 I’m very surprised and disappointed by how many Bitcoiners on here automatically turned into statist NPCs after what happened yesterday. One guy yesterday cussed at me and rage quit for asking him a question lmao. I didn’t say anything else I just asked a single question that he refused to answer because he felt that my question had some ulterior motive. A lot of these people aren’t going to make it. Question everything, always. Don’t be so quick to believe what any politician or media entity says. Anyway, tick tock next block GFY. https://image.nostr.build/a92694ac1b9c7901f57b8e83d54ce7979440f6ad77578b788ae9d1e5cb3b309a.jpg  
 I hate being put in the position where I have to defend the baffoon, but I think this level of incompetence is consistent with the incompetence already demonstrated by the people who have been crafting obvious lies to attack him for the last 8 years. 
 Who is it that you really think is incompetent? 
 Idk the Clinton, Gates, Podesta, Epstein, clique & whoever is aligned with them. They think everyone is stupid so they ceaft obvious lies (which some do believe), they murder people & don't really even try to hide it (Seth Rich killed in a robbery where nothing was stolen is written to send a message). They rape people (both kids & adults) & leave a pretty clear trail there too. They seem to think they are just untouchable mobsters & I think that makes them brazen & sloppy. They stole the democratic nomination from Bernie in favor of Hillary & lost, & then they ran Biden because they couldn't come up with an otheriwse likable candidate which has left them in their current pickel one election cycle later. 
 I would sort of take Epstein out of that list as he is more of a CIA/Mossad asset, where Clinton etc are his clients. 
 I mean, are Anderson Cooper & other CIA people not just totally in the tank for the Clintons & others? The FBI is also clearly protecting them all in some form or fashion. They put forth the idea that the laptop was Russian disinfo prior to the election. It seems like all of the above have been working against Trump. 
 Both sides are useful idiots. I think Trump caught them off guard by winning and they were in damage control in terms of narrative. Trump was a wrench but fundamentally not a threat, or he would have been off'ed in his first term. In my mind this election cycle's fuckery is just getting started. With the left's newfound disdain for Israel maybe their role will flip this cycle, where Trump's "law and order" "thin blue line" state-idolizing admirers will be more useful in supporting the martial aspects, as the left are prodded on by the media to go nuts. 
 Fair points. No one is perfect and they can make mistakes and get sloppy. However, I’d like to invite you to do a thought experiment with me. Humor me for a moment.

Pretend that trump is secretly part of the establishment. What are some benefits that the establishment would gain from him winning this election? https://image.nostr.build/0686d7f03b5d3862f85def1d791fc6735910023db302be6306234afc76c25683.jpg  
 There are a lot of boomer conservatives fully in the tank for Trump & they defend him even when he does stupid shit. And that makes him dangerous whether this is all some sort of conspiracy or not.

But I think it's more realistic to see that there are a bunch of extremely petty & narcissitic people who are all grasping for power. Many were mad that Trump kicked Epstein out of Mar-a-lago many years ago & disliked that he didn't want to climb their social ladder, so they went out of their way to insult him (Obama saying I'm something you'll never be, president), and I think that may have been enough motivation for the ego maniac Trump to want to show them up. And because Trump is not really a part of their cult, they don't have the sort of dirt on him needed for control so TDS is off the charts.

I can't imagine them all pretending to play these roles with the sort of loyalty that would be required otherwise. 
 I agree with this completely. The vitriol with which they treat Trump tells me that he isn’t playing their game. Doesn’t mean he’s a great person by any stretch, either. 
 I agree that the die hard trump fanboys are potentially dangerous. 
 Trump is absolutely a part of the establishment. There is no question about that. I think they prefer someone easier to control, but will work with what they've got. 
 I’m not outright dismissing that Trump may actually be in the establishment, but if he were, why would they go to such lengths to keep him out of office? Why would they spend his entire presidency trying to get him out? Why charge him with all those crimes?

I don’t have an opinion on whether the shooting was a conspiracy, a PR stunt, or anything else. So keeping that aside, it really feels like the establishment is greatly threatened by him. 

I’m not a Trump supporter, I try to look at everything he does objectively. Some I like, some I don’t. But the constant barage of Orange Man Bad really makes it hard to believe he’s establishment. 

Otherwise, you’re left with the conspiracy that they’re doing all this to paint him as anti establishment while he secretly is part of it. I don’t think the govt is capable of doing that to this level. All the conspiracies that seem to be true are sloppy with narratives that have tons of holes. 
 They are propping him up by making it look like they oppose him. Playing off distrust of the establishment. Everything done to him, everything said about him, is designed to push people to him. WEF theme this year is Rebuilding Trust. This is one of the tactics to bring the disillusioned back into their game. 
 Idk man, the amount of coordination needed to really pull this off would be immense. I’m not saying it’s not possible, but that’s a really, really tall order. Of course, they’ve conned us all before, but this would be pretty difficult. Especially if you were to claim the shooting was also toward that end. 
 They coordinated actually killing a president in broad day light. Never had a problem keeping that covered up. They murdered 3000 Americans on live TV. They got that shit locked down pretty good. They conspired and got the governments of the world to go covid crazy. Still waiting on prosecutions. But somehow, this is impossible to coordinate? Come on 
 JFK was killed over 50 years ago. It was a completely different time. That’s apples and oranges, as far as I’m concerned. The availability of information was a fraction of what it is now. Dissenting voices literally couldn’t get through, at least not at a scale enough to meaningfully convince people at the time. 

I firmly believe the CIA killed JFK. I’m not sure if they coordinated 9/11 and Covid or just simply took advantage of situations to help their objectives. But whether it was entirely planned/coordinated or not, all of these incidents were insanely sloppy with tons of people bringing fourth evidence that makes it clear there was at least some level of conspiracy. 
 So you see no possibility whatsoever this was an inside job? Just a random antifa clown with an AR and it all went down because of nothing but incompetence? Sure why not. And they didnt intentionally lie the past four years. The science just kept changing and everyone was always right on cue with the change. Yea just coincidences and incompetence for sure🙄 
 No dude, that’s not at all what I’m saying. I do see a possibility, I just don’t think it’s likely that they did this to prop up Trump as he’s secretly part of the establishment. I fully expect all sorts of fuckery to come out of this and for some kind of conspiracy to exist, just not the one where it’s revealed Trump is establishment. I think it’s far more likely he’s not and that this was an attack from the establishment. 

This doesn’t mean I think Trump is some hero, either. 
 Oh he's def establishment. But there isnt one cohesive 'establishment'. Just because the faces and puppets hate him, and that I believe is real, doesnt mean the puppeteers dont have a use for him. Not really saying he is aware of this, but a thin skinned narcisst is very easily manipated. And then there are his supporters who excuse all his actual crimes. Not my post, but I have been saying this since his covid crimes.

 Oh this is a great point. I could absolutely see him being manipulated by them. Trump supporters and their inability to criticize him drive me mad. 
 Yes. This is my real concern with all of it. Whatever really happened we will never know for sure. But what this will be used to justify will almost certainly not be good 
 Yup. My other fear is Trump wins and seeks vengeance and turns the US into a third world country where it’s completely normal for politicians to be murdered and a hot civil war ensues. 
 I think he's in. This sealed it. I mean I think he was always gonna be the 'winner' but this will give more support for sure. And yea, the payback attitude has me worried. Tit for tak spins out of control real quick. 
 To further clarify, I don’t think all of Covid was planned. They 100% coordinated to further their ends once it started. I think it likely leaked from a lab, and probably initially thought to be not a big deal, but they blew it up on purpose. Possibly to hurt Trump but also because they’re greedy fucking pigs. 

Similarly, I don’t think the us gov was actively involved in planning 9/11, but let things play out to further their interests. 
 These are good questions. I think it’s a good idea to look at incentives. Are people more emotionally involved now with this election? Are they more likely to follow trump even if he calls for things that are ultimately bad for us? Like martial law? More surveillance? Think of 9/11 and how it was used to add more restrictions and surveillance on citizens. 
 The double-speak is amazing. One minute the gov't is so grossly incompetent they can barely run a website. The other minute they are so subtle and crafty and smart they can orchestrate these complex conspiracies. 
 I think there are definitely conspiracies, but the conspiracies are mostly compartmentalized and/or conspiracies of ignorance among people with common financial incentives. There are some fairly smart people involved, but they are also ethically retarded & just good at creating bad incentives. They work in broad strokes, so the closer anyone gets to trying to micromanage a specific outcome the more obvious it becomes 
 Propaganda works on the target audience while it is an obvious clown show to those outside the blast zone. So I don't think it's incompetence, instead it's the nature of the technique the CIA uses to disrupt and divide countries all over the world. 
 I agree 
 You have to admit it is a big deal 
 What is a big deal? 
 It is, a life was almost taken. There’s no need for it regardless if you like the person or not. 
We’re not all going to agree on everything in life, but being able to agree to disagree on something should be part of what we strive for in a better future.
Some people just want to force their garbage down other people’s throats. 

Nothing wrong with being open minded and having a respectful conversation or discussion.

#nostr #freespeech 
 No one is condoning violence here but let’s not forget that trumps hands are stained with blood 
 So are countless of politicians, that point is irrelevant unless you plan/want to see ANY politician with “blood stained hands” dead 🤔🤷‍♂️ 
 I'm guessing you mean the surprise targeting of the Iraqui General when Trump was president? 
 I lost track of all these attacks. All the presidents do them. I was thinking specifically of the missiles he fired at Syria. 
 ahh, haven't heard of those. yes, it seems like they are all the same. I don't get it why people think one is better than the other.

unless...

they want bad to happen FASTER. Trump has buildings that house people and investments in the built domain. perhaps he doesn't destroy enough fast enough. he might have the reflex to not shoot/not destroy.

when i had a toy train as a kid, there are always the friends who want to race it off the track, and run it off the bridge, knock over the buildings. and then there are the kids that build things and add to the whole miniature world. 
 I’ve heard someone argue that the left and right are the same but the left moves faster toward the same end. 
 Agree. Violence is shit. Condoning it is silly. This is a moral dilemma with some. Some folks are blinded by so much hate for trump they see him differently, sad really. 🤷‍♂️🤝🫂 
 Hang in there bro and keep questioning 
 同样的质疑可以说,全世界那么多大国都干不掉普京

二战直接干掉希特勒不比打仗更简单吗

杀一个人可能比你想象的更难呢 nostr:nevent1qqszx768w5ne3hm757m5nrw4dagfejp7qnzxpa09gemmgscd750f9hqzypzlr9w0ljuvjujwlsjg7pg85taktdtem7470nf48xzes93u4dmzwnk5dnq 
 You are right. A lot of people are confused yet, or want attention because they are InFlUenceRs. I was also surprised a bit.  Honestly I dont give a fuck about any politician or 'current thing'. Best is just focus on our  stuff and stack sats.  
 This is the way 
 People still don’t understand that no one wants to kill a politician😂 
 It’s all a show and they keep falling for it. The president is a puppet. 
 "All the world's a stage" 
 For what it's worth, I think the shooting was real.
It simply means they were willing to sacrifice one of the puppets.
It doesn't mean they don't have fallback plans in case this scenario failed... 
 Do you think they intended to kill him? 
 They? Who is they? This is probably a lone wolf. And you are still pushing the "staged" agenda?

I used to enjoy some of your content mydood but your actions and reactions concerning the assassination attempt have made your thoughts unpalatable. 
 I am not pushing an agenda. I am asking questions because I distrust the media and politicians.

Why is it difficult for you to believe the government or some other group planned this? 
 Likely, and also for the controversy around secret service and sniper hesitation to become public.
It's a win-win, no matter the outcome. 
 If it was the swamp who tried to kill Trump, then this should be the definitive prove that equality is a failed concept.  But my gut just tells it this was just a brainwashed NPC psycho. 
 Brainwashed NPC psychos are one of the main weapons the deep state uses. So much plausible deniability.  
 Yes, but not as effective as a trained sniper or jackal.  Just glad we didn't have another magic bullet. 
 They trade effectiveness for the smoke screen. If they send a professional, he's gone, but they couldn't hide that in this environment. 
To be seen whether the next attempt is professional or not. 
 It’s possible but why didn’t secret service stop the shooters? 
 I would guess, time lag between the report to the cops and then the cops to the secret service.  From what I heard there was four minutes. 

I am also looking forward to my questions being answered too.
1) Why didn't they take Trump off stage immediately?  
2) Why didn't the secret service secure all rooftops in the area?

Definitely lots of fails, let's hope we are given answers. 
 Yeah all these things going wrong is hard for me to believe. And trumps tough patriot reaction after is too convenient. This isn’t a superhero movie. 
 It isn't hard for me to believe, I think people assume that people in power have this super control when it is really a house of cards.  As for Trump, I think it was a very foolish for him to expose himself but that is Trump. 
 Another two good one : 

              - Who hand the gun to the shooter ?
              - Do you think the shooter is paid more than 50 000$ ? (those 
                                                                    standards are always the same) 
 ??? i don't follow. 
 its always the cia 
 Remember, the consent ? 

They can't do nothing without it, so like all evil people they are, they study on how to gain it and hack it. So the shock theory come in again.

The recent one was those clearly sorcerous shots in 2020. Again to steal that consent. 

Now w this "Arrangement" farce that everyone tend to follow, its the same again. The last farce is 81 years. 

To end this. Will you consent ? 
 I don't think 'question everything' is a rational thing to do. If yoh question things that you and everyone else agrees is established facts you're just wasting your own time and everyone else's 
 Any “established fact” that can cause harm to you (if it turns out to be wrong) should be questioned. For example, it was an established fact that cholesterol causes heart attacks and that fat makes you fat. If you don’t question these “facts,” your health suffered. 
 Also no, I don't think the powerful people you're referring to can kill Trump or have him killed. That's the point of him
having Secret Service, so they can't 
 Wow so trump must have better secret service than JFK. 
 Allegedly shot close to his head 
 What is your opinion? Do you think that these 2 crazy liberals just wanted to kill trump and were acting alone? And do you believe that secret service just didn’t see the shooters that were just under 200 yards away?
