I thought Trads wore the scarlet letter of "Conspiracy Theorist" as a badge of honor. Yet everyone here seems to be taking the mainstream narrative for granted, uncritically. What is this, some kind of thought experiment?
Did some of you rush to CI last year to register your outrage that NY Corrections Officers could be so incompetent as to sleep on the job, and allow Jeffrey Epstein to commit ѕυιcιdє via a 4 foot swan dive from his bed with paper sheets wrapped around his neck?
1. If a man is audibly yelling "I can't breathe," his airway has not been cut off. If it were, he'd be inaudible.
2. These two men were former coworkers. And, as in all fαℓѕє fℓαgs, this most damning bit of information came to light right away, and just as soon faded away. This a literary trope known as "lampshading": If an inconvenient plot point threatens to break suspension of disbelief, get it out of the way quickly and move on. Works like a charm, it seems.
3. The Entertainment Industry connection. Like the Comet Pizza "shooter" and "supreme gentleman" Elliot Rodger before him, George Floyd had connections to the world of "entertainment," having been a rapper associated with the reasonably well-known "DJ Screw," and, apparently, an "actor" in pornographic "films." Sounds to me like a guy who'd do some unsavory things for a few bucks, and someone who'd clearly networked with more than a few hook-nosed, bipedal rats willing and able to throw a few bucks around in exchange for unsavory deeds.
4. The Timing. Gosh, isn't it odd, just as the Covid-19 narrative is on its last legs, with unemployment artificially set at all-time high numbers, and all the pieces in place for some good ol' civil unrest, a made-to-order race war impetus comes right along, first in the abortive form of the Armed Robbery er, Ahmaud Arbery incident, and, then, when common sense made that narrative fall apart at the seams (to all but the most common-sense-immune, i.e. Poche), we get the new-and-improved model - a clear-cut case of a white policeman murdering a restrained negro, in living color and for all the world to see?
I mean, even if you find yourself attached to the idea that Floyd really was murdered (because you, say, leapt at a chance to demonstrate your Non-Racist Bonafides on a Trad Catholic internet forum by condemning the "murder" so loudly, emotionally, and prematurely that Al Sharpton himself would be proud), surely the theory that Floyd was bumped off for skimming from the till in a counterfeiting operation that he and his murderer / work buddy were both ensconced in makes infinitely more sense than the official story: that a more-or-less innocent Basketball-American was simply murdered in cold blood, in broad daylight, with several cameras trained on the act, for no reason at all, by a moustache-twirling villain who might as well be named "E. Ville Whiteman?" An awfully happy coincidence for Antifa, Soros, Gates, Rothschilds, & co., but still...
I don't know. Seems glaringly obvious to me, but, by all means, carry on. "Remember the Maine! To hell with Spain!"
