This was entirely predictable. In fact I did.
I take no pleasure in saying I told you so, but I told you so.
I warned that if Trump wasn't stopped by lesser attacks the powers that be would try to kill him - or Joe Biden to change the dynamic of the election. I have sadly been proven correct And since this failed I warn you there may be an assassination attempt on President Biden in "reprisal" for the attempt on Trump.
(As I've argued, Biden increasingly appears incapable of winning and the Progressive/Leftist project is at a critical juncture; they are about to run the table. Trump MUST NOT win. Assassinating Biden would allow them to replace him, would win a lot of Independents who would support his replacement out of sympathy - the Mel Carnahan Effect, where Missouri Democrat Mel Carnahan was elected to the Senate while dead - and could be blamed on Trump and MAGA as well as on guns. It's a win/win/win for them.)
At any rate I predicted it and voila!
There are a number of questions about this, and odd things that I think we should look at.
First, the FIB, er. FBI (you know,the guys who offered Mike Steele a million bucks for his "dossier" and used it to get a warrant to spy on Trump) is telling us exactly what I predicted they would; it was a "lone crazed gunman" who somehow knew the Secret service wouldn't be guarding a building with a clear shot and the former President. And the only person who could tell us more is conveniently dead. Counter snipers had no problem finding him AFTER he shot and took him out.
Which was proper and I am not faulting the Secret Service in that regard. But I am saying it's most convenient if more than one person was involved.
The information on the shooter is sketchy and what we are being told is very limited. His social media has apparently disappeared. Another fortuitous accident. This reminds me of the Las Vegas music festival shooting. It also reminds me of the Nashville tranny manifesto.
Apparently the shooter left no similar manifesto, or none has been found anyway, or it isn't being released.
He is listed on voter rolls as a Republican. The media is making great hay with this.
We know many Democrats changed their registration to vote in the GOP primary, driving Nikki Haley's numbers up. Juan Williams on Fox News Sunday was baffled by reports Mr. Crook was a registered Republican; why? RINO Republicans hate Trump as much as Democrats, although they don't generally use violence. No, the shooter was a radical leftist, unquestionably, and he may have changed his registration to tamper with the Republican primary. He was not a Republican. If you believe that I have this wonderful bridge for sale in a New York Borough...
Most news articles I've found do not give his birthday, nor mention the primaries. They say this will be the first time he voted in a general election, but did he vote in the primary? If so it was probably for Nikki Haley. Was he old enough to vote in the primary? Inquiring minds want to know.
The New York Post gave his birthday as 9/20/2003 So he was clearly old enough to vote in the primary.
I also wonder if the Thomas Crooks identified in voter rolls is in fact the same person. There is every reason to doubt the identification of this man.
Take this for example:
"Officials had said during that press conference that they were using the suspect's DNA to confirm his identity, because the suspect had not been carrying anything that would have identified him.
"It's a matter of doing biometric confirmations," Rojek said. "So, there was no identification on the individual, for example, so we're looking at photographs right now and we're trying to run his DNA and get biometric confirmation."'
End excerpt.
So we really don't have positive I.D. after all, at least at the point when this article was written. This article posted at 10:35 this morning.
I find it interesting that in a nation over 330 million they found this guy so quickly when they never did find the person who brought cocaine into the White House despite cameras all over the place.
Election Commission records show that in January 2021, Crooks made a $15 donation to the Progressive Turnout Project, a radical leftist group via Code Blue.
Early this morning my wife found an article in Roya News (a Jordanian news source) which quoted the shooter as saying on X "I hate Trump and Republicans". That article is now not found on a web search. I did a search on Facebook and nothing comes up under his name. SOMEBODY is suppressing information on this man.
I was able to track it back down. See it here.
The video shows a long-haired, fringe-bearded hippie-looking type who does not much appear to be a Republican.
FTA:
"A video surfaced showing Thomas Matthew Crooks, the 20-year-old accused of attempting to assassinate former US President Donald Trump, declaring his hatred for Republicans and Trump before the attack. In the video, Crooks stated, "My name is Thomas Matthew Crooks. I hate Republicans and I hate Trump."
Crooks, who appears to have suffered a head wound during the incident, carried out the attack at a Trump campaign rally."
end
I also found this. about Cooks,er, Crooks.I know nothing about this site and cannot vouch for it so take it with a grain of salt.
The gun used - allegedly an "AR style rifle" - was legally purchased by the kook's father, according to the FBI. (You know, the guys who gave us the Russian Collusion hoax and swore to us Hunter Biden's laptop was a Russkie plot.) I find that quite convenient; Mr. Biden had just renewed his calls for gun control in his press conference then SHAZAM! He has a great justification for his position.
I don't know much about guns. But I was under the impression such weapons weren't great for snipers. Anyone care to weigh in on that? Certainly the shooter was within an inch of his mark from outside the rally security zone. That is impressive shooting. I was unable to find the distance from news reports.
Another point to ponder; a number of people reported telling the Secret Service they saw someone on top of the building. Nothing was done about it. Why not? I don't think the Secret Service intentionally ignored it but I can't say for sure. But I do wonder why they didn't deal with it right away. I caught a guest on Fox News Sunday trying to justify it by saying they were overwhelmed. Maybe, but a guy on top of a building should certainly take priority, shouldn't it? And I wonder; why doesn't the Secret Service fly drones overhead for these outdoor events? They could have had a drone over this guy within seconds.
Almost immediately the propaganda media was telling everyone to avoid social media and get their news from the "trusted source" of mainstream broadcast journalism. I mean, after all, we know how fair and balanced and accurate the legacy media is and how wrong social media and conservative pundits have been! I mean, it's not like those wild conspiracy theories (like the Covid lab leak theory or the Trump spygate theory or the Hunter Biden Laptop theory) haven't been disproven time and again, right! And the media assures us the shooter was a Republican, and a gun nut, and probably a Christian to boot. He just wanted to kill Trump because, well, you know that's what Republicans do.
I was struck by the media telling us to avoid social media; it reminded me of the movie Rosemary's Baby where the pediatrician Abraham Saperstein tells Rosemary to not read books or listen to her friends. He was protecting the Devil's spawn growing within Rosemary.
At any rate Trump's handling of the post-shooting has been magnificent. Biden not so much. He came out and gave a short speech, a very tepid one at that. He DID suspend attack ads on Trump - to his credit - although it would have been politically disastrous to go after the former President at this time. But Biden did not come across as a leader at all; his was the kind of response a Senator would make. Trump was defiant and strong and looked like a President. This is going to boost his poll numbers.
How long before the lunatic fringe on the Left starts saying Trump staged the whole thing? They certainly already have been bemoaning the fact Kook, er, Crook missed on social media.
So what fringe ideas do I have about this? I think there is more to this than meets the eye, and more actors than this stupid kid. How high up it goes is anyone's guess. Is the government involved? I don't know. Are Democrats involved? I don't know. But I am confident given what I know of the social and political landscape that the Ruling Class/New World order types want Trump gone and would be willing to do just about anything to make that happen. And I had predicted this.
We are coming into a mop-up phase in American history. America as we knew it is almost dead, replaced by a new America, one that is quite alien to the vision of the Founders. Group rights and collectivism, socialist economics, fascistic governmental policy, limits to individualism and individual rights, etc. The Left thought they had it all in the bag in 2016, that Mrs. Clinton would win and usher in the new socialist era. Trump ruined that which is why they hate him so. They cannot and will not tolerate another reversal of their fortune (no matter how temporary).
I have little doubt this assassin was working with others - as surely as Timothy McVeigh had been. McVeigh was executed wih amazing rapidity, ending the investigation with few answers.
The Biden Administration, and Obama before him, tried repeatedly to put Conservative groups on the terror watch list with no justification but the word of the Southern Poverty Law Center. I suspect this attack on the Orange Menace will lead to renewed efforts in that regard, even though they are claiming it was a "lone, crazed gunman". Certainly Biden and company will redouble their efforts to enact anti-2nd Amendment laws and many squishy Republicans will probably join him.
If you ask me this whole thing stinks. Just how badly is still open to debate.
One thing is certain; the Left will use this to their advantage as much as possible and the feckless GOP will probably go along to show how "reasonable" they are. It is always this way. The media is an anesthesia, numbing conservatives and the public. Republicans fall right into line because they fear being labeled as 'extremist'. Now any Republican who speaks boldly will be attacked as fomenting this sort of thing. It will be Republicans who run for cover, not Democrats. When the Democrats steal this upcoming election the GOP will be cowed into silence by an attack on their own candidate.
Oh, one more thing. they keep bringing up the murder of Democrat Gabby Giffords as an assassination. It wasn't it was a crime of passion. The killer had no political motives, but rather was sexually infatuated with her. It was a murder and not an assassination.
Now is not the time to hide in fear. Now is the time to remember the words of Barry Goldwater:
"Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice and Moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue." While we must be careful to be peaceful and must not tolerate violence we must remember this and not be cowed. Already media folks are saying Trump needs to step back the rhetoric and call for his supporters to be more moderate and less extreme in the pursuit of liberty and justice.
If we do that they have won.
