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.

'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.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Well, yeah. The current regime is pretty explicitly pro domestic terrorism when it's their side

I wish there was a Luciferian cabal party on the ballot.

I'd vote a straight ticket.

Go make one for funsies. "POH Party of Overlords of Hell"

[-] axexrx@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Figure out a way to make the initials pog, so you can double dip on the illiterate / dyslexic republican votes

[-] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

I don't think that ticket would be straight.

This is EXACTLY what the devil wants you to think. WAKE UP!!

So you're saying that the second-greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing Georgia a fiddling contest would get rid of him?

I want that on a t-shirt 😄

I'm not a believer in any of the Bible, but I wouldnt mind a shirt that said God's greatest trick was convincing the masses that Lucifer tried to overthrow him out of jealousy and not because he was a tyrant. You can still find the mainstream propaganda pamphlets in every hotel nightstand.


Like it's a typical story of a tyrant it seems, then someone tries to better things, loses and history was written by the victor. In the mean time Lucifer actually left and made his own utopia somewhere where everyone is accepted with no demands of sacrifice or worship, no more plagues, and without issues like health issues or poverty.

And Heaven spent all their efforts convincing everyone their Utopia was bad and full of torture and fire. "They want things like reduced or removed healthcare prices, even lack of illnesses! That's like socialism or something"

[-] axexrx@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Do they still do the Bible thing? Last couple hotels ive stayed in didnt have one.

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Apparently it's slowly dying.

"Bibles are disappearing from hotel-room drawers around the country, according to a survey from STR, a hospitality analytics company. As AP reported in 2018, the survey found only 79 percent of U.S. hotels had Bibles in their rooms in 2016, compared to 95 percent in 2006."

That’s just Neil Gaiman’s Lucifer.

Except it has more elements of a family spat.

There’s a Netflix detective show called Lucifer all about. Weirdly it would technically be set in the American gods universe, but we only run into stuff from the Abrahamic Mythos.

Sigh....

Rosins up bow....

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Except the devil was robbed.

[-] bitwolf@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

Aren't the guidestones on private property? How would that pan out?

[-] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

It's all in the handbook.
