This is insane

There's even more to that timeline...The whole thing is unravelling like the magnificent yarn it is:

A company called Austin Private Wealth LLC shorted 12,000,000 shares of $DJT via a put option. The filing date is July 12th, the day before the assassination attempt.

They have around $1 Billion in assets under management and this is by far the largest put placed. According to a source the trade represents 6% of total shares and over 16%! of the float of the stock given the fact that Trump owns 60% of the company.

This is a giant bet when you consider their total AUM but wait there’s more…
To make things even more interesting, my source tipped me off with the following two images from their Bloomberg terminal.

The screenshot on the left shows the Put by Austin Private Wealth LLC, that was taken earlier this morning. It shows the 120,000 puts.

As you can see their position is by far the largest, the next closest is Citadel Advisors with 16,770.

Here is where it gets interesting, the screenshot to the right was taken later in the day and poof, Austin Private Wealth LLC is nowhere to be found. Why?
***
Austin Private Wealth released the following statement about the shorted DJT.

“Statement on Incorrect Filing with the SEC

The SEC filing which showed that Austin Private Wealth shorted a large number of shares of Trump Media & Technology Group Corp (DJT) was incorrect and we immediately amended it as soon as we learned of the error.
No client of APW holds, or has ever held, a put on DJT in the quantity initially reported. The correct holding amount was 12 contracts, or 1,200 shares— not 12 million shares, as was filed in error. In submitting the required report for the second quarter of 2024, a multiplier was applied by a third-party vendor that increased the number of the shares by a multiple of 10,000 for all options contracts (not just DJT). We did not catch the error before approving the filing. We filed the report on July 12 to reflect our positions on June 28. We amended it on July 16.”

“We deeply regret this error and the concern it has caused, especially at such a fraught moment for our nation. We are committed to full transparency and maintaining the trust of our clients. As such, we are reviewing our internal procedures and our processes with the third-party vendor that assists with SEC filings to better understand how this happened and avoid similar issues moving forward.”

So just a simple gigantic clerical oversight.

Moving along.

Cognitive Divides & Cognitive Conquers: The Schismogenetic Agenda & Anomalies in the Allegedly Failed Trump Hit

TL;DR: Let's put it his way: if a CIA shooter missed a head shot because the target moved his head at the last moment, & if his explanation to his superiors was, "It was a miracle," how do you think that would go down with them?

SAME SCENARIO WITH THE TRUMP-SHOT.

Even if the event was 100% non-staged, still, NO MIRACLE!

quote:

most curiously of all, there is a sort of complementary schismogenesis happening here. In my last post, I shared the meme about how leftist libtards are suddenly believing in psyop, now that it suits their ideological needs. What AFAIK hasn’t been remarked on is that previously parapolitically savvy, healthily skeptical researchers are suddenly believing in official facts.

So while the norms have become more paranoid, the paranoids have been normalized. Go figure.

[JackRiddler]

You could always accept that dumb lone shooter aided by accidents and fuck-ups from poorly coordinated SS and local idiots improvising security measures in a road location may not be seem likeliest to you (or to me) but is nevertheless plausible. So far I'm not seeing that this story requires magic bullets that make it implausible. That DOES NOT mean I'm telling you to go with some comforting notion of parsimony. The story still stinks, bigly.

Guru quotes some dipshit who thinks "libtard" is a word. And then makes generalizations about the reactions of the "norms" and the well-grounded "paranoids," without citing anyone in particular.

All this gross slurring (from one who decries "schismogenesis") reminds me: I never said Trump is Hitler! I only said that he plays Hitler on TV, which he does, thus labeling him the "Kayfabe Hitler."

But his VP selection did say it! Looks like Jaydee is pushing that Rhetoric of Hate.

Obviously more than anyone else he has incentives to stir up the stochastic terrorists, bigly. #lockupvance #lockupthiel

Honestly though, if the "pussy libtards" were doing more to show how Crooks was a typical American zoomer dealing with the typical American way of life, they might be better positioned to crush the fake populists on the Right...

Crooks himself worked as a cook for years at the Bethel Park Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, a nursing home formerly owned by the defunct ManorCare chain, which was considered the gold standard of nursing home care before the Carlyle Group took it over, sold off the real estate, pocketed the proceeds to pay its investors a billion-dollar dividend, and left the chain woefully understaffed and unable to care for its patients.

State health inspectors visited the Bethel Park nursing home to investigate formal complaints at least 12 times in the year before Crooks shot Donald Trump, citing the facility for, inter alia, failing to provide the state-mandated minimum of one nurse aide per 20 residents on the night shift on one-third of the nights reviewed in August 2023; causing and then failing to administer basic wound care to treat large, “foul smelling” pressure ulcers that had developed on the ankles, buttocks, and heels of three patients who were unable to move around freely; failing to clean or disinfect the rooms of recently recovered COVID-19 patients in line with their infection control protocols; failing to properly train a nursing assistant who had inadvertently rolled a resident off the bed and caused them to suffer a three-inch forehead laceration; failing to establish proper care plans within 48 hours for patients admitted to the facility with catheters, colostomy bags, and/or supplemental oxygen devices; and in June, failing to establish an adequate care plan for a patient with a broken femur and documented opioid use disorder who had somehow escaped the facility to purchase and overdose on a bag of heroin just outside the facility.

Like most nursing homes, Bethel Park has spent the past few years getting serially dumped onto new owners with fewer and fewer resources. After Carlyle’s maneuvers, ManorCare struggled to pay the ensuing $440 million rent bill, and the chain filed for bankruptcy protection in 2018. But the bankruptcy process failed to lower the rent to sustainable levels; instead, the chain’s new landlord, the real estate investment trust Welltower, facilitated the sale of ManorCare’s operations to an Ohio hospital system that went on to lose hundreds of millions of dollars trying to pay off debts.

The hospital system finally bowed out of the deal in 2022, handing over the reins of about 150 former ManorCare homes including Bethel Park to an outfit called Integra, founded by a 29-year-old entrepreneur with no apparent experience in the nursing home business, but who ultimately turned out to be a straw owner for the more experienced nursing home operator Joel Landau, who currently controls hundreds of nursing homes and is likely the biggest operator in the nursing home business. Landau also recently acquired a prison health care contractor formerly known as Corizon that he is using in part to create what Business Insider has called a “prison-to-nursing home pipeline” that promises to boost occupancy and revenues by placing lower-level criminals recruited through its prison health care contractor in its financially troubled nursing homes.

Just a few years ago, more than 200,000 nursing home residents and staffers died during the COVID-19 pandemic, a big enough statistic that nearly every politician vowed at one point or another to do something about it before summarily abandoning the effort as soon as the media moved on. Joe Biden, to his credit, adopted federal staffing minimums that Trump, who counts the nation’s nursing home magnates as some of his most loyal donors, will almost certainly repeal before they go into effect in May 2026.

Do the four Jill Biden motorcade cops take the wounded blue and red persons to Allegheny General. Does the hydraulic spray cover the escape?

Just so crazy that Jill Biden was nearby! Maybe she personally did the hypnotizing of Crooks...

He also had a detonator and explosives in his car...plus he brought his own ladder. Just cruising around with a ladder and a scoped-rifle!?


There are also conflicting reports that he had a bicycle, car, and van...Surely the FBI will clear all this up pronto.
Because the SS ain't copping to shit:

the crux of the conspiracy hypothesis is the 2 or so seconds between trump grabbing his ear and being taken down by secret service.

those who believe it is staged can reasonably claim the ear was either wounded or bloodied by the SS artificially while he was on the ground. but if there is evidence for the wound during that 2 second window prior, this claim becomes weak because you have to argue some complex method like a remote ear-piercing device activated at the time of shots, which in reality is what should have been used if this was to have been faked to really sell it.

obviously, if you accept trump did get shot in the ear, you should probably accept this was a legitimate assassination attempt.

the whole thing is further complicated by the veracity of video and photo evidence. i would imagine video and images of trump's ears, both wounded and unwounded, will start to appear over the next few months. so really, i wouldn't accept anything as evidence unless the chain of custody of the footage can be traced to an official livestream of the event archived on that day or perhaps cellphone footage posted to social media that day. even though. . .

personally, i'm going to avoid all this messiness and assume that if this was a legitimate attempt then there would need to be some kind of fallout between oligarchic power factions behind the scenes. the SS would have to be gutted and replaced with people trump and his backers trusted, which would mean not just a leadership change, but the entire SS being shifting out of homeland security into some other department controlled by the mellon/thiel faction. i know eric prince already floated the idea of a blackwater praetorian guard, and if this happened i'd absolutely believe some deep state faction tried to assassinate trump.

but what i imagine will happen is that this will be used to moderate liberal views towards trump, who will in turn moderate his own views, so that the nation is somewhat united behind someone with an extremely strong and powerful patriotic base and the aura of a wartime president, so that the US can be rallied into a hot war with either Iran or China, or probably both.

the UK have already gotten their spook into number 10 and look for australia to call an early election to get our spook peter dutton into office too, who is sitting pretty in opposition during a cost of living crisis. if dutton gets in then all the pieces are in place for an aukus war with china. war with china is impossible without australia, and australia will not go to war with china under a labor government. if australia flips that will be the window to get this done while trump and starmer are still in office. things are now being wrapped up in ukraine, putin will get his piece and blackrock theirs. the neolibs got the job done but the warmachine will still be purring.

I also think that (insofar as it matters whether it was real or not, which I think is debatable since if so it is still only warring factions of "deep state," not some David & Goliath fairy tale complete with Hand of God miracles) the best evidence to observe is not the incident itself, which as we know from JFK can be sifted through for decades without ever really concluding much, but what happens now.

If, as currently does seem to be happening, established power-interests appear to shift to DJT & he becomes the new POTUS, we can reasonably, retroactively deduce a staged event; if he gets killed before then, we can suppose it was probably for real.

Currently, I am wondering if I am seeing a sort of QAnon 2.0 emerging from formerly discerning commentators who are now validating DJT as the heroic victim/would-be-martyr of a failed plot by the real deep state bad guys they want to see thwarted. That alone to me suggests the thing was scripted, brilliantly; because if it wasn't, if it just "happened" to turn out this way, it would start to look like God really is trying to get DJT elected.

Also, if there was a genuine plot, it was highly incompetent, as evidenced by a single head move causing it to fail. Imagine the briefing by the kill-team going for the green light: "This will definitely work, Joe. Just as long as the Donald doesn't move his head!"

Seems unlikely to be anything high-level.

[JackRiddler]

All scenarios boil down to three.

1. Fucked-up man-boy with assault rifle walks on to scene, planned or otherwise, waits, shoots at Trump, misses, gets killed.

2. Faction plans to kill Trump. Fails.

3. Different faction stages failed assassination to build up Trump.

Without saying which is most likely, since I don't know, the least likely to me seems to be a serious assassination attempt by a faction (#2). Why? Because he's alive. Gimme a break, you're seeing second gunmen, penetration of the security, professionals, etc. etc., and it fails? Because "god"? It fails, but is also successfully covered up?

#3 is pretty complicated, as addressed by others above. For one thing, anyone care to argue that it would not have included Trump as the most important role-player? (Probably no one here will argue for it in any case, there seems to be a lean to #2.)

#1 is too easily disrespected. That doesn't mean I endorse it.
