Questions

 

I have questions.

The two main reasons conspiracy theories are running rampant is that (i)  journalism died, and (ii) Critical Theory has gained a foothold, which emphasizes “my truth” instead of “the truth,” and the two reinforce each other so that probing questions do not get asked or get brushed aside.

So, here are some of my questions, and if anyone has a plausible explanation, I’m all ears. 

-The FISA Court clearly failed by permitting unverified material to be used to surveil the Trump administration.  The FISA Court is a special ex parte court which allows certain procedures to proceed without being contested and a departure from our adversary system, and it broke down in this case.  Why haven’t the people who did this been held accountable and why hasn’t Chief Justice John Roberts (who oversees the FISA Court) spoken up about this breakdown and what he intends to do about it?

-The MSM keeps repeating the refrain “no evidence of massive fraud” as if it were saying vespers.  Why were windows blocked to obstruct views in Michigan?  Why did we have more votes than registered voters in Pennsylvania?  Why were ballots rolled out in suitcases from under tables?  Why did 6 states all stop counting ballots simultaneously on election night?  No alternative explanation for any of these behaviors has been offered.

-Joe Biden stated that his party conducted massive voter fraud operation.   The MSM shrugged it off.  Why did he say that?

-Ted Wheeler, mayor of Portland, just announced a crackdown on Antifa.   Why now?  Why the sudden epiphany?  His enlightenment on the road to Damascus occurred in the same week Nancy Pelosi’s and Mitch McConnell’s homes were vandalized by Antifa.  Is there any connection?  And by the way, why is there no footage from the security cameras available at their respective homes.

-Why did the mayor of Moscow’s wife wire $3.5 million to Hunter Biden?  What was that payment for?  The Biden family also received a $5 million “loan” from China.  Was that repaid?   Where did the money go?

-Black Lives Matter raised over $1 billion, receiving funds from Bank of America, the N.F.L., Unilever, Nike, AirBnb and on and on.  Where did all the money go?  Can you name a single significant project or achievement so far?  An education center?  Scholarships?  Funding for HBCU’s?  Health care centers?  Entrepreneurship programs?  Anything?   A building?  Child care?   Most often, charities do a very specific proposal and corporations engage in a long due diligence process, often lasting over a year or more before wiring money to a charity.  Did any of these companies do this?

-Back to poor old George Floyd.  I am still troubled by the events surrounding his “death.”  I have been through first aid training and one of the basic tasks that a first responder must do before attempting to move a victim is to check his pulse and check to see if he’s breathing.  The responders did not do that in this case.  In addition, the officer knelt on his neck for 9 minutes, putting pressure on the cervical area of his neck.  With a possible neck injury, a first responder would NEVER move someone in the way that they moved George.   Without taking his pulse, without seeing if he was breathing, and with a possible neck injury, they schlepped him on the gurney like a sack of potatoes, and whisked him away.   Why didn’t his family sue for this prima facie malpractice handling of him?  Further, these were not EMT’s that popped out of the ambulance.  They were armed men, and at least one of them was wearing a Kevlar vest.   That’s not who is usually dispatched with an ambulance.

-Then there is the Nashville bombing.  Within 48 hours, the FBI declared that they had identified the perpetrator and announced that he was a “lone wolf” and also said that he was not on their radar screen.   How does the FBI come to this conclusion so quickly?  How did they go through his cell phone contacts, his texts and emails, interview all of these people, his neighbors, co-workers, neighbors, etc., all in 48 hours to make that determination.

-How can Eric Swalwell still be on the House Intelligence Committee?  Same with Ilhan Omar. How can it possibly be justified?

-An African American man was shot and killed by a police officer in Minneapolis the other day (which was being carped about by Ilhan Omar) in an exchange of gunfire.  Yet, there were not riots.  Is the African American community now able to distinguish this shooting from the Jacob Blake shooting or the Rayshard Brooks shooting or is something else going on here?  Why did Minneapolis not go up in flames this time around?

I’m no devotee of Alex Jones.   Or conspiracy theories.  But I am a devotee of matching numbers to narratives, to tracking cash flow and common sense answers to straightforward questions.  I welcome answers to any or all of those that I have posed.
