United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken remarked on Friday that the relevant parties are “inside the 10-yard line and driving toward the goal line on getting an agreement that would produce a ceasefire, get the hostages home and put us on a better track to trying to build lasting peace and stability.” Speaking at the Aspen Security Forum, Blinken reminded the audience that both Israel and Hamas greenlighted a framework for a deal presented by Washington., and are currently working out the remaining problems. Even though the deal seems to be within reach, Blinken cautioned that “the last 10 yards are often the hardest.”
Possibilty of a Second Shooter…….. 3D Analysis
Catalin Grigoras and Cole Whitecotton said
An audio forensic analysis conducted by experts from the National Center for Media Forensics at the University of Colorado in Denver suggests the possibility of a second shooter in the incident that took place in Butler. Catalin Grigoras and Cole Whitecotton said, “The first three shots were consistent with alleged weapon A, the next five were consistent with alleged weapon B, and the final ‘acoustic impulse’ was emitted by a possible weapon C.” While one of the shooters has been identified and another was a Secret Service sniper, the identity of the third potential shooter remains unknown. As per a substack by Stephen Bryen, former deputy undersecretary of defense, despite the FBI’s assertion that the identified shooter acted alone, this controversial audio forensic analysis raises questions that warrant further investigation and peer review. Beyond the audio forensics, other aspects of the incident require attention.
The initial burst of gunfire originated from the identified shooter’s location. A second burst was detected from an unclear location, distinct from the first. Additionally, there may have been a third shooter who fired a single shot. Forensic acoustic experts propose the involvement of at least two shooters, excluding the Secret Service snipers, Bryen wrote in his substack “Weapons and strategy”. Moreover, the exact number of shots fired by the Secret Service snipers on the rooftop behind Trump is unknown. Most reports indicate that it took only one shot to neutralize the shooter. The agents, equipped with sophisticated sniper weapons—one mounted on a tripod and another on a small stand for a prone shot—are believed to have fired after the shooter initiated gunfire. However, this sequence does not entirely match the acoustic evidence. The evidence suggests that the final single shot, if confirmed, may have been fired by the snipers, resulting in the shooter’s death by a single headshot, Bryen said. “The Secret Service sniper(s) did their job, but there are still questions about the timing as the threat could have been eliminated much sooner and lives perhaps could have been saved. Bullets flying around the shooter but not instantly killing him also could have been a partial deterrent,” Bryen wrote. A solid FBI investigation with Congressional oversight is necessary to ensure a thorough and unbiased investigation. The FBI possesses the forensic capabilities required to conduct a proper investigation, but strong leadership and oversight are essential to prevent a sloppy or politically biased review.
Shocking Video Shows Trump Miracle….. Trump’s Hit Man Thomas Crooks flew drone over Pa. rally site
Trump Turned his head to look at this immigration poster.
Please note: The Biden Bullseye hitman shot at Trump 3 times hitting his ear and missed twice more.
Trump’s would-be assassin Thomas Crooks flew drone over Pa. rally site hours before deadly shooting
Donald Trump’s 20-year-old would-be assassin used a drone to aerially scope out the Pennsylvania fairgrounds ahead of the Republican presidential nominee’s speech hours as part of his sinister plot last weekend, according to a report. Shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks programmed the drone to fly over the Butler Farm Showgrounds before his assassination attempt on the former president, 78, law enforcement officials briefed on the incident said. Investigators also believe he flew the remotely piloted aircraft around the campaign rally site more than once as he mapped out the course of the attack, further adding to the Secret Service’s stunning failure to protect Trump. He had reportedly staked the farm out days before Trump arrived and is believed to have also used a bike to explore the vast grounds of the Butler County Farm Show.
Investigators later found a pair of homemade bombs fitted with a receiver that appeared to be designed to be set off via remote control in his car parked close to the grounds, along with a ballistic vest and three 30-round magazines in it.
Police became suspicious of Crooks more than an hour earlier when they saw him milling about the edge of the crowd with a range finder and a backpack, with the Secret Service designating him as a “threat” 10 minutes before Trump took the stage.
Despite being labeled as a “character of suspicion,” and people screaming and reporting to police a man with gun on the unprotected roof top the former president was still allowed to speak.
NN: It was a Hit….. Obviously a inside job.
JP Morgan Says Global Oil Inventories Continue to Record Strong Draws
In a research note by the JPM Commodities Research team late said global observable oil inventories continue to record strong draws in July.
“Global observable oil inventories (crude and products) drew by 18 million barrels in the second week of July, driven by a 30 million barrel draw in crude while product inventories built by 12 million barrels,” the analysts stated in the research note.
“Through the first two weeks of July, global observable oil inventories have drawn by 32 million barrels, more than three times faster than our implied balances show for the month,” they added. “The acceleration is likely helping to offset our miss in June, where oil inventories built by 19 million barrels vs an implied draw of 31 million barrels,” the analysts went on to state. In the note, the J.P. Morgan analysts highlighted that, “reported visible OECD commercial oil stocks (U.S., Europe, Japan, and Singapore) … reported a slight build of two million barrels during the second week of July”. The analysts stated that an outsized build of 15 million barrels in U.S. products, driven by travel disruption from hurricane Beryl, offset draws that occurred in every other reported figure for the week. “Despite the build, reported OECD inventories are now fully aligned with our implied OECD commercial oil inventories for the month of July,” the analysts went on to state.
In a research note on July 10, J.P. Morgan analysts said global observable oil inventories drew by four million barrels in the first week of July, “with an eight million barrel draw in crude somewhat offset by a four million barrel build in products”. “Within the crude draw, the U.S. and China were responsible for a combined 19 million barrel draw in the first week of July,” the analysts said in that note. Also in that note, the J.P. Morgan analysts revealed that, “reported visible OECD commercial oil stocks (U.S., Europe, Japan and Singapore) … built by six million barrels in the first week of July”. “By split, crude oil inventories built by three million barrels while products built by an additional three million barrels, countering our expectations of stock draws continuing throughout July,” the analysts added. “While this is only the first week of reported data for the month, sizeable crude builds of 4.2 million barrels in Japan and a U.S. product build of six million barrels drove a majority of the overall build across reported OECD oil inventories,” they continued. In this note, the J.P. Morgan analysts said that, “despite draws starting to materialize in weekly inventory data, overall June oil inventory stock changes reflect mixed results”. “For the month of June, OECD commercial oil stocks drew by 14 million barrels, in line with our expectations of a 13 million barrel draw,” they added. “Meanwhile, global observable oil inventories built by 11 million barrels vs our expectations of a 34 million barrel draw, largely driven by Chinese re-stocking of 26 million barrels,” they went on to state. In a note on June 26, J.P. Morgan analysts noted that global observable oil inventories drew by 27 million barrels in the third week of June, “turning June’s total stock change to a net 2.5 million barrel draw through three weeks of reported data”. “By split, global crude stocks declined by 29 million barrels week over week last week, while product inventories built by two million barrels. Global crude oil inventories have drawn by a combined 64 million barrels since April, in line with our expectations of global refinery runs increasing by 3.5 million barrels per day from April through August,” they added. “With that, global oil stocks have now fully aligned with our implied balances for June,” they went on to note. The J.P. Morgan analysts highlighted in that research note that OECD commercial oil inventories continued to run above their implied balances, “the majority of that in the United States”. “Reported visible OECD commercial oil stocks (U.S., Europe, Japan and Singapore) built by 6.9 million barrels in the third week of June, as U.S. oil inventories swelled by 8.2 million barrels and now sit at the highest level since February 2021,” they added. “U.S. Gulf Coast accounted for about 40 percent of the build, with crude exports falling by 500,000 barrels per day week over week, impacted by the storm [tropical storm Alberto],” they continued.

Israel believes drone used by Houthis Iranian-made
Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) spokesperson Daniel Hagari claimed on Tuesday that the drone used by Yemeni Houthis in the recent assault in central Israel’s Tel Aviv was an Iranian Samad-3 UAV that had been upgraded to be able to fly from Yemen to Israel. “Our defense is not airtight,” he said while adding that another drone had been intercepted by the joint American-Israeli task force. However, Hagari mentioned that the IDF is investigating why the other unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was not recognized as a threat. “The signs are increasing as to the success of the elimination of Muhammed Deif [Hamas No. 2],” he concluded.
