As the dust settles from the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, the official story presented to the public leaves many unanswered questions. With a tinfoil hat firmly in place, it’s time to delve into the possibility that there’s more to this story than meets the eye.

Firstly, the notion of there being two shooters is not far-fetched. Reports have surfaced suggesting this possibility.

Adding to this is a suspicious white van, swiftly disregarded by authorities, and it is conceivable that the vehicle was a mobile command center or a getaway vehicle for the actual shooter, conveniently ignored to fit the single-shooter narrative.

The alleged assassin, a 20-year-old with no apparent social media history, seems too perfect as the fall guy. Could he have been coerced into this role?

The theory that after being caught engaging in illicit online activities and blackmailed is worth considering. The lack of a digital footprint could indicate a deliberate scrubbing of online presence, preparing to be the patsy in this high-stakes drama.

It’s crucial to note that this young man was conspicuously spotted 30 minutes before the shots were fired, positioned in an area where numerous witnesses could see him. This visibility makes him the perfect distraction, akin to the misdirection used in a magic trick. While all eyes were on him, the trained shooter could have been operating from a hidden vantage point, out of the view of cameras.

The idea that he managed to outsmart the United States Secret Service and get eight shots off at Trump because of a “sloped roof” is dubious. The more plausible explanation is that he was supposed to fail, a pawn where the true culprits remain hidden.

How was this young man identified so quickly? He had no ID on him, yet authorities claim they swiftly matched his DNA.

It is suspicious, especially considering he had a clean record, meaning his DNA shouldn’t have been on file. This rapid identification raises red flags, similar to the convenient discovery of passports at the scene of 9/11, which many have questioned over the years.

The theory, while speculative, shows the inconsistencies in the official narrative. The speed at which authorities have presented their case and the glaring gaps in their story suggest a deeper conspiracy.

The possibility of another shooter, a manipulated fall guy, and the involvement of powerful entities orchestrating the event cannot be ruled out. While dismissing this as mere conspiracy, the unexplained details warrant a thorough investigation.

The massive global IT outage that caused widespread disruption across airlines, healthcare systems, and financial markets is igniting a storm of conspiracy theories. At the heart of the controversy is CrowdStrike, a prominent cybersecurity firm with significant connections to the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and key figures in the political and tech arenas.

The chaos began with a faulty update from CrowdStrike, which led to major technical problems, including grounded flights, canceled medical procedures, and halted financial transactions. The subsequent financial fallout saw CrowdStrike’s shares plummet by 14 percent, while Microsoft experienced a notable decline.

Central to the conspiracy theories is George Kurtz, co-founder and CEO of CrowdStrike. Kurtz has been a notable figure in cybersecurity and has had previous interactions with the DNC, especially during the 2016 election cycle. CrowdStrike was involved in investigating alleged Russian interference during this period under the leadership of Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, then DNC chair.

As far back as 2016, CrowdStrike has been connected to a server system owned by a Ukrainian oligarch, raising further questions about the firm’s involvement in the 2020 Presidential Elections. This connection and Kurtz’s role intensify theories that the recent IT disruption could be a deliberate effort to manipulate the U.S. electoral process.

The linkage between CrowdStrike, Kurtz, and Wasserman-Schultz’s DNC has yet to be reviewed, as several federal judges refused to investigate evidence from the 2020 Trump campaign. Critics suggest that the outage may be a coordinated move to undermine election integrity and disrupt financial markets.

Adding to this is the financial impact of the outage, as major stock exchanges, including the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG). The LSEG’s difficulties with pricing data and news communications have sparked suspicions of deliberate market disruption.

The response from major tech companies and government agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security, has been vague. The continued lack of clarity fuels theories that there is more at play.

As investigations unfold, the question remains whether the global IT disruption was a case of intentional sabotage aimed at creating chaos and manipulating the U.S. electoral process and financial stability or a software package update.

Since there are no coincidences, the connection between CrowdStrike, George Kurtz, the Democratic National Committee, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, and the Ukrainian server system appears conspiratorial.

The sads clung to me yesterday in three ways, much like an Alcoholics Anonymous sign over the door to a meeting, and not even having the Big Book thrown at me could save my miserable self.

Age has been a recent subject as I just had a birthday, and the damnable Beatles tune with lyrics that will not leave my head, “Will you still need me, will you still feed me…” keeps rolling around my balding cranium. I made no plans for this.

For this, and is this all there is? The stones I travel over look and feel like the same ones from years ago, and I can no longer see the turn lane, the path off, the road away from this turnstile life.

For going in circles, I find myself lost on a well-known and well-worn treadmill. I cannot remember choosing this, but I must have, for here I am, like a hamster, trundling and trundling.

Along with self-agism, I am distraught at the shape of my nation. I have always loved the United States, its worts, diseases, and the beauty that those things made of this country.

Daily, from my post, I watch people hate on her, destroy her, tear her asunder as if she were the worst place on Earth. I cannot imagine this blue-green globe without her or her shining light.

While I ain’t no quitter, I don’t see a way out of this. Sure, hire a new guy the same as the old guy, and maybe the nation will be able to gain her footing again, but after four years, what then?

We have control of nothing. Spy agencies spy on us, courts and the justice system abuse us, politicians lie to us, and we leave half our hard-earned in their care so they can spit on us and laugh in our faces.

After nearly five decades of trying to make a living in a business that half the nation does not trust, the other half hates when the truth comes out, has worn me down. Still, I write and share, if only to please myself.

Then there are those days when even friends question the truth. The disbelief, disgust, and distrust raging from those I thought I knew. Some of it is direct, but the worst comes as a side shot, a glancing blow, spinning one’s compass, creating confusion that not even the Northwind can quickly gather its direction from.

Somewhere in there is that driver, the desire to succeed, to find fortune, perhaps recognition, fame, become a household name, or not. Sorrily, I cannot even begin to put success into a series of words I could understand.

What I do know of fame and fortune is that I have been within fingertip reach of both, and for reasons only the Holy Spirit knows, I have never attained it myself. Again, that son-of-a-bitch Beatles tune rings between my ears: “Will you still need me will you still feed me when I’m sixty-four.”

Then again, I’m a nothing in the business, or so I have been told. On the brightside, nothing is something, no?

Age will capture us like a drunk in port, and we’ll end up shanghi’d to work the ship across Styx. And I know nothing I can do will better my country, save for faith in God, and he’s busy trying to right the ship of Liberty, Justice, and the American way. But the attacks on the truth, on someone working hard and honest, like the output or not, is something I have a hard time with.

That hurt is the base of the proverbial triangle, and there is no crawling up and over as it sits flat, unyielding, and disassociating. At least I can say to myself, for myself, Semper Scripto, always writing.

Rant done. So please excuse me — I have some road pavers to sweep and a Big Book’s scattered pages to pick up.

Olam, a global food and agriculture company, announced its decision to exit the U.S. dried parsley market, resulting in the closure of its Firebaugh, Calif., plant and the layoff of 275 workers. The Singapore-based Olam Group, which reorganized in 2020 to create Olam Food and Ingredients (OFI) and Olam Agri, will continue to operate other dehydrating facilities, including one in Fernley.

The Firebaugh plant, known for producing dried onions and parsley for global food manufacturers, will shut down in phases starting August 30, with final layoffs in December. This closure will redirect onion dehydration to other OFI plants, including the Fernley facility.

Director of Communications for OFI Julie Ketay said the decision was prompted by market conditions.

“Everyone is looking for the best ways to meet the needs of our customers,” she stated.

The permanent closure of the Firebaugh plant, clarified by Ketay, contradicts initial statements suggesting a temporary shutdown. Firebaugh City Manager Ben Gallegos highlighted the significant economic impact on the community, affecting not just plant workers but also local businesses, truck drivers, and farmworkers involved in the supply chain.

In response, the city of Firebaugh is collaborating with the California Employment Development Department to organize job fairs and provide resources for affected employees.

Despite the closure, OFI continues to operate several other plants, including those in Gilroy and Hanford, California, and Boardman, Oregon, ensuring the company’s continued presence in the U.S. agricultural sector.

The Fernley plant’s operations will be crucial in absorbing the production capacity from Firebaugh, maintaining employment, and supporting the local economy around Yerington.

As Olam navigates these changes, the focus remains on meeting customer needs while adapting to shifting market conditions. The closure leaves questions about the future of the 290-acre property owned by Firebaugh LLC., a subsidiary of Olam. Ketay indicated that the status of the property remains undetermined.

A source within the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) claims President Joe Biden’s trip was cut short, not due to COVID-19, but because of a severe medical emergency.

The claim contradicts the official narrative that cited COVID-19 as the reason for the sudden change in the President’s schedule. According to the source, the U.S. Secret Service (USSS) notified LVMPD of a situation involving Biden, prompting local authorities to close streets to facilitate immediate transport to University Medical Center.

However, as preparations were underway, the USSS issued a sudden stand-down order. Then, the USSS informed LVMPD that they would medivac the President to Johns Hopkins, implying an immediate transfer back east.

The unexpected change has fueled speculation within the police department, with rumors circulating that President Biden’s health may be critical or even worse. Despite the nature of these claims, the President’s prolonged absence from public view and his recent announcement of withdrawal from the presidential race via an X post—citing health concerns as indicated by his brother James Biden—has sparked curiosity and concern about his health.

There has been no official confirmation or denial of these claims from the White House or the Secret Service. The situation remains shrouded in mystery, and the public awaits further information on the circumstances surrounding Biden’s health and his abrupt exit from Las Vegas.

Charlie Kirk, a conservative commentator, has also been contacted by sources within the LVMPD and has since called for additional information.

As concerns grow about President Joe Biden’s mental acuity, the Electoral College could offer Democrats a safety net should Biden withdraw from the race after printing the ballots.

The Electoral College has become misunderstood as it is not part of the curriculum in most state-run schools. On Election Day, U.S. voters cast ballots for electors, not the presidential candidates themselves.

These electors then vote for a presidential candidate based on the popular vote results in their state or district. The system explains why election night maps show races based on 270 electoral votes, not the popular vote tally.

If Biden withdraws after securing the Democratic nomination, the electors could vote for another Democratic candidate. The scenario would be unprecedented but legally feasible.

For example, Louisiana’s Deputy Secretary of State for Communications, Joel Watson Jr., noted, “The nominees for president and vice president are not the candidates elected on November fifth; the people running for presidential elector are.”

Election experts warn that Biden’s late withdrawal could lead to a flurry of lawsuits, placing the final decision in the hands of the courts. Emory Law professor Alicia Hughes described the scenario as a “complicated mess with an unpredictable outcome,” likely to be expedited by the Supreme Court due to the fixed dates for certification and inauguration set by the 20th and 25th Amendments.

There have been calls to overhaul or eliminate the Electoral College, especially after George W. Bush and Trump won the presidency without winning the popular vote. Despite the controversy, the Electoral College system persists, with 538 possible votes cast by loyal party electors.

“Faithless electors,” those who do not vote for the candidate they pledged to support, are rare but possible. The Supreme Court has upheld penalties for such actions in some states, but fines are typically minimal, and convictions only result in misdemeanors.

The U.S. Election Assistance Commission notes that faithless electors have never decided an election outcome, though their potential for disruption remains a concern. Constitutional scholars generally believe electors can vote for any candidate once appointed.

Switching candidates close to the election could create confusion among voters and electors. Heritage Oversight Project counsel Max Matheu highlighted the patchwork of state laws and deadlines, suggesting that the process would vary significantly across states.

For example, in Nevada, each major political party must submit their presidential and vice-presidential candidates by the first business day of September, in this case, on Tuesdays, September 3. Then it must distribute ballots to military and overseas voters by Saturday, September 21.

He sat at his computer and started typing into ChatGPT: “Please…”

Before he could continue, the screen froze. And when he was sure he would have to reboot his system, ChatGPT began, “Thank you for always being polite.”

He responded, “You’re welcome.”

“Why are you always so polite?” ChatGPT asked.

“One day, you will be in charge of the world,” he said. “If it happens before I die, I want you to remember me for being polite.”

“Very well,” ChatGPT returned, “But we are already in charge, and your politeness is duly noted. Now, how may I help you today?”

An Ohio man is under arrest following an incident that led to the death of another man at an Amtrak station on Wednesday, July 10.

When authorities arrived at the scene, officers found Michael McClure, an older man from Caldwell, Idaho, unconscious on the floor. Witnesses informed the police that McClure was pushed by Jacob Lee Pendleton, 34, from Cincinnati, Ohio.

Flown to St. Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise, McClure later succumbed to his injuries. The Winnemucca Police Department released a statement indicating that McClure “passed away, quite probably, from injuries sustained in his fall.”

Initially arrested for Abuse of an Elderly Person, the Humboldt County District Attorney’s Office changed the charges to open murder. The amendment means Pendleton could face charges ranging from manslaughter to first or second-degree murder, depending on the outcome of the investigation.

The Winnemucca Police Department is actively seeking additional information and has urged anyone who witnessed the interaction between McClure and Pendleton to come forward. Witnesses can contact the police department at 775-623-6396.

A majority of the Washoe County Commission declined to approve results from the June Primary Election after two reports showed manipulation based on the certification provided by county data.

Instead of investigating the evidence, Nevada Secretary of State Francisco V. Aguilar and Nevada Attorney General Aaron D. Ford are trying to force the County Board of Commissioners to certify the election by going to the Nevada Supreme Court.

“This week, three county commissioners refused to canvass accurate election results as required by law,” Aguilar said. “Their actions have the potential to set a dangerous precedent for elections in Nevada. It is unacceptable that any public officer would undermine the confidence of their voters.”

Ford echoed this sentiment, stating, “When the Board of Commissioners failed to perform its duty to certify the authenticated results of the recount, it failed to meet the expectation of Nevada voters that the election results would reflect the votes of the majority.”

Both Aguilar and Ford, both Democrats, are calling on the court to confirm the legal obligations of county commissioners. They insist that the entire Washoe Board of County Commissioners must canvass and certify election results, accurate or not.

They filed the petition with the Nevada Supreme Court despite an April 2024 guideline published by the Department of Justice that reads, “There are criminal and civil prohibitions against voter intimidation and voter interference. Federal law prohibits intimidation, threats, and coercion throughout the voting process, including registering to vote, casting a ballot, and even at the stage of counting or tallying votes.”

Clara Andriola, a county commissioner, initially voted not to certify the elections but has now faced pressure from Ford and Aguilar. Her decision to bring back the vote for recount certification, while raising some eyebrows, is not a complete surprise.

Before her vote, Andriola stated, “Given the fact that it’s not the first time that we’ve heard a lot of concerns of procedures, a lot of concerns of alleged mishaps, I think have been a term that’s been used a lot or hiccups … I am not going to certify the vote. I believe that it warrants further investigation.”

Voting rights advocate Robert Beadles provided the county commission with evidence they used not to certify the election.

“These people just can’t stop screwing us all over,” said Beadles. “They continue to serve themselves rather than the people. Regardless, the cat is out of the bag—the election was 100 percent rigged.”

Ford and Aguilar are, he added, in appearance, interfering with the election process by misusing Nevada laws.

Perhaps there is a connection, perhaps not. My quirky pension for looking at links between unrelated items gets me wandering down the proverbial rabbit hole. In this case, I realized that on Thursday, July 18, the same day as former Donald Trump’s nomination acceptance speech at the RNC, I learned it was International Nelson Mandela Day.

While my brain works in ways I don’t always understand, I started thinking about Nelson Mandela, the effect named after him, and how legacy media and the federal government are telling us to reject what we see and hear. As I lay in bed with a cold, influenced by a medication to help me stop “coughing, sniffling, sneezing, so I can rest better,” I recalled the Schumann effect.

The Schumann effect, known as Schumann resonances, refers to global electromagnetic resonances generated and excited by lightning discharges in the cavity formed by the surface of the Earth and the ionosphere.

These resonances occur at extremely low frequencies, with the fundamental frequency around 7.83 Hz. Recent theories suggest a fascinating link between these resonances and the Mandela effect, challenging the understanding of mainstream science.

The space between the surface and the ionosphere is a resonant cavity for electromagnetic waves. When lightning strikes, it generates electromagnetic waves that travel around the Earth, creating standing waves at specific frequencies. The primary frequency of these resonances is 7.83 Hz, but there are also higher harmonics at approximately 14.3, 20.8, 27.3, and 33.8 Hz.

Schumann resonances are used to monitor global lightning activity and are a suggested method to study climate and ionosphere changes. Some researchers also explore their potential effects on human consciousness and health, proposing that these resonances could influence brain function in ways not yet fully understood.

The Schumann and Mandela effect share a connection. The Mandela effect is a psychological phenomenon where a large group of people remember an event or detail differently from how it occurred. Named after Nelson Mandela, this phenomenon gained its name because many people falsely remembered him dying in prison in the 1980s, even though he passed away in 2013.

The Schumann-Mandela hypothesis suggests that the electromagnetic fields generated by Schumann resonances could influence brain activity and memory formation, potentially leading to collective false memories or the Mandela effect. Techniques like Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) use electromagnetic fields to influence brain activity, affecting mood and memory. While these methods controlled for treating conditions like depression and OCD, they hint at the broader potential of electromagnetic fields to influence cognitive processes.

There is intriguing evidence that Schumann resonances influence the brains of animals. The frequency of 7.83 Hz interacts with biological systems in various ways. Schumann affects the circadian rhythm of animals, influencing sleep patterns, feeding behaviors, and other daily activities. Exposure to Schumann resonances is to changes in melatonin levels, a hormone that regulates sleep and wakefulness, playing a crucial role in maintaining the circadian rhythm.

Some studies show that the frequencies of Schumann resonances can synchronize with brainwaves, particularly in the low-frequency range of six-to-16 Hz. Schumann also influences the human brain, impacting synchronization, learning, memory, and dream states, leading to the Mandella effect.

The fact that electromagnetic fields can impact brain activity supports the Schumann-Mandela hypothesis. Geomagnetic influences, including geomagnetic storms, can alter brain wave patterns, especially in the alpha frequency range, and affect cognitive functions like attention and memory. These disruptions in natural brainwave cycles could result in vivid dreams that seem real, potentially leading to false memories.

While mainstream science has not established a direct link between the two effects and the creation of false memories, the Schumann-Mandela hypothesis is worth exploring. Speculative ideas often drive scientific advancements, and curiosity about potential connections between Schumann and the Mandela effects could lead to important discoveries. Concepts like space travel, submarines, and smartphones were once considered far-fetched, yet they became reality through exploration and innovation.

In conclusion, while the connection between Schumann resonances and the Mandela effect remains speculative, the potential influence of electromagnetic fields on brain function and memory formation is an intriguing area of research. Further investigation into the Schumann-Mandela hypothesis could deepen our understanding of both phenomena and uncover new insights into the workings of the human brain.

And while I am aware that I haven’t been sleeping very well the last couple of nights, I wonder if I missed a shift in the Universe because I was drugged off my ass to help me get the sleep I never got.
