The term ‘Black Swan Event’ is used to describe a global event that has seriously damaging effects on a country’s economy. Naturally, conspiracy theorists have adopted this phrase and are freely using it regarding the bridge collapse in Baltimore.
Now in the real world, the ship lost power. Maydays were issued. The ship hit the bridge and the bridge fell down with six lives lost. There is NO evidence, NONE, that this was anything other than a tragic accident.
But that has not stopped the conspiracy theorists. Disgraced former Homeland Security head Michael Flynn issued the following tweet that has had 7.2 million hits.
This is a BLACK SWAN event. Black swans normally come out of the world of finance (not military) … There are harbor masters for every single one of these transit points in America that are in charge of assuring the safety of navigation … start there.”
There is a movie called White Lion produced by Obama. The beginning of the movie has a ship running aground The flag on the ship that hit the bridge had a white lion. Yes, Obama was behind it
Another one. The name of the bridge is the Francis Scott Key bridge. Key wrote the Star Spangled Banner. So? stay with me here, this was an attack to undermine America.
Prominent Republicans, such as MTG, are questioning whether this was an accident. The mind just boggles.
