Picture of suspect on Trump’s Truth Social
Off-Guardian – April 27, 2026
On Saturday night, during the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner, a gunman opened fire. He wasn’t in the same room as Donald Trump at the time, but that is presumed to be his target.
Nobody was killed; one Secret Service agent was hit, but he was allegedly saved from serious damage because the bullet hit his phone.
The failed assassin was disarmed and arrested at the scene. His name, released later, is Cole Tomas Allen, a 31-year-old teacher whose motive was initially said to be “unclear”, but they have since discovered the inevitable “manifesto”.
Apparently, it was because Trump is a “paedophile and a rapist”.
He also, rather helpfully, outlines how an armed extremist was able to get so close. Spoiler Alert: It was hubris and incompetence on behalf of the authorities:
I expected security cameras at every bend, bugged hotel rooms, armed agents every 10 feet, metal detectors out the wazoo.
What I got (who knows, maybe they’re pranking me!) is nothing.
No damn security. Not in transport. Not in the hotel. Not in the event.
Like, the one thing that I immediately noticed walking into the hotel is the sense of arrogance.
I walk in with multiple weapons and not a single person there considers the possibility that I could be a threat.
So that explains that.
Anyway, he appeared in court about an hour ago and was formally charged with the attempted assassination of the President of the United States.
That’s the official story, so far.
It’s fake, of course. It should barely need to be said. The question is to what degree and why.
Certainly, the people present barely seemed concerned, taking the chance to pilfer some bottles of wine or carrying on eating.
In fact, the only interesting or noteworthy aspect of the incident, as yet, is the speed with which people started doubting it.
Within hours, it was popularly thought to be a false flag, and outlets like NBC were already countering it…weakly.
Take this paragraph, for example, from NBC’s “False flag conspiracy theories swirl around White House Correspondents’ dinner attack”:
The speed with which conspiracy theories flowed from Saturday’s event underscore just how common some of these claims have become. While staged or “false flag” attacks do have some historical precedent, they are exceedingly rare. That has not stopped the idea from becoming one of the most common conspiracy theory tropes. In recent years, some on the political right have labeled everything from the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot as a false flag. But that idea has also more recently percolated on the left, particularly around the Butler assassination attempt.
It’s a refutation, sure, but it’s not a good one. Actually acknowledging that false flags even happen is very unusual.
So, is it just a bad argument? Or is it deliberately fuelling speculation via weak refutation?
I guess we’ll see.
But what do you think?
- Was it a real attack or a false flag?
- If it was a false flag, why?
- Will it be intentionally revealed to discredit the Trump admin?
- Will there be a show trial for the accused? Or will he get Oswalded?

Retired CIA Veteran Agent Larry Johnson Believes Trumps Latest Assassination Attempt Was Staged

Any investigation into this would-be assassin should include the question: why was he once photographed wearing a pro-IDF tee shirt?
3rd time lucky? I do not think so. all events leading up to this ‘assassination’ attempt points to a false flag (as before) i.e. Lack of security positioning. Breaching security. rescuing Vance before Trump. the method of transport by train rather than flight where no security exists when boarding with a firearm. The reason? my guess it may have been a message to Trump.
“While staged or “false flag” attacks do have some historical precedent, they are exceedingly rare.”
There you have it– the obligatory limited hangout that is typical for so many of these controlled op articles. Author was doing a competent job exposing another blatantly fake ‘assassination’ attempt, then proceeds to drop the turd in the punchbowl, claiming false flags are rare, or the exception rather than the rule.
This latest ZOG low budget/B movie production is so amateurish, as to not even warrant further comment or dissection.
“whose motive was initially said to be “unclear”
Put the n before the u, and perhaps we’re onto something here…but I doubt it.
“Are we really happy here
With this lonely game we play?
Looking for words to say
Searching but not finding understanding anywhere
We’re lost in a masquerade”
I was mistaken after skimming article too quickly. Comment about false flags as rare was excerpt of NBC comment, not from author of article.
Is it also part of a program to condition us to expect and accept attacks and murders going on all around us? Mass shootings, individual or gang attacks by immigrants, whistleblowers getting suicided, mothers and social critiquers and scientists disappearing or getting killed and presidents ducking again and again… what is the point of the increase in deadly violence, real and pretend?
