I'm wondering how Ryan Routh knew Trump was going to be at the golf course that day and time.
Secret Service claims Trump was not scheduled to golf that day and were caught by surprise of his golf outing.
So, was Routh tipped off?
More questions than answers.
The girls on The View were marveling at a poll of American thoughts on political violence finding the majority found it unacceptable.
A majority? Hmm.
Maybe if we took a poll of how many want to string up all the bureaucrats from lampposts just to give the first poll a metric judge by?
If just 1% want to string them up, that's believable with a half point + or -. If 5% poll for it, the first poll is in trouble.
If 10 % are for it, the bureaucrats are in trouble.
Anyway, if I were Trump I'd eliminate that 6th hole and plow on to the seventh⁸.
It is his golf course afterall.
Cooler weather prevailing here in the PNW and the leaves are starting to fall.
Shopping bags full of tomatoes are off to the Community Kitchen today. Pulled a dozen ears of corn yesterday, but will eat or freeze them.
Have to start getting ready for winter soon. LA Nina on the way.
Thread is open.

Sorry I'm late.

And so
it begins...

Looks like there is an Israeli pager company that should probably not be in business much longer. 8 dead, 2000+ injured in Lebanon. The explosions occurred with little to no warning, and appear to have been much more violent than a "normal" lithium battery explosion- not to mention having 2000+ of them detonate essentially all at once. So, they were very probably packed with some energetic explosive.
If this is all true, it should unquestionably constitute an act of the T word, in any sort of a sane world. But, since Israel is alleged to have done this, it can't be referred to as "terrorism". Right? That would be antisemitic.

If this is true
How far behind are smartphones being rigged the same way.
You know they are working on it.
We can and do target cel phones with missiles anywhere on earth.
Thanks for the post, good catch.

Thanks for bringing that up. I saw and skipped a headline
that mentioned this occurrence, but gave no indication that it was of such a magnitude or scope. This is a definite global threat because, as earthling1 noted, they can do phones too. That means that pagers and phones except from certified trusted sources will be to be inspected by some trusted body, except that no such body exists.
be well and have a good one

Well, for what it is worth,
I have personally stripped down my iPhone15 to its bare bones (including X-rays, and as part of a work-related research project), and I can state with reasonable certainty that at least that one example of that one phone model does not contain any explosives.
Explosives detection can be done with readily available scanners: that was developed for the TSA at the dawn of their existence, and can be used to scan pallet-sized loads relatively easily. At this point, I'm looking for country-of-origin information for several instruments that I use in my daily work, and I'll have them apart on the bench soon.
The temptation for nation-states to co-opt companies in their territories has now proven to be irresistible... We live in increasingly dangerous times, and our "betters" would appear to have completely lost the plot.

As a followup:
Apparently, at least one of the pagers in question was manufactured by Gold Apollo in Taiwan. The AP-900 is a very old (1990s) design, powered by simple replaceable AAA batteries. That makes the lithium-ion-thermal-runaway explanation less likely.
https://www.trtworld.com/middle-east/ap-900-this-what-we-know-about-one-...
The question now becomes: was it the pager, or was it the batteries themselves that were doctored? This is a developing situation, and there will be more to come- undoubtedly, a *lot* more.

Thanks for that "Crazy" tune. One of my faves.

Fascinating insanity this go around
Incredibly, this story stinks even more than the Penn Close Call stank. Would-be assassins flying drones and setting up clean shots for their scoped rifles, thwarted mainly through happenstance -- the only certainty is that we live in a banana republic.
With objective reality converted into Thought Crime, we may never find out what these two separate Lee Harvey Osgoods were all about -- but paranoia is in order. Nothing is too weird to dismiss out of hand.
I cried when I wrote this song. Sue me if I play too long.
My thoughts
harken back to Oswald and Sirhan, both damaged individuals, easy prey to psyop manipulation.
I see I'm not alone.
Thanks for the post.

Possibly a benign explanation
. to the question of how Osgood II found out about Trump playing golf that day.
Sampling the flavors of bullshit on cable news, I watched a gaggle of Fox yammer-heads dissing the Secret Service account of there being nothing about the golf game on the "official" schedule. According to these Fox voices, it is supposedly common knowledge that Trump plays a round of golf there every Sunday.
Like every other smelly detail coming from these two unsuccessful attempts to rid the world of The Donald, this explanation only raises more smelly questions about these two attempted murders. Why does the Secret Service bring up the topic of the schedule? To what purpose? Ass covering?
In Post-Rational America, bullshit runs everything.

Good morning e1, et. al. A while back my landing page
at sputnik changed and it's topmost news section is now "social media" and each article has the little "telegtam" paper airplane symbol. I cannot read those.
One of the "telegram" headlines indicated that the Rus had "liberated" Ukrainsk a villiage, town or city that has been being contested for a while according to the military summary channel. I searched Ukrainsk using Yandex and then translated a promising looking article in English and found that:
I mention this because the military summary channel has previously indicated that this place, though small, is important, possibly as a gateway or something
The ukies have already been stripping units from elsewhere to reinforce Pokrosk and Kursk, so this will no doubt exacerbate that and weaken them elsewhere even further.

I get some very good
battleground info from Simplicious the Thinker, and Southfront. Karlof1's Garden of Knowledge is another info packed site.
Andrei Martyanov has a good site too. His first two books a must reads.
Thanks for stopping by.

Apparently exlensky is bringing his secret 'victory plan' to the US

this one is dedicated to the ukie nazis
Thanks

Good afternoon, e1!
Well, my office is adjacent to a community garden. The master Gardeners grow a few vegetables, and numerous varieties of flowering plants. They take pride in not using any poisons that will harm butterflies. However, they use Round Up to kill weeds in the garden's parameters.
So, a mature woman is at the garden, staring at a sign and some flowers. She appears to be talking to herself, painting the decorative sign directing you around the garden. She was wearing green and yellow floral patterned coveralls with a royal blue long sleeved sweater top. It is 96 degrees. Sunny, humid. I walked past her and she told me was feeling radiant, and did I? I answered, "Well, something similar to that."
I think Round Up does something to the brain.
I won't be buying a pager any time soon.
We may never never know if Routh is a CIA asset. I expect him to be Epsteined.
Thanks for the OT, e1!

Does anyone think these clandestine operatives
.
.
would actually come right out and admit they were trying to
assassinate someone? Especially if it has failed already 2x?
Guess Trumpet has some friends in high places, otherwise
it would never have been leaked to the 'press' about Ukie
connections.
Round-Up the spooks and (just maybe) one might radiate
some useful intelligence?
Routh could agree to
become a state's witness and walk out a free man. The bad guys know this. Especially now that DeSantis has taken over the case to be investigated and prosecuted at the state level.
A classic situation I have very personal/professional experience is when a drug mule gets arrested, drugs get confiscated. As long as he is alive, Mr. Big supplying the drugs to the mule has a concern about a sweetheart plea deal being offered to the mule, so the mule has to go. Both mules I represented were murdered, no suspect was ever found.

I don't let Roundup near my gardens
I won't even use leaves from my roof gutters in my compost pile for fear of asphalt tile contamination.
That said, they are finding a link between obesity, diabetes, and dementia.
I feel sorrow for the woman if she had that appearance.
But she did feel radiant.

So the ancient Arab land of Lebanon got hit with a sneak attack
Again? (Recalling the mysterious Beirut port explosion of 2020.)
I wonder if the Arab world will ever finally unite and respond effectively to this string of Pearl Harbors, this continous 9-elevening?
They have much patience
And sheer numbers.
The zionist kingdom will fall by its own folly.

I'm still missing some details
How was he apprehended?
How close did he get to Trump?
Did Trump get hurt again? Did anyone else?
What sort of prize does he get if he survives a third attempt? Do the Cubans send him a cigar from Fidel Castro's private selection???
Can I vote for that dead fireman from the last attempt?
Is America ready for a President with no ears!?
In the Land of the Blind, the One-Eyed Man is declared mentally ill for describing colors.
Yes Virginia, there is a Global Banking Conspiracy!
From recollection
I'm still missing some details
How was he apprehended? Pulled over by locals a county away
How close did he get to Trump? @00 yards more or less
Did Trump get hurt again? Did anyone else? Nobody hurt
be well and have a good one

I think that I can say,
without fear of contradiction, that having no ears is a requirement for that job...
well, no working ears, in any case.
