Kennebunkport Warning

When I was living in DC in 2008 I amused myself in many ways. I went to a Ron Paul rally, ate at an ISKCON funfair, talked to LaRouchies, and read a newspaper called the American Free Press. When I sat in my barebones dorm room reading that newspaper, I felt like I was in a bunker in the Idaho Panhandle. It was really that good. I think the style of the American Free Press is exemplified by one article which mentioned the Kennebunkport Warning-- a document so bizarre it stuck in my head, and I spent half an hour this evening Googling dumb things like "cindy sheehan declaration hoax" until I found it again.

The Kennebunkport Warning is a hoax which attracted attention because it was supposedly signed by peace activists. That's right-- this is so far on the fringe that it attracted attention because the author claimed it was signed by Cynthia McKinney and Cindy Sheehan. He had actually got them to sign a blank sheet of paper claiming it was a petition for impeachment, then printed his own document on top of their signatures. Without further ado:

THE KENNEBUNKPORT WARNING
To the American people, and to peace loving individuals everywhere:
Massive evidence has come to our attention which shows that the backers, controllers, and allies of Vice President Dick Cheney are determined to orchestrate and manufacture a new 9/11 terror incident, and/or a new Gulf of Tonkin war provocation over the coming weeks and months. Such events would be used by the Bush administration as a pretext for launching an aggressive war against Iran, quite possibly with nuclear weapons, and for imposing a regime of martial law here in the United States. We call on the House of Representatives to proceed immediately to the impeachment of Cheney, as an urgent measure for avoiding a wider and more catastrophic war. Once impeachment has begun, it will be easier for loyal and patriotic military officers to refuse illegal orders coming from the Cheney faction. We solemnly warn the people of the world that any terrorist attack with weapons of mass destruction taking place inside the United States or elsewhere in the immediate future must be considered the prima facie responsibility of the Cheney faction. We urge responsible political leaders everywhere to begin at once to inoculate the public opinion of their countries against such a threatened false flag terror operation.

There's something about this that really unfolds one's imagination, Illuminatus style. What I would give to be living in that bunker thinking that this was the real thing, and McKinney and Sheehan had received top secret information that Cheney (not Bush?-- no, Cheney is far more sinister) was about to start a false flag operation. I'd probably start cleaning my rifle right then and there. The ominous name "Kennebunkport Warning" is a nice touch.

For some bizarre reason, the Warning received additional signatories after it was published, apparently people who just believe it's true despite the lack of any evidence. Here's a little rundown:
