Break out the rolls of aluminum foil. It's time to make some hats.
It would seem all those rabid Clinton haters never really went away, they had just gone back to their root cellars for a while waiting for a chance to re-emerge. This past week they got one, even if the circumstances are so tenuous, so far out there, it makes the whole zombie apocalypse thing sound perfectly logical..
Here is how it goes: Russian born cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was working on a movie in New Mexico when she died in a terrible on set tragedy. A prop gun wielded by actor Alec Baldwin, through gross, and most likely criminal incompetence, was loaded with a live round. It went off, killing Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza,
Then it turned out Halyna Hutchins husband, Matthew worked for the law firm of Latham and Watkins at their home office in LA. It didn't matter that Latham and Watkins is a global firm with offices scattered from Los Angeles to places like Moscow. What did matter was Matt Hutchins is one of over 3,000 attorneys employed by an outfit defending Mike Sussmann, a lawyer who had worked for Hillary Clinton's 2020 campaign. Sussmann had been indicted by special counsel, John Durham for allegedly lying to the FBI.
To those dwelling in the murky waters of Clinton conspiracies the connection was clear. This was no coincidence, or accident. Baldwin, a known lefty, had done Billary a solid by offing the wife of a guy who may, or may or may not be connected to the Sussmann case.
Now some, particularly those of us not taking heavy doses of Thorazine wondered why the Clintons would put out a hit on the wife of a guy who might be defending their pal. Let's face it, the obvious target should have been the person pursing Sussmann's prosecution, John Durham.
Within a day or so we had an answer to that particular conundrum. A tweet from Halyna Hutchins', "verified," account appeared on right wing news sites. It was dated just days before her death. It claimed she had evidence that would guarantee Mrs. Clinton's incarceration.
The tweet has since disappeared. Research into the account shows it was opened in April of this year and was rarely if ever used.. In fact Mrs. Hutchins thought so little of it she never even bothered to have Twitter issue her that little verification symbol. Her main social media outlet was Instagram where she was active to the end. Her last posts were centered around her work on the movie.. Not surprisingly Mrs. Clinton's name never came up.
In other words the damning tweet was a fake and not even a good one.
It is hard to pin down why huge numbers of Americans are willing to buy into any sort of lie, no matter how outlandishly stupid and cruel it is. They do though, especially when it involves politics and those they fear and oppose.
Years ago it was thought technology and education would rid us of this vile scourge rather like it did witch trials and hangings.
Tragically they both have simply made it worse.

In this era of of multiple 24 hour news services competing aganst each other, they have to have SOMETHING to write about. To me, the question from the gorilla in the corner is, why didn't the guy who would fire weapon, check how it was loaded before using it?
