![]() Lee Harvey Oswald, the 'lone nut' framed for the JFK Assassination, himself killed by another 'lone nut' | |
'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. |

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.
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'.
Patterns
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
- Full article:
Lacking confederates with whom to confer, the question arises how the establishment can identify. One method is the "Lost and Found ID" syndrome, whereby a lone nut (e.g. Lee Harvey Oswald or James Earl Ray) leaves a convenient trail of identity documents for investigators to pick up.[4]
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. Suggestions of real 'lone nuts' are welcome.
Fixated Threat Assessment Centre
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 and has been criticised as criminalising 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.[5]
