Contradictions on Trump’s attempted assassination pile up, with serious security breaches and officials claiming an investigation is needed to determine whether it was a matter of incompetence or malice.
To begin with, according to the ABC News, “law enforcement officials investigating the assassination attempt on Donald Trump told lawmakers Wednesday that 20 minutes passed between the time U.S. Secret Service snipers first spotted the gunman on a rooftop and the time shots were fired at the former president.”
How can one explain that?
Moreover, it is a well-established fact now that onlookers alerted the authorities about the presence of an armed man on a nearby roof. One witness reported that to the BBC shortly after the incident.
In addition, local officials in Pennsylvania are complaining that the Secret Service, in an attempt to deflect blame, is throwing them “under the bus”. According to one local police officer:
“The Secret Service came out here more than a month ahead of time and met with all the local agencies. They tell us exactly what to do, exactly what they want and exactly how they want it. It’s all on them.”
More intriguingly, several witnesses describe a second shooter, and there seems to be plenty of cell phone footage indicating that – while the Secret Service insist there was only one. According to a Times of India story, “an audio forensic analysis conducted by experts from the National Center for Media Forensics at the University of Colorado in Denver suggests the possibility of a second shooter in the incident”. A CNN story in turn reports that “forensic analysis suggests that as many as three weapons were fired at the Trump rally.”
Stephen Bryen, security expert, takes the second shooter allegation seriously, and, in his Substack newsletter, he is calling for a “solid FBI investigation with Congressional oversight” on the matter. He adds that “there is a general consensus that security at the Trump Rally was poor”, and adds:
“if the Secret Service actually approved all the security measures …we wonder, like millions of others no doubt, how could they overlook the rooftops.” Bryen is no fringe figure – he is a former Deputy Under Secretary of Defense, who writes for Newsweek, the Jewish Policy Center, and others.
Cory Mills, a member of the United States House of Representatives, takes the matter a bit further, saying an investigation on the Secret Service is needed to determine whether this was merely incompetence or rather malice, with an intent to neutralize Trump.
Cory Mills is a former military, and was a member of the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) Combined Joint Task Force (CJTF) 20 in Iraq. He is also a defense contractor, who has earned a Master of Arts in international relations and conflict resolution from American Military University. Again, this is also no fringe figure, and his allegations raise eyebrows.
Given all the above, it is no wonder suspicions abound – the fact that Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle is very close to the Biden couple certainly doesn’t help. According to the New York Post, she “landed her role thanks largely to a close relationship with first lady Jill Biden.” In any other country, by the way, after such a scandal, the Secret Service director would have been fired already or would have resigned. One thing that hampers further scrutiny, however, is an American cultural trait, namely the distaste for “conspiracy theories” (which is rather ironic in a country where conspiracies abound). Here, some context is needed.
Most scholars concede that sometimes conspiracy theories (CT) are proven to be at least partly correct. A “true” or ideal CT is supposed to always be false – meaning that its narrative does not describe reality. However, what happens when new data changes the “official” story? For instance, nowadays it is known that in 1962 the US Department of Defense proposed a false flag operation (the Operation Northwoods), calling for CIA operatives to actually commit terrorist attacks against American civilians and military targets in American cities (with bombings and hijackings) and then using those to justify a Cuban invasion. Then President John F. Kennedy rejected the plan, but the proposal existed, and no one denies it.
It is thus not clear at all how a “correct” conspiracy theory (one which later happens to be proven true) differs from a false one. Was it a CT when critics argued that the US government had lied about the real motivations which led it to invade Iraq? Other authors define “conspiracy theories” in a more neutral manner as any hypotheses that try to explain an event by invoking a “conspiracy” – namely, a secret plan carried out by a group of people.
One should also be cautious as to avoid equating a mere CT (about anything) and a conspiratorial way of understanding society and history in general. The latter (conspiracism), implicitly holds that nothing ever happens by chance but rather everything (especially tragedies) happens by design. Conspiracies do exist but not everything is a conspiracy. On the other hand, in face of a major politically charged event, when various contradictions pile up, it would be naïve to readily dismiss everything as a “coincidence” (I would describe it as a “coincidence theory”).
With Biden’s undeniable senility getting worse, it is becoming increasingly clear he is not fit to run for the presidency again – he can barely participate in a debate or give interviews. Given this, the question then, as I wrote, is how can he govern, or rather how come has he been governing thus? In other words, who has been doing all the governing? Some talk about a “ triumvirate”, referring to Biden’s close advisers Bruce Reed, Mike Donilon, and Steve Ricchetti – the matter is far from being clear, though. One can only imagine the amount of palace intrigue going on amid this “emperor clothes” scenario.
With the ongoing political crisis, any investigation on the Secret Service will be either weaponized by Republicans against Democrats or covered up by the latter, amid a major narrative war and claims about “conspiracy theories”. The crisis is thus also an epistemic one, so to speak.
This state of affairs can only further undermine the legitimacy of American institutions, with serious consequences for the country’s stability. With a suspicious murder attempt on a presidential candidate and an embarrassingly senile incumbent president, the rest of the world holds their breath while the politics within the Atlantic superpower has just gone mad.

time to break out my rolling stones album “some girls” and play my favorite tune “$hattered”…
there is clear video evidence that a usss rooftop sniper had the alleged shooter crooks in his rifle scope but failed to shoot until crooks or someone else fired several rounds at trump. this is only possible with extremely poor training or a greater conspiracy involving the usss. americans are trained ct-s are all false except those the mainstream media projects.
self shot video uploaded that day by somebody shows the sounds of the bullets which were supposedly at trump coinciding perfectly with the clown ss on the roof behind trump shooting his gun. the ss agent who shuffled the photographer for the shots of trump fist-pumping also ducks before trump, and trump himself ducks significantly before any noises.
all of this lends to the theory that the anglo empire is all powerful, always in control of everything — in commune with aliens and supreme beings — when that notion was shattered 20+ years ago. they ate blond haired inept monkeys just like the rest of us.

“the rest of the world holds their breath while the politics within the atlantic superpower has just gone mad.”
unfortunately for the rest of the planet “the atlantic superpower” went mad many, many decades ago.
they’ve modified the audio of the now official video too. all of the a/v from the first two days is different. tons of different saved clips to compare them to. but, another thing to psychologically reflex against just makes the trumptards tard harder.
sure, i have pictures from day 1, its enough to prove some bullets came from opposite side of presumed shooter, just read my main comment below
can’t blame the jews because trump is pro israel🤣😂😂😂
no problem for real democrat — just blame putin, kim or iran, because democrats can’t learn name of iranian president, who is ethnic azerbaijanian, but his surname looks like armenian. it’s very complicated name. netaniahu’s name isn’t short, but he’s a long time in politics, so democrats remember about mr.yahoo. and who was the previous pm? hell knows! that’s why democrats are so lucky with putin: one putin for all times, short name — easy to blame.
thoughtful article.
there pretty simple check everybody can do: there were 4 or 5 victims (including 1 dead) on the stage on the right of trump. they were hidden by the stage from the presumed shooter. to cover this up, the media minimised the number of victims saying just one hit at the head and they displaced the position of the presumed shooter on its roof to give credibility to this narrative. the bullets had to come from the other side to hit those bystanders
if you hustle hard enough, you’ll get some contaminated table scraps at the end. all the people around supposed victims were rooted in place and not very interested in getting help, like the clowns watching the ladder psycho on the roof for half an hour. all the people who would follow trump would jump on board with things like murdering everyone in gaza and iraq wars. good riddance, i hope they follow him to unhappy endings, like they’ve participated in for innocent people.
“code named operation northwoods, the plans reportedly included … blowing up a u.s. ship, and even orchestrating violent terrorism in u.s. cities.”
ship like “maine” in port of havana in 1898. after that cuba becomes one big casino with brothel under management of mafia from the us. now cuba is in trade blockade by the us since 1960’s, because they chose freedom from mafia and gained it. that’s why cuba is also known as the island of freedom.
if this assassination was planned by biden’s group, they are stupid and failed. but if it was trump’s, this is very smart move, because to commit next attempt after the failed one is even more stupid and may lead to higher confrontation level up to civil war. to raise popularity of the dem.party candidate biden’s group could answer with attempt or even real murder of kamala, anyway she’s useless. biden could be the target, but he left the race.
clearly there was an orchestrated plan and mike adams of brighteon network breaks down the number of shots and that there are three different audio profiles of the 8 shots heard. which means three shooters. the american people watch television for their news and they will fall for the propaganda just like jfk, rfk and mlk. there is no hope for them to wake up. the bible is not wrong in the final book. we’re in real trouble. maybe trump is better than the war party running things.
don is all talk, controlled opposition. talk is the only thing that comes, and a continued furtherance of the satanic agenda, as in his presidency and the military operation “warpspeed”. gun bans and getting people to worship strange gods of the nwo one world religion, and getting his ‘pro-gun’ vp in eye-liner and makeup. satan is laughing.
good fake attempt designated to overthrow both biden and trump. trump is expected to lose in favor of democrats in order to push a younger class of starving wolves. “it goes on and on and on” (journey)
