I’m in awe just how many journalists and alternative media members I respect, seem to buy this entire assassination narrative as the MSM tell it.
Now the Zionist Western media beginning to circulate claims that Iran was responsible for the attempt. A similar case to 9/11. Immediately after the attack, the Zionist media began circulating claims that Iran was responsible.
It’s likely that just as Mossad and CIA have done many false flag attacks to bring the US into a Middle East war with Iran, they most likely carried out an attempted assassination to bring the US into a Middle East war targeting Iran.
As I commented elsewhere, not one, but two miraculous events happened simultaneously:
- Trump turned his head at the exact moment to save his life
- A photographer snapped a photo of the bullet flying past Trump's head
If we go back to 9/11, I think it's fair to say that it would be more likely that the FBI would "find" the passport of one of the hijackers if the passport will be used in an attempt to blame the Muslim hijackers for what happened, rather than the passport miraculously surviving the plane crash. In the case of Trump assassination, I think it's fair to say that it would be more likely that a photo showing the bullet going past Trump's head would be "taken" and presented to the public if such a photo was needed as evidence that indeed there was a bullet that hit Trump's ear, rather than such a photo being taken by random chance. If there was no bullet but they had to prove that there was one, you'd expect such a photo to appear. On the other hand, if there was a bullet, you'd expect the chance of someone photographing it at just the right moment was <1%. Trump actually dodging that bullet and that photo actually being taken are two independent low-probability events. Both of them happening at the same time is less probable than each one of them happening on their own (it would be the probability of the first event multiplied by the probability of the second event). On the other hand, if dodging the bullet was fake, then it's highly likely that a fake photo of the bullet would appear, as they are no longer independent events but parts of the same event of faking the assassination.
I'd say the burden of proof that these two miracles actually happened simultaneously is on those who claim that they did happen. I don't think Trump having some blood (or liquid resembling blood) on his ear after he got up is convincing enough to start believing in such miracles. Any prosaic explanations of how this could have been faked are more likely to be true than a double miracle, especially given that the second miracle (the photo with the bullet) is conveniently used as evidence that the first miracle (Trump dodging the bullet) happened.
Great write-up Kevin. I totally agree with you, and love how you laid out the Trump buy-in. What is nuanced different with the Trump false flag is that it entails the conspiracy theorists being psyop'd with a set-up they'll see a mile away, BUT fail to properly interpret because they won't account for the fact that they themselves being psyop'd is a component of the overall bigger psyop. Hence, whether they blame team Biden or team Trump, they're not seeing the true masterminds of the meta psyop: the Zio marionetters who always finance and thus control both sides.
BTW, glad to see you used my mash-up Iwo Jima photo from my article, Taking out Donald Trump: A Tale of Two Conspiracy Theories.
The Trump incident reeks of deep state false flag psyop - stinks to high heaven! THEY now want Trump to win using the martyrdom effect to boost support for the puppet who will unhesitatingly allow Israel to 'FINISH THE JOB' the final solution in Gaza (unspeakably evil globalist machinations).
And he gets a saddled with a Vice-Puppet disgustingly embedded with the worst of the worst parasite total slavery technocrats.

I’ll take a crack at this, mostly because I am confused myself. And I am confused because I am a fan of your work and I really cannot wrap my head around your analysis here. I am also equally confounded by everyone who seems to be cheering your analysis on.
In order to determine that this is a false-flag event, you ask cui bono (who benefits)? And the answer is Trump. Ergo, the supposition is that since Trump benefitted, he must have perpetrated the event himself.
Now you have committed to a narrative that says Trump faked his own failed assassination attempt and that this failed attempt is in reality a success. You have not discussed anywhere that I have seen how he could have faked a bullet grazing his ear. Possibly he ducked down and smeared fake blood on his ear. But this is a level of speculation I find totally unconvincing.
Trump, that is, is so cunning that he faked a failed assassination attempt by having an innocent man killed, another injured, after which, he smeared fake blood on his ear. I’m not exactly saying you are saying this. But as of yet, you have not accounted for how one man is dead and another injured (in addition to Trump’s bloody ear).
Much more reasonable, in my estimation, to entertain the (almost real) hypothetical: had Trump died, who benefits? And the answer here is most certainly the Establishment, whether Democratic or Republican. So far more likely that this is a FAILED false-flag operation.
But even that is incorrect. It would only be a false-flag operation if carried out by Trump against himself; since this was hardly necessary in the aftermath of the dismal Biden debate, the risks of doing so would not be worth taking! What if he actually got shot? The only reasonable assumption is that after the failure of Russiagate, lawfare tactics, and the first Presidential debate, Trump’s ACTUAL enemies wanted him dead. Such an assumption is the simplest and in line with Ockham’s razor.
Gulf of Tonkin was a false-flag event. It was carried out by the very side that claimed to be victim of the attack and blamed on an enemy in order to do something to the enemy the perpetrators of the event otherwise couldn’t do. The Kennedy assassination was not a false-flag event. It was the Establishment forgoing any false-flag cover and going straight for the kill. The same is true of the attempted Trump assassination.
You say that “the deep state wants to cut its losses [in the Ukraine] and shift the war front from Russia to China and/or Iran, Trump is the man to do it.” You rather hyperbolically suggest, thus, that an elite (or even possibly Trump himself—this isn’t clear) wanted to stage the assassination attempt in order to ensure Trump’s election (which otherwise wasn’t completely 100% certain, though pretty close considering Biden’s debate performance) so that they (the elites) could have the all-out war scenario they crave against China and Iran. In your estimation, only Trump will send America’s deplorables off as a capable fighting force to the Gulf region, effectively shifting the theatre of war from Eastern Europe to the Middle East. That, in a rather elongated nutshell, is what this is all about.
I suppose I’ll stop there. I hope it’s sort of self-explanatory why I am not convinced.
"Much more reasonable, in my estimation, to entertain the (almost real) hypothetical: had Trump died, who benefits?"
Indeed, it can cut both ways. And like you, I am perplexed by the number of endorsements this theory, which is what it is, has mustered in the comments here.
Although I share Kevin's take on other subjects, on this issue I have to differ with him. His deterministic answer to his own cui bono question is a non sequitur as there is a more plausible answer which doesn't call for as much mental gymnastics.
It is like reading the first verse of the first chapter of a holy book. There is a god and the name of god is such and such. One is expected to accept that declaration unquestioningly as a leap of faith. Once that first, foundational leap is taken, the rest of the book is internally consistent as everything flows from believing that single declaration. It is why followers of any religious faith are called believers.
But believing is not the same as knowing something for a certainty. One could just easily have assigned some other name to god and constructed an entirely different, just as self-consistent narrative. It is how we ended up with a multiplicity of religions, each professing itself to be the sole custodian of the truth. And by implication pronouncing every other religion as an untruth. History is replete with tales of millions slaughtering one another in the names of their true gods.
So if Kevin's speculation makes sense to some, there are other speculations which make just as much sense to others. None is conclusive because no one is ever likely to have the decisive facts. Six decades on we are still trading theories about who killed JFK. What are the odds of me or anyone else successfully taking up Kevin's challenge to convince him otherwise?!
But below are the two MAJOR points in this writing that many readers may not know:
[Note to readers: I have known and have minimally associated with Dr. Kevin Barrett for almost two decades know. This is via the 9/11 Truth for World Peace Community, and the following two points constitute a very, very important step forward for Dr. Barrett which will allow his brilliance to emerge unincumbered with "problematic people" whom he has described perfectly in this writing.] YES!
1. Congratulations on finally recognizing that many of your previous "influencers in thought" have actually undermined your reasonableness and are, in the end, subversive to both you and the movements that your believe in. BIG, BIG STEP! Great work Kevin.
2. You did not call for "killing people" in the name of "stopping the killing people". Yet another HUGE STEP FORWARD. Please continue with this approach because it will allow the many, many people who WANT to support you, to be able to SUPPORT YOU!
And of course, you have this "Hollywood scripted event" EXACTLY CORRECT!
Well done Kevin...again!

PS: For the readers, I am the world's only air traffic controller speaking out regarding the "truths and facts surrounding the aviation events" before, during and after the 9/11/2001 attacks...aka...that False Flag Operation as correctly identified by Dr. Kevin Barrett. rdh
there was obviously something seriously wrong with the security setup. it was either the Dems to assassinate Trump or your scenario of Trump's false flag. Cui Bono says Trump wins hands down. On the other hand a lot could have gone wrong and Trump didn't need this to win as the Zionists already had chosen him to win. There is the possibility that there was a real hitman shooter 800 to a thousand yards away and the first shot missed because Trump turned his head. The shots following would be a spread rather than a focus at that distance. The only way to know for sure is if Trumps wound or blood was self induced. A real shot that close is not a chance Trump would take. I disagree about the Dems wouldn't allow the ongoing genocide in Gaza to complete. I am undecided on whether Sandy Hook victims happened. I believe the first bombing scene at the Boston Marathon was staged but there was an actual small second bomb where people were injured. The killed and convicted bombers were obvious patsies. There is no way one could be watching a 2 year old alone and construct 2 bombs safely.
Kevin, sadly, your explanation so far makes more sense than others I’ve heard. I ended up watching some of the first day of the RNC and nearly fell over during Sean O’Brien’s anti-corporate speech… and as badly as I want to cling to hope, the big picture does come into sharper relief when all such things are seen as political stunts to draw in voters. That was a tough act for the Democrats to follow and won’t garner much attention in the MSM, but will surely have bolstered Trump’s image as a man for the people and quietly boosted his numbers. It’s disturbing how many people truly see Trump as a savior figure and disregard all evidence to the contrary.
Incidentally I also noticed yesterday, while listening to a mainstream radio news affiliate on a road trip, multiple incongruous mentions of Iran, past Iranian plots, new threats not connected to Iran, etc., just peppered in there as suggestions. Nothing new, but the timing always means something.
This is an excellent account of the false flag scenario. I have read a few more, one from Dr. Rima Laibow, another from Gary Barnett and Andrew Anglin plus others.
As people are still gathering details of the attempted assassination on DJT--although the whole world is impatient for answers--it might be best for everyone to stay open to more facts before mentally confirming "this had to be a false flag operation!" " It is too soon!!!
Here is the latest news, by the Truth About Cancer, Ty and Charlene Bollenger's substack, with Mike Adams, and a number of amazing people who watched with their own eyes, the second sniper.
Thanks, Kevin. My ignorance astounds me. One thing that would convince me and perhaps you would be a ballistics test on the bullet, but then, with the FBI doing the test . . .
I'm not a coincidence theorist, like the media, but oh boy, oh boy, if I was...
But back here in reality, could it have been a magic bullet, with smart technology? They can drop a smart bomb from a couple miles up and come within inches of hitting a target, so why couldn't the Deep State invent a smart bullet to come within a half inch of the target, if they wanted to miss?
So, the patsi is recruited and given the gun with the smart bullets, and free access (Did they find the bullet that hit the ear?). Meanwhile, the Secret Service and Homeland Insecurity is too obese or slow (because of DEI) to climb the roof, or respond to the witness who screams, "SOMEONE IS ON THE ROOF!"
About 50 years ago I quit watching TV, and over 30 years ago I quit listening to radio. I read local newspapers until 12 years ago. Currently my only source of news comes from various independent sites on the internet, now including several Substack authors.
When I first learned about the shooting at the Trump rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday night, I could find little information, but by Sunday things were starting to come out. The story seemed pretty fishy, but I had no idea what actually took place.
The first article I read that seemed to make some sense was Kevin's "Trump Shooting: Cock-up or Conspiracy?" But I found many others considered the possibility that the whole thing was staged was a "left-wing conspiracy theory" which was being promoted by some and dismissed by many others.
Thinking back to the murder of President Kennedy in November, 1963, and the murder of Lee Harvey Oswald two days later, it seems to me that both of these events were "staged." The Secret Service men who were supposed to walk alongside the President's limousine were apparently ordered to stand aside shortly before the murder - as can be seen on video (still available on YouTube as of a couple days ago). It has been proposed that the driver of the limousine slowed or stopped during the murder, to allow several shots, then took off to the hospital. After the murder of Lee Harvey Oswald (live on TV), J. Edgar Hoover allegedly said that since there would be no need for a trial, the limousine could be cleaned and reconditioned (destroying any evidence of the crime connected to the automobile).
If these events in November of 1963 were staged, it seems obvious that not everyone involved knew about it - especially the victims.
Another thing that comes to mind: Operation Gladio, which took place in Europe after World War II, in which innocent people were randomly murdered in "terrorist attacks" that were apparently staged by intelligence agencies.
As another comment mentions, the probability of Mr. Trump having his ear grazed by a bullet seems incredibly low. But what makes me think the thing was staged more than anything else: the photo of Mr. Trump raising his fist under the U.S. flag.
Today I read that the roof of the building where the alleged shooter lodged has been "cleaned" - guess since there will be no need for a trial.
Lastly, I extend my sincere sympathy to the victims of this attack and their families (including the Crooks family).
Another photo I have seen recently claims to have "captured" the bullet buzzing past Mr. Trump's head. This reminds me of the 1946 Judy Garland film, THE HARVEY GIRLS, where Chris Maule (Ray Bolger) tells Alma (Virginia O'Brien) that "Marty Peters was just here." Alma replies: "Marty Peters? The man who shot the last blacksmith?"
Chris (the new blacksmith) says: "He, . . . he, . . . he did what?"
And Alma states: "Well, it's all based on circumstantial evidence. No one actually saw the bullet leave the gun." (above per imdb.com)
So it appears we have come a long way since 1946, where we can now photograph bullets as they zoom by!
Just now read an article titled "Conspiracy theorist Joy Reid suggests Trump's assassination attempt was staged and he was not hit by a bullet" in which she asks many of the same questions and makes many of the same observations (in a very reasonable fashion). As a result, three of the four comments ridicule her.
So it appears to me that "left-wing conspiracy theories" will be utilized by those in control to keep us from knowing the truth.
Another stroke of "good fortune" -- Fox News gladly showed a CNN clip featuring Van Jones lamenting how a vigorous Trump who survived a (magic) bullet contrasts with Biden and Joy Reid being under the weather from "covid." "A Bullet Couldn't Stop Trump, But Covid Stopped Biden" is the title.
Maybe, just maybe this was exactly what it appeared to be, an attempted assassination with a lot of rampant incompetence involved...
True, many are saying this or that about how the Secret Service for example should have handled things. However, we also know that many people in charge are now incompetent given the "woke" ideology they consistently espouse. Simply loom at the current, physical requirements for a Secret Service agent.
What may be sheer incompetence appears to provide people with enough grist to come up with alternative theories about what actually happened.
We should be cautious about connecting the dots where there may not be any...
You alluded Kevin to the deep state being the war party..war is big bucks Trump is the war guy. I think that’s it. That’s cast iron. Logically working back from that, you have either
1 Crooks was a bona fide lone shooter…who missed or
2 he was a LIHOP, probably groomed by telegram or bulletin board or whatever, with sensible insurance like a bent rifle sight or just blank ammo as you suggest.
Then again, Deep state want Trump does not mean deep state want Trump dead. Why bother going to all this hassle when Trump was already likely to win against the non opposition of Biden?
Is a false assassination Overkill by the deep state?
Or does it serve a deeper purpose? One along the lines of the war party basis you correctly identify?
In other words, the answer to cui bono is the war party.
The US is mega trillions in debt. EU and UK are also bankrupt. Whats paying when all else fails? War.
I increasingly believe this is the grand schema behind everything. A kind of djajal negative economy based on debt, fear and murder. A shadow economy for a shadow world.
“Deep State” is in a way a projection. Not saying it’s not real, but as Hakim Bey said, attack the State and you won’t find anything, just a kind of hysteresis.
This is the actual Satan.
And…back to assassination… another option again is a kind of agent of YHWH fuck you we can do this ultra hasbora stunt for the hell of it.
And another again, along same lines, is a stunt that reminds Trump, whose profile of course reveals narcissistic turncoat possibilities, of what could very easily happen should he forget who’s boss and what the deal was.
Agree entirely with your dismissal of crisis actor Alex
Jones variants of conspiracy.
The violence is real. The narrative is meta.
Anyway…this comment should be a post! Thanks for getting me moving again!
Fantastically written, Dr. Barrett!
I’m in awe just how many journalists and alternative media members I respect, seem to buy this entire assassination narrative as the MSM tell it.
Now the Zionist Western media beginning to circulate claims that Iran was responsible for the attempt. A similar case to 9/11. Immediately after the attack, the Zionist media began circulating claims that Iran was responsible.
It’s likely that just as Mossad and CIA have done many false flag attacks to bring the US into a Middle East war with Iran, they most likely carried out an attempted assassination to bring the US into a Middle East war targeting Iran.
Thank you. I'm kind of surprised they didn't use an ethnically Iranian patsy ;-)
This poor kid was more accessible and has the perfect patsy appearance
As I commented elsewhere, not one, but two miraculous events happened simultaneously:
- Trump turned his head at the exact moment to save his life
- A photographer snapped a photo of the bullet flying past Trump's head
If we go back to 9/11, I think it's fair to say that it would be more likely that the FBI would "find" the passport of one of the hijackers if the passport will be used in an attempt to blame the Muslim hijackers for what happened, rather than the passport miraculously surviving the plane crash. In the case of Trump assassination, I think it's fair to say that it would be more likely that a photo showing the bullet going past Trump's head would be "taken" and presented to the public if such a photo was needed as evidence that indeed there was a bullet that hit Trump's ear, rather than such a photo being taken by random chance. If there was no bullet but they had to prove that there was one, you'd expect such a photo to appear. On the other hand, if there was a bullet, you'd expect the chance of someone photographing it at just the right moment was <1%. Trump actually dodging that bullet and that photo actually being taken are two independent low-probability events. Both of them happening at the same time is less probable than each one of them happening on their own (it would be the probability of the first event multiplied by the probability of the second event). On the other hand, if dodging the bullet was fake, then it's highly likely that a fake photo of the bullet would appear, as they are no longer independent events but parts of the same event of faking the assassination.
I'd say the burden of proof that these two miracles actually happened simultaneously is on those who claim that they did happen. I don't think Trump having some blood (or liquid resembling blood) on his ear after he got up is convincing enough to start believing in such miracles. Any prosaic explanations of how this could have been faked are more likely to be true than a double miracle, especially given that the second miracle (the photo with the bullet) is conveniently used as evidence that the first miracle (Trump dodging the bullet) happened.
Great write-up Kevin. I totally agree with you, and love how you laid out the Trump buy-in. What is nuanced different with the Trump false flag is that it entails the conspiracy theorists being psyop'd with a set-up they'll see a mile away, BUT fail to properly interpret because they won't account for the fact that they themselves being psyop'd is a component of the overall bigger psyop. Hence, whether they blame team Biden or team Trump, they're not seeing the true masterminds of the meta psyop: the Zio marionetters who always finance and thus control both sides.

A vast majority of so-called leaders and Public 'Serpents' around the world have been bribed, blackmailed/coerced into serving the interests of their technocratic New World Ordure parasite masters and not We the People.
GREED is behind every evil assailing us in the world!
The demonic despots of Davos at it again! They are behind everything bad! At it for decades and cronies like The Rothschilds and the Black Nobility and The Khazarian Mafia have been plotting planetary domination for centuries! ALL BECAUSE OF AVARICE!
We the People must try harder to live by The Golden Rule, doing so would solve most problems!
THEY can't get rid of the 'useless eaters' fast enough! Mistakes were not made, it was always malice aforethought.
CLIMATE CHANGE IS AN EVEN WORSE FRAUD THAN THE PLANSCAMDEMIC! SO-CALLED GREEN TECH IS A GIGANTIC SCAM! MINING AND MANUFACTURING 'GREEN' PRODUCTS NEEDS COAL, GAS AND OIL AND MINING RARE MINERALS IS MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY TOXIC AND DESTRUCTIVE THAN LEGACY PRODUCTS. SCREW YOUR DAMNED AGENDA! https://climateviewer.com
Migrant/Entrant Invasion/Infrastructure Attacks - all part of the destructive plot to achieve total slavery!
Apoplectic livid rage hardly describes the intensity of emotions I have had and am having over what these malignant globalists are perpetrating!
There is no noxious crime that the evildoers desiring to lord it over us won't commit to maintain their stranglehold on power. A groundswell critical mass resistance to their murderous enslavement plans is needed urgently!
Creative performing arts, fine arts and literary arts are the best part of being human and the thing the globalist predator technocrat megalomaniac total slavery control freaks most want to destroy.
Too many 'sheeple' are brainwashed to blindly obey authority figures on the media or in daily life in corrupt system ruled by control freak psychopaths who use propaganda lies to enslave their subjects and they are dumbed down to be obedient by 'education' institutions. Fortunately I was raised to question everything. This transcends party lines. We need a system that punishes psychopaths and rewards compassion and sharing, we need a system that actually follows The Constitution in reality.
I DO NOT COMPLY! NEVER HAVE, NEVER WILL!
There is a fate worse than death - I would rather die than be a robotized slave of technocratic overlords! This is my hill to die on!
I have a landline and a wired laptop and a wired monitor screen, all the tech anyone should ever want or need. I never had and refuse to ever have one of those infernal mobile devices that are designed to enslave you.
My loathing of AI and all things NANO and digital knows no bounds!
Kudos to Kevin Barrett's heroic efforts and success in the struggle. We the People must always be aware of the existential threats lurking behind this fight!
How I stick my thumb in the eyes of the grotesque billionaire bastards pushing their enslavement agenda and how I embrace being fully human.
Fighting the globalist predator technocrat psychopath megalomaniac TOTAL SLAVERY AGENDA one performance at a time!
Amazing Amy: Eccentric Yoga Entertainer!
As an entertainer, I have been devastated and practically destroyed by the closure of all performance venues and then when they reopened, because MY BODY, MY CHOICE - being made a total untermenschen pariah outcast in NAZI NIGHTMARE LAWLESS 'SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS' JAB CROW APARTHEID/DISCRIMINATION/SEGREGATION HELL NYC WHERE THE MAD/DRUNK WITH POWER TYRANT POLS DOUBLE DOWN ON THEIR ILLEGAL MANDATES.

They can stick their f*cking damned NANO, Digital IDs, AI, jabs and chips up their asses where the sun don't shine!
All manner of lies and propaganda spew forth from the upper echelons in governments worldwide who are completely intertwined with the global criminal ruling class that wants to commit the worst atrocities imaginable and suffer no consequences. And their corruption slithers down the chain of command creating petty tyrants everywhere.

We the People are facing HORRIFYING TECHNOCRATIC PSYCHOPATHY TO DESTROY HUMANITY AND ALL NATURAL LIFE!
It was NEVER about health! The Powers That Should Not Be were ALWAYS about they want you DEAD or a SLAVE! This is a painful truth to accept but we the people must wake up and fight back!
We must never lose sight of the larger picture of the vile malignance we are fighting against.
There is an insidious global ruling class plot to enslave all life on earth behind all the madness and suffering inflicted on We the People.

Other than getting rid of nuclear weapons which I support 100% the rest of the anti-nuclear peace movement and CLIMATE CRISIS propaganda is parroting UN utter GARBAGE, a complete surrender to the ENSLAVEMENT AGENDA by the diabolical despots of Davos - ruling class criminals who lust for total power and control and all of whom should be tried and jailed for life and their malign organizations dismantled: the UN, the WEF, the IMF, the WHO, the BIS, NATO, Blackrock, Vanguard, The Rockefellers, the Rothschilds, The Bilderbergers, the CFR et al.
There is an evil predator globalist technocratic elite agenda of eugenics/depopulation/genocide using bioweapon poison jabs, war, geoengineering, EMF radiation, starvation and economic collapse - THE GREAT RESET/AGENDA 2030/4TH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION to get rid of billions of 'useless eaters' and to use nano tech to turn the survivors into ROBOTIZED COMPLIANT SLAVES! WAKE UP AND RESIST! DO NOT COMPLY! These are psychopath megalomaniacs who want to play god by turning all life into digitized metaverse mechanistic synthetic biology to be manipulated by their AI algorithms.

I’ll take a crack at this, mostly because I am confused myself. And I am confused because I am a fan of your work and I really cannot wrap my head around your analysis here. I am also equally confounded by everyone who seems to be cheering your analysis on.
In order to determine that this is a false-flag event, you ask cui bono (who benefits)? And the answer is Trump. Ergo, the supposition is that since Trump benefitted, he must have perpetrated the event himself.
Now you have committed to a narrative that says Trump faked his own failed assassination attempt and that this failed attempt is in reality a success. You have not discussed anywhere that I have seen how he could have faked a bullet grazing his ear. Possibly he ducked down and smeared fake blood on his ear. But this is a level of speculation I find totally unconvincing.
Trump, that is, is so cunning that he faked a failed assassination attempt by having an innocent man killed, another injured, after which, he smeared fake blood on his ear. I’m not exactly saying you are saying this. But as of yet, you have not accounted for how one man is dead and another injured (in addition to Trump’s bloody ear).
Much more reasonable, in my estimation, to entertain the (almost real) hypothetical: had Trump died, who benefits? And the answer here is most certainly the Establishment, whether Democratic or Republican. So far more likely that this is a FAILED false-flag operation.
But even that is incorrect. It would only be a false-flag operation if carried out by Trump against himself; since this was hardly necessary in the aftermath of the dismal Biden debate, the risks of doing so would not be worth taking! What if he actually got shot? The only reasonable assumption is that after the failure of Russiagate, lawfare tactics, and the first Presidential debate, Trump’s ACTUAL enemies wanted him dead. Such an assumption is the simplest and in line with Ockham’s razor.
Gulf of Tonkin was a false-flag event. It was carried out by the very side that claimed to be victim of the attack and blamed on an enemy in order to do something to the enemy the perpetrators of the event otherwise couldn’t do. The Kennedy assassination was not a false-flag event. It was the Establishment forgoing any false-flag cover and going straight for the kill. The same is true of the attempted Trump assassination.
You say that “the deep state wants to cut its losses [in the Ukraine] and shift the war front from Russia to China and/or Iran, Trump is the man to do it.” You rather hyperbolically suggest, thus, that an elite (or even possibly Trump himself—this isn’t clear) wanted to stage the assassination attempt in order to ensure Trump’s election (which otherwise wasn’t completely 100% certain, though pretty close considering Biden’s debate performance) so that they (the elites) could have the all-out war scenario they crave against China and Iran. In your estimation, only Trump will send America’s deplorables off as a capable fighting force to the Gulf region, effectively shifting the theatre of war from Eastern Europe to the Middle East. That, in a rather elongated nutshell, is what this is all about.
I suppose I’ll stop there. I hope it’s sort of self-explanatory why I am not convinced.
"Much more reasonable, in my estimation, to entertain the (almost real) hypothetical: had Trump died, who benefits?"
Indeed, it can cut both ways. And like you, I am perplexed by the number of endorsements this theory, which is what it is, has mustered in the comments here.
Although I share Kevin's take on other subjects, on this issue I have to differ with him. His deterministic answer to his own cui bono question is a non sequitur as there is a more plausible answer which doesn't call for as much mental gymnastics.
It is like reading the first verse of the first chapter of a holy book. There is a god and the name of god is such and such. One is expected to accept that declaration unquestioningly as a leap of faith. Once that first, foundational leap is taken, the rest of the book is internally consistent as everything flows from believing that single declaration. It is why followers of any religious faith are called believers.
But believing is not the same as knowing something for a certainty. One could just easily have assigned some other name to god and constructed an entirely different, just as self-consistent narrative. It is how we ended up with a multiplicity of religions, each professing itself to be the sole custodian of the truth. And by implication pronouncing every other religion as an untruth. History is replete with tales of millions slaughtering one another in the names of their true gods.
So if Kevin's speculation makes sense to some, there are other speculations which make just as much sense to others. None is conclusive because no one is ever likely to have the decisive facts. Six decades on we are still trading theories about who killed JFK. What are the odds of me or anyone else successfully taking up Kevin's challenge to convince him otherwise?!
Kevin...really well done...b
But below are the two MAJOR points in this writing that many readers may not know:
[Note to readers: I have known and have minimally associated with Dr. Kevin Barrett for almost two decades know. This is via the 9/11 Truth for World Peace Community, and the following two points constitute a very, very important step forward for Dr. Barrett which will allow his brilliance to emerge unincumbered with "problematic people" whom he has described perfectly in this writing.] YES!
1. Congratulations on finally recognizing that many of your previous "influencers in thought" have actually undermined your reasonableness and are, in the end, subversive to both you and the movements that your believe in. BIG, BIG STEP! Great work Kevin.
2. You did not call for "killing people" in the name of "stopping the killing people". Yet another HUGE STEP FORWARD. Please continue with this approach because it will allow the many, many people who WANT to support you, to be able to SUPPORT YOU!
And of course, you have this "Hollywood scripted event" EXACTLY CORRECT!
Well done Kevin...again!

PS: For the readers, I am the world's only air traffic controller speaking out regarding the "truths and facts surrounding the aviation events" before, during and after the 9/11/2001 attacks...aka...that False Flag Operation as correctly identified by Dr. Kevin Barrett. rdh
Thank you, Robin! Good to hear from you, hope Seattle is treating you well. And yes, I am against killing people.
I am astonished you believe planes hit the towers.
It is a preposterous assertion to say weak metal frames can ‘go into buildings’
This is way beyond the laws of physics.
there was obviously something seriously wrong with the security setup. it was either the Dems to assassinate Trump or your scenario of Trump's false flag. Cui Bono says Trump wins hands down. On the other hand a lot could have gone wrong and Trump didn't need this to win as the Zionists already had chosen him to win. There is the possibility that there was a real hitman shooter 800 to a thousand yards away and the first shot missed because Trump turned his head. The shots following would be a spread rather than a focus at that distance. The only way to know for sure is if Trumps wound or blood was self induced. A real shot that close is not a chance Trump would take. I disagree about the Dems wouldn't allow the ongoing genocide in Gaza to complete. I am undecided on whether Sandy Hook victims happened. I believe the first bombing scene at the Boston Marathon was staged but there was an actual small second bomb where people were injured. The killed and convicted bombers were obvious patsies. There is no way one could be watching a 2 year old alone and construct 2 bombs safely.
Kevin, sadly, your explanation so far makes more sense than others I’ve heard. I ended up watching some of the first day of the RNC and nearly fell over during Sean O’Brien’s anti-corporate speech… and as badly as I want to cling to hope, the big picture does come into sharper relief when all such things are seen as political stunts to draw in voters. That was a tough act for the Democrats to follow and won’t garner much attention in the MSM, but will surely have bolstered Trump’s image as a man for the people and quietly boosted his numbers. It’s disturbing how many people truly see Trump as a savior figure and disregard all evidence to the contrary.
Incidentally I also noticed yesterday, while listening to a mainstream radio news affiliate on a road trip, multiple incongruous mentions of Iran, past Iranian plots, new threats not connected to Iran, etc., just peppered in there as suggestions. Nothing new, but the timing always means something.
This is an excellent account of the false flag scenario. I have read a few more, one from Dr. Rima Laibow, another from Gary Barnett and Andrew Anglin plus others.
As people are still gathering details of the attempted assassination on DJT--although the whole world is impatient for answers--it might be best for everyone to stay open to more facts before mentally confirming "this had to be a false flag operation!" " It is too soon!!!
Here is the latest news, by the Truth About Cancer, Ty and Charlene Bollenger's substack, with Mike Adams, and a number of amazing people who watched with their own eyes, the second sniper.

Thanks, Kevin. My ignorance astounds me. One thing that would convince me and perhaps you would be a ballistics test on the bullet, but then, with the FBI doing the test . . .
I'm not a coincidence theorist, like the media, but oh boy, oh boy, if I was...
But back here in reality, could it have been a magic bullet, with smart technology? They can drop a smart bomb from a couple miles up and come within inches of hitting a target, so why couldn't the Deep State invent a smart bullet to come within a half inch of the target, if they wanted to miss?
So, the patsi is recruited and given the gun with the smart bullets, and free access (Did they find the bullet that hit the ear?). Meanwhile, the Secret Service and Homeland Insecurity is too obese or slow (because of DEI) to climb the roof, or respond to the witness who screams, "SOMEONE IS ON THE ROOF!"
About 50 years ago I quit watching TV, and over 30 years ago I quit listening to radio. I read local newspapers until 12 years ago. Currently my only source of news comes from various independent sites on the internet, now including several Substack authors.
When I first learned about the shooting at the Trump rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday night, I could find little information, but by Sunday things were starting to come out. The story seemed pretty fishy, but I had no idea what actually took place.
The first article I read that seemed to make some sense was Kevin's "Trump Shooting: Cock-up or Conspiracy?" But I found many others considered the possibility that the whole thing was staged was a "left-wing conspiracy theory" which was being promoted by some and dismissed by many others.
Thinking back to the murder of President Kennedy in November, 1963, and the murder of Lee Harvey Oswald two days later, it seems to me that both of these events were "staged." The Secret Service men who were supposed to walk alongside the President's limousine were apparently ordered to stand aside shortly before the murder - as can be seen on video (still available on YouTube as of a couple days ago). It has been proposed that the driver of the limousine slowed or stopped during the murder, to allow several shots, then took off to the hospital. After the murder of Lee Harvey Oswald (live on TV), J. Edgar Hoover allegedly said that since there would be no need for a trial, the limousine could be cleaned and reconditioned (destroying any evidence of the crime connected to the automobile).
If these events in November of 1963 were staged, it seems obvious that not everyone involved knew about it - especially the victims.
Another thing that comes to mind: Operation Gladio, which took place in Europe after World War II, in which innocent people were randomly murdered in "terrorist attacks" that were apparently staged by intelligence agencies.
As another comment mentions, the probability of Mr. Trump having his ear grazed by a bullet seems incredibly low. But what makes me think the thing was staged more than anything else: the photo of Mr. Trump raising his fist under the U.S. flag.
Today I read that the roof of the building where the alleged shooter lodged has been "cleaned" - guess since there will be no need for a trial.
Lastly, I extend my sincere sympathy to the victims of this attack and their families (including the Crooks family).
Good points, Bill. Quitting TV 50 years ago was a good move!
Another photo I have seen recently claims to have "captured" the bullet buzzing past Mr. Trump's head. This reminds me of the 1946 Judy Garland film, THE HARVEY GIRLS, where Chris Maule (Ray Bolger) tells Alma (Virginia O'Brien) that "Marty Peters was just here." Alma replies: "Marty Peters? The man who shot the last blacksmith?"
Chris (the new blacksmith) says: "He, . . . he, . . . he did what?"
And Alma states: "Well, it's all based on circumstantial evidence. No one actually saw the bullet leave the gun." (above per imdb.com)
So it appears we have come a long way since 1946, where we can now photograph bullets as they zoom by!
Just now read an article titled "Conspiracy theorist Joy Reid suggests Trump's assassination attempt was staged and he was not hit by a bullet" in which she asks many of the same questions and makes many of the same observations (in a very reasonable fashion). As a result, three of the four comments ridicule her.
So it appears to me that "left-wing conspiracy theories" will be utilized by those in control to keep us from knowing the truth.
Another stroke of "good fortune" -- Fox News gladly showed a CNN clip featuring Van Jones lamenting how a vigorous Trump who survived a (magic) bullet contrasts with Biden and Joy Reid being under the weather from "covid." "A Bullet Couldn't Stop Trump, But Covid Stopped Biden" is the title.
Maybe, just maybe this was exactly what it appeared to be, an attempted assassination with a lot of rampant incompetence involved...
True, many are saying this or that about how the Secret Service for example should have handled things. However, we also know that many people in charge are now incompetent given the "woke" ideology they consistently espouse. Simply loom at the current, physical requirements for a Secret Service agent.
What may be sheer incompetence appears to provide people with enough grist to come up with alternative theories about what actually happened.
We should be cautious about connecting the dots where there may not be any...
Sorry I disagree. The deep state wants Trump dead. As they Platonists said, those who stare too long into the abyss become the abyss.
One faction wants Trump gone, but another faction wants to use him (like they did from 2016 to 2020).
You alluded Kevin to the deep state being the war party..war is big bucks Trump is the war guy. I think that’s it. That’s cast iron. Logically working back from that, you have either
1 Crooks was a bona fide lone shooter…who missed or
2 he was a LIHOP, probably groomed by telegram or bulletin board or whatever, with sensible insurance like a bent rifle sight or just blank ammo as you suggest.
Then again, Deep state want Trump does not mean deep state want Trump dead. Why bother going to all this hassle when Trump was already likely to win against the non opposition of Biden?
Is a false assassination Overkill by the deep state?
Or does it serve a deeper purpose? One along the lines of the war party basis you correctly identify?
In other words, the answer to cui bono is the war party.
The US is mega trillions in debt. EU and UK are also bankrupt. Whats paying when all else fails? War.
I increasingly believe this is the grand schema behind everything. A kind of djajal negative economy based on debt, fear and murder. A shadow economy for a shadow world.
“Deep State” is in a way a projection. Not saying it’s not real, but as Hakim Bey said, attack the State and you won’t find anything, just a kind of hysteresis.
This is the actual Satan.
And…back to assassination… another option again is a kind of agent of YHWH fuck you we can do this ultra hasbora stunt for the hell of it.
And another again, along same lines, is a stunt that reminds Trump, whose profile of course reveals narcissistic turncoat possibilities, of what could very easily happen should he forget who’s boss and what the deal was.
Agree entirely with your dismissal of crisis actor Alex
Jones variants of conspiracy.
The violence is real. The narrative is meta.
Anyway…this comment should be a post! Thanks for getting me moving again!
What did Trump do that set back the deep state?
