 Conspiracy Theory number 1 (for me) |
Cojak |
You may have heard others, but this is the only one I have read:
"Trump will take the reins of Government and declare martial law. He will sit as a dictator SOON."
For eight years I read the 'Conservative Conspiracy Theories." It wasn't a year into Obama's presidencey that I started getting e-mails that:
"Obama is going to declare himself King, or Dictator, or ruler for life"
I got sick of hearing it. Now who knew? The left can produce conspiracy theories. The Free Speech folk. the 'Gov't is working as it should' folk.
I never liked Obama, except for his approach to Cuba. I still like it. I always thought it was stupid (or two faced) to kiss up to Russia, China and Egypt and dismiss CUBA. But I never liked stuff that was NOT TRUE, junk thrown at the man.
Trump ain't my favorite person, but he is MY president. I did vote for him but he in no way has the influence to declare himself anything.
But I guess it has started!

Yeah, there is THAT. As time goes on I expect to see many more 'entertaining' theories that will disrupt our country. I guess the Left will be as nasty as the right was, maybe more so since they have a bigger BULLY pulpit of the media.

There was another conspiracy theory related to the "radical republicans" of that day. The theory was that they (radical republicans Secretary of War Edwin Stanton in particular) were part of the Lincoln assassination. They did not like the plans that Lincoln had for the south and reconciliation and restoration of the union. They wanted a more iron fist approach, so they allowed the assassination to occur to get Lincoln out of the way. They knew Johnson was weak and they could steamroll him.
One conspiracy theory may lend credence to the other.

Some conspiracy theories are fun and laughable. But it is terrible when one can generate enough steam that it becomes 'NEWS' and really takes on a life of it's own.
I just heard Obama will lose his pension! That one really worries me. I don't remember anyone talking about taking Bush's pension when he was paid to make a speech (whether $50 K or $ 400 K it is a ridiculous amount) but it ain't gonna effect a pension.

and now that trump has fired the lead man investigating the Russian thing I really doubt that any evidence will ever be found.
Kind of like the governor firing a state policeman just before he writes him a ticket for speeding. |

If not, then Booth was a huge stroke of luck for them. We know they didn't like Lincoln's plans as they discarded them for harsher measures. The 1866 mid-term elections were poised to be a take-over for the Democrats as the abolition of the 2/3 compromise rule greatly boosted the southern Congressional representation. Ironically, the elimination of the 2/3 compromise had been one of the main goals of the north for decades. When it happened, it almost helped the south in a big way. Therefore, the southern white man had to be disenfranchised and puppet regimes had to be installed in the southern states.
