293. Uhm, no
"The Republican's just got caught red handed murdering a whistle-blower with a plane crash -and none of us are talking about it. WTF?"



We're being told by an insular group of people associated with the Speedway Bomber, Brett Kimberlin, that Mike Connell was threatened by Karl Rove. Yet, there is zero proof that this guy was ever threatened. Most important, there is zero proof that this rightwinger was gonna whistleblow.

Remember the Jason Leopold thing about Bush and Cheney being indicted? Remember how embarrassing that was? Remember how discredited progressives and the internet in general were because of that asshat? The same exact type of thing is going on here.

I personally believe that there is election fraud in America. But if the big stories getting out to newbies and fence-sitters have zero credibility similar to the kind one would find on World Net Daily, we are in big trouble if we think the internet has that much potential to promote positive social change.

I am very discouraged when I see posts claiming that Mike Connell was murdered by Republicans. He was not a whistleblower. If you look closely into this story, you will find a mountain of discrepancies. Often times things are covered up. But other times what we think are censored stories are actually misinformation and rabbit holes. While people are diving into the Connell was a whistleblower nonsense, they are going to miss reading and thinking about things that really matter. Don't let "them" force any zeitgeist on you.

I was disappointed to see yet again someone declaring that the Republicans got caught red-handed killing a whistleblower. There's no truth to that.

I despise closed-minded debunking, but there is a need for facts and consistency, not innuendo and conjecture.
