I wonder how easy it is to start a rumor on the Internet (death camps, the Kardashians are the first silicon-based life form, etc.)
So here are five facts. Put them together in the most paranoid fashion possible:
The Eagles of Death Metal play the Bataclan in Paris.
Dozens are murdered by ISIS.
The Eagles of Death Metal somehow escape uninjured.
Well before the attacks in San Bernardino, the Eagles of Death Metal write the song San Berdoo Sunburn
San Berdoo is slang for San Bernardino
Here's some of the lyrics:
Tapping time with one good finger I got this girlfriend and she's a swinger We make plans and then we head out To San Bernardino
So, what did the Eagles of Death Metal know about the couple who "make plans and then we head out"?
So everyone put on their tin foil thinking caps. I know there's a vast conspiracy in here somewhere! This is the internet, dammit!

It's funny that you went with the Eagles of Death Metal. Right after the Paris attacks I did see some people posting things trying to link satan, death metal, etc to what happened. They seemed unaware that the band's name was tongue firmly in cheek.
