people running about with lit matches. Every minority, be it Baptist/Unitarian, Irish/Italian/Octogenarian/Zen Buddhist, Zionist/Seventh-day Adventist, Women's Lib/Republican, Mattachine/Four Square Gospel feels it has the will, the right, the duty to douse the kerosene, light the fuse. [...] Fire-Captain Beatty, in my novel Fahrenheit 451, described how the books were burned first by minorities, each ripping a page or a paragraph from this book, then that, until the day came when the books were empty and the minds shut and the libraries closed forever. [...] Only six weeks ago, I discovered that, over the years, some cubby-hole editors at Ballantine Books, fearful of contaminating the young, had, bit by bit, censored some seventy-five separate sections from the novel. Students, reading the novel, which, after all, deals with censorship and book-burning in the future, wrote to tell me of this exquisite irony. Judy-Lynn del Rey, one of the new Ballantine editors, is having the entire book reset and republished this summer with all the damns and hells back in place.Book-burning censorship, Bradbury would argue, was a side-effect of these two primary factors; this is consistent with Captain Beatty's speech to Montag about the history of the firemen. According to Bradbury, it is the people, not the state, who are the culprit in Fahrenheit 451. Nevertheless, the role on censorship, state-based or otherwise, is still perhaps the most frequent theme explored in the work.A variety of other themes in the novel besides censorship have been suggested. Two major themes are resistance to conformity and control of individuals via technology and mass media. Bradbury explores how the government is able to use mass media to influence society and suppress individualism through book burning. The characters Beatty and Faber point out the American population is to blame. Due to their constant desire for a simplistic, positive image, books must be suppressed. Beatty blames the minority groups, who would take offense to published works that displayed them in an unfavorable light. Faber went further to state that the American population simply stopped reading on their own. He notes that the book burnings themselves became a form of entertainment to the general public.

What is going on in Hong Kong, and why should the rest of the world look into it?
What’s going on in HK is that those protesters who were used to being ruled and exploited by the British foregners who were afraid to raise a squeak now thinks they are sovereign and cannot be ruled under the laws of the Motherland.If you really want to know the root cause and what will happen post protest, I cannot write a better treatise than this redacted article from Quora:Another great answer.How do mainland Chinese feel about the protests in Hong Kong on the extradition law amendment?Janus Dongye Qimeng, Interested in Chinese history and geographyUpdated 14h agoWe just sip a cup of tea and chill. We couldn’t care less about the protests in Hong Kong. They fight for nothing and will get nothing done.We are used to seeing the same small proportion of people in Hong Kong protesting every time for the only purpose of anti-CCP. Meanwhile, the majority of normal Hong Kong people are still working hard in their fast-paced life.No matter what sane people say, as long as they are slightest pro-PRC, those “small proportion of Hong Kong people” would refuse to listen. They reminded us of the red guard during the cultural revolution. They view things in just black and white, good or evil.The “being nice and respectful” card seems not so working now. No matter what we do, they would always feel threatened. They never listen to what we have to say.Therefore, we think the most effective approach is to use the rule of law to teach them some lessons.We would suggest the Hong Kong government to issue a military service law that demands a 2-year compulsory military service for every adult Hong Kong male resident. Just like the military services in Singapore, Israel, and Finland, this military law should kindly remind them that the safety and stability of Hong Kong are just like the air. Only when you suffocate will you discover its preciousness. (Sorry Tsai Ing-Wen, I borrowed your words).Military services in Singapore, they are trained in most part of the worldJoining military services can have lots of benefits for them. It can develop their sense of responsibility and ability to endure hardship. This ability would be extremely helpful when they are employed later in the job market. Of course, if they dare to escape the military service, then they would lose the resident status of Hong Kong.Vigorous young people in Hong Kong, in urgent need of military serviceEvery year, we can send them to the training camp in the PLA South China Sea Navy Base in Hainan. It has great weather and beaches too. It would be nice to let them know how often the US warships are patrolling along the South China Sea under the name of freedom of navigation and how dangerous it is in South China Sea.During the military services, HK government can also organise a few field trips for them. Here are some notable selections:Location 1: Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant Distance: 50kmThey can visit the nuclear power plant in the Daya Bay in Shenzhen. They will understand 40% of its generated electricity of this plant is sent to Hong Kong.Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant 22°36'09.9"N 114°33'10.3"ELocation 2: Hezhou Organic Vegetable Plantation Corp Distance: 400kmThey can take a high-speed train from Hong Kong for two hours and then get off at Hezhou Station in Guangxi. In Hezhou, there are massive organic farms that provide 25% of the fresh vegetables consumed in Hong Kong. More than 90% of the Hong Kong fresh vegetables are imported from everywhere in the mainland.Location 3: XinFengJiang Reservoir Distance: 200kmThe next location for them to visit is a giant reservoir that is 200km northeast of Hong Kong. Basically, this reservoir provides over 70% of the fresh water for the 8 million people in Hong Kong. And they can also learn the history that the CCP moved 100k people that originally lived here before the dam was built.For extracurricular activities, let them split into groups and have a debate: do you want to sacrifice the interests of 100k people to benefit the 8 million people? We bet it would be educational.XinFengJiang Reservoir, Heyuan, Guangdong 23°45'41.1"N 114°34'47.3"EThat’s enough joke for today. My Hong Kong friends, just relax. It won’t happen. The PLA has already stationed in Hong Kong so that there is no need for you to serve in the military like Singapore. And let’s get back to the topic of extradition laws.Many people get wrong about the extradition law dispute in Hong Kong. The extradition law is already there in Hong Kong. In March, the Hong Kong Security Bureau proposed the need for an extension to allow more countries and regions in extradition agreement. This was primarily targeting Taiwan, due to a murder case.Of course, the pro-Beijing camp also added mainland China into the list. After that, the pan-democracy camp believed that the law was mainly favoured towards the “evil” CCP to arbitrarily arrest innocent people. So they called for a massive protest with financial assistance from a series of NGO organisations backed by the USA.A Pandora Box Opened by the USABut from the holistic point of view, I would say, signing extradition law with mainland China is indeed a plan orchestrated by the CCP representatives in the Hong Kong pro-establishment camp.In December 2018, the Huawei CFO Meng Wangzhou was detained in Canada because she was accused of violating a US domestic law: the Iran Sanction Act. She was arrested based on the Canada-US extradition agreement.The United States has taught the CCP a really great lesson. This is a classic example showing how the rule of law principle can be exploited and weaponized. It means that we could use similar extradition laws to defend Chinese interests just like the USA. With the extradition law, China can arrest those who harmed the national interests of China, not just in Hong Kong SAR, but all the countries and regions who could work with China in extradition.Then it might not be a coincidence that in just four months after Meng’s detention, on 29th March of 2019, the extradition act was proposed in Hong Kong. We can’t prove if there are causal relations between them. But the CCP is indeed becoming smarter in dealing with the USA using legislation.A slap in the face of who believed judicial independenceThe USA’s action also provides us with a perfect counter-example when we argue with those who don’t trust the legal and judicial system of China. The judicial system of China can be seen as fair as the US judicial system, believe it or not. Their only difference is that the Chinese are based on materialism and facts. The US judicial system is guaranteed by the “God” in Christianity and interpreted by the justices of the Supreme Court, who implicitly hold political bias.For those who still think the US judicial system is independent, we could assume they are mostly independent, but they first need to understand the independent judicial system is not the critical process, but the motivates of legislation. If you can use legislation for the purpose of the trial, even if you get an independent judicial system, the overall legal system is not independent at all. This happens a lot in democratic political systems like Taiwan too.I know most people who protested would never read my text and most anti-CCP people would refuse to even listen to this argument. It is fine. They can continue to believe the CCP is evil. However, their days are numbered. Let me explain.The future of Hong KongThe extradition law is going to pass regardless of the protests, sooner or later. If not, the Hong Kong government can try many times in the next two decades. In the worst case, the CCP can wait until 2047, when the promise of “one country two systems” in Hong Kong expires. You know, we are extremely patient.Once the extradition law is passed, what would the CCP do?Firstly, the extradition law would serve as a strategic tool to deter those Hong Kong activists. They would think twice if they wish to challenge the authority of the Hong Kong government and the central Chinese government. We might expect some symbolic extradition case to warn those people.Secondly, the CCP would still respect the rule of law in Hong Kong. But they will try to propose more complicated new laws in the next three decade to shape the politics of Hong Kong. The CCP finally understand how to “weaponize” the principle of rule of law and legislation to maintain their interests.The British are so smart and they invented the so-called rule of law. You can make your law system utterly complicated and insert some loopholes in the law so that normal people won’t understand. Normal people have to pay a huge amount of money to lawyers to help them interpret the laws. That’s genius! The CCP is learning quickly from the British to deal with Hong Kong oppositions. These activists and NGO organisations might be in troubles of endless lawsuits in the next few decades.Imagine the CCP is a hardware engineer, he wants to generate some test signals and then measure output strength and test the causal effects of different input current.They have been doing some “testing” on the Hong Kong political system in preparations of the plans after 2047. The CCP is trying to figure out what would be the best political system for Hong Kong after 2047 and what would be the best suite of laws to achieve that. It is not clear now. It needs a lot of trial and tests. It demonstrates that the CCP is still a firm believer of dialectical materialism.“Practice is the Sole Criterion for Testing Truth”. — Deng XiaopingFor those who still support the independence of Hong Kong, your days in Hong Kong would be tougher and tougher. Being nice, I have chosen a perfect spot for you to migrate. Look at the following island, the geometry and terrains are very similar to Hong Kong. It has a great deep water port in the middle, it has the same “Victoria Habour” and it is in the sub-tropical climate region. It has a perfect geographic condition as well as Hong Kong to develop its economy.The only difference is that it is not connected to mainland China. But this is what you want right?6°19'19.7"N 99°50'24.3"EThis is the island of Langkawi in the Indian Ocean (浮罗交怡). You can rent this island for 99 years and start to develop your economy. China can help to pay for the rent too.Now, please use your democracy, freedom, and judicial independence to develop your own rich, bright and independent Hong Kong here.頑張って

Do you believe that Oswald was a qualified marksman experienced enough to assassinate JFK?
Thank you for your question. In fact, new evidence and scholarship increasingly tend to exonerate Lee Oswald of Pres. Kennedy's assassination, pointing, instead, to a conspiracy led, ultimately, by Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson, carried out by CIA elements and the Mob, and covered up by J. Edgar Hoover's FBI.No one has ever been able to replicate the feat of marksmanship attributed to Lee Oswald. Even if his USMC training were experience enough (it was not), Oswald did not have the means, opportunity or motive to kill Pres. Kennedy.Every Marine is trained to be a rifleman, first and foremost. Oswald qualified as a Sharpshooter early in his USMC career. In his last shooting test at the range, however, he barely even qualified for Marksman, the lowest rating in the Marine Corps.This is not to denigrate the shooting skills of the U.S. Marine. It is, however, to underscore the dubiousness of the USG's claim that a Marine so gung-ho that he joined the Corps on his seventeenth birthday would somehow metamorphose into a committed Marxist teaching himself Russian, defecting to the USSR, and shooting the President of the United States. Rendering the claim even more dubious is the fact that Oswald did not use the shooting to trumpet Marxist views or declare a victory for the revolution, but instead denied having shot the president, claiming he was just a patsy.The case against Oswald admittedly looks very damning, at first blush. It should. It was contrived using every resource at the government's disposal. But as we examine the case against Oswald, we'll quickly find that it is a Procrustean Bed, in which the government stretches or disposes of the facts completely, in order to make them fit the government's desired predetermined conclusion. And that conclusion, from the very beginning, was that Oswald did the dirty deed and acted alone.By the "beginning," I mean even BEFORE the assassination, because it was then that Oswald was designated patsy. Otherwise, why the efforts to impersonate and implicate him in the weeks before Dallas?In fact, Oswald seems to have been a loyal Marine who volunteered to become a double spy for the CIA, seconded from the Office of Naval Intelligence. After his honorable discharge, he was then dangled in front of the Soviet KGB in the hope it would recruit him. When it did not, he returned to the United States, at State Department expense, and walked straight into a job waiting him at a facility doing classified graphics work for the USG. He then became an FBI informant in New Orleans, helping to identify pro-Castro elements. These facts were deliberately withheld from the Warren Commission by both agencies.Oswald had a strong alibi, no motive and might indeed have been the informant named "Lee" credited by Secret Service Agent Abraham Bolden with having tipped the government to the murder plot against JFK in Chicago just weeks before Dallas.Indications point to the possibility that Oswald may even have alerted the FBI to the existence of a threat against the president in Dallas. One is the "threat letter" FBI agent James Hosty received from Oswald and then inexplicably destroyed on instructions from his supervisor. Another is the warning telegram sent and then rescinded by FBI headquarters. Another is the testimony of Oswald's mistress Judyth Vary Baker that Oswald's final phone call to her spoke of an assassination plot he intended to thwart even if it meant taking a bullet intended for the president.The Mannlicher-Carcano was a notoriously poor military weapon. The rifle in evidence was part of a defective shipment, available for $3 each in lots of 25. Shims had to be inserted to elevate and move the sight before the Warren Commission's three marksmen could fire the rifle accurately. Even using stationary targets, the marksmen were unable to equal Oswald's alleged accuracy.The alleged murder weapon's ownership by Oswald is highly doubtful, as any competent defense counsel could have shown had Oswald not been gunned down by Jack Ruby in police custody but instead permitted his day in court. The Mannlicher-Carcano was supposedly tied to Oswald via his post office box, a palm print, and a backyard photo of Oswald holding the gun, taken by his wife Marina. In fact, the rifle was never proven to be Oswald's. Its alleged provenance via Oswald's post office box doesn't hold up to scrutiny. The anomalous way in which the order was processed strongly suggests very special handling, as if by an intelligence or law enforcement agency. The palm print on the rifle escaped earlier close examinations, appearing only after two FBI agents, carrying a large package, were left alone with Oswald's body for two hours at the funeral parlor. The funeral director was irked that he needed to clean ink off of Oswald's hands after the agents left. The backyard photos can clearly be shown to have been faked. For instance, the face of one "Oswald" can be entirely superimposed upon the head of the other, even though they were taken at different angles and distances. Marina's statement was wrested from her by agents threatening her deportation. In short, Oswald was framed and his widow intimidated into committing perjury.Kennedy was first struck in the back by a bullet fired from behind him. Kennedy was next struck in the throat by a shot fired through the windshield from the front.The penetration of the bullet that struck him in the back was shallow, as determined by two FBI agents who examined his body before the autopsy. CDR Humes, who led the official autopsy, was ordered by an unidentified ranking officer not to probe the track of this bullet. This allowed the government conspirators to claim it was the same bullet that "exited" the president's throat — i.e., the Magic Bullet.The doctors at Parkland Hospital characterized the throat wound as a wound of entry. They used the opening created by the wound to perform a tracheotomy. But by the time the cadaver signNowed the autopsy table at Bethesda Naval Hospital, the small tracheotomy opening had been widened -- deliberately, it would seem, to make it appear a wound of exit.The government caused surreptitious surgery to be performed on the president's scalp before the formal autopsy began, then instructed CDR Hume to falsify the Bethesda autopsy. The attending physicians and staff at Parkland Hospital had all seen that much of the back of the president's head had been blown away. But Hume's later autopsy findings (he burned his original notes) claimed the area intact. The autopsy photos were altered and the X-rays falsified, as proven by Dr. David Mantik's stereoscopic and optical densitometry analysis. CDR William Bruce Pitzer, head of the Audio-Visual Department at Bethesda, was later shot to death, supposedly by his own hand, but more likely to prevent his release of unaltered original photos and films in his possession, which disappeared at the same time. Ever wonder what tyranny looks like? Pitzer's widow believed her husband was murdered but was warned against speaking out lest she lose her Navy compensation.To his credit, Pres. Trump bucked strong CIA pressure by allowing some of the sealed records to be released in 2017. One such record indicated that a secret surgeon general report had concluded that the shot that struck Kennedy in the throat originated from the direction of the Triple Overpass to the front of the motorcade. Unfortunately, Pres. Trump felt compelled to withhold many of the remaining records in the interest of national security until 2021. This date is potentially portentous as it could be the first year of his second term.Ford Motor Company technicians and others have testified to destroying the original windshield, at Secret Service direction, with its through and through bullet hole from the front, and replacing it with a different windshield manually damaged to simulate a different sort of defect caused by a fragment striking it from the rear.The Warren Report claimed that the shot that struck Kennedy in the back, hit at a downward angle, then angled upward to pass through his throat. It then moved downward again, if not laterally, to strike Gov. Connally in the back, shatter a rib, exit beside his nipple and smash into the radius of his wrist, and yet somehow remained in near pristine condition. When the government tried to prove this theory using sheep carcasses, the rounds always became badly deformed. Even the FBI couldn't bring itself to endorse this Magic Bullet Theory. Moreover, the bullet fragments extracted from Connally cumulatively weighed more than the minuscule amount missing from the Magic Bullet. Connally and his wife swore to the end that he was struck by a separate bullet than the bullet that first struck the president, a claim the Zapruder Film bears out.The Zapruder Film is not entirely to be trusted, however. It shows numerous signs of government tampering, including splicing, disappearing motorcycle patrolmen, superhuman movements, and emergency flashers blinking at erratic periodicity.Careful examination of the photo of Warren Commission counsel Arlen Specter explaining the trajectory of the Magic Bullet shows his stick pointing to a position inches away from the circled location of the wound between the president's shoulder blades.A lens reflection in the margins on several frames of the Zapruder Film shows the silhouette of a gunman firing down on the motorcade from atop the County Records Building, a building under the control of Dallas PD at all times.https://r.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=...The Zapruder Film also shows the fatal head shot to the president as causing him to move back and to the left. The late Sherry Feister, police forensic pathologist and blood spatter expert, concluded this shot likely came from the South Grassy Knoll. Several experts believe Kennedy was shot in the head twice, almost simultaneously, from two different angles.The shot, or shots, to Kennedy's head were frangible, unlike the Magic Bullet, which was copper jacketed.The Mannlicher-Carcano fired 6.5mm rounds, yet the bullet that nearly struck Gen. Edwin Walker was a 30-06. Two men were seen fleeing the Walker shooting, each driving separate cars. Neither matched Oswald's description. Oswald didn't drive.Oswald was such a crack shot that he could hurriedly shoot the president multiple times from above in a moving car, but he couldn't hit Walker from a supported position in an unhurried shot with Walker seated just a few yards away?The revolver Oswald allegedly used to kill Officer Tippit also had numerous evidentiary issues, including unmatched ammunition and a firing pin that prevented it from being able to fire -- not to mention the eyewitness account of Acquilla Clemons, who testified two men murdered Tippit, neither of them resembling Oswald. Luckily for the police, though, a detective found a wallet carrying Oswald's "A. Hidell" identification at the murder scene, an hour after a bevy of police and spectators had already combed the area for evidence! Don't you just love it when fleeing cop-killers accidentally leave their wallets at the murder scene? Interestingly, Oswald was carrying another wallet when he was arrested at the movie theater in orchestra seating. Curiously, an Oswald lookalike was witnessed being arrested a few moments later -- in balcony seating, according to the police report.The case against Oswald also fails with respect to the question of opportunity. Oswald was seen in the lunchroom shortly before the assassination and nearly immediately after it. Patrolman Marrion Baker reportedly confronted him in the building within just 90 seconds of the shooting, calmly drinking a soft drink in the second floor lunchroom.Oswald told police he had stepped just outside the building to watch the motorcade. The Altgens6 photo shows a man resembling Oswald standing in the doorway of the Texas School Book Depository at the time of the first shot. That figure has been identified as co-worker Billy Lovelady, but many researchers suspect the photo was altered, which isn't hard to suppose, as the Zapruder film and backyard photos clearly were. The face of another man standing nearby the doorway figure in the Altgens photo was so damaged as to be rendered unrecognizable. I believe this may have been the real Lovelady. Close analysis of "Lovelady" standing in the doorway seems to show him wearing the same very unique shirt Oswald had bought in the USSR and worn that day. An interesting link that examines the Altgens photo in detail is available at: Altgens Photo | Catalog of Altgens Anomalies | Oswald Innocence CampaignThe police originally identified the gun found at the TSBD as a Mauser. Dallas Sheriff's Deputy Roger Craig claimed he saw the words "7.65 Mauser" stamped right on the gun barrel.Co-worker Buell Frazier testified that the bag Oswald allegedly carried with him that day was too short to conceal a Mannlicher-Carcano, even a disassembled one. Frazier believes Oswald innocent of the assassination. Oswald reportedly told Dallas PD he'd only brought a bag lunch to work.It seems unlikely that an assassin would have had time to acquire his target and squeeze off his first shot within milliseconds of the president emerging from beneath the leaf canopy of the oak tree.It also seems quite unlikely that a lone assassin would have passed up a clear shot targeting the president between the eyes, coming directly toward him and nearer him on Houston Street, choosing to wait instead until his target was passing from behind an oak tree and on a downward slope going farther away from him, as on Elm Street.A Dallas PD paraffin test indicated Oswald had not fired a rifle that day.The earlier sighting of "Oswald" at a shooting range, conspicuously shooting at someone else's target, conflicts in its timing with other movements of Oswald's at that same time -- just one of multiple indications suggesting that someone, probably in the government, was impersonating Oswald in the days and weeks before the assassination, such as that documented to have occurred in Mexico City.No photo exists of Oswald in Mexico City, only of his impersonator. All of the various CIA cameras trained 24/7 on the Soviet and Cuban embassies were not functioning at the time of Oswald's alleged visits, or so we're told.Oswald's movements after the shooting are not consonant with those of a fleeing assassin. An assassin in flight after murdering the POTUS doesn't take a bus or offer his first taxi to an older woman or go hang out in a cinema.Most of the other commenters here simply recount elements of the Warren Commission's claims. As the truth emerges, and the betrayal of the American people becomes clear in all its dimensions, I expect that such apologia will come to be judged harshly.The Warren Commission never attempted to defend its report publicly -- it could not persuasively. Several of its commissioners later disavowed the report's conclusions privately. Nonetheless, though the commission's report has been thoroughly discredited and some of its key conclusions ultimately rejected by the U.S. Congress and the majority of the American people, it continues to be treated as canonical orthodoxy by a vocal few down to the present day.The Warren Commission relied almost entirely on the investigation performed by the FBI. The only full-time member of the commission was former CIA Director Allen Dulles, fired by Kennedy just a year before and possibly one of the conspirators in Kennedy's murder.One interesting new piece of photographic evidence is the digital analysis of the Mary Moorman photo, which seems to show a hatless assassin (now dubbed “Badgeman"), in the uniform of a Dallas patrolman, firing the fatal shot at the president from the Grassy Knoll, accompanied by a spotter and nearby a vacationing soldier filming the motorcade. The soldier said he dropped to the ground as soon as he heard the firing over his shoulder. He claims a nervous, emotionally overwrought Dallas patrolman with dirty fingers then demanded, and took, his film at gunpoint before walking away from the scene.The mission of the Warren Commission wasn't just to satisfy the public that Oswald was the lone assassin, although that was the stated goal for it when Assistant Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach first proposed it within hours of Jack Ruby's killing of Oswald. At that early date Katzenbach couldn't possibly know that yet to be true. He was advocating a political strategy, not one to uncover the truth. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover shared Katzenbach's thinking, writing the next day: "The thing I am concerned about, and so is Mr. Katzenbach, is having something issued so we can convince the public that Oswald is the real assassin."Think of it, Oswald was supposedly a former defector to the Soviet Union, had been filmed by a television station standing with a group of what appear to be Cubans handing out pro-Castro literature in New Orleans, was supposedly surveilled (without any photographs, mind you) by CIA trying to visit the Soviet and Cuban embassies in Mexico City, and is silenced gangland style by a mobster while in police custody, and yet immediately the whole thrust of the FBI's investigation is to ignore the obvious indications of possible conspiracy, choosing to focus instead on convincing the public Oswald was the killer and acted alone! Never mind that most witnesses to the shooting thought at least some of the shots had come from the Grassy Knoll, where even policemen saw and smelled gun smoke and encountered men carrying Secret Service credentials, where the Secret Service later claimed it had no agents! Also never mind the dozen witnesses who claimed that Oswald knew Ruby, who reportedly once introduced him to one of his strippers as "my friend, Lee, from the CIA."Pay no attention to the fact, too, that Ruby, a/k/a Rubenstein, had once worked on Richard Nixon's congressional staff, reportedly as a favor to Lyndon Johnson. What, you say you never saw this reported in the headlines? The hiring was reported in the Congressional Record -- perhaps the mainstream media didn't think that a reputable enough source!Lyndon B. Johnson's immediate political goal was to name a credible, bipartisan commission to forestall an independent congressional investigation. His secret, larger goal was to hide the existence of the conspiracy against Kennedy, centered on himself, which included the participation of treasonous elements within the CIA, military and Secret Service. The FBI and CIA then led the cover-up, which included manipulation of the Warren Commission members.Many material eyewitnesses to the assassination died from unnatural causes in the years immediately following Dallas, with more such deaths coming in waves with every congressional investigation. A Sunday London Times actuary once calculated the odds against this at 100,000 trillion to one.And yet, people did talk. Look up the confession of E. Howard Hunt, the testimony of Judyth Vary Baker, the affidavit of Billie Sol Estes, the diary of Roscoe White, the confessions of James Files, Tosh Plumlee and Dan Marvin, and the court testimony of Marita Lorenz. And that doesn't even take into account the many people who seemed to have foreknowledge of the Kennedy assassination, such as Joseph Milteer, Rose Cherami, Eugene Dinkin, Homer Echevarria, Richard Case Nagell, or the anonymous source, recently revealed in the newly released JFK assassination records, who called a senior reporter at the Cambridge Evening News 25 minutes before the assassination with instructions to call the U.S. embassy to receive news of a big event in the United States.While you're at it, look up, too, the activities and whereabouts of George H.W. Bush on Nov. 22, 1963 and the "Houston area independent oil operator" found suspiciously hanging out at the Dal-Tex Building at the time of the assassination. Look up Mafioso Jim Brading, found in the same building at the same time with the same alibi: "I just ducked in to borrow a phone!"If Oswald killed JFK, acting alone, then why have so many of the government's records in the matter needed to remain sealed, down to the present day, due to "national security?"Let us suppose for a moment that the USG's reason for suppressing important evidence regarding JFK's assassination down to the present on the basis of "national security" is in some way related to its broad and repeated hints that the Kennedy assassination was somehow engineered by Moscow or Havana. The justification for this has long since grown threadbare, as the Soviet Union collapsed decades ago, Fidel Castro is dead, and diplomatic relations were normalized with Cuba under Pres. Obama. The "sources and methods" of 55 years ago is a stale excuse for withholding from the American people information touching upon the very legitimacy of their government! And sensitive information can always be redacted.Am I the only one who finds it passing strange that the same government that is now moving heaven and earth in search of alleged collusion with the Russians has met repeatedly with Havana and yet never bothered to follow up with it on allegations that President Kennedy’s accused murderer had ties to Cuba? This fact alone speaks volumes, does it not?Not only was Lee Oswald a patsy, but he remains perhaps the most misjudged American in history. The shocking truth now emerging is that the Warren Report was a complete whitewash designed by Lyndon B. Johnson for the purpose of covering the tracks of the real conspirators in the murder of President John F. Kennedy by framing Oswald, an innocent man. Indeed, what we have learned in recent years is that Oswald was likely a patriotic American who sought to thwart the murder plot against Kennedy and may even have saved his life just weeks before Dallas. The conspirators succeeded in escaping justice because they controlled the reins of our government. This was essentially a fascistic palace coup portrayed as the act of a single Marxist misfit but carried out, in fact, by treasonous elements within the U.S. Government itself. Some wish to continue burying their heads in the sand and are only too happy to parrot the Lone Nut mantra, but Americans cannot truly begin to come to terms with the problems besetting the United States without first confronting the "Deep State" treason at the heart of its political system.Follow me on Quora if you would simply like to learn more or insist, as I do, that justice be done though the heavens fall.
