If his suicide watch is anything like Epstein's, they're not watching to prevent a suicide
Hah! This guy is going to walk on some technicality because the DoJ is so profoundly, virtuosically incompetent.
Unless that's the goal, getting their false flag operative off scot free.
Valid.
picking a shotgun for an assassination is about as effective as bringing a super soaker. what a joke.
Shorgun with buckshot
Yesterday I went to the Fox news website to see their version of top news. It was this story, that a judge would apologize to someone who tried to shoot our "dear" leader.
Disinformation bubbles (Fox, OAN, Rogan, etc) and lack of critical thinking/media literacy is what got us here. Trump just pressed the accelerator but is not the driver
Unironically Rogan is actually on my "I hope they die" list. Motherfucker platforms so many conspiracy pissants which grants them so much false credibility. Hope his conspiracy nonsense has rotted the safety side of his brain and he tossed out his C02 detectors.
I hope Rogan one day earns a Herman Cain Award, or some similar Darwin Award subspecies
So, I tried to post it earlier, but couldn't figure out how to get the video out from behind the paywall.
Basically, WaPo got high resolution versions of the security cam footage.
... I don't think this dude fired a single shot.
I think that the Secret Service guy who was shot, was shot by another security guard.
Basically:
O[]------------>
X
Where the arrow is the dude running through the metal detector, O is SS dude who was shot, X is other guard.
As the dude is running between the two, X fires off at least 3 shots, tracking running dude.
O appears to become injured very soon after X fires one of those shots, where that shot is fired while X is basically pointing at O.
But you never see a muzzle flash from the shotgun.
You do see them from X's pistol though.
Also, in the audio of the event, everything I've seen and heard... all the shots sound similar.
And these shots all would have occured in the same space, the same hallway.
A shotgun blast does not sound like a pistol shot, its... significantly louder, has a different kind of waveform.
What is even more insane is that apparently the assailant was never even hit.
... So the only actual injury in all of this was friendly fire.
Like yeah its still insane to sprint through that with a shotgun... but nobody even hit the dude?
Fucking clownshow security.
Also, it would be immensely simple to figure out what actually shot the SS dude O.
His bulletproof vest caught the shot, preventing him from being more seriously injured.
So... if it caught a bunch of buckshot... it was the shotgun.
If it caught a 9mm... it was friendly fire.
Word is that they found a shotgun pellet in the guys vest, indicating the shotgun was fired.
HOWEVER...
The credibility of literally EVERYBODY in this administration is non-existent, so I don't believe a single word they say about ANYTHING. Whatever evidence they claim to have means nothing to me. It is compromised simply by being in their possession. If I were a juror, I would have doubt from the outset, and would never vote to convict him (or Luigi), based on the complete lack of credibility of the plaintiff bringing the case.
Yeah it was really obviously friendly fire, dunno if he shot after that recording or not though
Don't worry, I'm sure we will find out the truth with Kash 'Bug-eyes' Patel on the job.
Dude looks like a terrified Gowron.
Except that he will never know glory, nor honor.
The security setup looks like the scene from the film, Ronin, where De Niro's character outs Sean Bean's character as a idiot who doesn't know what he's doing.
To be fair nobody called bean has portrayed a character that knows what he’s doing.
I would not at all put it past this admin to have some guys that saw that movie, and just said 'lets do that'.
The... the guy here, the assailaint... like we're all at the point now that we can admit MKUltra is real and still happening (under some other name) and the FBI essentially catfishes/gaslights/entraps people into carrying out violent attacks, has been doing that for decades, right?
This scenario is both very stupid and also very fishy.
I would not at all put it past this admin to have some guys that saw that movie, and just said 'lets do that'.
Some guy? You mean Trump? His entire worldview seems to come from movies and TV. Just the other day he was claiming that 86 is a mob term meaning "Kill him," then he realized he was saying that he knew mob guys, and he quickly pivoted to "...in the MOVIES, they say that."
What a fucking putz, this fucking guy.
I will say, mixing different conspiracies into a melting pot of nonsense doesn't help.
MKUltra was real, it was run by Sidney Gottlieb, who was insane and sadistic. Most of it seems to have been just do shit for kicks and giggles. It was seriously fucked up and there was almost zero oversight. The stated goals were never reached, because the stated goals ignored reality. A lot of lives were destroyed, mostly because the agents involved thought it would be funny. Most of the "work" was shredded to avoid accountability.
FBI entrapment is real, but is different again, it's also extremely fucked up with little oversight. The stated goals are ignored in favor of press releases and ruining people's lives. Racism plays a big role.
The Correspondents Dinner was just blatant incompetence. It might have been a setup, but I think the actual setup was just Trump showing up with shit security and planning on leaving the second any incident happened, with the "I need a ballroom" bullshit ready to go.
The major through line here are incompetent monsters who believe themselves above the law and untouchable. There's little coordination to any of it, because the actual goals are always selfish and sadistic.
The best part is that it proved he doesn't need the ballroom bullshit.
His security worked. Dude didn't even make it to the same floor.
The Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski, was an MKUltra subject, and the experience is what touched off his lifelong "mission."
He was part of the program, but he was also completely cut loose.
Again I should say, MKUltra was based on nonsense paired with a reckless disregard for consequences. They didn't care how many people they hurt because hurting people was the goal. Gottlieb shredded most of the records the second accountability came calling, because it was all nonsense.
It's just like the Nazi medical experiments. One of the more infamous Nazi experiments was injecting dye into the eyes of twins to see of the other twin's eyes would change color. MKUltra was basically that level of scientific rigor, except with more LSD.
That's what made the program so dangerous, not some bullshit mind control, the reckless disregard and protection from consequences for the monsters doing the twisted and pointless experiments.
How does shit like that get greenlighted? That nonsense would have sounded just as monstrous back then as it does today.
So your position is... MKUltra, or its descendants / lessons learned from it... is not still going on, not deployed or used by anyone, in any way?
I mean, neither of us can 'prove' this either way.
But I can point to a whole lot of funny business that's gone on over the years, with a whole lot of people, and say 'hey maybe its not unreasonable to consider that that person was brainwashed in some way'.
We know there are currently things like discord servers that intentionally groom young boys into becoming actual school shooters and shit like that.
You aware of the guy at the Kirk shooting who falsely claimed he was the shooter, tried to goad security/police into shooting him, and then when being questioned, literally said that he did that so the actual shooter could escape?
Howabout the guy that was close enough to Area 51 that he was picking up actual classified transmissions on his radio, and the government gaslit him into thinking he was getting signals from aliens... to such an extent that he basically developed paranoid schizophrenia and then ended himself?
The lessons learned from MKUltra were, it doesn't fucking work.
The ever shifting goals were nebulous at best, and often just monstrous in practice, but at no time did anything ever get accomplished.
It started as an excuse to play with LSD. For something like 10 years, the entire world's supply of LSD was funneled to the CIA and specifically wherever Sidney Gottlieb wanted it. Often this was into his own body, and the bodies of unsuspecting CIA agents who "agreed" to be secretly dosed at random via their employment contracts.
Originally they thought that LSD could be a truth serum, but that's bullshit, then they thought that they could "reprogram" people into secret agents (this plan actually came about after the Manchurian Candidate came out.) That part of things got pretty horrific, they found that through the use of torture and drugs, they could completely break a person. Putting them back together proved impossible.
Eventually MKUltra turned into dosing random people in the street or in brothels, seemingly so that one particular creep could watch.
They learned that "guys are more talkative after sex when on drugs".
It was all fucking nonsense. That's how these people work, they have some harebrained idea and then throw spaghetti at the wall, trying to make it work out. When it doesn't, they wander off assuming that someone else will clean up the mess.
All of that is separate from modern social media control programs, which work via scale. But we've known that propaganda works at scale since the beginning of history. Like everything else wrong with the modern world, it's more targeted and tracked now.
You have massive state run influence machines trying to push different narratives, and it's all just noise. But yes, there are also some dangerous elements. The whole incel culture full of people both pushing dangerous versions of right-wing ideology and preying on the insecurities of young men. I can certainly say that there are people, both employed by governments and not, who make it their lives work to infiltrate various online communities to push different talking points.
But worse is Joel Fucking Kaplan.
I’m honestly reasonably confident that this whole show is (yet another) setup/false-flag, and the dude is just a patsy.
Hence the suicide watch...practice ice makes perfect
Epstein was on suicide watch. Look at how that turned out.
So this guy is getting body swapped and shipped to Tel Aviv for debriefing?
It's easy for the FBI or CIA to incite a mentally disturbed person into action. They do it all the time
My theory is they knew he was there and what he was going to do but let it happen
Mine too.
Look how far it pushed GOP policy to ignore mountains of intel and let 9-11 happen. It got unilateral cooperation for a forever-war and the Patriot Act at the very least.
It's likely the cause for Pearl Harbor too. They wanted something to drum up public support to enter the war.
