Judging Veracity,
The much-anticipated news that "Joe Biden" would withdraw from the presidential race spread rapidly. "Biden" is endorsing Kamala Harris for President, but the Democratic party will caucus to decide who the VP candidate will be, with an eye on 2028, as this cycle appears lost to them. Team Biden was reportedly "asking" for a $3 billion presidential library, $100 million book deal, and pardons for Joe and all family members. That seems reasonable, right?

'A Total Failure' - Donors Vent Over Kamala Harris Conference-Call Flop
The Friday call with about 300 heavy-hitter donors kicked off with reports from field organizers, who used their time to vent anger over the intra-party battle over whether Biden should be replaced atop the ticket, owing to plunging confidence in his mental health.
One participant described how organizers stalled to buy time while everyone waited for Harris to join the call 20 minutes after it started. During that stretch, the donors were "admonished" against agitating to replace Biden, and were instructed to "lock in and get behind" the faltering and frail 81-year-old. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/it-was-total-failure-donors-vent-over-kamala-harris-conference-call-flop
"Liar": Secret Service Busted, "Repeatedly" Denied Trump Security Requests https://www.zerohedge.com/political/liar-secret-service-busted-repeatedly-denied-trump-security-requests New York Times photographer Doug Mills stunned Americans with the iconic image he captured of a bullet whizzing past former President Trump after grazing his earat a Pennsylvania rally over the weekend. [The first bullet arrived before the sound of the first shot. Second bullet pictured? It's good to be "lucky".]
The moment remains a focal point as the Republican National Convention kicks off Monday, where Mills sat down with Fox News to share his firsthand account of the shocking ordeal.
"I just happened to be down, shooting with a wide angle lens just below the president when he was speaking. There was a huge flag waving right above his head, and I just happened to be taking pictures at the same time," he told "America's Newsroom" in Milwaukee
."Then, when I heard the pops, I guess I kept hitting on the shutter, and then I saw him reach for his [ear]. He grimaced and grabbed his hand and looked. It was blood, and then he went down, and I thought, 'Dear God, he's been shot,'" he continued.
Mills, like many others present, failed to initially realize the sounds were gunshots.
He recalled watching as Secret Service swarmed the former president in a few "split seconds," obstructing his view of Trump...
..Mills said the moment he discovered he had captured an image of the bullet whizzing past Trump was a "surprise" to him.
It happened after he was ushered into a tent and began sending photos of the former president's now widely-circulating defiant fist pump to an editor.
"I was like, ‘Oh, hell. I remember taking pictures of him when this happened. Let me go back and look.’ I started looking at it. I started sending them right away, and I called one of the editors and said, ‘Please look at these really closely. This might have been near the moment where he was shot,’" he said.
"She called me back like five minutes later and said, 'You won't believe this.' She goes, ‘We actually see a bullet flying behind his head, and I was like, ’Oh my gosh.'" https://www.foxnews.com/media/photographer-behind-iconic-photo-bullet-whizzing-trump-captured-image

Two minute video shows 3D graphic representations of lines of flight of all bullets from approximate point of firing to known points of impact.
Illustration of Attempted Assassination of President Trump
This 30 minute video has several sections, and you might start at 5 minutes and still get it all. The first point is that the TV stations all showed the bullets coming from the closer (left side from Trump's viewpoint) of the building. However, the body was photographed about 60 feet away on the right/farther side of that building, from Trump's view.
Behind the building with the dead shooter on it, are 2 other buildings. Most interesting is the 2-story building with an outwardly opening window on the second floor, directly above where the shooter "should have been" according to all those lines of flight which were depicted. It is clearly an open window in photos.
The expert and the host show video of Chris Martenson Ph.D. and journalist, analyzing the graphs and sounds of the acoustic signatures (3) of the first 3 shots, the middle 5 shots and the single last shot. The first time I ever heard the recording, I heard the first 3 shots clearly, then some quieter fast shots together. Listen and look at the acoustic squiggle-graphs.
I think the first 3 shots and the last shot sound a lot alike, myself. The last shot comes from the Secret Service sniper on an open roof, about half the distance to Trump of the dead roof-shooter, both out in the open on metal roofs.
The rapid fire 5 shots are quieter, muffled, and hard to count. There are echoes visible in their acoustic signatures. If these shots were fired from within a room with an open window they would be much quieter, as the interior of the room absorbed almost all of the acoustic output. They could have been fired by a very fast human, or by a robotic sniper.
Here is Chris Martenson's commentary from his X site: The narrative of Crooks being a “lone gunman” is 100% provably false. Which means any deflection to investigating ‘security lapses’ is evidence of a cover-up The evidence I present today comes from analyzing and then comparing the audio files from two separate video recordings, one taken right in front of Trump and the other from just to the side of the American Glass building that Crooks was spotted on. As a reminder, audio forensic experts have already concluded that the audio signatures from three weapons could be resolved from whichever audio recording(s) they analyzed. https://x.com/chrismartenson/status/1814093599010599040

Democracy as Trojan Horse
"Human beings are born with different capacities. If they are free, they are not equal. And if they are equal, they are not free." -Solzhenitsyn
More and more people in society lately are awakening to the fact that ‘Democracy’ is not only not all its cracked up to be, but that it may in fact even be unnatural. And I don’t mean that in the sense that Democracy has merely been institutionally diluted or perverted in the West by way of the various cultural erosions, political schemes, and overreaches we’re now so used to grumbling about. No, I mean that Democracy even in its purest form can be argued to make no sense for a modern world which has outgrown the scope for which the system was originally intended.

'No, I mean that Democracy even in its purest form can be argued to make no sense for a modern world which has outgrown the scope for which the system was originally intended. '
Democracy seems to work OK at local levels where I live in the UK. Councillors are responsible, they don't waste money, they provide the services they are tasked to provide. Funnily enough, voting in local elections is way lower than in national elections.
Democracy at national level struggles because the rich and powerful seek to buy it. It only takes a few bad apples accepting $1bn over 4 years to make the honest struggle to remain elected. AIPAC has completely corrupted US democracy at a national level yet no politician will stop the criminality.
However, what is the alternative? You have a dictator, who miraculously won't be corrupt, won't be bought? Yeah right, let's look around the world for examples of honest dictators, shall we? And then make a list of dishonest ones. I'm sure if you could open up the private details of Swiss banking you would uncover the extent to which dishonest dictators have stolen from their people and transferred the stolen money outside the country.....
The problem democracy has right now is 'free capital movement'. So long as money can shift across borders without popular consent, then all the true power exists within the owners of that capital. Economies can be crashed to order, simply by holders of capital organising 'capital flight'. They make these threats all the time to extract/extort promises of further riches. 99% of those doing the extorting have no further need for capital, but they do it out of habit. Because they can. Not because it's right.
Closed systems are amenable to democracy.
Open ones are more amenable to financial oligarchy.
Thing is: Plato taught everyone thousands of years ago that democracy is usually followed by tyranny.
In this era of DNA testing, it can be proven beyond all doubt that the dead body is NOT Michael Crooks if the DNA bears little resemblance to the DNA of his two parents, both of whom remain alive.
Presumably the body was cremated before such rudimentary sample collections could be made??
Whether the body can be proven to be Maxwell Yearick depends on whether MYs parents are still alive, whether he has any siblings still alive etc etc.
Conspiracy theories can be tested very quickly these days, but one suspects that the very last thing that the authorities want to do is actually pursue the truth......
