Headline News: Conspiracy Theorist Taken into Custody for his own Safety


Maloor Numb, a Sullustan known for his wacky take on history was taken into custody by Mental Health personnel for his own protection. He is known for several of his crackpot publications, most notable of which are his insistence on believing that the Jedi Civil War involved the use of a titanic ancient space station fueled by the Dark Side and that in the aftermath of that war the Jedi were largely purged by a man who was cut into pieces and another who could supposedly eat the lifeforce of whole planets.

While largely dismissed as a kook, his latest book has prompted a lot of controversy, connected as it is with the more immediate past. His book insists that the Naboo blockade ten years before the Clone War was orchestrated by Senator Palpatine to build up popular support for him and that he is the one who crippled Chancellor Valorum's ability to lead in order to prompt his removal and replacement by himself.

He weaves together a web of conspiracies involving a red-faced assassin supporting the Trade Federation and suggests he is tied to Palpatine. Then he claims that Dooku and Palpatine conspired together to create the Clone War in order to justify the creation of a large-scale military and weaken the Jedi. He then uses other information to attempt to concoct the ridiculous notion that the Jedi were not responsible for the assault on the Chancellor but that the Jedi discovered the Chancellor's 'plot' with Dooku and moved to arrest him and the Chancellor then moved to eliminate the Jedi as a threat to his rule. This is ended with him conjuring up the old religion of the Sith and insisting that the Emperor is some kind of sorcerer of dark magics.

He said in his last press conference before being arrested:

"It's obvious if you put the pieces together. Why was there a request to repair the Chancellor's office right after the assassination plot? He obviously used Force Magics to throw someone out the window. WAKE UP SHEEPLE!!!"

We hope that he receives the help he needs and can recover from his delusions.
