In the wake of the attempted assassination of former president and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump we have witnessed an unprecedented amount of convoluted government activity shedding light on its current state. In that light we now see both a child-like and grotesque image of the façade we call government.
Depending upon how far back you want to go we know government has been home to a vast array of psychopaths, sociopaths, buffoons, racists, sexists, idealists, narcissists, war mongers, inveterate liars and crooks – on both sides of the aisle. One need only a passing understanding of an ideology to adopt a path to power. This is true in every country, however the consequences here in America are much more severe. We hold in our political hands the keys to freedom, the strings to the largest purse and the codes to the most powerful military force in the world. The last two are perhaps the most attractive to the aspiring bureaucrat. Freedom, the kind promised to all Americans, is seldom the calling card of the elite.
Beginning with the assassination attempt on Donald Trump we are told a twenty year-old young man somehow managed to evade the world’s most elite security force, a force that has zero tolerance for mistakes where one can get fired for being a few minutes late to an assignment. Countless former security and snipers have emerged to elucidate the impossibility of this “colossal failure” by a unit that is lauded as the elite of the elite. More than a comedy of errors, they tell us, this debacle wreaks of complicity by the very agency tasked with protecting political candidates for America’s highest offices.
Among the red flags noted for procedural failure we have:
- The closest roof providing a clear shot to the president was not secured due to its “slope”, a slope seen easily traversed by personnel including an agent who sprayed down the crime scene with a water hose
- The shooter, Thomas Crooks, attempted entry with a range finder used by snipers yet was not detained but allowed to continue to walk the grounds, also using a drone
- We’re told he bought a five foot ladder from Home Depot that morning yet the ladder he used to climb the roof was either 8’ or taller
- Attendees spotted him on the roof some six minutes prior to the shooting, waved to get the attention of both the Secret Service and police, a call went out to the radio channel notifying all agents, yet Trump was allowed to remain at the podium
- A police officer was hoisted by another officer to see on the roof, positively ID’s the shooter who pointed his rifle at him causing him to fall to the ground, yet no immediate action was taken
- Forensics analysis reveal at least three different weapons fired a combined nine rounds with four of them striking innocent civilians including President Trump and murdering firefighter Corey Comparatore
- Video footage of the counter snipers show one, who apparently had the shooter sighted for several minutes he shot at Trump, waiting for shots to be fired before returning fire and killing Crooks
- The Secret Service did not attend that morning’s briefing for snipers prior to the rally nor did they intend to send sniper teams, yet changed their mind and sent two teams the day of
- Communications were siloed thus routed to a central operator delaying radio contact between police, SWAT and Secret Service
- A sniper spotted and took pictures of Crooks, noting he had a range finder near the AGR building from where he would shoot some twenty minutes prior to the shooting, reported it to Secret Service who confirmed the report but did nothing
- A whistleblower reported to Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) “the majority of security were not USSS (Secret Service) but Department of Homeland Security Investigations (HIS)” unfamiliar with USSS protocol for these types of events

One doesn’t have to be a security expert to see this extends beyond simple lack of resources leading to procedural failures. At best this appears to be negligence and at worst the evidence points to apparent complicity in allowing shots to be fired at the Republican nominee for president. Donald Trump has been repeatedly referred to by the media and government officials as “Hitler”, a “white supremacist”, a “Nazi” and “an existential threat to our democracy” while many of his supporters have been targeted or harassed in public for their affiliation with him.
A term familiar to those savvy to intelligence operations designed to relieve them of guilt by association is “plausible deniability”, which indicates operations are developed to create a level of exculpatory evidence allowing operatives or higher ups to escape without conviction. The use of lone wolf actors, the appearance of incompetence, failure to properly secure surroundings and use of outside forces or false flags allows intelligence agencies cover to excuse any involvement they may have had in coordinating such events.
Perhaps the most famous assassination, that of President John F. Kennedy, features several of these. The official report from the Warren Commission would have Americans believe Lee Harvey Oswald, said to be a poor marksman, pulling off not only a shot expert snipers would later say is nearly impossible, but the bullet would defy the laws of physics by passing through multiple persons achieving angles no ballistic experts could confirm. The appearance of Jack Ruby, owner of a local night club, brandishing a gun amidst what should have been the most tightly secured transfer of Oswald also defies logic, yet allowed Ruby to kill Oswald who was trying to tell the world he was “a patsy”. Mark Lane, who represented Oswald posthumously, would go on to write books “Rush to Judgment” and “Plausible Denial” exposing these tactics. Today virtually no student of JFK’s assassination believes Oswald acted alone or was the actual killer, and those who reported other shooters that day disappeared shortly thereafter.
For Americans concerned with our government agencies this event raises serious questions about the forces at work within them. Our fellow citizens on the left should be as deeply concerned by this apparent malfeasance regarding the person elected to represent the Republican party. The spirit of our Constitution is imbued with protections against government abuses and tyranny. The fourth amendment ensures “the right of the people to be secure in their persons” extends to Donald Trump and, by virtue of his representation of millions of Americans, them as well. Any government so grossly negligent of this security is one either committed to tyranny or in the grip of those willing to violate this right.
Both Thomas Crooks and Kimberly Cheatle appear to be the scapegoats for this egregious violation of American’s right to representation, security in their persons and highly unlikely comedy of errors that led to the death of two and hospitalization of three more who, that morning, woke up citizens of America enjoying their right to freedom of assembly only to have it violently terminated.
Just this week the Secret Service has since issued a request that the Trump campaign stop holding outdoor rallies citing the security of indoor settings, despite considerable increase in cost. This achieves yet another infringement on our freedoms if it becomes the new standard.
At the heart of controversies surrounding Trump’s agenda is the massive influx of people migrating illegally to our country. Estimates of 10 million entries boggles the mind at how we can sustain such increases. However the question of why so many is answered simply – they come to participate in America the land of opportunity and freedom, two things not enjoyed from countries by those who make the sacrifice to come here.
This raises the question, is our country committed to those opportunities and freedoms? By the looks of our current government in Washington D.C. we all have to wonder if that’s still the case.
