Paul Walker

I can't help it! The feeling of sadness after watching the latest Fast and Furious 7 (2015). My friends even cried after we watched it in the theater. They obviously were in love with Paul Walker.

Paul Walker died after a car accident. It was a surprising death of an actor who you always see riding a cool car in a movie. No one even thought that the one which brought him to stardom will be the cause of his death.

It was November 30, 2013 when the accident happened. His friend, Roger Rodas, had been driving the car at a speed of 160 kilometers per hour or 100 miles per hour before it hit a concrete pole and several other trees. Then, it bursts into flames after, although it was believed that Paul Walker died through those impacts they'd been.

Paul Walker (Paul William Walker IV, his real name) was born on September 12, 1973 in Glendale, California, U.S.A., and died at the age of 40.

Before he died, he co-hosted a charity event for the Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) victims in the Philippines in Santa Clarita, California through his non-profit organization, Reach Out Worldwide (ROWW).

Anyway, I always heard this conspiracy theory on what really is the reason of his death, and that's what we're going to talk about today.

The Origin

According to http://au.ibtimes.com/, below is the post that originated rumors about Paul Walker's death:

"Paul Walker and his friend were killed shortly after they discovered a conspiracy to supply victims of Typhoon Haiyan with a prototype permanent birth control drug hidden in medicinal supplies and food aid. They had a damning recording and they were on their way to rendezvous with an ally who would have helped them get in touch with the right people. Turns out they were betrayed and someone rigged their car's breaks to malfunction after a certain speed. Now that the loose end has been tied up, and the recording destroyed, the people responsible have nothing to fear as this will become another "conspiracy theory" no one will take seriously."

I don't know if the creator of this is trying to connect it with the Reproductive Health Bill in the Philippines, which is as of now been discussed. Philippines continuously grows in terms of population, and such act of including a pill for birth control in relief medicines is one way of reducing the population, but one thing is alarming here, it says that it was a permanent birth control.

Well, obviously the person really dislikes the idea of birth control and RH Bill.

Another one, with a different story, came, which was posted on the same forum as the one above:

"Apparently, Paul Walker had discovered dirty money in the Philippines disaster relief and that would make sense because he owned a company that specialized in rapid disaster relief."

It was suggested that the money in the relief funds was being pilfered by the corrupt officials of the Philippines. These are not an unavoidable case of doubt for Filipinos, especially the Pork Barrel Scam was still fresh that time.

Afterword

These rumors only mean two things: First, they can't believe that Paul Walker died just like that. And second, they don't want to believe that it's really just an accident. On the other hand, people are trying to make stories behind what's happening in the Philippines. I strongly believe a Filipino created such stories if not then I'm wrong.

2013 had been very harsh to my country. Small typhoons unexpectedly flooded places which usually don't flood at all. Earthquakes struck Visayan provinces and cities, then the gigantic and ferocious Typhoon we named Yolanda destroyed and wiped out a great city into a desert of debris. Then 22 days later, an actor who helped Filipino victims suddenly died.

Every time I see videos of the Typhoon Yolanda victims, I can't help regretting I was celebrating my birthday the same time it was destroying and killing hundreds or thousands of my countrymen.
