For probably 3 days now you've been doing the opposite of scoffing at this.

No, I scoffed at people always believing everything the government tells them without batting an eyelash. I scoffed at some of the things not making sense (like then throwing out the Brown kid's name on the radio), but I didn't think for one moment that this was anything more than two rouge idiots. I questioned some of the things that the press/police said, but only because they didn't add up, not because I thought anybody else was behind this.
When I was shown the Craft photo, I scoffed and doubted they'd show up in gear, figured it was photoshopped. But more and more photos are popping up of them being on site, with backpacks. Why?
As I said, I'm not saying that the police/government are lying, and I'm not saying this stuff has any truth to it. I'm hoping the exact opposite, I'm not sure how I'd handle finding out that someone in this country, this government had any involvement in something this horrific. But I'm also not going to just blindly believe what I'm told. You guys make fun of Trendon for questioning authority and questioning what he's told, but he's right. I remember reading 1984 and Animal Farm and Atlas Shrugged in school. I studied revolutionary history. I know what can happen when a society believes what they're told. And for anybody who thinks that people are stupid for questioning what their government does and thinks that things like this are impossible, I suggest you go study the history of the Nazi party and how they came to power. One of the very first things that helped bring them to power was the Reichstag fire, which many historians today still believe was a "false flag" operation. The Nazis used "false flags" as a way to rally their people into giving up rights, and before they knew it, it was too late.
This week, we've seen essentially a military occupation of Boston, and now the suspension of rights for an American citizen. How many people are stopping to say "hey, wait, that's not a good thing"? Call me stupid, delusional, laugh at me, I don't care. I've seen this story repeated multiple times in history, and I'm going to question everything and anything. If they answer the questions, great....but why won't they answer the questions?
