what is it with the rich and privileged that gives them a tendency to suicide when the shat hits the fan?

 

[DavidS]

What's George Soro's take on this bullshit news?

Deflection #1.

Well, what is George Soro's take on it? You're one of his followers. What's he telling you through his media mouthpiece that has you brainwashed. Are you capable of an independent thought?

I really don't even know anything about who the fuck George Soros is except some billionaire who's a liberal. That's like asking you what the Koch Brothers think. Who gives a fuck.

I blame Hillary Clinton.

Vincent Foster much?

what is it with the rich and privileged that gives them a tendency to suicide when the shat hits the fan?

Throughout history, those in positions of power and privilege chose suicide over a long drawn out public drama.

It's not a bad practice.

still waiting on foxnews.com

I guess they are doing some fact checking on this, huh?

Well, it's either suicide or murder, cause he certainly didn't die of natural causes.

Which one you think it is?

Having gone through exhaustive evidence of the entire incident, what does the voice of the looney left say?

I have no idea. I'm not a CSI Investigator.

 

[MarcATL]

I'm speculating here, but I suspect foul play.

I think somebody high up, somebody with a lot of clout may have wanted that man silenced, so he couldn't do any further damage.

Just speculation, but it seems to fit the current scenario.

What do you think?

No clue huh? Unwilling to speculate huh?

OK, noted.

 

[boedicca]

I think, while it might be fun to engage in conspiracy theory speculation, that there isn't enough information and that the investigation needs to be completed.

Only a fool would speculate on something like this having seen such little evidence....

 

[California Girl]

the point being that, your melodrama notwithstanding, britain is no more nor less safe than it was with this fuckwit running the met.

top antiterrorist, my ass.

Which bit of "Scotland Yard's top counter-terrorism officer quits the day after his boss Sir Paul Stephenson" requires explanation?

John Yates resigns from Met police over phone-hacking scandal | UK news | The Guardian

For the record, Britain does not have the counter terrorist resources that we do.

the bit where the head of a govt bureaucracy does any actual useful work.

now, sod off

He was a police officer, and yea, senior officers do useful work. You are, of course, welcome to your opinion. I base mine on first hand knowledge of the UK police, and the Met in particular.

This is how people think these days. Speculate - and call those who disagree with you 'liar'. It's funny, and kind of scary.

Don'tcha wanna have some fun speculatin'?

Speaking of Fox News - latest ratings. They continue to kick ass -
In addition to an inability to run a nation - seems the Liberals can't even run a news organization.

Whistleblower in U.K. Phone-Hacking Scandal Found Dead - FoxNews.com

 

[MikeK]

I missed the first season of this soap opera. What happened now? Who hacked what and why should I care?

The reason this story has such short legs thus far is the terminology assigned to the offense(s) under investigation. The media is calling it "phone hacking," which is a relatively amorphous term. The word "hacking" evokes images of mischievous teen-agers breaking into others' computers for the hell of it.

The proper word for what is being investigated is systematic wiretapping, which is what brought the Nixon Administration down. The major difference in this example is the scope of the illegal activity dwarfs the Nixon scandal. At this point it is believed that high-level officials in the British government and Scotland Yard are involved in a massive conspiracy to unlawfully invade the privacy of thousands if not millions of people, possibly including Americans.
