Well, you might want to look away when he talks up chemtrails. That hokum has been categorically debunked time and time again. Weak minds don't like facts. Also, try to refute idol worship. He's right on some things, very wrong on others.

So Prince was hooked on that Dick Gregory (not surprised).

Doesn't mean that Dick Gregory doesn't have ..issues.

I don't know what issues Dick Gregory has, but Tavis made it clear to his audience, at one of the later SOBU conferences, the year Prince did a concert for the attendees afterwards, and before he introduced the panel, that Prince always had interests in the discussions of those conferences, and would call Tavis after the conference, they would both discuss over the phone for hours the issues discussed at the conference. I watched that conference that was aired live on a span. I remember the camera showing Sheila E. sitting in the audience taking notes, as she attended that conference also.

What like, there's no link between autism and vaccines, and no consequences from GMOs? That kind of debunking, that's what I call wishful thinking.

The world's problems like climate change can only be solved through strategic long-term thinking, not expediency. In other words all the govts. need sacking!

In saying THAT^, are you implying that Prince was wasting his time having an interest in a few conspiracies? Remember, Prince was aware of the the issues concerning chemtrails.

>

Did you see Dick's video though?

He isn't even aware of Prince's relationship with his neighbors.

And he thinks Prince died on the plane.

I believe he was saying that the airplane incident sealed Princes fate. That it was only a matter of time then. Not that he actually died on the plane

I am not someone who sees conspiracies in everything. What would be the point of living if that was the case.

But what I do know, is that something is not right. It makes absolutely no sense to me that Prince is dead. Maybe, just maybe, there is more to it than we know.

Your answer betrays you. Even a cursory glance thru Google will give you numnerous, uncorroborated reasons for what "chemtrails" are. From people who have no interest in telling you otherwise. Tell me you're not that stupid?

Yeah you can't argue because you're a reductionist who can only find appeal in a black and white explanation with no capacity for nuance.

Dick Gregory was a brilliant man & still makes some good points. However, as said above it is sad to see his mental deterioration. I suggest anyone check out his earlier work. His State of the Black Union talk that P. mentioned on TS contained incorrect facts and even a very distasteful rape joke. None the less, people are really missing out if they write him off or are unfamiliar with his life long body of work for the betterment of people.

Galloping credulity has always been a problem at the Org. Chemtrails seem to be especially believed in, possibly because of Prince's falling for them.

This video fits with the other bs ones on youtube claiming Prince was killed by the illuminati and Prince was killed for Jesus on Passover.

I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss what Dick Gregory has to say. That man knows things that would keep us up at night. I take what he has to say very serious.

Contrails must turn the sky white from blue now. They NEVER USED TO.

Yesterday evening, here in the UK, there were NO CLOUDS, blue sky. 4 Planes started criss crossing leaving trails. A few hourse laters, still NO CLOUDS, the entire sky had a white mist across it.

Now what was that? Contrails? My sister used to work for British Airways, I have been around planes, I have observed the skys for 2 decades. Contrailss NEVER USED TO do this.

Contrails or chemtrails, the name is irrelavent to me. The fact is the sun is being blocked out EVERY sunny day. For contrails to do this that means they must contain some heavy metals amongst other toxins.

Either way we need to address it.

No he has not. Dick is a divisive character that offers no solutions.

Does he talk about Glass steagall act? The Fed reserve? The U.S finacial LTD being a private coporation?

He still speaks more sense than the news. That is nothing but fiction.

I'd never heard of him, but it seems he's a stopped clock.

Yeah Dick appears to be out to lunch. But the one thing I always took from him is to accept nothing and question EVERYTHING.

I firmly believe if we knew the truth about everything we wouldn't be able to handle it. From aliens to secret experiments on the human sheeple
just all of it.

Gregory implores you to not just take everything they feed you at face value. Something more is going on. He's hard to take but he does put something on your mind.

20 years is a long time to wait to murder someone just so you can maintain ownership of all of that artist's master recordings. Compare Prince's story to that of Kurt Cobain's for a few minutes and think about it; Kurt was dead a lot sooner!

Not to mention the fact that Warners doesn't own Prince's master recordings. Prince got them ALL back and any deal struck with Warners was a temporary licensing allowing them to release them for a while, but they do not OWN his masters NOR would he have struck a deal handing ownership over to Warner Brothers. There is no "they" and Prince, almost certainly, killed himself. Period.

"They" don't kill Dick Gregory because he looks crazy (which I think he is, a little) but he is also right on some things ---- so they don't kill him because they let him go on saying this shit, and looking crazier and crazier. They did kill Joan Rivers, though. THAT I believe -- and whoever said, if we knew the real truth about this world and aliens and all of that is dead on it. Scary shit going on whether anyone believes it or not. But-- these people (like Dick Gregory) start losing credibility when they take it too far and start grabbing at everything--- like, him saying Prince was killed on the plane?

Also, I do not believe Prince was killed but I DO find it suspect that he was completely alone at Paisley Park and that there was no will. He could have had very specific instructions about what to do with his music and rights to it etc. and someone COULD (probably didn't ) but could have==== come in, made him hand over the will (from the vault?) they could have destroyed it, killed him..... Way off in left field, but crazier things have happened...

You mean knowingly, willingly, literally killed himself?

Or killed himself because he was using painkillers and he realized he had a problem when it was too late?

Because I don´t believe he´d kill himself. That would go against his religion and his principles.

Although that book excerpt does sound eerie in hindsight.
