Manifesto Released: He Believed All the Lies the Democrats Now Claim They Never Said
Hot Air ^ | 26 Apr, 2026 | David Strom

Posted on 04/27/2026 7:06:39 AM PDT by MtnClimber

As I spent the evening scouring the internet for information on the assassination attempt last night, I ran across a ton of posts from lefties claiming that it was either staged—a fan favorite—or that the motive might never be known.

Hasan Piker was quite angry that people pointed out that he, just the other day, talked about harnessing the left's assassination fantasies as a way to organize followers.

That is a fairly common theme in the social media posts of leftists, as are complaints that the various people who have tried to kill Trump don't have good enough aim. And, contrary to what you might hear, that sentiment is held by many in the political establishment of the Democratic Party.

HOLY CR*P 🚨 This brewery called Minocqua Brewing Company in Wisconsin upset that Donald Trump didn’t get assassinated tonight is owned by Kirk Bangstad

Kirk Bangstad is a Democrat who ran for Wisconsin State Assembly

He founded a Democrat Super PAC that raised millions to support Democratic politicians, judges and liberal causes

He sued to keep Trump off Wisconsin ballots.

He was a candidate for the state assembly, the current candidate for the US House of Representatives in Wisconsin's third district worked for him, and he runs a super PAC that raises millions for Democrats.

“DoJ and even the US military to start raiding and arresting the NGOs behind all this”

I expect this to start happening in 2027 when mid term elections are over.

Before I pursued a doctorate in STEM profession, I was the charge nurse of a psychiatric unit. The many schizophrenic patients with whom I engaged would have been completely incapable of writing a manifesto or planning an assassination.

My assessment:
This man is not schizophrenic, even if his lawyers claim that he is.

I don’t think he’s mentally ill either. He’s so propagandized he’s lost his grasp of objective reality, which may look like schizophrenia to some. One of the chief aims of propaganda is to get people to do things they normally would not do.

All one has to do is read his manifesto to see how twisted Allen's mind became by the media. It's full of references to all the misinformation that the left and the LAAP-dog media has been putting out.

  1. "I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes."

    Allen is clearly referring to the Epstein files, the E. Jean Carroll trial, and the Mueller investigation/Steele Dossier.

  2. "I’m not the person raped in a detention camp."

    This is in reference to illegal alien detainees in ICE holding facilities. Allen is likely referring to the Otay Mesa detention center in San Diego that for-profit prison contractor CoreCivic runs. There were seven reported rapes at the facility that the county turned over to CoreCivic to investigate.

  3. "I’m not the fisherman executed without trial."

    This refers to Operation Southern Spear, the military operation that is targeting Venezuelan drug-running boats in the Caribbean Sea.

    The "fisherman," Alejandro Carranza Medina, had a documented criminal record that directly contradicts the pure-fisherman narrative. Colombia's El Tiempo reported that in 2015 Carranza "was allegedly involved in the theft of 264 weapons from the Santa Marta Metropolitan Police", and El País stated the alleged perpetrator "accepted charges of conspiracy to commit a crime, embezzlement, falsification of public documents, and aggravated theft".

  4. "I’m not a schoolkid blown up"

    This probably refers to the Iran missile strike that hit a school in Iran that was on an IRGC military facility, the Sayyid al-Shuhada military complex, headquarters of the Asif Brigade of the IRGC Navy. The school was a decommisioned military building that was converted to a school, but targeting intelligence still listed it as a military objective. That's "fog of war", not an intentional act or war crime.

  5. "a child starved"

    This refers to Gaza resident Mohammed Zakaria al-Mutawaq, whose emaciated photo was shown on the front page of The New York Times in July 2025 under the headline "Young, Old and Sick Starve to Death in Gaza: There Is Nothing" with the caption noting he was "born healthy". The truth that the Times was later forced to acknowledge was that the child suffered from cerebral palsy, hypoxemia. They also failed to disclose that the photo deliberately cropped out his older brother, who appeared visibly healthy and well-nourished, standing next to him.

  6. "teenage girl abused by the many criminals in this administration"

    This is in reference to the Epstein "client list," the calls for the release of the Epstein files, and President Trump's objections that were framed as protection and obstruction. The facts are different from the media framing.

    The SDNY FBI Office under James Dennehy lied to incoming Attorney General Pam Bondi when he sent 200 pages of documents and declared that to be the entirety of the FBI files. A whistleblower told the DoJ that there were tens of thousands of documents still held in the SDNY office, and Bondi raided the office the next day and siezed the withheld files.

    Trump wasn't covering up anything, he was saying they needed to protect the identities of the victims, and needed to review all the new documents to redact identifying information. The Democrats framed this as cover-up and obstruction.

  7. "Turning the other cheek when *someone else* is oppressed is not Christian behavior; it is complicity in the oppressor’s crimes."

    Allen refers to the progressive oppressor/oppressed worldview here, which shows the narrative frame he's adopted.

  8. "Objection 4: As a half-black, half-white person, you shouldn’t be the one doing this."

    Allen is adopting the left's race and identity politics frame.

  9. "The United States of America are ruled by the law, not by any one or several people. In so far as representatives and judges do not follow the law, no one is required to yield them anything so unlawfully ordered."

    This is a rich comment, so I will focus mostly on the "judges" aspect.

    Allen is likely referring to the high-profile Supreme Court and other cases that went President Trump's way and infuriated progressives:

    • Dobbs v. Jackson (2022): Overturning Roe v. Wade
    • Trump v. Anderson (2024): The ballot access ruling barring states from using the 14th Amendment's insurrectionist clause against Trump.
    • Trump v. United States (2024): The presidential immunity ruling

    • Fischer v. United States (2024): Reduced obstruction charge against J6 defendants
    • Trump v. CASA, Inc. (June 2025): Limited nationwide injunctions
    • DOGE rulings and the shutdown of USAID and NPR/PBS funding
    • SCOTUS ruling on partisan redistricting and the Texas redistricting
    • Dismissal of the Jack Smith cases
    • Dismissal of the Fani Willis case in Georgia
    • DoJ prosecution of Letitia James for mortgage fraud
    • Trump appointments of interim US Attorneys to prosecute James Comey, Leticia James, and LaMonica McIver, that were overturned by judges as abuse of the appointments clause, despite Democrats creating permanent vacancies in the first place.

Cole Allen's so-called "manifesto" is an inventory of misleading media reporting by CNN, MSNBC, and the broadcast and print media that misrepresented the facts in order to demonize Trump, and Allen absorbed and internalized all of it.

The woke liberl Democrat TDS cult routinely claims Trump is a traitor, a fascist, a dicator, an existential threat, worse than Hitler.

We’ve seen that to some minuscule but non-zero number of people, it’s not expressive, it’s literal, and they think they have a responsibility to “save us” from it. This kind of rhetoric leads them to believe that, even if it’s not what’s meant. And their cult KNOWS that. And they keep saying it.

Either you really believe he’s “worse than Hitler” or you don’t. If you actually do, then condemning attempts to kill him ring hollow and seem phony. No matter how many pretzel twists you do to make it not that way.

But you know that others are going to take you literally when you say it, so if you don’t believe it and you say it anyway, you need to stop because you’re going to get someone killed, and if you don’t stop, we’ll assume you’re OK with that. Either stop saying it or shut up when the inevitable result happens.

If you’re calling him Hitler and/or a traitor and/or an existential threat, then you have no moral standing to condemn the inevitable result of that rhetoric and you need to sit this one out.

And the Democrat cult says that 24/7/365.
