 The Presidential candidate assassination attempt is the wildest one to me. 

Think back to how long people were riled up over 9/11, 90% support for W Bush to go on a rampage and that carried for years.

Trump news was out of the cycle within a week, within two they were changing search engines to repress results, within three the bureaucrats were saying “I know nothing” and getting zero coverage, and Trump has barely said a word about any of it. 
 It’s absolutely insane, I completely agree. It’s was like it never even happened two weeks later, with nothing meaningful ever reported on the would be shooter’s motivation or coordination w “authorities.” 

The suppression of all of these stories reinforce the need for #nostr as the powers that be will stop at nothing to ensure we live out the Orwellian dystopian nightmare of 1984. #MakeOrwellFictionAgain
