As Americans tried to piece together what happened at the Pennsylvania rally where a 20-year-old attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump, social media users falsely identified the shooter and sparred over whether the assassination attempt was staged by the right or the left.

The posts sparked confusion and vitriol even as legitimate details about the events emerged.

The FBI confirmed that Thomas Matthew Crooks, of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, shot at Trump

Both would-beassassins were used in recent commercials by Blackrock. Routh being a protestor wearing a flag in his commercial.

Tell me thats not coincidental.

True, they should have been able to hit him. But at least they made him flee.

The Deep State failed in the first attempt AND made the themselves (DOJ) look like the Three Stooges...they staged this to make themselves look competent...”they foiled the assassination attempt.”

Too many contacts with CIA and CIA ops in Ukraine for Routh not to have been a CIA asset. Twice now. The next time it has to be something like an added SS agent who simply shoots him from five feet away in front of God and everybody.

The good news is that the head of the SS and his very special agents are car pooling now.

Crooks was more likely pretty much what he seems to have been, An unbalanced kid. He had had contact with FBI some months prior to his attempt at glory as had almost all or in fact all of the school shooters after Columbine. All it takes is some fatherly counseling and some hints like “that shooter last month will be remembered forever, he is famous!” Routh had lots of contacts with CIA.

The fogging of information by the FBI is the clearest indication that these were government ops.

I just find it weird that this guy went over to the Ukraine to fight but only recruited from I’ve read. He was going to stay to the end of the war but didn’t. Comes back to the states, takes a gun and a Go-Pro to the golf course when Trump’s game wasn’t on a schedule (luck? perserverance? tip-off from CIA?) and then...nothing. He didn’t take a shot, his camera, gun or backpacks which must’ve had his fingerprints on them, just jumped in his car and drove until they caught up to him. Was he planning to or supposed to shoot, or was he just supposed to rattle Trump? It feels more like a psyops mimssion than an assasination one. This is the same guy who exhibits a strong hero complex but never follows through. What CIA professional would recruit such a guy to actually shoot when he seems to just be a big talker?

This guy gave up too easily in the chase, He wants to tell on the deep state. He didn’t want to take a kill shot he wants to be famous and 30 minutes of fame.

CBS offering what it calls facts? I thought they swore off facts during the Vietnam war.

This was a set up for then next one that will take out a whole MAGA Rally, a rocket or mortar. Maybe a drone attack with a bomb—kill Trump and as many of his followers as possible—then blame MAGA for thee attack and arrest them! All the death and destruction on TV to intimidate the public and accept Harris or anyone selected to be a Deep State puppet? How is that for a conspiracy theory? Crazy enough? Who pays for it George Soros who else?

"A manhunt is underway in Arizona for a suspect who threatened to kill former President Trump ahead of a rally in the Copper State on Thursday.

The Cochise County Sheriff’s Office has identified the suspect as 66-year-old Ronald Lee Syvrud.

The sheriff’s office said Syvrud has outstanding warrants from the state of Wisconsin for DUI, failure to appear for DUI and from Graham County, Arizona, for hit-and-run and felony failure to register as a sex offender."

“Routh’s adventures into ukeland - and consequent relationships - were the equivalent of Oswald’s defection to Russia and Cuban efforts.”

Interesting parallels.

“I think this shooter is a “Kite” someone who unofficially works for one of the 3 lettered agencies who will do their dirty work and if caught gets disavowed...”

And then gets dead.

Really. When I saw that earlier today ... weird. Not possibly coincidence.

Regarding the Blackrock “commercial” , it wasn’t .

Routh appeared in a fund raising video for the AZOV Battalion ( Nazi’s) .

The link to the original post on X claiming it was a Blackrock commerical had been amended with the correct information .
