Thanks. Had forgotten the actual publication date. Hadn't read the book in decades.

I know it was never mentioned in the story but I think the actual year Gatsby is supposed to be IS 1928.

I am so wondering if it's really dipshit doing this or that he is so far sundowning that his handlers are giving him this to keep him occupied so they can do the real damage. You know, we're watching him and he doesn't know what's going on so the real coup can take place.

We get hundreds of aircraft here for Derby as part of the Festival. Troop carrier helicopters here are just for show. In the last hour alone there have been 5.

I have seen multiple (20ish) open helicopter movements of troops in the last several days. I am not in Portland or Chicago or LA. I'm in Louisville. We have an Air Guard base at the Airport and it is about 40 miles from Ft Knox. I see all of the air movement all the time. I have never seen this

Sounds about right.

I think of it like this, kidnapping is done with the purpose of targeting a person for extortion of their family or government. Disappearing is more like trophy hunting, the target is not meant to survive and is used to terrorize those left behind.

Guarantee the story gets buried now. At the very least it will be spun to make it look like a liberal did it.

It's corporate for "I'm only doing this because, lawyers" or Kiss my ass. I'm gonna go with the 3rd, 🦆 off.
