How a conspiracy theory closed part of a major US seaport
CNN Money ^ | 16 June 2017 | Donie O'Sullivan  

Posted on 06/19/2017 1:28:06 AM PDT by blueplum

The theory: a cargo ship with a "dirty bomb" was just outside of Charleston, South Carolina.

The notion came to life during a live YouTube broadcast Wednesday evening.

During the broadcast, conspiracy theorist George Webb initially claimed a "source" had told him that there was "a dirty bomb planned for a major city." Based on the information from the "source," Webb said he believed Memphis might be the target.

The Coast Guard said in a further statement provided to CNN that the source of the threat had been detained by authorities for further questioning. The statement did not mention Webb's name, however.

But Webb, whose full name is George Webb Sweigert, was in police custody in Zanesville, Ohio, on Thursday morning.

He was, at the time, due in court, having been found in his car and suspected of being under the influence of alcohol.

I think George Webb has more credibility than the Special Counsel Mueller

It is rather interesting that the FBI knew exactly where G. Webb was in Ohio when he didn’t tell the Coast Guard where he was and he hadn’t told his viewers on Youtube where he was.

Of course the NY Times and CNN didn’t find that in the least bit interesting.

I don't know anything about the guy; he seems to like rabbit holes and twisted logic and is very figity. Did see a video by his brother, Acton, where the brother claims that George is suffering from mental issues (schizophrenic?).

Here's what intellihub has to say re: DWI:

“Unrelated to the Coast Guard arrest, George Web was allegedly independently detained in Ohio by the Zanesville Police for “driving under the influence of alcohol,” according to his co-host Goodman who released the info on a Friday morning internet transmission.

Update (June 15, 2017 @6:27 p.m. EST:
A man claiming to be George Web’s “brother” (David Swaggart) posted a video to the Web of Trust YouTube channel which explains how George was stopped and detained by police for driving under the influence following the recent Port of Charleston dirty bomb hoax which prompted the U.S. Coast Guard to search a cargo ship moored in a South Carolina port which yielded no results.

And you would be right Ernest!
By the way CNN screwed the entire story up on purpose as usual.Problem is they had George Webb pegged as a wacky conservative just doing his thing. Sorry numbnutters Webb is actually a dem and a Bernie Sanders supporter.But he honors the truth and is outing some of the biggest named dems around.
Turns out Webb never called the Coast Guard,two of his video viewers did and when the Coast Guard contacted Webb he told them in no uncertain terms not to shut done the friggin’ port just look for the containers that had a diplomatic pouch but in good ol us govt. style they did shut down part of the port.One remaining question is that it appears four containers may have given off some radiation levels,hard to get the info for now but talk about vindication if true.Seems one of the govt. agencies coast guard of customs must have ratted webb out as who knows what and that was parlayed into the FBI interrogating Webb as some kind of looney.He is anlythhng but.
Just today webb released another video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LjmrHz93jw

He is announcing a 100 million dollar lawsuit against the FBI since McCabe has been on his ass for months now. Seems he is getting too close to the truth and that's the last thing the fbi under McCabe wants. By the way Webb will try and get Larry Klayman to do the suit which will probably be a class action with some of his better crowdsource supporters involved as well.
ANyone who has listened to Webb's videos should know by now that you are dealing with a near genius who can put together raw data like no one else and assimilate it until he comes together with the truth. the kinda guy whose father invented the cordless phone back in the 60’s and had a patent.
As far as the jail time in the arm pit of Ohio goes Webb had been following a colleague in his own car late at night forget the reason, this guy never stops working, and decided to pull over and rest or review his notes.
Keys were out of the ignition and near the dashboard.
A policeman comes by motions for Webb to put the window dwop down and asks if he has been drinking.He had been.
Webb refuses to answer the question. He is then asked to take a field sobriety test and also declines.
Next thing he knows he spends two days in jail until Jason Goodman comes to bail him out.
Somewhere in that time frame the FBI grilled him for several hours as well.
So in Ohio if you park your car and have been drinking you can wind up in jail. But I think it's more likely if your name is George Webb Sweigert you will go to jail,Mark Jones/Tom Smith would get a warning or a parking ticket.

Exactly!

And he does explain to those helping with research, and gives them credit.

You will get perspective and where good summaries when he does the occasional interviews with more established talk shows like Richie Allen in the UK.

His priority is to chase leads....and man he is really on the Awan Brothers.

George had admitted to charges of ‘impaired’ which he claims is ‘one step below’ DUI. Here’s Jason’s tape of the CNN reporter call-in, and George recorded saying it was ‘impairment’.

(Mark 1:23)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmjNoJSAw5c

I believe it was the ‘take two’ video of Jason’s where George states he refused the breathilyzer.

I’m not sure of the rules in Ohio, but anyone refusing a field breathalyzer (as George claims he did) is automatically deemed DUI in Calif, and lose their license for a year (not sure about fines).

Watched it earlier. He has an ability to put many things together. He is putting things together we have known for years. Thanks for the ping.
