Wow, the local morning show this morning, at around 7am CT, called this. The host, who's semi famous around Minnesota, was like "He's been dead since he got back from Cuba or at best on machines keeping him alive as a vegetable. But honestly I think he's been dead for months and the military and his chronies just needed time to plan for his succession." They (or no one really) had heard this new this morning as it was only recently announced.

Odd timing for him to have that conversation on air, and he mentioned he heard from someone in government who could know these things that he's been dead for at least a month. Then the official news of his death comes out tonight... too weird.

/takes tinfoil hat off.
