"if you cannot tell if something is a ploy or prevarication, assume it is and place little faith in it until you have reason to."

Cue the drones over New Jersey!

At this point, every story like this I assume to be setting the stage for blame to be assigned to a foreign "enemy" (Iran most likely) to start building the case for war. Take as an example the stories that Fox loves to pop up occasionally about Iranian "hit squads" targeting Trump. Really? If we know these hit squads exist, I presume that means we have some suspected members of said squads. So why aren't their pictures being displayed around the clock the way Luigi Mangione's was? Oh I know why, because the whole story is bullshit. BUT, should someone take a shot at Trump, hit or miss, you can bet that will be the leading speculation. "It's the Iranians, this is an act of war, time to send Johnny marching off to the sandbox to get us some Muzzies."
