All it says to me is that it unsafe to be him, which he has completely brought upon himself.

Now Trump’s lawyers are already
Saying the building of the ballroom must resume because the Hilton’s large size makes it dangerous and hard to secure.

Or his roast being a yawn

… as if to say, “everything is fine here, all going to plan.”

My understanding is Allen sent his manifesto to his family as he was departing for the event, so the only preparation time would have been his travel time and the time it took for the family to find the right number to call.

Yes, that has been reported, but is it completely accurate?
He left CA last Tuesday. Was the report accurate partially, that is did the family notify LE on Saturday evening, reported, but also prior to the event. Almost four full days after leaving CA?

I think his parents have already been swarmed by the press, so there may be some more info out there.

The purpose of sending the manifesto was so that people knew why he did it, not so that his plans would be cancelled. He thought he would end up dead. If he ended up dead, no one would have his manifesto. (Phones can be difficult to unlock)

That guy should have looked like Swiss cheese, riddled with bullet holes in an effort to stop him. Something doesn't add up about that alone.

The alleged assassin was running pretty fast in the video clip, and then agent guns were out and 5 shots were fired. The man from California was said to have dropped to the floor at that point, but was not hit. So I don't see how he even had an opportunity to fire any of his weapons.

I do believe the charging document artfully avoids the question whether he discharged a firearm.

But you're a careful and anti-propaganda poster, so you surely know that.

I admit it sounds plausible.

but likely. It's the easiest explanation for their actions and reactions.

Some here will continue to make excuses for Krasnov & Associates.

From FB:.
"Cole Tomas Allen, 31 years old from Torrance, California.
This wasn’t some street criminal…
This was a trained mind.
An engineer. A man educated at California Institute of Technology, one of the most elite scientific institutions on the planet…
Mechanical engineering background. Advanced work in Computer Science. Former NASA JPL intern working on AI and planetary systems…
This is the kind of mind that builds things…
Optimizes systems…
Solves problems most people can’t even understand…
A man trained to improve life.
*snip*
So now you have to ask the question most people don’t want to touch…
How does someone like this.
Highly educated…
Technically trained…
No criminal history…
Capable of complex engineering thought…

End up here?"

What makes this especially weird to me is his connection to JPL and at least two of the dead or missing scientiss there--especially as there's also a connection to the OTO,. Jack Parsons, who founded JPL, was heavily into Crowley and just recently killed himself.

Where do weird coincidences gain traction as legitimate... things? This is all reading like a crazy Robert Anton Wilson novel to my eye. 🤔

If Bob Wilson read that he'd come back and then kill himself.
Recently, and perhaps repeatedly.
With 23 stab wounds.

This came from a FB post and didn't give dates. I thought he'd made a big deal about his OTO beliefs *at* work and I wondered if that was relevant--or even still a background thing there.

Obviously, RAW stuck with me over the years. I love a weird conspiracy. 🤪

Brilliant mathematician and mad as a hatter. Smart and mentally disturbed are not by any means mutually exclusive; where do you think the "mad scientist" trope comes from?

Let the shooter get close enough to make it look real, and then take him down. I'm surprised they didn't kill him.

But we live in an era where “You do You” means “make up your own reality”.

The trump fucking liars, grifters and conmen saw an opportunity and exploited it.

It's that simple. I don't know how anyone can continue to defend them.

where the dinner was being held and attendees at the event said that some of them even got in without their ids being checked. Trump had TSA agents at magnetometers (he turned those down on Jan 6th) but they didn't ask for ids? They weren't on the lookout for the shooter who's name they already had?

Either a LIHOP or incredibly incompetent security management.

We know Allen’s family notified law enforcement before the event, about 10 minutes according to reports posted on this thread and others.

They caught him well in advance of any danger to the attendees.

Now that you’ve been presented with different information, has your opinion changed?

He basically alerted the police almost same time as it happened.

“Accused White House Correspondents' Dinner gunman Cole Allen sent an anti-Trump manifesto to his family about 10 minutes before opening fire on Saturday, April 25, 2026. The suspect, who referred to himself as the "Friendly Federal Assassin," detailed his plans to target administration”

Therefore, the most credible.

I had a hectic day.

Climbing rocks at age 77 to get flower photos was just the start.

Got spoiler?

Really serious.

In this current world, a kind of mashup of Twilight Zone and Star Trek, the more sinister the villain, the more likely.

And the earth is flat?

I enjoy only CT's that involve those Bond Villains, because people really try to imitate them. No others.

Bond villains, Sebastian Cabot as the devil, Kanamits (I hope, see below) and so on.



Physics grad here. Reality-based, and when you throw in quantum physics, reality is weird and exciting enough to put silly CT's and delusions to shame.

They are poor substitutes, and all their Bond Villain heroes lose bigly anyway. They choose not to notice. I choose to watch them fail (and try to limit the damage they do on the way down.)

Sorry for being so dense.

I follow your activist posts, so I was pretty sure of your intended meaning, but with all the other declarations of The Truth of The Incident on DU the past few days, a little voice inside me was unsure.

the government mentions that Allen "Made a hotel reservation at the Washington Hilton on April 6 for the night before, the night of, and the night after the dinner."

I'm still trying to figure THAT out. The night before yes, night of - ok - he needed the room until he went downstairs. But why the night after? In what world do you shoot the president of the United States and calmly walk back to your room?

And party.

“Multiple reports indicated that the suspect's family warned law enforcement about the mental stability of the shooter before the incident began.”

Maybe we’ll get a hint someday.

"Guns for EVERYONE!!" is the American Way right up there with apple pie.

Far fetched, but Trump was really waxing rhapsodic about what happened

The conspiracy theories (actually not really theories as there is damn little evidence to support them; more like wild guesses) are still coming.

All this is contingent on the supposition that law enforcement was informed of the plot before it occurred and, that Trump org. decided to take advantage of it for political gain (for one, to justify the Ballroom of all things). Both, it would seem, highly unlikely and the first, false according to most accounts.

Looking at the incident in its totality, I don't think tRump knew about the gunman in advance.

First, trump's reaction has been soooo bad and so poorly thought out. He wasn't prepared. I think he was genuinely caught off guard.

Second, Cole is alive! If he were funded by the FBI or tRump's henchmen, I'm pretty sure he would have been killed. But he's alive and ticking.

Third, that manifesto. No way in hell would tRump agree to something like that being written down. And then tRump immediately took credit for being the person that Cole was referring to.

So yeah .. No.... I think it was a real, organic situation, but at this point, it doesn't really matter.

Everyone thinks it was staged. I went to an event on Sunday and nobody believed the official narrative.

Perception is reality. People are tired of tRump's shit. They're tired of all the chaos. This will hurt tRump more than it helps him.

Or was it LEO in California and did they then pass on the info to the SS and if so, what time did they notify the SS?
