Why conspire when you can wait. There seems to be no shortage of people trying to kill him without a conspiracy, and the administration has been actively fueling (and perpetuating, doing) political violence this whole fucking time.

"we need this ball room because there was just another assassination attempt." would then have a point. As is a ballroom would change nothing.

The security worked, assuming it was a real attempt, it's my understanding he still had 2 security checkpoints to get through before even seeing Trump. 2. Why would a ballroom change anything? 3. If it was normal ballroom or banquet hall there would be less controversy. It's insanely expensive and coated in gold. Never heard of "security" measures being planned for the ballroom.

Ok. You're onto something.
It lands. It occurred to me that a premeditated false flag op would require more organizational competence than the Magas have ever displayed.
Unfortunately, I'm not imagining much reaction to the Magas being in lock step when they're not supposed to be. That's been the case the whole time. I think more than half of the US doesn't care about that.

Like, if anything that seems more likely, because then everyone knows *where* the President is for any given event hosted there. Wouldn't even need to figure out if he was invited.

- Mass consolidation of both news media and social media under the control of the billionaire backers of said authoritarians

Yeah I dont actually buy it being a staged event in itself (at least, not without some genuine evidence and all I've seen is the vaguest of vibes).

The response, though...pretty hilariously coordinated.

Also, I feel like I'm losing my mind, but the WHCD has never been at the white house because it is a conflict of interest/looks bad? So if the ballroom was there...still wouldn't have had it there?

Entire point is it's distinct on this one night a year, yes?

I'm fairly sure this came out in discovery more than once, and most famously when they mistakenly invited a journalist to the warcrimes group chat. It's not surprising or illegal. But it does explain how they all come out with exactly the same words, at the same time.

People are saying “doing a Reichstag,” and…there’s a long-running debate, but historical consensus leans pretty strongly toward the Reichstag fire itself being a case of fascist opportunism and not fascist premeditation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichstag_fire#Dispute_about_Van_der_Lubbe's_role

Looking for malicious premeditation is probably just pursuing a red herring. I’m more interested in how they form their response, what they’re doing to try to shape public conversation, social media, the press.
