The amount of figures within OWS and BLM that died under strange circumstances is pretty not comforting knowing the organizations who do things like that have near impunity and control of information.

Any sources on the many deaths under strange circumstances?

Feels like the false stories you hear about people that opened tutenchamuns grave.

6 in Ferguson, probably among the one that made more noise.

OWS Demonstrator death here

Another OWS demonstrator and community organizer

OWS Demonstrator, Author and powerful community force here, seems less suspicious than the others but also the person is more critical to the movement and had a sizeable reach in his capacity as an author and anthropologist.

I’d have to ignore a lot of history to consider it impossible for the same people who thought they could control minds with LSD and did put microphones inside Russian street cats to have a hand in this.

There an even older gentleman deeply affiliated with OWS who also passed but again that looks even less suspicious that David Graeber, like the scene is inherently less ‘manipulatable’ which is not to say its impossible. This is the pattern that a lot of people saw and discussed.

So 6 people in a span of 3 years in an area with a life expectancy of 56.

The two in the burned cars were the likeliest related to the protests and murdered, but it’s much more likely to be some gang bullshit and not targeted at all.

Wikipedia says this about it:

As of March 2019, Ferguson protesters have continued to receive threats to their lives or wellbeing

The articles you posted mention this

The 2010 U.S. census showed that while people who live in wealthy and mostly white western St. Louis County can expect to live well into their 80s, life expectancy in parts of mostly black north St. Louis County reaches only into the 60s. Life expectancy in Kinloch, a few miles from Ferguson, is 56.

Forty-five of the county’s 60 homicide victims last year were black in a county where less than a quarter of the population is black, according to police statistics.

I don’t think it’s any conspiracy shenanigans going on and not government members that killed them suspiciously…long after the protests were over. It looks like a horrible place to live, especially for black people without any perspective for a future.

It smells like “I want to believe”, not some deep state revenge after the fact.

It doesn’t even look like a statistical anomaly that much if you take everything into account.

Here’s a link to suicide rates in the US.
