News spread like wildfire yesterday of yet another assassination attempt against Trump as explosives were allegedly found in a car near the location Trump was scheduled to speak at his Long Island rally.

James Lelino:

Sources in the Nassau County Police Department just told me that “the perimeter was breached and a blue barrel was removed” from the area surrounding tonight’s Trump rally site.

Source said “During K9, doing their checks, they found an explosive device in one of the vehicles and that driver ended up running into the woods. No one saw if he had anything on him, they just saw him take off running. A lot of cars are now parking, they’re lining up on Hempstead Turnpike, just parking on the grass. Even over at Eisenhower Park, they’re just parking over there.”

Almost as quickly as the story spread, the media swooped in to debunk it as “misinformation.” Report after report came out suggesting that the paranoid Trump supporters just fell for another conspiracy theory—silly of them to take such reports seriously; after all, Trump had only experienced two assassination attempts before, so reports of a third couldn’t possibly be credible, could they? Just take a look at how aggressive and coordinated these “debunking” headlines are.

See the following from Associated Press:

Axios makes the headline about big bad Elon Musk spreading misinformation!

PBS, US News, and countless other outlets followed suit with similar narratives. But the buried lede beneath the barrage of regime-approved “misinformation” headlines is even more bizarre and potentially damning than one can possibly imagine. While the official story is now that there was no incident with “explosives,” reports have confirmed that there was indeed an incident in which a citizen was training a dog to sniff explosive devices. In its frenzy to pounce on a “debunking” opportunity, the media evidently neglected to explore the bizarre circumstance that a private citizen was training a dog to sniff explosives at an event in which President Trump was scheduled to speak.

Let’s read that again, shall we?

  • An individual who might have been training a bomb detection dog at the site “falsely reported explosives being found,” Ryder added. Police detained that person for questioning.

Rather than probing for details about this incredibly bizarre state of affairs, we’re told that the real story is that Elon Musk was spreading misinformation! What on earth makes sense about a private individual training a bomb detection dog at a site where President Trump is scheduled to speak just hours later? Was there by chance a decoy bomb being used for this training? If so, did the decoy look anything like the hoax January 6 pipe bombs? Who is this mysterious individual bomb training his dog at that location? Does he perchance have an interesting travel history in Ukraine like the previous would-be assassin?

The media exhibited zero interest in any of these key questions as it aggressively attempted to bury the story under another vapid “misinformation” headline.

Of course, it’s quite possible that this incident is just a bizarre fluke. That a random person just happened to be engaging in an innocent bomb sniffing exercise at an event where the former President, who has survived two assassination attempts, was to speak an hour later. It’s also possible that there’s more to the story. Revolver News’ Darren Beattie pointed out that the feds often run drills or training exercises concurrently with suspicious or questionable events. That way, if the bad actors are caught in the act, they have the plausible deniability of explaining their behavior as a training exercise rather than something more nefarious.

Darren Beattie:

If you look into historically suspicious events, you’ll see a pattern in which there is some kind of training exercise or drill whose subject matter almost exactly overlaps with the real life thing that allegedly happens

This allows for plausible deniability when feds are caught—it was just confusion from the exercise I’m not saying that this is what’s happened here, but its interesting to point out this pattern.

Readers might be surprised to learn this and wonder what such examples exist of major catastrophic events that also, just coincidentally, happened to have training exercises running simultaneously that very closely resemble the event in question. Given that we recently commemorated the 23rd anniversary of the tragic 9/11 terrorist attacks, it might be appropriate to note that, bizarrely, there were multiple exercises that happened to be running on that fateful day. One does not need to dig much further than Wikipedia to find several examples of such exercises. Let’s look at a few.

Vanity Fair:

BOSTON CENTER: Hi. Boston Center T.M.U. [Traffic Management Unit], we have a problem here. We have a hijacked aircraft headed towards New York, and we need you guys to, we need someone to scramble some F-16s or something up there, help us out.

POWELL: Is this real-world or exercise?

BOSTON CENTER: No, this is not an exercise, not a test.

Powell’s question—”Is this real-world or exercise?”—is heard nearly verbatim over and over on the tapes as troops funnel onto the ops floor and are briefed about the hijacking. Powell, like almost everyone in the room, first assumes the phone call is from the simulations team on hand to send “inputs”—simulated scenarios—into play for the day’s training exercise.

Remarkably, there was not one but multiple military aviation and Norad training exercises involving military aircraft, hijacked planes, and planes being flown into buildings. Indeed, one of the scenarios being tested in the exercises that day was a “traditional” simulated hijacking. Aside from these military exercises, there was an additional National Reconnaisance Office exercise that drilled a scenario of a plane crashing into a building.

AP:

WASHINGTON (AP) — In what the government describes as a bizarre coincidence, one U.S. intelligence agency was planning an exercise last Sept. 11 in which an errant aircraft would crash into one of its buildings. But the cause wasn’t terrorism — it was to be a simulated accident.

Officials at the National Reconnaissance Office based in Chantilly, Va., had scheduled an exercise that morning in which a small corporate jet would crash into one of the four towers at the agency’s headquarters building after experiencing a mechanical failure.

The agency is about four miles from the runways of Washington Dulles International Airport.

The man who ran the exercise acknowledged it was an “incredible coincidence.”

9/11 isn’t the only such event during which such coincidences involving training exercises took place. Remarkably enough, April 19th, the day of the Oklahoma City Bombing, also by chance happened to be a training day for the Oklahoma Sheriff’s Bomb Squad. The following is a relevant excerpt from the book “Oklahoma City: What the Investigation Missed and Why It Still Matters,” noting the exercise and associated anomalies.

This is all simply to establish a notable pattern and not to say anything specific about either 9/11 or Oklahoma City, each a complicated event that would require detailed treatment in its own right.

We do, however, think there is a non-negligible possibility that the infamous January 6 pipe bombs were initially planted as part of a drill or exercise to maintain plausible deniability. Our confidence threshold is not yet high enough to stake that claim, but it wouldn’t be surprising.

At any rate, there is enough strangeness surrounding this private citizen dog bomb trainer that we should at least know his name and who he is. It’s our job not to let the media simply bury it.
