I watched the event from the very beginning. I've tried to tell people that it wasn't staged, even though they don't believe me. They were just bumbling idiots who had no idea how to handle the situation. There was chaos. Smh
When the FBI and SS gave no information about how the law enforcement officer was shot, it was a dead giveaway that friendly fire caused the shooting. It's not what they say that tells me the story. It's always what they don't say that tells the story.😐
In stills from the video released by the Washington Post, the only actual “shooter” had POLICE written clearly across the back of his uniform. I’m guessing that Secret Service agents were in the ballroom itself and DC cops were covering the perimeter.
Jim, thank you for this work. It is so vital to help Americans process what they're seeing and determine reality. Especially for those who aren't survivors of childhood indoctrination and/or psychological abuse.
Jim, this is a beautifully reasoned piece, but I want to try to push back a little. There are parts of this story that make me reasonably skeptical of who Cole Allen really is. Great claims require great evidence, so here goes:
1. The end of the so-called manifesto reads like a press release. Allen (or whoever wrote it) itemized the specific security failures he encountered. "Not in transport. Not in the hotel. Not in the event."
The manifesto just happens to align 100% with conservative messaging about how Trump shouldn't have to transport to hotel events, and that the White House ballroom is essential because outside venues can't be secured?? I'm sorry but the shooter's complaint and the administration's argument are the same argument, nearly word-for-word.
2. There was unusual Israeli search activity for "Cole Allen" *before* the attack. You can verify this yourself: go to Google Trends, search "Cole Allen," set the location to Israel, and look at the past week and the past five years. The data clearly shows that in the five years preceding the attack, Israeli interest in the search term "Cole Allen" is essentially flat with one bump in early 2022, maybe the actor?. Otherwise nothing.
Then there was a small bump on April 22, three days before the attack.
Another small bump in the early morning hours of April 25 (Eastern time), about 17 hours before the attack.
A large, pronounced peak at 8:16 PM Eastern on April 25, only minutes before shots were fired at the Hilton.
The (expected) big wave after Allen's name was publicly released that night and into April 26.
Three days later, on April 28, Israeli search activity for the name has returned to actual zero. Not "decaying". The story in Israel is now 100% dead on Google Trends, just 72 hours later. Nobody in Israel is searching for Allen tonight.
Yes, it's possible that some other Cole Allen happened to generate searches in Israel on April 22 for unrelated reasons. But to explain the data, you'd also have to explain why the same incidental interest evaporated entirely after April 25, 72 hours after a supposed presidential assassination attempt. These Israelis should care about a Trump assassination attempt. He's their boy.
I don't know what we're seeing. But I think it's reasonable to be skeptical of intelligence-sharing through formal channels, an Israeli journalist with a US source, independent surveillance, or false-flag.
3. Aishah Hasnie, on Fox News, cut off mid-sentence
Within an hour of the shooting, Hasnie called in from the Hilton. She described being seated next to Nicholas Riccio, Karoline Leavitt's husband, during dinner. Per her on-air account: during the national anthem (before any shots were fired) Riccio leaned over and said, "I watched her on TV do a great job. You need to be very safe."
Hasnie said Riccio was "very serious," "kind of looked around the room," and added: "You know, there are some..."
At that moment, her audio was cut. There were a few seconds of silence, then the anchor pivoted: "Sounds like we lost Aishah's phone there. And this happens, by the way, especially when so many people are attempting to utilize the same cell..."
The Fox reporter never made an attempt to reconnect. Did not even say a "hello? Aishah? Are you still there?) The reporter's deliberate explanation that cell conversations drop sometimes was really creepy. Like. Call her back up then. Let her finish her thought. I dare you.
4. The Shumate letter was, as you alluded to, incoherent. The Correspondents' Dinner is hosted by the WHCA, not the White House. The WHCA decides the venue and has used the Hilton since 1968. If we compare capacity, it's even stupider: ~2,500 attendees at the Hilton vs. a proposed 90,000 sq ft ballroom designed to seat ~1,000. The building the letter demands is physically unable to host the event.
Coherent legal arguments take time to draft. An incoherent one deployed in 18 hours, with a 14-hour deadline attached, was clearly assembled from existing parts or, (pardon my conspiratorial suspicions) ahead of time.
To recap: The manifesto sounds like a press release for the ballroom. ~10 to ~100 Israelis searched Allen's name before he arrived. Someone at the dinner appeared to know something was coming. The legal response was pre-formed enough to deploy on a holiday weekend. That's a lot for a panoptic frame to absorb.
makes one wonder if the regime had a 'false flag' event planned, but Mr. Allen stole their thunder? They decided to run with his acts instead of what they had planned...????
So many royal theatre troupes - Justice, Ice, DOJ, former DOGE, White House staff, WH Cabinet members, etc. Maybe partly why Trump wanted to put his name on John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts. He has assembled so many incredible actors and actresses with various programmatic agendas. There should be a traveling carnival named after Trump and his Con Man promotional talents. In this mini-warehouse cage filled with chickens, you will find Stephen Miller...
Really like your use of descriptive language about the bus falling apart - rims, sparks. Are you turning poetic on us? :)
The man who set the Tesla on fire in front of one of Trump's hotels on Jan 1 2025 told us everything about what was to come:
Trump is Il Duce in diapers. A pathetic baby fascist. Whining and crying all day and throwing his food on the floor when he doesn't get his way. You'd think maybe THAT would embarrass at least some Republicans. But NO. They grovel and drool before little Lord Flaunt-le-Roi as he systematically destroys the world just as he did the East Wing. This nightmare has reached truly epic dimensions.
The Emperor may have no clothes but he does have gold. It's all over the walls of the White House like scat. Some of the people have no scruples. Most of the people around Trump don't. Maybe almost all of the people. They will do anything to win - even killing the game of democracy.
I agree with you 100%. It doesn't need to be a false flag to morph into a psyop. The near-contemporaneous social media blitz by the MAGAsphere influencers ("build the ballroom") was a bit much, though. What are we supposed to think?
Another great article. Rick Wilson today begged the Trump regime and echo chamber to keep pushing the ballroom that we the taxpayers will be asked to pay for. That will go over like a lead balloon with folks who are having sticker shock at the gas pumps. I also listened to Mike Madrid today talking about Trump's sinking poll numbers, which he says are beyond bad. The wheels are coming off. But we must not get complacent, because though the madhouse is unraveling and more people are coming to their senses, we aren't out of the woods yet. Thanks for your continued wisdom and guidance.
Great article! Always learn like 10 new things each time.
Whether Trump knew in advance or not, if it was set up by another group or nation who has a stake in the data center pipes under the Whitehouse, it feels fair to call it staged. The timing seems too important and precise to leave to chance. Here’s a worthwhile post from Drey Dossier about the “shed on top of the data center”.
Lastly, the irony of locking the first amendment press in a room with no information and hiring a mentalist (he earned his fee for sure) to help put on a psyop in front of them, making them think they’re “on-the-scene” when they have zero freedom of movement and no line of site and are forced to unwittingly publish every little drip drip of information “leaked” to them from administration plants to show their readers they are reporting from where it all happened (not) , is too complicated to set up, without some preparation. Odds are high nobody will ever see a date stamped copy of the speech he is bragging about not having had the opportunity to deliver. Classic tell? Just can’t stop repeating that line about the non-existent speech maybe. He thinks it’s too funny to stop himself. It would have been really rough, no doubt. They would have been on the ropes. Ha ha.
And a grand finale with a chattel slavery meme on a modern carpet. Bold anachronism. How avant garde.. A South African touch, maybe, or a top of the had to good ol Columbus. He seems to be a new fav of team eugenics for some reason.
Someone said murder mystery theatre. Not a bad line.
This is the single best analysis I have read. Thanks for all you do. Cole Allen probably thought he was going to be a hero. I think the Butler attempt had the same motive. Alex Jones had been going on and on about how, as much as he'd hate for harm to come to T, if he were assassinated, it would be good for the country as a whole. John Wilkes Booth thought he'd be a hero too. But for a guy who is supposed to be smart, Mr. Allen did not plan well, unless his plan was to be caught or killed. He was an entire floor away. He should have done something like crawl into some hole where no one could see him, but he had a good shot. Then, you wait. Now maybe such a spot does not exist, but surely he knew running past the magnetometer surrounded by dozens of guards wasn't going to work. Thanks again, Jim. I had never heard the term panopticon, but it seems to be a perfect descriptor.
Excellent article Jim. We're definitely getting acclimated to the Panopticon. I for one refuse!
I would like your take on an article in Sunday's Boston Globe on Palantir. Peter Thiel is helping to finance a new operation called "Objection.
As the article states: "For $2,000, anyone can trigger a formal investigation into a published news story. An AI system evaluates the reporting. A companion tool begins broadcasting "under investigation" warnings on social media before any verdict is issued. A public clock starts ticking the moment the process begins".
Sounds like yet another way to undermine confidence in, as well as eventually freedom of, the press.
Yeah.... pay $2,000 and instantly destroy the credibility of a news story you dislike regardless of how factually honest and corroborated it is. By the time the "investigation" warning disappears, a large segment of the citizenry will have already regarded it as a "fake" story and moved on.
I'm honestly beginning to think that the best way to start combating this shit is by ultimately flipping the script.
1. Start creating our own "anti-fascist rapid response" coalition with an army of cross-platform accounts ready to flood right-wing media with conflicting, confusing, and misleading mis- and disinformation about a topic the second it emerges. (I know it's unethical but, those individuals already live in a fantasy world anyway so we should at least feed them a fantasy that opposes the fascists, right?)
2. Build a coalition of anti-fascist coders and hackers who can build counter-AI tools that will target and obstruct, disorient, and when possible, turn their AI tools against them. Deploy those hackers to infiltrate Palantir's systems and extract damning information we can use as leverage AGAINST those fascist fucks. Drop some code bombs while inside to blast open backdoors that allow other hackers, allied or not, to also infiltrate.
I could go on for far longer than anybody likely cares to read, but the short short is..... we are long overdue to go on the offensive.
For those who've played any of the Watchdogs series video games, we need to Watchdogs their fuckin' asses. Think "Anonymous", but actually effective and legit instead of whatever the fuck these clowns pretending to be Anonymous are...
Sounds like a recipe for absolute disaster. That would squelch journalism completely and turn the evening news into PR crap. Peter Thiel is psycho. Or the antichrist.
Yeah, he's a special kinda evil for sure. My more conspiratorial side honestly wonders if that freak didn't implant himself with some of his own experimental tech years ago. He's got a whole Palpatine/Voldemort deal goin on for sure.
Like, maybe he decided to be his own test subject for the first digital AI, organic brain interface in the hopes of becoming a gen-AI infused superhuman? Instead though, like every past sci-fi tale foreshadowed, it infected the limited, K-addled brains he did have and turned them to evil mush...
Yeah, all joking aside, it's probably just the drugs and deep seated Daddy issues. Still though, that massive throbbing vein that emerges on his forehead every now and then will always have me wondering whether he implanted some Neuralink shit in there…
It's a reasonable theory given who we are dealing with. Yes, the vein really gets me too. I have read that he drinks young people's blood in an effort to stay young. ICK!!!! I hope that is not true. He would definitely do desperate things. Your theory sounds like a good sci-fi plot. The first transhuman.
The White House doesn’t need — CANNOT USE — a drone-proof bunker. Hinkley Hilton needs better security. POTUS would be at Raven Rock, OR aloft on Air Force One. My point: POTUS would NOT be at a predictable known location if the secret service is doing its job.
You're exactly right. Honestly though, I think our true overlords just sold the bunker idea to Trump by telling the fool that he'll have a secure facility to escape to when we all rise up to South Korea his ass. Ultimately, I don't think Trump has the slightest idea what's actually being built down there, and he wouldn't comprehend it even if they tried to tell him.
Meanwhile, the whole damn ballroom appears to be nothing more than a giant, heavily reinforced shield intended to be a buffer protecting the true prize. A massive, AI controlled, centralized database that will collect, analyze, and rank every single byte of data it collects on every digitally connected human across planet Earth.
It will contain an AI compiled dossier on every last one of us that includes every geolocation ping, financial transaction, text, email, and website we've ever visited. Our new overlords will be able to instantly find any shred of compromising dirt they can leverage against us, and if there is none, they can just fabricate it using the data it already has to make it appear legit.
All the while, the whole damn thing will be hidden under so many layers of top secret classification and exempted from Congressional oversight that even Congress, the courts, the press, and the puppet leaders they install as figureheads (like Trump and Vance), will be oblivious to what they're actually doing.
At least........ that's my ongoing and terrifying hypothesis. Maybe I'm just a little too paranoid and have read too many sci-fi stories...
Adam Kinzinger noted that trump has no problem attending WWE events without the massive security measures he feels he must have in a “ballroom.” Interesting point.
Trump wants to erase the White House as the residence of the President of the United States and turn it into his own impenetrable fortress/castle, like one of the several fortress/castles of Putin. Erasure of the White House leaves American democracy without a center. Trump is a malignant narcissist, but what is the diagnosis of his political enabling cadres? The real diagnosis is sociopath, but when a majority of corporate CEOs were determined to bo sociopaths, they pressured the medical industry to have the disease removed from their DSM manuals. Even today, Corporate CEOs escape being identified as among those standing in the shadows, calling all the shots.
Trump’s proposed ballroom, is so he can hold court, like Henry VIII.
The Palantir basement will be like the Fuhrerbunker.

Don’t let Peter Thiel gaslight you into thinking he’s is any closer to a mythical anything more than any other self obsessed dip💩. It’s a racket.
The arrogance of these rich guys is mind-blowing and very dangerous.
it's beyond arrogance. it's straight-jacket mental illness. A book titled: They Called Us Exceptional: And Other Lies That Raised Us
