By no exaggeration, it was the event that shaped the world we live in today.

Gavrilo Princip was 19 years old when he did this. 



Because he was underage, he wasn't eligible for the death penalty. He died in prison of tuberculosis a few years later, probably exacerbated by poor conditions.

And that was why they did it. The official history is bullshite. No one with more than three brain cells...


Jeezus. Ok. I'll be the "3 brain cells guy" and ask you: who -specifically- is "They?"

No one planned the outcome of WW1 bc it was unplannable. Once events spiralled, things could have gone many different ways with many different outcomes.

There was a high likelihood of war given the rising tensions. A radical nationalist group, unconnected to any bankers, freemasons, communists, aliens, etc, took advantage of it to try and push things their way in their country.

They failed since Serbia was mashed into a contrived nation called 'Yugoslavia' for the next 70 years.

There are no secret masters, illuminati, banking cabal, elders of zion, or lizard people controlling anything.

There are some rich and powerful people who try to use power to manipulate things in their favor but they usually fail because reality has an infinity of variables that cannot be predicted.


Conspiracy theorists....??

A lot of people say that if the could go back in time and kill one person it would be Adolf Hitler.

But me, I’d go back and kill Gavrilo Princip.

A picture I took last year in Terezín on the street where Princip died in April of 1918.

Fucíkova Street

The Austro-Hungarian authorities didn’t kill him for shooting FFerdinand because Princip was not yet 20 years of age when he committed the crime.

Why, the war was gonna start soon in all likely hood anyways. Princip just happened to be the one.

Meh, selfishly, what he did directly positively influenced the US.

For the world at large, yeah what he did ended up harming them.
