Attempted assassination of President Trump: Who is responsible?

You've heard the news. You may be watching the news right now. About 75 minutes ago someone shot Donald J. Trump, the once and future POTUS, during a rally in Butler County PA. 

Your immediate reaction, like mine, must surely have been: who did this? That's a question which may never be answered!

10 minutes ago I watched, on NBC, a live interview with a person who said she was sitting right in the front row. After she confirmed what we saw in the video, the interviewee said "Thank God they killed rthe shooter", who she said had fired from a tower somewhere to the right Mr Trump.

Strange, isn't it, that no official source had said anything about that. Immediately the interview concluded, Lester Holt said that this was just the account of one person which could not be confirmed. Has a cover-up already begun?

Let's suppose that the shooter was (a) an Islamic (or other) terrorist; (b) a looney leftist, antifa type; (c) an agent of the Deep State; or even (d) a sufferer from TDS, nuttier than squirrel shit and determined that there should be no second term for Trump. Would the Deep State, the Democrats and their lickspittle media want you to know this?

If they want to cover their sorry asses, how would they do so? Simple. By assassinating the would-be assassin. So far, what we're hearing from Official Sources is that the threat has been "contained". Whatever can that mean? Stay tuned... but don't hold your breath!

UPDATE ADDED at 1930: It is now four hours since the failed assassination attempt. The shooter is dead, having been shot by a Secret Service sniper within seconds of shooting at President Trump from "an elevated position" (read: tower) about 200 yards from the podium (yet somehow outside the secure perimeter). 

The body of the shooter has been recovered, along with his AR-15 assault rifle, but he remains unidentified. More accurately, no-one is prepared to tell us what the government knows. Commentator on CBS to interviewee: "You've called this an 'attempted assassination'. Surely you're not implying that the government was somehow involved... are you?" Interviewee: "Oh no. No no."

Waiting for the 8th - Epidemic of TDS sweeps the media

Earlier today I wrote that the Dumbocrats are pulling out all the stops... stopping at nothing... because they are shit-scared that the Republicans will regain control of Congress, paving the way for a return of President Trump in 2024. Their scare-mongering is being aided and abetted by the lickspittle media, in which term I include CNN and NBC. The following story is republished, in full, from today's Daily Wire. The emphasis is mine.

NBC historian Michael Beschloss, who is known for making hyper-partisan and fanatical claims, claimed without evidence during a segment this week that if Republicans win the midterm elections next week that children could be arrested and killed. 

Beschloss’ remarks on MSNBC’s "All In With Chris Hayes" comes after President Joe Biden urged the country to unite and repeatedly demonized Republicans as a threat to American democracy during a speech this week.

"Six nights from now, we could all be discussing violence all over this country," Beschloss claimed. "There are signs that may happen, may God forbid, that losers will be declared winners by fraudulent election officers, or secretary of state candidates, or governors, or state legislatures."

"We could be six days away from losing our rule of law and losing a situation where we have elections that we all can rely on," he continued. "You know, those are the foundation stones of a democracy. So, if Biden had gone on the air tonight and said, the biggest thing we have to worry about is marginal tax rates, or something like that, well, it is important. But what significant presidents do, I think you’ll agree, we both write history, you and I. In 1860, Lincoln didn’t say the biggest issue was — colleges, although he felt strongly. He said the country can’t survive half slave or half free."

"1940, Franklin Roosevelt didn’t say, you know, the biggest thing I’m worried about is farm policy," he added. "Farm policy was important to him, but what he did say was, never before, since Jamestown and Plymouth Rock has America been in such danger."

"Joe Biden is saying the same thing tonight, and a historian 50 years from now, if historians are allowed to write in this country, and if there are still free publishing houses and a free press, which I'm not certain of," he concluded on the matter. 

"But if that is true, a historian will say what was at stake tonight and this week was the fact whether we will be a democracy in the future, whether our children will be arrested and conceivably killed — we’re on the edge of a brutal authoritarian system, and it could be a week away."

I have only one comment. If there is violence all over the country, four nights after tonight, it won't be caused by supporters of the Republican Party and President Trump. Since America has a two-party system, that leaves only... errr....

Top 5 American sources of fake news

Here's a meme that pretty much sums things up, taken from "CNN Introduces Segment Where They Rant About What Trump Would Have Tweeted If He Hadn't Gotten Kicked Off Of Twitter"

on Babylon Bee (where else?), 21/4/21.

How about the rest of the world? In Canada, Germany and the Disunited Kingdom, the news sources you can distrust the most are those owned by the all-powerful state. They may pretend to operate at arm's length -- the CBC (Canadian Broadcorping Castration) is a so-called "independent crown corporation -- but they know who signs the paycheques.

Walt recommends (mostly for Americans): NTD News Today. And of course Breitbart... For Canadians and Americans: Blazing Cat Fur ... and keep reading WWW!

The truth is not out there. There truth is here!

NBC: "It's just a 'protest', not a 'riot'!"

Pictured above is a scene in Minneapolis showing people engaged in what the lamestream media -- particularly NBC -- tells us should be called a "protest", not a "riot", over this week's death-by-cop of George Floyd. While Twitter was busy flagging Still-President Trump's tweets on the "protests" for "inciting violence", NBC host Craig Melvin posted this tweet yesterday.

For readers who don't watch NBC/MSNBC, Walt should explain (in case you hadn't noticed) that Mr Melvin is a diversity hire, currently working as a bingo caller ["news anchor", shurely. Ed.] for NBC's Today and a co-host of Today Third Hour. Since the "protesters" seen smashing windows and making off with "liberated merchandise" from Target and other stores in Minneapolis are apparently "people of colour", like Mr Melvin hisself, he obviously wants to make sure that their actions are not mischaracterized by the evil racists at Breitbart, Fox News, or even his own network.

VIDEO: CBS, NBC play down black attacks on whites in Philadelphia

Let's start with the headline, as it appears on the CBS Philly website: "Temple Students Attacked, Officer Thrown To Ground, Police Horse Punched In Assaults". And here's the video.



OK... What's missing from that report? Walt will tell you. The TV station's very PC news team -- a black man and a white woman on the anchor desk and a Vietnamese-American woman doing the stand-up -- omitted entirely any mention of the racial aspect of the attacks shown clearly in the video. The fact is that the attackers were black, and the victims were white. If you doubt it, watch again. If you are surprised, what planet have you been living on?

The NBC outlet in Philadelphia took exactly the same PC line, even though their footage also revealed the truth that the attacks were aimed at whites.

According to CBS, the violence was planned "through social media" with a message for a "large group of teens" to meet near the campus Friday night. They said that police estimate that 200 "teenagers" were in the crowd at the movie theater at Broad and Oxford and then divided into smaller groups, attacking and robbing other "students", who all just happened to be white.

"Teens" and "juveniles" are code words for non-white, used by the controlled lamestream media when they want to avoid mentioning race. Need I add that if the "teens" had been white, we would have been spared no detail about the "racist whites". But since the attackers were black, if race is mentioned at all it's only to say that the poor, disadvantaged yoofs are angry because they've been "marginalized" and "excluded" from society.

Could there be any reason, other than political correctness, for not calling a spade a spade? Wouldn't have anything to do with the upcoming election, would it? Of course not.

How much Americans know about Canada, Part 72

Fox... You know, the one who had that awful disease and was so courageous. And funny too, especially in that Back to Future movie! Yeah, he's the one who should have lit the Olympic flame. No doubt about it, at least in the mind (if you'll forgive the overstatement) of NBC.
