Questions Swirl Around NYT Photo Showing Bullet Skim Trump’s Head
An iconic image snapped by a New York Times photojournalist at former President Donald Trump’s rally over the weekend raised questions online about his use of an exceptionally high shutter speed during the event.
Two-time Pulitzer Prize winning NYT photographer Doug Mills, formerly with the Associated Press, was right up front at the campaign event in Butler, Penn., Saturday when a gunman opened fire on Trump, grazing his head with a bullet that struck the former president’s right upper ear lobe.
Doug Mills, a New York Times photographer, appeared to capture an image of a bullet streaking past Donald Trump’s head, a former FBI agent said. He took the photo while documenting the rally that turned into an attempt on a former president’s life. https://t.co/nhtORaXDZj pic.twitter.com/32UI1GDcoO

Amidst the chaos, Mills managed to capture a once-in-a-lifetime photo in the milliseconds after the first shot was fired, snapping the moment a bullet intended to kill Trump instead whizzed by his head.
Mills discussed the iconic photo in an interview with CNN’s Kaitlin Collins:

“I was trying to put him between the flag and the podium and photographing there and when he kind of gestured to his right I heard the pops… and then when I saw him grab his ear he kind of winced and immediately went down, I thought, ‘Oh my God, he’s been shot,” Mills told Collins.
He also spoke about the day’s events with MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell:
Mills told Mitchell about the camera settings he used to take the iconic photo, later also revealed by The Times:
Mr. Mills was using a Sony digital camera capable of capturing images at up to 30 frames per second. He took these photos with a shutter speed of 1/8,000th of a second — extremely fast by industry standards.
Fast shutter speeds are typically used to freeze extremely fast motion and capture sharp images without blur.
This would be the perfect setting to capture, say, a subject’s “head exploding,” wrote combat correspondent Michael Yon on X.
Bullet Trace, and interesting matters

It’s nearly 0400 here in Japan. So this is a mind-dump, sans edit:
Interesting on bullet trace — scratching my memories, I do not recall seeing any bullet trace photos from close to 90 degrees from bullet’s flight path. Am not saying it…
“Those are settings I would choose if I were trying to catch extremely fast action. Such as a head exploding,” Yon wrote on X, adding, “Am not suggesting anything at all. Just as a war correspondent…I never cranked shutter that high even for anything. I wanted to keep ISO lower. Other professionals choose other settings.”
Yon elaborated in a subsequent video:

Likewise, another professional photographer voiced questions online about the unusually high shutter speed.
“It is VERY UNUSUAL for a photographer to use 1/8000 shutter speed @ 30 FPS in broad daylight,” commented X user @TPV_John.

UNLESS you are INTENTIONALLY trying to CLEARLY capture something happening VERY FAST.

“UNLESS you are INTENTIONALLY trying to CLEARLY capture something happening VERY FAST.”
“Like a BULLET blowing someone’s head clean off their shoulders in GREAT DETAIL.”
@TPV_John went on to allege the photo proves Mills “KNEW something was going to happen,” claiming, “otherwise there would be NO reason to have camera settings in this configuration in these conditions.”
The post triggered X’s Community Notes fact-check feature, which noted that: “Shutter speed is not just used to capture fast objects. It is also used to turn down the brightness. Since this photo was in full sun, it is common to have a high shutter speed.”
Replying to the user, another photographer claimed, “I’ve done a lot of photography. The only time I’ve ever needed to use 1/8000, ironically, is when I was trying to capture a bullet.”
I’ve done a lot of photography. The only time I’ve ever needed to use 1/8000, ironically, is when I was trying to capture a bullet. Do we know he was using 1/8000?

The strange photo adds to a body of peculiarities surrounding the events of July 13, with many speculating the attempt could have been a Deep State hit job gone awry meant to take out the leader of the MAGA movement.
Mills’ previous work also includes being among a group of photographers that snapped iconic photos of former President George W. Bush when he was reading to youngsters at a school just as he learned the 9/11 attacks took place.
Doug Mills, who took the “one in a million” bullet picture, is the same guy who just happened to be on hand to catch the iconic moment Bush learned about 9/11. Huh. pic.twitter.com/pe2d4M7Ovg

Dynamite! BlackRock, Vanguard Linked To Trump Shooter Building & Company Shorting DJT Stocks
Globalist investment firms BlackRock and Vanguard are suspiciously connected to a company that shorted Trump company stocks ahead of the shooting and the owner of the building that would-be Trump assassin Matthew Crooks fired his shots from.
BlackRock is also directly linked to Crooks as he appeared in a 2022 advertisement that was deleted from the company’s YouTube page following the assassination attempt.
The first connection to the asset management giants is leftist investment company Austin Private Wealth (APW), which bizarrely filed with the SEC to short 12 million shares of DJT stocks less than two weeks before the Trump rally shooting.
After filing an SEC report confirming its position just one day before the attempted murder of Trump, it wasn’t until three days after the deadly incident that APW amended its filing by claiming it meant to short 1,200 shares, not 12 million.
X user Champagne Joshi dug into the odd transaction in a lengthy thread that ultimately elicited a response from APW where they blamed the issue on a clerical error.
“So just a simple gigantic clerical oversight. Moving along,” the X user joked.

Austin Private Wealth released the following statement about the shorted DJT.
“Statement on Incorrect Filing with the SEC
The SEC filing which showed that Austin Private Wealth shorted a large number of shares of Trump Media & Technology Group Corp (DJT) was incorrect…
APW also happens to hold over $78 million in Vanguard and over $34 million in BlackRock shares, according to the latest quarter’s filings.
In an exclusive report published Thursday, Alex Jones detailed how APW is used to raise money for ESG-pushing leftist organizations and foundations.

The next connection between BlackRock, Vanguard and the attempted Trump assassination is the physical building where Secret Service snipers were reportedly stationed inside while Crooks climbed onto the roof to shoot at Trump and his audience.
A report by Laura Loomer detailed the backgrounds of those who own the building where Crooks ultimately met his fate.
She accurately noted the structure is owned by AGR International Inc.’s headquarters, a company purchased in March by industrial solutions firm Indicor.
Indicor was launched by private equity firm Clayton, Dubilier & Rice LLC (CD&R), which was co-founded by Council on Foreign Relations and Brookings Institution member Joseph L. Rice.

ALARMING NEW DETAILS AROUND THE BUILDING USED BY THE SHOOTER TO ALMOST ASSASSINATE PRESIDENT TRUMP!

AGR International, the building Thomas… pic.twitter.com/ZIZY1tIblD
CD&R Operating Advisor Keith Pitts previously served as vice chairman of Vanguard Health Systems.
BlackRock and CD&R have done several multi-billion dollar business transactions in recent years.
In 2021, CD&R sold 39% of its funds in the €21 billion company Belron to BlackRock and two other groups.
In 2022, CD&R appointed former BlackRock analyst David Winokur as its Financial Services Partner.
Last year, both BlackRock and Vanguard voted to approve Focus Financial Partners being sold to CD&R for more over $7 billion.
CD&R founder Rice being a member of the Brookings Institution also connects him with globalist Robert Kagan, the husband of former U.S. NATO Ambassador Victoria Nuland.
Kagan previously wrote an op-ed in the Washington “CIA” Post where he called for Trump to be murdered à la Julius Caesar.
Nuland ominously predicted two days before the Trump assassination attempt that he wouldn’t be re-elected.
“So, I don’t think that Donald Trump is going to be president. So, if that’s what Putin’s betting on, he’s going to get a unhappy surprise, I think,” she stated with a creepy smile.

Adding to the bizarre web of connections is the fact that known Trump hater and suspected Deep State quarterback Barack Obama’s former National Security Advisor Thomas Donilon is now the Chairman of the BlackRock Investment Institute.
Loomer’s investigation also pointed out new CD&R partner Jon Selib was the senior vice president of global policy & public affairs at Pfizer until 2022, and was once chief of staff to Obama’s ambassador to China, Senator Max Baucus.
“In 2020, Ambassador Baucus went on CNN and said President Trump’s rhetorical attacks on China make him ‘a little bit like Hitler’ when President Trump was blaming China for the COVID outbreak,” wrote Loomer.
Baucus previously served as an advisor to Chinese state-owned tech company Alibaba as well as the CIA’s External Advisory Board.
The entire situation surrounding the attempted assassination of Donald Trump stinks to high heaven.

BOMBSHELL: Secret Service Told To Stand Down In Butler, Pennsylvania, Says Trump Event Head
Watch: Biden Forgets Defense Sec. Lloyd Austin’s Name, Calls Him ‘The Black Man’
Crooked Joe Biden couldn’t recall Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin’s name during a recent interview, referring to him only as “the black man,” as Dems worry the 81-year-old puppet president’s dementia has left him unfit to seek reelection.
Speaking to Black Entertainment Television earlier this week, Biden stated, “It’s all about treating people with dignity. For example, look at the heat I’m getting because I named a, uh, the Secretary of Defense, a black man.”

Sleepy Joe proceeded to botch the name of his singular Supreme Court appointee, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, saying, “‘I named Ketanji Brown, I mean, because of the people I’ve named.”
The devastating faux pas mere weeks ahead of the Democratic National Convention comes as Dems were already scrambling with how to address the fallout from Biden’s disastrous presidential debate performance last month, with several prominent Democrats calling for him to leave the race.
On Wednesday, it was also reported Biden was diagnosed with COVID-19, further exacerbating concerns over his health and fitness to serve in office.
