Green Eagle Tries to Start a Conspiracy Theory

Green Eagle loves conspiracy theories- particularly when he makes them up all by himself. 

So a Malaysian airliner seems to have been shot down over the Ukraine.  Every scrap of talk I have heard so far revolves around suspicion of the Russians or Ukrainians.

You know what?  Remember a few months ago when a Malaysian airliner disappeared altogether?  Well, here's another one gone.  Think that's just a coincidence?  Well, you will have to prove it to me.

What has Malaysian airlines done to anyone? Perhaps it was done by the networks to generate interest in the news, figuring that no one is really interested in Malaysia anyway?

I think it's a REALLY hostile takeover attempt...a corporate thing. Someone wants Malaysia, Inc.

Largest nationality on board were Dutch.

Australians? 28 at last count. About 100 of the 298 people were to fly on from KL to here (Melbourne) to an AIDS conference. They’re researchers, activists… so on.

One extended family from Australia had members on both flights. Maybe someone can make something out of that… completely normal people going about their lives killed on two planes which happen to represent the same national airline which flies all over the world. Other airlines also thought it safe to travel over at that altitude.

The foreign minister here called the Russian ambassador in to seek reassurance they would take the investigation seriously. He automatically denied all involvement and blamed Ukraine. Just blustered his way around it, the fucking arsehole. Most likely his country’s fucking weaponry that did it..

Free-lance Australian journalist on site reported that the area is a mess. They have no fucking clue. Can’t run a disaster site any better than a country. Bodies or bits thereof everywhere, uncovered. Someone with an underpowered hose spraying water around haphazardly.

I suppose there’ll be extensive coverage and bloggers will start complaining “So what? Not as if they were Americans. Surely there is more important stuff to talk about, like something some shmuck said about Pelosi” - like last time. Or maybe not now there's a Russian angle and a SAM to satisfy the enduring cold war fetishes.

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

Wingnuts Slightly Annoyed about that $83 Million

Image
How can you look like a decrepit old geezer and an out of control two year old at the same time? I thought it might be nice to look in on wingnut world to see how they are taking yesterday's $83 million dollar Trump legal loss.  You kind of know that they will decide it shouldn't affect their opinion of him in any way, but it might be helpful to see just how the Republican party has trained them to reject any fact they don't like.  Not that surprisingly, a lot of the usual wingnut suspects didn't touch this loss at all, preferring to just ignore anything that interferes with their hateful daydreams, but here are a few excerpts from an article at Gateway Pundit, along with a sample of the hundreds of comments it received.  Enjoy.  Or not. "Trump attorney Alina Habba WENT OFF after the crooked New York City court slapped President Trump with an $83 million judgment for speaking out against the disgusting lies of a crazed woman who said he lured her into a Bergdorf Go

If a Tree Falls In the Woods

 And nobody hears it, is it really running for President at all? First of all, a note about my absence lately:  My wife got me to sign up for an account at Threads, which is sort of like X without the assholes.  I've spent a little time establishing myself there, and I have to say, I do like the relatively immediate exchange of views, but I don't mean to give up my blog- there are still so many things that can't be dealt with in a couple hundred words, so, perhaps to your dismay, I am back. So, what motivated the above question is the fact that the Sunday New York Times today had seven articles about Trump, and absolutely zero about Kamala Harris.   The Republicans have a problem with Harris, in that virtually everyone who sees her likes her and immediately understands how qualified she is to be President.  They have tried mightily the last month to find some way to smear her, but have been spectacularly unsuccessful- the tactics of character assassination that worked so we
