funny story: greg gianforte donated a lot of money to Montana State University so they changed the name of the CS school to Greg Gianforte School of Computer Science. they wrote a big press release about it, but in the editing process someone ran spellcheck and it got published with his name written as Greg Pianoforte all over it

I think he got exactly what he wanted, and while I don't think it was a conspiracy, I encourage others to either think it is a conspiracy or to actively spread the rumor that it was a conspiracy because there's no more fitting tribute to that batshit crazy man.

Ethics complaint and award

In September 2011, a liberal advocacy and lobbying group, American Family Voices, filed a complaint with the Office of Congressional Ethics against Issa, alleging he had repeatedly used his position of authority on the Oversight Committee to improperly intervene in dealings with Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch and DEI Holdings, all of which Issa is associated with in some way. Issa's office rejected the allegations.[82]

The year before that the Project on Government Oversight, a government watchdog group, awarded Issa with its Good Government Award for his contributions to government oversight and transparency. These included publicizing documents produced by the New York Federal Reserve Bank in response to a congressional subpoena, publicly exposing the NYFR's secret "back-door bailout" of AIG's counterparties, and cofounding a Transparency Caucus dedicated to "promoting a more open and accountable government through education, legislation, and oversight."[83][84]

My favorite part is his connection to Bigelow and the heavy implication that he's spent time at Skinwalker Ranch. Even if it's all bullshit/misinformation, I loving love it.

Regarding UFOs and aliens, no evidence is going to convince non-believers of their existence, on the flip side believers don't require any further evidence to validate their belief

Wanting to believe (instead of just believing) implies your beliefs are constantly being invalidated in your own mind, so I guess it's an expression of disillusionment in the face of constant swamp gas/weather balloons/geese lit by street lights

My favorite political conspiracy theory is that the Eisenhower administration made contact with the "greys", and because they hadn't determined to what level elected officials should be in-the-know, Nixon also knew- and they were the last elected officials to have knowledge of it.

And my favorite favorite part is Nixon taking Jackie Gleason, himself a UFO nut, to see dead alien bodies at some military base in Florida

Of course, because it was the Cold War, you can't leave the Soviets out of the mix
