(11,366 posts)That Cesca uses this sentence, "The question now, I suppose, is whether the government will use chemtrails, black helicopters or, perhaps, the government will manipulate some tornados (sic) to attack Snowden," shows he is part of the propaganda Wurlitzer.
Just because SOME conspiracy theories are far-fetched DOES NOT MEAN THERE ARE NO CONSPIRACIES. And it doesn't mean that everyone who thinks Snowden might be in some sort of danger from our government is nuts. They aren't.
Remember Operations Northwoods and Mockingbird? Or when Nayirah al-Sabah testified to Congress that she witnessed Iraqi soldiers kill babies?
A conspiracy means that more than one person was involved in the scheme or crime or plot and a theory means that you're making an educated guess as to what happened. It doesn't necessarily mean "the musings of a kook."
No, Bob, I don't suspect the government will be manipulating TORNADOES (you spelled it incorrectly), but a drone strike or a CIA take-down is NOT out of the question, and we both know it.
I, for one, have been sorely disappointed in mainstream reporting for years. When I was a working journalism, healthy skepticism - which is what we called it when someone, you know, actually questioned motives and sought answers (that's called tin-foil-hattery today) - ruled a reporter's life and drove stories. Too bad we're all drinking grape Flavor-aid these days.
