What are the other conspiracy theories that abound?
The JFK assination?
The Israeli attack on the USS Cole?
The "walk on the moon" was actually filmed in Hollywood?

US "gubmint" and the pharmaceutical companies

America because the Bush's tried to cheat him and
his family out of several billion dollars in foreign oil trade.
The "Lindbergh baby" was not kidnapped by Bruno Hauptmann
but by the US "gubmint" as a warning to Colonel Lindbergh
to keep quiet about what he knew about a "gubmint"
cover-up.
