Someone please fill me in on whether there is a connection between

Jeff Gannon, the Franklin Credit Union, and Hunter S. Thompson (or between any two of those.)

I read this at BartCop:

Subject: HST

 I find it amazing to have read on Sunday that Hunter Thompson committed suicide over the weekend,
 since most of Saturday I read the stories and transcripts of the Franklin Credit Union scandal.

 Hunter Thompson is one of the people named by the children who were used as sex slaves.
 That story was reported on Democratic Underground and several other webblogs.
 Is this just a coincidence or is there more to this story?
 Just wondering.

Then I did a search here for Franklin Credit Union and it linked to the Gannongate thread with 238 posts. . .

Can someone give me a short version of what the story is? THANKS!!!

1. Pretty please?

2. No link, no issue number, no attribution?

No information!

HST used child sex slaves? Sounds like something David Icke would write.

5. No time for that now, was hoping someone would give a quick summary.

Thanks, anyway.

4. Do you read BartCop? The attribution is the initials of

the person who sent him that message. In other words, it's anonymous, but the guy refers to DU.

7. I forgot to say it wouldn't load for me. Still won't.

:shrug: But thanks!

9. Wow. That's a lot to read.

It also seems like there's a lot of tabloid fodder in there. I hope that the sensationalistic nature of some of the charges doesn't damp the Press' interest in the case.

I'll read through the post(s) and respond, time permitting.

8. my tinfoil hat's as big as anyone's, but this r-e-a-l-l-y stretches . . .

credulity to the max, imo . . . not saying it's impossible -- very little is -- but my gut say "no way" . . .

10. OK, is there anyone here now who has read all the pertinent threads

and can summarize? (I can check back in ten minutes or so and that'll be it until tonight, still no time now to read it all myself, so I'm looking for an answer from someone who's already read the pertinent threads re: Gannongate.)

YES, it sounds very far out but BartCop printed it so the idea is already out there, and truths have been discredited as :tinfoilhat: in the past.

Is there any truth to this?

Or are Jeff Gannon, Franklin Credit Union, and Hunter S. Thompson three unrelated topics?

11. You've all got it wrong...heard that the Imus group was saying that

Thompson shot himself because his wife wouldn't come home from the gym to help him with an ESPN column - what they considered common unexciting writing, in their opinion.
