why is it more likely Sanders was the zodiac killer?
Preliminary Wikipedia-level research tells us that the Zodiac Killerâs period of activity is confirmed to have extended from 1968-1969, but speculation places the first murders as early as 1963. Excluding that 1963 murder (which occurred while Sanders was still enrolled in college in Chicago) every Zodiac murder fits on a timeline that does not preclude Sanders as a suspect.Â
However, we can still account for that unconfirmed 1963 murder when we consider that Sanders was actively traveling at the time - he participated in the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on August 28, 1963, but his whereabouts were unaccounted for on June 4, 1963 when Robert Domingos and Laura Edwards were murdered (presumably by the Zodiac Killer) in Gaviota, California. The University of Chicago does not have record of Sanders participating in any summer enrollment at that time, and summer break was well underway - Sanders had ample opportunity to travel to Gaviota and commit the crime.
Following his graduation from the University of Chicago in 1964, there is a period of time in which it is difficult to track Sandersâ movements throughout the country. Vermont news source âThe VT Diggerâ even notes specifically thatÂ
âOne period of his life, the years from 1964 to 1971, however, has been left unexplained.â
It wasnât until the mid-to-late 70s that Sanders became recognizable as the politician we know now. In the intervening years, verbal record puts him at some point on a kibbutz âsomewhere in Israelâ, though a reporter with Forward has been unable to uncover exactly which kibbutz - and when questioned, his campaign did not provide clarification.
Property records place him back in the United States at some point in 1964, but those are far from definitive proof of location. He was in the United States between 1966 and 1971, the Zodiac Killerâs speculated period of activity after the initial (suspected) activity in 1963.
What years are unaccounted for in Sandersâ publicly available history? Of course, 1964-1971 - after which he aligned himself with the Liberty Union Party and made a number of attempts at public office. Why the sudden foray into the public sphere?
It seems simple enough: Sanders is the Zodiac Killer, and he knew he was close to being caught. Where better to retreat to than Vermont? How better to establish his alibi than as an anti-war public figure? Even so, he continued to taunt the police well into the early 1970s, finally going silent in 1974 as he made his first bid for a Senate seat and succumbed to the pressure of greater public scrutiny.
Why is it more likely that Sanders was the zodiac killer? The timeline makes sense. The opportunity was there. The motive? Who can say.
Is it really so impossible?
Oh, and as to why itâs more likely that Bernie Sanders was the Zodiac Killer as opposed to Ted Cruz, keeping in mind our 1963-1974 timeline during which the perpetrator would have had to possess significant physical strength (Sanders was a basketball star in high school) and reasonable mental acuityâŚ
Iâm not saying that I donât think Cruz is responsible for some vast multi-level murder conspiracy, but itâs far more likely that Sanders is responsible for this one.
isnât it funny how gay men are defined by their attraction to men, and lesbians are defined by their lack of attraction to men? isnât it funny how literally everything revolves around men? and by funny I mean misogynistic
1. They donât hide their anxiety, they hide their symptoms. To have concealed anxiety isnât to deny having it â only to do everything in your power to ensure other people donât see you struggle.
2. They have the most anxiety about having anxiety. Because they are not comfortable letting people see them in the throes of an irrational panic, the most anxiety-inducing idea is⌠whether or not theyâll have anxiety at any given moment in time.
3. They come across as a paradoxical mix of outgoing but introverted, very social but rarely out. It is not that they are anti-social, just that they can only take being around others incrementally (which is mostly normal). Yet, on the surface, this may come across as confusing.
4. They make situations worse by trying to suppress their feelings about them. They are extremely uncomfortable with other people seeing them in pain, and they donât want to feel pitied or as though they are compromising anyoneâs time. Yet, they make things worse for themselves by suppressing, as it actually funnels a ton of energy into making the problem larger and more present than it already was.
5. They are often hyper-aware and highly intuitive. Anxiousness is an evolutionary function that essentially keeps us alive by making us aware of our surroundings and other peopleâs motives. Itâs only uncomfortable when we donât know how to manage it effectively â the positive side is that it makes you hyper-conscious of whatâs going on around you.
6. Their deepest triggers are usually social situations. Itâs not that they feel anxious in an airplane, itâs that they feel anxious in an airplane and are stuck around 50 other people. Itâs not that they will fail a test, but that they will fail a test and everyone in school will find out and think they are incompetent and their parents will be disappointed. Itâs not that they will lose love, but that they will lose love and nobody will ever love them again.
7. It is not always just a âpanicked feelingâ they have to hide. It can also be a tendency to worry, catastrophizing, etc. The battle is often (always?) between competing thoughts in their minds.
8. They are deep thinkers, and great problem-solvers. One of the benefits of anxiety is that it leads you to considering every worst case scenario, and then subsequently, how to handle or respond to each.
9. They are almost always âself-regulatingâ their thoughts. Theyâre talking themselves in, out, around, up or down from something or another very often, and increasingly so in public places.
10. They donât trust easily, but they will convince you that they do. They want to make the people around them feel loved and accepted as it eases their anxiety in a way.
11. They tend to desire control in other areas of their lives. Theyâre over-workers or are manically particular about how they dress or canât really seem to let go of relationships if it wasnât their idea to end them.
12. They have all-or-nothing personalities, which is what creates the anxiety. Despite being so extreme, they are highly indecisive. They try to âfigure outâ whether or not something is right before they actually try to do it.
13. They assume they are disliked. While this is often stressful, it often keeps them humble and grounded at the same time.
14. They are very driven (they care about the outcome of things). They are in equal proportions as in control of their lives as they feel out of control of their lives â this is because they so frequently try to compensate for fear of the unknown.
15. They are very smart, but doubt it. A high intelligence is linked to increased anxiety (and being doubtful of oneâs mental capacity are linked to both).
My daughter will ask me for another cookie
after she already had three that day.
And I will start to say âNo,
too much sugar, too much fat.â
But Iâll catch myself and remember
my own mother saying âNo,
you cannot have those chips. No,
your birthday cake is for the other kids -
not for you.â
And I will remember back to school shopping
in too small, dimly lit dressing rooms;
trying on dresses that showed my baby fat thighs
and shorts that all the other girls were wearing
and my mother saying, âNo, wear something longer,
donât show your shoulders, suck your stomach in.â
Donât exist, donât be seen, you take up too much space.
And I will catch myself before I say, âNoâ to my own daughter,
as I imagine her at 10 years old sucking her stomach in
pinching her skin, missing out on ice cream cones.
I will imagine my daughter at 13 memorizing the calories
in a single grape, skipping meals saying she already ate.
And I will imagine my daughter at 15 wanting to disappear,
I will imagine seeing her â a reflection of me â
slowly wasting away.
And I will catch myself before I say, âNoâ
And instead say, âYes baby girl, another cookie wonât hurt.â
And I will let her know she is allowed to take up space
she is allowed to grow out of her jeans, she is allowed
to eat when she is hungry.
I will let her know she is loved
I will teach her how to love herself.
And I will always say yes, to dessert.
Why my daughter wonât use âfatâ as a curse word (via antiproanorexia)
just because you donât look like somebody who you think is attractive doesnât mean you arenât attractive. flowers are pretty but so are christmas lights and they look nothing alike
