IS THIS FAKE NEWS?
THE FBI IS REALEASING INFORMATION THAT THOMAS CROOKS WAS AN IRANIAN CONTACT.
Thomas Crooks is now an Iranian supporter; the FBI is saying Thomas Crooks has serious ties to Iran. Yeap. that is what is going on now. Iran, side note: I got to say you pick an assassin that couldn't shoot a rifle. What kind of idiots are these Iranians. Is the FBI ready to tell us why Iran picked such a poor shot someone who failed being a part of a rifle club because his aim was incredibly bad. This is Irans choice? Really? Irans assassin is a 20-year-old guy fresh from community college is now an Iranian assassin. What did I say about this story and what they are going to do to it. There is no logic here. Will we know what happened to Thomas Crooks? I say something or someone hurt him, and he lost it. There was no idea in his head how he was going to do this. 1.5 football fields long is the distance and this guy who knew he couldn't shoot decides today he can make a shot like this without any training. I am sitting at the edge of my seat. Watch and see if they do not say he was friends with Osama Bin Laudan too. updated 08-07-2024
Here is what I have today on Iran
08-08-2024 Iran story on Trump. Why Iran? Was not JUST Trump.
Here is where we are today on this story. Some of this has been reported as fake news about Thomas Crooks. The FBI is saying that Thomas did not have offshore accounts but looks like they wish to tie this with Iran. Why Iran?
According to court documents, "Asif Merchant" the man FBI was tracking. Arrived in the U.S. in early April 2024. Just days later, he traveled from Texas to New York. Asif Merchant was arrested in July in New York after a months-long investigation into his alleged plan to hire hit men to kill American politicians.
Asif Merchant met with a person he thought would help with his alleged plan, but this individual was instead working as a confidential informant for federal investigators. Investigators said the informant later introduced Merchant to two undercover agents posing as potential hit men for hire.
FBI still are making claims about Thomas Crooks and Iran, but FBI released this information about Thomas Crooks having offshore bank accounts to Iran is totally false. This false news seems to stem from Facebook. What FBI are claiming is they found encrypted files on Crooks computer that belong to Iran they cannot break. I am having a hard time with this part of the story. Iranian encrypted files, on Thomas Crooks computer the FBI says it is Iranian. Cannot get into these files? Give them to the NSA they can hack it in seconds. Crooks seems savvy enough that he would have these on a thumb drive not on his computer. Compressed encrypted (zip Files) are full of viruses and you do not open these on your system. Don't care where they came from. Do we even know, or can it be known that these zip files were even opened? I am just saying, I just hope it isn't Iranian Porn ... the poor guy. Sorry but really. I am not trying to make a joke, but Thomas Crooks did not have this kind of skill set folks no he did not. I know we need to see more but we need real information. I wish someone would just say this guy didn't have the skills to pull this off. Someone should say we got lucky because if this guy was military Trump would have been dead dead and dead. I doubt anyone else would have died. beside the shooter. Possibly. As long as Donald Trump was in Crooks sights Donald Trump was the last guy Crooks would have been able to hit at 150yeards. I am not making a joke and am wishing Trump would give the families that had people die somewhere around a million dollars. If he cannot afford it, he should negotiate a payment schedule. This happened at his rally and if this happened at another rally with someone else and innocent people die. Someone needs to step up and help these families. And about Crooks; I feel someone should at least come out and say, "we don't know why Crooks did this, but he is no threat to America." Dumb guy who I feel lost it due to external circumstances. Those circumstances would be nice to know what happened to Crooks. Problem is if they the investigators cannot find a motive our government always makes one up.
From what I can find this Asif Merchant was not looking at just killing Trump this guy was looking for anyone he could get to with hitmen. Why the media is saying he was looking to kill Trump is a false hood he was looking to kill anyone. It doesn't look like at this time Merchant had actual targets he laid out. I do not know for sure ... Is this not strange. I mean really strange.
Christopher Wray
We do not really know if Trump was shot.
FBI Director Christopher Wray revealed during a marathon testimony on Wednesday that investigators still do not know if former President Donald Trump was grazed by a bullet or a piece of shrapnel during his attempted assassination. Twice during the hours-long session, Wray told lawmakers that the FBI was still working to determine what exactly struck the former president on his right ear during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. “My understanding is that either it [a bullet] or some shrapnel is what grazed his ear,” Wray told Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-CA).
FAKE NEWS!
Conspiracy theories about the Trump rally shooting flourish online.
Didn't TRUMP say this stuff was fake news himself, when he was president? Maybe Trump was right.
-Ron Thompson
By Ben Goggin and Brandy Zadrozny
Conspiracy theories, false claims and unsupported assertions exploded online Saturday after the assassination attempt on Donald Trump during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania.
Wild theories about the attack, ranging from speculation about who the shooter was to claims about whether or not incident was planned, quickly accumulated millions of views on social media.
With few details about what actually occurred, conspiracy theorists, political operators and social media opportunists took advantage of the open field, pushing out unverified or unsupported claims onto tech platforms that have largely stepped back from moderating posts about major political breaking news events.
On X, conspiracy theories and false information about the incidents gained traction just minutes after the incident occurred.
As video of the incident ripped across the platform, quickly accumulating millions of views, the word “staged” became the second-highest trending topic immediately after “Trump,” with over 228,000 posts on the platform using the word. In just an hour, numerous posts on X claiming the apparent shooting was staged were viewed several millions of times. There is no evidence to support any claims that the shooting was staged — Trump was visibly injured, and a spectator was killed, while another was injured.
Posts on Meta's Instagram and Threads echoed the sentiment, but to much smaller audiences.
"Antifa" also became a top trending topic on X after social media posts seemingly misidentified the gunman responsible for Saturday’s shooting.
The posts blamed a “prominent Antifa activist,” Mark Violets. Law enforcement had not publicly identified the shooter or released any information about his background as of Saturday evening.
After shootings that make national headlines — whether for jokes, to fool news media or to game the algorithm for engagement and followers — anonymous social media accounts often fill the vacuum of information with posts that misidentify the culprits.
Assassination Attempt

Here is what we know so far about the suspected gunman:
GUN BARREL IN BUSHES
The Secret Service said its agents were accompanying Trump on the golf course, when one who was securing holes ahead of Trump spotted a gun barrel in some bushes near the property line.
Multiple agents engaged the gunman and fired at least four rounds at him. The gunman then dropped his AK-47 style rifle, two backpacks, a GoPro camera and other items and fled in a black Nissan car.
Palm Beach County sheriff Ric Bradshaw said a witness managed to take a photo of the suspected gunman's car and license plate and gave it to authorities.
Police have Roth in custody. Wicked Clarity Forums Will Post as we find more for you.
Yet more violence in Politics.
When do you think the first Political Violent act was committed? As far as I can find. 1856. Did you know that political violence has been rising since 2020. In 2022 we see a huge increase upon citizens voting at the polls to political figures being assaulted. Do you think people are angry? Why? I hear so much confusion in people even leaders over any violence. "WE CANNOT HAVE THIS; WE WILL NOT TOLERATE THIS." Being a people of no tolerance but no tolerance for what you pick and choose from is one of the reasons this is happening! We have a state making the 10 commandments apart of state culture and needs this displayed in public schools. Why is this happening? Are you even alive with us if you have to ask that question.
We have been at war for over 200 years now, somewhere in the world. Our poor and homeless are increasing while the rich keep getting fat. We have been lied to about everything on the planet and no one is free. There is no freedom no peace and no love. Why do people wonder why this is happening here? -Wicked Clarity Forums
09/16/2024 update. This one is going to be entertaining at least or not. Can not say right now. Could be this is going to be a paid Russian spy assassin cell as we just announced our disapproval and threats against Russia. Maybe this guy can be Russia in retaliation. Maybe he will have offshore accounts to Cuba and Iran who knows at this point. If you know me. This guy did this all-wrong Russian spy assassin or not. He should have sold the A.K. (which they will obviously tie to Russia - Germany actually developed the A.K.) Sell all that junk buy a high voltage sound system from 1/4 of a mile away 15,000 watts and let the music play. I suggested to play Ministry, and I am pretty firm on playing Ministry. The song is on WCF music page. I never suggest interrupting anyone with load music. Especially if your just being a jerk. Respect people. A protest on the other hand? They will get you for breaking sound ordinances for sure. Probably will not even get killed unless you have and reach for a cell phone. Cops here will shoot you 50 or 60 times for that shit. Do not move! WEAPON "SHE HAS A HAMMER" Fire!
Let me think again politician and church believer why is this happening? You know I do not know why either. Just like you I am clueless.
