I agree but I do believe to Jo Cox murder is somehow linked to EU referendum vote. Mainstream media is not enough for me, more and more stories like this will [Link] emerge until remain wins. All engineered. You come across as completely paranoid. Anyone who doesn't agree with you is a sheep, stupid, zombies. You can't always have all the facts because unfortunately they aren't always known. Once someone starts a conspiracy theory it is almost always impossible to disprove.

Because someone has a liking for the iconography of a particular movement or is a member of a political movement does not mean he represents them or acted on their behalf. It doesn't even necessarily mean he acted because of those reasons. He could just be nuts. The two things aren't mutually exclusive. As for conspiracies. I'm not keen on coincidences. Especially as these sort of coincidences seem to happen rather a lot. One can say that this murder was a result of the heated atmosphere of the EU debate and it might be that simple but remember that JFK and his brother Bobby were supposedly killed by a lone nut cases and they are still sticking to that ridiculous story. The problem is, that people have tended to 'focus on the evidence' that suits them, and not the answers to those questions. It may well be a case that the two Kennedies were not killed by Oswald and Siran Siran, but the evidence presented by conspiracy theorists isn't as compelling as they present it, when you read the counter-points. Part of the problem is the JFK movie and the book its based on, actually contain a lot of 'evidence' that's based on errors (notably the proficiency of Oswald as a shooter, the position and height of the seat, the 'magic bullet' etc. These don't bear much weight when you use a point-counter-point analysis. People I think are drawn to conspiracy theories to deal with 'shock events' as a means of facing down the existential nature of reality. The idea that a shadowy cabal is secretly directing events, is preferable to the idea that 'anyone, anywhere' exists in a fragile existence where life could end at any moment. Its interesting that conspiracy theories are also proportional to the degree of media and social impact the event has (media profile and media coverage) which of course would create greater and greater existential crisis in the self, and the more appealing a controlled universe, even one that is controlled by evil intent, becomes. Its interesting that where the CIA and their ilk have actually engineered murders, such as in Vietnam and the middle east, the public generally aren't that interested - It requires a high media profile and dramatic impact on our sense of being in the world, to create a conspiracy theory.

Sorry I meant Europes only major Muslim country. Personally I don't want Turkey to become part of the EU on many grounds. However if the economic outcome for Turkey could be used to reduce the appeal of Islamists among the poorer members, its maybe viable. Moral issues vs ethical objections and general pragmatism.

i dont think it is a coincidence as such. its the ramping up and hysteric tone from all directions that has the potential to filter through to the mentally ill and extremes of society. it is such a polarised time. i no longer care so much about what the result is though i appreciate many do. its just as important to mentally be ready to adapt to an uncertain future that is going to be largely out of our control whatever the outcome.
Brainwashing techniques have been shown to have the ability to make people kill and then not remember why they did it. I am not saying this is the case here but other assassinations in the past have had the hallmarks of possible brainwashing. I suppose there is the type of person who always dismisses conspiracy theory out of had and those who believe them all. I would just look at the facts as they are presented and keep an open mind. Do we believe that David Kelly conveniently committed suicide? Or that the rather troublesome Princess Diana was in an unlucky accident? Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (20 Jun 2016 1.13pm)

In the case of the Kennedy's. I am sure that many conspiracy theories have got the details wrong. There is also always a tendency to concentrate on the same details and ignore more telling facts.

This is a national disgrace. We once kept the mentally ill in big buildings which was terrible for them but now we have gone full circle and now the public are at risk. That's the effect that DoLS (Deprivation of Liberty)and the Care ACT are having on the way Health and Social Services can deal with these individuals. So much paperwork and hoops to jump through all the time in fear of missing something which will land them out of a job.

Despite what people think of me, that I'm this, that, the other... My purpose of writing or copy pasting on here is purely to try and awaken people to alternate media sources and rather than just rely on mainstream media outlets. Investigative journalists such as Donald McIntyre get under the skin of their story whereas news journalist regurgitates news wires that all stem from one or two sources. No one fact checks anymore. News feeds come into television stations via Reuters or AP feeds, accompanying the video are news wires that the channel subscribes to. Using the wires and the feed journalist sit either in the edit suit with a producer and editor to turn the story around quickly. They are NOT on the ground at the scene investigating like murder she wrote Jessica Fletcher. Yes reporters are sent to the scene but this is generally for live links or piece to cameras. I would rather take the basics from mainstream, read up articles from the likes of Jullian Assage and Edward Snowden, Vice and so on then come to my own conclusion rather than be force feed bu11sh1t from BBC ITV CH4 SKY
