Intelligence reports claiming Iran placed Donald Trump on a hit list are being viewed with skepticism by some analysts who suggest it may be a narrative distraction. Trump has used his Truth Social platform to insinuate that the security failures in Butler may have been an "inside job." Comparisons are being drawn to the JFK assassination, with concerns that files will remain classified for decades.
Sir Atomic Rod is seeking a "No Agenda" artist to create a "smoking gun" image for his blog, Atomic Insights. The image is intended to illustrate the relationship between competitors who discourage the use of nuclear energy.
Jared Kushner, Saudi Hit List Allegations, Joaquin Castro
Texas Representative Joaquin Castro suggests on CNN that Jared Kushner may have provided a "hit list" of enemies to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman using U.S. intelligence. The claim is met with skepticism regarding its sourcing, though Castro insists the timeline of intelligence sharing between the White House and the Saudi government requires a formal investigation by the House Intelligence Committee.
Hillary Clinton Hit List, 2016 Presidential Strategy
RNC Chairman Reince Priebus has begun attacking Hillary Clinton's "authenticity," questioning if she has a "pure heart" for service. These attacks coincide with reports of a "hit list" maintained by Clinton's 2008 campaign, which tracked political colleagues deemed "traitors." High-ranking Democrats like John Kerry and the late Edward Kennedy reportedly received the "blackest of black marks" on this list.
Cheerleader Hit Lists, Pre-Crime and Lonely Crazies
A news report about Arizona cheerleaders creating a "hit list" on Instagram is dismissed as an overreaction to typical teenage behavior. This is contrasted with a trend in the Netherlands where authorities are monitoring "lonely crazies" (*eenzaam gekke*) on 4chan ahead of the Queen's abdication. The hosts characterize these actions as a move toward "pre-crime" law enforcement.
Reports of an Al-Qaeda "wish list" targeting British private schools like Eton and 40-50 American individuals are dismissed as a media fabrication. The hosts predict that media figures like Wolf Blitzer or Anderson Cooper will use the existence of such a list to boost their own ratings. They argue that being on a "terrorist hit list" has become a status symbol for journalists seeking to establish their importance.
Anwar al-Awlaki CIA Hit List, American Citizen Targeted
The CIA has reportedly placed Anwar al-Awlaki, a Muslim cleric born in New Mexico, on a target list for drone strikes. This marks the first time a U.S. citizen has been officially targeted for assassination by the agency. The hosts mock the idea that "lawyers vet the killing" to ensure it is legally acceptable to execute a citizen without trial.
Internal memos from Merck revealed a "hit list" intended to discredit and destroy doctors who refused to prescribe the painkiller Vioxx, which was later linked to heart attacks and strokes. Former Merck CEO Raymond V. Gilmartin, who oversaw the company during this period, now serves on the board of directors at Microsoft. The hosts criticize the lack of accountability for corporate executives involved in such scandals.
