I am exactly broke brained to the point where every possible explanation for this is believable to me. It's a CIA op? Sure. It's a mass delusion? Yeah okay. It's crickets? Alright that makes sense. All US claims are true? Lol i guess broken clocks and all that.

I feel like ideologically I should favor one explanation over another but this story right here is my personal fulcrum between normal and crazy

Another funny point is that the biggest panic was in Cuba but then once they all got worked up State Department mooks started claiming they'd been targeted in like Brisbane and the DC suburbs, so the US explanation for this is that it's a worldwide plot by Russian intelligence with cooperation from the governments of Cuba and Iran.

They should’ve just made up nonsensical nicknames: “Looks like Donnie No-Pants is up to his old tricks, am I right?” Of course then Trump and his supporters would’ve tried to own it by actually not wearing pants.

Charlie Kirk already tried that and it didn't go over too well.

Isn;t it that they sent increasingly smaller and smaller amounts just to see who kept cashing the checks? Like it started at $1 and they kept going lower and lower?

if I recall correctly they did with a lot of famous/rich people and only Trump and one other person were the ones to cash the really tiny ones

google tells me yes:

quote:

Spy correspondent Julius Lowenthal wanted to know just how cheap some of the city’s richest figures were. So he set up a company, called the National Refund Clearinghouse, and sent letters with checks for $1.11 enclosed, “for services that you were overcharged for.” The letters went out to 58 “well-known, well-heeled Americans,” 26 of whom promptly cashed them. Curious as to how low they might go, Lowenthal sent those 26 “nabobs” a second refund check, for $0.64. This time, 13 people cashed them.

Finally, he sent those 13 respondents a check for $0.13. This time, only two people cashed the check. One was an arms dealer. The other was Donald Trump, whom the magazine identified as a “demibillionaire casino operator and adulturer.”

No longer will the attorney general be photographed in front of two partially nude statues in the Great Hall of the Department of Justice.

The department spent $8,000 on blue drapes that hide the two giant, aluminum art deco statues. For aesthetic reasons the drapes were occasionally hung in front of the statues before formal events. The department used to rent the drapes, but has now purchased them and left them hanging.

Justice Department spokeswoman Barbara Comstock said the decision to install the curtains was made by Attorney General John Ashcroft's aide who handles advance work. "It was done for TV aesthetics," she said.
