Heritage is the author of Project 2025.

This is pretty wild. It shows both how invasive ad tracking is, how publicly available it is, and that someone who regularly visited the shooter's home and work visited DC recently:

Someone who regularly visited Crooks home and work also visited a building in Washington, DC located in Gallery Place.

This is in the same vicinity of an FBI office on June 26, 2023.

I would not be surprised if this dude was being monitored by FBI and may have had a handler. That is what the FBI does. I mean I think they are terrible but even if I didn't this behavior can be on the up and up.

What if this was an FBI op gone wrong. Like they didn't stop him like they were supposed to. Its far fetched to me but possible. If there is a FBI connection this gets even messier.

Like they didn't stop him like they were supposed to. Its far fetched to me but possible.

This already has happened. The first World Trade Center bombing that happened in 1993. The reason you no longer hear about this, was it turned out the FBI was deeply involved in setting it up. Was supposed to be a "sting that had gone wrong"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993_World_Trade_Center_bombing

Emad Salem, an FBI informant and a key witness in the trial of Ramzi Yousef, Abdul Hakim Murad, and Wali Khan Amin Shah, stated that the bomb itself was built under supervision from the FBI. During his time as an FBI informant, Salem recorded hours of telephone conversations with his FBI handlers. In tapes made after the bombing, Salem alleged that an unnamed FBI supervisor declined to move forward on a plan that would have used a "phony powder" to fool the conspirators into believing that they were working with genuine explosives.

So they let them build the real bombs and then somehow didn't intercept it.....

I know its happened before. I just mean I think it might be far fetched with the info I've seen so far. The FBI has been using patsies for years with the "war on terror". Pretty well documented. The most recent one I'm aware of is the Governor Whitmer kidnapping plot.

Typically what the FBI appears to do is find some unstable and frankly not bright individual. Target them as someone that wants to do something bad. Then they engage, advise them, and even provide them with plans in some cases. Then as the event comes close the guide them into a decision point that can be construed to intent. Then they arrest the fool and it hits the news. FBI foils terrorist plot. The FBI then gets to show they are doing something productive. This goes a long way when the funding bills come up.

If that is what was happening here the FBI screwed up. If not, then maybe they wanted him to act and their plan didn't work out. That's a dark possibility.

Its strange how immediately after the failed attempt on Trump, they feebly mentioned that they "uncovered an iranian plot to assassinate trump". What an odd thing to say 2 days after a failed attempt.....makes me wonder....

Perhaps the goal was:

Kill trump
Throw RNC convention into disarray - get Nikki Halley / Pompeo ticket
Later release info to grieving public that Crooks was working with Iranians (and paid in crypto)
Rile up nation for a way to start war against Iran

Yeah, that's possible. Also possible since it seems to be pushed by JD Vance that it could just be hyping up the threat as a signal to the MIC.

Rile up nation for a way to start war against Iran

I highly doubt that. If anything Biden has been pussyfooting around Iran rather than actually defeating them. Israel just fucked up the Houthies by blowing up all most of their oil infrastructure. Biden is too much of a pussy to even do that.

There's plenty of reasons to destroy Iran. The Biden admin has been doing everything they can do avoid "escalation".

I think people mistakenly believe these evil men motives are always for war. I think often it is only the threat of war that is required to meet their goals. Sell arms to both sides. If you think about it, all out war is more risky. Better to make it long, drawn out and expensive.

I suspect Trump will increase military spending but be less likely to start any wars. He will be a mixed bag for sure.

On another topic, the war on terror was largely a scam. When I started seeing how bad the "terrorists" were that were being stopped by the FBI something occurred to me. There aren't that many people that have the desire, skill, and means to commit these acts. No where near the number we were led to believe. Its almost like they needed to explain how they could allow such an event as 9/11 to occur by exaggerating the number of terrorists.

I remember that bombing in 1993, it could have been a lot worse but a couple explosives didn't detonate properly

It is amazing (and horrifying and creepy) that all this data is out there for anyone to get at (if they are willing to pay). I think this kind of policing is exactly why the government won’t pass laws to protect people’s privacy online. They want the data for the FBI, NSA, CIA, etc.

I don't recall where I read about it, but they definitely buy this data like everyone else. It's not spying if it's publicly available I guess.

31 sats \ 0 replies \ @DEADBEEF 22 Jul

It is a fun loophole I guess. The government probably can’t legally collect this data itself but it is perfectly fine if someone else does it and they just buy it from the data broker.

Interesting at least. You are really loving the conspiracy territory lately. Careful, you just might get labelled as a conspiracy factist.

It's fascinating. I almost posted this in ~privacy because this will be the moment the public learns how perverse surveillance capitalism is.

Good point. Crazy that a random co-worker could potentially get embroiled in an investigation regarding the assassination attempt of a former President because their phone tracked them to a farm the week before. Maybe the dude just wanted to buy some farm fresh eggs.

One would think the public would have their eyes open but I'm skeptical.

Past examples of things that should wake people up.

Snowden revelations
Black Lives Matter movement
Covid19 monitoring
Jan 6

All of these events should have opened people's eyes. They did for a few but no where near a majority.

Covid19 pretty much sealed my belief that most people aren't reachable with facts and logic. They either just trust authority of follow the crowd. Do not waste your energy trying to open their eyes. Just live a fruitful life and be an example of someone that doesn't fall for the programming and doesn't get sucked into the fear machine.

Follow news only for the aspect of knowing when the storm is coming. Stop pretending you are a part of it.

Before we go crazy about Project 2025 Heritage has been around for a long time since Reagan was President. Definitely part of Conservative Inc.

A lot of lies being spread by the left regarding Project 2025

I always confuse with Hoover Institution for some reason.

10 sats \ 0 replies \ @Bell_curve 23 Jul

Hoover is in Palo Alto near the Stanford campus

Hoover is an academic think tank Heritage is more partisan and political

Both lean right

Hoover is named after Herbert Hoover who donated his library and historic archives to Stanford

Herbert Hoover is also one of the earliest graduates of Stanford college

How overblown would it be to say.

The intelligence agencies and deep state launched an assassination attempt against the leading presidential candidate.

Nothing is black and white, but.......I think the above is more true than false.

TheWildHustle votes by stacking sats into cold storage, and sees "voting harder" as an optimal strategy for success.

I'd say it's overblown until we have more damning evidence. All that's provable right now is negligence. A "plot," so far, is circumstantial.

How come heritage access all this data of someone! Doesn't it imply a privacy breach there?

It's very interesting though! If right, that guy definitely had connections with FBI and government officials.

This is really concerning. Not only because of how invasive the ad tracking is, but how little privacy we are given anymore.

Interesting! A new dimension to crime tracking is added by it! If any of this research hold truth, people will be scarier to even search/buy for products online!!
