'Lone nuts' feature repeatedly in official narratives of assassinations. The rapid placing of blame provides closure to what might otherwise result in inconvenient and potentially damaging investigation of deeper forces at work, while providing a chance to stir up strife by inciting factionalism. The 'nut' aspect means that a rational explanation is not required, while the 'lone' aspect conveniently explains the lack of any supporting documentary evidence.

Lee Harvey Oswald, the archetypal "lone nut". In fact, he was a patsy, framed for the JFK Assassination. He himself was murdered while in police custody by another "lone nut".

Official Narrative

Lee Harvey Oswald, Sirhan Sirhan, Mark David Chapman, Gavrilo Princip, Bruce Ivins... Official historical narratives are replete with 'lone nuts' who - whether whether afflicted by extreme greed, envy, desire for fame, pernicious ideology or mental illness - all decide to act independently of any organisation to intervene in some deep political matter by carrying out a murderous atrocity. A paper published in the Journal of Forensic Sciences (and distributed by the US Secret Service) found that around 2/3 of assassins had previously been arrested (not necessarily for related offenses), 44% had a history of serious depression, and that 39% had a history of substance abuse.[1]

Problems

Many of these so-called lone nuts had close connections to the intelligence agencies, sometimes psychological control programs such as the CIA's MKULTRA or the several derivative programs. Sometimes there is evidence to suggest either that they could not have been acting alone, sometimes that their actions were irrelevant or even non-existant.

Sometimes authorities have files on those later disclosed as "Lone Nuts". As Peter Dale Scott has noted, there is often a flurry of activity in these files just before they go on to commit actions of which, authorities later insist, they were unaware.[2]

Sometimes elementary logical slips are made which naturally arouse suspicion. In the case of the JFK assassination, for example, a description was very quickly released which precisely matched the description of FBI's record on Oswald, but which was not a good match for the man himself[2]. The Warren Commission somehow managed to conclude the apparently contradictory findings that (i) Oswald acted alone & (ii) that surveillance of communications needed to be stepped up. As of 2016, the US government has still not released all its documents regarding the JFK assassination - prompting one to wonder why not, if Oswald was a lone nut who was already murdered over half a century before.

Patterns

The FBI claimed in 2009 that "We believe most domestic attacks are carried out by lone offenders to promote their own grievances and agendas."[3]

It is more likely that the US law enforcement system has a standard cover-up modus operandi or MO for dealing with a suspect who is marginally attached to intelligence operations, covert operations, even controversial operations which are opposed by other elements of the US government. It is to tell the public (as they did earlier in the case of Oswald) that the suspect "acted alone."

Premature Death

These 'lone nuts' often suffer premature death in suspicious circumstances - sometimes soon after public identification, such as Lee Harvey Oswald, murdered while still in police custody - sometimes before they have even been identified as such, such as in the case of Bruce Ivins, a 'posthumous lone nut', whose machinations just happened to fit very neatly together with PNAC's ideas about a 'new pearl harbor'. Very commonly, standard operating procedure is violated and long established rules bent or broken in favour of a snap judgment of guilt.

Lost and Found ID

Since they officially act alone, the question arises how the establishment can identify such "lone nuts". One method is the broader "Lost and Found ID" syndrome, whereby perpetrators (e.g. Lee Harvey Oswald or James Earl Ray) conveniently leave a trail of identity documents for investigators to pick up.[5]

Real Lone Nuts

Statistically speaking, there must be some real 'lone nuts', with bona fide mental problems and no connections to deep politics. Again, statistically speaking, if they attacked people at random, on very rare occasions, their targets might be figures of deep political significance. The most suspicious indication of fake lone nuts is a known connection to deep state elements such as the intelligence services.

"Radicalisation"

Full article: Rated 4/5 “Radicalisation”

An official narrative is being crafted to suggest that exposure to "extremist" material can induce vulnerable people to become lone nuts, a process which is generally described in connection with Muslim men, but which is used an indirect justification for increasingly totalitarian laws such as arbitrary censorship and infringement of civil liberties. In 2016, Dean Haydon, head of Counter Terrorism Command of Scotland Yard remarked about Muhiddin Mire "And what we found following his arrest is, certainly from his mobile phone and other digital media, that he had downloaded a vast amount of extremist material which we think certainly inspired him to conduct an attack here."[6]

"War on Terror"

Full article: Rated 4/5 “War on Terror”

The USA Patriot Act passed in 2001 contained special provisions for "lone wolf terrorists".

In 2006, without any announcement in the commercially-controlled media, the UK government set up "Fixated Threat Assessment Centre" which blurs the line between policing and medicalisation. Ostensibly to reduce risk to politicians, members of the British Royal Family, and other public figures, it was set up under the war on terror. It has been criticised as challenging free speech for effectively criminalising public criticism of the establishment. On 9 May 2014, UK Grenadier soldier Vivian Cunningham was committed to a mental hospital for asking questions about the status of Queen Elizabeth under Common Law court.[7] In 2014, the BBC reported Scotland Yard commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe that 'there was "growing concern" about the possibility of a "lone wolf" attack on the streets of the UK'.
