Re: Hunter S Thompson dies at 67

well, like so many other milestones i am not aware of...this apparently was one.  seems i vaguely remembered something about his writing when i heard he had "committed suicide".  hum...first initial reaction when i caught some glimpse of the news somewhere...like some sound bite as i traveled thru town one day...was that it was not a suicide.  even cking the brief reporting of his death and who he was in "generic" terms said, nope, more going on here.  not even looking for a conspiracy around every corner...but just a knowing.  after reading the most excellent links here go, absolutely, sure, he was sitting on something and now has mysteriously taken himself out.  does not follow any logic...hip pain, well, he would have enough of an arsenal to take care of that with alcohol and pills...and to just take himself out and give satisfaction to the many that he exposed...no, that would not make any sense either.  the press wants to say he died as he lived, on his own terms.  nice patch job.  no, this seems to be someone who felt he had nothing left to loose and enjoyed the freedom of saying what he wanted when he wanted.  i think he had a lot more to say and was snuffed.

It's all mind over matter. If you don't mind it doesn't matter...

I'm not trying to make anybody "fall into the polarity game".   I read the article and was left a little confused.   Like I said, I hadn't heard of the dude before he went and killed himself.    In an attempt to figure out what the bruhaha was about, I've read the commentaries and tributes to learn who this guy was, what he did, and why so many people are being emotionally affected by this.   And after all that, I'm just plain confused.    So when I ask "is he a good guy or a bad guy" it's not about trying to force someone into a polarity box.   It's a valid musing, considering the possibility that he may be linked to a Bohemian Grove pedophilia snuff film.   That's a heavy duty accusation.    How many people do we ever hear of who are accused of filming little children being forced to perform sex acts on another dead child....then being forced to eat the body?     Are people even catching the gravity of that claim??   That's not something to gloss over, it's something to look into.     I don't care what marvelous bits of journalism the dude may have created over the past 30 years.....if someone is going to claim that Hunter Thompson was there at Bohemian, involved in that, then it needs to be investigated, not glossed over.    And to ask such questions isn't playing the polarity game.   It's asking a valid question.....Is he what he seemed to be?    Is he actually worth getting worked up about??    I mean, who is he??   If he was indeed at Bohemian, was it "just to investigate" ??    Seems a little suspicious that somebody could continue to remain a detached journalist merely observing, gathering notes and evidence while standing behind a camera filming something like that.   

I'm not going to get worked up over it though.   There's no point, cause we'll probably never know, the man is dead, it's over and it doesn't matter I suppose.

Re: Hunter S Thompson dies at 67

Lyra,

Do you have any further links on Bohemian Grove? I've seen the Alex Jones footage but I found it to be a little dubious in quality. Please PM me if you can help.

Gracias,

Alex.

Well, you can Google Bohemian Grove (or use whatever search engine you prefer).....you'll probably turn up a ton of links and information.   That's how I learned about it, anyway.  Bohemian Grove is just one of those things that keeps coming up, over and over again in all the conspiracy research.

David Icke's book, "Children of the Matrix" features a really interesting picture from the 1960's of then-actor Ronald Reagan, sitting next to future American President Richard Nixon, at Bohemian Grove.

Many people have wondered....why would some B-rate actor be rubbing elbows with the future Prez of the US?  !   The fact that we now know what Ronnie became - Governor of California, 2 term President of the US, says something.    It opens up a Pandora's Box of what goes on behind the scnees at these gatherings where the elite hob knob.   

Anyway, do a search on the 'net, you'll turn up a bunch of stuff.......

Not accusing you of forcing anything Lyra. Perhaps if like zonabi I had said "neither; he was in his own world" you may not have responded as though you were being accused of something?  I just concurred  with z's view and framed the same thought in my own style,  but for some reason, and you assumed something that was not intended.

Of course asking was he "good" or "bad" is posing a polarity for our consideration based on the speculations in the article you shared. Either way, as I said, it is irrelevant to me, and that is also a valid point of view for me or anyone to express. Please relax; I am not somehow getting at you because my point of view happens to differ.

Actually..........I didn't share that article.   You'll see that it was Ayahuasca who posted it.  I merely commented on it.  Not that it matters, but just wanted to clarify.    I'm done commenting on it however, because it's all stuff we'll just never be able to know.  I wanted to learn who the guy was, and I think I've heard enough!   big_smile

Re: Hunter S Thompson dies at 67

Seemingly he was a man who was driven to write about and expose the under belly of life, without a great deal of spiritual connection or any.

Or was he reveling in it?  People that have no morals or who have lost hope or beauty frequently like to submerse themselves into the dirt, mostly as a fight against their own conscience.

Re: Hunter S Thompson dies at 67

I hadn't heard about the filming of such a thing at all, or any involvement of that sort on Thompson's part. Perhaps what's involved here is disinformation within disinformation...due to the information's nature? I enjoy some of the Clyde Lewis articles, but this one is, I agree with Lyra, quite confusing.

Re: Hunter S Thompson dies at 67

i also hadnt heard of the bohemian pedophila claims before this either...

and quite frankly, i dont want to know!

Lyra, you want to know who Hunter S Thompson was-- perhaps you should pick up one of his many books...

Re: Hunter S Thompson dies at 67

I've read "The Franklin Coverup". Though it was VERY disturbing as it portrays many victims graphic accounts of torture, murder, satanism, child abuse,etc., it also does a very good job of exposing the inner workings of how these sleazebags operate and isn't afraid to name names and is very well documented. It's written by a guy who was an attorney in the case and known as a solid Nebraska citizen and not as a conspiracy theorist which gives it an edge of credibility.

The reference to Hunter S Thompson comes from an account in the book where a teenage victim describes being forced to make a snuff film at a place that sounds very much like Bohemian Grove though he does not name it as such. He does describe an owl statue in a wooded location near Sacremento which certainly fits the bill. He names the director of the film as Hunter Thompson (who was flown in from Las Vegas). That's what this whole thing stems from.

If that is true, it would certainly make him a bad guy in my book, other than that I've always kind of liked him. I would reccomend the film "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" for a hollywood version of him and some cool psychedelic effects as he is tripping for half the movie.

I'm not sure whether to reccomend "The Franklin Coverup" as it is very disturbing, to the point of effecting my outlook on life as I was reading it but am now glad I did.

"The knights templar were arrested by the French king on 10 13 in the early 1300s, and declared anathema heretical outlaws by the then French pope on 11 22
The dates are important in the templar occult tradition, and the day dates of 13 and 22 are of paramount importance
The highest grades of the templar freemason initiates are 32 (10+22) and 33 (11+22), with the 33rd degree being that of the templars themselves
Hunter Stockton Thompson has 22 letters, and he died on 2 20, which would give 220, or 22 if the zero is regarded as naught
He named his son Juan Fitzgerald Thompson, which also has 22 letters
The movie version of his most famous book, fear and loathing in las vegas, was released on May 22, 1998
Thompson has called “the revelation of saint john the divine�  (33 letters) his favorite literary work, and it has 22 chapters in it.
Does anyone know if it was a double-barrelled shotgun…two barrels and two shells would give the final 22, if it was."
