Gee, They Are Not Paranoid

With the recent news of Ken Lay passing away to the Enron in the sky, the Loosers have begun formulating their conspiracy theories, as to how he is not dead, or alternatively was murdered. They are even tying him to 9/11. Hey, why not, if you believe the hijackers are still alive and Barbara Olson is running Lira counterfeiting rings on the Polish-Austrian border, how much more of a stretch is this?

You know, as soon as I found out he was dead my first thought was...."I wonder how long it will be untill CTers start claiming he was murdered".

Joan, Lay was convicted on six counts of conspiracy and fraud because of his direct involvement. What is your point?

I think it's a safe to assume Lay was probably scared of going to jail. That's why I think this whole "heart attack" buisness is a joke.

We all know what people do when they're scared... they jump out of skyscrapers.

My guess is that Lay took a dive out of the Sears Tower. It was probably caught on video by at least a couple tourists, but that video was obviously confiscated by the Feds and the image of him falling was replaced via CGI with a flock of disoriented seagulls.

I dare you to prove me wrong.

"Lay was convicted on six counts of conspiracy and fraud because of his direct involvement."

Heh. Here's a little more meat for the CTs. In the 5th circuit a defendant is not considered "convicted" until he has exhausted or waived his appeals. Mr. Lay's convictions will probably be vacated. This won't exonorate him in anybody's eyes, of course, and the convictions won't be "reversed." But it will complicate efforts to gain control of his remaining assets.

2. How come accountability doesn't apply to people making more serious decisions, like taking the country to war? They just say "I got bad information."

Do you know anything of Enron? All the head honchos were on it, for years they dealt in nothing. Air. They all knew the books were cooked and couldn't care less.

Undense,

Is it just me or does BG and that helicopter guy look eerily similar?

Coincidence? I think not.

Now THAT was funny.

BG, use a little critical thinking. If we assume that the planes were not hijacked, then we've gotta figure that they were flown to some secret location and the passengers disposed of in some way. Now, do you really believe that after all that, "they" gave the planes back to United and American Airlines? Wouldn't that mean that the management of those companies and the mechanics (at the very least) would have to be aware?

I strongly suspect that the necessary paperwork did not get filed for awhile because of ongoing investigations, and then was forgotten.

But the open secret on Wall Street is Ken Lay wasn't doing anything that most of his peers were doing, he was just better at it, and no charges would ever have been filed if his stock hadn't dropped.

Where exactly on Wall Street do you work again?

Seriously guys, how many of you would NOT fake your own death if you found yourself in Ken Lay's shoes?

Weird, other Enron folks killed themselves.

What about Haroon Aswat? MI6 agent and alleged mastermind of all the attacks in London?

Technically, we only know he was an informant.

 
At 06 July, 2006 19:48, Blogger shawn said...

Technically, MI6 told the US Department of Justice he was dead.

Probably because his identification was found on a Taliban fighter.

Technically, he made 20 phone calls between all the bombers in the days surrounding the attacks.

And? Do you even know how informants work? They don't do much if you're around them 24/7.

Technically, they let him go after the attacks despite his being on a no-fly list.

There you go with your leading vocabulary, they didn't "let him go". Nor did they let him in, he slipped in unbeknowst to them.

Technically, he was picked up in Africa with a suicide bomber vest.

And?

On Oct. 29, 2004, just four days before the U.S. presidential election, al-Qaeda leader Osama bin-Laden released a videotape denouncing George W. Bush. Some Bush supporters quickly spun the diatribe as “Osama’s endorsement of John Kerry.” But behind the walls of the CIA, analysts had concluded the opposite: that bin-Laden was trying to help Bush gain a second term.

That makes sense.

who stand behind nothing as the government story changes

I'm glad you're not a scientist. You'd be stuck at the sun revolving around the Earth and spontaneous generation.

JPSlovjanski, BoggleHead, Pat, apathoid,

I've got various issues with comments each of you made. In Pat's case, we simply disagree. Pat, I'll enjoy continuing our conversation, but I don't think this thread is a good place to do it.

Speaking of this thread, I have a suggestion. I realise this isn't my blog: James and Pat get to run it anyway they want.

However, might I recommend that links be used rather than these extremely long comments. If you don't have a web page to create your comments on, why not try:

1) Writely.com (can publish anything to your own URL)

2) googlepages.com

Both of the above are extremely easy and free ways to publish on the web.

Yeah, you're right BG, the lengths of bobbleheads posts are getting rather silly. That last one took 4 fulls scrolls of the mouse wheel. I've got better things to do than waste time scrolling over his garbage.
