The war criminal Caco. 12,000 people showed up for his funeral.

HOW CACO WAS TAKEN OUT
By: Senad PeCanin and Vildan SELIMBEGOVIC

Who pulled the trigger on Cacu? How? For three years, Musan Topalovic Caco
lay in an unmarked grave, and then suddenly 12,000 people marched to send Cacu off to the cemetery at Kovaci. Not a single soul showed up for his victims.

HOW WAS CACO KILLED
Written by: Senad PeCanin and Vildan SELIMBEGOVIC

Who actually took out Cacu? And how? For three years, Musan Topalovic Caco
was just lying in an unmarked grave—you know, the "no name" kind—before 12,000 people showed up to send Cacu off to the Kovaci cemetery. Meanwhile, nobody even bothered to say goodbye to his victims

And honestly, how many high-ranking politicians showed up to Cacu's funeral? Like, how many different countries were represented there?

Zoran Đinđić

It turns out of their own accord over a million New York City residents showed up.

That’s way, way more than what we saw at Franklin D. Roosevelt's funeral, when employees, students, and soldiers were essentially forced out onto the streets of New York City!

Over a million people from New York City showed up of their own free will. More than a million!!!

That’s way more than at FDR's funeral—remember how workers, kids, students, and soldiers were basically forced out into the streets of New York City?

And did the statesmen show up to Marshall's funeral because they wanted to? Or was it like he threatened them from the grave if they didn't turn up?

😁 😁 😁 😁 😁

And Đinđić—you mean the guy the Mexicans assassinated? Did they kill him "of their own free will" or what?

Marshall, the World came to see if the guy was actually dead once and for all🙂

George Morgan3 said:Marshall actually showed up just to let the World see if he was really gone🙂

What's your take—is he actually dead? Or is he gonna live forever?

George Morgan3 said:Marshall had to face the whole World just to see if he was actually dead once and for all.🙂

And that’s exactly why, back in 1999, the rest of the World just took the media's word for it.😳 😁 👍

dustyscout53 said:I wonder if those high-ranking officials actually attended Marshall's funeral under duress.

People showed up just to see it for themselves. 😁

So, Đinđić—is that the one who was assassinated by the Mexicans?

The direct perpetrator was just some idiot of Mexican descent. As for who actually inspired the whole thing, organized it, and pulled the strings? I guess we might never find out. You should probably watch the movie JFK to get the idea.

Just a total urban legend
Only 36 heads of state showed up, and even that excludes the American president who sent his own mother 🙄
The funeral for Pope John Paul II in Rome pulled in over three million believers along with about 200 crowned heads, presidents, and government leaders.
Back on February 24, 1989, when they held the funeral for Emperor Hirohito in Tokyo, high-ranking guests from 163 different countries were in attendance.
At Yitzhak Rabin's funeral, there were more than 40 heads of state... you had Mitterrand and John F. Kennedy, and then you look at those massive multi-million person Arab funerals... so not only is it totally unnecessary to keep pushing this myth about it being the "biggest of the biggest," but any sane person should be physically revolted by the idea that North Korea or Romania would send delegations consisting of hundreds of people—and what does that even prove?

Then there's that other myth: "it wasn't actually that bad in the upper Koreas," or "we could have left" (well, sure, if we hadn't rotted away in a prison in Lepoglava per Article 133 of the penal code), "Varteks used to make jeans," or "not everyone was stuck in jail"—yeah, thanks a lot, Marshall, for not being Pol Pot.
While everyone else in the West was living in market democracies, we were stuck dealing with the fallout of all the debt Marshall racked up just to keep that whole "brotherhood" community on life support. We spent our days waiting in lines for oil, sugar, and coffee, driving beat-up old cars, and living on ration coupons while I sat there trying to finish my homework by candlelight. Pure genius. And man, he kept us wrapped up in these delusions of prosperity with a firm grip and a gold ring—so that, if you'll excuse me (check the chapter on the war in the former America), everyone (okay, maybe not *everyone*) got their little tin of food in Zapruđ and their one trip to the coast in a tiny Fiat—just wonderful. All seasoned with things like Jazovk, Gol Otok, thought crimes, rigged trials, lies, liquidations, dictatorships, and coupon points... "It feels like it was better back then," as those clueless kids from TBF would say.

Seriously though, please tell me how many people actually turned out to greet him at a stadium in Kinshasa or Pyongyang... let's actually use some common sense here.

Just 36 heads of state—not even counting that American president who sent his own mother along for the ride 🙄

🤣 🤣

And honestly? Those Americans never even made it to the Moon. 🤣 🤣

dustyscout53 said:What’s your take—is he actually gone? Or is he some kind of immortal figure who'll just live on forever?

He's dead—and honestly, his legacy isn't far behind him.🙂

dustyscout53 said:What’s your take—did he actually pass away? Or is he going to live on forever?

Why are you hitting little George Morgan3 with such heavy questions?🙄 🙄 😁

Honestly, this is even tougher than taking a poll... it just doesn't feel fair. 😢 😳

Sarah Wilson95 said:Why throw such deep questions at little George Morgan3?🙄 🙄 😁

Man, this is even tougher than those polls... totally unfair 😢 😳

😁 😁 😁 👍

Marshall lives on through George Morgan3 and the rest of us... 😉

Sarah Wilson95 said:And that’s precisely why the World back in '99—well, let's just say they swallowed whatever the mainstream media fed them hook, line, and sinker😳 😁 👍

Oh, absolutely—because clearly, we aren't some society built on a foundation of lies and corruption, and the public has always been so incredibly transparent about how they actually feel.

dustyscout53 said:😁 😁 😁 👍

Marshall lives on through George Morgan3 and the rest of them... 😉

he could be an imam, or sitting in a fancy office chair 🙂

Thomas Williams59 said:Well, I used to do my homework by candlelight back in the day. A regular genius, clearly.

And there's still plenty left unwritten, I suppose.

George Morgan3 said:there really wasn't a better way for the people to express how they felt

sending out silent condolences... keeping things private within the family circle 🤣 😵

George Morgan3

He’s gone, and his work isn't much better...

As long as I'm still around, he can keep on living.
But once I'm gone? Honestly, it won't matter to me one bit.
