How a far-right group tried to assassinate Trump at his own event

According to investigators, the conspirators were enraged by the Trump administration’s continued alliance with Israel. Proper praised Adolf Hitler in posts on social media. Another alleged plotter, Michael Alan Thomas, 32, “indicated that he believes that the U.S. government is run by an elite group of individuals who sacrifice and consume infants who also were deeply involved with [Jeffrey] Epstein and are now protected by President Donald Trump,” an affidavit said, adding that Thomas also “places some of the responsibility of this corruption of government [on] Jewish people and blames them and Israel for the current war with Iran”.

Conspiracy Reflex Syndrome (Conspirituality podcast)

As Cole Allen sprinted into the news cycle, social media accelerated to cover the story—and the conspiracy-beast in the basement flexed his fast-twitch muscle fibers. The now third assassination attempt on Donald Trump (this time at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner) had to be staged. What else could explain it? The one time Trump shows up, an assassin is waiting for him. What are the odds? How about the guy who just calmly kept eating his salad?

A highly suspicious AI video showed a security agent’s hat morph into his hair, while another had Allen running faster than humanly possible, which fit with an elaborate story about the shooter actually being a time traveller.

We break down what happened, how quickly the conspiracy theories spread, and the cultural and political dynamics of this ubiquitous reflex.

Islamic State is primed to be thorn in the side of incoming Trump administration

One IS supporter on RocketChat brought up the assassination attempts on Trump this past summer, which he called "lazy", hypothesizing about the potential for future opportunities. 

"I believe if somebody is dedicated and smart enough he could do it," the user went on. "Intelligence and security are human, they can make a lot of mistakes … It was that easy." 

"Hopefully one of them is successful," said another user...

"This is all set up to prime his base to believe that, if his loses in November, the Democrats have once again stolen the election, that Harris is illegitimate, and they should in some respects come to his defense," said Barbara F. Walter, a professor at the University of California at San Diego and the author of "How Civil Wars Start and How to Stop Them." If his polls deteriorate in coming weeks and it looks like he may lose, she added, "he's going to ratchet up that narrative even further."…

Secret Service failures that led to Trump shooting, explained - Vox

One question that Congress should ask that could help address the Secret Service's needs — from transparency to resources — is whether the Department of Homeland Security is where it should be housed. Before the 9/11 attacks, the Secret Service was part of the Treasury Department. But since it moved to Homeland Security in 2003, people have questioned whether it receives enough scrutiny or accountability, blending into a massive bureaucracy of over 250,000 employees. 

"Are they given the right visibility in light of the importance of their job, or do they get lost day in and day out of that huge organization?" Koskinen said...

Shooter's Family ON DATABASE used by Trump Campaign

At the Republican convention: Their Lord and Savior ... and Donald Trump - The Washington Post

The speakers are playing their individual part in a convention that is unfolding with religious fervor. Theirs is not a narrative about fiery punishment but about the possibility of salvation from a near-death experience. They're focused on resurrection and rebirth. 

Trump was shot, he said, and he rose from the ground with an exhortation to "fight." The country, according to Republicans, is teetering on the edge of a fiscal, moral and demographic demise. But there's a route to the Promised Land. If Republicans can't get Jesus to take the wheel, Trump will suffice...
