Turkish officials suspect that the Israelis fabricated the intelligence report that alleged Iran planned to assassinate US President Donald Trumpf during the Ankara NATO summit last month to undermine negotiations with Tehran.

Turkish security services arrested no suspects, found no evidence, or even traces of a MANPADS launcher or assassin in that super-secure area around Ankara's airport. The CIA -- purged and DOGE-ed of experienced analysts -- fell for the Israeli trap, but not the Turkish MIT.

    Israeli intelligence used previous alleged IRGC-QF threat reporting as the genesis to put this wacky MANPADS threat into US channels to scotch peace talks with Tehran.

    The Israeli chicanery worked.

    And it also humiliated Dummkopf Trumpf who had to secrete his massive girth inside a smelly catering container to escape a non-existent threat.

    I hope Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan calls Dummkopf Trumpf to tell him that Bibi made a monkey out of him.

    *** Iran Knew of Details of Trumpf's Visit to Ankara ***

    "The Iranian threat that prompted Dummkopf Trumpf's secret Air Force One swap last month emerged as he was heading into his last day at the NATO summit in Turkey on 8 July.

    According to two US officials with knowledge of the threat, US intelligence picked up multiple streams of information. They knew that there was a specific threat of a surface-to-air missile against Air Force One, meaning whichever plane was carrying the president, and that someone in the vicinity of the NATO summit had been spotted with a shoulder-fired missile. And the Iranians knew specifically where Mr. Trumpf was staying in Ankara, including which floor of the building.

    The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the intelligence related to the threat.

    The information was deemed sufficiently credible to lead Mr. Trumpf and senior members of his junta to engage in an extraordinary decoy effort to get him out of Turkey. He boarded the older Air Force One in front of the cameras, which he had announced he would be taking "for old time's sake," before sneaking off in an airport catering container and taking a military jet out of the country.

    Dummkopf Trumpf has been the target of Iranian plots in the past. He was grazed by a would-be assassin's bullet while campaigning in Butler, PA in 2024 and targeted by another armed man at his Florida golf course later that year. Those two assassination attempts were unrelated to the Iranian threats.

    But a man was convicted in connection with a murder-for-hire plot against Mr. Trumpf that was uncovered by the Biden administration. That plot was said to be led by Iranians, using a proxy force."

    Lots of people in NYC knew where Benjamin Netanyahu was staying for UNGA last year, causing the Israeli Shin Bet to make different arrangements for his sulfuric visit next month.

    If someone was spotted near the NATO summit with a MANPADS weapon, the Turkish security services would have found him/her by now.

    Let's see if the TNP makes an arrest soon or they request the extradition of someone from Iran or elsewhere.

    Kansas has some of the most permissive gun ownership laws in the US, not regulating semi-automatic firearms, so-called "assault weapons," "large capacity magazines," "ghost guns," bump stocks, or similar items.

    There are no requirements for licenses to purchase handguns and no firearms registration.

    In an average year, 482 people die by guns in the Jayhawk State; 68% of gun deaths in Kansas are by gun suicide. Kansas ranks 22nd nationally for mental health services in 2024, improving from 51st in 2022.

    Nationally, 46,686 people die by firearms in an average year, a rate of 13.8 deaths per 100,000 people or one every eleven minutes.

    Hi Corky

    This is a preamble to martial law, as Americans are becoming accustomed to seeing armed soldiers in our capital and other locations.


    Where the ARNG doesn't deploy, ICE Sturmabteilung will.

    This is a technique used by JFK during civil unrest in some southern states where Dixiecrat governors couldn't contain the violence. To avoid the appearance of another "Reconstruction," but wanting order restored, USAG RFK deployed DUSMs.

    See, not uniformed soldiers:

    How's retirement and political exile been for you two?


    Enjoying your historic, mouth-watering $417,000 annual pension, Joe? I'm sure you're medically well covered for your chemo treatments.

    Anyway, since you asked, the rest of us in Amerikkka have been having a real ball, you know?

    Besides the BBB, people are unable to buy toilet paper, we are stuck in another "Forever War," and now armed and masked ICE thugs will have electro-shock torture gloves for the "tonks" or Samaritans standing in their way.

    Well Joe, at least you got 140 Israeli hostages released in Gaza because that was the 24/7 non-stop drumbeat we all heard during the 2024 election campaign.
