I guess all this wonderful art has to do with money laundering.

There's never been a scintilla of proof of the money-laundering schemes alleged on VOAT--that high prices for modern art are a way of hiding money laundering.

In fact the case I have seen for art involved in money-laudering involve UNDERPRICING THE ART to avoid import taxes or to be able to move large sums across border in physical way----take a $5 million painting to customs and declare it at $200,000, then resell it at its actual value and pocket the cash.

These second type of scheme and indeed the entire art market involves the art actually fetching high prices outside of any criminal scheme.

You and I aren't privy, because there's no "evidence" to us doesn't mean speculation is not warranted.

What do you think, is Adam Schiff a creep or what? Be honest, I have to log off soon. How about Q, you like Q ?

....doesn't mean speculation is not warranted.

Yes, but theory being speculated about makes no sense. If I sell you a 1,000 dollar painting for 600K because it's really about moving money from elsewhere, and you try to sell that painting you're not going to get 600K for it. You're now out 600K. You don't actually see these wild price fluctutations in the art market. Prices are far more stable. If art was being moved at high prices for which there was no demand for that art, you'd see wild fluctutations all the time.

No I don't think Adam Schiff is a creep.

Q is fantasy.

Well if Scalia was that screwed up what was he doing a million miles from home in the middle of nowhere. And this is nowhere trust me I been there several times. And no autopsy. In Texas. But that wouldn't bother you cause you're not concerned they stole JFK from Parkland, weapons drawn, eyewitness testimony, defying Texas law.

You're majoring on minors

???

And remember how nice I have treated you okay? ???

You don't have to have an autopsy when an old person in poor health and heart problems dies in his sleep and no signs of foul play.

This is a famous supreme court justice you dummy. Who died in Texas. With initial conflicting reports about the positioning of the pillow.

Are_we_sure ago

And .....so? Because he's a justice, we should overnturn the law and his family's wishes?

The only initial conflicting report about where the pillow was found was from the rancher who clarified what he said when asked a direct question. He's never changed his story. The controversy was basically manufactured.

Texas law requires autopsy unless it's been changed, and we should have learned via Kennedy to obtain one for such high profile people, and all Congressional members should undergo drug testing. Now get on the Q train.

Texas law requires autopsy unless it's been changed,

That is not the case. In these very large, sparsely populated counties, the Justice of the Peace can be hundreds of miles away. Given that there were not suspicious circumstances, she was able to proclaim cause of death by speaking with the law enforcement on the scene and his doctor. He was in very poor health. His family did not want an autopsy.

The Texas judge who pronounced Justice Antonin Scalia dead over the weekend but did not request an autopsy defended her decision Tuesday in the face of questions and conspiracy theories floating online, saying she was respecting the wishes of his relatives.

After Scalia died suddenly at a remote West Texas resort, a chaotic and confused scene unfolded in the remote region not far from the border with Mexico. It took hours to find a justice of the peace, and when they did, Presidio County Judge Cinderela Guevara pronounced Scalia dead without seeing his body, which is allowed under Texas law.

This decision was made based on what Scalia’s family wanted and what she was told by a law enforcement official, Guevara said.

Guevara decided against the autopsy after the county sheriff told her “there were no signs of foul play or struggle, and that it appeared that Justice Scalia had died peacefully in his sleep,” she said in a statement Tuesday.

....After that, Guevara said, she reached out to Scalia’s attorney, who said “that the family requested that there be no autopsy, that they believed Justice Scalia had died of natural causes, and they preferred there be no delay in the return of Justice Scalia’s remains to Virginia.”

She then reached out to Scalia’s personal doctor, who “stated that he believed that the death was due to natural causes,” according to Guevara.

Kennedy of course, did have an autopsy.

Yeah I know all this.

Are_we__sure ago

But you're such a normie.

I always think this is hiliarious when used as an insult. So I"m an non-paranoaic? I"m not austistic? What does that even mean?

Citing WaPo gets you no brownie points round here.

Think that concerns me?

we're about to get some truth

A boy can dream.

The old saying if you don't know who the sucker is in the room it's probably ... that's a normie. Blind sheep. Pollyanna's. It's okay my wife is a normie. You could use a little paranoia. You think everything's okay, it's all good, nothing to see, nothing wrong. While Rome burns. I'm still trying to get you fixed.

Actually I've found that folks on this site are absolute suckers for the likes of Alex Jones or George Webb or YourNewsWire....etc, etc, etc, or various Anons. Unbelievably gullible over and over and over again.

You think everything's okay, Actually that's not me at all. I don't think everything's OK, but I understand the difference between actual skepticism and the nihilistic,cynicism that passed off by people who think of themselves as more highly discerning. In reality, there response are absolutely knee-jerk and they have tossed all discernment out the window about with the bathwater and the baby.

I know, there are some nuts on here, the quality of the site has gone down, of the posters, but Qanon is helping to reinvigorate. You do think basically everybody in govt. is fairly well intentioned, good hearted, etc. That the world is not ensconced in evil. Should you not think outside the box a bit more, do more abstract thinking. Also, have you considered working for yourself. Also, how do you stand getting attacked and downvoted so much here?
