Legendary rock-and-roller Link Wray released an intriguing song in 1964 called “The Shadow Knows.” It is notable for its guitar instrumental and its singular lyric followed by sinister laughter. Link’s lyrical question is “who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?” His mysterious and provocative answer is “the shadow knows, ha ha ha ha ha.”
Being part Shawnee Indian, Link saw easily through the hypocrisy of white man’s greed, shrouded by his phony posturing for peace and his employment of mercenary armies to plunder other peoples’ resources. The song works well if Link is referring to America’s shadow government, herein known as “Shadow G.” Our shadow government consists of members of the Council on Foreign Relations, the Bilderberg group, Freemasons, the Israeli lobby, the Illuminati, the Trilateral Commission, and others.
Interestingly, the song was composed in the aftermath of the JFK assassination of Nov. 1963. Link wrote only one lyric, leaving much to the imagination, but it is interesting to speculate what additional verses could look like. Who knows who killed the Kennedy brothers and Martin Luther King, Jr.? The Shadow G knows.
Who knows who is really behind the 9/11 false flag attacks? The Shadow G knows.
Who knows if American citizens will ever get the smarts to see the truth or the guts to stand up to the power elite, which now rules this country? On this one, sorry, not even the Shadow G knows. Ha ha ha ha ha.

That’s more like it. It had been almost a month since a 9/11 truth nut checked in.
“Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of me? The Shadow knows!” were the opening lines from a radio show that aired in the 1930-1950s. Beginning in 1931 The Shadow (a crime-stopping super hero) was also featured in magazines.
Take another bong toke buddy. Its all fun to think about, but there is no truth to any of it.
Like Guest (of the sketchily considered responses) and Jeggly (of the argumentum ad hominem) I’m not much of a conspiracy theory fan.
But, unless one is a profoundly ignorant dolt (nothing personal guys, OK) it is hard to miss that a “certain something” missing from the overall picture of the world’s wealthiest nation:
50 Million without healthcare
Worst work vacation/sick days in the developed world
Your boss generally has his/her untrustworthy hands all over your family’s health insurance (Ugh!)
Apparent inability of workers to organize to secure reasonable work standards comparable with the rest of Developed World
Shameful minimum wage – a disgrace
Unaceptably high rates infant mortality and poverty
Religious fanaticism more reminiscent of the Middle East than the Developed World
Record smashing obesity and diabetes levels
Two (only) political parties just to ensure the debate never, ever gets productive
Seems to have the same problems counting votes in General Elections as some African Dictatorships – Hmmmmmm!
The Developed World’s most hilarious K-12 education system, producing functionally illiterate ignoramuses (even at Presidential level, but let’s not misunderestimate him)
Grossly excessive Military spending
A very fearful and easily duped population
Something’s not right
Is it possible that Linkletter did NOT know the cross cultural reference to the radio show in Links’ 1964 song? If that is the case, no surprise that he is a Truther. They seem to have the ability to look at white and see black everywhere they look.

Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha!!!
