I don’t have any additional insight into or commentary to add, other than to note that it’s wild to start making investigations some 30 years after the event.

    It isn’t a conspiracy. Rich people have been doing crazy evil shit and keeping it out of the news since there have been rich people. They have always owned the news which is why consistent narratives didn’t start breaking down until the dawn of widespread internet use.

    Perfect example: Look into the Vegas mass shooting.

        It’s wild how the way the word “conspiracy” got devalued from being “there is a criminal agreement to do crimes happening behind closed doors” to sit alongside “yall heard the aliens working with bigfoot to sap and impurify your precious bodily fluids for Ivan?” was a literal conspiracy by the CIA to boost crank shit in the counterculture and delegitimize any talk of the actual crimes the feds were actually, more or less openly, doing.

            Do you mean it was erased from news archives? Or just that it stopped being covered in new reporting once new info stopped emerging? Yes, it was a huge incident when it happened, and then there were some updates as they found out some things about the perpertrator. But after that, it stopped being news, I would have expected. The Wikipedia article has a lot of info and I remember looking at it a while back for some reason. Is anything important missing from it?
