    My theory is that one of his security details turned around to ask him a question and accidentally shot him in the face like Marvin in pulp fiction

    There is actually a theory that he was shot by accident by a secret service agent trying to return fire.

      I think this is a bit different: western Zionists may not have personal connections to the Gaza genocide, but they have strong cultural and ideological ones. And given how much western governments are all in on Zionism, it does affect them indirectly.

      A Welsh Rwandan genocide denier is more out of left field

      I don't think it having "ideological connections" makes this metaphor weaker. In fact, I think it highlights exactly why using a comparison out of left field makes the metaphor stronger. The only reason non-fundamentalist-Christians and Jews in the west have for denying the genocide in Gaza is that it has become normalised to do so. If you take a step back and think about why a white moderate "Christmas-and-Easter Christian" (or even an atheist) American, Australian, or European might have a connection to what's going on in the Middle East...like, really think about it, there is no rational explanation. Only because others have decided to politicise it and make it a talking point and a part of political identity, do westerners end up having disproportionally strong opinions about it. It's self-reinforcing in that way, but it's no more rational than the Welsh Rwandan genocide denier, at its core.

        I took physics in high school, so I'm basically a qualified expert. I can confirm that quantum mechanics tell us that this is possible. Exceedingly unlikely, but possible.

        From what i know its also possible for a hand to phase through a table but even if someone would slap a table from the start to end of the universe it would be unlikely to happen (i forgot the thickness of the table)

              This is why it's important to listen to the eyewitnesses. Their perspective might not be perfect, but it's authentic.

                    The "secret messages" part cleanly gives it away.

                    not necessarily schizophrenia, but likely another psychotic disorder. possibly delusional disorder if no other symptoms are met. schizophrenia has several criteria that must be met beyond delusions

                      cant dx schizophrenia without more info. all we can identify is a few reported symptoms from a third party. the secret messages are called Loose Associations and that with the persistence of belief in the face of evidence to the contrary indicates a delusional belief, but those can occur in several psychotic disorders. for schizophrenia we'd at least need to confirm two out of three of bizarre motor activity, disorganized speech, and preferably some negative (withdrawing) symptoms like flat affect, avolition, etc

                        Of course, the idea that the President’s head can just explode for no reason in view of the public, and by implication, so can anyone else’s at any time, is far more existentially terrifying than any assassination plot, so, to avert mass panic and social collapse, the FBI hurriedly framed some local weirdo, and then killed him before anyone could flag that he probably had nothing to do with it, which is the only reason why everyone’s life savings still had any value afterwards.

                                  The Rwanda genocide was the Hutu "people" genociding the Tutsi "people".

                                  I say "people", because both of those demographics are almost entirely artificial and were created by the ruling class in the late 19th century based mostly on the criterium of "Do you own cattle?", and then exploited and the split enlarged first by german colonizers and then by the belgians. The belgians then made it official by printing it on their mandatory ID cards.

                                  And of course, both the Germans and the Belgians preferred the wealthy, cattle-owning tutsi minority over the poorer hutu majority. And when the white colonizers left, the hutu's decided to grab some power back... with genocide.

                                    The satistical chances of every single atom in your body just randomly dispersing and you vanishing is not 0. Just a very, very small percentage.

                                    The statistical chances of only a spot on your body doing that is near infinitely more likely than the first scenario tho.

                                    The statistical chance using our current models and understanding.

                                    We have never observed such a large amount of atoms dispersing through quantum effects simultaneously. There may be some process we are unaware of preventing this.

                                    Which is to say, there is a non-zero chance the chance of this scenario is exactly zero.

                                          I indeed have read somewhere a long time ago (i think back in Usenet days) the conspiracy theory that JFK INDEED was not killed but this whole thing was just a stunt to push his political agenda further and let him retire in peace (you know, like Elvis did).
