I wasn't suggesting that you sounded offensive -- I've just resigned myself to not arguing issues that have no clear evidence. (Hence my 'if you believe that' comment.)
You are correct when you say HUNDREDS of people would have to be in on it -- and even if all the folks 'closeby' were operatives (100s), there were still thousands of patriots nearby. I just don't see it happening. Perhaps (many) patriots could be fooled in a pre-9/11 world, but not now.
FWIW - The dead shooter doesn't sway me either way, because whether it was a real attempt on Trump or a staged one -- the bad guys still need a (dead) fall guy.
Lastly, you say --
'We'll never know exactly how it was done.
For me, it was clearly an act of God.
I won't argue with you - as it's fruitless. If you believe that it was in his hat, I can't disprove it.
For me, it comes down to 'what makes sense'.
Forget the 'ear blood' for a moment....
There were multiple people shot, in a densely crowded area, full of people who could not have been intelligence operatives (at least not all of them).
I don't believe the good guys would shoot people (but you might) -- and what's more, they didn't have to.
If you believe it was all staged for 'emotional effect', they could have easily had the same effect with just your proposed 'hat trick' -- so why kill and maim people? That certainly didn't add to the narrative -- if anything, it made it far more difficult for Trump to 'emotionally capitalize' on it.
I think you need to ask that question of the original poster - they are the one saying this is staged (with random injuries and fatalities).
I'm saying it was not staged, as I don't see it being possible.
No blood bead 'behind the podium'. The blood appeared on his hand a fraction of a second after he touched his ear -- BEFORE he dropped down.
Also, you could see his hand was empty as it reached for his ear. And as he first came onstage, you could see that there was nothing 'preloaded' behind his ear.
Yep. Those massive power lines (connected to a row of falling poles) could easily exert a lot of force.
Just think back to the last time you did an 'informally' towed a car. Just as you take up the slack, you get a powerful 'snap'. I'm sure plenty of people have ripped bumpers off. Same concept.
I'm certainly no expert, but wouldn't someone signing their own signature have a fluid motion between the 'B' and 'iden'? It's muscle memory.
In contrast, the Autopen signature has a clear break between the 'B' and 'iden'. To me, that implies that this was not muscle memory, but someone trying to forge a signature.
I can see two of the (wooden) poles 'snapped and splintered'. Not sawed - snapped. That takes a lot of force (unless every pole was rotted - but then the splintering would look different).
Have you ever hung 'clip-on' Christmas lights on the eaves of a house? Everything is fine unless you tug too hard on one -- then the whole string comes down. The first one pulls on the second, then that one pulls the third, and so on.
Somewhere (perhaps not anywhere near this video), there was a big 'wind event' (or perhaps something nefarious) that started the process with a bad pole (or something). The rest of them fell as a result, being pulled down by it's neighbor. So -- there's no debris near this area - but there's likely some debris somewhere.
The poles are probably many decades old.
But there is no way that anyone 'pulled down' those poles (or something similar) without someone filming them. It would take too long.
I guess California got tired of trying to convince people not to celebrate Independence Day -- so they just blew up the fireworks factory.
This is a great example of the 'elite double standards' in Congress.
Stanton can blatantly impugn the reputation of a witness, but when the witness comes back with a (lesser) remark, they interrupt and scream 'Take that back! Strike those words!'
It's sickening.
'Shown here making the satanic sign of '666' at that meeting' (in 1990)
I'm pretty sure Netanyahu did not look that old 35 years ago.
I think -- if they try really hard -- that they might be able to find a more annoying sign language interpreter.
But maybe not.
They WERE chosen --- chosen to learn from God and to be ready to recognize and accept Jesus when he appeared.
A very FEW fulfilled that role (and became Christian).
The majority who did not, failed in the task that they were chosen for -- through their own free will.
...and a missing 'P'.
Does that mean the shot has been removed from the 'childhood vaccine schedule'?
I tend to agree with you. He's intentionally shifting the 'awakening narrative' from 'they tried to kill us' into 'which half of the population guessed right'.
And the words he chooses to describe HOW we were 'right' really pisses me off. He acts as if we were acting on pure emotion.
We didn't 'guess', and he didn't 'analyze'.
WE were the ones who actually analyzed. He just parroted the company line.
And now, as his final act - he wants to imply that we just 'got lucky'.
I agree with your sentiment -- but one of the reasons that the world is in such sad shape is that most people don't understand who the real enemy is.
So, yes - kudos for his humility -- but the way he framed it perpetuates the 'us vs them' mentality.
Yes, he certainly said that 'we were right', but he also said - over and over and over again - that the anti-vaxxers are 'the winners'. Then he continued, saying 'You won, you won, you won - completely'. He said we should take the 'victory', and him the 'defeat'.
That language is unambiguously describing two 'teams' -- 'us vs them' - 'the anti-vaxxers vs the pro-vaxxers'.
It misses the much much larger issue -- that a global cabal tried to kill all of us.
Nothing he said mentioned the 'third team' -- the killing team.
He still doesn't get it.
He still doesn't get it.
We didn't 'beat you', you dipshit. We stayed alive.
The enemy is not 'each other', the enemy are 'those who tried to kill us'.
Or, the ironic alternative: ...The Vaxx leads to Turbo-Cancers
I want to see this as a chart.
Does anyone know where the raw data is?
Looks like a cross between Nixon and Frankenstein -- plus a touch of Matthew Broderick.
He does not say that he is 'millions of dollars in debt'.
He says that it has been reported in the press that he is 'millions of dollars in debt'.
These are the slimy word games that these people play.
Good question!
Someone first told me that about 30 years ago. It's great advice.
