Petra says “I hope Omar doesn’t mind me republishing his post which entertainingly points out a few key features of this event and makes interesting connections.”

Don’t you worry, I’ll make it quick so that you don’t have to read through pages and pages of analysis. As usual, this is just my opinion, based on the available evidence, the vast majority of it, bullshit and misdirects.
So let’s start with the standard disclaimer which is that of course there is no way that I (or anyone else) could definitively prove that this event is a staged or partially staged hoax. What I will do instead is just examine the possibility that the entire thing could have been faked.
If it was faked, then how would they fake it? Well, they’d start by convincing you that there were “real bullets” flying through the air in Butler, PA, and they’d use methods such as publishing this ridiculously improbable photo.

This photo is meant to have captured a “whizzing bullet” flying by Trump’s head. We are meant to believe that this is either the bullet that “grazed his ear” or another bullet. Nevermind the odds of a bullet grazing his ear, but let’s all at least admit it is a one in a trillion type of possibility. MAGA-tards will tell you it was “divine intervention” or that he had an “angel on his shoulder” and some such narrative like that. You are free to believe that sort of thing, if it makes you feel good.
Now I won’t go into some long analysis about whether or not it was possible to even capture this “whizzing bullet” with the camera that was used (a Nikon Z9). You can research that for yourself if you are so inclined or care that much. Let’s just agree that it’s possible, regardless of how likely or unlikely. Let’s also acknowledge that the cameraman was shooting non-stop, so this isn’t out of the question, nor is it a “stroke of luck” as this would just be one of a hundred frames he captured. But if this was a hoax, then this portion of it would be tasked to a photographer-agent type of person.

Enter Doug Mills – (born 1960) – an American photographer who has covered the White House since 1983.[1] He began working for The New York Times in 2002, having previously been the chief photographer for The Associated Press in Washington, in which capacity he won two Pulitzer prizes for team coverage. As of February 2019 he is a board member of the White House Correspondents’ Association.
Doug also just happened to be Johnny on the Spot on the morning of 9/11 when he captured yet another “iconic photo” of George W. Bush “receiving the news” about the second fake airplane (Flight 175) hitting the south tower.

So, we have a 9/11 connection which is common in modern day PsyOps.
Doug was also there when Clinton brokered the Mid-East “peace” deal, another “iconic photo” for his resume:

Of course it’s not completely out of the question, since Doug worked for the White House and would be present for many Presidents’ events. The problem is, at some point you have to consider these “one in a million” things all together, not just individually. In any case, we now have the realism of a bullet, or multiple bullets, thanks to Doug – who probably works for intelligence and his photo could easily be photoshopped by advanced software available to only the military and intelligence agencies. So there’s no way we can prove that it’s photoshopped, and there’s no way we can prove that it’s real, either. Unfortunately, that’s just how these things go…
Next we also have the “spray” from the hydraulics of the crane which has a very “Hollywood” or “Universal Studios” feel to it. You can view a screenshot of it below and you can view the video of it here.
So if this was faked, this little bit would also help to create the illusion of real bullets flying everywhere.

Then we get all of the standard fingerprints that we have seen over and over again in previous PsyOps and Hoaxes. The scrawny lone gunman Adam Lanza-type character with whatever political leanings or mental health issues, to create those narratives. The “lapses in security” storylines. The “inside job” or “they stood down” conspiracy angles.
The “Deep State” narratives.
All of these cartoon storylines are repeated over and over again from Sandy Hoax to Boston Bombing to 9/11 to JFK, etc.
You will always get the Second Gunman on the Grassy Knoll, the Wuhan Lab Leak, the Woman with the Polka Dot Dress or the FBI agent that was seen running into the woods. But if this is a hoax, all of that is bullshit conspiracy candy and misdirection – and since it’s everywhere around this event, it signals that we should look closer for the Hoax angle.
Then of course we have all the “eyewitnesses” who heard this or saw that and their stories end up overlapping in some areas and conflicting in others. This is done deliberately to create mass confusion and chaos, and they certainly could have planted misdirects at the Live event as well (like firecracker type devices in certain areas, as a hypothetical example).
When I say “Live Event” – I mean that if this was faked, it would have been a live performance or “street theater” type of event – where the vast, vast majority of people that are in attendance are innocent, bystanding civilians, attending a Trump rally, and a magic trick is performed right in front of them. So it’s real you see, because they all saw it with their own eyes and to suggest otherwise would be completely insane and “how dare you?”
You know, like how thousands of people saw David Copperfield make the Statue of Liberty disappear in 1983. “I was there, I saw it with my own eyes…”
Well, that magic trick can be explained, but what if it couldn’t? What if you didn’t have an explanation for it? Would you then conclude that he really made the Statue of Liberty disappear? Of course not.
In any case, a hoax would also mean that Trump either used fake blood (unlikely), or was “bladed” by his secret service guys when he went down to the ground (likely) which he learned from Viince McMahon. Trump is, of course, a master of Kayfabe.
Putting the multiple snipers in plain view of everyone at the event (including the cameras) is also perfect for a Hoax angle because then they can spin all of the narratives about why they didn’t shoot early, they were told to stand down, and so on… further cementing the idea that there were real shots fired, while keeping you focused on the wrong things.
As far as the audio goes, real shots or military “blanks” may have been fired or even pre-recorded (from the correct distance) and played on the loudspeakers. Do you think any of those MAGA-tards would know the difference in the middle of all of that chaos and confusion?
Now the main problem with the Hoax angle is the alleged “dead bodies” (and injured ones), including the shooter – which is the most difficult thing to account for, since there are multiple videos of the dead/injured. But, as usual you only get a glance because, well – there’s too many people in the way.
With an unlimited black ops budget, it wouldn’t be too difficult to put a couple of folks in the corners of those bleachers, surround them with a dozen or so agents who would then quickly surround them and cover them up a few minutes later, after squibs and fake blood / gore / injuries were deployed and while everyone was focused on Trump and/or taking cover.
Nobody would be looking in that direction for at least a minute or so, and by then it would be difficult to see anything in detail on the floors of those bleachers, with all of those possible “agent” bystanders crowding around the few injured people, some of them attending to their “wounds” – which is why we can’t make out much in the videos other than a few moments of mostly obscured glimpses.
Cover their faces with towels and cart them off quickly. Give them some new identities as part of a witness protection type of program, a big pile of cash and they can ride off into the sunset with a new life, somewhere in paradise. Remember that after only 48 hours, the main victim’s GoFundMe had already reached over a million dollars and that doesn’t include the government / military / intelligence money that one would receive in this hypothetical scenario. Is the suggestion really that far-fetched?
I know, I know – “how dare you?”
Next you will ask – well what about the shooter? I dunno, maybe they put a real bullet in his head as the one sacrifice for the event, as part of whatever sick and twisted cult ritual these psychopaths engage in. That would also certainly help make the entire thing feel more real, and provide real bullets and the sounds of those bullets as well. But does it even matter?
I’d argue that most of these details really don’t matter. All the minutiae, all the conspiracy candy will be researched for years to come and I promise you, it won’t go anywhere and they’ll have you running in circles for decades, just like JFK. But nobody shot JFK either, so why should any of this be different? Why fix what isn’t broken?
So I’m not going to waste anymore of your time analyzing eyewitness testimony, the shooter’s vantage point, angle of the bullets, the secret service’s actions, the sounds of this or that, the amateur footage, the suspicious characters in the stands, the “patsy” narrative, the things that “don’t add up,” etc. etc. You can go to your favorite Twitter Truthers for all of that nonsense.
Just keep in mind that in the hours, days and weeks to come, you will hear more and more of the standard, status-quo, mainstream conspiracy theories. This should signal to you that there might be something else going on underneath all of this noise and that ALL of these misdirects are meant to confuse, distract and overwhelm you.
I would further argue that it’s a total waste of time and you’re better off looking at the bigger picture and trusting your intuition around the whole thing. Does it “feel” real to you? Or does it “feel” fake? I won’t tell you what you should think, only you can decide that for yourselves.
What I will do is show you one piece of evidence, which I consider a bit of a smoking gun and the reason I decided to write this short paper.
First, watch this video, taken from a bystander at the event. At the 20 second mark in the video, you will hear a lady scream: “What the hell is THAAAT?”
When I first heard this, I immediately recalled an old 9/11 clip from an “amateur” video where a woman screams the exact same thing with the exact same tonal inflection.
I reached out to Simon Shack to see if he could help me track it down. The best he could do was point me to the timestamp in his September Clues film which contains a portion of this clip. In the film, Simon analyzes the voice in this clip and compares it to a woman’s voice in another 9/11 clip to determine if they are the same person. You can view that snippet here.
With that clue, I was able to remember that it was the now infamous and proven fraudulent “Tina Cart” video from 9/11 which you can review here.
Now, without going into a long diatribe about how awfully fake this video is, you should understand that it has long been thoroughly debunked 100 times over by multiple internet researchers and it has been proven to be a “clone” of other video clips that were used to create the fakery that day. In this instance, it was used by AP (and other media outlets) to help sell the fake 9/11 imagery.
Of course it includes the contrived “HOLY FUCK!” and cartoonish, over-acted “OH MY GAAAWWWD!” screams, accompanied by some fake “stomp stomp” sounds and nonsensical “waving of the arms,” in front of the camera, presumably to create some additional realism via “commotion” or something.
As I’m sure you’ll agree, it is an incredibly pathetic and obvious fake, and quite comical watching it back now, nearly 25 years later.
The good news is that I found what I was looking for and you can hear it at the 10 second mark of this stupid, fake 9/11 “amateur” video:
“What the hell is THAAAT?”
I already know that it’s not a smoking gun for you, and that’s okay.
It is for me.
I have cut the two audio clips and put them next to each other several times so you can compare. You can listen to them side-by-side, here.
They always call back to 9/11. They have been putting their 9/11 signatures on all of their PsyOps for nearly 25 years now.
They just can’t help themselves.

Magic tricks are not meant to be deconstructed easily by non-professionals or even other magicians.

I lived in Billings, Montana while Clinton was in office and visited. I worked in a five story building two blocks from the motorcade route. Some of us went up there to see if anything was shaking. Within minutes Secret Service agents were up there telling us to go back down and stay down. Point is that they watch all vantage points at all times, even those outside of the secured area. It is not an easy job.
Which reminds me … I knew something about security even in my naive state. I knew when a limo pulled up in front of a hotel or concert venue, and four moptops got out, that they were not the Beatles, just decoys. In Billings the Clinton motorcade route was up 27th Street, and Billings’ finest, some roly poly cops were running along with bellies bouncing like large boobs. Even then I suspected that as the presidential limo drove by that Clinton was not in it. He probably took another unmarked vehicle, or maybe even a helicopter.
My longwinded way of guessing that Secret Service knew about the supposed sniper’s location and were watching it and any other place with a vantage point on an exposed president. I’m not buying it. There is a photo of the dead sniper at X, and it is hard telling if blood or moulage.
And why was the hydraulic spray turned on? I know they are used for crowd control, but this one seemed to have no purpose.
PS Can’t wait for MM to tackle this one.

MM won’t do much with this one (not sure they would let him). Outside of the lack of blood on Trump’s hand or sleeve. There is very little actual evidence to go at. The bullet picture maybe, but I would have actually shot that on a different day and made it genuine if it was up to me.
This is not a low budget Iraqi super spy type fake that they are having to pull off every week.
Really it’s the whole story and all of the supposed actions taken, and the actors that make this a fail. Or a winner depending on your goals. I love the female security she is hamming it up so badly, and the trump supporter with the hair.
Looks like you guys will need a bigger security budget.

Apparently he was asked how that happened because he thought it was kind of gee whiz too.. he commented that they were good tight snug shoes, not just some loose slip-on loafers. Unless I hallucinated that comment somehow. I think no agenda mentioned it, wherever they heard it. Anyway I will never in a million years get how all these victims of crazed shooters get knocked out of their shoes. Doesn’t seem very Newtonian physics to me. Maybe space-time bends in these cases.

I love the name of the shooter, Thomas Crooks. Almost as good as the Highland Park shooter Robert “Bobby” Crimo (III, the third!). Luckily Lake County has a Major Crimes Task Force. I’m glad they do, just like the police chief of my small New England town went on leave several times for counterterrorism training.
More on Bobby Crimo, said he was obsessed with 4 and 7. What does 4+7=? Oh it’s 7+4, not 11.
Also, third paragraph, note attack was not moviated by any other protected status? What does protected status mean? Politicians, and other minorities like billionaires.
Investigators believe the suspect planned the attack for weeks, Chris Covelli, spokesperson for the Lake County Major Crimes Task Force, said at one of several news conferences Tuesday. The suspect dressed in women’s clothing to help conceal his identity, Covelli said, blended in with the crowds as they fled the area, and went to his mother’s house.
Law enforcement has yet to establish a motive, and Covelli declined to address a potential motive again Wednesday, saying only that Crimo “had some type of affinity towards the number four and seven and inverse was 7/4,” the date of July Fourth.
Covelli previously said there has been no information to suggest the attack was “racially motivated, motivated by religion or any other protected status.”

“What the hell is THAAAT?” = the news hoax equivalent of Hollywood’s “Wilhelm Scream.” I love it.
While having a futile conversation with a relative suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome, I argued that ever since his first presidential term, Trump has wielded far more power over the people who hate him than over those who think he’s their swamp-draining savior. In the very early days of the Covid agit-prop, I was able to discuss things about that story that didn’t make sense with my liberal friends. But as soon as Trump said he thought Covid might be a hoax, liberals minds were instantly made up: If Trump said it was fake, it was real, and anyone who asked questions was a deplorable Trumpster.
But he’s obviously going to play the role of POTUS again, and I suppose his scriptwriters need to change things up.
From a propaganda point of view, this fake assassination attempt forces Trump’s haters to look at their hatred in a new light, if only subconsciously. This is the story of Trump hatred being taken to its greatest extreme and then being thwarted, the Trump-hating assassin killed. My guess is that this is an opening salvo in an effort to steer liberals into a begrudging acceptance of what they believe is the embodiment of authoritarianism.
Of course, authoritarianism is already here, but its modern version is much more subtle than authoritarianism of old. It doesn’t need a single leader–a Hitler, a Stalin, a Mussolini or a Trump to control the masses. Today’s authoritarianism is implemented via social media, Silicon Valley, and relentless 24/7 agit-prop.
Still, this Trump character is a powerful propaganda tool, and they have to keep his story interesting and engaging for his lovers and his haters. This fake story must signal some sort of shift in how the real, behind-the-curtain authoritarians plan to use their orange puppet going forward, don’t you think?

One by one on Friday morning, people began to gather along the winding roads and corn fields to plant American flags, spread out their blankets and wait for the fire trucks.
They knew the nation was watching, after the attempted assassination of former President Donald J. Trump thrust their corner of western Pennsylvania into the spotlight. But the day was about honoring a local man: Corey Comperatore, the volunteer firefighter and father of two killed in the gunfire on Saturday.
“You couldn’t comprehend that happened,” said Michael Drane, 66, who stood across the street from the funeral service to pay tribute to a man he had only known as a familiar face in the neighborhood. He blinked back tears as he recalled the violence on Saturday. “Not here. Not home.”
