    I seen so many of these and I really don’t understand. Like if there is a secret cabal powerful enough to organize this and keep this a secret. The resources to find this random dude, approach him and make these offers and STILL have no one speak out about it. Couldn’t they just find the guy? Like are they really so desperate to attempt this after not finding him for 3 days? Also if they are scared this is going to happen again because copycats are they really powerful enough to organize these cover ups? Feels like Schrodinger’s oligarchy cabal, powerful enough to frame and cover anything up but not powerful enough to keep themselves from getting shot in the street.

    I am not on CEO side, I am shedding no tears but the whole scapegoat thing is just delusional.

      The catholic church covers up and shields priests who are guilty of sex crimes against children.

      The CIA abducted and tortured US citizens in MKUltra.

      There were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

      Just because you’re too stupid to imagine it doesn’t mean it’s not real. Have a day.

          No, the measurable, repeatable and well-documented facts make it true. See my comment above for a place to start your research; I’d recommend reputable online sources.

          My point is that just because it sounds like a conspiracy doesn’t mean it’s “just delusional”.

            No one is saying that. Obviously there are conspiracies. But that doesn’t give anyone the right to make one up out of no where and then expect people to believe it without any proof.

            If you have evidence people will listen.

              You don’t think anyone has the right to suggest a plausible but unproven theory? You’d be a terrible scientist. I’m glad I don’t work with you. Have a day. 🫱

        Just feels like this slips into QAnon territory where people convinced the democrats were abusing kids in a pizzeria basement. People laugh about that being so unbelievable and baseless, but now that it happens to a psudo folk hero everyone is like “the facts are right there in front of you”.

        The goverment does plenty of shady shit, but you are talking like a John Wick esk “The Contental” or “The High Table” kinda thing. Is it really so hard to believe that guy did it and got caught?

          FWIW I’m sure there’s a bunch of Republicans fucking kids in a Pasta House basement somewhere.

        People knew about the Roman Catholic Church stuff long before the stories actually came out. In Northern Ireland it was a common thing that people talked about in Protestant families about what the Papists were up to, and they ended up being correct.
