There are a group of nuts who believe that every single tragedy the media latches onto is an elaborate hoax. They even believe all the "man on the street" interviews are done by actors and that the victims aren't really dead. I think this all stems from 9/11. Ever since then the media has reported incessantly on tragedies in real time and, as a result, unintentionally give out false or contradictory information. It's the unintentional nature of human error that the crazies can't seem to grasp.

The tragic death of Michael Hastings, who wrote the Rolling Stone article that essentially lost General McChrystal his job in Afghanistan, is a field day for conspiracy theorists. It is genuinely a pretty freak accident and I'm morbidly curious, but sort of afraid to voice that lest I sound like my next sentence is going to be WAKE UP SHEEPLE!

If it turns out he was clean at the time of the accident, my next thought would be that it was suicide -- either a spur of the moment decision or something he thought out. To me, the fact that his friends and coworkers keep saying he was agitated and worried indicates that scenario more than murder. Besides, if he was in possession of top secret information, wouldn't a good reporter make sure that there were digital copies scattered about that could be found in case anything happened to him? This is the 21st century. Killing someone doesn't cut it anymore. ETA: Hastings sent an email to his colleagues warning them about an FBI investigation shortly before his death: LINK Was he being paranoid? Did he have some sort of psychotic break? Or was there really some clandestine shit going on? Who the hell knows anymore. Whatever he was working on, I hope it was something that was worth dying for and that we'll find out about eventually. And I really, really hope he didn't die because of a gossipy not so scandalous story involving Jill Kelley. What an embarrassing final story for a serious investigative journalist that would be.

Man claims to have acquired 'new' evidence of JFK conspiracy in film of the assassination left unexamined for 40 plus years. Specifically, a shot of a second shooter who isn't Lee Harvey Oswald. As a weary JFK CT'er, this rings hollow to me. I will always find claims of new insights into the assassination dubious, especially if they take the form of pictures or film. But I will be watching to see if anything comes of this.

Maybe it's the photos / film of The Babushka Lady. They never did find her.

Did you watch the American Music Awards. Like, really REALLY watch? I'm surprised he didn't notice the thing with T.I. and Iggy Azalea. That asshole got up every time her name was called and led her to the stage like he owned her. Then he stood right next to her as if HE won the award too. In conspiracy circles T.I. would be referred to as a handler. In my book, he was being a sexist dick. Yeah, you "discovered" her, you helped her succeed, but now it's time to step aside and stay out of her spotlight.

They never go on stage alone, there's always an entourage. I don't think anyone would say he's her handler, more like her manager. MOO

I know what you're saying, but he gives off an ownership vibe to me. I caught this video one morning and, in my interpretation, both the images and lyrics are about using women and paying prostitutes. I know rap is about exaggerating and bragging, but these nasty sexist thoughts come from somewhere.

He should be up there since he writes all her lyrics. That fraud has done nothing but be white and get herself a fake ass while others do everything else. Nicki Minaj's sorry behind pointed it out at the BET awards. I believe it too after her pitiful attempt at "freestyling". First she didn't even rhyme and then she just rapped about some ex boyfriend instead of what a real mc would do, spit about his or her surroundings right then and there and throw in a reference to the radio hosts.
