You probably saw the 2016 documentary called "Hypernormalization 2016" by Adam Curtis.

It discusses how political events are staged to give the manipulators a big advantage. The documentary talked a lot about Putin's staged events. Like funding the agitators of both sides to stage a protest, then bringing in the police to break up the fights.

In 2016, we thought Trump was more of a buffoon than a Machiavellian planner. If he was a buffoon, he has been learning.

I'm giving the assassination attempt a high plausibility of being a staged event.

We need a new way.
