Have a good day y’all.

(I don’t remember who brought this to a daily in the comments, but thanks.)

And, of course, the obligatory George Carlin:

Per the Boss:

And now for an old classic:

And now for the obligatory message from our sponsors:

Here at the Q tree we believe in the concept of CIVIL open free speech and the discussion that fleshes out ideas. When commenting and participating in the OPEN discussion on this thread all comments MUST NOT CONTAIN personal threats, baiting, name calling, or other anti-social words fomenting hate, violence or destruction. Our host Wolfm00n has strict rules about that.

Fellow tree dweller, the late Wheatie, gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone

Please, stock up on blanks for celebratory gunfire, be ready to swing from the chandeliers…and no messing with the nuclear weapons.

Please remember to remain locked and loaded and ready for trouble should the insurrectionists try to invade your space.

Those who have things to say that do not fit the generally accepted limits of “civil” discussion, Wolf has provided a venue known as the UTree. You’re welcome to visit over there and say hi to anyone hanging out over there. The “Rescue Thread” is also over there. In the event a rendezvous of the tree is needed, please check it out, as well as the newest rescue venue.

Auntie DePat’s requests:

If you see something has not been posted, do us all a favor, and post it. Please, do not complain that it has not been done yet.

The scroll wheel on your mouse can be your friend. As mature adults, please use it here in the same manner you would in avoiding online porn.

Thank you so much for any and all attention to such details. It is GREATLY appreciated by more than one party here.

One other vital note:

Please, review these rules that our host Wolfm00n outlined toward the beginning of the growth of the tree itself. it won’t take long.

Psalms 34:2-11

1I will bless the LORD at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth. 2My soul makes its boast in the LORD; let the afflicted hear and be glad. 3O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together! 4I sought the LORD, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears. 5Look to him, and be radiant; so your faces shall never be ashamed. 6This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. 7The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them. 8O taste and see that the LORD is good! Happy is the man who takes refuge in him! 9O fear the LORD, you his saints, for those who fear him have no want! 10The young lions suffer want and hunger; but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.

One of the best St. Louis Jesuits songs in the repertoire. Most professionals agree. This one may survive the test of time.

As always, prayers for the fight against that which seeks to enslave us are welcome.

Please include: President Donald Trump, the Q team, our soldiers in the field, special forces, tactical units, first responders and those working behind the scenes…and any and all people with family members in the hospital, COVID or not.

And…members of the QTree who no longer participate for one reason or another.

It is quite clear, as per Wolf’s message from July, that we are under spiritual attack. Building up a robust arsenal of prayer and discipline is a must in fighting the enemy and his minions.

In that spirit, the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel from Tuesday’s threads, and the Breastplate of St. Patrick, not to mention the Litany of Humility are favorites recommended by exorcists in spiritual warfare.

Guidelines for posting and discussion on this site were outlined by our host, WolfM00n. Please, review them from time to time.

The discourse on this site is to be CIVIL – no name calling, baiting, or threatening others here is allowed. Those who are so inclined may visit Wolf’s other sanctuary, the U-Tree, to slog it out. There is also a “rescue” thread there for members of the Tree to rendezvous if the main site goes kablooey. A third site has been added for site outages of longer duration.

This site is a celebration of the natural rights endowed to humans by our Creator as well as those enshrined in the Bill of Rights adopted in the founding documents of the United States of America. Within the limits of law, how we exercise these rights is part of the freedom of our discussion.

MATTHEW 13:36-43

36Then he left the crowds and went into the house. And his disciples came to him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field.” 37He answered, “He who sows the good seed is the Son of man; 38the field is the world, and the good seed means the sons of the kingdom; the weeds are the sons of the evil one, 39and the enemy who sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the close of the age, and the reapers are angels. 40Just as the weeds are gathered and burned with fire, so will it be at the close of the age. 41The Son of man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all evildoers, 42and throw them into the furnace of fire; there men will weep and gnash their teeth. 43Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.

Reviled and Rewarded

Surprised at the “wonderful” drag show diversity so thoughtfully included in the opening ceremony for the Olympics? We shouldn’t be. Not at all! It’s to be expected as part and parcel of the current liberal/woke, globulist worldview. Out of the dark shadows and into the light where anyone who seeks after righteousness can easily see it . . . and learn . . . and not forget.


The primary audience for Christ’s Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:1—7:29) was the twelve disciples. Others came and listened, but the Lord’s principal intent was to teach His closest followers—the twelve men who were set apart for leadership in God’s kingdom (see Matthew 19:28; Revelation 21:14). These apostles would be the ones to experience the fiercest persecution. To address this concern, Jesus concluded His opening Beatitudes with this wonderful assurance: “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you” (Matthew 5:11–12, ESV).

The disciples were about to undergo unprecedented persecution under the cruel Roman Empire. Indeed, throughout history, faithful followers of Christ have faced intense oppression and persecution (2 Timothy 3:12; Philippians 1:29). The Lord knew that His kingdom leaders and faithful servants would need to maintain an eternal perspective. The Beatitudes provide this hope—they assure us that, no matter how much suffering and hardship we endure for Christ’s sake, we can be confident that our reward in heaven will be great.

Honor, blessing, and recompense in heaven are not promised simply as payment for injustices suffered in this life but specifically for “those who are persecuted because of righteousness” (Matthew 5:10). God has a special prize set aside for believers who are insulted, mocked, punished, and treated unfairly because of their stand and testimony for Jesus Christ. These are Christians who eagerly practice kingdom righteousness and suffer for it.

Such kingdom servants are like the prophets of the Old Testament who “were jeered at, and their backs were cut open with whips. Others were chained in prisons. Some died by stoning, some were sawed in half, and others were killed with the sword. Some went about wearing skins of sheep and goats, destitute and oppressed and mistreated. They were too good for this world, wandering over deserts and mountains, hiding in caves and holes in the ground” (Hebrews 11:32–38, NLT; cf. Hebrews 11:26; see also Acts 7:51–53; James 5:10). For all who suffer abuses similar to those of the prophets of old, Jesus promises indescribable rewards in heaven.

Jesus isn’t just encouraging His most loyal “movers and shakers” to endure persecution but to “rejoice and be glad” in it. Despite their temporal hardships, these servants possess the most distinguishing qualities of kingdom servants. They have the radical courage to let their “light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:16). They are brave enough to endure suffering at the hands of their King’s enemies and still rejoice (see Acts 5:41; Romans 5:3, 2 Corinthians 12:10; Hebrews 10:34; James 1:2; 1 Peter 4:13). In fact, they are willing to lose everything, even their very lives, to gain the kingdom of heaven (Revelation 12:11).

The apostle Paul’s lifestyle exemplified that of a kingdom servant. He considered everything of value in this temporal life as worthless compared to the “surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead” (Philippians 3:7–11).

As Christians, we should expect the world to hate us (Mark 13:13; 1 John 3:12). But if we live as devoted kingdom servants, partaking in Christ’s suffering because of our identification with Jesus, our reward in heaven is great: “For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all” (2 Corinthians 4:17). The apostle Peter affirmed, “Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed” (1 Peter 4:12–13). Our present suffering is not even worth comparing with the glories of heaven (Romans 8:18).

The Bible is abundantly clear that God rewards our faithfulness to Him (Genesis 15:1; Ruth 2:12; Proverbs 13:13; Psalm 18:20; Luke 6:35; Colossians 3:24). Jesus Himself promises the “victor’s crown” for those who suffer persecution (Revelation 2:10). Our reward in heaven is great when our desire to live righteously is intense and determined—when our testimony for Christ shines so brightly that the enemies of God’s kingdom are driven to extinguish its brilliance.

2024·07·27 Joe Biden Didn’t Win Daily Thread

What is it that feeds our battle, yet starves our victory?

January 6 Tapes?

Paging Speaker Johnson…this is your conscience calling you out on broken promises.

For all your high talk about your Christian moral background…you’re looking less and less like you have any kind of moral background.

If You are a Patriot and Don’t Loathe RINOs…

Let’s talk about RINOs, and why they are the lowest form of life in politics.

Many patriots have been involved with politics, often at the grassroots, for decades. We’ve fought, and fought, and fought and won the occasional illusory small victory.

Yet we can’t seem to win the war, even when we have BIG electoral wins.

I am reminded of something. The original Star Trek had an episode titled Day of the Dove. It was one of the better episodes from the third season, but any fan of the original series will tell you that’s a very low bar. Still, it seems to get some respect; at a time when there were about 700 episodes of Star Trek in its various incarnations out there, it was voted 99th best out of the top 100.

In sum, the plot is that an alien entity has arranged for 39 Enterprise crew, and 39 Klingons, to fight each other endlessly with swords and other muscle-powered weapons. The entity lives off of hostile emotions, you see and it wants a captive food source. (The other 400 or so Enterprise crew are trapped below decks and unable to help.) Each side has its emotions played and amplified by the alien entity; one Enterprise junior officer has false memories implanted of a brother who was killed by Klingons. The brother didn’t even exist.

Even people killed in a sword fight miraculously heal so they can go do it again.

The second best line of the episode is when Kang, the Klingon captain, notes that though they have won quite a number of small victories including capturing Engineering, can’t seem to actually finally defeat the Enterprise crew. He growls, “What power is it that feeds our battle yet starves our victory?*”

Indeed. He may have been the bad guy, but his situation should sound familiar.

We are a majority in this country. We have a powerful political party in our corner. There is endless wrangling.

And yet,

What power is it that feeds our battle yet starves our victory?

In our case, that power is the RINOs in our midst. They specialize in caving when on the verge of victory. Think of Obamacare’s repeal failing…by one Republican vote. Think of the way we can never seem to get spending under control (and now our entire tax revenue goes to pay interest on the debt; anything the government actually does now is with borrowed money).

We have a party…that refuses to do what we want it to do, and that refusal is institutionalized. If you’ve been involved with GOP politics, but haven’t seen this, it’s because you refuse to see it. Or because you are part of the problem yourself. (If so, kindly gargle some red fuming nitric acid to clear the taste of shit out of your mouth, and let those not part of the problem alone so they can read this.)

We fight to elect people, who then take a dive when in office. But it’s not just the politicians in office, it’s the people behind the scenes, the leaders of the national, state and county branches of the party. Their job is to ensure that real patriots never get onto the general election ballot. They’re allowed a few failures…who can then become token conservatives who will somehow never manage to win (Jordan), or can be compromised outright (Lauren Boebert?).

That way it doesn’t actually matter who has a congressional majority. I remember my excitement when the GOP took the Senate in 1980. But all that did was empower a bunch of “moderate” puddles of dog vomit like…well for whatever reason forty years later the most memorable name is Pete Domenici. And a couple of dozen other “moderates” who simply had no interest in doing what grassroots people in their party–those same grassroots people who had worked so hard to elect them–wanted them to do.

Oh, they’ll put up a semblance of a fight…but never win. And they love it when we fight the Dems instead of fighting them. Just like that alien entity, whose motto surely was “Let’s you and him fight. It’ll be delicious!”

If you think about it, your entire political involvement has come to nothing because of these walking malignant tumors.

That should make you good and mad.

The twenty five who blocked Jordan, and the hundred people who took that opportunity to stab Jordan in the back in the secret ballot should make you good and mad.

I’ll close this with another example of RINO backstabbing, an infuriating one close to home.

In my county, the GOP chair is not a RINO. She got elected when the grassroots had had enough of the RINOs. Unfortunately the state organization is full of RINOs, and the ousted county RINOs have been trying to form a new “Republican Party” and get the state GOP to recognize them as the affiliate. I’m honestly amazed it hasn’t happened yet.

In other words those shitstains won’t just leave when they get booted out; they’ll try to destroy what they left behind. It’s an indication that they know we know how important that behind-the-scenes party power is.

So they must be destroyed. That’s the only way they’ll ever stop.

We cannot win until the leeches “on our side” get destroyed.

What power is it that feeds our battle yet starves our victory?*

We know it. What is going to be done about it?

*NOTE: The original line was actually “What power is it that supports our battle yet starves our victory.” I had mis-remembered it as feeds. When I checked it, it sure enough was “supports” and that’s what I originally quoted. On further reflection, though, I realized my memory was actually an improvement over the reality, because feeds is a perfect contrast with starves. I changed it partway through the day this originally posted, but now (since this is a re-run) it gets rendered this way from the start.

If one must do things wrong, one should do them wrong…right.

RINOs an Endangered Species?
If Only!

According to Wikipoo, et. al., the Northern White Rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum cottoni) is a critically endangered species. Apparently two females live on a wildlife preserve in Sudan, and no males are known to be alive. So basically, this species is dead as soon as the females die of old age. Presently they are watched over by armed guards 24/7.

Biologists have been trying to cross them with the other subspecies, Southern White Rhinoceroses (Rhinoceri?) without success; and some genetic analyses suggest that perhaps they aren’t two subspecies at all, but two distinct species, which would make the whole project a lot more difficult.

I should hope if the American RINO (Parasitus rectum pseudoconservativum) is ever this endangered, there will be heroic efforts not to save the species, but rather to push the remainder off a cliff. Onto punji sticks. With feces smeared on them. Failing that a good bath in red fuming nitric acid will do.

But I’m not done ranting about RINOs.

The RINOs (if they are capable of any introspection whatsoever) probably wonder why they constantly have to deal with “populist” eruptions like the Trump-led MAGA movement. That would be because the so-called populists stand for absolutely nothing except for going along to get along. That allows the Left to drive the culture and politics.

Given the results of our most recent elections, the Left will now push harder, and the RINOs will now turn even squishier than they were before.

I well remember 1989-1990 in my state when the RINO establishment started preaching the message that a conservative simply couldn’t win in Colorado. Never mind the fact that Reagan had won the state TWICE (in 1984 bringing in a veto-proof state house and senate with him) and GHWB had won after (falsely!) assuring everyone that a vote for him was a vote for Reagan’s third term.

This is how the RINOs function. They push, push, push the line that only a “moderate” can get elected. Stomp them when they pull that shit. Tell everyone in ear shot that that’s exactly what the Left wants you to think, and oh-by-the-way-Mister-RINO if you’re in this party selling the same message as the Left…well, whythefuckexactly are you in this party, you lying piece of rancid weasel shit?

Justice

It says “Justice” on the picture.

And I’m sure someone will post the standard joke about what the fish thinks about the situation.

But what is it?

Here’s a take, from a different context: It’s about how you do justice, not the justice that must be done to our massively corrupt government and media. You must properly identify the nature of a person, before you can do him justice.

Ayn Rand, On Justice (speaking through her character John Galt, in Atlas Shrugged):

Justice is the recognition of the fact that you cannot fake the character of men as you cannot fake the character of nature, that you must judge all men as conscientiously as you judge inanimate objects, with the same respect for truth, with the same incorruptible vision, by as pure and as rational a process of identification—that every man must be judged for what he is and treated accordingly, that just as you do not pay a higher price for a rusty chunk of scrap than for a piece of shining metal, so you do not value a rotter above a hero—that your moral appraisal is the coin paying men for their virtues or vices, and this payment demands of you as scrupulous an honor as you bring to financial transactions—that to withhold your contempt from men’s vices is an act of moral counterfeiting, and to withhold your admiration from their virtues is an act of moral embezzlement—that to place any other concern higher than justice is to devaluate your moral currency and defraud the good in favor of the evil, since only the good can lose by a default of justice and only the evil can profit—and that the bottom of the pit at the end of that road, the act of moral bankruptcy, is to punish men for their virtues and reward them for their vices, that that is the collapse to full depravity, the Black Mass of the worship of death, the dedication of your consciousness to the destruction of existence.

Ayn Rand identified seven virtues, chief among them rationality. The other six, including justice, she considered subsidiary because they are essentially different aspects and applications of rationality.

—Ayn Rand Lexicon (aynrandlexicon.com)

Justice Must Be Done.

Trump, it is supposed, had some documents.

Biden and company stole the country.

I’m sure enough of this that I put my money where my mouth is.

The prior election must be acknowledged as fraudulent, and steps must be taken to prosecute the fraudsters and restore integrity to the system. (This doesn’t necessarily include deposing Joe and Hoe and putting Trump where he belongs, but it would certainly be a lot easier to fix our broken electoral system with the right people in charge.)

Nothing else matters at this point. Talking about trying again in 2024 or 2026 is pointless otherwise. Which is not to say one must never talk about this, but rather that one must account for this in ones planning; if fixing the fraud in the system is not part of the plan, you have no plan.

This will necessarily be piecemeal, state by state, which is why I am encouraged by those states working to change their laws to alleviate the fraud both via computer and via bogus voters. If enough states do that we might end up with a working majority in Congress and that would be something Trump never really had.

Lawyer Appeasement Section

OK now for the fine print.

This is the WQTH Daily Thread. You know the drill. There’s no Poltical correctness, but civility is a requirement. There are Important Guidelines,  here, with an addendum on 20191110.

We have a new board – called The U Tree – where people can take each other to the woodshed without fear of censorship or moderation.

And remember Wheatie’s Rules:

1. No food fights
2. No running with scissors.
3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
4. Zeroth rule of gun safety: Don’t let the government get your guns.
5. Rule one of gun safety: The gun is always loaded.
5a. If you actually want the gun to be loaded, like because you’re checking out a bump in the night, then it’s empty.
6. Rule two of gun safety: Never point the gun at anything you’re not willing to destroy.
7. Rule three: Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire.
8. Rule the fourth: Be sure of your target and what is behind it.

Silver $29.30
Platinum $974.00
Palladium $929.00
Rhodium $4,950.00

This week, at Friday close:

Silver $28.00
Platinum $948.00
Palladium $926.00
Rhodium $4,925.00

This time around the major beating happened on Thursday with gold dropping almost 40 bucks, then climbing 22 dollars on Friday. Silver took at least a 3 percent hit, too.

The SteveInCO Federal Reserve Note Suckage Index (FRNSI) stands at 114.486+. (This index is the ratio between the price of gold today, versus the value of the dollar defined as dollars per ounce when we had the gold standard, minus 1 (so that an index of 0 means the dollar is at its original value and doesn’t suck at all). I use that clumsy phrasing because the dollar was defined as a certain amount of gold, such that an ounce of gold was $20.67. It’s a subtle distinction. One ounce of gold wasn’t worth $20.67 back then, it was $20.67.)

Afternoon Treepers. I have “held my mud” since Saturday to try and sort through all the lies and distortions on the assassination attempt. I think this stinks worse than day old tuna in the Sahara.

Lets state some OBVIOUS.

This is NOT incompetence. This was PLANNED. Meticulously PLANNED.

  1. Hint, it was NOT Crooks who did the planning
  2. Crooks was a set up radicalized PATSY
  3. SS, and some local PSP had to be in on it
  4. the cover up is WELL underway
  5. This will NOT go away or be explained away like 1963. The TRUTH is coming, and it will put the FINAL nails in the DS Cabal.

Guys. Lets be REAL here. NO ONE gets within 500 yards of a former and leading candidate for President in an outdoor setting with an ELEVATED position. NO ONE. There is a REASON that this had not happened since 1963. ALL elevated line of sight positions became the FIRST priority of the SS sight team.

Trump was a sitting duck. The SS and PSP had NO confusion on where to cover, that is complete horse shit. Remember my axiom. When the MSM or DS have to change a narrative more than ONCE, the original narrative, and ALL subsequent narrative to support it are a LIE.

As soon as the SS Director said the reason the roof at AGR was not covered was because of the pitch, I knew it was ALL a lie, and the circle jerk had began.

Too many “”omissions” for this to be mere incompetence.

1)Short perimeter instead of 500 yards it was 200, leaving the nice elevated and deserted AGR building just outside the SS “:perimeter.
2) Convenient “confusion” on what group was responsible for covering AGR )PSP or SS)
3) Supposed lack of comms between local, state, and SS LE running this site. NO WAY they were not ALL monitoring each others comms.
4) a suspect walks around with a range finder for HOURS before the event and NO ONE confronts him. SS and LE tactical units are trained to EXACTLY spot suspects like that. Loner, lurking around, scouting with a range finder…RIGHT.
5) SS supposedly stationed IN AGR building instead of ON the ROOF of AGR. Anyone that has ever been even moderately trained knows about sight lines, interlocking fire, triangulation, and the high ground. The FIRST thing is to scout and eliminate the OBVIOUS vulnerabilities. They did not, they left this OPEN, WIDE open, more on that in a bit.
6)the lack of air support even a drone. NO WAY someone of Trump’s stature politically is NOT given close air support, even infrared. To pretend that Trump was not a former President, not the presumptive Republican nominee, not the odds on favorite to once again be President, and did not have political threats and enemies looking to take him out, especially after Iran issued a threat that DAY is laughable. It is not just Trump, there were expected to be 20-5- THOUSAND people in attendance. Who are they trying to kid here.
7) a kid of 20, with no know military training was able to evade SS, with a range finder, a riffle, and perhaps a ladder, to find THE perfect spot. So close it was almost unbelievable. Like shooting fish in a barrel. Come on.
8) The PERFECT location was left WIDE open. No perimeter or roof presence, the building was likely deserted because it was a Saturday. The building was just far away enough to avoid regular LE detection. Easy road access, EASY roof access with concealment.. The perfect height and distance for line of sight. Hell the SS snipers positioned behind Trump could have just as easily been positioned at AGR for sight coverage. Why was it omitted? .
9) poor comms when the shooter was spotted (by the CROWD) no less than 30 minutes before he took the shots. 30 seconds would have been PLEANTY of time to remove the President AND neutralize the shooter. Which is EXACTLY what should have happened.
10) Trumps regular team was diverted, or over worked so that the pony tail brigade was brought in…furthering the “tragic circumstance” narrative

They did not need to WAIT to remove Trump, OR take out the shooter. See, not ONLY Trump was in DANGER. That is where their narrative FAILS. There were @ 20000 CIVILIANS there as well as Trump. The shooter could have EASILY randomly opened fire into the crowd after his initial volley at Trump. That ALONE was reason enough to terminate the target.

Think about it. person on WHITE roof, with a weapon, outside perimeter, aiming toward protectee AND crowd. 3 seconds to know that he was NOT part of the detail. One outside perimeter, two, NOT in SS or LE attire, three, no comms to suspect. Execute, bang…threat neutralized. Medals for valor conferred later, as well as TV appearances, and hero accolades for acting quickly and SAVING lives. Think I’m off base, try posing on a roof with a weapon outside any open air venue after Las Vegas. You will get properly ventilated expeditiously.

Now, back to the shooter. How did a kid from 1 hr away get the perfect location scouted? How did he KNOW there was not someone stationed on that roof waiting to take out a threat. How did he KNOW there was no close air support or elevated surveillance? How did he carry a ladder and a riffle around undetected?

Answer, he was TOLD where to go, where to set up, that he would be un accosted, and that he would have a free shot, be a “hero” and that he would get away. Bank on it. Hell, I bet the reason the ladder theory of 5 ft does not fit the building is because he did not NEED a ladder. Looks to me like that building has what we call a mechanical “penthouse” I bet the reason he was not seen at first is because he was either let in the building, or told where an unlocked door was and how to get to the roof position from INSIDE. Then he was seen by the CROWD as he crawled into position. Curious how that could happen.

Remember folks. It did not have to be a detailed comm message. Simply “possible shooter on the roof” would have sufficed.

Trump would have (should have) been immediately covered and rushed away. The shooter would have been targeted by the SS snipers and eliminated. Hell they were watching him purportedly for THREE minutes. “awaiting authorization to fire” BULL SCHIFF. Any ONE of the listed items could have been an oversight. The vast amount of “oversights” can only lead to ONE conclusion. .Trump was set up by insiders to be assassinated right before the convention when he had not yet named a VP. They were going to fill the vacuum with their DS choice, who would take the sympathy and be their Manchurian candidate puppet.

Almighty God had other ideas. That slight head turn, milliseconds before the bullet would have struck (it was already on its way) was NOT luck, it was not planned, it was God’s will and his hand. PERIOD.

Now, they are in full coverup mode, but this time, it is not still cameras, BW photos, or even grainy 35mm film that captured it ALL I GUARANTEE someone has some smoking gun video. They should not give it to the FBI so it will be lost or destroyed. They should give it to Trump or James O keefe. So the WORLD will see.

Lastly, LOTS of people KNEW this was supposed to happen. Why was THIS rally out of ALL the others so extensively covered by ALL the major networks…LIVE. Why was the AP photographer able to perfectly capture the bullet in flight in frame (because he was WAITING for the head shot…that is also why he used fast shutter speed, to capture the head explosion in gory detail) Why were politicians like Obama so quick to come out with statements? Answer because they were PRE written, and they only had to change a word from “attempted” to “assassination”

The Cabal left an opening, put in a patsy, and showed him the way to do it to a tee. Trump was supposed to die that day, and leave us all in morning with nowhere to turn. Their plan FAILED and now they are FUBAR. They KNOW IT.

The old adage holds. “If you are going to go after a king, you’d best not MISS”

They MISSED. I expect a LOT of mea culpa’s, fleeing the country, and yes even suicides soon. This was STUPID. They thought this was their way out, and it was 1963 all over again where they could take out the countries leader, line up a patsy and a BS story, and insert their puppet in our blind emotion.

EPIC FAIL

No apologies rex, there’s a whole lot to this assassination attempt and it takes time and length to put the pieces together….I hope you don’t mind if I add the following as a consideration to be taken in regard to to your comment 6)the lack of air support even a drone.

I picked this up while I was crawling through social media this morning:

Anonymous insider testimony on the Trump shooter incident. This will eventually be submitted to the Congressional tip line. In the meanwhile, it’s your too! The people deserve to know.
My person has access to the PA State Police, Butler County Sheriffs, and Butler Police Department. Now let’s begin.
 
1. The water tower is still very much in play. 

2. The Pennsylvania State Police are usually allocated to events such as the Trump rally.

3. Secret Service told the State Police not to show up.

4. All SERT tech (Strategic Emergency Response Team) would have been leveraged by the State Police that were disinvited.

5. Tech for State SERT services also includes drones, bombs, and snipers.  So State Pol ice was not allocated and local police were only allocated to traffic control.

6. If SERT is the normal unit to provide permitted security and technology, how did the Secret Service intend to augment without them?

7. Only four state police were permitted onsite. They were stationed near to local police who had been restricted to crowd/vehicular traffic.

8. State SERT would normally be the team on the roof. (But the Secret Service told them not to show up.)

9. Sheriffs department is suggesting someone fell off the roof and broke both ankles. This has not yet been confirmed. [Would this be the local police officer that fell after he peeked over the edge and the cop that the Shooter pointed his weapon at?]

10. The Butler County Sheriff is largely corrupt. Many are questioning his messaging on Main Stream Media outlets. [such as this press announcement he gave on July 13, 2024: In a recent development, the Butler Police Department has announced the arrest of the suspect involved in the shooting incident targeting former President Trump. The alleged shooter has been identified as Mark Violets, who is reported to be a member of the Antifa group. Prior to the shooting, Violets posted a video on YouTube in which he ominously declared that “justice is coming.”

It appears to me that the Secret Service was deeply involved in perpetrating an assassination upon a political candidate…and it also appears at this time that the FBI, the DOJ, and the DHS are deeply involved in covering it up.

Cheato doesn’t deserve to be allowed to resign and walk away. She is a traitor who facilitated a murder against three civilians that her “team” put in harms way. I think she deserves to hang, but maybe that’s just me.

.

“Eyewitnesses from the ground who saw the shooter on the roof at the Butler Trump rally describe seeing snipers in the second story building of the AGR Building in Butler Township, Pennsylvania.

Speaking yesterday exclusively to the Gateway Pundit, the eyewitnesses said there is a lot more to the story that is not being reported by the mainstream media.

Though they could not get a clear look at them, they describe seeing one sniper in particular with a sleeve tattoo. The building staff had been chasing off Trump supporters earlier that day, people who wanted to walk up on the property to the security fence to get a better shot of America’s President. Later, when the group tried again the security was nowhere to be found so they went onto the field.

While there, they witnessed a man crawling on the roof and for what ABC admits is at least twenty minutes, and witnesses say was at least thirty minutes, trying to warn security as to what was going on, but there were no police and no security on this entire side of the Trump rally.

But they did notice some kind of security team inside the building on the second floor.
The windows for the second story were open so that the team of snipers inside had a clear view of the Trump Rally field.”

There are pictures from a drone showing windows in the article.

Where we left off last night late at the end of our Monday thread was with some tweets from a CBS reporter Olivia Rinaldi and a live blog from CBS.
The way this news is presented is rather disjointed with mish mash of information crammed together. It certainly does not read like a cohesive piece but it is telling a very strange story of what occurred in Butler PA. By all means read it yourself but your going to have to keep plowing through it to get to the salient parts as it is disjointed IMO or maybe I don’t understand modern writing.
For the above reason I’m going to provide the basic out line.
In the building that Crooks fired from were 3 local police department snipers inside the same building Crooks fired from. They had visual contact with Crooks two to three times as Crooks sat outside the building fiddling with a range finder. At one point Crooks left but returned minutes later carrying a bag. Shortly after the police sniper team went outside after being alerted someone had gone up on the roof. When they went out and looked up onto the roof is when the cop looking got faced off by Crooks with Crook’s rifle turning on him. The cop dropped to the ground and before they could get back up on the roof, Crooks was already firing at the President, approximately 8 shots.
Now we switch over to the Snipers we’ve all been seeing with vids and pictures. That sniper team never got off a shot apparently. The ones that shot Crooks were on the roof of the other building next to theirs. They were covering the other side of the venue but readjusted when Crooks started shooting and engaged after the other team failed to engage and it is them that killed Crooks with one shot.

https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1813021945958449180.html?utm_campaign=topunroll At the end of this thread reader it will link into the story below.

https://www.cbsnews.com/live-updates/trump-shooting-statement-joe-biden-updates/
There’s a video with this story that should be watched.

Other source showing the other SS Sniper team engaging Crooks

While much attention has been on one of the Secret Service Sniper teams posted closest to the shooter, line of sight analysis indicates a second team, here, was more likely responsible for the return fire that killed President Trump’s would-be assassin.

All unconfirmed. pic.twitter.com/UBaFDBZZES

FUNKER530 (@FunkerActual) 

July 14, 2024

In the above video you see Trump is still talking before the shooting. You also see the SS sniper team is already deployed from their primary sector of fire to their secondary sector of fire which means two things. Both sniper teams on both roofs knew about the threat before Crooks fired. For what ever reason the closest SS sniper team did not take a shot so the other team took it for them.

Here’s some conversation from the tweet in case you can’t read it. Some disambiguation on if it was this team or one much farther away then these two teams. These two are 120m and about 180m away and they are talking about another team about 400 plus meters away. Which is still close for well trained snipers given their gear.

If there were line of sight issues with that specific roof top and building, the fact that it wasn’t secured or constantly monitored is a major lapse in security and seems negligent.

Erik Prince said the sniper who took out the shooter was 488 yds away. Likely from an angle that had visibility on the shooter who had cover behind the ridge of a roof from these guys.

Seems more plausible. You don’t risk bad shots when your teammate has a lock on a perfect one.

And that makes sense depending on what side of the roof slant the shooter was on. People keep pointing out sniper team one wasn’t firing but they were probably trying to get comms confirmation shooter wasn’t another sniper team.

So they were totally disorganized.

WolfM00n

….this point.

Crooks wasn’t stupid, to go up on the building where cops were operating from. That is extremely devious and smart. Note that he was not only boldly claiming the best vantage point – he was forcing the countersnipers to FIRE BACK ON THEIR OWN.

Think about that. He used a contradiction to suppress USSS fire. It was not incompetence. It was a brilliant strategy, programmed into him with MK technology.

We are up against some brutal adversaries, who know the USSS playbook, and have overcome it by a combination of agency weakening and strong MK tech.

PAVACA


Here’s what happened in PA.
MK-seduced “wanna-be assassin”, possibly “overshadowed” with “professional assassin(s), use BlackRock-owned facility as backdrop/stationing area to try and kill President Trump. Stationing area on roof of building hidden by “sudden” appearance of tall, thick trees (in contrast to the rest of the greenery around the building.) Possible “professional assassins” are stationed on water tower of facility.
“President Biden’s” handlers create “Jill Biden speech at local Italian-American League dinner” TO BE GIVEN ON THE SAME DAY as the assassination attempt on President Trump.
DHS and DEI-led USSS “possibly collaborate” to “divert” USSS protection for President Trump over to “Jill Biden speech at Italian-American League dinner.”
“Substitute” USSS team for President Trump includes some real USSS + untrained / unqualified / DEI hires from other departments.
Local LEO ** possibly ** told to “stand down” if “persons with ill intent” are noticed at President Trump’s rally.
USSS snipers at President Trumps’ rally literally wait until “wanna-be assassin” and/or “professional assassin” make their first shots BEFORE engaging. “Wanna-be assassin” becomes room temperature.
USSS “substitute team” at President Trump’s rally remove him from the scene. Removal clumsily and unsafely done — President Trump was exposed to more potential gunfire during the removal. At least two female “substitute USSS” ringers, too short and/or overweight, either panic or act unprofessionally.
Any questions?

 Google Maps street view of that location. It is from November 2023, the date is shown. This even shows the “new” looking mulch under the trees:

another theory
SeekerOfTruth
July 15, 2024 9:49 am

Rule #1 – Follow the money. Possible theory below.
BlackRock reveals link to failed Trump assassin The shooter appeared in a commercial for the investment behemoth   
Thomas Matthew Crooks, the suspect in Saturday’s attempted assassination of former US President Donald Trump, featured in a 2022 ad for BlackRock, the investment giant has revealed. 
There you have it! Let’s do the math. Black Rock bought the best assets in Ukraine for 10 cents on a dollar. Practically a theft. It enrolled the neo-Nazi regime. Unleashed NATO and ISIS.

DEI head of the Secret Service — IMO, complicit in the assassination attempt on President Trump, perhaps?

Prison, NOW. Biden’s Secret Service director admitted the decision to leave the roof unguarded was deliberate. And her rationale is insane. Absolutely insane. You cannot come to any other conclusion than this: Biden’s Secret Service and DHS deliberately created every single condition that led to Trump nearly being assassinated. They did it on purpose. They’re admitting they did it on purpose. And they’re fine with the results, which is why no one has been fired. How long until we discover the shooter was in communication with fed informants or assets prior to the event? Pretty wild how he just happened to pick the one event with the one spot that Biden’s Secret Service deliberately kept unguarded. https://t.co/jCZdlYqQDn

Secret Service director says the decision to leave the roof unguarded was deliberate, because it was unsafe to have snipers on a sloped roof. “That building in particular has a sloped roof at its highest point. And so, you know, there’s a safety factor that would be considered there that we wouldn’t want to put somebody up on a sloped roof,” Cheatle said. The director of the U.S. Secret Service deliberately allowed the former and future president of the United States to be shot in the face because she didn’t want a Secret Service agent to be on a roof with a minimal slope.https://dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13639613/amp/Secret-Service-director-wasnt-roof-gunman.html

https://media.scored.co/post/NnncyLqK8E4A.png

The other issue is whether the roof has enough of a slope to be dangerous to anyone who was on it. Someone posted this pic, which is basically a flat roof.

https://media.scored.co/post/wvfZc5RuJDhy.png

Everyone needs to see this photo to appreciate the tactical negligence that occurred during the assassination attempt on DJT. This photo was taken just minutes before the first shots were fired. DJT is oriented towards the shooter at this point.

Look in the upper left of this photo. That is the building. Look how fucking close it was. Direct line of sight to DJT.

You can see my wife & I to the right of the SS agent in the front row.

There is no excuse to not have someone on that roof. None.

It amounts to the most stunning incompetence & negligence in a tactical situation that I have ever been a part of. Ever.

It’s simply incomprehensible to me how this happens.

The only thing that is more incomprehensible to me is how the Director of the Secret Service still has a job. — https://x.com/SeanParnellUSA/status/1813240829919539633

Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes

WOAH Listen To This: Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle “She has close ties to the Cheneys, the Bidens and is responsible for the J6 deleted texts scandal”

She “evacuated vice president Dick Cheney on 9/11”

You can not tell me this wasn’t an inside job 🚨

“She would know. The 28 year veteran was on the team that evacuated vice president Dick Cheney on 911, and she served on then then vice president Biden’s protective detail. He named her director in mid 2022.

New election. Amid a swirl of controversy agency deleting nearly all of its text messages from January 6th.

The agency says that was due to a data migration. System migrations happen. But I think for a lot of Americans, it just doesn’t pass the smell test given the timing and the volume of messages deleted.

Well, it’s unfortunate that that would be the assumption that people would make. Our integrity is everything, and there was nothing nefarious attached to that.“

Keystone cops.

Some of this we have already heard. According to this report, the SS says it was not responsible for the rooftop where the shooter was because it was outside their perimeter. I call complete 🐂💩on that. There should be no outside perimeter for the SS. They should be overseeing everything.

The Butler police also say they were not responsible for that rooftop but that another local law enforcement agency was. The reporter does not know which agency that was. She says there were four cops. One of them got hoisted to the roof, looked the shooter in the eye, had a gun pointed at him, and dropped 8 feet to the ground. Because he was hanging on to the side of the building, he was not able to pull a weapon to engage the shooter and could not notify anyone.

So when the officers heard reports of a person on the roof from the rally attendees, instead of standing with the attendees and letting them show them where the guy was, they decided to peek over the side of the roof with no ladder, no ability to engage the shooter, and apparently no plan. It’s unbelievable.

Collin Rugg

@CollinRugg

NEW: Dan Bongino says an “unimpeachable source” tells him that someone was supposed to be on the roof where Thomas Crooks shot from but “didn’t show up.”

Bongino also claimed that the Biden admin is telling the USSS director to keep her mouth shut if she wants to keep her job.

According to my source, that roof was supposed to be a police post… [there] was so supposed to be someone there.”

They’re now making up excuses saying the pitch of the roof. My source says to me that no one knows why the post didn’t show up.”

I was also told that the USSS director has been given instructions from the administration and the DHS secretary: ‘If you wanna keep your job, you’ll keep your mouth shut about this.’”

Video: @ColumbiaBugle

Why they didn’t put people on the roof of the building where Crooks shot from.

That building in particular has a sloped roof at its highest point. And so, you know, there’s a safety factor that would be considered there that we wouldn’t want to put somebody up on a sloped roof,’ she told ABC News in an interview Tuesday.

And so, you know, the decision was made to secure the building, from inside.’

Meanwhile I’m wondering how long we can keep it a secret from her that the other two locations where snipers were deployed had a march higher and sharper roof.

Or the fact that the same building complex had other roofs, one of which was flat and higher than the one chosen by Crooks and would have been a great vantage point in all directions to include the roof below them where Crooks set up.

Heck they could of tossed rocks at the guy and accomplished the mission of keeping the president safe. “plink! plink! plink! Hey you laying down there with the gun! Don’t make us come down there! . Plink! Go on get!”.

Trump rally shooting could have been MUCH worse
Police and Secret Service locked themselves inside the security fence and were not able to get to Thomas Crooks. If counter-snipers had not already taken him out, he’d have time to use all his ammo on crowd

Scattered through the short article.

Shooter.

  • Bought a ladder.
  • Carried a very tall ladder past SS, to get on the roof.
  • Picture of the ladder against the building in the article.
  • Ladder barely reaches roofline.
  • Dope drove a Hyundai Sonata an hour to the rally site.
  • Article says ladder purchased was five foot ladder. <<< ???
  • “It’s not clear whether Crooks used the ammunition or the ladder that he bought on Saturday during his attack later that day.” However, a ladder was prominently propped up against the building where Crooks would shoot from.

Purchased 50 rounds of ammo from gun store. No mention of caliber…

Rule #1 – Follow the money. Possible theory below.
BlackRock reveals link to failed Trump assassin The shooter appeared in a commercial for the investment behemoth   
Thomas Matthew Crooks, the suspect in Saturday’s attempted assassination of former US President Donald Trump, featured in a 2022 ad for BlackRock, the investment giant has revealed. 
There you have it! Let’s do the math. Black Rock bought the best assets in Ukraine for 10 cents on a dollar. Practically a theft. It enrolled the neo-Nazi regime. Unleashed NATO and ISIS. All to protect its investments. There comes Trump saying he will stop the war in 24 hours, forcing Ukraine to settle the conflict. Black Rock will lose billions if that were to happen. They dust off their shooter who appeared on their commercial and was not paid on the books – but off the books. Wait… there is more.

EXCLUSIVE:

🚨🚨🚨 NEW REPORT🚨🚨🚨

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

WHY IS THE COMPANY THAT OWNS THE BUILDING NOT TALKING? AND WHY HAVE THEY NOT RELEASED A STATEMENT?

AGR International, the building Thomas Matthew Crooks shot from, was just sold in March to a Clayton, Dubilier and Rice (CD&R)

@CDRBuilds

subsidiary called INDICOR.

It is worth noting that Joseph L. Rice III is the Founder of Clayton, Dubilier & Rice. Rice is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and he is also a member of the Brookings Institution, the same Brookings institute

@BrookingsInst

that has perpetuated lawfare campaigns against President Trump in an effort to keep him off the ballot for the 2024 Presidential election.

It’s important for people to understand how the DEEP STATE has a history of using proprietary companies as cutouts.

According to filings and their own press releases, Indicor was officially formed in Jan 2023 by CD&R, who just partnered Jon Selib

@Jselib

.

Prior to joining CD&R, Jon Selib was the Senior Vice President of Global policy and public affairs and Pfizer, a position he remained in until 2022.

As the Senior VP of Global policy and public affairs for

@Pfizer

, Selib was a MAX DONOR to Joe Biden’s campaign when he ran against President Trump.

The current CEO of Indicor is Doug Wright, who was previously deployed with defense contractor Raytheon Technologies. Doug Wright, CEO of Indicor, confirmed that “law enforcement was on the premises of the building before the shooting took place”, since it was deemed to be a high security risk location by the Secret Service. Wright also said the office was closed on the day of the attempted assassination of President Trump.

Roberto Quarta is the Chairman of the Private Equity group (CD&R) that owns Indicor/AGR. His photo is listed on the World Economic Forum (WEF)

@wef

website.

Oddly enough, John Stroup the Indicor Chairman and CD&R partner, recently announced his resignation from the board of directors of Crane Company on June 5th, 2024, effective July 22nd, 2024.

On March 18, 2024, the change of registered office by entity for the building the shooter shot from was changed to “Corporation Service Company”. Corporation Service Company is registered as a foreign business corporation in Delaware.

In December 2023, CD&R made Jon Selib a partner, after he joined CD&R in 2022. Selib was the former chief of Staff to Democrat Montana Senator Max Baucus

@MaxBaucus

(D), the Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. In 2013, Barack Obama chose Senator Baucus to be the US ambassador to CHINA.

Selib spent 12 years working in the US Senate and became Chief of Staff to Senator Baucus after Baucus’ former chief of staff Jim Messina left to fill the same position for Democrat Barack Obama’s presidential campaign.

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.

Ambassador Baucus currently lives in Bozeman, Montana, where he and his wife, Melodee Hanes, formed a consulting firm called Baucus Group LLC. Ambassador Baucus provides consulting services to American and Chinese businesses and he serves on the Board of Directors of Ingram Micro, and the Board of Advisors to the Chinese Communist Party owned Alibaba Group. https://x.com/LauraLoomer/status/1813962283673903535/photo/3

Excellent. All speculation, but it’s speculation in the right direction.

CUI BONO.

Reader’s Digest version from the article.

Malice Or Massive Incompetence”: Erik Prince Gives Detailed Assessment Of Secret Service Failure
Former Navy Seal and Blackwater founder Erik Prince gave a detailed assessment of yesterday’s Secret Service debacle in the wake of a failed assassination attempt on former President Trump.

DJT was not saved by USSS brilliance. The fact that USSS allowed a rifle armed shooter within 150yds to a preplanned event is either malice or massive incompetence.

The law enforcement sniper (unclear if USSS) in newsreels was clearly overwhelmed as his face came off his rifle instead of doing his job to kill the shooter. 

Clearly USSS failed at the basics of a secure perimeter and once shots were fired their extraction was clumsy and left DJT highly exposed to follow on attacks

Merit and execution must be the only deciding factors in hiring and leadership, not the social engineering priority of the day

When looking at the circumstances in favor of Thomas Matthew Crooks, the identified alleged suspect in the attempted assassination of Donald Trump in Butler, PA, it’s hard to see how the guy failed.  

The rooftop used by Crooks was a mere 140 yards away from the event with a clear line of sight to the right of Trump

The Secret Service is supposed to secure all obvious “sniper perches” well before the arrival of a protectee –

The idea of Crooks being able to get that close with an elevated position on the stage is unthinkable

Finally, there’s the dismal lack of response time.

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/massive-secret-service-failure-led-nearly-successful-assassination-donald-trump

Stuck on this…

WHY did the sniper hesitate to take out the threat?

  • Today we are to believe protocols NOT followed. (Under the bus)
  • Permission to fire NOT required. (Bullshit. Show me the Rules of Engagement.)

Why?

Pretty simple, actually.

That building was supposed to be secured by local police. The snipers in the pic were local cops. They knew that. At first, they thought it was one of their guys, doing the same job they were doing.

One of the sniper cops lifted his head from a ready-to-shoot position to get a different look at the rooftop person, probably because he heard people yelling and pointing at the killer’s perch. They didn’t realize he was a threat until the killer took his shots.

They immediately fired on the killer, although the actual neutralizing shot could have come from USSS sniper team at a different location.

Two trillion dollar deficit, massive budget increase for IRS, yet USSS has bread-and-water rations for its budget.

Plus a D E I bitch for a leader. A cherry on top of a shit sundae.

Not to mention, but… President Trump should have been secured at the 1st HINT of an issue.

Trump return in, I’m guessing <ten minutes.

i read this, this morning. true? not sure. but it makes sense in a way–kill a guy who’s got a telescope? seems out there, but maybe that IS their policy. I dunno.

Susan Crabtree

@susancrabtree
Here’s my reporting on why the Secret Service did not shoot until AFTER the shooter engaged and some context about the House Republicans’ investigation already underway (months before Trump’s assassination attempt) into whether the agency’s DEI policies are affecting its readiness. The blowback against the Secret Service started within the hour of the assassination attempt and continued even after Trump and other credited the agency with saving Trump’s life by quickly killing a shooter crawling across a nearby rooftop. 
But a source within the Secret Service community tells RealClearPolitics that the agency rules of engagement in this situation are to wait until the president is fired upon to return fire. “You want to take a shot then find out the guy was holding a telescope?” the source suggested. “The Secret Service is by nature reactive…and you better be right when you do react or you’re f—–d.” The Secret Service protocol requires that a counter sniper aware of a potential shooter to radio directly to intelligence division team to respond and investigate. In this case, the investigation may have been cut short by the shooter firing his weapon, so the counter sniper then fired as quickly as possible in return. The source praised the counter sniper who acquired the target and responded within three seconds, calling their performance “incredible.” “The counter snipers are highly trained and extremely accurate,” he said. Others with law enforcement and military backgrounds want to know whether the Secret Service utilized drones, i.e. small unmanned aircraft systems, to provide detailed situational awareness.
If the agency did not use drones, why not, these experts ask. The use of drones has been a controversial issue within the agency since at least 2016. Implementing drones would have provided detailed line-of-site analysis and aerial surveillance that would have easily identified the rooftop as a potential threat area. “The USSS has access to all the best imagery and elevation data,” the military expert told RCP. “I’m not saying they didn’t [use drones], but it’s an open question.” 
The once vaunted Secret Service lost some of its former respect after a string of fence-jumping incidents and other security lapses came to light during the Obama administration. At the beginning of the Trump administration, a senior special agent in the Secret Service came under fire for suggesting in a Facebook post that she wouldn’t “take a bullet” for Trump. Kerry O’Grady, the former agent in question, was placed on administrative leave but was allowed to retire with full benefits, which outraged many in the Secret Service community. 
The agency, more recently, has come under scrutiny for its diversity, equity and inclusion policies, after a female agency attached to Vice President Kamala Harris’s protective detail and identified as Michelle Herczeg, had an apparent mental breakdown and physically attacked her senior officers at Joint Base Andrews before a trip. An agency spokesman called the issue a “medical incident,” but other members of the Secret Service launched a petition over the agency’s diversity, equity and inclusion hiring and vetting policies during the Biden administration, as first reported by RCP. 
In addition, after the attempted assassination of Trump Saturday night, conservatives blasted Rep. Bennie Thompson, the ranking Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee, for earlier this year introducing a bill co-sponsored by several other Democrats that would have denied Service Service protection to Trump if he were convicted of a felony. The measure never gained traction in the GOP-controlled House. After the attempted assassination, which killed one innocent spectator and injured at least two others, Thompson tweeted that he is “glad that the former president is safe” and is “gratefully for law enforcement’s fast response.”

Pat – this is key – this is how the bad side controls evil outcomes through good intentions.

FIRST – remember what Sundance calls them – the INTELLIGENCE BRANCH.

Now look at this quote from what you posted…..

The Secret Service protocol requires that a counter sniper aware of a potential shooter to radio directly to intelligence division team to respond and investigate.

This is how they took over DOJ, too – using the “NSD” – the National Security Division. It’s the same thing. The shadow government uses the “intelligence group” within agencies to control them.

The Intelligence Branch can control outcomes in the Secret Service.

Now keep looking at why Trump survived.

In this case, the investigation may have been cut short by the shooter firing his weapon, so the counter sniper then fired as quickly as possible in return.

This broke the USSS out of the IC control loop!!!

The source praised the counter sniper who acquired the target and responded within three seconds, calling their performance “incredible.” “The counter snipers are highly trained and extremely accurate,” he said.

That 3 seconds CONFIRMS the audio of the shots, and my assessment of the first six bullets.

Crooks fired three shots in the video I watched, at 8.0, 9.0 and 9.9 seconds, with the countersniper getting three shots back at 12.0-13.0 seconds.

The head shot to the assassin happened at 24 seconds.

This is how the wicked Comey IC takes over. SS is under shadow government control, and they use “good things” as cover for bad things.

The same IC has total compartmentalization and deniability on weakening USSS and then sending secret forces against their hobbled Secret Service. Quite evil.

Trump assassination

New #QAnon. I believe Q to be saying “Bigger than 25th amendment attempt to remove”, meaning there have already been major assassination attempts on @realDonaldTrump, and we have evidence for these. Let’s thread down memory lane for the backstory. pic.twitter.com/juNXMT2JK9

Last year on June 12th, Q posted this photo of what looked to be a missile, saying “this is not a game”. This photo was taken June 10th overlooking Whidbey Island in WA by a weather photographer. When this was taken, Trump was on his way to the summit with N Korea in Asia. pic.twitter.com/G8wTSnbp8d

The mainstream media tried playing this off as “just a helicopter” that the photograph was taken of. The cover story Q was mentioning today. That sure looks like a photo of a helicopter to me. (not) pic.twitter.com/nOCHIrlBCY

Back on June 12th, Q then quickly gave us this saying “think hack”, which could infer that rogue actors hacked the sub that launched the missile directed at AF1 en route to Asia. pic.twitter.com/xYi0CxpwzB

Ironically on June 8th, 2 days before the “helicopter” incident, the MSM reported that “China Hacked U.S. Navy Contractor To Obtain Sub Secrets”. Were they setting up the markers for a false flag here? If POTUS was downed, blame on China? Interesting. huffingtonpost.com/entry/china-ha…

https://t.co/8mCRFEZ4tz

China Hacked U.S. Navy Contractor To Obtain Sub Secrets: Report

News comes a day after Trump agrees to drop sanctions against Chinese telecom giant ZTE.

Thankfully, an assassination never happened. A few hours before posting about the missile and sub on June 12th, Q gave us this photograph, which Anons determined was an original photo from Q taken over Alaska. If you zoom in, you can see it looks like the missile was intercepted. pic.twitter.com/uoN1G0u3tH

Q posted today, “Coincidence re: AF1 re: CA route NK?” A flight path from California to the Korea’s would take you over a small portion of Alaska’s Aleutian Islands, which has 57 volcanoes. More evidence that our photograph above was the missile interception. pic.twitter.com/JA2B6mYiXR

Then, in another Q post from this morning, they linked a tweet from @SevenFlamingos, who noticed that the US Army tweeted about the THAAD anti-ballistic missile defense system the same day Q brought back the June 12th “helicopter/missile” incident. What a coincidence. pic.twitter.com/TmHCXOVkwM

In a quick search on THAAD, I found this Stars & Stripes article about a successful test over the North Pacific last year. “The target missile… was detected, tracked and intercepted by a THAAD battery at Pacific Spaceport Complex Alaska in Kodiak..” stripes.com/news/pacific/a…

Kodiak, that’s right there next to the Aleutian Islands. If there was, in fact, a missile heading for AF1, the THAAD system based in Kodiak is likely what was activated to take it down >> Q’s photograph over Alaska of what looked to be an intercepted missile. pic.twitter.com/r6wPplJqpP

So let’s hypothetically say… A president for freedom, truth, and prosperity that a horribly corrupted Deep State wants to take out is on his way to North Korea. The jet that the president is in is heading from CA to Asia over the North Pacific.

They send a missile his way, hacked from a sub near Whidbey Island, WA. Missile gets taken out by THAAD missile defense systems over Alaskan islands in the North Pacific. We learn of this all through hints told via a backchannel communication line popularly known as #Qanon

Moral of the story, don’t f*ck with the military. The president is very well insulated, and him and his family are putting their lives on the line for us. These corrupted Deep State folks will go to no ends to avoid defeat, but their defeat is inevitable. Hypothetically. /end

<i>New #QAnon. I believe Q to be saying “Bigger than 25th amendment attempt to remove”, meaning there have already been major assassination attempts on @realDonaldTrump, and we have evidence for these. Let’s thread down memory lane for the backstory. pic.twitter.com/juNXMT2JK9

Last year on June 12th, Q posted this photo of what looked to be a missile, saying “this is not a game”. This photo was taken June 10th overlooking Whidbey Island in WA by a weather photographer. When this was taken, Trump was on his way to the summit with N Korea in Asia. pic.twitter.com/G8wTSnbp8d

The mainstream media tried playing this off as “just a helicopter” that the photograph was taken of. The cover story Q was mentioning today. That sure looks like a photo of a helicopter to me. (not) pic.twitter.com/nOCHIrlBCY </i>

Nor was it the last…

As a reminder, Doug Leone of Sequoia Capital publicly voiced his support for Trump 6 weeks ago.

Additional information for your considerations:

June 16, 2023

Sequoia Capital is the biggest US Venture Capitalist firm in China & they’ve been caught investing US Pension fund $$ into Chinese Military Tech Industries

Sequoia is largest US tech investor in China, including TikTok. Sequoia has been paying GOP members, *millions* to not investigate & to protect Adam Schiff

The biggest US investor in Chinese businesses is also one of the biggest GOP donors in the House & Senate.
The man in charge of Sequoia is Doug Leone, an agent for the Chinese Communist Party.

We now know why House Intelligence Committee Representative Mike Turner protected Adam Schiff from censure.

Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy’s top donor, has become Doug Leone (and wife) from Sequoia. 

Jeopardizing America’s security while funding China’s rise damages US economic growth and poses grave threat to the nation.

I can only assume that PDJT is adhering to the old adage: “Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.”

This was posted shortly after Trump was shot and is worthy of consideration:

The building that the shooter was on is owned by AGR aka American Glass Research. They specialize in the manufacturing of various glass products.
AGR was bought in March 2020 by Indicor.

Indicor’s website indicates that Indicor is a freestanding, diversified industrial solutions company formed in 2022 by CD&R. It owns and operates a portfolio of industrial businesses that provide specialized, highly-engineered, mission-critical products and solutions for manufacturers. Indicorruns their companies under the ESG Green New Deal ideology.

Indicor’s Certified Equity Professional is Doug Wright, who used to work for Raytheon, Honeywell and Ingersoll Rand.

Honeywell & Raytheon both refused to donate to any persons who voted against certifying Joe Biden’s 81 Million votes on January 6. Both Honeywell & Raytheon are government contractors.

Alex Soro’s infamous “assassination” tweet from January 21, 2024 features a photo of glass with a bullet hole in it and the fact that Trump’s would be assassin fired from the roof of a glass factory seems to be quite a coinky dink.

One or two mistakes is one thing. But when you have 10-plus anomalies on the same day, it certainly begins to look intentional. Here’s a summary, as provided by @McCulloughFund: 1. No local law enforcement was on the rooftop used by the shooter. 2. When law enforcement was notified by citizens of the shooter, there was no prompt action at the rooftop to neutralize the shooter. 3. Local law enforcement failed to initiate active shooter protocol to protect Trump and the crowd. 4. There was no apparent communication from local law enforcement to the USSS to get Trump to a secure location. 5. Police snipers on the roof used binoculars to track the shooter’s position and did not warn the USSS below to get Trump off the stage. 6. Police snipers under scope vision allowed the shooter to get set and shoot six rounds at Trump. 7. A police sniper got off the scope and looked with the naked eye to be sure the shooter had taken his shots and never looked down at Trump. 8. Finally, a police sniper shot Crooks. 9. No local police went up on the roof immediately after Crooks was shot to take away his gun and check on his status. 10. All the while, there was no active shooter protocol, and no warning was given to Trump or the audience.

𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆: Austin Private Wealth with CONNECTIONS to the Bush family shorted 12M shares of $DJT via a put option on July 12, just ONE DAY before the assassination attempt. Did the Bush’s know something was going to happen to Donald Trump? This massive trade represents 6% of total shares and over 16% of the float, given Trump’s 60% ownership. Their $1B AUM makes this a significant bet. Austin Private Wealth is connected to the Bush family through James A. Baker III, a Senior Policy Director with longstanding ties to the Bushes, having served as Secretary of State under George H.W. Bush and in various roles under Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush. George W. Bush has strongly shared his support AGAINST Trump despite everything happening in our country. While these connections don’t imply direct involvement, they highlight significant professional relationships.. Sources: @JoshWalkos, @Gene_SD

Traffic detail, you say?

Allegheny County PD covers the airport & provides motorcycle escort for VIP’s to & from VIP events. ACPD sent 10 motorcycle patrols to the rally.

Two supervisors dispatched were “unauthorized”, & later “transferred” according to local report:

https://www.wpxi.com/news/investigates/11-investigates-exclusive-pittsburgh-motorcycle-officers-transferred-after-working-trump-rally/4V43BKBXYBAN3PPHJTLK4FR4ZM

Superintendent of ACPD is appointed by the Allegheny County Executive. The current AC Executive met Jill Biden at the airport on 7/13 @ 4 PM according to reports.

The current ACPD Superintendent was appointed by Rich Fitzgerald in his final term as AC Executive.

Stephen Gardner video

Bongino POINTS OUT something everyone missed | New Trump Shooting Facts (36 min)

13:25 Columnist Max Boot [weekly column @ The Washington Post and a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations] the man who propagated the Trump-Russia collusion story is MARRIED TO A FOREIGN SPY! [From internet: His Wife Sue Mi Terry Sue Mi Terry, a former CIA analyst and wife of Washington Post columnist Max Boot, has been indicted on charges of failing to register as a foreign agent and conspiring to violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). Terry worked as an agent for the government of South Korea, receiving luxury gifts and covert payments in exchange for promoting South Korea’s policy positions and disclosing sensitive non-public government information.]

16:20 Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), meeting with whistle-blowers behind closed doors. Potus Trump was purposely given inexperienced, and in adequate coverage on the day of the butler PA rally.

[Here is what was said. -GC]

Hawley Reveals New Whistleblower Allegations Exposing ‘Loose’ Security Ahead of Trump Assassination Attempt

Friday, July 19, 2024

Today, U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), wrote a letter to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, demanding answers behind the U.S. Secret Service’s botched security rollout at President Donald Trump’s July 13 rally. The letter comes after multiple whistleblowers contacted Senator Hawley’s office with disturbing new information behind the assassination attempt on the former president.

21:30, Gardner mentions the shorting of Trump stock and ALSO RUMBLE. [Think Game Stop and the attempted destruction of that company]

21:58 is the actual Bongino Clip

“There is a serious dispute right now going on with the SS. The SS knows that there were some lapses on the side of locals.

[Robert Barnes in an earlier Viva Frei video — https://rumble.com/v56wunx-trump-assssination-attempt-rnc-in-milwaukee-baldwin-charges-dismissed-and-m.html — said PA Leo are VERY Corrupt. He is fighting a case there wher a women is going to prison for video taping HER OWN TRIAL! ]

There were — TIMEOUT –IT IS THE SECRET SERVICES FAULT It’s their job to secure the Presidents life, I get that, period.

They do have local partners however. There were some significant lapses. Here’s What I’m hearing. There is an Actual Text Record, so it’s not disputable. there’s text. Phone text, you know what I mean right? That this threat may have been recognized at about 05:01 PM an hour before Donald Trump got on stage. And there are some people telling me that there was a failure in the beginning to properly get that information out. I’m just telling you what I am hearing.

And let me give you the other side. The Locals and some of the Butler County officials are disputing that saying, Hey, we told the secret service about the threat and they didn’t do anything. That is going to come out in the wash, once we get these records FOIA’d and out in the public. [GOOD LUCK WITH THAT DAN. I am sure they are already shredded and wiped, “Like with a cloth”. -GC] You’re going to see via the text record who was notified when and what was done about it. I’m hearing from Secret Service sources that it was roughly a 1/2 an hour. In other words, 5:31 before they got a picture of this potential threat.

Folks again this is coming from the top.

Now, the Secret Service has a political problem right now. The political problem is serious. The Secret Service needs local partners to do protection. Follow me, because this is really important.

They can not do their job without local police departments. NYPD, LAPD…Butler county. It’s not possible. The Secret Service has what 5 to 6000 agents now, or when I was there it was like 3000 or so. It is not physically possible to do presidential protection with out Law Enforcement.

They are not only partners, they are integral partners. You get what I am saying? They are in a real Political Quandary Right Now. And I do not feel bad for anyone… They SCREWED UP PERIOD.

They do not want to throw the locals under the bus after they appeared to throw the locals under the bus. So they are in this bind right now.

Now my advice to them, if you’re listening right now is Ladies and Gentlemen the truth doesn’t have an agenda. The Truth is the Truth. Just tell the Truth.

I get it. Local Partners in the future are probably going to be pissed off and we’re going to have to mitigate a lot of that and do liaison wor But you got to fix this thing.

So I’m hearing again that there was some communications failure, but there is again, Media people are you writing this down? There is a Text Record Documenting this. That there was some failure to notify about the threats.

Stephen Gardner: As I mentioned a few minutes ago, Senator John Barrasso, who has been up dated, as part of a committee member, he said they knew of the shooter one hour before. They had snipers on him 20 minutes before. So there is a record of all of this stuff.

Dan: Second I have it confirmed from a source that there was no or very limited drone surveillance that day. There was no aerial, No effective aerial surveillance plan, basically what so ever. aerial surveillance would have detected this threat on the roof.

I’ve told you over and over again, I’m going to get to this in a second in with a secret service memo that was sent to me that’s going to prove to you that there couldn’t have been an air security personnel there because they changed the plan after we highlighted it. There was no drone.

So we can now confirm that. Which is an Absolutely ABOMINABLE SECURITY PLAN.

Stephen Gardner summarizes:

There were no dogs sniffing around [Explosives, gun powder?]

The additional snipers were in the building near Crooks.

There were no drones. SS and DHS sent no aerial/drones. But you know who had drones? Somebody who was up on the water tower.

Now 10 wittnesses have come forward, not family, not friends, at different times. Coming forward to authorities telling them “We saw somebody on the water tower just as Trump was being shot.”

I could not get the video to load. however if you go to google maps 3D, the water tower perfectly aligns with shooting Donald Trump. The roof and water tower align from different angles…. There is a video of the person on the Water tower appearing and disappearing at the same time you can hear pop pop…pop pop… We are not being told the full truth…but it gets weirder.

According to the FBI crooks has 3 encrypted bank accts overseas. [I thought the first story was encrypted phones -GC] WHY? What is a 20 year old doing with encrypted international bank accts?….. Was he a distraction the entire time so someone from the Water Tower could take shots? I do not know….

Stephen Gardner: Madcow said Poll out today of African Amer. Women showing that there has been a 31% DROP from 2020 to 2024 in terms of plans to vote for Biden.

Second video from Singingsoul1

Barnes first 18 min of 59 min video

~ 2:30 JD Vance fought in Iraq, thought he got lied to. I talked to him for hr & 1/2 before he came out against Ukraine war. I saw Karl Rove, his hands were shaking with rage when he got the news that JD was going to be the pick… US is unique, we are the only country that always has a ‘Lone Assassin’…

Multiple shooters coming out, Red flag Security lapses. A sign of a false flag is unusual and unexpected security lapses. That means someone on the inside is making sure certain events can occur.

Looks to me, multiple shoots, shots were excellent shots from sniper perspective…. When Trump stood and said Fight, Fight Fight he was signaling HE KNEW. Since then he is talking to RFK Jr about incorporating his vaccine policy. Talked to RFK jr about Biden asking why did you turn your head Don… gets leaked. Picks JD and accelerates nomination to Mon instead of Thurs.

I have talked to Don Jr and some other people. So I think Trump, KNOWS who wants Trump out of the way. And I think their attempt is going to backfire on them in Public Policy and a whole bunch of other ways.

I have ZERO doubts that at some level it was an inside job.

8:50 – First, many of Trump’s normal team was given the day off.

The second is the region had some high quality SS but THEY were re-assigned to Dr Jill…

The third is they had STAKED OUT THAT PRECISE LOCATION. There had been SS snipers on that roof and then they decide NOT to secure the roof… lists impossibles. [New] Had SS snipers on the roof THE DAY BEFORE and then the excuse of sloped roof...

Now coming out they IDed Crook 3 hours before because he is walking around with a range finder! … Almost like the profile of a patsy… He was so over the top that randos were screaming this guy is on the roof with a gun, minutes BEFORE he even fired a shot. They have video of him crawling across the roof! They have video of him near the building with the range finder so we KNOW he was on the SS radar.

He is acting so over the top it is being apparent he is playing a game. Can SS adequately protect a president and that president is a Trump president and he made comments on those games days before AND HE WAS GOING TO REALLY WIN THE GAME IN A SURPRISING WAY. So he is behaving like someone who is meant to be a patsy… couldn’t hit right side of barn according to tryout for rifle team.

And this guy is the one who snuck by SS & local LEOS and got off 5 or 6 shots? In THE primo location too?

So we know he was on everyone’s radar. SS was in the bldg, why were they doing nothing because we now know local Leos notified them TEN MINUTES before saying there is a guy with a gun on the roof. They all got that notice.

I do not buy the do not shoot after alerted. But the real question is WHY was Trump still on the stage AFTER THEY WERE ALERTED A MAN ON THE ROOF WITH A GUN 100 YDS AWAY???

THEY even set him UP!!

They get the notice and then say ‘Hey Don time to go up on stage!’

So the probability of incompetence as a likely explanation, when you go thru step by step, diminishes with each step.

And now we have Chris Martensen doing the sounds… [SEE: RAC contribution — https://video.twimg.com/amplify_video/1814095415127449600/vid/avc1/1280×720/3FjK8z8DFZjvqgvf.mp4?tag=14 ] and people at the scene said they heard shots from multiple locations. Some times that can be tricky.. echoes & all that. BUT Chris and other sound experts have been breaking down the sound and they are saying there are multiple shooters.

There is at least two maybe three. There may have been one on the Water Tower and there may have been someone in the building. The reason they were not taking out the supposed assassin, is because someone may have been shooting from that building. Making it difficult to know how many shots from that area and who.

As Trump said…, there were bullets still going everywhere going over me. That is more like 8 -12 shots instead of the 2 or 3 they guy should have had time to get off at all under their own time line.

Discussion about the photo of bullet path near Trump’s head… Was it flat and not angled down from roof? experts are analyzing.

CNN streaming rally live. Why was photographer taking that photo? My understanding is it was a NY TIMES photographer and had his camera speed at like 800 or what ever which is very rare. very unusual. He apparently is the same guy who caught fellow whispering in GW Bushes ear during 9/11. So this guy has a magical way of showing up during ‘interesting times’

People are curious whether the guy was tipped off. [REMEMBER the CIA has a LOT of Agents in the Fake News. -GC]

You can see how the Deep State would want Trump killed in a public way. The message was: “DO NOT EVER MESS WITH US!”

The message was, not only will we bankrupt you and indict you, we will FLAT OUT MURDER YOU!

After all that is what they did to JFK, RFK, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, ALL those assassinations at some level had govt complicity and conspiracy. The only question… is what is the scale and scope…. AND I think Trump knows it. You have seen a different tone from him… Thankful to be alive but he will be more aggressive than he might otherwise have been.

His reach out to RFK jr signaled that. Pick of JD Vance signaled that.

The cases to bankrupt him, to put him in prison did not shake him up very much. These are crap political cases and will get overturned at a higher level. But the attempt to assassinate him DID WAKE HIM UP. And you saw… “We need to do some radical change in America” AND he is much more committed to it…

18:30 Rebel Capitalist : Robert, Can you explain the Patsy roll not just this time but thru out history…

And I quit there.

History of assassinations 18:20 t0 24:28

Rebel Capitalist: Can you explain the Patsy role a little bit better. Not just Sat but thru out history. Because that will be the Push back. If that is the Deep State doing this, why on earth would they use this kid who can not hit the broad side of a barn, 20 years old, some say with an inadequate weapon. Why wouldn’t they have a guy there who could get the job done….

Also motivation for the kid? “what’s in it for him?”

Barnes: So there are already inconsistent stories about the kid. So we will start with the profile of a Patsy…. Every great crime needs a great patsy. Particularly a political crime. You need a convenient narrative script. A design. You need somebody that the event can be blamed on that won’t implicate powerful actors, institutional actors, government actors… Ad preferably THEY DIE. So they can never talk. Lee Harvey Oswald shot before he could meaningfully talk. The Vegas Shooter, we will never know if it was even him because he got shot before he could talk.

In America there is a profile pattern of trying to blame a SINGLE CRAZY ASSASSIN for an event. Or in some cases 2 or 3. But it is always some ‘crazy people’ involved….[gives examples] They usually have mental illness issues.

Rebel Capitalist: Legitimate!

Barnes: Yeah and there is already information. With this kid his parents were both mental health councilors which is a little weird.

You can go back to the Manchurian Candidate film, The Parallax View[1974] which Warren Beatty starred in that hinted at this kind of thing in the early 70s because people were wondering how some crazy person keeps getting in and murdering prominent critics of the Military Industrial Complex.

WHY don’t the Crazy People ever kill the Military Industrial Complex? Right? Why isn’t it THOSE GUYS? Why isn’t it the Federal Reserve???

No one has EVER thought to assassinate anyone in the Federal Reserve?? [LOL from Rebel Capitalist] It is just the CRITICS of the Federal Reserve. I am sure that is just a coincidence.

So, they need someone who is a little bit crazy who is a loner, doesn’t have a lot of friends. doesn’t have a lot of family, Doesn’t have a lot of people who can COUNTER THE NARRATIVE. Who can say “No, No this doesn’t make any sense.” And he fits that pattern.

But you are right, these are people you would RARELY trust to be able to pull something like this off.

I was intrigued by Trump talking last night. Saying when he was on the ground, there were still bullets coming. That means someone who was very very good, kept shooting…. That would suggest that did not come from that kid.

His [The Kid’s] social media was non-existent which is very rare in these times.

Rebel Capitalist: They can’t find ANYTHING on him. you mean you can’t find his cell phone record? You do not have a text to a buddy? Every time you have a crazy you have a Manifesto. If he is not leaving any trail, what is his motivation? I mean he KNOWS he is going to die, so that [a manifesto] would be the only motivation. It was to make yourself look like a hero. You are a nobody but this is how you can be a somebody.

Barnes: EXACTLY. That is the usual profile of your mass school shooters and the like. And now TAKE A GUESS what they ARE going to blame on him in a certain way?

If you are the Deep State what sort of an ENEMY, institutional ENEMY if you will?

Rebel Capitalist: Gun Control or something?

Barnes: CRYPTO!

[NOW the Windows CRASH and INDIA CRYPTO LOSS makes a bit more sense! – GC]

That he has CRYPTO ACCOUNTS. So some how CRYPTO is part of the reason for the assassination. That is his reason for the attempt on Trump.

Rebel Capitalist: Is this the narrative that is coming out? I have not heard of this!

Barnes: Nods yes.

YES! The only thing they have found so far, they could not get thru the encrypted aspects of his phone.🙄

Rebel Capitalist: How could you not? Are you kidding me? How could the SS, CIA, NSA, I do not know who is in charge of that, the kids 20 yrs old! It is not like he is Jason Borne for heaven sakes! How do you NOT get into his phone? [Remember back doors?? – GC]

Barnes: This kid has very little foot print, but according to the new report, he had 3 secured crypto accts. around the world. And so the goal is to say: “SEE this is what happens when people use Crypto! They become assassins!” [Hmm Kinda explains Sam Bankman-Fried getting hung out to dry. -GC]

One minute Bitcoin, the next minute they want to kill the president. It is that kind of logic. I figured they would try to demonize crypto some how. And maybe that is the link to Iran. Some how this guy was paid by Iran. And they did it using crypto because Crypto is ONLY FOR CRIMINALS. Good Honest people only use Central Banks and their money and their banking institutions. Because that is a great way to secure your money [Said snickering] And so that is the next step in the narrative.

And the CIA leaked over the weekend that Iran had been making threats and plans to assassinate Trump…

To round it out do not miss Wolfie’s comment about the Church.

SEAN DAVIS ALSO HAS QUESTIONS:

Sean Davis @seanmdav
Here’s an abbreviated list of extremely basic factual questions about the Trump assassination attempt that for some reason haven’t been definitively answered (anonymous leaks don’t count): 
 1) What make, model, and caliber of firearm was used, and when/where/by whom was it purchased? 
 2) What make and model of ammo was used (including the weight of the bullet used)? 
 3) Did the rifle used have any type of magnified optic or red dot sight on it, and if so, what make/model, and what exact setting was the optic on when the shooter used it? 
 4) Have authorities put identical rounds through the rifle with the identical optics settings and confirmed both the zero and the result of shots fired at the range at which they were fired on Saturday? 
 5) How many shell casings were recovered from the crime scene? How many remaining rounds were in the magazine that was found in the rifle? 
 6) How many rounds were fired by the shooter on the warehouse rooftop? Has each round been accounted for (i.e., do investigators know where each round landed, and does the number of bullets found or accounted for match the number of shell casings found? 
 7) Have investigators confirmed, via the recovered bullets and the known trajectory of the bullets, that the shooter on the rooftop fired each one? 
 8) Have investigators reconstructed the shooter’s precise movements over the past days, weeks, and months? If so, have they put together a list of every person with whom he interacted over that time period, but in person and virtually or online? 
 9) Have investigators reviewed video surveillance of the shooter at all various locations he recently visited (e.g., gun range, gun dealer, restaurants, traffic cameras, etc.)? If so, have they canvassed and interviewed each person seen with the shooter? 
 
These aren’t difficult questions to answer. These are usually the types of details promptly provided by authorities in the days following shocking, violent events of national importance. 
Yet we do not have a single one of these questions definitely answered on the record by an official authority. Not one. 
Why the heck not?

Attempted Assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks Flew Drone Over Trump Rally Site on Day of Shooting – 2 Cell Phones, Laptop and USB Drives Being Reviewed – https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/07/19/attempted-assassin-thomas-matthew-crooks-flew-drone-over-trump-rally-site-on-day-of-shooting-2-cell-phones-laptop-and-usb-drives-being-reviewed/

SUMMARY – In addition to bringing explosives, a detonator, a ladder, a range finder, a backpack and an AR15 rifle to the rally, while finding a way to sit atop the counter-sniper position, the 20-year-old without a social media footprint apparently had air superiority.

(Via Wall St Journal)
 […] 
The gunman who tried to kill Donald Trump was able to fly a drone and get aerial footage of the western Pennsylvania fairgrounds shortly before the former president was set to speak there, law-enforcement officials briefed on the matter said, further underscoring the stunning security lapses ahead of Trump’s near assassination.
Thomas Matthew Crooks flew the drone on a programmed flight path earlier in the day on July 13 to scour the Butler Farm Show grounds ahead of Trump’s ill-fated rally, the officials said. The predetermined path, the officials added, suggests Crooks flew the drone more than once as he researched and scoped out the event site.
[…]  
The use of the drone was just one way in which authorities have said Crooks planned his attack. Crooks, described by friends as very smart yet withdrawn, began researching the site shortly after the Trump campaign announced the rally on July 3, and registered for the event on July 7, officials said. He visited the farm show grounds a few days later to scope it out.

On July 13, officials said, he returned with a pair of homemade bombs that appeared to be designed to be set off by remote control, as they were fitted with a receiver like the kind used to set off fireworks remotely. Investigators found the rudimentary explosives in Crooks’ car parked close to the grounds, along with a ballistic carrier, or vest, with three, 30-round magazines in it, an indication that he might have wanted to cause greater carnage.

Who was on that WATER TOWER?” 10 Witnesses Come Forward | Redacted with Clayton Morris (14 minutes)

at 5:20:

Senators got private meeting. Marsha Blackburn: SS KNEW about a threat PRIOR to POTUS Trump walking out on stage.

Harrison H. Smith ✞@HarrisonHSmith https://twitter.com/HarrisonHSmith/status/1814863467901223360


So let me see if I have this Crowdstrike story straight…. When Hillary Clinton was Sec. of State, she was illegally funneling sophisticated weapons through Libya to terrorists in the MidEast in an effort to take out Assad in Syria for Israel.

When the weapons transfer went sideways and the US Ambassador was killed in Benghazi, it was discovered she was using an illegal private server for secret communications.

She destroyed the server, but not before its contents were leaked by Wikileaks, including communications about bizarre occult rituals and inexplicable code words involving children and pizza. Instead of investigating the leak themselves, the FBI relied on a Crowdstrike investigation that falsely claimed the server was hacked by Russia.

The FBI cleared HC despite admitting she broke the law, and launched the Russiagate investigation, using more fake Clinton campaign disinfo to tie Trump to Russia to get a FISA warrant and spy on Trump while leaking dirt to the press to undermine first his campaign, then his presidency.

When Trump had a call with Zelenskyy and asked about Crowdstrike, a “whistleblower” falsely claimed quid-pro-quo and launched the first impeachment to stop Trump’s inquiries. (It was in the midst of this impeachment trial, btw, when Event 201 took place.

But that’s another story.) Fast forward to 2024 and Trump is dominating Biden when he miraculously survives a deep state orchestrated assassination attempt two days before the RNC. Two days later Crowdstrike causes the biggest computer network crash in all of history, knocking millions of corporate and government systems offline for hours.

Other than the fact that Blackrock owns Crowdstrike and a Blackrock affiliated investment firm placed millions of dollars betting against DJT in the hours before the assassination attempt by a shooter who was featured in a Blackrock promo, did I miss anything?

CRINGE!

Memes & Stuff

Yeah, no.

And the guy in the “City” shirt with the Arch…yeah, STL soccer fan.

Giraffes are usually so placid.

Kids will be kids.

Have a good day y’all.

(I don’t remember who brought this to a daily in the comments, but thanks.)

And, of course, the obligatory George Carlin:

Per the Boss:

I know I’ve put this up before, but this week, it is appropriate.

And now for the obligatory message from our sponsors:

Here at the Q tree we believe in the concept of CIVIL open free speech and the discussion that fleshes out ideas. When commenting and participating in the OPEN discussion on this thread all comments MUST NOT CONTAIN personal threats, baiting, name calling, or other anti-social words fomenting hate, violence or destruction. Our host Wolfm00n has strict rules about that.

Fellow tree dweller, the late Wheatie, gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone

Please, stock up on blanks for celebratory gunfire, be ready to swing from the chandeliers…and no messing with the nuclear weapons.

Please remember to remain locked and loaded and ready for trouble should the insurrectionists try to invade your space.

Those who have things to say that do not fit the generally accepted limits of “civil” discussion, Wolf has provided a venue known as the UTree. You’re welcome to visit over there and say hi to anyone hanging out over there. The “Rescue Thread” is also over there. In the event a rendezvous of the tree is needed, please check it out, as well as the newest rescue venue.

Auntie DePat’s requests:

If you see something has not been posted, do us all a favor, and post it. Please, do not complain that it has not been done yet.

The scroll wheel on your mouse can be your friend. As mature adults, please use it here in the same manner you would in avoiding online porn.

Thank you so much for any and all attention to such details. It is GREATLY appreciated by more than one party here.

One other vital note:

Please, review these rules that our host Wolfm00n outlined toward the beginning of the growth of the tree itself. it won’t take long.

MATTHEW 13:1-9

1That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the sea. 2And great crowds gathered about him, so that he got into a boat and sat there; and the whole crowd stood on the beach. 3And he told them many things in parables, saying: “A sower went out to sow. 4And as he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them. 5Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they had not much soil, and immediately they sprang up, since they had no depth of soil, 6but when the sun rose they were scorched; and since they had no root they withered away. 7Other seeds fell upon thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them. 8Other seeds fell on good soil and brought forth grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. 9He who has ears, let him hear.”

Not the best, but not the worst, either. I sang the intro earlier this year.

As always, prayers for the fight against that which seeks to enslave us are welcome.

Please include: President Donald Trump, the Q team, our soldiers in the field, special forces, tactical units, first responders and those working behind the scenes…and any and all people with family members in the hospital, COVID or not.

And…members of the QTree who no longer participate for one reason or another.

It is quite clear, as per Wolf’s message from July, that we are under spiritual attack. Building up a robust arsenal of prayer and discipline is a must in fighting the enemy and his minions.

In that spirit, the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel from Tuesday’s threads, and the Breastplate of St. Patrick, not to mention the Litany of Humility are favorites recommended by exorcists in spiritual warfare.

Biden ‘Really P—ed Off’: Inside the ‘Abrupt End’ That ‘Blindsided’ Campaign Staff… and the Brutal Revelation That Forced President to Drop Political ‘Bomb’

‘THE SIMPSONS’ WRITER
AL JEAN BRAGS, WE PREDICTED KAMALA’S PRESIDENTIAL RUN!!!

The Simpsons again…. Hmm….

AOC admitted out loud the ugly truth Dems are saying about Kamala behind closed doors…

The entire Trump assassination plot is about to blow up thanks to a mysterious ATF agent who just went dark…

Kamala Harris launched political career with $120K ‘patronage’ job from boyfriend Willie Brown

Four hours a month. Nice work if you can get it. Although, the residuals and sins against the sixth commandment….

Tweets…X-Files, uh, posts, whatever

Short answer: no. And given the number of my relatives who succumbed to dementia/Altzheimer’s – including my dad’s mother, if that was really him last week, there’s a way to go. If he is declared dead in the next week, something else killed him.

Is he still alive?

Hell hath no fury like a black woman scorned. Seriously. I’ve lived on the edge of the black/white divide here most of my life. They are dangerous when activated.

Per the boss’s instruction:

I’d throw in a few Rockefellers and Rothschilds also.

This piece is for real. I’m telling you.

Of course, this does not mean committing felonies, but standing up to the forces that want to tear this nation – and humanity apart. The very people XVII told us will be destroyed by the time this movie comes to an end are currently roaming the halls of power…supposedly. It’s a sickening sight.

Guidelines for posting and discussion on this site were outlined by our host, WolfM00n. Please, review them from time to time.

The discourse on this site is to be CIVIL – no name calling, baiting, or threatening others here is allowed. Those who are so inclined may visit Wolf’s other sanctuary, the U-Tree, to slog it out. There is also a “rescue” thread there for members of the Tree to rendezvous if the main site goes kablooey. A third site has been added for site outages of longer duration.

This site is a celebration of the natural rights endowed to humans by our Creator as well as those enshrined in the Bill of Rights adopted in the founding documents of the United States of America. Within the limits of law, how we exercise these rights is part of the freedom of our discussion.

Fellow tree dweller, the late Wheatie, gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

MICAH 7:14-15, 18-20

14Shepherd thy people with thy staff, the flock of thy inheritance, who dwell alone in a forest in the midst of a garden land; let them feed in Bashan and Gilead as in the days of old. 15As in the days when you came out of the land of Egypt I will show them marvelous things. 18Who is a God like thee, pardoning iniquity and passing over transgression for the remnant of his inheritance? He does not retain his anger for ever because he delights in steadfast love. 19He will again have compassion upon us, he will tread our iniquities under foot. Thou wilt cast all our sins into the depths of the sea. 20Thou wilt show faithfulness to Jacob and steadfast love to Abraham, as thou hast sworn to our fathers from the days of old.

Sang this over the weekend:

Not a bad setting, actually.

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do thou, Prince of the Heavenly Hosts, by the power of God, cast down to Hell Satan and all his evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

>>148156518
Amen brother.

As always, prayers for the fight against that which seeks to enslave us are welcome. Via con Dios.
