There was a movie that came out in 1997 starring Mel Gibson called Conspiracy theory where this cabbie has this crazy theory about the inter-connectedness of world events and how government intelligence agencies manipulate world events to have the MSM focus on certain things. This weekend's events made me think about this.
In 2004, I was in Ukraine for the Elections, now known as the Orange Revolution, and as soon as the re-run of the elections was done and while the results were in legal limbo, an earthquake with an epicentre in the Indian Ocean Tsunami swept throught Southern Asia, hitting Sri Lanka, Indonesia, India and Thailand.
Just like whenever a prominent Western looking person gets poisoned be it Litvinenko or Yushchenko, the Russian security services always say, "Must have been some bad sushi."
So I was surprised in a cartoon abstract way when following yesterday's 90,000 person pro-Yushchenko protest in Kyiv, that a Tsunami had swept through the Soloman Islands.
It really is a tragic event, that really had nothing to do with Viktor Yanukovych's Russian backers, but since it happened on April Fools Day, I am left to wonder "or did it?"

But it wasn't the Russian secret services who said that in the Yushchenko cases, but the Ukrainian ones.
Dear pumpernickel. Conspiracy theories will drive you mad, except for the ones that are totally, well... mad.
