Some say that it is too early to know what explains Trump\u2019s near assassination. However, a good case can be made that we already know all we will ever know. The passage of time simply allows official narratives to be constructed, and they are used to muddy the waters.<\/p>\n

I support the calls for an official investigation, but government investigations are always coverups. Think the Warren Commission Report, the 9\/11 Commission Report, the NISH Report. If there is an investigation, nothing will come of it, and if by chance it does the presstitutes won\u2019t report it.<\/p>\n

We have all the information we need to form an opinion. Earlier I wrote that we have three choices of explanation for which there is evidence. But two of the explanations merge into one. The withholding by the foreign-born director of the Department of Homeland Security of adequate Secret Service resources from the Trump campaign can be merged into the incompetence explanation. So we have two choices, both supported by evidence or circumstantial evidence: Secret Service incompetence and a pose of incompetence to coverup an organized assassination.<\/p>\n

The most certain fact we have is that despite the protective presence of the Secret Service and local police, Donald Trump was nearly killed, one person was killed, and two were seriously injured.<\/p>\n

None of the shooting was prevented by the Secret Service and local police, who went into action only after Trump was down and presumably dead.<\/p>\n

So what we have is the total failure of the Secret Service. What can explain such total failure? Some say the sacrifice of professional competence to diversity and inclusion. And there is evidence for this. The Biden regime is yet to make a single appointment based on merit and ability. All appointments have been made on a race, gender, and sexual preference basis. Secret Service professionals have complained of these non-professional appointments and pointed out that the competence of the agency has been compromised by \u201cdiversity, equity, and inclusion.\u201d<\/p>\n

The reason aside, whether incompetence or complicity, clearly the Secret Service director failed. She failed to protect Trump, and if it was an official assassination, she failed to eliminate the target. So, will she resign? Of course not. She will be promoted to some higher office exactly as all were who failed to prevent the 9\/11 attack on the US.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s look at some of the indications that incompetence is a cover for a plot to assassinate Trump. The first thing that struck me was the unprotected roof tops of the buildings. As a former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury from the days when the Secret Service reported to Treasury Assistant Secretaries, this struck me as inconceivable.<\/p>\n

I also found it inconceivable that a person carrying a rifle could appear in a protected area and climb upon a building with a clear shot at an allegedly protected person and not be accosted.<\/p>\n

Initially, we were told that the buildings had, somehow, escaped the protected zone. But later we learned, for what it is worth, that the building with the assassin on top was occupied by police or Secret Service forces. How is it possible that the assassin was not seen and apprehended?<\/p>\n

We do know that the Secret Service was complicit in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy, thus depriving America of an educated and aware leadership. https:\/\/www.paulcraigroberts.org\/2024\/07\/17\/the-cias-assassination-plots\/<\/a><\/p>\n

We do know from the civil case the Martin Luther King family won that the official account of Martin Luther King\u2019s assassination is a cover up of what seems to have been a FBI operation.<\/p>\n

So many books have been written by insiders documenting the CIA\u2019s assassination of foreign leaders who took a different line from the line that Washington insisted on imposing that we have hard evidence that Washington uses brute force to enforce Washington\u2019s agenda.<\/p>\n

With the Disunited States\u2013the blue and the red\u2013more divided than the division caused by the North\u2019s determination to impose a tariff regime at the expense of the South, Trump\u2019s notion that he can achieve unity is a fantasy.<\/p>\n

There is no possibility of unity. Good and evil cannot be unified.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s responsibility, assuming a second and a third assassination attempt does not succeed, is to root out the evil in Democrat hands, in liberal-left hands, in intellectual hands, that has turned the United States of America into a Sodom and Gomorrah Tower of Babel.<\/p>\n

Trump cannot raise his fist and say \u201cfight, fight, fight,\u201d and then compromise with his and our enemies to unite Americans with evil.<\/p>\n

The one thing that keeps me from being convinced that the attempted assassination was a deep state plot to rid themselves of Trump is the absence of a pre-prepared narrative to be repeated endlessly by the presstitutes. However, the official narrative might have been prepared to cover a successful assassination, not a failed one. Therefore, there is no ready narrative. It will be interesting to see what narrative the ruling elites construct.<\/p>\n
