    I kind of consider that to be plausible. 330 gallons sounds like a lot but it’s only 6 barrels and there’s way more effective ways to get rid of bodies (which I think is the implication). Also, justice isn’t being achieved, not because of lack of evidence here, but because disgusting crimes are being covered up, and disgusting people being protected. I’m ok focusing on “why aren’t any men in jail for this right now?”

            Non sequitir.

            The presence of an IBC tote would imply the presence of some equipment necessary to move it (at least a pallet jack, possibly a forklift), maybe.

            However, the inverse does not follow: absence of a tote does not imply the absence of the equipment needed to move one. The presence or absence of the equipment is logically independent of the absence of the equipment (even though it would be be implied by the presence of the equipment).

            This is called denying the antecedent. In symbolic terms:

            Conditional: p → q
            Inverse: ¬p → ¬q

            (p → q) → (¬p → ¬q) is False.

            If you’re going to make claims on the Internet, it’s worth learning at least a little propositional logic.

              Also, forklift attachments exist specifically for grabbing and moving barrels around. One of them is called a parrot beak.

      We wouldnt have to speculate if the DOJ would do their job in a way that allows the population to trust them. We dont get that though, so we have to be the justice ourselves to a degree by demanding total transparency and that also means questioning to ensure information comes out if its there. Thats my take.

      People are being left to fill in the gaps and that causes mass confusion and makes people question real evidence. Its not okay

        I don’t disagree at all. The process we’re forced to go through because we seem to be the only ones that care is maddening

          Its so depressing, honestly and its purposeful. They want confusion. The American government is pretty damn good at Gaslighting and confusing the public, honestly… It wouldnt be the first time… and I have never been one of those tinfoil hat types. You can even go back and think about the Tuskegee experiment, MKUltra ect… among others… Its messed up how much they view us as manipulatable pawns… and this isnt to say other Governments dont engage in similar crap, too but ours is pretty dang experienced in the art of deception now.

          P.S. MK Ultra feels cheesy to bring up at all due to the stigma but it happened and its messed up but its an example of purposeful manipulation.

      Yea seems a lot easier to just take a body out to sea and drop it. They won’t even know where it ends up between the depth and the currents. I doubt a body would even last that long on the sea bed.
