Mark Hoppus of Blink-182 says he helped capture Saddam Hussein. Wait–what?
While Tom DeLonge continues to prove that the truth is out there with UFOs, UAPs, government coverups, and what he called “The Phenomenon,” bandmate Mark Hoppus is talking about how he helped capture Saddam Hussein.
The Iraqi leader was overthrown in the spring of 2003 and was forced to flee Baghdad. After months of searching, he was later found hiding in a hole in the ground near Tikrit that December. Execution followed.
When he was on the lam, there were countless rumours about his whereabouts. Given the number of people looking for him (not to mention all the snitches in his former regime), it’s amazing that he was able to evade capture for so long. This is where Hoppus comes in.
In early 2003, Hoppus says he was aboard the USS Nimitz, an American aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf (Blink was performing for the troops.) At some point, he had a conversation with an admiral during which he gave some insights into what he thought Hussein might do now that he’d be ousted. “Sir,” he said, “I have a plan for how to catch Saddam Hussein.”
From the Daily Mail:
“According to Hoppus, his plan involved the use of drones capable of broadcasting ultrasonic frequencies. The frequencies would then be used to triangulate Hussein’s location when he released his video messages from an unknown location.
“The star bassist suggested that if Hussein released a videotape, that the time code could be captured, which in turn would allow authorities to triangulate the embattled Iraqi president’s location.
‘”Sir, what about having drones fly all over the region in carpeting patterns, broadcasting time codes above the level of human hearing but at the level that a video recording would catch it,’ he claims to have pitched.
“‘Then, the next time he releases one of his videos, you can listen to it, pull the ultrasonic data, and triangulate the drones you have flying all over.'” Months later, Hussen was captured.
True? False? The Nimitz was involved in Operation Red Dawn, the mission that resulted in finding Hussein. Sure makes for a good story, huh?
