Trump assassination: The Deep State is trying to smear Iran!
The Deep State wants Americans to hate Iran, especially MAGA supporters of Israel
I ran into a ridiculous story in today’s NY Post. The Deep State is attempting to indirectly link Trump’s near-assassination with a guy who supposedly has connections to Iran:
A Pakistani man with alleged ties to Iran plotted to hire hitmen to assassinate former President Donald Trump and other US politicians, according to sources and a federal criminal complaint.
Asif Merchant, 46, is accused of planning political assassinations in New York City in August or early September, and paid men he believed to be contract killers advance payments of $5,000, according to US Attorney for the Eastern District of New York Breon Peace.
Trump was among several current and former US government officials believed to be potential targets of the plot, a source familiar with the investigation told The Post.
And here is the most ridiculous part:
The next month as he was preparing to leave the US on July 12, he was arrested.
After being detained, Merchant revealed that he had a wife and children living in Iran, and also a wife and children living in Pakistan, according to prosecutors.
One of Merchant’s homes is in the Iranian capital of Tehran, according to prosecutors.
Merchant’s alleged Iran-backed plot played a role in the Secret Service agreeing to bolster former president Donald Trump’s security detail before the July assassination attempt, sources told The Post.
Authorities said Iranian-tied plot is unrelated to the attempt on Trump’s life by Thomas Crooks, who opened fire from a roof top in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Take note of that last line, they are trying to maintain some shred of credibility by noting that this guy wasn’t connected to Crooks. But that doesn’t matter, does it? The headline reads as follows:
“Pakistani national with ties to Iran tried to hire hitmen to potentially assassinate Trump, other US politicians: feds”
That will be what echoes across the regime media chamber, the last line where they deny a connection to Crooks will be ignored and eventually forgotten entirely. They want to associate Iran with Trump’s near-assassination in the minds of millions of American retards, who will simply think: Iran is a bad guy and wanted to kill Trump! 🙄
So the guy has a wife, kids, and a house in Iran? How does that implicate the Iranian government? What motivation would Iran have for killing Trump or other American officials in such a ham-handed and stupid way? Does anybody believe a wife and house are any sort of proof of Iranian involvement in a plot to kill Trump?
The timing of this story is also highly suspicious. Israel’s assassination of a top Hamas official in Tehran has put Iran in a very bad spot: Iran must retaliate against Israel to preserve their credibility on the world stage, and the US regime knows this. They are waiting for Iran to attack, and they are launching a preemptive media offensive against the Iranians.
So when Iran’s attack on Israel finally comes, you can bet that people will conflate Iran with the attempt to kill Trump, regardless of the Deep State’s denial about it being linked to Crooks. The message to the American public is simple: IRAN IS THE BAD GUY! HATE IRAN! HATE IRAN! HATE IRAN!
Many of Trump’s followers are MAGA boomers who already believe the bullshit propaganda that “Israel is muh greatest ally!” and “The US must defend Israel at all costs!” So the narrative that Iran was scheming to kill Trump and other officials will be eaten up by Trump supporters, who are already predisposed to distrust and dislike anything associated with Iran.
Merchant strikes me as yet another loser entrapped by the Deep State. I’d love to see the file they have on him and how they manipulated him into thinking he could kill Trump or other US officials. The Deep State always has guys like this and Crooks in play, and these fools are used as pawns whenever the Deep State needs them. It would not surprise me to find that Merchant and Crooks were both groomed by the FBI and/or CIA.
You have to give it to the Deep State, they know how to run an effective media campaign to manipulate the MAGA crowd. Some of them will now simply associate Iran with the attempt to kill Trump, so when the Iranians finally attack Israel, they will immediately be perceived as the bad guys. Talk about manufacturing consent for the neocon’s desire to go to war with Iran!
Also take note of this line in the NY Post article:
Merchant’s alleged Iran-backed plot played a role in the Secret Service agreeing to bolster former president Donald Trump’s security detail before the July assassination attempt, sources told The Post.
Have you ever read such obvious bullshit in your life? How exactly did the SS agree to “bolster” Trump’s security detail in July before the attempted assassination? Crooks came within one head turn of killing Trump! How was Trump’s security detail bolstered? In what ways? 🙄
Some of you might think I’m exaggerating by calling this story a Deep State attempt to smear Iran, but that’s exactly what it is, and you should not be surprised by it. The Iranians are going to attack Israel soon, and the Deep State will want to rally as many Americans as possible around the US’ involvement in a war in the Middle East on behalf of Israel. The MAGA crowd is a prime target for the Deep State’s psyops bullshit, and this story is part of that effort to manipulate the public into hating Iran.
One thing is certain: The Deep State is going to step up its anti-Iranian propaganda machine in the days ahead. When Iran attacks Israel for the assassination of the Hamas official, the regime is going to unleash even more anti-Iran hate in its media. Get ready for a barrage of “Iran is the devil!” type stories across the regime media landscape.

Morgthorak - they even used a couple of their patented slogans - "alleged ties to" and "according to sources" They are keeping "experts agree" in reserve for later.
As if the US Government hasn't sent Army and Marine Snipers into other countries to take out political leaders and military operatives. Iran doesn't need to hire people to attempt to assassinate the ex/next president. There are enough socialist/leftists/Communists in our own country that would do it for free.
We need to eradicate the deep state and trim the government down to size. There are too many people who have no allegiance to the flag or this country running things they don't need to run.
