“THE SECRET SERVICE IS ON TOP OF THIS”
Powerline ^ | 14 July 2024 | Lloyd Billingsley

Posted on 07/17/2024 2:35:09 AM PDT by Rummyfan

While information awaits on Trump shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks, consider wannabe presidential assassin Oscar Ortega-Hernandez, who praised Osama bin Laden for standing up to the United States. According to the FBI:

On November 11, 2011, at approximately 8:50 p.m., Ortega-Hernandez drove southbound on 15th Street NW and made a right turn onto Constitution Avenue NW. Shortly after passing the entrance to the Ellipse, he stopped his vehicle in the middle of the road. With the passenger-side window of his car lowered, he pointed his [AK-style] assault rifle out the passenger-side window of the car and aimed directly at the White House. He fired at least eight rounds at the White House.

According to a CBS report, Secret Service agents responded to the sound of gunfire but were ordered to stand down. Secret Service bosses thought the rifle reports were “construction equipment backfiring” or a “gang shoot-out.” The attack was not noticed until four days later when a housekeeper spotted broken glass and plaster around the Truman Balcony. The president and First Lady blasted Secret Service director Mark Sullivan, but deputy national security advisor Antony Blinken told reporters “I know the Secret Service is on top of this and they will take every necessary step to correct any problems.” They didn’t.

In 2014, Omar Gonzalez, armed with a knife, jumped the White House fence and gained access to the White House. Another man drove onto the grounds and rushed the presidential residence. According to CNN, “no guard dogs were released to chase him, which is normally standard procedure.” Those breaches prompted the resignation of Secret Service director Julia Pierson. Ten years later, Blinken is Secretary of State and Secret Service boss Kimberly Cheatle, in Biden’s view, is “easily the best choice to lead the agency at a critical moment for the Secret Service.” At a critical moment, Cheatle let Crooks get within range to wound Donald Trump, kill rally attendee Corey Comperatore, and critically wound David Dutch and James Copenhaver.

“The buck stops with me,” Cheatle told reporters, adding that she would not resign. Biden should have fired her on the spot, but that failure goes beyond the Delaware Democrat’s need for a spine transplant. In our Soviet Union, as in the original, senior government officials are basically zampolits, political officers selected for loyalty, not ability. The DEI ideology, which guarantees incompetence, is basically a proxy for fidelity to Joe Biden, who said it was “time to put Trump in a bull’s-eye.” The waxworks effigy of a president now claims that comment was a “mistake.” If anybody thought it wasn’t it would be hard to blame them.

The question is, was this assassination orchestrated by the Deep State and the Democrat leadership?

It looks like a combination of verbal encouragement, planned institutional negligence in the Secret Service (all the way up to Biden and his SS Director Cheatle), an intentional and coordinated reduction and weakening of security at the event, and possibly even much, much more.

Cheatly will be gone in a few months, if not sooner.

Their incompetence allows for the Deep state to use them to continue assassination attempts.The BIden administration does not want someone new who actually does the job.

This kind if conduct makes me believe Cheatly was in an this assassination attempt,her expertise is in saying "oopsey!" and havuing people belief it...I do not believe it at all.

Do you know how dangerous it is to stand on a 3/12 roof pitch? especially a metal roof in the July Pennsylvania heat?
the Marines at Omaha Beach did not face such hardship-—be fair now! /s

The office of the Presidency is obviously just a puppet show. Nobody is really concerned if the President is assassinated because that isn’t where the decisions are made and the real power lies.

DEI and Wokeism has no place anywhere in the American work place. The left thinks the workplace is like kindergarten where you give everyone a turn, you share and there’s even nap time (work at home).

In life, merit is the ONLY thing that counts and gets you ahead. I tried to surround myself with the best people available. That made work better, the work environment better and shxt got done. Anyone not cutting it was fired or I forced to move elsewhere.

SS doesn’t go onto a pitched roof? There needs to be a complete revamping at SS.

From the article:

“In our Soviet Union, as in the original, senior government officials are basically zampolits, political officers selected for loyalty, not ability.”

At least the Soviets had secure borders.

“Cheatly will be gone in a few months, if not sooner.“

CNN or MSNBC will have a job waiting when that happens..

DEI has been a disaster. However, at the time President Kennedy was assassinated, there were egregious security gaps, as there were on the attempt on Trump’s life. At the time, the leadership of the Secret Service was entirely male, and almost all Secret Service agents were physically fit men. Focusing on DEI related incompetence is a distraction meant to pull the focus away from the deliberate orchestration of this assassination attempt. As in 1963, so in 2024. As in Dallas, TX, so in Butler, PA.

Excellent post.

Like all good Deep State cover stories it is both true and false.

DEI is a disaster—that is true.

In this particular case, however, it is a distraction to protect the guilty.

The next attempt by the SS will be more like the assassination of RFK. It will be in a confined area done by part of his detail.the shoe removal was to get Trump confused and unfocused.
