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.

...and, with respect to Prince, echoing this nonsense wasn't one of his finer moments.

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.

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?

Oh, Christ. Another weak mind. I'm not going to waste my time on someone who's mind is stuck in neutral. Stay off the wacko websites and go looking for facts, They're not hard to find.

That's right, every toxin that comes into the human body has no effect on the brain or body whatsoever! If you say so...

I. Can't. Even. Sorry, to argue with you is to dignify your stance. Sorry. Bye

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.

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.

Dude is a fucking nutbar. End of story. Didn't he once claim the government is putting shit in malt liquor that makes blacks violent towards one another because blacks drink a lot of that crap?

I can't believe anyone takes this stuff seriously. Go back to your Alex Jones fanpages.

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?

Really? I thought chemtrails are supposed to do that

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.

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.

Lord have mercy! If "they" killed Prince as he said, then why wouldn't "they" kill him since he's the one talking all the crap about them, why would he still be living?

Thats what I was thinking also.

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.
