Part of what set Leslie Van Houten down the path that ended at the LaBianca house was her mother forcing her to get an extremely late term abortion as a teenager.

They aren't now. They were tens of millions of years ago. What is now India used to be attached to South Africa but over millions of years plate tectonics caused it to move north to its present day position (and it's still moving very slowly). When the Indian plate collided with the Eurasian plate the crust at the edges was uplifted, forming the mountains. There was also an ancient sea covering Missouri and most of the central and western US, but it was an inland sea so there probably wasn't much surf.

Those are two different conversations. Making people economically desperate isn't going to add meaning to their lives.

No, they won't. They'll ease inhibitions that prevent monsters from carrying out the horrendous acts they always wanted to do.

The same Atlanta child murders that mysteriously stopped happening literally the day they arrested Wayne B. Williams? People want to believe far-fetched conspiracy theories because they can't stand thinking that complete losers and nonentities like Williams, Manson, and Oswald can cause so much misery and suffering in the world.

The digital remastering removed the hidden messages? I wonder if Berkowitz would hear Satan if he heard a CD of the neighbor's dog barking.

Maybe there was a net?

Crowley never sent anyone out to commit murder.

Nope. False.

It's the standard conspiritard playbook. I've found this small inconsistency in the official story... therefore OBVIOUSLY CIA space alien Hitler clones!

@K767-o1t He was always released because that's what liberals do with criminals. Find me a murderer who wasn't in and out of the justice system numerous times as a juvenile and young adult.

@K767-o1t If that's so I think it's a lot more likely that he was paying off the cops with part of the proceeds from his criminal activity, especially drug sales. Plenty of drug dealers buy protection that way. Maybe he was even an informant, that would be just like a toad like him to be a snitch. Of course after the murders made him so infamous they'd want to deny any involvement with him. What I don't see is the slightest shred of evidence he ever had ANY interaction with the CIA, FBI, or any other federal government organization. Just a lot of speculation with zero proof. Of course his entourage were just stupid. Look at Squeaky Fromme, making that video about knowing so much about guns and then trying to assassinate the president without chambering a round. Like most of them she was just a ditz seeking attention and validation.

He shoulda surfed.

@mysty0 That is an idiotic and ignorant idea about how Operation paperclip actually worked and who was caught up in it. The Germans who were recruited in it were not "biggest Nazi players," they were scientists and technicians who had little or nothing to do with the Nazi Party other than having been drafted to do technical work for the military on things like rockets and jet aircraft. The goal wasn't to make them fabulously wealthy "influencers," it was (a) to continue their scientific research for the US government and (b) to make sure they weren't doing that research for other governments, especially the Soviets (who had their own similar operation). Most of them were simply let go after being interrogated about their research. And it was so top-seekrut that only about 500 TV programs about it have been on cable TV - which is undoubtedly where you learned what little you know about, and if you'd done a few fewer bong hits while watching you might have actually learned something.

@mysty0 Grow up and stop watching so much TV, little boy.

@BertWesler32777 Manson was never a member of the OTO and neither was Berkowitz. Both are alleged by some to have had some contact with OTO lodges, but they were not members.
1
@BertWesler32777 How do YOU claim to know they were? You're the one making the claim. Everything I've read says they may have had some involvement but were not members. Show me evidence that they were members.
1
@BertWesler32777 Or maybe they're showing that they are aware of the limitations of their specific knowledge, as opposed to idiots who make bold declarative statements with zero evidence to back them up. I don't claim to know the exact extent of Manson's or Berkowitz' contact with people from the OTO, but I do know that the chapters involved have denied that they were ever members or had very extensive contact, and I know you have produced ZERO evidence to support your claims. If you have any evidence at all, please, share it.

The market. It will cause costs to rise but not as much as incomes. If one landlord raises rents by $1000/mo then their neighbors will raise rents by $100/mo. and steal all their business. That's how supply and demand curves work.

That's mostly because alcohol is used five times as much as all other (psychoactive) drugs combined. If 70% of the population were abusing opioids, you'd see a million deaths a year in the US from them. As it is we're seeing about 80,000 a year. I've lost more friends to opioids than car crashes, guns, alcohol, and cigarettes combined. Granted, few other drugs are that lethal, but barbiturates are probably still more lethal and just as addictive as alcohol.

He was not a CIA officer, he was a CIA asset. There's a big difference.

Back in the Cold War they outsourced a lot of that work to Cubans and Bulgarians. Like the hit on the pope - that was a Turk working for the Bulgarians. Better plausible deniability that way.

You're saying the crazy guy's motive can't be genuine because it's crazy?

What do you mean? he had a very lengthy trial and the chance to say whatever he wanted. He chose to turn it into a circus.

A lot of it is just that alcohol has been deeply embedded in our culture for 10,000 years or more and tobacco and pot have not. They were drinking beer at Gobekli Tepe. You couldn't remove it from society if you tried - and we did try, and it was a disaster. How do you tell people a drug is evil and mortally dangerous when a third of the people on the planet belong to a religion in which consuming that drug is part of its most sacred rituals? As for pot vs. cigarettes, cigarettes (though not pipes or cigars) are worse for your long-term health but I think you understate the risks of pot. For one thing, it impairs your functioning; maybe not as much as alcohol, but you wouldn't want your airline pilot or brain surgeon to be high while doing their job, and even driving stoned can be much riskier (most potheads are in denial about this). And there's the risk of psychological addiction: I've never known anyone whose lifestyle changed as a result of smoking cigarettes, but I've known plenty of stoners who centered their life around pot, especially their social lives, to the point that all they ever wanted to do was sit around and do bong hits and watch bad TV or listen to music. And I've known people who have lost their jobs over smoking pot (because they couldn't muster the self-discipline to show up at work sober) but no one loses their job over cigarettes - why would they?

Because what the prosecution is legally required to do and what is necessary to convince a jury to convict are two different things.

Some salt comes from evaporated sea water. The salt that's underground came from ancient seas that dried up and were eventually buried by geological processes.

@tomino133 That is true, but it is also true that a substantial number of people in the UK government were in favor of making peace under the threat of German bombing. If they had had their way and Hitler had been free to turn 100% of his attention to the USSR, without any realistic chance of the US entering the European war, the outcome might have been different. The OP's point about the shallowness of Germany's military might is also true, but the USSR had also been very badly weakened by Stalin's purges and genocides and it came much closer to collapse in 1941 than a lot of people realize.
