It does seem highly implausible that Pope John Paul I died of natural causes a mere 31 days into his reign - given his known desire to reform the Curia and investigate the tangled finances surrounding the Vatican Bank, poisoning would appear highly likely, especially with both the Mafia and the Christian Democrats having motives to pursue such a course of action.

Who knows? Anyway, JP 1 died just a couple of weeks after Georgi Markov was assassinated in London. I mention that because I've always somehow thought of those two sinister events together, and because it gives me an excuse to quote one of my favourite witticisms from an OTFer or ex-OTFer (whose handle on here sadly escapes me), who said that if Boney M had ever had a hit single called "Umbrella" it would have been about Georgi Markov.

I believe that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone shooter, but I definitely don't believe that Jack Ruby was motivated by anger at the assassination. Oswald was shut up before he revealed too much

I find neither of the NBA ones credible, though I’ve heard them for 25 years.
There’s no point in a quiet suspension. And no evidence I can see that Jordan altered his gambling behavior. So what did that accomplish other than depress TV ratings for a few years?
The Ewing one seems plausible, but I don’t believe the NBA would have rigged that lottery one time and then done nothing since then to help the Knicks win a title. If anything, it seems like they’ve been trying to prevent it for 30 years.

Nefertiti2 Yeh. I'd like to know about the Owen Smith campaign etc.
Don't know about firmly, but it wouldn't surprise me that much if Robin Cook's death was a bit sus, or even John Smith's. Unlikely I know, but it wouldn't surprise me that much.
I think I've lost trust in the Labour Party.Last edited by MsD; 23-02-2021, 23:14.
