@HenryMa79561893 posts "Cole Allen" before Washington Correspondents Shooting

[Giddierone]

We might need a new thread for the Time Machine / Time traveller claims and the apparent tweet from three years ago naming the shooter.

I think someone mentioned that they both worked for NASA, not sure if true, would still be odd.

I'm not really concerned about the glitch art. Pareidolia is sufficient to explain that.
Now I'm more interested in the "Henry Martinez" Twitter account. As of today he has 9710 followers, and follows no one. The account says he joined December 2023 and posted ONE tweet on Dec 21, 2023.

It's clearly a bot because his handle is "@HenryMa79561893". His one post just reads "Cole Allen".

I have no proof. But I think Twitter was hacked and this account entered a false "Joined" date. Nothing else makes sense. Why would anyone be planning a False Flag in 2023? And the incident was dramatic but pointless as nobody was hurt. It would see a very lame incident for a time traveler to try to warn anybody about.

A know that there are a lot of names, but is it possible that someone(s) at some point(s) in the past, might have created a lot of single post accounts like this, with names in them, to see what would happen when one of those names popped up in a news context.

It might sound a bit outlandish, but in amongst the billions of Facebook accounts created over the years, a few thousand accounts like this wouldn't be noticed, until one of thems popped up in the news and someone did a search on Facebook for it. That being said, I have very little experience with facebook (social media wasn't something I gravitated towards), so I don't know of this kind of mass account creation, or seach for a this kind of post would even be possible.

Just because there is a post of with that name somewhere (amongst possibly as much as 100's of billions of posts on facebook), it doesn't mean that it's significant, especially if there were also large numbers of posts like it with other names.

Could also be a twitter employee trolling. Someone with direct back-end access could fake dates of accounts and tweets.

Paredolia, yes, but unfortunately, there are millions of people who believe in magic, and they will think it's significant. The original post has 22 million views.

I guess we could each search a bunch of names and see if any if them crop up?

So, yeah, just pareidolia.

Hmm. Dunno. Maybe the name "Cole Allen" has significance other than the coincidental association with the suspect? There is a Cole Allen that is an actor. He was on "KIdding" (2018-2020) with Jim Carrey. He last posted on IG March 1, 2023.

Just saying. Maybe it's just a random Cole Allen that is unrelated.

I don't know how that image is generated, is it random or based on a real image? I wonder if there's an equivalent to the "unwirl" technique used to identify a criminal (see: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-39411025) that might reveal more...

I'll be over here playing my vinyl records backwards...

I searched for tweets mentioning "Cole Allen" plus or minus a few days from that tweet. A lot of basketball chatter. Curiously, the Henry Martinez tweet was not among the search results, even though the tweet is still up. So, I don't think searching for other names tweeted like that is going to work.

This also makes me wonder how the Henry Martinez tweet surfaced, if searching for that name doesn't work (even if you search only a seven-day span, there are lots of tweets mentioning a Cole Allen).

I looked into ways to write a script to search systematically, but after the API changes, I think the only option left is X's search function or else to pay for access to the API.

I searched the year (Jan 1, 2023 - Dec 31, 2023) and I found a few Cole Allens of note. I DID see the Martinez tweet in that lot. And on Dec 14, I found a Tweet from a college football player "Cole Allen" that he received an offer from TulsaFootball. Another Tweet on Dec 25 from an Albert Johnson III (AJ) states "Cole Allen is the truth" and posts an image from Texas Private School Football.

I'm guessing it's either a coincidence or Martinez loved Texas High School Football.

Here's a good theory. Coherent, internally consistent, and accounts for observations without complications or extraordinary measures. And, good explanatory power: It explains not only the tweet but also how it became known years later (the tweeter retweeted it from a different account or put it on Reddit or something), and also the "time machine" reference.

I really don't think this makes sense for THIS case. It's one thing to write "the pope will die", hide it and reveal it when the pope dies. It's another to write a random name and hide it. Cole Allen was not a notable person until yesterday.

But if you predict when the pope will die, you have to make 365 posts for each year -- 3,652 posts for a ten-year period, which is a reasonable amount of time you'd expect a pope to live. Compare that to tweeting combinations of popular first names (for someone age 20-40 at the time) and common last names that can be tied to any event at any time. If I were attempting such a hoax, I'd think the latter approach is a better percentage play than the former.

Edit: A name with zero context is also more intriguing and therefore more likely to go viral. If the pope died and I saw an old post that said "Pope Leo will die on [today]," the first thing I'd suspect is that someone tweeted all of the dates. It's pretty obvious. A name with no context, though — people won't immediately think of that explanation, due to objections like, "Cole Allen was not a notable person until yesterday."

The way this works is you post the names of all college football players, and when something notable happens to one of them, you present just that post and not the others.
I think the chances are quite good.

I'm trying to pin down what the conspiracy logic is even supposed to be here.

If the tweet is meant to reflect foreknowledge of 2 assassination attempts that ultimately benefited Trump, then that would imply the twitter poster was associated with Trump, not the "deep state". If so, why cryptically signal the supposed false flag attempts via an obscure Twitter account? In conspiracy worldview, isn't the public signalling thing more of a deep state/Freemason assumption?

If instead this is supposed to be a "deep state" operation, why would they be coordinating and carrying out events that boost Trump? The attempted shooting at Butler gave him a tremendous amount of popularity. I'm not seeing a version where the actors and incentives line up coherently.

Alternatively, it seems entirely plausible that someone with an engineering degree from Caltech and a master's in computer science, who was reportedly involved in leftwing activism, who was reported to have made extremist(ish) comments to his sister, and whose recent employment appears lacking, could have been dissatisfied with the status quo and acted alone. This pathway seemingly requires fewer assumptions than introducing additional layers of vast coordinated conspiracy.

It will be interesting to see what evidence comes to light in the trial.

It's certainly possible. But it seems in the same range of possibility (or even less imo) that Cole randomly created an account while bored and posted his name. Or someone who knew him posted his name.

Since we agree the glitch art picture is pareidolia, who or why the name was posted isn't all that interesting. There's nothing suggesting any connection to politics, assassination attempts, or anything of the sort. It's odd behaviour, but that's it.

Edit: the only additional piece of evidence we haven't discussed is the profile picture for the account. It's the Pepe the frog meme associated with far right "groypers". Again, a popular image online so likely a coincidence. But it's conceivable in the darker more radical corners of the Internet a right winger might've discovered Cole's identity and posted that for intimidation/unmasking. Zero evidence, but that at least acknowledges possible political motivation vectors.
