“I really believe the Trump ‘shooting’ was a put up job. Ears bleed quickly and dramatically however they are cut.”
Reminds me of the plot of Agatha Christie’s crime novel “A Murder Is Announced”. The murderer stages an assassination attempt on herself by cutting her earlobe with nail scissors and everyone thinks she was grazed in the ear by a gun bullet.

Hogy unlikely. The bullet that grazed his ear instantly killed the woman standing behind him. Dr. in the stands said her brain matter spattered.
If Trump had not turned his head at that exact instant, he’d be dead.
And extremely unlikely he play along with the risk of an ear graze.

@Apollyon #3
imho this is 100% a Mossad-Hollywood production:
False Flag checklist
Dead shooter: check
Unharmed and victorious fist pumping alleged target: check
Alleged dead/injured other invisible victims: check
Narrative presented immediately to public along with Iwo Jima photo: check.
1. When Trump is cowering behind the podium you can see the crowd behind him. While a couple of people bend down, most keep standing and there is NO huddle of people around the unnamed dead person we have been told allegedly exists who was hit by the bullet and died.
There is NO injured or dead person in the crowd behind Trump.
Just because media tells you there is a dead person and even if they later produce an AI photo of alleged dead person and tearful friends of poor “victim” who took “bullet” intended for Trump… there’s no way for any of us to know if its true or false.
2. Many people and photographers near Trump keep calmly photographing.
3. On the roof we are shown a glimpse of a person lying down and told this is a dead human. It could also be a live human but we wouldn’t know.
4. All the video and photographs in the public domain have the hallmark of a carefully constructed narrative:
the snipers allegedly spotting the shooter and firing, the glimpse of the “dead shooter”, the Iwojima photo etc.
I don’t doubt that there are many who want Trump dead but but the ONLY thing that counts in the United States of Zion is what Zionists want.
Do Zionists want Trump dead?
And Zionists want Trump to win the election because despite Genocide Joe bending over forwards and backwards for the terrorist entity, aka Israel,
somehow Satanyahoo has decided the Trump-Kushner team will be more useful.
It doesn’t mean that Trump knew beforehand. It doesn’t mean the Demonrats are not trying desperately to steal another election.
But a US election is just same shit, different fan.
The biggest giveaway is the protective squad allowing the Trumpster to show his face, pump his fist, not once but at least 2-3 times before getting in the car.
I’m sorry but apart from conspiracy theories, I just rolled my eyes when I saw the video.
It looked so silly and fake as fuck. He doesn’t have any blood when he goes down (on his fingers). Then stands up with a packet of ketchup smeared on his ear, a few streaks on the front of his face and reddish rouge on right cheek. Whatever that stuff is, blood it is not.

That’s because the bullett came from the left, and if a person was hit, the person would be out of the frame on the right. The strange thing is, several shots were fired, but only one person was hit, although the ranks were filled with people. You would expect more people to be hit by a bullett.

On the subject of Trump assassination attempt, you don’t have to be a pacifist to condemn this kind of extreme political violence that we see in US elections over and over again. It is just common sense that this should not happen. But it seems to me the US was born on the back of violence and is practicing it externally and internally.

Posted by: Norwegian | Jul 14 2024 15:15 utc | 32

Attempt at Trump could be real. If there’s more tries afterwards then it’s Democrats, if there’s none then it’s 3rd Party. Surviving assassination attempt is powerful visual.
If these causes US citizens to solidify rallying behind Trump then Zionists win. If these succeeded and political opposition is terrorized, assassinations became less taboo of tools then Zionists win.
Either way i do not see chances there’s anything different on the outcomes regardless who’s became POTUS. Their policy had locked in.

The other open thread has swollen past 480 posts, largely from barflies preaching that you’re a fool to believe anything you hear from anyone, ever. (Just go with your hunches is the epistemological strategy, I suppose.) Meanwhile, my bet is the identity of the shooter will be largely irrelevant to ongoing events. Here’s the name to watch: Kimberly Cheatle, director of US Secret Service, as this writing.

So you were in the crowd behind him, because only they could see it happening, his head was turned.
Also one of the agents was a diversity hire short woman, who could protect only his belly. Are these people retarded or was it by design, simply more chances to have his face exploded if first shot missed?

Definitely right, Pax. The first set of comments on this thread reflect the redirection/cover-up operation we’ll see from US intelligence, via their MSM proxies, in the coming weeks.
He got shot. Who shot Trump? Is this Robert Fico part 2? Have we reached the final phase of the breakdown of US imperialism? They clearly are desperate. Losing Ukraine. Their corpse candidate cannot possibly win. They are quickly realizing their control of reality has slipped and there is a plan now to just kill off all opposition.
Don’t believe? Ask yourself, how is that Biden has never been shot? He’s deeply loathed supposedly by gun nut Nazi country boys for four long years now. Things like this don’t happen to politicians in the US unless intelligence wants it to. They wanted it to happen and either let it or made it happen. And it was not to support Trump by just grazing him, it was to kill him.

Posted by: Ahenobarbus | Jul 14 2024 15:37 utc | 46

Berletic does a nice job reviewing the security lapses, one thing I’ll add is that immediately after Trump ducks, the SS raises him up at the podium centering him right back in the bullseye. Maybe they got notice in their Matrix earpieces that the shooter was down, but you have to assume there’s a second shooter. I don’t rule out mass incompetence, it’s the zeitgeist of everything under neoliberalism, everything is dysfunctional, why shouldn’t presidential security be dysfunctional.

Yes indeed. The assassination attempt was obviously real. Whether other people were involved remains to be seen but it seems more likely that this kid acted alone. American society has always been violent. This is the way that craziness manifests itself in this particular historical moment.
I will say this however, it does seem to me that we are at an inflection point. Maybe it has something to do with our brains being wrecked by the electronic hallucination we live in. Undoubtedly, the COVID period did significant damage to our level of trust, both between individuals and with our institutions. While not acknowledged by most Americans, there is a creeping sense that our run as the world’s decision maker, our exceptionalism if you will, is over. That means the so-called American “way of life “ is not going to be on the menu much longer. The glue that once held the experiment together, which allowed for a common culture, however imperfect, has dried up and is giving out.
Pile this on top of the aforementioned propensity for violence and you get a sort of mass insanity peppered with outbursts of senseless rage. This is what America will look like until we decide we’re not an empire anymore, but instead a large and powerful country that needs to put away childish things and behave reasonably. If we don’t do that, it will be imposed on us from outside.

Going on the available evidence, Trump’s extremely lucky to be alive.
Not only do the sponsors of this assassination attempt still have all the same problems with Trump that motivated them to attack in the first place, they now have Trump’s personal enmity on the highest level imaginable.
With Trump gone, his power base would have been in disarray, it would have been far easier to paper over any cracks in the official story, like suspiciously lax security, with Trump alive and well things could get interesting.

Get a load of the dembots in this thread trying to seed the FUD that the assassination attempt didn’t happen!
I do understand it, though. Many among the faux left are deeply vested in the notion that they are morally superior and the MAGA people are, like eastern Ukrainians are to the western ones, orcs; subhumans who must be controlled. The reality that the dembot ”team” are actually the violently irrational ones must be dismissed and replaced with some more comforting fiction.
Unfortunately, dembot Trump Derangement Syndrome victims, you are no different from the crazed shooter. Face up to the fact that you are the monsters. You are ”the baddies”. Don’t try to deny it because your rationalizations are all over social media and corporate mass media.
I wish this reflection of who you really are could shock you to your senses, but you are already lost in self-delusion. You can easily manage another layer of delusion to shield from the truth of your true identity.

No doubt full true blue city rally protocol was not followed, but the reality is that this was unusual. First, this is a very small town: less than 14000 population.

The fact that we have an aging two bit self promoter pitted against a senile old man with haters on both sides willing and ready to do violence shows the pathetic state of national politics in the country. Totally dysfunctional. Not surprised at the assassination attempt. Odd that the shooter could gain position to attempt it. Trump praised the Secret Service fwiw. This country is so f*cked.

Sorry, everything you said is wrong.
The crowd reacts immediately, 1 or 2 faster than Trump.
The camera angle doesn’t pick up show Trumps hand when he ducks down. When he reappears, SS has been covering him and presumably checking his status, including wound clean up, to determine of they can move him.
There is no dead woman, the other two victims have been identified as male.
There is cell phone footage of them carrying the dead man down from the stands, and a wounded man holding his right side. They were seated on the side of Trumps left shoulder. The shot line would never impact someone immediately behind Trump in the close in camera angle.
Real life is real life, movies are “fake as fuck”.
So many of our misconceptions come from movies. Hero’s get shot 5 times and carry on, cheap villains fold immediately, super villains need to get hit 12 times.
One bullet impact launches people 8 feet backwards crashing through windows.
6 shooters can be used 10 times w/o reloading.
15 rd pistols can shoot 20+ times w/o reloading.
5 Bad guys can’t hit 1 good guy running around at 30 feet from them.
1 good guy (or now woman) can take out 5 bad guys with 4 shots, etc.

Since they failed to Fico Trump, just as they failed to Fico Fico, they automatically fired up Trump’s base and further weakened Bidet (who refuses to step aside). Obvious solution: bump off Bidet on live camera, and arrange for a Russian passport and/or maga cap to be found at the scene.

But they aren’t his only detractors. Biden is widely hated. If it were this easy to take 7 shots at Biden, it would have happened. But that’s the trick, it ain’t that easy. Now, a single young man, with no military or even hunting experience carries that out, nearly hitting the target in the head. Seems funny, huh? Again, assassination attempts like this don’t happen unless intelligence wants it to. Oh, and guess who’s in charge of the investigation: the FBI, the very center of anti trump agitation since 2016.

Unfortunately, the way the guy goes about it that can’t really be done, because he’s examining all the forensic evidence available in detail (and somewhat repetitively), and adding in information about SS protocols and the background of the Governor of Pa… TL;DW: He puts it on Josh Shapiro, D governor of Pa and the state police apparatus.
He’s very careful to build his case, so it takes forever, but it looks very tight, and indicates where the next place to look for evidence is: the Staties’ comm chatter. If that gets buried, Shapiro is playing LBJ.

Corey Comperatore, the former fire chief for Buffalo Township, died protecting his daughter from bullets at the rally. (…)
The victim’s brother posted to Facebook on Sunday morning, grieving the loss of his “baby brother.”
“The hatred for one man took the life of the one man we loved the most,” he wrote in the post.
“He was a hero who shielded his daughters. His wife and girls just lived through the unthinkable and unimaginable. (…)

So you assume because his ear was hit that that is where the shooter was aiming?
What about the alleged hole in his jacket?
In my limited knowledge, shooters are taught to aim for the body as it is easier to hit.
Posted by: genuinely curious | Jul 14 2024 16:40 utc | 87
Cops aim for the center of mass because it’s big. An assassin will go for the head because there’s a good chance the target is wearing body armor and there are usually obstacles in the way of the center of mass. Also, people shot in the body often survive. In either case, it was a windy day, and therefore a difficult shot regardless of aim point.
The wind guarantees that this was not a set up by the Trump team. There is no way that even the best sniper could be assured of a grazing shot.
