DR Chris Martensen has continued his series of videos explaining his analysis of what we know around the Trump assassination attempt.
Martensen, as our captured video frame shows, has divided facts around the shooting into three categories of certainty – green, blue and red. Green facts are fairly well established, yellow facts need more work and red is various claims without hard evidence, such as the “Trump staged it” theory.
The FBI is still claiming there was one shooter, but Martensen says there’s insufficient evidence to make that claim, especially with audio revealing distinctly different gun shot sounds. There are several hypotheses about the number of shooters.
Martensen presents a systematic approach to solving this crime. The hypotheses are formed on the basis of step 1 (audio, video and pictures), step 2 (begin the analysis and start with what’s solid, resolve mysteries and uncertainties and capture territory) and step 3 (form hypotheses). This is repeated (iterated) until hard facts emerge. This, says Martensen, is the scientific process.
Some of our readers are keen to run with the “Trump staged it” theory, however we suggest it would be a better idea to get some of the basic facts established first. Martensen is also staying away from speculation around crowd characters.
Two of our previous articles looked at some suspicious crowd characters with observations by two behavioural experts. We suggested that the “woman with the phone” could help end a lot of the speculation if she came forward.
As far as we are aware this has not yet happened and as we previously reported, the FBI has denied the woman was one of their agents. Mainstream media, meanwhile, has drastically reduced attention on the event, focusing instead on the Olympics, the Kamala Harris candidacy and Middle East war.
Dr Martensen is an economic researcher, writer and trend forecaster interested in macro trends regarding the economy, energy composition and environment. He did have a Wikipedia entry but was notorious enough to get it deleted twice by the same platform and end up on Wikispooks.
He has a PhD from Duke University in pathology and an MBA from Cornell. He followed up his PhD at Duke with post-doctoral studies in neurotoxicology. More recently he has veered into the economic realm and is well qualified to forensically study situations. He says he spent 12 to 14 hours a day digging into the shooting.
