36. The question was open.

Sunday

Point made if it was specific to DU.
“The power of an open question” where did I hear that before?

I’ve had an OP deleted due to a CT.
Unfortunately, it can’t be proven right until documents are de-classified in 25 years.
Live long enough and read history, you find that some conspiracies were indeed true, such as sabotaging peace talks for political points, faked attacks on ships and so on.

Not defending any of this. I backed off speculation, because the shit going down and the speculation on it are all distraction. Intentional distraction.

I posted this Friday, and it got zero rec’s and replies.
