[…] ‘accident’), in October 1983. As far as we are aware there is as yet no detailed study of the event, nor any plausible explanation of it. U.S. conspiracy buffs, accustomed to scenarios in which liberals/leftists – Kennedys, King, Panthers – are assassinated by the right-wing, seem to be both confused by, and disinterested in, […]
[…] also the second part of a long piece by Uri Dowbenko, now working with Steamshovel, who is making another attempt at a sort of Christic Institute mega conspiracy theory about the CIA and drugs.
