Something is wrong

I put these links in so people could access the story. The US Federal Government has made two claims that I feel are implausible. The first claim is that the shooter was 'acting' alone. That means, in less than 12 hours they have claimed to research every part of his life, his contacts, his past, where he has been, who he as been with, who he may have been speaking with on-line (including on xbox/game consoles), where he trained and were he got him ammunition. I find that implausible.

The second is even more serious. This is the statement, from multiple individuals with video, that the sniper was recognized minutes before. The first claim is that they didn't know falls out because of the video evidence. The second claim that they couldn't shoot until the sniper shot first is ludicrous. The third claim that they needed authority to shoot with someone with a rifle aimed at a POTUS is so stupid not to bother in conversation. The final 'it was local cop problem' makes zero sense because they outlined the building as a risk during walkthrough.

When you start to see the Government and the Media try to make things up as they go along, it's a cover-up. Plain and simple, something is wrong.

They ran the serial number on the firearm and it came back to his dad. That quick, that simple.

“Show Dad the photo of the son to confirm.”

That’s what I have thought is the most likely thing. Dad saw the pic, and came forward.

Just musing here: I’m wondering if God’s plan required Trump to bow out for a term before he came back to finish the job at the right time. And it took that four years for the sides to be exposed in all their “glory”.

You and I both know that’s the only explanation. The fact that the country doesn’t all know yet is astounding. Surely people can’t be this dumb to think some random kid almost took out Trump.

We vets have analyzed this a lot and we all have come to the exact same thought. Deep state tried and failed. Period.

The big question is what is anyone going to do about it?

keep in mind, there was no way to communicate among the various law enforcement agencies on site....this was shut down beforehand by SS

“The kid was told to make sure his pockets were empty, he didn’t even keep his car key on him. Whoever set him up knew the drill, and knew he’d never come down off the roof alive.”

How do you know this..Source?

Donā€™t assign a conspiracy where idiotic and lazy government workers are involved. It is likely they just screwed up.

I think the bigger question is when was this rally scheduled and how would this kid know where the ā€œlineā€ was drawn for security?

They have tried everything in order to destroy Trump, but it has backfired on them time after time after time.

They know he’s going to win in November and after the recent SCOTUS ruling of presidential immunity they only have the assassination card left to play.

I will not be surprised if they try at least one more time.

The ā€œcopā€ who went up the ladder was in shorts and off-duty with no weapon and no radio.

How did they know he was a cop if he wasnā€™t in uniform?

the only time I have hope, is when I think that this is a deep spiritual struggle...and God will directly intervene in Old Testament fashion, with little explanation but unambiguous results.

we are at that stage.

it’s either direct divine intervention, or else, just status quo.

i suppose Biblically speaking, God does ask us only to trust Him and nothing else. We are at that point. So I suppose I’ll pray and get peace that way.

Something sure smells funny about all of this


What I find interesting, and no one mentions, where did this ladder come from? You don’t leave a ladder out, or it should have been a red flag to any security person.

Iā€™ll tell you whatā€™s weirdā€¦ And Iā€™ve watched the videos so many timesā€¦ Thereā€™s a woman just behind Trump in a white T-shirt and sunglasses. When the shots rang out, everybody duckedā€¦ Except for this woman, she pulled her phone out and started recording. She is either one heck of a cool cucumber, or knew she was safe

>>the reason the sniper moved his head the scopeā€¦

That the male moved his eyes off scope shows he was not trained for the role of counter sniper.

Part of the role of counter sniper is recon of his assigned area through his scope and aided by a spotter.

He would Not have better visual @130 yards of a target by coming off scope.

Interesting. Why would the Secret Service shut down communication between the different law enforcement agencies? Was it some kind of ā€œIā€™m the bossā€ issue?

In a way, it reminds of why German tank units were more effective than Soviet ones. German tanks could communicate with each other. Soviet ones could not. Everything was determined by higher headquarters only.

Someone said it was a permanent affixed metal ladder. Of course a LEO should have been positioned there.

“The second claim that they couldn’t shoot until the sniper shot first is ludicrous.”

Nothing personal, but you don’t understand Leftists. The government sharpshooters were lucky they were allowed to have ammo in their guns. I knew a guy working guard duty in NY City, in uniform with a rifle, and right after 9/11. He was stationed at one of the large train stations. His job was to stand there to soothe people. He had ammo on his body, but was not permitted to load his rifle. (I never asked him if he also had a side arm, and if so, was that loaded).

The Left fears guns, any gun, more than they fear killers.

Sounds like the anonyomus sources speculation game again.

the conspiracy only involves using the obvious laziness and idiotic government workers to advance your objectives....put in the lamest SS people, give a few select directives (ie, no command center, no centralized communication, no rooftop security, no bomb squad).

Then you communicate with the prepared/mentally ill tool (the kid) through a special phone (the “FBI” can’t uncrypt his phone apparently), and you’re most of the way there.

The lazy government workers are part of the plot...but not in the sense that they are in the know. If you watch the many, many videos....you will see that not only the SS but the other police were incompetent, overweight, scared, clueless. All by design.
