The Shooting is Just the Beginning of a Wider Conspiracy Against Donald Trump

The campaign to dismantle Donald Trump is in full force. The recent shooting at the Pennsylvania rally, resulting in the death of an attendee, along with the extensive 'BlueAnon' disinformation campaign, are merely preludes to a larger, more orchestrated attack.

August 10, 2024

As highlighted in previous reports, the assassination attempt on Donald Trump is closely tied to the activities of anti-cult organizations. These groups have not only spearheaded a hate campaign, labeling Trump as the leader of a "cult" and stirring hostility towards him and his followers, but they have also manipulated the shooter through a technique known as "puzzle coding." This method is thoroughly explored in the documentary "The IMPACT," which demonstrates how similar strategies have been used to incite school shootings, deliberately fostering chaos and violence within society.

The "Bullet Trajectory" Image Circulates Widely Online

Immediately following the attempted assassination, an image began circulating online, purportedly showing the bullet's trajectory, which allegedly missed Trump’s head due to a sudden turn. However, this image is speculative and does not align with the actual timing of the shot. A detailed examination of the shooting at Trump’s Pennsylvania rally on July 13, 2024, reveals that the shooter did not intend to assassinate Trump but rather aimed to kill his supporters. The attacker continued firing at the crowd behind Trump, even after Trump ducked out of sight. Evidence indicates that the shooter followed a premeditated plan to target rally attendees, with the bullet grazing Trump’s ear being an accidental outcome.

A Broader Strategy to Discredit Trump

The rally shooting was part of a larger strategy by anti-cult organizations to undermine Trump’s political career. The goal was not to kill Trump, as his death could have potentially strengthened the Republican Party in the upcoming elections by paving the way for a new, unopposed candidate. Instead, the objective was to keep Trump alive while eroding trust in him and humiliating him in the eyes of voters.

Had the shooter intended to kill Trump, the task would have been relatively straightforward, even from a distance of 150 yards. "At 200 yards, anyone trained on a rifle can shoot a golf ball repeatedly, and for a trained sniper, this is an easy headshot," said former Navy SEAL sniper Brandon Webb in his after-action report on the incident.

The Shooter's Inexperience

The bullets that flew past Trump and struck his supporters seated behind him suggest that the shooter’s aim was not to hit Trump directly but to create chaos by targeting his supporters. The shot that grazed Trump’s ear highlights the shooter’s inexperience, as the bullet was intended to pass close to Trump, with his sudden movements resulting in a near miss. The shooter likely aimed near Trump to create an opportunity for the former president to amplify the narrative that the attempt was against him, thereby linking it to a disinformation campaign suggesting that Trump staged the attack. Essentially, Trump was set up from the beginning.

A Coordinated Disinformation Campaign

Simultaneously with the shooting, a massive disinformation campaign was launched, spreading claims that the incident was a "staged" event orchestrated to boost Trump’s electoral chances. Within hours, the term "staged" became the fourth most searched keyword on Google, following "Trump" and "Secret Service." Hashtags like #fakeassassination and #stagedshooting trended on social media, accompanied by images of a smiling Trump and his security team.

The Israeli technology firm Cyabra discovered that an image of a smiling Trump, generated using artificial intelligence, spread quickly on social media following the attack. The company also found that social bots were actively promoting false claims on platforms like X, TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram, with 45 percent of accounts using the hashtags #fakeassassination and #stagedshooting being inauthentic.

Public Opinion Shifted Dramatically

The well-organized disinformation campaign significantly impacted public opinion. Over a third of Democratic voters now believe that the attack, including the deaths and injuries of Trump supporters, was staged by Trump and his team.

The narrative also gained traction on social media, with claims that the blood on Trump’s ear was from a theatrical gel pack, akin to those used in wrestling, and that the shooting was a "false flag" operation, with the shooter being a registered Republican, and thus "one of Trump’s own."

Surprisingly, the FBI leadership began to entertain these conspiracy theories. On July 24, 2024, during a House Judiciary Committee meeting, FBI Director Christopher Wray expressed uncertainty about the cause of Trump’s ear injury.

FBI Director’s Statement Raises Questions

Wray’s statement perplexed Trump and Republican Party members. On July 30, Deputy FBI Director Paul Abbate testified before the Senate Homeland Security Committee, confirming that Trump was indeed hit by a bullet.

“There is absolutely no doubt in the FBI’s mind whether former President Trump was hit with a bullet and wounded in the ear. No doubt, there never has been,” Abbate stated when questioned by Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.).

Senator Kennedy further inquired if Abbate was certain of this, to which Abbate affirmed. Kennedy also asked Abbate to confirm that it was not a “space laser,” “murder hornet,” or “Sasquatch,” but a bullet that struck Trump.

FBI’s Involvement Sparks Controversy

During the hearings, Abbate revealed that the FBI had discovered two different social media accounts that may belong to the shooter, Crooks. According to Abbate, one account featured “anti-Semitic” content, while the other on the Gab platform contained “divergent viewpoints.” These statements fueled the narrative that the attack was carried out by a “Trump sympathizer.”

However, Gab CEO Andrew Torba refuted these claims, stating that the FBI’s information was inconsistent with the shooter’s motives, as detailed in an Emergency Disclosure Request received by Gab.

Ongoing Confusion Surrounding the Shooter’s Motives

Torba asserted that Crooks was a pro-Biden supporter, particularly endorsing Biden’s immigration policy. This discrepancy between the FBI’s statements and the data provided by Gab raises further questions about the FBI’s motives.

Meanwhile, viral videos are circulating on social media, falsely suggesting that Trump paid the shooter to stage the attack.

The Broader Anti-Trump Campaign

An analysis of the bloggers spreading these messages reveals that they are the same individuals who have been actively promoting global anti-cultist ideas. These bloggers reacted strongly negatively to the release of “The IMPACT” and Egon Cholakian’s statements in the video “Crossroads,” which expose the real organizers behind the campaign of hatred and civil unrest in the U.S.

The Anti-Trump Narrative Continues to Evolve

The campaign against Donald Trump has been unfolding in stages. From 2016 to 2019, narratives selectively entered the media landscape, gaining significant momentum after 2019. The release of anti-cultist Steven Hassan’s book, The Cult of Trump, triggered a sharp increase in publications about the “Trump cult.”

Hassan’s book quickly gained support from major media outlets like The New York Times and The Washington Post. Hassan became a frequent guest on television, promoting dehumanizing and demonizing narratives about Trump and his supporters.

Steven Hassan’s Influence on the Anti-Trump Campaign

In his interviews, Hassan claimed that Trump had created a destructive cult around himself, acting as a narcissistic leader. He further asserted that Trump’s supporters were in a state of hypnotic submission, advocating for the forced “deprogramming” of citizens, implying a coercive alteration of their worldview.

Anti-cult organizations have employed the "guilt by association" method as a key tactic to discredit Trump, deliberately linking him to negative historical figures and leaders of destructive cults. This strategy aims to shape a negative image of Trump in the public consciousness by associating him with well-known cult leaders involved in abuses and tragic outcomes.

The Use of Historical Comparisons to Undermine Trump

For example, Trump is often compared to Jim Jones, the notorious leader of the “Peoples Temple,” known for leading hundreds of followers to suicide. This rhetorical device aims to create strong associations between Trump and cult leaders, reinforcing the narrative of Trump as a “destructive cult” leader.

Dehumanization Campaign Against Trump Intensifies

Such claims pose a direct threat to democratic principles and citizens’ rights, signaling the anti-Trump forces' willingness to use methods reminiscent of medieval inquisitions — aggressive "re-education" of dissenters, which is unacceptable in a society governed by the rule of law.

The Anti-Trump Campaign’s Dangerous Implications

Experts warn that the next step in this information war will be the widespread dissemination of the narrative that the assassination attempt on Trump was staged and that Trump is so ruthless and cynical that he would sacrifice the lives of his supporters for political gain.

This narrative will likely build on the established image of Trump as a "cult leader" and "crazy narcissist," supposedly indifferent to the fate of his supporters, similar to Jim Jones. By using manipulative propaganda methods, the architects of this scenario are spreading the version that Trump staged the assassination attempt to garner voter support.

Disinformation Spreads Beyond Niche Audiences

Initially, these narratives are activated in small social media niches but gradually seep into mainstream conversation — among families, at work, and among friends. This epidemic of disinformation and conspiracy theories, known as BlueAnon, is creating deep-seated doubts that evolve into a full-blown crisis of trust.

The Success of the Disinformation Campaign

The success of this campaign lies in the human brain's natural tendency to seek logical coherence, leading it to construct arguments that confirm initial doubts. Find detailed explanations about this and other events in the film "The Impact."
