You know, I feel lied to from movies to believe people in these organisations are competent, and I won't deny they are effective at some things, but I'm not sure how many people in it would even comprehend that type of threat to their industry, even if there was one.
Could be wrong though, I keep my tinfoil around for shits and giggles. Ford just dropped their EVs, and Europe is pushing back their ICE manufacturing date, maybe someone knows something the rest of us don't, or maybe it's all a cluster fuck and we're all just making it up as we go along
In this case I was being tongue-in-cheek, albeit in a darkly cynical kind of way. After all, if he had made a breakthrough worth killing him over, that alone wouldn't be enough. One would have to arrange any number of inconvenient fires / break-ins to get rid of the research and data.
Mind you, if you want to sleep soundly at night, you probably shouldn't look into the stories about John Bedini's old mentor John Cejka. That shit's wild.
Oh I know it's cheeky, but I'm usually game to toss a conspiracy around the field for a bit.
And looking into Cejka is the reason why, it is indeed wild. This forum thread is some peak tinfoil hat stuff.
Indeed. Amusing though.
