It's sad how many people are commenting on this with insane conspiracy theories and that people are actually responding in support of them. Really shows how falling into echo chambers online and buying into conspiracy theories can cause significant harm to ones ability to think rationally.
it's pretty much impossible to engage with people in a sane way in threads like this. hide and move on.
HN wasn’t always this way, and was one of the last to fall. But yeah, it’s a shame
Conspiracy theories thrive in environments of silence. If no one can talk about their time in government organizations (military, CIA, etc.), speculation is all we have left.
Its only a conspiracy theory if people on the other side of politics believe it
Nothing like politics to make people miss the beam in their own eye
People who believe nonsense about the government assassinating our own citizens come from all across the political spectrum, especially on the fringes. I legitimately don't know the politics of the people commenting here, nor do you know mine.
I confused by this comment. You do not know the politics of people here but I should before making a comment that agrees with yours?
> come from all across the political spectrum
My point is that people are far more likely to call something a conspiracy theory if it comes from the other side to their own

Were Anwar al-Awlaki, and the three other U.S. citizens they smoked at the same time also fringe conspiracy theory?
or maybe you’re just not fully familiar with the rules of engagement Continuity of Government sets for itself.
