…in our archives as Thomas Matthew Crooks, age 20 and proud community college graduate with an associate degree in engineering, gamer, who is probably schizophrenic or seriously bipolar
home before he attempted to assassinate President Trump?
Mobile ad data analysis reveals someone who regularly visited Crooks’ Pennsylvania home also visited a building in DC near an FBI office.
The Oversight Project identified nine devices linked to AD-IDs that were located at Crooks’ home and work within the last year.
Per the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project: “We found the assassin’s connections through our in-depth analysis of mobile ad data to track movements of Crooks and his associates”
“To do this, we tracked devices that regularly visited both Crooks’s home and place of work and followed them,” the Oversight Project said.
Someone who regularly visited Crooks home and work also visited a building in Washington, DC located in Gallery Place.
“This is in the same vicinity of an FBI office on June 26, 2023,” the Oversight Project said.
For those that are tracking this type of data, we identified devices that were located at Crook’s home and his work within the past year.
There were at least 9 devices linked to these AD-IDs
We are willing to cooperate with legitimate investigations and share further…
For the protection of whistleblowers and our investigation, we will not be sharing further information with the congressional task force due to the connective tissue between that entity and FBI, USSS, and other entities.

I watched the grilling of the Sevret Service director. It was painfully obvious she was not going to answer any questions. She was absolutely covering up. By the way, Fakebook said this picture is fake.

three encrypted communications apps
No mention of the names of said apps? A bit suspicious. I'm going with gaming servers like Skid said.
However, it must be noted that in-game chat can be a nice way to have a private conversation.
"Terrorists have used online gaming spaces to recruit, train, network,communicate, and spread terrorist messaging. Terrorist online gaming usage has included:
• Designing and producing video games that promote violent extremist narratives.
• Modifying (or “modding”) existing video games to twist the narrative into a violent extremist message or fantasy.
• Using in-game chat functions to communicate with ideologically like-minded individuals and potential recruits.
• Using gaming-adjacent platforms to convene like-minded individuals, socialize them to violent ideologies, and incite or mobilize them to violence.
• Using gaming references in messaging to normalize terrorist violence, terrorist symbols, or other violent extremist narratives, particularly among young audiences.
• Engaging in “gamification”—the use of gaming motivational techniques to encourage violence in nongaming contexts.
The online global gaming environment combines interactive gameplay with real-time conversations, creating individual and community relationships
among users that might not otherwise exist outside these platforms, often in anonymous settings. This environment may provide opportunities to access
terrorist or terrorist-related content through online gaming platforms and gaming-adjacent platforms like chat, resharing, or livestreaming features, particularly for juveniles who may be susceptible to extremist messaging."
"MMORPGs function as communication platforms not unlike social media. As such, the CIA expressed worries about the use of MMORPGs as a secret communications channel for terrorists. On February 15, 2008, the office of the Director of National Intelligence provided Congress with the Data Mining Report. In this report the existence of the so-called Reynard Project was disclosed."
[Dossier] President Biden suffered an undisclosed medical emergency during his time in Las Vegas, police sources say. Air Force One “flew so fast the plane shook" on its way back to the east coast.
[Breitbart] The communist dictator of Nicaragua Daniel Ortega called for the "disappearance of the United States" in remarks over the weekend marking the 45th anniversary of the rise of power of the Sandinista revolution in 1979.
Ortega has controlled Nicaragua for nearly three decades, having first risen to power in 1979 after the Sandinistas overthrew the dictatorship of Anastasio Somoza, and ruled until 1990, when he lost that year’s election to Violeta Barrios de Chamorro. Ortega returned to power in 2007 after winning that year’s election and installed himself a dictator, clinging to power by holding highly fraudulent elections and repressing opponents or general dissidents to his communist rule.
The Ortega regime’s celebrations of the 45th anniversary of the Sandinista revolution on Friday saw the communist dictator accompanied by envoys from the like-minded allies of Cuba, Russia, China, Iran, and Venezuela
...a country in Central America that sits on an enormous pool of oil. Formerly the most prospereous country in the region, it became infested with Commies sniffing almost unlimited wealth. It turned out the wealth wasn't unlimited, the economy collapsed under the clownish Hugo Chavez, the murder rate exceeded places like Honduras and El Salvador. A significant proportion of the populace refugeed to Colombia and points south... , among others. Some of the event’s special guests included Russian Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin, who read a message from strongman Vladimir Putin ...President-for-Life of Russia. He gets along well with other presidents for life. He is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substance. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to him. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substances... in which he highlighted the "ties of friendship" between both countries.
Ortega made his call for the disappearance of the United States — Nicaragua’s main trading partner — as he was condemning the U.S. for its support of Israel and its self-defense operations against the jihadist terrorist organization Hamas ..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,... in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... . Similar to other leftist regimes in the region, Ortega has accused Israel of commiting "genocide" in its self-defense operations against Hamas.
"If we go with that philosophy, we should call for the disappearance of the United States. The first one that should disappear is that State, which is the greatest criminal that humanity has, and not only to go around assassinating peoples, occupying countries, as has happened here in Nicaragua," Ortega said.
"I believe that the time will come when the American people will have no other way but to change, to change towards governments that have respect for the laws, respect for the people, respect for children, respect for schools, respect for immigrants colonists," he continued.
Ortega also accused the United States of allegedly waging a "war" against immigrants colonists, which he described to be "against the rights of the human species, the right of the human species to be able to move anywhere on Earth."

[RedStar] We know very little about the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905, and practically nothing good. This also concerns such an event as the defense of Port Arthur by Russian troops and naval forces – a port city on the southeastern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula on the Yellow Sea. Meanwhile, the Russian garrison of the fortress fought steadfastly and selflessly for 11 months, but in later times it was not customary to remember the military valor of our compatriots.

Side note - Japan had only started to adapt western institutions in the 1860s and gave as good as they got by 1904. Russia had been a European power from Peter the Great (circa 1700). Japan had limited resources, part of the reason of following the western pattern of geographical expansion.
[Federalist] If you need further proof that Democrats will go to extreme lengths to rig elections in their favor, look no further than the silent coup that occurred Sunday, when it was announced that Joe Biden would not seek reelection this November.
"It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President," read a letter posted by Biden’s X account. "And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term."
The whole episode resembles a storyline from a dystopian horror film. For years, Democrats and their legacy media allies pushed endless propaganda claiming a mentally-declining Biden possessed the rigorous stamina required to be president. Just last month, media hacks were parroting debunked talking points put out by the White House claiming videos showcasing Biden’s frailty were "cheap fakes."
And then the June 27 debate against Donald Trump happened. Realizing they could no longer hide Sleepy Joe’s mental decline and worrying that his cratering approval rating could cost them the 2024 election, the Democrat political machine jumped into action.
These political forces suddenly acknowledged what the general public has known since before the Delaware Democrat assumed the presidency. In a seemingly coordinated campaign, left-wing media acolytes, Democrat politicos, and Hollywood snobs spent the following weeks feigning a newfound concern about Biden’s ailing health and demanding he drop his reelection bid to "protect democracy."

Joe will succumb to injuries from a fall, totally unrelated to conspiracy theories related to cognitive decline. Something along the lines of.... "natural causes related to old age." His family will be at his side.
The deep state plan may have been a Presidential election clean slate, a 'start over' for both Dems and Republicans.

Yes, I think JB will be used as a sacrificial lamb for votes just before Election week. The laying in state, DC Parade etc. etc. etc. as sure to pull in some crying/lying hearts and their votes.
BTW: Covid cases are at such low count, even World-o-meters stop its data collection back in April.
But somehow JB still got it and got it out of the usual season for it also?

I don’t think he can communicate effectively any more. If he is not dead, his slurring and dementia is now bad enough where having him speak publicly make it implausible that they were not covering up his degrading health.

Who has "self-inflicted airstrike" on their bingo card?
[Rutherford Institute] "The two ’sides’ of mainstream politics are not fighting against one another, they’re only fighting against you. Their only job is to keep you clapping along with the two-handed puppet show as they rob you blind and tighten your chains while your gaze is fixed on the performance."—Caitlin Johnstone
A failed assassination attempt on a presidential candidate. An incumbent president withdrawing his re-election bid at the 11th hour. A politicized judiciary that fails to hold the powers-that-be accountable to the rule of law. A world at war. A nation in turmoil.
This is what controlled chaos looks like.
This year’s election-year referendum on which corporate puppet should occupy the White House has quickly become a lesson in how the Deep State engineers a crisis to keep itself in power.
Don’t get so caught up in the performance that you lose sight of what’s real.
This endless series of diversions, distractions and political drama is the oldest con game in the books, the magician’s sleight of hand that keeps you focused on the shell game in front of you while your wallet is being picked clean by ruffians in your midst.
It’s the Reichstag Fire all over again.
It was February 1933, a month before national elections in Germany, and the Nazis weren’t expected to win. So they engineered a way to win: they began by infiltrating the police and granting police powers to their allies; then Hitler brought in stormtroopers to act as auxiliary police; by the time an arsonist (who claimed to be working for the Communists in the hopes of starting an armed revolt) set fire to the Reichstag, the German parliamentary building, the people were eager for a return to law and order.
That was all it took: Hitler used the attempted "coup" as an excuse to declare martial law and seize absolute power in Germany, establishing himself as a dictator with the support of the German people.
Fast forward to the present day, and what do we have? A discontented citizenry, a disconnected government, and a Deep State that wants to stay in power at all costs.
So what happens? Trump has a near miss, Biden bows out, and politics becomes exciting to the masses again.
I’m not sure what Manchinian means. Could the writer have meant Manichæan? Key paragraphs:
[ZeroHedge] Joe Biden abdicating his position as the 2024 democratic nominee marks the first time that an incumbent will not seek re-election since fellow democrat Lyndon Baines Johnson in 1968. Coincidentally, 1968 also marks the last time there was an assassination attempt on the presumptive favorite going into a presidential election. While Robert F. Kennedy was murdered unlike Donald J. Trump, the historical parallels from 1968 put the Democratic Party at a similar watershed moment in their history.
However, those historical parallels aren't confined to 1968 alone. The crossroads that democrats find themselves at now echoes the position the republican party found itself in during the wake of the Obama administration in which it founds itself needing to cultivate a new identity to shed itself of the stigma its previous leadership had mired it in. While the bombastic leadership of Donald Trump ushered in that sea change in 2016 by reshaping the neoconservative political platform republicans were rooted in into the direction of a populist one, the radical platform the democratic party has embedded itself in up to 2024 makes its chances of re-branding itself into something more palatable for the American electorate even more unlikely than even the unforeseen outcome of the 2016 presidential election.
Despite the proven track record of success the modus operandi moderate Democratic leadership has given its party for the better part of the last 3 decades, the direction it has gone in since 2020 makes returning to that strategy untenable. For the modern democratic voter, allegiance to policy making promoting transgenderism, DEI, and an open border has become so ingrained in their political consciousness that the party nominating a moderate candidate like Manchin would likely result in abysmal voter turnout. That reaction from Democratic voters would offset any gains it would stand to make by garnering votes from RINO voters who share liberal's obsession with doing whatever it possible to upend Donald Trump, regardless of the cost. The toll that has taken appears to finally have come due as the Democratic Party's apparent decision to double-down on the radical political platform that has been the cornerstone of a presidential administration with some of the lowest approval ratings in history by investing itself in Kamala Harris as the future of the party. That decision has snuffed out any rekindled optimism of their chances to name a candidate like Manchin who could serve as a competent adversary to Donald Trump in the wake of Joe Biden dropping out of the 2024 race.
Harris becoming the presumptive nominee doesn't just represent a capitulation for democrats in 2024 and the near future. It also represents the urgent need for the party to self-reflect and grow into something other than what it has become if it hopes to have any future at all. The challenge that exists there is that the electorate it has cultivated is so hyper-radicalized that the voting base the Democratic Party hinges on is one that is innately obstinate, refusing to even concede the most radically polarizing positions of its ideology. By fostering that impetuous political consciousness, building a more moderate Democratic Party that can act in the interest of the American public instead of its radical ideologues seems as hopeless as the party's chances heading into election day.
[JustTheNews] Because Biden dropped out before becoming the official candidate of the Democratic Party, it does make it easier to replace him than if it had been after the Democratic National Convention.
Election laws in all seven battleground states will allow Democrats to place onto ballots the name of Vice President Kamala Harris, or another candidate if one materializes.
As President Joe Biden’s supporters rally around Harris to take his spot as the party nominee, Republicans are planning legal challenges. Biden announced his decision via social media Sunday afternoon, with one month until the Aug. 19-22 Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona and Nevada are commonly-labeled swing states. Collectively, there are 93 electoral college votes among them.
No opposition to Harris emerging since Sunday's social media announcement, Democratic delegates across the country swiftly moved to align support from a primary season where voters created enough pledged delegates for Biden.
Patrick Gannon, the public information director for the North Carolina State Board of Elections, said the state’s laws will accommodate this change.
“County boards of elections [in North Carolina] start sending absentee ballots to voters who have requested them on September 6, which I believe is the earliest in the country,” Gannon said in an email to The Center Square.
He said that once the convention is held and the candidates are nominated, the ballots for North Carolina will be prepped.
“In general, our agency requests that candidate names be given to us by mid-August so that there is sufficient time to prepare, proof, and print the ballots before the September 6 distribution deadline for absentee ballots. We should be able to accommodate the Democratic convention schedule, especially since we know there is a Democratic Party line that will go on every ballot, and we are simply waiting for names to insert before ballots are printed,” he said.
North Carolina, which has 16 electoral votes, has been won by Republicans in all but two of the last 14 cycles.
The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, has promised to sue if Biden drops out.
While Marguerite Bowling, senior communications manager, told The Center Square in an email that “the team is holding off on any media requests for now,” more is likely coming from The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project.
“We have been preparing for this moment for months. Many in the media tried discrediting us. Who is laughing now? No more ‘make it up as you go’ elections. Stay tuned…,” said the Oversight Project in a statement on social media following Biden’s announcement.
Because Biden dropped out before becoming the official candidate of the Democratic Party, it does make it easier to replace him than if it had been after the Democratic National Convention.
Pennsylvania is the swing state with the most electoral votes (19) and a new candidate will have no problem being placed on the ballot, according to Matt Heckel, press secretary for the Pennsylvania Department of State.
“Under the Pennsylvania Election Code, the presidential and vice presidential nominees selected at the Democratic National Convention will appear on the general election ballot as the Democratic candidates for president and vice president,” Heckel said in an email to The Center Square. “Because the 2024 Democratic National Convention has not yet taken place, no nominees have been selected for the November ballot.”
It is the same in Wisconsin, where the Democratic Party has until 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 3, to inform the Wisconsin Election Commission of its nominated candidates for president and vice president.
Riley Vetterkind, public information officer for the Wisconsin Election Commission confirmed this information with The Center Square.
In other battleground states:
• Michigan (15 electoral college votes): The presidential candidate must be submitted within one business day of the party’s state convention or national convention, whichever is later. Ballots will be prepared beginning Sept. 6.
“Presidential candidates are certified to appear on Michigan’s general election ballot as a result of the outcome of their respective party’s nominating conventions," said a statement to The Center Square from Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and Attorney General Dana Nessel.
• Arizona (11): The Democratic candidate can be changed up until 75 days before the election, which is Aug. 22.
• Georgia (11): Candidates must be submitted 60 days prior to Election Day, which is Sept. 6.
• Nevada (six): Normally, Democrats have until the fourth Friday in July, which is July 26, to nominate their candidates. But, due to an amendment passed in September 2023, major political parties now have until the first business day in September to submit names. This year, that's Sept. 3.

/\ They threatened him and forced him out. This is a coup.
Or, they made him and Dr. Jill an offer they simply couldn't refuse. He has always performed well and been handsomely rewarded as a puppet of the Deep State. Why should his pattern alter ?
Remember the DNC, the Media, Democrat Party and the behind the scenes Puppet Masters, all constantly lied and conspired to hide the fact Biden was seriously mentally impaired for over 2+ years.
All while they ran and milked a shadow government for perversion, $$$ and used vindictive political power.
And yes, this included Kamala Harris, the US Vice President.
While you are at it. Remember, they chose to nullify over 14,465,519 votes or 87.09% democrat votes cast in 2024, at the stroke of a pen.
It's worth noting why we thought Biden would stay on the top of the ticket, to help understand what happened over the weekend. We based our bet on two facts:
1. The DNC rules committee was stacked with Biden loyalists, leaving anti-Biden Democrats without much of a mechanism to remove him from the ballot against his will (The "loophole" ZeroHedge reported on over the weekend was basically encouraging delegates to vote against Biden, but it's not clear this would have worked, as some states require their delegates to vote for their original candidate on the first ballot).
2. Joe Biden (and especially Jill Biden) had nothing to gain from Joe not running for reelection. Power is addictive, and a ~33% chance of winning in November was better than a 0% chance. Plus, unlike other former Presidents, there really wasn't anything promising for Biden to look forward to in his post-Presidential career. He and Jill couldn't expect to be lavished 7-figure Netflix and book deals.

Long ago decided to listen to the noise less and the deeds more, since the noise often tries to explain or set the "context" of the deeds, or lack thereof, in plausible lies and partial truth. They always rely on people just not thinking the real motive is possible, because after all, this is America and we don't need to worry.
