(At this point, I have NO idea where I picked this up. Could have been at DU. My old head is swimming. Have you folks noticed that there are about 5 major news items a day that make you say "WTFF???" And then there's follow-ups on all of them. Information/outrage overload!! Anyway... here...)

(34,857 posts)An autopsy comes out and why should anyone take it at its word? It could be just as corrupted. There could be video evidence of him hanging himself and people will still doubt it.

What is depressing is we have until 2021 to start getting to the bottom of all that's gone on but even then there's no guarantee that the evidence will remain. I would LOVE some big wins for a change.

Drunken Irishman
(34,857 posts)By giving credence to the doubt, it feeds the narrative and, unfortunately, much of the conspiracy world has been corrupted by anti-Clinton forces who believe they're responsible for everything. We've got dueling conspiracy theories but the one winning out right now is about Clinton - not Trump. That's the dangerous game of playing, "something doesn't add up here..."

being blamed by the right wing nut jobs for everything just goes with the territory for Clintons. that is just part of the yuuuge tsunami of bullshit upon which trump surfs.
i'm sorry about that. Clintons are way down on my list of suspects, but I remain skeptical about the official story.
Drunken Irishman
(34,857 posts)Just don't get upset if the larger narrative focuses on Clinton and not who you believe might be responsible. You open the door to the conspiracy and you can't start questioning what walks through. The same basic arguments being used here to tie this to Trump are literally the same arguments being used to tie this to the Clintons.

The video would be staged and fraudulent (and with all the stories coming out about how they are getting much better at creating fake videos, this will add further fuel to the fire)

(25,586 posts)to him in his novel Children of the Arbat, but he later admitted that he had no source for it. By that time Rybakovs fame had decreased so the correction did not travel as far as the original quote.
And in fairness, it sounds like something the bastard would have said, so it stuck.

Thats the problem every time something gets real honest communication about it, bing the next big thing comes along and knocks it right off.
