Opaqueness is the mother of conspiracy theories

My thoughts on the completely unexpected, totally inexplicable attempt on Trump’s life.

I was waiting for more information before writing this, but since it is not forthcoming, it is clear that we will never be allowed to know what really happened with the Trump assassination attempt. This leads me to make a guess, and here it is.

First, the Establishment spends eight years telling everyone that Trump is evil incarnate, while hoping that someone will be stupid enough and crazy enough to do something about it. Then they make sure Trump gets a Secret Service detail that’s mostly Establishment stooges who will deliberately ignore threats to his life in the hopes that someone will blow his head off. Then, when the hoped-for assassination attempt happens, they scrub the would-be assassin’s social media, burn any diaries he may have, and erase his hard drives so that any evidence implicating the Establishment will disappear. They then shrug their shoulders and tell us that it’s all a great mystery and that we will never really know what happened. That looks like what’s happening right now. Trust me, if this guy’s motivations could be pinned on Trump himself or on some other populist figure, we would know by now. This, of course, tells us that the assassination attempt wasn’t the fault of Trump or some other populist figure.

 

And yes, i know this is just conjecture, but that’s all you can do when they refuse to put the evidence out there.
