Conspiratorialism

Some of my favorite conspiracies, you decide if they're legit.

All of the high profile assassinations and attempts, including Kennedy, Reagan, King, Lincoln etc, have been endorsed by at least a faction of the Federal Government in one way or another.

Sounds pretty far fetched until you start looking at the arguments. First Kennedy, the other shooter of course, but also the rest of the family. Its like a real life Final Destination they're all going to die unnaturally its just a matter of how and when. Which, by the way, is one of the stupidest movie series ever conceived of, but I must see them all. Is it not possible that war with Russia was on the horizon? The Cold War was in full affect. Kennedy side-stepped it nicely a couple of times but could he again? Maybe somebody knew he was done playing around. Maybe somebody knew the next time the Russians pushed he was going to push back. I don't know, just seems fishy.

Ok, what about Reagan? Have you checked his ratings? What a boost that was, to be able to connect to the American people from a Hospital bed. Am I saying he lied to us about it? Maybe. Or maybe an aid thought it would help but kept him out of the loop. He was a professional actor, maybe he just played like he got shot. He was the President, he could fabricate some forms pretty easily. Just saying.

Sure....what about King? Listen, Malcolm X was the real threat. If King hadn't been shot he would've run for President. If he had run for President he probably would have won. If he had been President Malcolm's people would have been in the White House. If you're a CIA analyst and you see that scenario you act fast. Why not shoot Malcolm? They did. The also shot King because he was the figure head that would place the radicals in power. Not saying I would do it, I just see the thought process.

Whatever...you can't say they shot Lincoln? Well, that one is actually the easiest. Booth was a disgruntled individual. The South had been defeated meaning life as he, and anyone else, knew it was about to change drastically. Also, as I've highlighted in earlier posts, Lincoln had made a lot of enemies with his spit-in-the-face-of-the-constitution leadership style. How easy would it be to justify killing a man who was in many ways responsible for more American deaths than anyone in history, to this very day. Hmmmmm...

Convincing right? I don't believe any of that but it interests me when people do. The moon landing? Sure, they faked the moon landing, tell that to John Glenn or Buzz Aldrin and you'll be swallowing your teeth in a second. 911? No government, no matter how corrupt, kills thousands and cripples its own economy to start a land war in Asia (the biggest blunder possible, barely edging out a battle of wits against a Sicilian with death on the line).

Wow, if you finished reading this, you're awesome. Sorry I didn't have much today. Tuesday I'll explain my position regarding the Kingdom of Heaven. Hint, I'm not classic.

Braves swept the Pirates. 7 game lead on the Phils in the East (Gnats are in 3rd!!!!) and indisputable awesomeness. Gattis, JUpton, Freeman and Simmons all belong in the All-Star game. Kimbrel and Minor too. I can only imagine how good this team would be with Chipper, even at his advanced age most experts agreed he could be a valuable platoon candidate, DH or pinch hitter. Maybe he'll come back for the stretch run? I can dream anyway.
