Introducing the Blade job
My current theory on Trump’s fake assassination attempt once again hearkens back to WWE and Trump’s love of over-the-top kayfabe. In the wrestling entertainment biz, there’s a term called “blade job”. Here’s how Wikipedia describes it:
In professional wrestling, blading is the practice of intentionally cutting oneself to provoke bleeding.
It’s a very well known practice within the business that goes back many decades. It is something that can be performed on live TV in front of millions of people. Yet for those who have never been told, they believe what they’re seeing is real, and they assume that seeing blood = real combat. Here’s a video explaining why and how it’s done, including the hiding spots and techniques:
The wrestler simply hides a razor on his body, and when the time is right and the signal is given, he acts like he’s been hit, drops down to the floor “in pain”, covers himself, slits a part of himself open while covered, and then hides the blade. When he stands back up, people see the blood and draw the obvious conclusion that he was injured by an attack.
Now, without any exaggeration, the usage of blade jobs in wrestling has helped to generate tens of millions of dollars for the industry, so it’s not like Trump—who has literally appeared on WWE multiple times and is a close friend of Vince McMahon—is unaware of the theatrical value of such a simple gimmick.
Just like in pro wrestling, the production team’s choreography ensures that the blade job is hidden from the cameras. Notice that Trump had a chart specially placed on his right, which he turned to, hiding his ear. That was the signal to set off the gunpowder in the distance (there was no gunshot) and he grabs his ear and drops down.
Reality TV star turned messiah
Trump is a reality TV star. He is an actor. His whole life has been stage managed. His fortunes were obtained through fraud and deep connections to shady people. His presidency was propelled by military insiders. Q Anon and the psyops around that show us how these guys love to spin the narrative to make him seem like the Savior. People need to remember who we’re talking about here. There is no reason the Deep State would want Trump dead. They’ve been building him up for decades for this purpose. This is his assigned role in the conspiracy. He let Jeffery Epstein escape prison, he did not release the JFK files, he never “draine the swamp” at all, and in the end he promoted the swamp’s biggest turd to the position of running the country into the ground under the false guise of a pandemic. He is the grandfather of the COVID mRNA shots. He is a trusted puppet.
So we have a vaguely religious conversion narrative now. And Trump’s team decided to stage this show in the most important swing state, Pennsylvania, on a farm.
Of course, farmers should be on Trump’s side anyway, right? Not so fast. Trump is a huge corporate puppet who loves bailouts for the richest, while RFK Jr. has been aggressively suing Monsanto and trying to fight vaccines, pollution, and other issues important to evangelical farming voters. Without a stunt like this, Trump’s momentum could have dwindled as RFK got more press and it became obvious that Trump was dodging him as the next real contender. Now? It will be easy to forget that Trump’s election campaign has been totally pathetic, with his own failed social media platform, trying to sell gold sneakers and ugly AI-generated NFTs to idiots instead of talking about any real issues.
Let me know how much you like or hate this analysis. I’m very curious how many people are going to buy into the Passion of the Trump narrative going forward.
It's interesting to follow. I'm hearing ideas from a few others too. I wasn't fooled for a moment, unless it were to somehow turn out that it was real. The only way these "events" make sense is when viewed skeptically. Very skeptically.
It was disappointing to hear what sounded like full buy-in to the media version of the story from the leadership at my church on Sunday, but expected. It's a tough spot to be in. There was, however, no political endorsement, but rather a warning not to look to presidents and such to save us! I would guess that not everybody appreciated that remark, but I did.
Hiding in plain sight..Rick flair wooooo
