Thomas Matthew Crooks wasn't part of some Manchurian Candidate-like plot, according to the spy agency.

    Had never crossed my mind, but glad they put that to rest, I guess.

    Yeah they didn’t use THAT method. Specifically. Because obviously THAT particular method never works.

    They used a different one.

        Do indulge us: Why would the CIA want to “unironically” shoot at Donald Trump?

    And what about Stargate project then?

    I mean if there is nothing about MKUltra and “everything have been declassified” why then the Stargate project?

        Are we sure they didn’t beam instructions into the shooter using some combination of chemtrails and HAARP?

        I heard they’d cancelled project Dark Skies because it was too expensive. Maybe it’ll get picked up by another agency.

    The trajectory of the bullet would be impossible on a ball-earth. Flat earth has been confirmed by the CIA.

    I think Crooks was a ANTIFA brainwashed Manchurian candidate who only missed because the leftists who did the brainwashing are horrible shots.
