This past week lasted a couple years, didn’t it? As I write it is still not quite a week since Trump was shot. Just amazing all that happened.
As for the shooter: we don’t know what happened because the authorities are hiding it. But what has emerged tells me that the shooter had knowledge of how to do this – that is, how to be a sniper. Did he learn it on his own? Was he trained by someone? I’m leaning towards “trained by someone”…that this was someone’s op. Do keep in mind that the Iranians have said they will take revenge on Trump for turning Soleimani into an Ikea kit. And there are plenty in the USA who would volunteer to help – people who have been told the endless lies about Trump and the USA.
If an Iranian op why don’t the Authorities just say so? Because in addition to exposing their own gross incompetence in the actual event, such a thing is an act of war – and it is American Left policy to foster the rise of Iranian power…and, no, they don’t really expect this to bring peace to the Middle East. They say they do but it is really reparations for the US role in removing Mosaddegh from power in 1953. No, I’m not kidding. They are that stupid. They feel all the problems of the Middle East stem from that action…and by reversing it via an overtly anti-American and powerful Iran, the stage and be reset. That and, of course, a lot of them receive Iranian money to betray the USA. If they found Iran responsible then we’d have to attack – that is, American Democrats who love the Mullahs and hate Trump would have to attack their beloved in defense of the man they hate. Ain’t happening! So, the cover up continues.
Pushing out Pudding Brain: I still say they won’t be able to do it but it is clear that the entire Democrat Establishment wants Joe out. Not because he’s going to lose the White House, but because he’s going to cost them big down ballot. They trouble is that they’re dealing with a Pride-filled man – who is also senile. And there is also no incentive for Biden to bow out. The minute he agrees to go, his power is gone…even if he were to try to engineer his chosen candidate to replace him, any promises made to him wouldn’t be worth anything…and Joe knows that: Democrat promises are only designed to get the victim to commit seppuku. Democrats never intend to keep a promise. As I’ve said from the start, only threats against the liberty of Hunter would do it…but, OTOH, the guy with a half century in Democrat politics also knows where a lot of bodies are buried. Jill and Hunter may have been told many interesting things that Democrats would prefer remain quiet.
As for me: I don’t care! Let them fight! I hope they keep going at each other all the way to the convention and beyond. And then still wind up stuck with Joe! Part of the reason Joe wants to stay is because he’s convinced he, and he alone, can beat Trump. He thinks what he did in 2020 was some sort of genius…not cheating in weird circumstances. Of course, the fly in the ointment is that he can barely string a coherent sentence together. Even if he was a genius in 2020…he ain’t in 2024. He’s a senile, old man. So, fight it out Democrats – and then send Joe out to malfunction increasingly to election day.
Blogs For Victory 
I am very aware of the problem of wildly conflicting accounts of events starting to surface in the days following the events, and am also very aware of the tactic of purposely fielding “false flag” stories to attempt to hide the truth behind a barrage of often-ridiculous but sometimes feasible versions of the facts.
I became fascinated by the Kennedy assassination, and as a result had a library of about 30 books on that event, in addition to watching a 12-hour BBC video that was far more detailed than anything done in this country. So I have seen how a single event can spawn wildly diverse scenarios of “what really happened” and wildly contradictory analysis of hard facts like the different analyses of the audio of the gunshots fired on November 22.
Then there were the conspiracy theories about 9/11. Now, I’m not a skilled political operative. I am merely a retired ranch lady in a flyover state. But even I know that the best way to cover up a damaging story is not to deny it but to bury it in a flood of competing versions of the story, all designed to appeal to different personalities and even pathologies, till the core truth is hard to unearth and sort out from the surrounding noise.
Having said all that, there is a lot to process and think about in this detailed analysis of the Trump assassination effort. For what it’s worth, I think it’s worth reading, even if it does tempt you to take a break to make a tinfoil hat.
The one variable they didn’t factor in was Divine Intervention.
Which, of course, is denied by the Left.
It is a mountain of BS and a mountain of what hasn’t been said – and, so, the mind is free to wander which is also a means of creating confusion and hiding what happened.
I’m sure it was an op because the shooter was just too good – lunatics don’t plan quite that well: they just want to get in close enough to do the deed. This kid clearly thought about it. He obtained intel before the operation. He planned for alternate courses of events. I think a lot of people fixate on him being 20 – but it was well trained 20 year olds who took Iwo Jima. Assuming average mental and physical capability, it is then just a matter of training. That’s how you turn a mid-west farm boy into a man who will jump out of a plane behind enemy lines and slit throats.
Did he train himself? It is possible. There is vast information available at just a mouse-click these days. But most 20 year olds would not know where to begin. Someone guided this. Someone intended this to happen from some time significantly prior to the event. Still possible he acted alone, but to me that makes the least amount of sense. There had to be a support network…others guiding and directing.
But most 20 year olds would not know where to begin. I don’t agree. These days most ten year olds would know how to search for information on anything.
I can see the possibility of him being targeted by people using him. It wouldn’t take a huge intelligence operation to scout out known losers in a small town like Butler, and approaching someone with a toxic mixture of resentment and low self esteem would not be hard.
So…start with that. Another patsy, another human sacrifice, knowing that any Secret Service agent, no matter how inept, could and would kill him, is within the realm of possibility. If he gets a shot or shots off, great. If he kills Trump, even better. If he is killed, that’s perfect. The Left is all about distraction. He didn’t have the bomb or detonator with him—it could have been planted, or at the very least supplied by someone manipulating him. It would be so easy to frame someone like that.
Pump him up, tell him he’ll be famous, a hero, the savior of democracy, and send him out first as the canary in the coal mine to test the security by being obviously a potential threat. Then put him on a roof where he is guaranteed to be seen and killed, with the real shooter in a safer spot nearby. Set the stage with a bomb and a detonator, maybe do some hacking to get him linked to some suspicious international sites, and let the hysterics take over.
I agree, the true agenda had to be the death of Trump. He is seen as the biggest threat. No doubt there are algorithms on the Left showing the chances of two or three different Republicans brought in at the last minute to replace him at the convention and showing all of them doing worse against Biden than Trump. It makes more sense to have a skilled shooter doing the actual killing, with a decoy, easily targeted and killed, to distract from the real killer.
There is a video in my link that, unfortunately, has been corrupted by the owner who has annotated it with homemade captions and is so disjointed and screwed up I couldn’t make sense of it. Hopefully the original was not altered, because it appeared to show indications of shots coming from a different location than Crooks’.
I don’t necessarily think the Secret Service was an active participant in this scheme. Maybe one or two supervisors in charge of assignments, or something like that, but as I have mentioned sometimes Occam’s Razor, like Spook’s comment about stupidity vs malice, leads us to look more at incompetence coupled, perhaps, with enough anti-Trump sentiment to nudge people into a less-than-enthusiastic commitment to the job. Passivity can be just as lethal as activity, in situations like this. And now we know we are talking about lack of training and experience, on top of that. “You want me to take a WHAT? And just how does that taking a bullet work, anyway?”
(Found myself kind of channeling Bob Newhart’s phone skits there…)
I think it’s entirely possible, maybe even probable, that Crooks was not the shooter, or at least not the ONLY shooter. I have a really good AR-15, custom-made with a Daniel Defense upper receiver and barrel, an EOtech red-dot holographic sight, and a match-grade trigger. I’d be surprised if the one Crooks was alleged to have was as good, certainly not better. I’ve only seen the far-away shots of his body on the roof with the rifle laying 10-15 feet away, (what’s up with that?) but it appears the rifle was equipped with some sort of red-dot sight, not a scope with magnification. Even from a distance they’re pretty easy to tell apart. An expert could make the shot all day long. With a good rest, I can shoot about a 4″ group at 150 yards with milspec 62 grain ammo, with 68 grain match grade ammo probably a little better, so I could likely hit someone in the ear (heh) if I was aiming between their eyes. If there was a 3 letter agency involved in this we won’t (1) ever see any ballistics; (2) ever see a close up photo of the rifle; (3) ever see an autopsy report on Crooks, including photos of his wound/s; (4) ever hear an audio file of the shots; (5) ever see crime scene photos of the roof top after Crooks was shot; (6) ever see any evidence to suggest that Crooks did not act alone. Just my humble opinion.
Now, all that said, because of who the target was, I suspect Trump will have someone loyal to him who will get to the bottom of this. If I were a betting man, I’d bet that this isn’t the last attempt on his life, and I would bet that he doesn’t rely on the Secret Service from this point on. I just hope, if we ever do find that this was a conspiracy that the people responsible are brought to justice, indicted, tried, found guilty, and publicly executed.
….if we ever do find that this was a conspiracy that the people responsible are brought to justice, indicted, tried, found guilty, and publicly executed…
All of them, including anyone who just slow-walked his or her job.
I can’t verify but I have heard reports in the last couple days that Crooks had three “encrypted overseas accounts”. I also wonder why we haven’t seen or heard about the extent of the wounds of Crooks, also there doesn’t appear to be any blood on that roof and I would think a shot to the head would leave a large splatter. For all we know, Crooks is now living overseas although not quite in the luxury he was promised … because he missed.
There was a photo, allegedly of Crooks, of what appeared to be a head lying in a large pool of blood. Once the heart stops beating, bleeding is limited to what might be called “oozing” so lack of a large bloodstream might not be unusual. Certainly a head shot from a high powered rifle would leave a distinctive wound, and photos of this should be available, along with a coroner’s report.
If you go with the “framed by co-conspirators” theory it would be simple to set up those overseas accounts as well as plant the bomb and detonator in his car. Not my theory, just one floating around.
Joe Biden in interview with Lester Holt this past week:
“There’s no place in politics for violence, none, zero.”
Yeah, Joe, tell that to your party, tell that to your fellow Democrats who have been screaming for violence against Trump for the better part of 9 years. You POS!
Have you noticed almost all the photos of Crooks look like he’s about 12, just like the media did with Travon Martin?
Democrats used violence all throughout 2020 via their militant wings of Antifa and BLM. And now more recently the Hamas protestors. Additionally, they just tried to assassinate their political opponent.
Just heard on MSNBC … “Kamala Harris is the most qualified Democrat to run for POTUS if Biden is replaced”. Think about that one for a moment.
“Kamala Harris is the most qualified Democrat to run for POTUS if Biden is replaced”
The funny/tragic thing is, it’s true.
Actually, it isn’t. Josh Shapiro is evidently somewhat competent, and sane. I can’t think, offhand, of anyone else—now that Sheila Jackson Lee is gone. /sarc.
The problem with Dems is their political ideology. It is so deeply flawed, so inherently defective, that even when it is promoted by someone less goofy than Harris it is still toxic, and still wrong for the country.
I noticed that. The picture of him looking over the edge of the roof is a little more sinister—but it calls up the question of where did that photo come from?
It might be because the guy was, evidently, pretty much a zero, without a lot of photos being taken. His parents probably have some, but aren’t likely to share.
There has never been any doubt in my mind that when the Left kept calling Trump “Hitler” they were trying to stir up that question of “would you have killed Hitler if you knew what he was going to do?”
So they set it up—first it was “Hitler” and then it was a litany of what they claimed Trump would do if elected. Every single thing they said led to the inevitable conclusion that someone had to kill Trump, to “save democracy” and from there it was just a matter of waiting for the right mentally disturbed person to come along. (Or be found, and maybe encouraged a little.)
When no one seemed to be picking up on the cues, Joe had to go to the next level and demand that they “put a target on Trump”.
Also on MSNBC this morning, they are now admonishing Trump for, in their opinion, playing the victim card. You know, after they shot him and tried to kill him.
While MSNBC is excoriating Trump for cultural appropriation—that is, playing the victim card—Alvin Bragg is filing two new charges against Trump: Avoidance of a Targeted Projectile and Obstruction of an Assassination Attempt. They are both only misdemeanors, but because the projectile might be the same one that killed a bystander he will try to elevate it to a felony.
So brilliant, so true
Well, Biden’s out.
So now the complications set in, ranging from different election rules in different states to what to do about Kamala. By remaining in office, Biden dodged a bullet (now that that’s a thing) by keeping Harris out of the Oval Office and making her the incumbent in 2024, but there are some rules that don’t allow him to just step down unless he is incapacitated or “mentally unfit”.
