FBI director casts doubts on Trump being struck by bullet during assassination attempt

FBI Director Christopher Wray has raised doubts as to whether or not Donald Trump was struck by a bullet during the assassination attempt at a Pennsylvania rally earlier this month.

• Trump was never struck, and the whole Maxi Pad has been a LIE? He is faking a big injury when nothing but a cut from jumping to the stage in fear or being dry humped dogpiled by the mostly Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) substitutes for the real Secret Service? Wow, what a fake.

But he's wearing such a big bandage! Must be bad

Director Wray testified before the House Judiciary Committee yesterday (Wednesday, July 24) about the ongoing investigation into the attempt on the former president’s life and the response of law enforcement agencies that day.

When questioned by committee chairman Jim Jordan as to whether the FBI had accounted for all of the bullets at the scene, Director Wray said that eight spent rounds were recovered from the rooftop of the building from which the gunman opened fire.

“With respect to former president Trump, there’s some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear,” the FBI chief added.

“As I sit here right now, I don’t know whether that bullet… in addition to causing the grazing, could have landed somewhere else.”

He added: “But I believe we’ve accounted for all the shots in the cartridges.”

[Alleged lone wolf] gunman Thomas Crooks [allegedly] fired a volley of eight rounds towards Trump using an AR-15 rifle while the former president stood on stage speaking to rallygoers in Butler, Pennsylvania, killing one rallygoer and wounding two others.

Former White House physician Ronny Jackson has said that Trump was shot in the ear creating a 2cm-wide wound, according to a memo shared with Axios.

The former president has also repeatedly said that he was struck in the ear by a bullet. More + VIDEO

The bullet messed up my hair.

(WQ) If the news is to be believed, because Trump says it is all "fake news," TV footage shows him speaking in Pennsylvania when loud shots are heard, he grabs at his right ear, and he goes down. The stage is then swarmed with black suits waving automatic weapons -- and special ops paramilitary take the stage and point rifles at the crowd of flag wearing rural folk.

While from the camera's point of view looking dead on at Trump's corpse, which somehow remains alive, is brought to its feet, blood smeared around his right ear, near his big pink bald spot where his wiry combover does not cover.

The crowd behind him is looking in the wrong direction, to their left as if a shooter is there or someone on the ground. They do not rush him or think to pull on their cameras and take live footage, but then Trump brings the audience to their feet by raising his fist in a defiant manner and shouting what a lipreader would swear was, "F*ck, f*ck, f*ck!" which the mainstream media is reporting was actually. "Fight, fight, fight!" Pennsylvania police report that the Secret Service murdered the suspected shooter and at least one other person, presumably caught in the crossfire of agents bearing down on suspect.

Malala Yousafzai in Oscar race with film

(DT Next) Malala Yousafzai [the young Afghan girl who got shot in the head by the "Taliban" for trying to go to school, or at least that's the pro-war CIA propaganda we are fed] is in the Oscar race for an Academy Award with her film Stranger at the Gate.

[Malala is a kind of Greta used, not in the climate debate, but to promote US military involvement in Afghanistan in the propaganda war by the CIA to convince American citizens to support their massive war effort. One is reminded of the other bullet-to-the-head "miracle survival" story, astronaut-turned-politician twin Mark Kelly's wife, the Congressperson Gabby Giffords, when it seems both Yousufzai and she had brain surgery and this whole being shot story was made up to take a bad situation and milk it for propaganda purposes.]

Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai has boarded the Oscar-shortlisted documentary short film Stranger at the Gate as executive producer.

The film, which charts the surprising change of heart of a PTSD-branded former U.S. Marine-domestic terrorist who set out to bomb a mosque (Islamic temple) but instead converted to Islam because his victims were so kind to him.

It was a prize winner at the 2022 Tribeca Festival. “This film is a powerful true story of forgiveness and redemption,” Yousafzai said in a statement.

“I hope the film challenges [viewers] to question their assumptions and show kindness to everyone they meet.” Directed by Joshua Seftel. Distributed by The New Yorker as part of the magazine’s documentary series.

Guns can't prevent tyranny, says Bill Maher

Wisdom Quarterly; Erica Ritz (The Blaze via Yahoo News); Bill Maher (Real Time, HBO)

Civilian guns can't oppose military weapons

HBO host Bill Maher had MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell as one of his guests on "Real Time" Friday night.
 
The two were adamant that the 2nd Amendment cannot protect patriotic citizens from tyranny by their own government (and that such a conversation shouldn't even really be happening in this age). [Maybe citizens should just roll over as happened in Nazi Germany and other totalitarian states where gun confiscation precedes marshal law.

 

After pointing out the poll where 44% of Republicans said an armed revolution might be necessary in order to protect liberties in the next few years, compared to 18% of Democrats [no mention of radicals, progressives, Greens, Libertarians, and independents], Maher said:

This Modern World, "The Week In #Fail" (Tom Tomorrow/thismodernworld.com)

 

"Can we get to, first of all, how ridiculous it is for people to think that the Second Amendment protects them from tyranny. Didn't Waco [the assault, lockdown, and eventual immolation by government agents of approximately 80 male, female, and child inhabitants living on a ranch in Texas] solve that? We just had the anniversary a couple of weeks ago [and a new commemoration fire bombing in the nearby town of West]. 

 

"Remember Waco? You know what they had in Waco? They [allegedly] had like 1.9 million rounds of ammunition; they had .50 caliber machine guns; they had grenades...What did the government have? Everything else.

Wish it, want it, do it, advises Brian (R)

"The winner and still champion -- the [Military-Industrial Complex of the] United States government [in league with multinational corporations]. Thinking the Second Amendment protects you from tyranny is like thinking the First Amendment protects you from Thor. It's quaint. It's ridiculous. It's nonsensical. And they never get called [on] it!

 

After Pete Hegseth, a veteran, asked whether Maher couldn't imagine a scenario even in the abstract where liberty might need to be preserved at the point of a weapon, O'Donnell said to audience applause: "Zero. We're past it. We're past it!...This country [is] long past the point where you would ever have to rise in arms against this government."

 

Bill Maher's cool, am I right? Guys? Guys?

When Hegseth said he should make his case to the rebels in Syria, O'Donnell countered: "These nuts are not talking about Syria.
 
Forty-four percent of the Republican lunatic party believes they might have to rise in arms...They're not talking about Syria."

 

O'Donnell and Maher also lamented how America tends to "romanticize" guns, playing a clip of Rick Perry's NRA video, Maher calling Perry, Ted Nugent, and Sarah Palin the "axis of a**holes" [which seems self-evident in the case of beauty queen Republican stunt Palin].

 

"Gun ownership is a minority activity," Lawrence concluded. "The rate of gun ownership is declining... More

GUIDE TO MASS SHOOTINGS

A Guide to Mass Shootings in America

There have been at least 62 in the last 30 years -- and most of the killers got their guns legally.

• Never again (until the next time) 
• Why do these things happen?
• Why are 15 million Americans breathing fire?

Update, Dec. 14, 2012: On Friday morning, 27 people were killed in a shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut. Among the fatalities are 20 children, six adults, and the shooter. Mother Jones is following the story closely with regular updates here.

 

It's perhaps too easy to forget how many times this has happened. The horrific mass murder at a movie theater in Colorado on July 20, another at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin on August 5, and another at a manufacturer in Minneapolis on September 27 are the latest in an epidemic of such gun violence over the last three decades. 

Since 1982, there have been at least 62 mass murders* carried out with firearms across the country, with the killings unfolding in 30 states from Massachusetts to Hawaii. MJ mapped them below, including details on the shooters' identities, the types of weapons they used, and the number of victims they injured and killed. More

Commentary

Wisdom Quarterly (EDITORIAL)

Since these are not likely "crazed lone gunman" incidents as the corporate media has reported for decades, we ask what is really going on. Manchurian Candidates are not so easy to produce and release into society. Just ask Judyth Vary Baker.

So they must serve some useful purposes. They spread fear and obedience/acceptance of police state tactics. We accept the encroachment of Orwellian surveillance and just about anything in the name of "security." 

Such horrific events are also exploited as pretexts for curtailing rights, liberties, and dissenting viewpoints. The founders realized that an armed citizenry was harder to conquer than a disarmed one. But now it isn't the British to worry about so much as their representatives in our own government. 

How easy it will now be to ban ordinary citizens from owning or possessing guns, but federal agents and "police" of all kinds keep arming themselves to the teeth. We assume it is for our protection, but FEMA camps are not for outsiders. We are the intended targets, "we the people," as every Occupy activist soon realized.

Anyone trying to free the country is in the way of those who would subvert our liberties and institute draconian measures to assure compliance. Not only will our policemen uncles but also our soldier brothers and sisters will surely turn their guns on us; it's in their training! 

• (They are almost all white males committing these mass murders, so the old shorthand "Beware of strangers" doesn't work to keep us falsely feeling safe anymore. But we can't call it racial if we're the race being named. Xenophobia says it's other, always "other.")
• Look how everyone now accepts "school lockdowns," a prison term used to break and abuse inmates in the name of security, without question. Accepts? They now demand it in the name of "security."
• Remember the founder who said something like, Those willing to give up liberty for security deserve neither and will lose both? (It was good ol' boy Ben Franklin, whose name in Israel could be translated as "Son of Frankenstein")

It is the point of their training: Practice on foreign enemies then search and destroy the "enemy within" whoever that may be. Who is it? Is it you? Is it me? We can't trust anyone! Run, hide, turn in your neighbor! Crawl and beg for your life. How could the population not stand up to this transparent set up.

Of course, we never believe anything bad about our government. We, however, have no trouble seeing the bad in other governments. So one can look in the mirror by seeing the same thing happening in China. On the same day as the Newtown shooting, a crazed man in China walked into a school (again) to slaughter children.

"Let's blame guns"? If guns were to blame, and they almost are, we should ban guns, ALL guns. But guns aren't going anywhere. There are 300,000,000 (three hundred million) in this country, a gun for everyone but the infants. And these crimes send sales soaring. What about when they are confiscated by those with the guns, the "security" forces? Then will we be safe from their enforcement schemes
