Maybe it's going to be revealed that Musk has developed personal drones that use some new energy source and everyone will have one for getting to work, or anywhere else :) (and the war will be between Musk's drone company and the automakers :) )

Did anyone else notice that the guy they arrested appears to have a completely different looking chin than the guy in the "wanted" photos?

I just asked chatgpt this very question, here is the response:

In the past five years, several conspiracy theories have emerged, and a few of them have been shown to have some degree of truth or validity upon further investigation. However, the vast majority of conspiracy theories remain unproven or have been debunked. Below are a few examples of conspiracy theories from recent years that have been partially or fully verified:

  1. The COVID-19 Lab-Leak Theory Conspiracy Theory: The virus that causes COVID-19 was artificially created and accidentally leaked from a laboratory in Wuhan, China. Outcome: While initially dismissed by many experts, investigations into the origins of COVID-19 have found the lab-leak hypothesis to be plausible. In 2021, the U.S. intelligence community and the World Health Organization acknowledged that both natural and lab-based origins were possible, and in 2023, more studies leaned toward the lab leak as a likely origin.
  2. Mass Surveillance by Tech Companies Conspiracy Theory: Major tech companies (such as Facebook, Google, etc.) have been collecting vast amounts of personal data from users without their consent. Outcome: Various revelations over the past five years have confirmed that many tech companies engage in aggressive data collection. High-profile cases, such as the Cambridge Analytica scandal involving Facebook, confirmed that companies were collecting more data than initially admitted, often without full user consent.
  3. NSA Spying on U.S. Citizens (Snowden Revelations) Conspiracy Theory: The National Security Agency (NSA) was secretly spying on American citizens' communications and data. Outcome: In 2013, whistleblower Edward Snowden revealed extensive surveillance by the NSA, confirming that the U.S. government had been collecting phone records, emails, and other forms of personal communication on a massive scale. This was initially dismissed as a conspiracy theory but became widely accepted after Snowden's leaks and subsequent investigations.
  4. Big Tobacco Cover-Up of Health Risks Conspiracy Theory: The tobacco industry has long hidden or downplayed the dangers of smoking. Outcome: Over the past few decades, but especially in recent years, a series of legal proceedings and document releases have proven that tobacco companies were fully aware of the harmful effects of smoking and actively worked to obscure these facts to protect their profits.
  5. The Epstein Network Conspiracy Theory: Financier Jeffrey Epstein ran a global sex trafficking operation involving powerful individuals. Outcome: After Epstein's arrest and subsequent death in 2019, investigations revealed extensive connections between Epstein and influential political, business, and entertainment figures. Several high-profile individuals have faced scrutiny, and ongoing investigations have continued to uncover further details about his illicit activities.
  6. The Dangers of Social Media Manipulation (Election Interference) Conspiracy Theory: Social media platforms were used to manipulate public opinion and influence elections. Outcome: Investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election revealed that foreign actors used social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to spread disinformation and influence voter behavior. This was further confirmed by U.S. intelligence agencies and continued through subsequent elections.
  7. The Fentanyl Crisis Being Exacerbated by Pharmaceutical Companies Conspiracy Theory: Pharmaceutical companies were knowingly pushing addictive opioid medications, contributing to the opioid epidemic. Outcome: Multiple lawsuits and settlements (e.g., Purdue Pharma's bankruptcy settlement in 2021) have confirmed that many pharmaceutical companies contributed to the opioid crisis by misleading the public and doctors about the safety of their products. Conclusion: While the majority of conspiracy theories remain unsupported by evidence, several high-profile claims from the past five years have been partially or entirely validated by investigations, leaks, or official reports. These include topics related to the origins of COVID-19, mass surveillance, and social media manipulation, among others. However, it's important to note that the verification of these theories often comes with complexities, and some parts of the conspiracy narratives may remain unproven or exaggerated.

I've been posting this on various comment sections, although didn't mention deer hunters, just the difference between north and south :)

Students apparently use some form of AI to write papers now, and I don't know if it is possible to know if it was done (unless some prof goes to the trouble of having AI write the same requested paper, and then look for the same text passages; I guess looking to see if students plagiarized the AI :) )

I thought Grok was somehow related to "Gronk" :) (and I can't stand that guy; he is the sports equivalent of Neil deGrasse Tyson; they may know their subject, but are extremely annoying :) )

I have joked in several comment sections that there is a reason the drones have only appeared in the north, because in the south they would have been shot down already :)

But your opinion of the man who was murdered is based SOLELY on what you THINK about him, rather than what you KNOW about him. That is a VERY dangerous basis for "justice". That same kind of thinking has led to lynchings and other vigilante "justice" in the past.

I support the death penalty when it is administered through the legal court system. Vigilante "justice" is a dangerous path to follow. By your reasoning, leftists will feel free to murder anyone they believe deserved death, and we know how their moral compass works.

The same way they immediately took down the Chinese spy balloon?

Unfortunately, the service academies were stuffed with leftists by Obama (instructors) and now we will see the results of that for many, many, years.

As long as we are still living in a "civilized" society, murder of ANYONE should not be acceptable! You sound like you are a product of the same educational system that has produced the people applauding this guy; even offering to marry him.

It wouldn't be so bad if sewage was nothing but human waste, but unfortunately, people flush EVERYTHING, and traces of that, including many heavy metals (lead, cadmium, for example), pharmaceuticals, and everything in between, become part of the final milorganite product.

For many decades, there has been a fertilizer widely sold called "Milorganite", made from Milwaukie sewage sludge.

All environmental approvals bothers me. I am in no way an "environmentalist", but big corporations couldn't care less about environmental damage when their profits are concerned. I guess that big dam inside Grand Canyon National Park can now proceed. But seriously, hopefully this is just "Trumpiness".

He may not live to even have a trial. They'll find a way to suicide him.

Cult members tend to be higher than average intelligence and from fairly well-to-do families, and white (although I guess there has been some reasonable Asian representation over the years, and of course Jonestown :) )

I have thought for a long time that if a town wants to end their homeless problem, all they need to do is provide them with one-way bus fare to another state, along with some "starter money", and a signed agreement that they will never come back, and if they do, they will have to pay back the "starter money" and the bus fare, and if they can't pay, they will be put in jail.

Is it possible this guy was "MKultra'd" to do this, in the guise of being some "social justice" warrior, as a way to complete an assassination the deep state needed to occur, while freeing them from suspicion?

That's what I've seen some people say, with talk about "bad batches" being the actual covid concoction, and other batches being placebos.

Your post reminds me to continue including Trump, family, and associates, in my nightly prayers. After the election, I let the importance of that slide a little!
