No. Do not spread more conspiracy theories.

He was driven to take his own life. It was tragic and wrong and the truth is important. Don’t just throw some bullshit out there without evidence.

Yeah, it probably wasn't murder, but considering that the US is quickly becoming a fascist oligarcny just like Russia is, and more and more American whistle blowers seem to be mysteriously dying... I wouldn't be surprised to learn he was murdered. The oligarchs are evil af and any government that can aggressively fund a baby killing genocide is also evil enough to kill people for petty reasons

That was 12 years ago. 1 year into Obama’s second term. And don’t give me some “we were always a fascist state“ nonsense. You need evidence that he was murdered, even in the current climate. And 2013 was nothing like 2025.

“I wouldn’t be surprised“ is not enough to repeat that conspiracy. Certainly not to claim you are “pretty sure” he was killed by the powers that be. It is irresponsible of you to assert that with any confidence.

To be fair, 'I wouldn't be surprised if...' isn't a testimony or claiming something happened, it's voicing a level of disillusionment with something, nothing but opinion.
