It is not clear who is on the tower or even how to determine friend or foe on that day. Bullet trajectories from the tower would be down-sloping. This is just information with no conclusion derived from it yet possible. ABN
There’s zero doubt. Two separate weapons were fired toward Trump and the Crowd. One fired 3 rounds, the other(s?) 6 or 7 depending on how many sniper rounds were fired at Crooks. This indicates a conspiracy to assassinate Trump.
Julian Assange- Crowdstrike was hired by the DNC in 2016 to investigate the suspected server hack that led to WikiLeaks publishing DNC emails. Crowdstrike attributed the hack to Russian intelligence, fueling the Russia Collusion narrative. The truth, supported by Assange and Binney, is that Seth Rich leaked the data to WikiLeaks. The DNC used Crowdstrike to fabricate a Russian intelligence connection to undermine Trump.
We are in the stage where info is coming from every direction. I am posting this because people are talking about it and it may even be true. Right now, it’s speculation. ABN
The most sinister and obvious explanation, if there was a third weapon fired, is a professional shooter was further out, backing up the dead assassin. Some say the professional sniper was on the water tower but line of sight is questionable from there. The least sinister and also obvious explanation is the other SS sniper fired a round. I read a fair amount on the third weapon and as of now do not see much substance beyond the speculation above. Even time may not tell on this one. ABN
JFK was killed in part because the Secret Service stood down. There were many other factors and perpetrators, but at the time the SS stand down was a first key to recognizing JFK had probably been murdered with the knowledge of US government or by US government. This attempt on Trump’s life has similar hallmarks. There is no way Secret Service could have missed the shooter. Besides what witnesses say about warning both police and SS ‘for two minutes’, we also can hear the shooter shooting probably the first three rounds rather inexpertly, followed almost immediately by a barrage of professional shots that ‘blew his head off’ as witnesses have described it. How could SS snipers have shot and killed the assassin so quickly and yet not have seen him before he pulled the trigger? At Dealey Plaza a similar deliberate laxity was observed by witnesses who noticed an open window at the Texas School Book Depository, something proper security would never allow or fail to respond to immediately. It will be interesting to see how this story develops. Looks like we will hear the usual ‘incompetence excuse’. Maybe they’ll throw us a bone and claimed DEI hires played a part. ABN
If this guy’s testimony is true, which it appears to be, Trump was almost certainly setup. That is a dinky venue and no way Secret Service could have overlooked such an obvious position taken by the shooter nor not responded to people pointing at him for two minutes. I am going to say no more on this until tomorrow when more is known. ABN
Central policy and money laundering have created networks that aid traffickers.
A mixture of unintended consequences and indifference has left China playing a significant role in America’s fentanyl crisis. This has become a point of heated contention between Beijing and Washington. U.S. politicians accuse China of deliberately stoking the U.S. drug crisis; China responds that it has done its part and the United States is scapegoating.
But the actual story of Chinese regulation is far more complex and messy—and shows how powerful the profit motive is and how regulatory effects can have unintended consequences. The Chinese government regulates the production and distribution of fentanyl and its precursor chemicals, but stopping the trade is a challenge. Policies aimed at boosting China’s chemical and pharmaceutical development and exports have instead created a vast cottage industry of hundreds of thousands of small chemical plants and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) manufacturers—and with it, a vast money laundering industry that takes advantage of the advanced real-time settlement capabilities of China’s banking system.

Understanding how to control fentanyl requires understanding how to make it. Fentanyl has many variants with similar sounding names that are chemically distinct but cause similar reactions in the body; the variants are merely different icing on the same cake.
Since its creation in 1959, researchers have developed at least three different manufacturing methods for fentanyl, each relying on different precursor chemicals as part of the process. Criminals have continued to adapt these processes to use a broader set of more readily available precursor chemicals—like using margarine because you’re all out of butter. The potential manufacturing methods are limitless. Criminals seeking to profit from fentanyl and governments seeking to control its supply are locked in a never-ending competition, with each new countermeasure spurring further innovation to circumvent it.
For many years, Chinese regulators attempting to uphold the country’s traditionally strict anti-drug policies faced a challenge as new variants of fentanyl emerged faster than they could be administratively added to the list of controlled substances. Between 2012 and 2015, only six new fentanyl variants emerged, but there were 63 new variants in 2016 alone. In response, the Chinese government placed all variants of fentanyl on the controlled substances list as of May 2019.
A Nepali man whose followers believe him to be a reincarnation of Buddha has been convicted of child sexual abuse, a court official said Tuesday.
Ram Bahadur Bomjan, known as “Buddha Boy” by his devotees, became famous as a teenager after followers said he could meditate motionless for months without water, food or sleep.
“The district court on Monday found Bomjan guilty of child sex abuse,” said Sikindar Kaapar, information officer at the court in Nepal’s southern town of Sarlahi.
He is expected to be sentenced next month.
Bomjon, who faces up to 14 years in prison, could not be reached for comment. His lawyer, Dilip Kumar Jha, said that there was no evidence against his client and that they would appeal the case in a higher court.
The 33-year-old guru has a devout following but has long been accused of physically and sexually assaulting his followers, and had been hiding from authorities for several years.
