Minimal Media Coverage of Attempted Assassinations and The Dog the Didn’t Bark

If they were real journalists, the U.S. corporate media would be vigorously examining the many claims raised in this video (and many similar videos and posts on X (Twitter). It would be nonstop, 24/7. Similarly, if someone tried to shoot Kamala Harris, the “news” media would stop at NOTHING to find out exactly and precisely what happened, how it happened and why.

Too many things simply don’t add up regarding the two recent attempts on Donald Trump’s life, but revealing the facts might not be convenient for the big media corporations. Vigorously investigating how these two allegedly unfunded and unconnected “renegades” came so close to killing Donald Trump might even impugn the operations and intentions of the U.S. security state. It is stunning to watch “journalists” doing the bare minimum, repeatedly taking the attitude: Just move on . . . nothing to see here. They are working hard to normalize the fact that people sometimes try to kill a major candidate for president. This lack of interest, the failure or journalists to care about major stories, is as disturbing as the blatant censorship and government funded propaganda we’ve seen over the past five years.

For those who think all of the questions and suspicions of this young woman on TikTok are far-fetched, that the U.S. security state would never do the terrible things that it does to other countries to our own country, consider that the ubiquitous censorship, government propaganda (including the claim of Russian collusion), the abject disinterest of our corporate media and perhaps much much more might be the most recent manifestations of a 60+ year work in progress.

If you think that the constant state of war promoted by the U.S. is the only option, your brain has been broken by sophisticated U.S. government psy-ops. You can’t simply make these serious concerns magically disappear by uttering “conspiracy theory” as though this phrase were one of Harry Potter’s incantations.

I’ll end with George Carlin’s observation regarding assassination:

When it is an assassin trying to kill anyone but Trump, the corporate media wants to know EVERYTHING about that assassin.
