Hosting Upgrade Appeal

Dear Visitor. The Tap has become increasingly busy over the last few weeks with many more visitors and sign ups. It's currently creaking and slowing. We need a hosting account upgrade to help cope with the increased activity and keep this free blog online. In this age of great change The Tap is a valuable independent resource where we can come together and share information the controlling parasites would rather we didn't have. It would be sad to lose it but it costs to keep it going and free to use. If any of you can help donate even a small amount towards the hosting upgrade that would be a big help. Your small donation makes a huge difference. Thank you in advance. Click here to donate


The Trump Shooting was of course Staged

“Grudgingly, by huge request. There are a couple of things here I don’t think you have seen anywhere else.

by Miles Mathis
First published July 15, 2024

Let me preface this by stating for the record what my regular readers already know: I am not partisan. I
hate both parties and candidates about equally. I have destroyed Biden and the Democrats many times,
pointing out they are now more fascist than the Republicans, which took some doing. Everyone is now
reading from scripts, and I have admitted the Republicans currently have a better script. They have
been given the more rational talking points for a reason: this is all part of some long-term plan to move
the country even further right, into the waiting arms of the governors. But I am not buying any of the
scripts and I recommend you don’t either. You should be looking for ways to drive around both parties
and the Matrix that has become our world.

I have waited a few days to publish this, though I knew instantly it was staged, without even looking at
it closely. I wanted to let others collect evidence while I finished papers on other topics that I consider
more important and interesting. Since I have proved to you everything else is fake, that should be our
logical and default assumption for any new highly promoted event. FAKE.

But somehow all the other fake events specialists like Alex Jones and Mike Adams have forgotten that
basic rule. Everyone seems to have conveniently forgotten what a false flag is these days. When was
the last time Jones outed a false flag, or even used the term? Strange, since that is how he made his
name. Before 911 he was just a loud obnoxious guy on Austin public access, but when he started
yelling that 911 was a false flag, his big rise began.

Today, Jones couldn’t spot a false flag from a foot away. He couldn’t spot moulage or any other clue to
save his life. Instead he is promoting this fake event like there is no tomorrow, never even considering
the possibility it might be staged. Same for Mike Adams, who published a standard report on the event
yesterday, but nothing more.

 

Before we get into it, let me just state the obvious: in that “iconic” photo, Trump is not saying “fight”,
he is saying “fuck”. Everybody knows that, so let’s just be honest. That will help get us in.
Another clue is that, technically, the flag is upside down in that photo above under title.
Then we have the bad moulage job, where some make-up girl was hiding behind the podium and
smeared some fake blood on Trump when he kneeled down. It isn’t convincing at all, since the straight
lines of blood look like they were drawn on with a red marker. Then there is some red goop on his ear,
but she didn’t have time to make that look real, either. All she did is make the whole ear red. But
where is the bullet hole? We seem to be missing a bullet hole.

If a bullet had taken off even a centimeter of the edge of the ear, it would be bleeding profusely, and we
would see blood dripping from his earlobe down onto his shirt and jacket. I have scratched off scabs
on my ear that bled more that that, and you probably have, too.

Then there’s the little problem about allowing him to stand up and do his little dance, gesturing to the
crowd and so on. They had to get the picture for the papers. But if this had been real they would have
kept him down. He would never have been allowed to stand back up almost immediately, making
himself a target again. That was against all protocol and logic.

Next we come to the assessment that has made the papers, that being the Secret Service acted nothing
like the Secret Service. Some are implicating Secret Service, implying there was some sort of stand
down, but that is again misdirection. Yes, the strange (in)actions of the Secret Service indicate either a
stand down OR they indicate a faked event. So why is no one in the mainstream or alternative press on
either side allowed to point that out? Only a few wingnuts like minor actresses are saying it, and they
are being leapt on from all quarters as insane. But what is insane about it? Logically, it should be the
first thing to mark off, right? Any real investigation would start by proving the event happened. These
are Hollywood people, after all. Trump is an actor and has worked on TV and with WWE, both
masters of fakery. So there is nothing insane about looking closely at this event for signs it was
staged. If we do that, it quickly becomes clear it was allowed to happen, but not because SS wanted
Trump dead. It was allowed to happen because it was staged. Occam’s Razor applies here, since the
staging explanation is far simpler than any other explanation.

If you haven’t read the mainstream admissions, they have admitted SS had previously tagged that
rooftop where the shooter was perched as dangerous, so it should not only have been restricted, it
should have had an agent physically on it. Snipers on adjacent buildings could see him and had already
spotted him, but allegedly weren’t allowed first shot. Yeah. If you believe that you will believe
anything. That’s why the snipers were there in the first place: to prevent a first shot on a former
President. People in the crowd had also seen the shooter and warned SS about it, but were ignored.
Then we have the miracle picture of the bullet flying by Trump.

They really think you are stupid, to buy that photoshopped POS. That was allegedly captured by a
NYT photographer. Convenient. So how fast was his shutter speed? Well, they saw that question
coming, because they tell us he was using a Sony A1 at 1/8000s. Since Trump is not known to move
1000 feet per second himself, it is unclear why the photographer would be using that shutter speed. But
let’s say he was. At that shutter speed, how far would the bullet move? Since this was an AR15, the
bullet would have slowed to about 2000fps. So we just multiply. The bullet should have traveled ¼
foot, or three inches. Is that track 3 inches? No, it is about a foot, which is four times too long.
Obviously, the bullet would need to be moving 8000fps to make a track one foot long on a film open
for 1/8000s. Anyone can do that math. 8000/8000 = 1.

Then there is the reaction of the crowd behind Trump, which allegedly had eight bullets whizzing past
them. They stand there like idiots, many not running or even ducking. That’s because they know the
bangs are just blanks.

You will say one of those people was killed. Corey Comperatore. Unfortunately, his story doesn’t add
up, either. We are being told he was an ex-fire chief in Buffalo Township. But his LinkedIN profile
doesn’t mention being a firefighter. It says he has worked at JSP in Butler for 30 years. Plus, this dead
guy is still posting at LinkedIN as of today.

Nice of him to comment on his own death, right? That’s very helpful. You will say there are two
Corey Comperatores in that area of the same age who look exactly alike.

Not according to Intelius and Instantcheckmate, which both tell us there is only one Corey
Comperatore there. And not according to the Los Angeles Times, which is using the second pic there in
their obituary, which is the one from LinkedIN. So as usual, this is all incredibly sloppy. [Also funny:
it appears the guy never changes shirts.]

And this is embarrassing:
His old firehouse now has that memorial. Except for one thing: they spelled his name wrong. They
have never heard of that guy.

Then we have this little problem:
That’s the alleged shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks, in a Blackrock commercial from last year. For
some reason not given, Blackrock shot their commercial at Bethel Park Highschool, where Crooks was
a student. Blackrock has now admitted that is him, removing the commercial from any future rotation.
That is being sold as some sort of wild coincidence, but it isn’t. Any student appearing in this
commercial would be handpicked by the directors. They don’t just shoot randomly and then ask
students to sign a release. My guess is Crooks is related to someone high up at Blackrock, and this was
his first foot-wetting for his career. What career? CIA, of course. His fake death in this event is the
perfect entry into CIA, since he now has cover. The best cover available: a faked death.

For more strangeness, I just discovered he has been removed overnight from Instantcheckmate.
Fortunately, I had already done a search on him yesterday, when his family’s pages were still up. They
have removed his parents Matthew and Mary, but Glenn Howard of Allison Park is still up today.
Other Crooks in the family are Melissa, Marie, Carol, Donald, Jason, James, Hailey, Kelly, Jeffrey,
Kayla and Corey. Others still in my search list are Daniel, Madeleine, and John Frizzi; Lauryn and
Corey Kalka; Jayme Milani; Karl and Jennifer Bayer; Salvatore, John, and Joseph Dino; and Gerald
and Stephanie Shoup. Also through Melissa Marie Crooks we link to Dolores, Francis, Jonathan and
Shelby Saban. Also to Virginia and Anthony Balistrieri. Through Marcia Kalka’s obit, we also link to
the Vetters, Dominowskis, and Weidenhefts.

Yesterday I found that his mother Mary Crooks had already been partially scrubbed, with no maiden
name and no links to anyone except Crooks. My guess is that is where the action is here, but they have
made my work much more difficult recently by no longer listing aka’s in these free searches. That is
obviously in response to me and me alone, since who else is doing this?

According to Findagrave, a Mary Crooks of this family died November 1, 2023 at age 92 in Cecil, PA.
Obviously that isn’t his mother, but it may be his grandmother or great-grandmother on his father’s side.
She is definitely a relative since Cecil, PA, is on his family lists and so is Norman Crooks.
Most of those Crooks were already scrubbed off his immediate family’s pages yesterday and I only
found them with some inspired digging. The first one that yielded anything interesting was Jason
Crooks of Allison Park, since he is listed at LinkedIN as the CIO and Founder of Sharp Shield
Management. We know he is from this family since Allison Park came up over and over when I was
researching these people, and those other family names are on his list. He is formerly of Kimes
Technologies and Sonneborn LLC. Sharp Shield is listed out of Wilmington, DE, so it is already
looking like a CIA front. Kimes Technologies sells sulfonated metals, so I don’t know what that has to
do with a fin-tech investment firm like Sharp Shield. Same for Sonneborn, which is another chemical
company, specializing in alkanes and ink oils. Jason Crooks allegedly went from being a lab manager
at Kimes to founding his own investment firm? How does that work? You can see why they removed
him from the family short lists. I only found him through Marie Crooks, who I found through Melissa
Crooks, and even Melissa has been scrubbed off the short lists. I only found them by collating the first
names and places names, like Allison Park.

LinkedIN also delivered on Kayla Crooks, since as it turns out she is now Kayla Crooks Kennedy. We
know it is her because the ages match and the two locations both match as well: Pittsburgh+New York
City. So we can look up a wedding announcement, and we find it: she married Devin Kennedy in
2021. No, not the floppy-haired 28-year-old musician, but I would assume they are related. Our Devin
Kennedy is a senior IT business analyst at PNC Bank, Pittsburgh. He even looks like a Kennedy:
Plus, we find he went to Wheeling Jesuit University. The Jesuits are Catholics, of course, so this also
tends to peg him not just as a Kennedy, but as from THE Kennedys. A clue in the same direction is
SIFE, which he was in at Wheeling. This is Students with an Interrupted Formal Education, which is
not just ESL students, it is also these pampered people like Kennedys and Rockefellers and movie stars
and musicians, who are too important gallivanting about the world to go to school, so they get left
behind academically and have to play catch-up in college. It looks like he is now about 35, but he
didn’t get his masters until 2021, when he was about 32. That is because there is a five-year gap in his
resume between his college diploma in 2013 and beginning his masters in 2018. And his masters took
four years itself, indicating either he isn’t too bright or he is from a rich family and is no hurry to do
anything. But don’t worry about him: PNC had already hired him in 2019, one year into his four-year
masters. It wasn’t all wine and roses for this Devin Kennedy, though: in 2011 he worked as an auto
body detailer for all of three months. And he has it on his resume! I am just surprised he survived it.
So we are starting to flesh out our fake shooter a bit, aren’t we? He is not some white-trash wingnut
living in a trailer park, and we are seeing some of his connections. But they didn’t make it easy. I
admit this was the most difficult research I have done to date, and I almost gave it up yesterday, since
all the links seemed to be hidden. But with enough persistence, I broke through. You can take it from
here.

I will point out one thing, though, on the way out. Robert Kennedy has also accepted this event at face value, and even tried to sell it by saying it reminded him of the assassinations in his family. Yeah, it does remind us of those, since they were equally fake. Or actually much worse. So it is sort of fitting I was able to pull in a Kennedy here with just a few clicks at LinkedIN.”
