Here is my thread covering it
Its nothing too different, but Ithe entire video that this 8 minute clip is from posted - its closer to 30 mins and I found the whole thing pretty captivating and convincing. Worth watching if you have the time! Doesn't hurt that Dr. Chris has a quirky and funny kind of style to him too.
There's also some links in the comments to the CNN article he references (Univ. Of Colorado's findings that corroborated this) and a pretty thorough article in Asia Times going over the entirety of the facts we know so far.
Hope this is a useful contribution.
Here are some of my personal thoughts:
It now seems as though all this rooftop action - out in the open air, where a gathered crowd numbering in the thousands could act as eyewitnesses, take photos and video records with their cell phones, etc. - was just a bit of misdirection theatre and likely a necessary part of the plan by the bad guys.
This newest information and analysis seems to say that the REAL ACTION might have been whatever was happening inside these buildings, not on top of them. So what better way to distract the GP then this current puppet show of the tabula rasa Lone Gunman™️, seemingly baffling choices and/or cartoonish ineptitude from the agencies and police on full display, resulting now in factional frictions and playing the blame game, peppered with disjointed releases of information at intervals along the way, most of which has had the utility of wet puzzle pieces so far, all very visible, out in plain sight which helps all the stories and media recorded by the crowd to further muddy the waters.
All of it served up by the legacy media, pearl clutching and feigning outrage, and chiefly wondering aloud why the audience seemed to play a bigger role in thwarting the apparent threat than law enforcement. (Hint: The MSM has not suddenly decided to champion you or your values, they just get to play good cop this time. And overweight PA guys with Guy Fieri haircuts and a coozy beer in one hand are not going to be the hero, or Sherlock Holmes, etc. in this sort of event)
Start by taking away any autonomy from Crooks. He is not making any choices or decisions; in fact, more and more it seems like he was primarily a distraction: weird ass kid, shambling around looking suss all day, om amd off the grounds, playing with binoculars, moving around a Play Skool ladder, scampering across rooftops, flying fuckin' kites. Its a wonder he wasn't burning a few sparklers while he was up there.
If I am a high level, worldwide power broker who wants to take out Trump, am I entrusting the entire success or failure of this bold chess move to someone who recently got their braces off? Come the fuck on. The lone gunman hypothesis is practically BEGGING to be debunked and we should assume they knew this already. So I assume there will be additional layers of deception to cut through even when this initial stuff resolves.
According to the info and audio so far, the counter sniper team fired just once to neutralize Crooks, a full 13 seconds after the first gunshot was recorded. Its almost the last sound in the sequence. Yet we were told (and saw in footage... sort of) that one of the counter sniper teams ALREADY had their sights trained on Crooks BEFORE the volley began.
Is there some reason for this delay? Was he supposed to be wounded and taken alive, and only eliminated upon mission compromised status fully confirmed? Just idle speculation but a dead patsy doesn't seem as useful. All he is now is a bunch of fill in the blanks, with shockingly little traces of having even existed. Why wouldn't he have been carrying his ID; why would that matter to him? Unless he expected to be captured maybe?
There was also this line fed to us that a police or SS unit was supposed to be on that rooftop and they "just didn't show up." Forget the ridiculous 50 foot distance between the two other counter sniper teams, and how that would make their coverage so redundant as to be almost useless; forget Pac-Man perimeters, forget all the gaps in logic. This was stated, a missing detail for this roof, and subsequently we were told there was a presence INSIDE the building. Its mystifying more than preposterous now.
Was the original plan to have units inside the building aiming out of the windows and then ANOTHER sniper unit, covering what we would assume to be the EXACT SAME AREA on the roof? Would any of them be covering areas NOT facing Trump for some reason?
So its clear we need eyes inside that building that Crooks was on top of. And after that, the buildings behind it along the same line of sight. I am wondering now if maybe that sniper detail DID show up, but maybe with a little spaghetti sauce stain on their ID badges, if you catch my drift. 🤐
The overwhelming likelihood I am thinking is possibly someone impersonating law enforcement, and the mystery shots came from inside a building, out of a window, at a safe remove from the fiasco fireworks named Thomas Crooks, and where the gunman would not be easily spotted, especially with the commotion in front of his line of sight acting as a smokescreen.
Final part, I believe he says the audio signatures suggest that the first shots were NOT Crooks, and his were buried in the later series of rapports heard. Meaning initial shots came from mystery location. If so, then why?
I am wondering if something got rushed.
My guess of the ideal method would be Crooks takes his best shot, while simultaneously or closely timed as possible, Shooter 2, a trained pro, takes a second shot. Maybe that helps cover audio signatures, and most importantly, prevents a miracle head turn like the one we saw from working and saving the target's life.
They haven't been forthcoming about that interval of time between the officer seeing him on the roof and armed and when the gunshots began. From the accounts given so far though I was partial to thinking it wasn't very long, maybe just seconds.
We do now know that there was NOT some sort of emergency or all-in channel that everyone was listening to. It was said the communication with Secret Service was being done with liaisons of some kind. Elsewhere I heard it said it was a complicated, nonsensical series of channels between agencies. This would check out as being a boon to the bad guys and likely they were listening in.
I replay this bizarre sequence in my mind's eye: the cop boosting up the other one, him hanging off the roof, pulls his head up and sees Crooks (was he prone by then?), Crooks points his rifle at him, possibly says something, and then the cop loses his grip and falls 8 feet, and we were told he injured himself.
Now suppose Shooter 2 from his vantage sees this crazy shit playing out, and depending on how everyone was turned and what was visible to him, mistakenly thought something else had happened.
Specifically, what if it looked like Crooks SHOT THE COP and then he fell off 🤣
Maybe he is seeing mostly the back of Crooks, can't see if there was any muzzle flash and he sees the cop slip off but not where he lands?
What if Shooter 2 was watching that, mistook it for something else, and then hurried to open his window and take a shot? Losing his cool and hurrying, maybe he took the shot at Trump early and off schedule, before he was supposed to?And maybe that's what puts the bullet along that path and then Trump turns his noggin just in the nick of time?
There's no way to ever know, but I just wanted to share it as a bizarre scenario I had considered. Thanks for reading along if you came this far!
Glad this is making the rounds.
