Don’t just like it. Re-blog to un-sheep everyone.
I need more evidence to believe in conspiracy theories, but a bunch of other stuff seemed kind of fishy also. Like how the guy got shot in the throat and that’s why we can’t hear his testimony, or that CISPA passed during this whole distraction. The third device that they found within minutes without calling a squad or anything, in the library. I wouldn’t base it off of lack of blood or that this guy is not in shock or that he somewhat looks a little bit like that amputee guy. But I wouldn’t put it past the realm of possibility tho knowing the U.S. …aaaand now we all can get arrested for speaking our mind.
