Witnesses Frantically Tried to Warn Police of Rifle-Carrying Sniper on Roof Before Trump Assassination Attempt
Via: New York Post:
Witnesses desperately tried to warn police that a rifle-toting sniper was crawling on a roof moments before gunfire erupted at the Trump rally Saturday.
“You could clearly see him with a rifle,” the man, wearing a MAGA 2020 hat, told BBC News.
“We’re pointing at him. The police are down there running around on the ground.
“We’re like, ‘Hey, man, this guy on the roof with a rifle.’ And the police were like, ‘Huh?’ They didn’t know what was going on.”
…
The witness claimed he and his friends tried warning police for several minutes as Secret Service members watched on, choosing not to take action until between five and eight shots were fired, the origins of which he said “100%” came from the rifle-carrying man.
“He was up there for a couple of minutes, absolutely at least three, four minutes. We were pointing at him for the Secret Service, who were looking at us from the top of the barn. They were looking at us the whole time.”

The law enforcement snipers were already facing the direction of the shooter seconds prior to the shooting.
I am amazed they did not see the shooter crawling into position for his shots a mere 430 ft away. pic.twitter.com/oXJlWfWOMa

Trump Shot in Right Ear at Campaign Rally, Shooter Dead
Via: Reuters:
Donald Trump was shot in the right ear during a campaign rally on Saturday, sparking panic and streaking the Republican presidential candidate’s blood across his face, before he emerged and pumped his fist in the air appearing to mouth the words “Fight! Fight! Fight!”
The shooter was dead, one rally attendee was killed and two other spectators were injured, the Secret Service said in a statement. The incident was being investigated as an assassination attempt, a source told Reuters.
…
Ron Moose, a Trump supporter who was in the crowd, described the chaos: “I heard about four shots and I saw the crowd go down and then Trump ducked also real quick. Then the Secret Service all jumped and protected him as soon as they could. We are talking within a second they were all protecting him.”
Moose said he then saw a man running and being chased by officers in military uniforms. He said he heard additional shots, but was unsure who fired them. He noted that by then snipers had set up on the roof of a warehouse behind the stage.
The BBC interviewed a man who described himself as an eyewitness, saying he saw a man armed with a rifle crawling up a roof near the event. The person, who the BBC did not identify, said he and the people he was with started pointing at the man, trying to alert security.
The shots appeared to come from outside the area secured by the Secret Service, the agency said.

Donald Trump said he was shot in his right ear during the horrific assassination attempt at his Pennsylvania rally and knew something was wrong when he heard a ‘whizzing’ sound.
The former president said he immediately felt the bullet ‘ripping through my skin’ in a statement from hospital just hours after the terrifying scene unfolded.
The 77-year-old was dragged off stage by Secret Service with blood covering his face and then pumped his fist and shouted ‘fight, fight, fight’ after gunfire rang out in front of thousands of MAGA fans.
The gunman and a member of the crowd were killed and two others were taken to hospital in a critical condition after the shooting at 6.15pm on Saturday night.
The suspect fired at least eight shots from outside the security perimeter of the rally after witnesses said they say a man with a rifle bear crawling on a roof.

It is the first of its kind to reach human parity in a pair of popular benchmarks, and is apparently so lifelike that Microsoft has no plans to grant access to the public.
AT&T Says Criminals Stole Phone Records of ‘Nearly All’ Customers
July 12th, 2024Via: Tech Crunch:
U.S. phone giant AT&T confirmed Friday it will begin notifying millions of consumers about a fresh data breach that allowed cybercriminals to steal the phone records of “nearly all” of its customers, a company spokesperson told TechCrunch.
In a statement, AT&T said that the stolen data contains phone numbers of both cellular and landline customers, as well as AT&T records of calls and text messages — such as who contacted who by phone or text — during a six-month period between May 1, 2022 and October 31, 2022.
AT&T said some of the stolen data includes more recent records from January 2, 2023 for a smaller but unspecified number of customers.

The Strange Case of Yalçin Yalman: The Man Behind The Kumburgaz, Turkey UFO Videos
July 11th, 2024The Yalçin Yalman situation is like everything in ufology: It’s a confusing and frustrating morass.
Every time I see the videos, with all the shaking, I mumble outload, “Stop touching the camera. Why are you touching the camera?”
Imagine, setting up a good quality camera with a long lens on a tripod to take video of a UFO… And when the thing appears, you proceed to touch and shake the rig the entire time. The objects were stationary. He could have left the focus at infinity in manual mode, zoomed all the way in and then observed through the viewfinder without touching the camera. All of that shaking would have been eliminated.
Also, where are the original tapes? They’re gone, of course. Where else would they be?
*groan*
Anyway, Dr. Roger Leir, who I consider credible, was present while Yalman was recording during one of the sightings and claims to have witnessed the object in the viewfinder.
So, I don’t know.
What do you think of Yalman’s videos?

Via: New York Times:
Under siege from fellow Democrats, President Joe Biden’s campaign is quietly testing the strength of Vice President Kamala Harris against former President Donald Trump in a head-to-head survey of voters, as Biden fights for his political future with a high-stakes news conference Thursday.
The survey, which is being conducted this week and was commissioned by the Biden campaign’s analytics team, is believed to be the first time since the debate that Biden’s aides have sought to measure how the vice president would fare at the top of the ticket. It was described by three people who are informed about it and insisted on anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the information. They did not specify why the survey was being conducted or what the campaign planned to do with the results.
The effort, which comes as a growing number of prominent lawmakers call for Biden to step aside or suggest he should reconsider his plans to run, indicates that his campaign may be preparing to wade into a debate that has consumed the Democratic Party behind closed doors: whether Biden should step aside for his vice president.

Australia: Judge in COVID Vaccine Case Did Not Disclose Past Links to Pfizer Before Dismissing Case Against Pfizer
July 10th, 2024Just another day at the office…
Via: Sky:
As recounted in a detailed article by eminent law Professors Augusto Zimmermann and Gabriël Moens, in ‘Re Dr Julian Fidge v Pfizer Australia Pty Ltd & Anor’, injunctions were sought in the Federal Court against Pfizer and Moderna on the basis that they failed to apply for necessary licences to deal with Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) in Australia under the Commonwealth Gene Technology Act 2000 (GT Act).
Dr Fidge sought to present evidence showing the mRNA vaccines produced by Pfizer and Moderna objectively satisfy the legal definitions of GMOs, pursuant to section 10 of the Act.
If this were the case, the court then had to consider the question whether Pfizer and Moderna had knowingly breached the GT Act.
If the court so found, then Pfizer and Moderna would be prevented from further using their mRNA COVID vaccines in Australia.
The judge hearing the matter, Helen Rofe, found in favour of Pfizer and Moderna, dismissing Dr Fidge’s case on the grounds that it had no prospects of success since he is not an “aggrieved person” for the purposes of section 147 of the GT Act.
This is where the matter gets intriguing.
To avoid any reasonable apprehension of bias, judges are required to consider whether having acted for one of the parties appearing before them in the past ought to be disclosed.
However, the law firm representing Dr Fidge alleges that at no stage either prior to or during the hearing of the case, did Justice Rofe disclose that, while practising as a barrister, she seemingly both directly and indirectly represented Pfizer in at least five separate and long-running matters.
As Zimmermann and Moens affirm, the rules regarding judicial bias require that, when a judge has had prior dealings with one or more parties to proceedings, he or she is obliged to consider disclosing all details and inviting the parties to make submissions on whether that judge should recuse him or herself from the proceedings.

Polish Army Chief: “We Need to Prepare Our Forces for Full-Scale Conflict”
July 10th, 2024Via: Reuters:
Poland needs to prepare its soldiers for all-out conflict, its armed forces chief of staff said on Wednesday, as the country boosts the number of troops on its border with Russia and Belarus.
Poland’s relations with Russia and its ally Belarus have deteriorated sharply since Moscow sent tens of thousands of troops into neighbouring Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022, starting a war that is still being fought.
“Today, we need to prepare our forces for full-scale conflict, not an asymmetric-type conflict,” army chief of staff General Wieslaw Kukula told a press conference.
“This forces us to find a good balance between the border mission and maintaining the intensity of training in the army,” he said.
Speaking at the same event, deputy defence minister Pawel Bejda said that as of August, the number of troops guarding Poland’s eastern border would be increased to 8,000 from the current 6,000, with an additional rearguard of 9,000 able to step up within 48 hours notice.
