What's crazy is that a month after she sent this tweet, someone blew up the guidestones, and the authorities still have no idea who did it. No idea if they questioned her about it, but that's where I'd start if I was part of the investigation.
The whole thing was pretty weird, tbh. The person who fronted the cash for the project went by a pseudonym, "Robert Christian". The person who was approached to carve the stones for the monument said that he didn't really want to do it, so he quoted a ridiculous price, to which "Christian" immediately agreed. According to the front man, the group he represented believed that humans would eventually bomb ourselves back to the stone age, and so they wanted to provide a guide post for rebuilding civilization. To that end, they designed it to function as a compass, calendar, and a clock, in addition to a moral guide. They inscribed the same text in several different languages on it that included such commandments as keep the human population to a maximum of 500 million to stay in concert with nature, unite humanity with a new living language, don't elect petty people to public office, etc.
Anyway - he donated the monument and the land it's on to the county, so the destruction of it in 2022 was considered destruction of public property, which carries a minimum sentence of 20 years, provided they ever find out who did it.
Yup! No great loss to humanity.
'authorities have no idea who did it'
From what I've heard from a friend who lived nearby, they ain't looking hard. Or at all. They were... controversial, to say the least, with locals.
She didn't even have to get elected governor for her campaign promise to come true! What a rare politician. Well, I guess she no longer needs to run for office. Mission accomplished.
My opinion is that it was 100% an inside job. When they were blown up, the state government wasted no time demolishing what was left and did barely any investigation before doing so. Usually crime scene investigations take a while before proceeding to clean up. Afterwards the GBI slow-walked the investigation to some extent, at least.
If no one in the government had any connection to the bombing, they certainly pounced on the opportunity to cover the tracks. Lots of conservatives thought that those guidestones were literal evil. Not a rational motive but it's certainly a motive.
I'm usually quite skeptical when it comes to conspiracy theories in general but I have a strong notion on this one.
So, either they're terrible at their jobs, or they're complicit. And in either case, they're stupid. That sounds about right.
Normally you would think that someone who would bomb public property would be priority number one. It was treated like spraypaint vandalism rather than something that could potentially hurt people. If it happened in a regular suburban park, they would be searching relentlessly for days on end IMO.
Police: "just to rule you out as a suspect"
*sigh* too good to be true.
Someone recently said that the FBI being run by idiot influencers these days is a danger for national security. Free reign for terrorists at home and abroad.
Well, yeah. The current regime is pretty explicitly pro domestic terrorism when it's their side
