The Business Plot
View media item 384352http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Business_Plot
In 1933, group of wealthy businessmen, that included George Bush's grandfather, Senator Prescott Bush, plotted to overthrow then President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
I'm making this thread because over the past few months a lot of tragedy's have occurred and with that come conspiracies. Although plenty make dumb assumptions there are equally an amount of people who act as if out government would never hide or manipulate tragedies and pain to it's own citizens for a bigger purpose.
Here are 11 huge events that people at the time of them happening called conspiracy and probably got laughed at and told to shut up too.
Look at some of the basic explanations to these we would never expect:
1) Our own government to literally have mind control over an individual and being able to then control said person
2) Spread a disease amongst those in jail for a study
3) Place a lethat drug in already poverty stricken communities that since then has led to less development, more poverty, arrest records, medical problems and a whole plethora of problems in the black community.
4) Set out to destroy a movement and a person who's movement was all about unity and working together.... They decided it wasn't good for business and shoved a knife in it.
5) Have a young lady make up lies and have her take acting lessons to swing the public's opinion on a certain subject matter.
These are PROVEN atrocities our gov has pulled and yet people somehow still think it's illogical when people question if the government has anything to do with murdering their own citizens or manipulating media to swing the thoughts of America?
Please keep the trolling out and let's have a serious discussion..... With all these things known (Not including what hasn't been proven) how can you NOT question the government when events occur with sketchy details?
