Threat Matrix 2024

Videos of the Presumed shooter at the Trump rally motionless on the rooftop of a building. dead.

OMG! Isn't the SS supposed to be positioned on every building rooftop surrounding any protected person? I remember seeing Bush Sr. visit Xerox; every building had SS sharpshooters positioned on it. THIS WAS A MASSIVE SS FAILURE.

Videos are all over “X”

X noted it and butler hasn’t released a statement.

Witness saw shooter killed by SS from other rooftops. “They blew his head off!”

Bravo Zulu to the SS sharpshooters. They earned their pay today.

Link?

I’m reporting on videos and photos streaming from various sources on “X”.

Photos show the assassin dead on the roof with rifle.
Video shows ss counter snipers engaging just as trump reaches for his ear.
The individual being taken out of the bleachers is from the section that would have been to his left - hit by gun mans missed shots.

No one source has put this together in a single package yet.

Interesting... some people on the ground - at the rally were telling police there was a man with a rifle on the roof - and pointing to SS men trying to get them to notice. The timing is weird. Thanks for getting back with me.

There are two that have made the statement that they tried to get the ss/police to act but were ignored. Security failure of epic scale that security didn’t have boots on the ground on that roof to prevent this from happening.

Does Soros pay for Antifa?

You're right - it' an epic scale security failure. Odd. Very odd. What's next? A Warren Commission? Fifty years of 'not knowing'?

Trying to catch my breath at the events yesterday in Pennsylvania.

Some components of today’s post reflect that.

CW2 / Domestic violence - Moderate to High THREAT - up dated July 14, 2024
— Attempted assassination of Trump.

July 15 RNC convention in Milwaukee, WI
July 25 - Protest of Netanyahu’s appearance before congress.
August 19 - DNC convention in Chicago, IL

***

NOTE- I’m placing the Trump assassination attempt info here, as we came within an inch of a potential breakout of a hot CW2 yesterday.

Summary -

20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks from PA took 5-8 shots at Trump yesterday using an AR style rifle at a campaign rally in PA. At least one round hit Trumps upper right ear and there may have been a second that nicked it. If Trump hadn’t turned his head at the last moment, the bullet would have hit the back part of his skull - killing him instantly.

One spectator in the stands behind Trump was hit in the head and killed, a second reportedly has serious injuries. Republican Congressman Ronnie Jackson told the BBC that his nephew was injured in the shooting. He sustained a minor wound to his neck and was treated at the scene, Mr Jackson said in a statement.

Video’s show Trump looking to his right, then a surprised expression as he reaches for his ear before dropping to the deck and within seconds covered by Secret Service personnel. He was quickly escorted to a waiting SUV and taken to a hospital for examination and later released.

Crooks managed to get to an unguarded roof off the event site, but within 150 yards of the event platform. It has been reported that at least two events goers saw Crooks climbing to the roof with rifle and brought that to the attention of law enforcement / Secret Service, who reportedly did nothing. One witness - Greg - told the BBC that he had spotted a suspicious-looking person “bear crawling” on the roof of the building about five minutes after Trump took to the stage. He said he pointed the person out to police.
“He had a rifle, we could clearly see him with a rifle,” he said. “We’re pointing at him, the police are down there running around on the ground – we’re like ‘hey man there’s a guy on the roof with a rifle’ and the police did not know what was going on.”

Counter-snipers eliminated Crooks with a head shot but after he had managed to get 5-8 shots off.

Very little is known about Crooks. Reports indicate that state voter records show that Crooks was a registered Republican. He is also reported to have donated $15 to ActBlue, a political action committee that raises money for left-leaning and Democratic politicians in 2021. Social media accounts were quickly shut down preventing further open investigation at this time.

Historically, when the press is silent about the background of an individual who’s done a crime like this, the info is detrimental to the left / democrats , and is kept under wraps until much of the initial storm has passed.

OBSERVATION - I’ve warned that this possibility over the better part of the last year. Yesterday my fears became a reality. To say we averted a civil war by an inch is not hyperbole. There are elements on the right that have been on a hair trigger since the start of the election cycle, with anger building as the democrats waged lawfare and violated Trump’s constitutional rights. Had Crooks been successful, the last bit of restraint would have been broken for some.

Trump constantly recognizes the sacrifices and efforts of law enforcement. However, yesterday he was let down - bigly. Secret Service had one job – to protect America’s presidents, both current and former – and in that they failed spectacularly yesterday.

Three key points on the break down of his security.

1 The roof that Crooks shot from was completely unguarded, even though it was easy to see it provided an excellent line of fire to the event stage. Those with a background in security like were shocked that this failure occurred.

2 No action was taken by law enforcement / Secret Service when attendees saw Crooks climbing to the roof with a rifle and reported it.

3 The counter sniper team appears to have frozen for a period, either not seeing Crooks or uncertain to fire. Video shows that they finally fired the moment Trump’s ear was hit and he responded - after 5 - 8 rounds were fired at Trump.

These three points have generated a wide range of responses. First being the result of gross incompetence by his Secret Service security lead of not catching the vulnerability the off site roof provided

Worst case scenario was that this was a deliberate action by someone(s) on his security detail to allow Crooks to get into position, shoot a number of rounds in the hopes of killing Trump and then killing Crooks to keep him silent. Unfortunately this last possibility has legs. Remember back to his Presidency, a SS agent (female) openly said she wouldn’t give her life for Trump. The current head of the SS was formerly a security chief “guarding Cheetos” (quoting Elon Musk) and not an agent raised up thru the ranks. Her whole effort has been to DEI the SS at the expense of the most qualified. There may well be SS agents in Trumps detail that are so against him that that essential hatred would be the catalyst of such a lethal attempt to take him out. Is the SS compromised?

This is a very deep level of concerning conspiracy theory. Yet it is entirely plausible given the lawlessness of the intelligence community and FBI in their illegal actions against Trump since before he was elected the first time, right thru to the current lawfare. Is the infection from the Swamp that profuse that they would take the next step to prevent a second Trump presidency from happening - now going to trying to kill him? Well, 50+ associates of the clinton’s have ‘killed themselves’, Epstine was ‘killed himself in jail, the 0bama’s cook mysteriously died paddle boarding . . . The list is almost endless.

The path forward is relative clear - security at Trump events will be ginormous, to likely include bullet proof glass around the podium when he speaks and more law enforcement, making a repeat very difficult though not impossible. If this was a conspiracy and not a ‘lone wolf’ attack, the heightened sensitivity is going to force the effort to ‘get Trump’ both more underground and any future attempt more closely connected to his security. I see no reason that a second attempt would not be tried - given that the level of desperation by the left will have grown to even more heights.

If the FBI / Secret Service keep Crooks political leanings and reasonings for the attack quiet, the suspicion of an inside job clearly grows. To preserve the process, total transparency is necessary - to include the security people who either inadvertently or deliberately failed to secure the roof.

Finally, the left was all over social media with commentary essential complaining about the poor aim of the shooter and how they must do better next time. Keep an eye on them and their ilk.

We now understand the stakes. They aren’t going to stop with lawfare. They will kill all of us if they can. Understand the moment and what we are up against.

We are living in even more dangerous times. The left has crossed the Rubicon and red lines of civility.

J D Vance on “X”
“The central premise of the Biden campaign is that President Donald Trump is an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs.
That rhetoric led directly to President Trump’s attempted assassination. “

Terrorism - Heightened THREAT as of May 6, 2024

Andrew Takhistov, 18, of East Brunswick, NJ, was charged with one count of soliciting another individual to engage in criminal conduct that involved destroying a Public Service Enterprise Group (PSE&G) circuit breaker and substation.
Takhistov was arrested on July 10, appeared Thursday in Newark federal court, and was detained.

OBSERVATION - He was in contact with Russian agents as well as law enforcement acting as a fake contact. This would be a lone wolf kind of event.

POLITICAL FRONT –

News swamped with the attempt on Trump’s life - See cw2 above.

Biden / Harris Watch –

Biden said this week that he is going to wipe out everyone’s medical debts. “I’m going to end medical debt. We’ve already made sure medical debt can’t be put on your credit report. We can wipe out medical debt for pennies on the dollar.”

China –

Taiwan’s defense ministry said on Saturday it was monitoring “waves” of missile tests taking place in China’s far northern region of Inner Mongolia and that its air defense forces were on alert.

The ministry said that from 4 a.m. local time it had detected “multiple waves of test launches” by China’s Rocket Force in Inner Mongolia, which lies some 1,200 miles from Taiwan.

In August 2022, China fired missiles into the waters around Taiwan during war games to express anger at a visit to Taipei by then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

——— SYRIA / HEZBOLLAH / IRAN———————————-

In response to the launch of two drones from Syria at Israel’s southernmost city of Eilat early Saturday, the IDF says it struck facilities belonging to the Syrian Army overnight. The two Shahed drones were shot down by Israeli fighter jets and the Iron Dome air defense system just north of Eilat. No injuries were caused. The IDF says it struck a central Syrian Army command center, additional infrastructure, and air defenses in response to the drone attack. No group claimed responsibility for the launch of the drones, though the IDF says it views the Syrian regime responsible for any attacks from its territory.

The Syrian Ministry of Defense claimed one “military martyr” was killed and three injured by the Israeli strike.

———WEST BANK——————————-

Israeli security orces arrested 30 Palestinians in various areas of the West Bank during the past two days

Much news out of Israel is swamped under the Trump assassination attempt.
However, from what Ive reviewed the current pace of fighting has continued.

Thank You.

Thanks Godzilla. Appreciate your updates last night as well. We are living in the most consequential times.

Of that, I have no doubt.

The leftists are showing their true colors with this incident.

And it’s despicable, disgusting, and reprehensibly evil to the core. Demonically evil. 👿

There is no dialogue with evil of that depth.

Thanks

Fully agree

Finally, the left was all over social media with commentary essential complaining about the poor aim of the shooter and how they must do better next time. Keep an eye on them and their ilk. We now understand the stakes. They aren’t going to stop with lawfare. They will kill all of us if they can>

The assassin is being tooted as 'a registered Republican' but they're leaving out the part about him donating to progressive causes. And the democrats response to Trump being targeted? The usual. They want conservatives to tone down the 'rhetoric' when it's been democrats all along who have whipped up hysteria about 'democracy ending' if Trump was elected. And Trump being Hitler.. They've also pushed the lie that Trump wants to be a dictator. I'm surprised democrat jerks aren't using this tragedy to push gun control. Maybe that's next week.

If democrats want to 'be respectful' they can run on what policies they're going to push rather than their hated of Trump and their hatred of us. That's all they've run on so far - their hated of MAGA.

And no, we should NEVER 'join with them'... we're two different parties and the split is real and based on different visions. We should never hold hands with these people who hate us and sing Kumbaya. How stupid do they think we are? Democrats view themselves as innocent hippies of the 60's - - that's not who they are. Biden said 'we need to put a bullseye' on Trump. And as usual, the thugs and goons in the left wing press leave that comment out of their bullshit self image. Democrats need to tone down their hate... We never call Biden 'Hitler' - they're the people who lie. do fake hate crimes, make fake death threats in our name and write letters to the editors pretending to be conservatives. I'm waiting for Bill Maher to figure out how odd it was that when he was just a liberal show he didn't receive hate letters from conservatives. That didn't start until Maher went after WOKE politics. Wemt after progressives. Doesn't that strike him a odd? Why would we object to him after he fought stupid progressive ideas?
