SECURITY FAILURES & DIVINE PROVIDENCE & REVOLUTION
On Saturday July 13, the republic came within a hairs-breadth – a few millimeters – of chaos and perhaps civil conflict
According to the experts, it was a close shot, about 140 yards. One former sniper said that he could teach a novice in about five minutes to make that shot nine out of ten times. Yet it missed.
Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz wrote. “A puff of wind and a timely head shift proved to be the deciding factors in keeping the bullet millimeters away from dealing a fatal headshot.” Israeli journalist Malkah Fleisher saw in it a divine intervention. “It looks like the one who recognized Jerusalem was saved by the One who created Jerusalem.” After all, God is in control of everything….every sparrow that falls. Trump himself referenced the God angle. “I’m not supposed to be here. I’m supposed to be dead.” He wrote in Truth Social: “It was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening. We will FEAR NOT, but instead remain resilient in our Faith and Defiant in the face of Wickedness.” Lawmakers with a bent toward faith tended to agree. Rep Mike Collins, a Member of the House from Georgia tweeted, “God spared Donald Trump for a reason. The hand of God is on Donald Trump.” And Florida Representative Matt Gaetz said, “I have to believe there is some divine purpose for that. There is some mission God has for President Trump’s life.”[i] Nothing is just luck. In the event, Donald Trump turned his head, and he is alive today to fight on. An evil plan was foiled, coming to nothing. “Let those who seek my life be frustrated and put to shame; let those who plan to harm me fall back in disgrace.” (Psalm 34:4) (The Israel Bible)
SOMEBODY’S GOT SOME ‘SPLAINING TO DO
One of the biggest questions surrounding the attempted assassination is, just how was it able to be pulled off in the first place. Dozens of experts, including former Special Forces, security agents and government snipers have weighed in. They are almost unanimous in pointing out that there is something really fishy about what we saw. I am no sort of expert in this area. But the first thing I noticed is the first thing they are all talking about. How was that rooftop – the prime targeting site for that venue – left unsecured? And as time went on the questions grew. Where were the surveillance drones? When witnesses pointed out the man on the roof with a gun – why was nothing done? Now we hear the counter-snipers had the shooter in his sights. Why was he not ordered to shoot before the shooter took some shots? And there is more. Here’s a sample of just some of what is being said.
Former Special Forces member and current reporter, Michael Yon: This was a major “Secret Service Failure.” But he says, he does not believe the shooter was a “lone wolf.” Suicide bombers in Iraq and Afghanistan were recruited or captured. They “were brainwashed or coerced to do it. It’s quite easy to do it. The person that’s selected and trained won’t be told what the final mission is until right at the last second. Maybe 30 minutes before. The guy who did the shooting must have known he was not going to get out alive.”[ii]
Matthew Murphy – retired Green Beret – Sniper: Teams go out weeks before site security assessment. We know every place President will be. We ensure there is no accessible place to take a shot [in the] 360 degrees environment of the podium.” The whole area is “barricaded off, inaccessible and heavily guarded….You’re going to tell me some 20 year old kid…..trained on that gun – got into the closest building – accessed the rooftop, had the time to unpack his rifle, lay down in the prone, and take 8 shots at the President before he was decisively engaged by the Secret Service. You’re going to tell me that a 20-year-old did that without it being heavily planned, coordinated with people on the inside making it happen. No way possible that that kid was able to get up there and take those shots at the President without a lot of internal help. So someone….is compromised and is a threat to our President.” His conclusion: This was a “planned attack on the President.”[iii]
Former U.S. Army sniper, Rep Cory Mills, R-Fla agrees that the very-real possibility of foul play beyond the scope of the crazed-lone-shooter. He calls it “massive negligence. A massive security breach….negligence at best.” He points out, “When the shooter was discovered on the roof, the President should have been rushed off stage.”[iv] “Bottom line is that this is massive negligence to the point of me speculating on what was intentional and what wasn’t.”[v]
What these experts were saying was that there were several glaring security failures at play that day. Let’s detail just some of them.
- The Gateway Pundit reported that “local Sheriff Michael Slupe was instructed to ‘stand down’ and not send extra manpower and SWAT teams to the rally site in advance of the President’s appearance ….This was allegedly done over the objections of Sheriff Slupe.” [vi]
- The shooter was spotted by the security team hours before the shooting. Around 3PM he was seen with a range-finder. “Around 5:30 PM, 41 minutes before the shooting, a Beaver County Emergency Services Unit officer snapped a photograph of Crooks, who was suspiciously scouting out the area…. At 5:45 PM, 26 minutes before the failed assassination attempt, the same law enforcement officer snapped yet another image of Crooks, sending it to the command center. By this time, Crooks had taken up his position on the roof.” Multiple civilians saw him “bear crawling up the roof of the building…..We could see clearly, see him with the rifle.” One man said they warned authorities. “Hey man, there’s a guy on the roof with a rifle, and the police were like, ‘huh, what?’”[vii]
The Secret Service detail never secured the very obviousness high ground, the roof of the building from which the shooter shot. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle explained, “That building in particular has a sloped roof at its highest point. And so, you know, there’s a safety factor that would be considered there that we wouldn’t want to put somebody up on a sloped roof.” Yet the Secret Service counter-snipers behind Trump’s podium set up on a room with an even steeper grade. The NY Post reported that “Cheatle admitted the agency knew the building rooftop was a security vulnerability but still opted not to position agents there, leaving it wide open for Crooks to take up an ideal sniper perch with an unobstructed view of Trump on stage.”[viii] [ix]- Thomas Crooks was spotted on the roof 30 minutes before shots were fired. WPXI reports: One of Beaver Count’s ESU Team “noticed a suspicious man scoping out a roof near the rally at 5:45 p.m., called it in and took a picture of the person.”[x]
- Lori Levi, who has attended most Trump rallies as a merchandise vendor noticed ahead of time that there were security issues with the Butler, PA rally. “I kept waiting for them to fix the basic security problems, attsince there was a direct ‘line-of-sight’ to President Trump.” She told Gateway Pundit, “They weren’t blocking the line of sight like they have in every other location. Typically they would put cranes, or heavy machinery, in the way to block a clear line-of-sight to Trump as a security protocol.”[xi]
Tin Foil Hat Stuff – or – Hard Evidence?
In a case like this, numerous reports emerge. Some will last the test of time. Others will quickly fade away. Here is a sampling of some emerging new threads.
SOMETHING UP AT THE WATER TOWER – A new video has emerged showing a “shadowy figure” come into view on the water tower in Butler, PA, just seconds before the shooting began. Here’s a description of what the video shows. “At the very top of the water tower is a smaller, round, structure at the center of the top of the tower. You will see a shadowy figure emerge at the right side of that small round structure at the top center of the water tower, seconds before the shooting began.”
FBI BRIEFING – “FBI Director Chris Wray Briefed Senators and told them that not only did the alleged shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks have a remote detonator of explosives in a vehicle he parked nearby, but he was also using ‘Encrypted Communications.’” Hal Turner asks the obvious – and most important question. “Who was he communicating with? What frequency? What encryption code?” The remote detonator would necessarily have to be connected with a blasting cap to set off the explosives. Again, Turner gives us his conclusion. “This was a well-planned, criminal conspiracy, carried out by entities in a position to supply the weapon, supply the encrypted communications gear, supply the blasting caps, supply the explosives, supply the remote detonator, and get the rifle and ladder into the secured area to be available for Crooks.”[xii] Florida Republican House Member Mike Waltz, revealed that they were told at the briefing that the shooter, Thomas Crooks, “had three encrypted overseas accounts the FBI is trying to get into.”[xiii]
FINANCIAL EVIDENCE….WHO KNEW? – There was some very curious trading going on in the stock market just prior to the assassination attempt. Based on what looked like ‘insider knowledge’ certain market players were shorting Donald Trump stocks – gambling they would fall precipitously in value in the very short term. Here’s a tweet from WiseGuys @JohnnyTabacco. “BREAKING: WHO KNEW THE HIT WAS COMING: $DJT SHORTS SKYROCKETED THE WEEK BEFORE THE HIT. FOLLOW THE SHORTS: $DJT shorts went from 7M to 15M from July 1 -July 12. They thought Monday morning Trump would be dead. Who shorted Millions of shares the week before the HIT JOB?” Another X user pointed out that a similar phenomenon occurred just before 911.
“NEW: Soon-to-be unmasked entities bet that President Trump’s $DJT stock would plummet ONE DAY before the assassination attempt. Shorts against the Truth Social stock more than doubled from July 1 -July 12, meaning, people or large organizations were predicting that by Monday the stock would plummet, something that undoubtedly would have occurred had President Trump died in Pennsylvania. This could mean some had foreknowledge of the plot against President Trump’s life and tried to profit off the coming calamity. This also happened on 9/11, where bets were placed against the stocks of major airline companies American and United a day before the attack. An investigation showed that in both cases a single entity and a well placed insider newsletter tipped off investors to miraculously bet against the top two airlines in USA, who took a major hit after the hijackings.”
And here’s a headline from Mike Adams at Brighteon Broadcast News. “Blackrock-linked investment fund placed MASSIVE put options on Trump company ONE DAY before assassination attempt” Austin Private Wealth LLC exercised a ‘Put’ of 12 million shares on the stock of Trump’s media group entity, DJT. The shares were trading at &36.24 per share at the time. If Trump would have died, it would have resulted in a huge profit for Austin Private Wealth.[xiv] Yeah, but I’m sure all of this is just a coincidence!
As another X user explained: “To people outside the finance world, this DOES NOT HAPPEN without a leak of non-public information. Going into the RNC, securing Trump’s nomination, we should have seen the OPPOSITE activity, with bets for shares increasing being placed (on Trump driving traffic to Truth Social as nominee & potentially President). For decades, the clearest proof of foreknowledge of 9/11 has been the airline stock shorts, but was explained by the terrorists ‘leaking’ knowledge beforehand. Who ‘leaked’ knowledge of Trump’s assassination if it was a lone wolf acting alone? No one. Someone knew.”[xv]
So, Where From Here?
I see two tracks running from where we are at now. On the one hand, we’ve just been witness to different sort of political convention, one in which the tone of the rhetoric was turned down. There was, for the most part, a God-recognizing, God-honoring theme to the speeches. I watched in amazement, a kinder, gentler Donald Trump accept his party’s nomination, in the process describing how his brush with death had changed him. The Left would have none of it, deeming insincere and shallow. We shall all see. But the Wokesters did not back-off in their rhetoric and accusations.
On the other hand, there are the reports of a Deep State plan to destabilize the US if Trump were to recapture the presidency. [I am neither endorsing nor discounting these reports – just passing them on.] The Dems are bent on forcing Biden from the race. Internal polling is showing the President is much further behind than the public polling indicates. Some have him down double digits in states like Pennsylvania and Michigan. It was pointed out that Mr Trump wants to pull the troops out of Ukraine and JFK was bent on taking our forces out of Viet Nam. A month or so later he was dead. Several sources have warned that The Donald has to be careful of poisoning – possibly from members of his own security detail. One analyst warned of the use of truck bombs. And should Trump win, the 79 days between the election and the inauguration would be the most dangerous. In 2020 we saw Antifa & BLM riots launched on the country. According to some, that is the plan again. Massive civil unrest could be on its’ way. False Flags could be launched. Attacks by Deep State operatives on Black Churches would be attributed to MAGA groups. The idea would be to start a race war to destabilize the country. The ensuing chaos would justify the imposition martial law. Or combined with an economic implosion – and/or – a major war with, say Russia, – could actually allow the imposition of a New World Order. Scripture tells us that an Antichrist figure is coming. He will be presented as the solution to the world’s problems; the savior of mankind. He will do so in the power of Satan with deception as his tool.[xvi] “And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many.” (Daniel 8:25) (KJV) This will be part of the Devil’s war against humanity.
THE NATURE OF THE THING
What we are facing is not just some political infighting or jockeying for political power. For one thing, this is a revolution. And it is a revolution against humanity itself. History has shown, that revolutionary forces attack the things of God. Humans were created in God’s image. So, humanity in general is one target. We can see this in the slaughters that have accompanied the true revolutionary movements. [The American Revolution was of a different order that those in France and Russia and China.] But there is another, specific target of these convulsions. In both cases, the motives are driven by occult forces. The target is Christianity and Christians. We saw this in the beheading of nuns and clergy in 18th century France. There was the enforced atheism of the Bolsheviks when they took over Russia. It was the same in China. In August of 1936, the Republican forces in the Spanish Civil War, formed a firing squad to behead a statue of Jesus. America, having once been built upon a Judeo-Christian foundation is an affront to the demon-driven powers that seek destruction.
We can see evidence of these themes through the threats that we face. Widespread abortion and assisted suicide, are attack on life itself. Life comes only from God. The Trans Movement targets our sexuality, our personhood. Open borders and unlimited immigration undermines the sovereignty of the country. It tears down the culture that unifies the nation. It subverts the underpinnings of what it means to be an American. Revolutionary tools are not limited to these. There is the establishment of the surveillance state, the destruction of the Dollar, the exploding crime, the elimination of a fair system of justice….And on and on….
We have to understand that we are in a spiritual battle. “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” (Ephesians 6:12) We are the targets in a war against TRUTH. CIA Director William Casey, once candidly admitted as much. “We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.” Jesus explained the connection once, when He addressed the Pharisees. “You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.” (John 8:44) Thus, we are facing the father of lies and his loyal children. But not to worry. We have the victory. As Paul told us, “Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.” (Romans 8:37)
