This article, “The Thurston Highschool Shooting was Fake” by Miles Mathis, published on April 5, 2024, argues that the Thurston Highschool Shooting of 1998 was staged. Mathis bases his opinion on “easy internet research.” He was prompted to investigate by a reader who asked him to comment on an article by Agent131711 about a dinosaur hoax. Mathis distrusts Agent131711, viewing him as a potential agent trying to misdirect readers. He criticizes Agent131711’s analysis of the Hawaii fires, stating that Agent131711 claims they were real and caused by Smart meters, while Mathis believes the published images were cgi. Mathis also notes that Agent131711 failed to mention that the Hawaii event was run by the same person who organized the alleged Las Vegas shooting.

Mathis then examines Agent131711’s articles on pre-Columbine shootings, which are behind a paywall. Mathis finds it suspicious that Agent131711 claims these shootings happened, whereas Mathis concludes they did not within minutes of research.

Using Wikipedia, Mathis outlines the official narrative of the Thurston Highschool Shooting: it occurred in Springfield, Oregon, with Kipland Phillip Kinkel as the shooter, allegedly killing four people, including his parents. Mathis then conducts a people search on Kipland Kinkel, who is supposedly 41 and serving 111 years in Salem, Oregon. Mathis finds it odd that neither Intelius nor Instantcheckmate have records of Kipland Kinkel being in jail. Furthermore, their records for his parents, William and Faith Kinkel, aged 85 and 82 respectively, do not list a Kipland among their relatives. Mathis also points out a discrepancy in Kipland’s middle name, noting that the name in the Kinkel family is Philip, not Phillip. He also identifies a Philip Kinkel, age 87, in Eugene, and Mary Kinkel of Menlo Park, CA, age 97, and another Mary Kinkel who died in Maryland at 94, connected to various families like Bennett, Holloway, Fawcett, Sidwell, Hart, and Ogden.

Mathis notes the coincidence of Klaus Kinkel, Vice Chancellor of Germany under Helmut Kohl and former head of the BND, sharing the surname Kinkel. He also references an early communist named Gottfried Kinkel, who founded the Bonner Zeitung in 1848, and suggests he was an agent who escaped Spandau prison to England and joined Karl Schapper’s group. Mathis further connects Gottfried Kinkel to Goring and the invention of the German Intelligence Agency in 1933.

Returning to William and Faith Kinkel, Mathis finds it suspicious that the computer databases still age them rather than indicating they died in 1998, suggesting a lack of death records. He also questions their ages (44 and 41 at Kipland’s birth) as unlikely. Mathis disputes Faith’s maiden name, Zuranski, stating that the databases have no record of a Faith Zuranski in the US, nor variations like Zuraski, Zurawski, or Zuransky.

Mathis finds a Kenneth Stanley Kinkel, age 80, in Eugene, who also has Littleton, CO listed, drawing a connection to the Columbine High School Massacre, which occurred in Littleton. Mathis scrutinizes the Findagrave pages for William and Faith Kinkel, claiming the photos used are computer-generated and exhibit technical inconsistencies, such as focus errors and improbable studio-quality images of deceased individuals. He highlights a photo of the couple together as particularly fake, citing errors in head size, pasted backgrounds, and focus issues. He notes that Faith’s father, Henry Zuranski, is listed as being from Brook Park, OH, but both he and Faith’s mother are “scrubbed” from Findagrave. Mathis also points out the absence of headstones for William and Faith on Findagrave, with them reportedly buried in Sunset Hills Cemetery in Eugene marked by a “cenotaph,” which he explains as an empty tomb, indicating their remains are elsewhere.

Mathis further questions the official narrative by highlighting that William Kinkel taught Spanish at Thurston Highschool and retired in 1995 at age 56, which Mathis deems an unusually early retirement for a public school teacher.

Mathis finds the details of the shooting itself implausible, particularly Kipland Kinkel’s actions after allegedly killing his parents, such as playing Wagner’s “Liebestod” repeatedly. He dismisses the weapons used as unlikely for a mass shooting, describing them as Ruger .22 target rifles and pistols, and questions the logistics of carrying 1127 rounds of ammunition. He also disputes the notion that a retired public school teacher would have a vast amount of ammunition accessible to a troubled teenager. Mathis criticizes the parents’ alleged actions of supplying their son, described as a “nutcase” with anger management issues, in special education, and with a history of gasoline bombs and bomb-making lectures, with guns and ammunition, especially given the advice of a psychologist. Mathis concludes that the event is “the worst fake ever.”

Summary:

Miles Mathis, in his article “The Thurston Highschool Shooting was Fake,” published on April 5, 2024, asserts that the Thurston Highschool Shooting of 1998 was fabricated. He bases this claim on his internet research, which he believes contradicts the official narrative. Mathis is critical of other researchers, such as Agent131711, whom he suspects of being an agent attempting to mislead people by presenting staged events as real, citing Agent131711’s analysis of the Hawaii fires and his unwillingness to consider the possibility of staged events.

Mathis scrutinizes the details of the Thurston Highschool Shooting, including the alleged shooter Kipland Phillip Kinkel, his parents William and Faith Kinkel, and their supposed ages and family members. He finds significant discrepancies in public records and Findagrave entries, suggesting the individuals may not be who they are presented to be, or that the details of their lives and deaths are fabricated. He points to suspicious photographic evidence, the lack of death records, and the use of a cenotaph as burial markers as further proof of a staged event. Mathis also questions the weapons and ammunition allegedly used by Kipland Kinkel, and the parents’ alleged decision to supply him with firearms despite his known behavioral issues. He concludes that the entire event is a poorly executed fabrication.
