Not what went on behind the scenes, but a theory on what this situation will result in...
CNN, after it came through that there was no deal...at all...started talking about who is to blame for this captivation of some dude with an awesome
'stache.
They mused back and forth that hmm...maybe it was our fault. They tried to blame it on the Prez talking about it...but that wouldn't have happened if
the news wasn't covering this.
This was on the news all day for a reason. Either to distract us, or to cause a change somewhere. If it's to cause a change, it's to tighten the grip
on news outlets. Think about it...if they have to run their stories through some agency...or gotta wait a certain amount of time...we can have REAL
Government control of the media.
It would only be a matter of time before it trickles down to teh interwebs. And that matter of time would be very, very short.
but if this was a "clean" situation, I think the Feds threatened him....
or....the Feds were like look, something bad is going to happen already (false flag) it's either you at the center of it or you get to walk away.
ok....my tin foil hat is off now.
