It’s amazing how similar the notions of these American Christo fascists mirror the writings and philosophy of the Russian fascist philosopher Ivan Iilyn.

It was staged. There is zero information, social media or anything beyond name,age, city for the 2 injured. The FB account for Corey & the Marine Corps of Pennsylvania appears fake. Majority of the videos for the audience to the left of Trump stage with a wall of flags between have disappeared. I have both videos for the audience where Corey was "shot". There show it happening to the left. Most other videos have the exact same people doing the exact same movements to the RIGHT. The crowd behind Trump was real but there was no bullet. I have a scrappy background and I know a hustle when I see one. I have both videos and side by side screenshots. That kid wasn't a radical. He didn't think he was on the roof to shoot people. They said they found bombs in his car. His face & comments from kids that knew him doesn't show that. They said he wasn't a good shot nor gun crazy. They found Cambridge Analytics data on his family in Trump voter data. They made him feel like he had a friend more than likely. He wasn't a killer. I am not positive but I was a bartender for 40 years. I'm good at reading situations.

I think this was a staged event. Trump was not serious wounded and it was glass from the teleprompter and it’s not like the Secret Service to make that colossal a mistake. Just my gut

>To put to bed any lingering misinformation, the assassination attempt on Donald Trump was not “staged.” A 20-year old Republican Trump supporter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, who had a gun fetish, climbed on a roof that should have been secured by Secret Service, and missed his target by an ear width. Why?

Jim, you're assuming facts that are not proven, and ignoring the most likely explanation for what happened based upon what we actually do know.

To my knowledge, there's no real evidence that Trump was grazed by a bullet. No medical information substantiating that has been released, nor has the supposed bullet itself been produced. It's extremely unlikely that Trump would have reacted as he did if an unexpected bullet had just grazed his ear.

This isn't to suggest that Crooks didn't kill one person and wound two more. He did.

But the available information strongly suggests that the Secret Service detail (and likely local police) were complicit in creating a myth that Trump was shot at and nearly killed. Trump looks at the SS sharpshooter just before the first shot. After there's confirmation the shooter was eliminated, the SS lets Trump stand up to expose his head, neck and chest to further shots, against all SS protocol, for an obvious photo op. There are, of course, numerous other reasons to think this was staged, including the fact that there was a ladder there for him to climb up on the roof in the first place.

The shooter was a harassed young man who may have been easily persuaded to sacrifice himself for Trump, or told some alternative story. What if he was told to shoot some people, but aim away from Trump?

Overall, this is a textbook tactic for a wannabe dictator--make the leader a martyr, preclude any criticism of him and destroy all of his opposition in retaliation. That is happening now.

Instead of accepting Trump's narrative that he was subject to an assination attempt, we should be challenging that and investigating everybody involved. MAKE THEM PROVE IT! There's too much at stake to give Trump (of all people) the benefit of the doubt--the future of our country, and of democracies around the world.

If this is right, the best (and probably only) way to overcome this is to expose it as a lie. That's not going to be easy to do, because the people who planned this were professionals and they've had ample opportunity to cleanse the crime scene, etc.

But we have to try. At a minimum, please do not assert that "the assassination attempt on Donald Trump was not staged.” We just do not know whether there was an "assasination attempt" or whether what happened was staged. PEOPLE WHO ASK THOSE QUESTIONS SHOULD BE EMPOWERED, NOT SHUT DOWN! And the FBI et al. should be forced by the public to explore that possibility, ASAP.

See my comment below. I'm a 100% sure. They have been setting it up for 6 months. Flynn, Bannon, Jones, Trump all have been mentioning it. They also threw in if we have an election. Oh & Trump insists there will be a Terrorist attack. So buckle up
