following Mike Benz you're flying blind. You're just flying blind. You really wouldn't know what's going on anywhere because almost everything that's in the news is a fake version. Everything that's real is the layer below that and then even if you saw what's happening in the layer below it it would still be, it wouldn't look like anything to you. You have to go to the level below that where you know who the players are. Once you know the history and you know the players then the layer above that makes sense and that's something like reality. The layer above that, the fake layer, is the fake news. That's what we hear. We don't really have access to anything unless you run into a Mike Benz who can tell you who the players are, what the history is and how all those parts connect. If you don't see that you actually know nothing and that's a real hard thing to wrap your head around that your understanding of the world is at zero but it is. It's actually a zero. You're not even close if you don't know who's who and the history of all that stuff especially the intelligence part of it.

But here are some things that Mike Benz points out. I recommend again you see the larger conversation with Benny Johnson. But so the attempt on Trump came soon after the Supreme Court ruling that made it less likely Trump would go to jail. Huh that's sort of a coincidence isn't it? That as soon as the risk of going to jail was substantially lessened, it's not zero but substantially lessened, then suddenly there was an attempt on his actual life. But that could be a coincidence. Interestingly that attempt came just, was it a week or two before the RNC convention where they would have actually picked their candidate? Because what would have happened if the assassination attempt had been successful? Well it'd be too late to run a whole new primary wouldn't it? So maybe somebody would get picked by the delegates and the insiders and the money people and maybe it would be Nikki Haley. Maybe it would be Nikki Haley. I mean she was one of the last ones in the race right? Yeah. Now is that a coincidence?

So the actual assassination attempt was sandwiched between two coincidences that look like really big ones. One they knew he wouldn't go to jail or it was less likely. Two it was exactly the right timing where they could have slotted somebody else in without any kind of a process, you know much the way they did with Harris. Now is that a coincidence that that attempt came exactly in that weird little window where if you were some shadowy organization that wanted to take him out it would have been the perfect timing? Could be a coincidence. You have to watch out because once you form a narrative in your head you will notice that everything fits your narrative. So could confirmation bias explain those two coincidences? Yes it could. Are there any more? Well we found out that this kid learned how to make pipe bombs which turns out to be a favored technique of our undercover people teaching people to become better terrorists and that feels like a big coincidence huh? He also knew how to make pipe bombs. That's sort of suggestive that some American intelligence entity may have taught him but it's also possible he just learned it on the internet or he was just clever and he figured it out. Could it be confirmation bias? It could be. But that would be three coincidences.

And then there's also this question of, I guess there's a new video of the placement of the pipe bomb on January 6. Now this is separate from the assassination attempt. So January 6 we know there was a pipe bomb planted outside some DNC entity. Kamala Harris seemed to have walked past it without any Secret Service problems. It wasn't especially hidden. It was a pipe bomb. There's now video that makes it look like a cop might have placed it. I don't know if that's true. So the whole story about the pipe bomb is being told in a confusing way where I looked into it and I was like I'm not even sure what you're saying and there's some new videos and I looked at them and I said I don't know what these are showing and the description of what's happening isn't really telling me what's happening. So the pipe bomb thing is getting confusing but it did happen at the same time that the people who are sometimes considered insiders on the January 6 thing decided to make their push on the Capitol. So was the pipe bomb part of a conspiracy to make it look like the protesters were more dangerous than they were? I don't know. So that whole story is just really confusing but all these coincidences start to layer together and their Venn diagrams are overlapping. And you know why is this the only assassin in the world who doesn't have social media? You know he didn't leave a note. You know you just keep going. And you know the Secret Service were unusually bad that day. They were replaced by elements of the Department of Homeland Security. So there's just a whole lot of coincidences there. So I don't know what to think about that but certainly it's dirty looking.

Well Tim Walz is getting the creepy guy treatment from a number of notable people. I won't name names but you've probably noticed that on the critic side, the non-Democrat side, a lot of people are having the same visceral reaction to him that I am. Now my visceral reaction is not based on any super knowledge I have of wrongdoing or anything illegal. I have no personal information about anything like that. I just look at him and he's got that John Brennan face. You know John Brennan used to be head of the CIA and whenever he would come on to talk about Trump and Russia collusion which was totally made up by people like John Brennan and when he came on he talked about the Hunter laptop, you know another case, you would just look at his face and you'd say you look like somebody's lying all the time. He's just got this biggest liar face John Brennan does. Now maybe it's just natural. It doesn't mean I'm peering into his soul. I'm just saying he has a face that you would want to cast in a movie of somebody who was a bad guy. And I see the same thing in Tim Walz that he looks like somebody you would cast in a movie of somebody who pretended to be a good guy until you found out he wasn't. It's just a vibe that I just can't shake. Now there are a number of coincidences around his life that I won't get into but everything about this guy just screams there's something we need to know that we don't know.

Anyway here's another Mike Benz thing. I also saw on the Benny Johnson podcast, no I think it was on another podcast it wasn't on that one but he called the issue where the Harris campaign was modifying Google headlines to make it look like it was more positive for the Harris campaign. So they were sponsored ads but if you did a Google search you wouldn't notice that maybe the first ones were paid ads even though they're indicated just with a little indicator but you'd see a whole bunch of positive things that looks like the news loves Kamala Harris or that the news is saying things are very positive for Kamala Harris at least. So they got busted for that and there were lots of examples of them doing it and they admit it but it's not illegal. It's not illegal. It's weaselly but not illegal. Google claims that there was some kind of problem in their system that allowed Harris to get away with it and that they're acting like although it's not illegal they're acting like it wouldn't have happened under their process that they wish had been working I guess. I don't know if you can believe that.

But here's what Benz said that I thought was hilarious. We know that the news in general is fake and we know that Google can game what news you see. So if you start with fake news but then how you see it and the way it's presented is also gamed that's like two levels or two layers of fakeness. One is the news itself and two is deciding which of the fake news or real news yo
