A police officer encountered the shooter directily before he started shooting -- and Trump was still left on stage. I can't imagine that happening because of "incompetence."

This is also important because now the FBI is looking into that officer. Which means that whatever is found will be buried, because that's what the FBI does in these instances.

It will be a never-ending ongoing investigation, of which nobody is allowed to comment on it -- because it's ongoing.

That's my two cents. 😉👉

Another strange thing. Allegedly Crooks had nothing in his social media profile that marked him out as a potential assassin. Was it cleaned ahead of time?

You cannot follow: "Challenging Unenlightenment 'Science'" with this statement:

"....he probably would still be the President if not for widespread mail-in and electronic voting fraud in 2020". Every authentic congressional Republican disagrees with this and basically every one of Trump's original cabinet disagrees. It is easier to "prove" that there was more voter suppression by Repubs - more hot mics, photos, and journalistic forays, mainstream and not. Every legal attempt to prove said electro fraud failed, most by conservative led commissions, and those who were most vociferous in plying those legal waters turned out to be sensational fraudsters who have mostly recanted. Let me see the science you have on this or let me get out of here.

Of course, you have lots of science on your side which 'proves' conclusively that there was no widespread voter fraud during 2020. Much of this was carried out in 2021/22. That being the case, the science was definitive and there would be no reason to question the results, but of course many people still did, including 'fraudsters who have since recanted'. The response of the Biden administration however, was not to present the definitive science in defence of the legitimate result but to censor the free speech of the 'science deniers' still questioning the legitimate result. The response of the Biden administration was to put people who dared to step inside the Capitol during the Jan 6 'insurrection' in jail for a very long time and deny them their constitutional rights. Why was that? They had science on their side.

They also attempted to censor the free speech of those questioning the official narrative on: 1) The Hunter Biden laptop, 2) Covid origins, 3) Efficacy of masks and Covid lockdowns, 4) Efficacy of the vaccines, 5) The state of the economy, 6) The competence of Joe Biden.

Remarkably, election integrity is the only one left standing at this stage: all of the other official narratives have crumbled. But I'm sure the science will continue to hold out against the naysayers. Just look at the Settled Science of Man-made Climate Breakdown; still going strong after 40 years and 97% of scientists agree with it.

Once upon a time the rifle used would have been known as an Armalite, much beloved by the IRA. The muzzle velocity varies a little according to the ammunition used, but as an order of magnitude it is 3,000ft/sec, so the travel time over 400ft is ~4/30ths of a second so it is likely that when the trigger was pulled the aim was good for Trump's head and he did indeed fortuitously just manage to move a critical couple of inches to avoid his skull.

The ongoing revelations about the lax security (e.g. ladder blocked from view by trees to gain roof access) do strongly suggest that there will be a need to disprove that there was a conspiracy to grant Crooks (how eponymous do we get?) access (and perhaps to motivate him and brief him for the deed - Len Deighton wrote the IPCRESS file a long time ago): the further question is how high does that go if it is the case. It's a Henry II/Thomas à Beckett "Who will rid me of this troublesome priest?" question in part, but the identities of the four knights also matter here. Parental influence or lack of it may also be a factor. The idea that the whole thing is just a lone wolf with unfortunately lax security sounds like a trip in one of Saddam's helicopters with the credibility of a covid wet market.

It will of course be very difficult to secure actual proof given the massive incentive for cover-up, but that might come eventually after Jan 20th.

The SS sniper according to himself was given orders to stand down. He had the shooter in his sites for 3 minutes and could not get the go from above to shoot so he took it upon himself to shoot when the kid started firing. He was then arrested and lost his job with SS. He reported this himself on either a Telegram or Before it's News channel after he was released from his arrest.

THAT TELLS ME THAT THIS ATTACK WAS PLANNED BY SS AND FBI AND OTHER AGENCIES AND THE BULLSEYE MAN.

This would be dynamite if it were properly corroborated. But at this stage it risks being a false story. Better still would be to secure a confession from the event commander, who could reveal how high up the order came as far as they know.

Elon Musk on the shooting (86M views so far): “Extreme incompetence or it was deliberate. Either way, the SS leadership must resign”: https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1812296672510111853.

It’s horrible to contemplate that American politics could be so malign if it was deliberate. It will be interesting to see what happens in the security services after this.

I'm beyond caring if all the DC creatures die.

It's all theatre and it's just not worth the time to speculate. The current USA chief puppet skin is irrelevant.

The entire western empire cannot excise this evil through 'voting'.

If voting doesn’t work, I guess we should just let the technocrats choose our leader? 🥴

Voting works for it's real purpose I suppose... The wooly vaccinated folds get a sticker, wave some flags and put the pitchforks away for another few years.

What makes you think you are the genius who can see through the smoke and mirrors? We are all in the same boat, but we, the people who believe in law and the constitution, work to own the system vs being captured and giving up because of geniuses telling us what we do doesn’t matter.

In the immediate aftermath, Trump thanked the secret service for saving his life. Now he’s had further evidence of their incompetence (was it cockup or conspiracy) he may have cause to reconsider that sentiment.

Maybe Trump will be minded to release the rest of the JFK files. According to Roger Stone he kept back 20% of them in 2017 because they were so horrible.

I think that was an entirely natural and reasonable response from Trump after they had shielded him (not perfectly) with their own bodies to get him off stage and out of danger. But yes, he and his team should now be asking some very serious questions about the security operation put in place at that event, although I suspect he will be more keen to make political and raw emotional capital from the event because it's not every day you survive an assassination attempt and then fist pump the air in defiance!

Police respond after a crime has been committed, secret services prevent a crime from occurring. They train from different perspectives. This is significant when it comes to this situation because they shared responsibility in protecting DJT.
