You are not on an even logical keel.

And we are not "telling you what to think". We are explaining to you how your thinking keeled over and how to recognize it.

Democracy depends on the truth. Kid Berwyn Apr 2022 #7

Is there ANY evidence that this wasn't an accident? nt MarineCombatEngineer Apr 2022 #8

I don't know. Kid Berwyn Apr 2022 #11

Welp, MarineCombatEngineer Apr 2022 #13

That's what needs to be understood. Was it an accident or not? brush Apr 2022 #105

Did you bother to research this at all? brooklynite Apr 2022 #44

Where in any of that are the facts? The details? The circumstances? Kid Berwyn Apr 2022 #53

How did it happen? MarineCombatEngineer Apr 2022 #57

You are attempting to say I wrote or implied that. Kid Berwyn Apr 2022 #60

And then you proceeded to post about CIA assassination techniques. MarineCombatEngineer Apr 2022 #65

To show you that pros have a book on it. Kid Berwyn Apr 2022 #67

From 60 years ago? MarineCombatEngineer Apr 2022 #72

I like the emoji. Kid Berwyn Apr 2022 #78

His last report... Kid Berwyn Apr 2022 #35

And this is supposed to mean................What? MarineCombatEngineer Apr 2022 #39

It is his last article. Kid Berwyn Apr 2022 #42

He was more than a good writer, MarineCombatEngineer Apr 2022 #46

He died in a bicycle accident, being hit by a train. brooklynite Apr 2022 #48

how could he not hear the train? WhiteTara Apr 2022 #140

Maybe he did and thought he could get across. brooklynite Apr 2022 #144

"Thousands of people get hit by trains" Effete Snob Apr 2022 #150

You have evidence of that? Have you shared it with the police? brooklynite Apr 2022 #159

Evidence of what? Effete Snob Apr 2022 #162

I interpreted you coming from the other direction brooklynite Apr 2022 #164

Would you mind answering then? Effete Snob Apr 2022 #166

As a professional, I'd say none... brooklynite Apr 2022 #168

So, what you are saying... Effete Snob Apr 2022 #169

I do. WhiteTara Apr 2022 #167

It might change how a person rides a bike treestar Apr 2022 #187

Yeeeaaahhh, MarineCombatEngineer Apr 2022 #12

please take this to Creative Speculation, it is wandering into CT territory Celerity Apr 2022 #14

Really? Kid Berwyn Apr 2022 #16

hired assassins? really? Celerity Apr 2022 #23

Yeah, that's definitely wandering into CT land. MarineCombatEngineer Apr 2022 #25

No, that's from CIA's "A Study of Assassination." Kid Berwyn Apr 2022 #29

You're attempting to suggest that Eric's death was something other than an accident MarineCombatEngineer Apr 2022 #31

It is pure speculation to post about assassination, and disingenuous to say "I'm not speculating!" Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2022 #43

It specifically named Boehlert? iemanja Apr 2022 #182

Now you're putting words in my OP. Kid Berwyn Apr 2022 #26

you just made a post about professional assassins, I put nothing on your mouth Celerity Apr 2022 #28

You want to shut down discussion of Boehlert's death. Kid Berwyn Apr 2022 #30

Nobody is attempting to shut down discussions on Boehlert's death, MarineCombatEngineer Apr 2022 #33

Lol, show me where I doing that. I am calling out speculation by you wherein you are injecting Celerity Apr 2022 #36

No. We are trying to get you back on an even keel where you started in your OP. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2022 #37

Actually, that post was a reply to the post blm Apr 2022 #62

the post they replied did not say 'accidents are just accidents'. so that is non starter Celerity Apr 2022 #70

Earlier in that exchange. blm Apr 2022 #79

again you are making errors in the construction of your argument Celerity Apr 2022 #87

I am reading the thread as it appears. blm Apr 2022 #97

Revisionist framing of the events that transpired, and that I have already documented in Celerity Apr 2022 #113

As I said, in future I'll be more mindful of blm Apr 2022 #130

Many posters will take issue with being implied to have done, or asked about things they did not do. Celerity Apr 2022 #148

False accusation. You wrote "Professional assassins ..." & Celerity wrote "hired assassins? really?" Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2022 #45

Maybe they were professionals, but assassinating in their spare time Effete Snob Apr 2022 #197

Same ones that got Michael Hastings, I'd bet Effete Snob Apr 2022 #175

I am not an expert on that, I was 16, in London still, and buried in uni. I recall it vaguely. Celerity Apr 2022 #177

He had a lot of fans here Effete Snob Apr 2022 #179

I refer you to your Original Post where you admit you don't have facts. So post 9 is speculation Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2022 #32

Right, in answer to a reply. Kid Berwyn Apr 2022 #38

The question asked if you are suggesting X, you then post about X, and then get offended Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2022 #50

Well, duh Effete Snob Apr 2022 #117

LOL. Tucker Carlson says he is "just asking questions". :) . . .nt Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2022 #123

No one is tag teaming, multiple posters are simply taking issue with you positings. Celerity Apr 2022 #99

It's a plot! Effete Snob Apr 2022 #116

So the professional assassins furtively got someone hired as an engineer by New Jersey Transit... brooklynite Apr 2022 #52

That's why I ask. Kid Berwyn Apr 2022 #74

You know what else sounds far-fetched? brooklynite Apr 2022 #81

As you probably know Effete Snob Apr 2022 #103

He was an important liberal journalist. We should at least ask some questions. Irish_Dem Apr 2022 #4

Thank you. Kid Berwyn Apr 2022 #15

Has his family said ANYTHING about this not being a tragic accident? nt MarineCombatEngineer Apr 2022 #20

Nope Effete Snob Apr 2022 #118

LOL. MarineCombatEngineer Apr 2022 #173

We know Putin is capable of anything. Naive to think otherwise. Irish_Dem Apr 2022 #21

Absolutely capable of anything. Kid Berwyn Apr 2022 #66

It should be up to his family what details are shared. Boomerproud Apr 2022 #6

Were it suicide, perhaps. Kid Berwyn Apr 2022 #19

No we aren't entitled to a report. His family is. Phoenix61 Apr 2022 #68

Not real sure about that CrackityJones75 Apr 2022 #73

Sure, the public has a right to know safety issues. Phoenix61 Apr 2022 #89

That is an excellent point. MarineCombatEngineer Apr 2022 #93

And the NTSB will investigate and report Effete Snob Apr 2022 #104

Exactly! And when the report is completed they will release it Phoenix61 Apr 2022 #160

I'm not the person to ask that. CrackityJones75 Apr 2022 #174

Don't think so treestar Apr 2022 #189

Two thoughts PJMcK Apr 2022 #34

The shock reminded me of Gary Webb's death. Kid Berwyn Apr 2022 #51

The first was not a kill shot; it lodged in his cheek. shrike3 Apr 2022 #180

It's ridiculously easy to misjudge how far Phoenix61 Apr 2022 #76

When I read that he was out at ten o'clock, I thought, "Yikes." shrike3 Apr 2022 #181

The OP posted about CIA assassins in thread Sympthsical Apr 2022 #88

I didn't read it that way, I read a question being asked, seeking an answer. msfiddlestix Apr 2022 #193

I'm curious about this myself Saoirse9 Apr 2022 #94

+1, also was there anyone operating the train!? The question is valid uponit7771 Apr 2022 #126

From the outset it was reported there were crew on board the train. onenote Apr 2022 #149

My hypothesis Effete Snob Apr 2022 #198

Still asking what your hypothesis is, cuz what you said is not a hypothesis for Boehlert Saoirse9 Apr 2022 #200

Well you've have to wait for the report Effete Snob Apr 2022 #201

Well then I'll wait for the report, and Saoirse9 Apr 2022 #203
