      I’ve literally said from start to finish it’s a wild conspiracy theory with no evidence, I have no reason to believe it’s true nor should anyone who saw what I said.

      And I’ll add some “in case you’re a moron boilerplate” to it

      Though in this scenario I’d be a 3rd party source, as I heard it from a first party. My credibility is suspect as you don’t know how valid my claim is anyways.

        This is actually needed. People see the conspiracy disclaimer as a wink wink and just believe everything as-is.

      It’s not exactly crazy to talk about the US government assassinating people. The craziest part is supposing they try that hard to hide it.

        What they mean is you have a covert ops team doing missions they can’t acknowledge. Team takes heavy losses in a mission. How do you report those deaths/injuries? Easy: Osprey crash. It’s not assassinations, it’s being able to fabricate a legitimate cause of death for someone who died in a way you don’t want to admit. Not necessarily assassinations. Even accidental deaths could be covered up this way according to the rumor/theory if the accident was something they didn’t want to bring to light. Not saying all Osprey deaths are this or that only the osprey is used for this.
