Here is more on the May 4, 1970 Kent State University anti-war protest that turned deadly when four students were shot dead by the Ohio State National Guard. For those unfamiliar with the event, National Guard troops were sent to KSU by the Governor of Ohio in response to destructive violence when protesters burned down an ROTC (military recruitment) building, with more protests being planned. For an explanation as to why the National Guard opened fire, Guardsmen believed they were being fired upon. To this day confusion still reigns as to exactly what happened. What is clear is that the radical left used the incident to further inflame anti-war/anti-American sentiments among students across the country.
Doing research on that incident within newspaper archives in cities near KSU, I found an article dated shortly after the incident, reporting on a KSU student and Viet Nam war veteran who spoke about an effort by the radical left to misinform students, and suggested that KSU was targeted for protests because of the campus presence of a major crime lab, the ROTC, and the liquid crystal research lab funded by the government (DOD).
Some theorists suggest the shooting was a planned event, ie false flag. The presence of both military connected facilities on that campus at the time does lend support to that theory. If you are going to plan a false flag, or stage an event for optics regardless the intention, having a base of operation already on site is a good place to begin. How and why exactly the DOD would have been working with the radical left is the mystery. A mystery, that is, until you add an element of possible infiltration by black hats somewhere in the DOD and CIA. Possibly even the state govt in Ohio? Something tells me digging will turn up a few usual suspects.
Digging further into the liquid crystal research center on Kent State University at the time, I found a few things worth considering. One of which is very surprising. Then again, maybe not so surprising since Q sent us scrambling down rabbit holes, all of is our choice, of course.
The DOD program which funded the liquid crystal research at KSU, beginning in 1967, was called Project Themis, an effort begun by the Johnson administration to have smaller colleges involved with research beneficial to the DOD. Further digging reveals that Project Themis had another name during it's infancy, called… Project Minerva. That's right, Minerva, the Roman goddess of strategic warfare. Oh, and Minerva had a pet. Wanna guess what kind? If you guessed an owl, you're right! Other "symbols" for Minerva include the snake, spiders, and a flowering plant known as hellebore. Interesting name for a plant. It turns out hellebore is highly toxic, and has been used in both witchcraft, and an ancient form of chemical warfare to poison humans.
One last thing, Minerva still figures prominently in current military symbology. Hello, Westpoint Military Academy!
