Understanding the US - Again

[Rudradev]

...
Since the shooter is described by his fellow students from when he was at Caltech at near-genius level of intelligence (and that is a very high bar at Caltech), one wonders, if POTUS was his target, how he planned to achieve his objective.

^^^ that is why I speculate there is something fishy. Of course, this young man may have developed some mental disease after his academic years.

[Amber G.]

^^^ Also two hours after a man with a shotgun fired shots at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, sixteen of the most prominent MAGA influencers on X all posted the same message.

The message was not "thank God the President is safe."
The message was "this is why we need the White House ballroom."
And this same refrain from POTUS right after ..(" I want the WH Barloom .." "Honored to be among great impactful people (for only those who are target ..." etc)

[Amber G.]

^^^ that is why I speculate there is something fishy. ...

Do the agents typically reach for a person and pull him back up right away immediately after asking him to get closer to the ground?

[vera_k]

IMO, this person demonstrated genius in using the scientific approach to conduct the attack.

In that he went in with no assumptions that the hotel would be locked down and highly secure. Found an opening and exploited it. This attack stands out in its simplicity.

Maybe he was bitter that what he thought about his potential did not really translate into anything approaching fame. All the rhetoric that is going on against Trump, he, too is blaming Trump for not achieving the fame he deserved. After all he had been living with his parents even after plunking down huge sums to go to CalTech. Even if he had both need-based and merit-based tuition awards, it is still quite expensive to live in the dorm. Scholarships cover only tuition and such but not room and board (AFAIK).

@vera_k ji, no no no.

He found a way to direct his bullets through a Calabi–Yau manifold and use some of the extra spatial dimensions to guide them to the target. Should be fairly easy for a genius-level graduate from CalTech. He might even have found a way to make the bullets travel back in time and hit the POTUS when they are entering the concourse.

[Vayutuvan]

By the way, the gunman's full name is CT Allen, Cole Thomas Allen. That is a dead give away that this is a false flag op by Trump to lobby for the new grand ballroom.

[Vayutuvan]

^^^ that is why I speculate there is something fishy. Of course, this young man may have developed some mental disease after his academic years.

Aah. The insanity defense. I am sure defense attorneys will certainly try for something like that, inspite of finding a manifesto from CT Allen.

On a serious note, here are results from an opinion poll conducted by Kettering Project/Gallup Democracy For All Project, July 7- August 25, 2025.

Americans' acceptability of political violence

By Age

Age 18 to 29 30%
Age 30 to 44 21%
Age 45 to 59 13%
Age 60 to xx 4%

(under 45 it is 51% - that is pretty high)

By Subgroup Social Media Habits

None/Don't use Daily 8%
Less than 1 hour per day 9%
1 to 2 hours per day 15%
3 to 4 hours per day 21%
5 or more hours per day 22%

---------------------------------

CT Allen is a game developer as well. I am sure FBI would be looking into what kinds of games he was playing and also developing.

The White House Correspondents Dinner cannot be held in a White House ballroom.

For one, that would be like me hosting a party held by you. Second, Trump’s ballroom, monstrosity that it is, is designed to seat 999 people. The Washington Hilton International ballroom seats 2,670 for black-tie events.

This is 'political violence within the US of A'.

If it were 'causing political violence outside the US of A' most Americans would be ok with it.. if they could find it on the map.

The White House Correspondents' Dinner will never happen in Trump's ballroom.

Trump to Rename ICE as ‘NICE’? Viral Post Sparks Fresh Immigration Policy Debate in US – Here’s What We Know
Amreen Ahmad, April 27, 2026
U.S. President Donald Trump has publicly supported a viral suggestion to rename Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as “NICE” short for National Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The idea emerged from social media and quickly gained attention after Trump reshared it on Truth Social, writing “GREAT IDEA!!! DO IT.”
ICE is a key federal agency under the Department of Homeland Security responsible for immigration enforcement, deportation operations and detention oversight. It carries out more than 100,000–200,000 removals annually in typical enforcement cycles, depending on federal priorities and border conditions. The proposal has triggered political debate, especially as immigration remains one of the most divisive policy issues in the United States.
Trump Endorses Viral “NICE” Idea
The discussion began when a social media post suggested that renaming ICE to “NICE” could influence public perception, as media outlets would repeatedly use a softer-sounding acronym.

US NEWS LIVE: Obama Facing Jail? Tulsi Gabbard’s Big Announcement After Trump Order | World News
Tulsi Gabbard intensified her accusations against the Intelligence leadership during the Obama administration, claiming they had a plot to undermine Donald Trump's 2016 win. Former President Barack Obama, former FBI Director James Comey, DNI James Clapper, and CIA Director John Brennan are all specifically mentioned by Gabbard in her latest report.

WHCD Aftermath (about 1.5 hours after the security incident): Some invitees were found picking up wine bottles and taking selfies.

Meanwhile the Islamic Democrat Ilhan Omar is facing fresh scrutiny after amended financial disclosures reportedly reduced her and her husband’s listed assets from a previously reported $6M–$30M range to roughly $18,004–$95,000, with her office blaming accounting errors and liabilities. Critics are now asking: was this just a filing mistake, or should tax and ethics authorities investigate?

King Charles delivers HISTORIC address to US Congress

King Charles III addresses Congress, touching on the WHCA Dinner shooting and the U.S.-U.K relationship.

[bala]

The delivery of the speech by King Charles of UK had both Dems & Repubs clapping and smiling, so the Dems do like Kings albeit of another nation. Surreal behaviour of both parties agreeing with Charles and UK. SoreAss was scowling perhaps in his hideout in NY. Interesting the Brits cite common law etc but much of their law originated from India's Chanakya rule. They had sanskrit scholars translate India's law and adopted the same for their nation and the world.

[Vayutuvan]

@bala ji, that inbred King wants Ukraine to be supported at the cost of Amreekan taxpayers. But he cannot protect his own vulnerable young woman children, i.e., UK young women, from shittistani groomers. Big-eared Joker.

[chetak]

On ur Turf, In ur Face....King Charles thrashes Trump in the language he understands at the WH:

“You recently commented, Mr. President, that if it were not for United States, European countries would be speaking German. Dare I say that if it wasn’t for us, you’d be speaking French”

[A_Gupta]

King Charles III speeches to Congress and at the White House - both are masterpieces of style in rebuking Trump in the most polite language possible.

Am not supportive of the monarchy but they certainly have good speechwriters and an art of speech delivery. Worth seeing what can be adapted from that style.

[A_Gupta]

Looks like all the shots fired in the White House Correspondents Association Dinner were fired by the Secret Service.

[Vayutuvan]

Hardly matters. That genius was carrying two guns and several knives and charged USSS agents. His intention was clear unless his manifesto was a LEO plant. That would be a qanon like CT.

Trump is demanding Zambia to hand over its mineral rights by end of day tomorrow or the U.S. gov’t will cut off the country’s access to the AIDS medications that are literally keeping its citizens alive.



Conditioning HIV treatment on free mineral access isn’t diplomacy, it’s extortion.

Very old tale being repurposed, ie,

<snip>

Cut off happened last year! {AmberG - See the post /NY Times headline it is 2026!!!}

This not OLD but the current and developing news. The reports surfaced in mid-March 2026 and have reached a critical point this week.


The situation centers on a leaked U.S. State Department memo (first reported by The New York Times) regarding a "trade-for-aid" strategy. Here is the breakdown of the current status:

The Trump administration is reportedly leveraging PEPFAR (the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief) funding as a "stick" to pressure the Zambian government.

The Demand: - Zambia must sign a "Bilateral Compact" giving U.S. companies preferential access to its vast reserves of copper, cobalt, and lithium—minerals essential for green energy and tech hardware.

The Deadline: Is a "May 2026" cutoff to finalize parts of the deal, which aligns with my note about "tomorrow".

Approximately 1.3 million Zambians currently rely on daily HIV medication provided through this U.S. aid.


Over 90 global health organizations sent a joint letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio this month, urging him to repudiate the strategy and calling it "holding lifesaving medical aid hostage."

[Lisa]

Ji aid was cut virtually halved last year,

https://foreignassistance.gov/cd/zambia ... igations/0

Furthermore, why does the narrative presume that American taxpayers are responsible for Zambian patients and not the Chinese who are currently asset stripping Zambia? If the Chinese want the copper then let them fund Zambian healthcare.

It's a tried and tested method, Lisa ji.

china uses the very same technique in nepal, maldives, beediland and lanka and India provides the goods and money to sustain the locals without getting anything in return

these jokers all fear the cheen but have no objection to constantly freeloading on India and still cursing India for not doing enough for them

the cheen neither care nor bother to help them out in any way, and no one dare call them out

The amrikis are pioneers in the use of this modus operandi, and the cheen have refined this modus vivendi in to a fine art

the amrikis and the cheen do not let social good in any form to contaminate their predatory business dealings

the narrative has nothing to with the amriki taxpayer, who is as much a victim as the average zambian is

If any aid was halved, it was merely a negotiating position to force concessions from the hapless zambians, and unlock long term preferential access to their vast reserves of copper, cobalt, and lithium.

It's the age old colonial way that the big boys conduct their business with the marginalised countries, leveraging without conscience, any and every weakness/need that can be capitalised upon.

Chetakji,

Situation in this case is regretfully more complex. American diplomats were regularly buying Free American Medicines in pharmacies all over Zambia. Zambian government was repeatedly asked to stop this leakage and in effect declined as the correct pockets were being lined by this corruption. US said, fine, we will stop this aid. Now this all Trumps fault even though it was the Biden administration that found this corruption!

Translation - American taxpayers owe Zambian politicians a living.

Lisa ji,


one gets the point that you are making. This is something of a universal problem in almost all low income countries

BTW, similar things happened in many countries, including India, with medicines and supplements that were gifted by several UN agencies, directly to the concerned governments, and specifically meant for the low socio economic and marginalised sections, for gratis distribution, medicines and supplements, which more often than not found their way to the open markets for sale.

If there is any further interest in background information on amrikis and africa, one recommends a book that exposes what the amrikis actually did in africa. The cheen are fast learners and quick innovators

Let us say there was no foreign intervention in Zambia, then these 1.3 million Zambians would not be alive; but nor would any foreign power now have leverage over Zambian mineral wealth.

As @chetak wrote, all these humanitarian missions are really ways to extend the empire.
