I was just reading something about conspiracy theorists (I don’t quite remember where) and the basic thrust of the article was: it used to be that good conspiracy theories took a long time to develop; new evidence came to light, more witnesses were located. It used to take years or even decades for a decent alternate explanation to find its way into the general public. Now, however, with the advent of the Internet, all one has to do is immediately claim that the official explanation is wrong, and then look for any kind of evidence to support another “theory.” Conspiracy theories these days require no thought to come up with, one just has to instantly disagree with the standard line. I was a conspiracy nutjob when being a conspiracy nutjob used to mean something!
Having said that, has anyone found out yet if there were any Jews aboard Flight 3407? JUST KIDDING!
Evidently plane crashes are the Swiss army knives of the international cabal. Is downing an entire jet *really *the best method for getting rid of one person? Presuming that one has that much power at hand, wouldn’t it be easier to assign one of those super-assassins, like the ones in the movies, and do it quietly and cleanly?
I only hope, for the Conspiracy’s sake, that Ms. Eckert forgot to make a backup copy of the world-changingly incriminating evidence that went down with her plane…
We have always had whackjobs and doofuses and losers and basement dwellers and David Hasselhoff fans. They just have Internet connections now.
They’re not part of the collective psyche. They belong to the collective psychosis, and you needn’t concern yourself with them unless they get it into their collective nutty little heads that you killed Kennedy.
Actually, my first question would be is there any good reason to think that the alleged evidence actually existed ? Clearly there isn’t some campaign to kill off anyone who just says they “know the truth” or there’d be a lot more dead conspiracy theorists.
If there wasn’t any evidence, then there wasn’t any motive.
As far as I know it’s perfectly possible; we used such weapons in the first Gulf War IIRC. How effective it would be would depend on how dependent that particular type of plane is on it’s electronics, I guess.
Personally, if I wanted to eliminate her and the hypothetical evidence I’d arrange for a convenient “car accident”, and make off with the evidence. Or for her to be the victim of a “random murder” or home invasion by masked criminals. “EMP the plane and hope the evidence is lost in the crash” strikes me as overly elaborate and less reliable. Not that it’s impossible that someone like the CIA wouldn’t do it that way anyway, given some of the things they’ve done or tried to do in the past. Like the various attempts to kill Castro.
It explains why all efforts to remove the Canada Goose from the list of birds protected by the 1917 Migratory Bird Treaty Act have met with failure! The general public has no way to differentiate between the highly aggressive, deadly, and polluting fowl, and the trained aggression of the deliberately homicidal geese.
