Real People Die When the Media Lies
"They're not coming after me, they're coming after you." -Donald Trump
Everything on an electronic screen is at best a half-truth and more frequently an outright lie. Jacques Ellul, Marshall McLuhan, and more recently James Corbett have all made this point in different ways. If you are reading this it is a virtual certainty that somewhere along your intellectual journey you realized that you were being lied to by mass media about a particular event. For me and many others it was 9/11, but for you it could be the Kennedy Assassination, the Covid-19 Scamdemic, or many other events. This then naturally led you down the proverbial rabbit hole. Life in the rabbit hole comes with the realization that it is much more difficult to spot the truth than to spot the lie. This is true whether the source be social media, legacy media, or even our so-called “educational” system.
The intellectual defense to the realization we are being lied to incessantly is to become jaded and cynical, or “black-pilled.” We see everything as a lie, scam, or hoax. Because this lens is drastically more accurate than normie-goggles it is easy to view every media event through that lens. Is the black-pilled view of the Trump Assassination accurate? Did Trump stage the whole thing with blood packets and special effects?
The quick transition from bloody mess to giant bandage to nary a scratch is certainly suspicious. It is just as easily explained by a ridiculous act of Trump showmanship to wear the giant bandage for a tiny flesh wound as jumping straight to “the whole thing was fake,” however. I will lay out the reasons that I believe not only was there a real assassination attempt on Trump, but that it involved more shooters than Matthew Crooks (if he was even involved at all). First, let’s look at it from a propaganda perspective.
The media takedown of “Joe Biden” and softening of the usual vitriol towards Trump best exemplified by the oddly timed “Presidential Debate” and the reaction that followed. I don’t mean that the media en masse knew the assassination attempt was coming but the narrative setters pulling their strings certainly did.
“Joe Biden” calling for Trump to be “put in the bullseye” right before the assassination attempt. I don’t mean that “Joe Biden” is behind the assassination attempt (or much of anything), but that the Trump assassination was supposed to take out both Biden and Trump.
The timing of the assassination attempt: right before Trump announced his vice-presidential candidate. If the assassination had been successful, would “They” have tried to run Nikki Haley vs Kamala? Remember all the bogus stories about Nikki Haley being in the running for VP? I tend to think if the assassination attempt had succeeded all of a sudden we would have been getting the “not only did she have the second most delegates but Trump was going to choose her for VP” narrative fed to us. By the way, Nikki Haley being a horrifically unlikeable corrupt warmonger does not mean that everything is great with the political creation now named JD Vance, but that is a story for another time.
The lack of media hype on the day of the assassination. Personally I heard about the assassination attempt almost an hour after it happened and it was via text message from a friend. I get a push-alert every time there’s a custody dispute and somebody takes off with their own kid but nothing for the Trump assassination attempt? I was driving so I scanned through all the radio stations expecting to hear non-stop coverage. Instead I heard nothing but crickets and regularly scheduled programming. When I got home I turned on the TV and went through the network stations, still nothing.
CNN running the headline "Secret Service Rushes Trump Off Stage After He Falls at Rally” and “Joe Biden” himself wouldn’t at first admit that there had been an assassination attempt on Trump. The initial narrative downplaying the event is the opposite of most “big” events.
While the attempts to downplay the event as nothing but some loud noises and clumsy Trump falling down didn’t last long, the lone shooter narrative started early and is still going strong. As with most major crises, government allows media criticism of its “ineptitude” but you must never, ever consider that anyone from the government was actually involved in the plot.
When we look at the physical evidence and eyewitness testimony both the official “lone-nut” and the “it was all a hoax” narratives fall apart completely.
To my knowledge, none of the thousands of witnesses deny that there were real gunshots (complete with real bullets). There was lots of blood and it did not just come from Trump’s ear.
Multiple witnesses report multiple shooters and analysis of the audio also indicates multiple shooters. Obviously gunshots can be easily faked via blanks, but how would one fake the sound of the bullets going past Trump’s microphone, or the apparent bullet hitting the railing?
There is video evidence of someone shooting from inside the building while Matthew Crooks was supposedly shooting from the roof. See the Chris Martenson analysis if you are not already familiar. There is also analysis of the trajectory of the first few shots that lines up better with a shooter being closer to the ground rather than on the roof.
For what it’s worth, my personal take is there were multiple shooters and the person who has been identified as Matthew Crooks may or may not have been one of them. All the information available on him screams “patsy” rather than assassin. He was supposed to be seen and identified as the shooter. The likeliest source of the intended kill shot (first bullet) was the window of the building underneath the patsy on the roof. I get the argument that “if the Deep State wanted Trump to be dead, he’d be dead.” But, in order for the narrative to work the Deep State Assassin would have been using a weapon similar enough to the AR-15 and from a similar enough angle that they could plausibly claim all bullets came from the same lone shooter. How did he miss? I still will chalk that up to divine intervention.
While I believe Trump is blackmailed and whether willingly or unwillingly a mostly malleable puppet of the Deep State I don’t see the motive for him to stage his own assassination attempt. If the votes are counted anywhere close to accurately he will “win the election.” He clearly had far more actual support than “Joe Biden” in 2020. Voters don’t decide elections, vote counters do. While Trump is clearly not the rogue element his supporters claim him to be, I don’t have any trouble believing his head exploding on live television would have been greeted with glee by the powers that shouldn’t be.
“Joe Biden” was discarded because the “Biden beats Trump from his basement” script was not especially believable the first time and would truly be ridiculed in 2024. Is the “vote for Kamala or you’re a racist” script believable enough to select her in 2024? I don’t believe so but the fake polls and media drones are certainly pushing that narrative now. The narrative doesn’t have to be believed by Trump supporters or “conspiracy theorists,” it just has to be plausible enough that the media and political class bubble believe it enough to push it.
Would Trump supporters be more likely to commit acts of violence because of another blatantly stolen election or because of the despair of watching Trump betray them over and over again in an even worse fashion than his first term? If you can figure out the answer to that question then you already know how the selection circus will end.
