Georgia Governor Nathan Deal’s Huge Unemployment Conspiracy

After O.J. Simpson murdered his ex-wife, then killed a witness who happened upon the scene at the wrong time, a theory of innocence developed. He was framed by a conspiracy. The theory had a number of problems.

The conspiracy involved a vast number of police personnel who did not know each other before the crime. Had a single one of many strangers not signed on, jail would have been a possibility for many.

Evidence would have had to have been planted while photographers were doing their jobs. How would an individual officer know what photos had already been taken? A picture that showed evidence that another did not would have put someone in jail.

The risk to career and reputation would have been intense. And for what? To frame an innocent man whose previous encounters with police had been so friendly they left his ex-wife without protection?

The final straw was when O.J. dismissed evidence involving Bruno Magli shoes. He would never wear such “ugly ass” shoes. Photos were eventually found in the archives of the Buffalo Bills football team of Simpson wearing those shoes while covering a game some years before the murder.

I remember thinking that now the Buffalo Bills were in on the let’s-frame-conspiracy.

There are actual conspiracies, of course. We knew that well before Watergate changed our vocabulary, putting “gate” at the end of every potential scandal.

Most conspiracy stories that I encounter, at least those involving criminality, dissolve under even cursory examination. How many conspirators does a conspiracy take to succeed? Too many, and the chances of being caught expand like a balloon about to break. What is the penalty if caught? What is the motivation? If the risk outweighs the benefit, it tends to degrade any willingness to participate.

Conspiracy tales need to pass a threshold before we can buy them. A plot by a couple of Russian Muslims to blow up innocent people in Boston is believable. A plot by a majority of American Muslims in some municipality to replace secular law with sharia is not.

The numbers of conspirators needed, the risk of being caught, the penalties, convince me that the first Kennedy assassination was likely not a conspiracy. The Martin Luther King assassination was, at least after the fact, a conspiracy.

The conspiracy theory put forth by Governor Nathan Deal, Republican of Georgia, seems unlikely. It is a theory largely bereft of detail as he tries to explain the high unemployment rate in his state.

It’s ironic that in a year in which Republican governors are leading some of the states that are making the most progress, that they almost, without exception, are classified as having a bump in their unemployment rates. Whereas states that are under Democrat governors’ control, they are all showing that their unemployment rate has dropped.

Now, I don’t know how you account for that. Maybe there is some influence here that we don’t know about. But when you say that California is in a better position in terms of unemployment than the state of Georgia, there’s just something that just does not ring true.

– Governor Nathan Deal (R-GA), September 18, 201

The state unemployment rate has jumped way up to 8.1 percent. That’s according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics in a routine list published on September 19, 2014. That’s the highest unemployment rate in the nation. It’s higher than Mississippi, which had been the state with the highest rate until they got bumped by Georgia.

It’s hard to say just what conspiracy Governor Deal has in mind. He’s only pointing out “some influence here that we don’t know about.” He seems a little indignant about it.

His argument was undermined by his own administration, however. The day before the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics published their list, the Georgia state labor department published its own report. It showed the exact same unemployment rate for Georgia, 8.1 percent.

So the conspiracy involves, not just the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, but also the state labor department of Georgia. That would be the labor department within Governor Deal’s own administration.

This is certainly a wide and ever growing conspiracy with the goal of influencing a couple of routine reports on unemployment. The governor has not yet mentioned the part played by the Buffalo Bills football team.
