I mean imagine the awkwardness of the government be like:

“He died of an accident? Did one of ours do this?”

“No”

“…”

    Somewhat reminds me of Dr David Kelly in the UK. He was a key scientist involved in finding WMDs in Iraq in 2003, however he leaked to the BBC that the intelligence report given to the government was “sexed up” (the phrase used at the time) in order to favour an invasion into Iraq. It was discovered he was the source of the leak to the BBC and then was suddenly found dead in some woods near his home.

    The official story is that he commited suicide, probably from the pressure and stress he was under, but the timing was so suspcious that obviously people think the government had him bumped off.

        His naked, decomposing remains were found in the bath of the main bedroom’s en-suite bathroom, inside a red sports bag that was padlocked from the outside, with the keys inside the bag.

        Bruh how does anyone think this is an accident lmao

        EDIT:

        Metropolitan Police deputy assistant commissioner Martin Hewitt said it was theoretically possible for Williams to lower himself into the bag without touching the rim of the bath.

        TFW u need to talk about something being “theoretically possible” to justify no fingerprints when the situation is already this obviously sus.

    This reminds me of the KGB allegedly being terrified that they were somehow involved with Kennedy’s assassination

      Idk man. We don’t know enough about the CIA/FBI involvement yet. Maybe KGB was responsible, but the shooters who did it found out his superior fucked up and they both fucked with the KGB and if they were ever caught, they were dead. In the US or USSR.

      So they started a shell company in the Caymans

    If you’ve never spent time with conspiracy folks or looked at /r/conspiracy, take this and extrapolate into infinity.

    Nothing good or bad can happen without it being “THEY” that did it. Nothing is real, everything is staged and manipulated. It really doesn’t help that plenty of real life bad things happen all the time, and it’s just that the world is fucking bonkers. Some people can’t accept that and feel better blaming someone else so they feel more secure in bad random things being “caused” by people so that someone else’s agency and not their bad decisions or bad luck are possibly a cause of bad things.
