I brought it up :-)

As I posted in this Note (https://substack.com/@margaretannaalice/note/c-61952733):

Don’t forget about Teddy Roosevelt, who survived an assassination attempt on October 14, 1912, because of the 50-page manuscript for his speech in his coat pocket. He delivered his speech before attending to the bullet wound, beginning:

“Friends, I shall ask you to be as quiet as possible. I don’t know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot. It takes more than that to kill a bull moose. Fortunately I had my manuscript, so you see I was going to make a long speech, and there is a bullet—there is where the bullet went through—and it probably saved me from it going into my heart. The bullet is in me now, so I cannot make a very long speech, but I will try my best.… I give you my word, I do not care a rap about being shot; not a rap.” (https://www.history.com/news/shot-in-the-chest-100-years-ago-teddy-roosevelt-kept-on-talking)

He was running under his third party (the Progressive Party, a.k.a. the Bull Moose Party). This was just a few months after he had uttered these dangerous words in his “Progressive Covenant with the People” speech:

“Political parties exist to secure responsible government and to execute the will of the people. From these great staffs, both of the old parties have ganged aside. Instead of instruments to promote the general welfare they have become the tools of corrupt interests which use them in martialling [sic] to serve their selfish purposes. Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To destroy this invisible government, to befoul the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of the day.”

As I shared several months ago in this Substack Note (https://substack.com/@margaretannaalice/note/c-52757995), you can actually hear a recording of Teddy reading that speech here:

You did! Well done. I read up on assassinations tonight. I got bored with all the angles and talking points about July 13...

Haha, I know what you mean.

I don’t normally do hot takes, but I had a premonition yesterday and decided to document it, mainly in hopes of heading it off by raising awareness about the possibility if there is anything to it (https://x.com/MargaretAnnaAl1/status/1812522639438836146https://substack.com/@margaretannaalice/note/c-61962841):

I can’t help wondering if yesterday’s assassination attempt is the first act in a play, where the next act will involve a Trump supporter successfully assassinating Biden, having been serenely plotted by strategists like those in this “Network” scene:

https://youtube.com/watch?v=wr-TychE8Vk

It’s a win-win-win for the cruelites:

1) They get rid of Biden without the political cost of losing face.

2) Biden becomes a martyr who can no longer be criticized and can be used to serve the greater cause.

3) The DNC can replace him with their preferred puppet.

4) They can still rig the election without it looking suspicious.

5) The Trump supporter (and by association, Trump) are vilified as far-right–wing fascist extremists, justifying a ramp-up in the War on Domestic Terrorism.

6) The media make out like bandits on the entertainment value of the unfolding play.

Perhaps we can foil the plot if so many people see this prediction, they know they won’t be able to get away with it.

——

Regardless of what people think of my hypothesis, I urge EVERYONE to watch the “Network” clip linked above because few scenes (or movies, for that matter, hence my making it my first film recommendation: https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/recommendations-roundup-1-predicting) are more relevant to what we have been living through.

Yeah, except Trump supporters have been baited since 2015, and despite the manufactured hysteria, very little violence has ensued. Everyone knows this game--that's my opinion.

I have written 50-pages long substack comments, but have not committed the atrocity of forcing a captive audience to listen me reading them aloud. Maybe that's why I still haven't been shot, but who knows what tomorrow will bring our way, right? hawr hawr hawr ::Laughs in Rooseveltian dialect::

Freud diagnosed Wilson as a narcissistic, closeted homosexual, so the letters may have been to a man. He vowed to keep America out of foreign wars, but brought us into a bloodbath of empires. Then couldn't compromise with Senate to pass his precious League of Nations.

good old fearless Freud.

the miracle was talk, unfettered, and respect for the irrational -- Freud is now dismissed, ignored by behavorists and druggists -- and only available in Strachey's mangling translation.

Read Unz' article, but more hearsay than documentary evidence. Those letters could have been to the husband, no way to be certain from that essay. Regardless, Wilson was mostly controlled by Colonel House. His whiplash turn from isolationist to interventionist more determined by our swelling military industrial machine, which Teddy helped feed.

And that election gave us who was, up until recently, arguably the worst president in history.

Expand full comment

So we should ignore the long-term damages caused by Woodrow Wilson, FDR, both Bushes, Obamas, the Clintons, and the Bidens... WOW

Theodore Roosevelt’s presidency is remembered for its progressive reforms, conservation efforts, and foreign policy achievements. He is often credited with setting a new standard for the role of the president and is considered one of the most influential presidents in American history.

Not everyone, obviously, is going to agree - there is a noticeable lack of why you believe your opinion is valid. Do tell...

Dale was referencing Wilson. As the article notes at the end: “Despite his tenacity, Roosevelt ultimately lost his bid for reelection to the Democratic candidate Woodrow Wilson”

what I find interesting is that no-one is really bringing up the 'attempt' on Ford, but I suppose that is because of Squeaky's relationship to Manson- and the obvious MKan of Ultra worms that might bring to mind.

Nice to see it didn't knock off his shoes, like actor Trump's incident seemed to. Funny shoes! Maybe they made shoe laces better a hundred years ago.

SS removed his shoes to check for injuries. Same reason he arose looking dishevelled with the home shirt undone and ruffled hair. They gave to do a quick once over and make sure no further bullets have entered his body.

Lol.

Yes, I too heard the propaganda.

Expand full comment

It’s not propaganda it’s SS protocol and just plain common sense. Bullets have lodged in people showing no external bleeding but caused death or injury minutes or hours later.

NOT EVERYTHING IS PROPAGANDA OR CONSPIRACY THEORY!!! Anything coming from Biden’s side us 100% propaganda and the so called ALLEGED conspiracies spewing from Demonrats mouths, turn out to be 100% THE TRUTH!!!! Say what you like but if Trump does not survive to be president of this corrupt country then AMERICA AS WE KNOW IT WILL BE NO MORE!!! Let common sense prevail!

Expand full comment

Oh, you believe Trump will save the country. Got it.

The SS did not perform according to protocol on many fronts. I won't even bother getting into how badly they did. So claiming protocol this and that on one front, meanwhile they allow a 'shooter' to scale a rooftop in plain sight of a dignitary. LOL. That's just plain silly. That is not protocol.

It is not protocol to sit on the "X" when attacked by an unknown number of assailants, that is plain false. Furthermore, if Trump was shot in multiple places, sitting there for 2 minutes would only make his prognosis worse. they don't remove your freakin' shoes and count your toes. A shooter wouldn't have gone from targeting his head to then shooting through a podium at his feet. That is retarded. Protocol is to move the person asap, and now, to safety.

Meanwhile look here at the 3 smiling/laughing SS agents as soon as Trump stands up to fist pump and expose himself to potentially more shooters. Yeah, cause that makes no sense.

They are smiling with duper's delight.

type in all caps all you want with histrionics. It doesn't mean Trump is going to 'save America'. Goodness gravy. Trump IS the deep state. You will see soon enough.

There's many tells that Trump is on their side. Trump gave Bigpharms $10.6 Trillion dollars, among many many other talking points.

"America as we know it."-

Common sense......is not common. Voting does nothing, if it didn't they wouldn't allow is to do it. Read "Fruit From A Poisonous Tree," by Mel Stamper J.D. It sounds like you really don't know that countries are in fact all corporations and what that means. Trump fully supports people taking death jabs. Not sure how you see him saving Americans.

'America' was dead on arrival the moment the Federal Reserve Bank took hold with its fangs and the good people of this country did nothing to later that trajectory. Nothing can or will ever change until that is addressed.

So long!

The SS were piled on top of Trump removing his shoes (lol) so they could play this little piggy with his toes. That's all they did with his feet. Yes, he couldn't simply tell them if he felt pain in his feet, they had to do a full body check while on the "X". Looooooool.

Did they have x-ray in October 1912? wow!

It's hard to believe.

And the "legally insane" is illegal imprisonment, no matter how much they pretend it's not. He either is guilty of a crime punishable by prison, or not. Anything else is most likely a coverup.

And the article's writing is poor even for Wikipedia. That story deserves a real writer.

Anyway.

Arsenic and Old Lace. A movie by Frank Goat, of 1941. That movie has a character that lampoons Teddy Roosevelt. Two Epsteins are the screenplay writers. In the 1930s probably it was a commonplace to joke about the madness of Roosevelt, and that would explain why the writers picked it up for the comedy. Or maybe it was some Joseph Kesserlring who did it when he wrote the original play. Poor Americans, those years 39-41 were the last days before the war madness stole the culture, which never returned.

It was Wilhelm Roentgen, a Nobel Prize winning physicist who discovered X-rays.

Great story ! Someone should tell Trump so he can follow suit and pull out of his ear a somewhat lesser speech commensurate to the scale of the speaker :- )

The elite wanted Woodrow Wilson to be elected, because they would then be able to blackmail him to achieve their Federal Reserve Bank. See Woodrow Wilson had cheated on his wife while he was at Princeton University, and the elite knew that. President Wilson later came to regret signing the bill: "I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit."
