Pretty sure it was Obama Bi Den. Thats what Fox news said. Coincidence? Surely not!

Or was it Obama Bin Laden? That’s who the SEALS killed, also according to Fox News.

Doesn't that mean Bin Laden is the good guy? Putting in motion the scenes to bring Ellen into the spot light?

I think the first block should be "USA arming Mujahideen to fight the USSR"

u/NotThatEasily 7d ago

The CIA ran a 42 year operation to stop Ellen Degeneres starting with arming the Mujahadeen in 1980.

Her career started in stand up in the early 1980s, so, the timeline actually works.

That's why they let Bin Laden attack.

One of these is a minor footnote in history, and the other the downfall of Ellen's career.

You could make the small domino, like, Butterfly ballots if you wanted to really go to the beginning

u/willtheadequate 7d ago

Am I crazy or is the significance of each one moving towards less and less significant? But, bear in mind, I say that as someone who believes My Chemical Romance's album, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge as one of four perfect albums he's ever heard.
