American Presidentials: Who -k-i-l-l-e-d- shot Cock Robin
All the birds of the air fell a-sighing and a-sobbing, when they heard the bell toll for poor Cock Robin.
There are three possible scenarios as to what actually happened with the attempted assassination at the Republican Convention which turned Donald Trump overnight from villain into the hero of American politics.
1. It happened just as they said. A youngster (who once accidentally appeared ina Black Rock commercial) casually climbed onto the roof of the building unnoticed by the agents posted inside and leisurely took a shot at the speaker with his father’s automatic assault rifle, narrowly missing his head from a distance of 150 metres, a feast which would have been challenging even for a skilled marksman with this kind of weapon. It is not entirely improbable since mal-adjusted youngsters are increasingly the norm and sometimes strike lucky, and service standards, even at the highest level of the security apparatus, are dropping across the board.
2. The Democrats, that is the government, even they didn’t outright arrange it, did at least let it happen. This is the claim of the Republican camp who insinuate that security was lax and not adequate for the situation simply because the government wanted to get rid of Trump, against whom a senile Biden stood no chance and whom they had not been able to eliminate using purely legal challenges.
3. The Republicans, or at least those who want them to win, were behind it and staged the event to boost Trump’s appeal. He sure has been milking it ever since, saying that his hand was covered in blood when evidently there wasn’t a single trace of blood on his hand after he touched his ear. Nor can a scar be distinguished on his ear after he removed his ear pad two days later. Yes, there are still images of his bloody ear and face, but they were produced separately and are not from any live stream camera.
I listened to an irate George Galloway when asked by a Muhammad Durani from Canada on his Mother Of All Talk Shows why he supported Trump by somehow suggesting he was the lesser of two evils. Evil is evil. There is no choice, really. Galloway called the idea that the event might have been staged outrageous. “I heard the bullets and I saw it with my own eyes”, he said. Upon Durani’s interjection as to whether he was there in person he said, “no, but I watched all the videos”. Exactly the testimony of people who watched planes slicing through Trade World Center towers on 911 as if they were made from butter. AI hadn’t properly come of age yet in those days, but there was no doubt: they saw it!
Now there is no question that real bullets were fired on this occasion. And somebody got killed, but it wasn’t Trump. Nobody carrying out or ordering a real or staged assassination cares about collateral damage. If anything, it makes the story more real. But was Trump’s ear really pierced? And if so, was the bullet fired from the lone shooter’s gun or was there, as indicated by a sound analysis of shots and their travel time and distances, a second shooter?
We are unlikely going to get decisive answers for quite some time. The more important question to ask on any such occasion is “Cui bono” – Who benefits? And there, all fingers point to Trump and his backers.
A failed assassination attempt did nothing for the Biden Team, but neither would a successful one have done. Either way, sympathy would have surged for Trump (as it did) and all his past ills would have been forgotten. So for the Democrats it would have been an own goal. This leaves us with option 1 and 3 above. Option 1 is not impossible or improbable, but the odds are somehow against it. Option 3, on the other hand, makes a lot of sense. The establishment wants Trump as the next president.
All that talk of him being a rebel, of him curbing military spending, of him focusing on America at home, is just that: talk. He is as safely in the pocket of the Zionist cabal and the arms industry which run America today as are the other contenders, be it Vance, Biden, Harris, or even Kennedy. In the American version of so-called democracy nobody stands a chance unless they have lots of money, and nobody gets lots of money unless he is compromised by those who give it. They are all pro-Israel at any cost.
So why Trump? Because he can be an unabashed supporter of Israel, a true Israeli president of America, as he was when he moved the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem in contravention of international agreements, and as he clearly indicated during the presidential debate when promising to help Israel “finish the job” in Gaza. Sure, Biden’s almost entire cabinet is made up of Israeli-American Jews. But the Democrat support base has some scruples borne out of its liberal, anti-totalitarian tradition. A Republican president, especially a thug like Trump, is not hampered by such sentiment. He can support genocide openly and they will cheer him on. “Make America Great Again” by promoting Greater Israel.
As the world is increasingly waking up to the true nature of Zionist occupation (be it of Palestine or of the White House), desperate times call for desperate measures. Like Netanyahu in the 51st state of America, Trump is the man for the job, sufficiently compromised personally to toe the line, and sufficiently ruthless to not give in to criticism.
We are in for a bumpy ride. The USA and Israel, joined at the hip, will rise and fall together. It’s the greatest Wild West show ever. Pray, the good guys win.
