jamming the cell phone reception (reported by several attendees, and the responsibility with FirstNet I understand, whose Board of Directors includes Mayorkas head of DHS and Garland the corrupt head of the Dept. of Justice) was part of the inside job setup, in my view.

Ben Shaffer, a SWAT counter sniper protecting Donald Trump during the J13 assassination attempt, says the Secret Service declined radios from local law enforcement and didn’t station anyone in the communication center.

Instead, they asked local law enforcement to relay information to them "over a cell phone."

"In most security postures for these types of events, there is someone actually physically co-located for that reason due to possible loss of cell phone services, which we experienced that day."

Shaffer also said Crooks' use of a rangefinder would have elevated him from a "suspicious person" to a "person of interest," which would have "warranted some type of investigatory detention."

Erik Prince's opening statement to the J13 Forum examining the attempted assassination of Donald Trump:

@realErikDPrince
: "We're here today to discuss a tragedy for the USA that could have been the catalyst in the destruction of our Republic. World War I started with botched Diplomatic Security. The assassination of one party's leading candidate a mere four months before the election, at minimum, would have unleashed unimaginable chaos and violence...

The cancerous rot of unaccountability has metastasized throughout our entire body politic. Our obscene levels of government waste ooze like a gelatinous mold across society.

Our borders are so porous they are reminiscent of a spring flood tide. The security apparatus suffers failure upon failure globally, our enemies mocking us, even while the permanent Deep State has weaponized the justice system and delivered a Soviet-style of lawfare.

In the case of Butler, Pennsylvania, only the disinfectant of transparency and accountability will start to repair the cascading errors that led to the tragedy.

There is no question that a failure in coordination, communications, training, and leadership failed America in Butler, Pennsylvania, with tragic results...

I think especially as we think of the anniversary of the debacle that was Afghanistan, the theme of no accountability across all our agencies rings true because no one has been held accountable for anything in Afghanistan or anything since."

He’s lawyered up.

Why lawyer up if you have nothing to hide?

What did the father of Thomas Matthew Crooks know, and when did he know it. And how is he affording this? I thought he was a social worker…

How does a social worker afford a powerhouse attorney?

Who is paying?

I’m looking at it from the angle he thinks his son was lured into taking the fall.

Crook’s Dad wants his kid exonerated to the point of, he did it, but was manipulated into doing so.

If he needs to take down the FBI for a shoddy investigation, I see ZERO issue with that

The cap must have been important. The female Secret Service agent picked it up after the make-up artist dropped it. By bending down, she would have made it possible for a second shooter to shoot Trump.

Perhaps she was not responding as a hardened Secret Service agent who has practiced with a team, over and over and over, how to handle such live fire events.

Perhaps she was responding more as a mother, picking up stuff that falls as she goes. Or if she's not a mother, perhaps she's a habitual neatnik.

===

This above comment of mine is in line with much of my thinking on this ... don't presume that people responded as you would have, nor as you think they should have given their official role or duties that day. Rather presume, as Hypothesis #1, that everyone acted "in character", in a manner that is consistent with how they commonly behave.

This includes Trump, the patsy, the real sniper(s), the counter-snipers, the close and competent agents, the ad hoc additional agents, the crowd, the wounded, the killed, their friends and family, the photographers, the various city/county/state law enforcement, the social media click bait attractors, the serious weapons and security analysts, those with prior Secret Service experience, the MSM, the FIB, the CIA, powerful behind the scenes political operatives, and conspiracy theory analysts, such as myself ...

For each of us, given who we are and our habits, and given what we likely knew at any given moment in those events, how might we have acted or responded in those moments?

Then given that above hypothesis, is there a narrative that easily fits every verifiable or likely piece of data, evidence or observation with that hypothesis, including the clear and substantial evidence that certain evidence is being hidden from us and/or destroyed ?

Yes, there is. The narrative is quite simple. Presume that (A) the Deep State set out to assassinate Trump with a sniper's bullet in public view, but that (B) Trump got wind of the planned assassination ahead of time.

Presumption (A) is almost a given; it would have been more surprising to me if the Deep State hadn't done that.

Presumption (B) is not surprising either; Trump wouldn't have gotten this far without some serious intelligence into the operations of those opposing him. Trump's intelligence certainly has not been nor need to have been perfect; just "good enough", such as in this case.

Then all the rest fits, like O.J. Simpon's glove.

The image above of Thomas Crooks (next to the one of his Dad) is discussed in detail regarding the time it was taken in the video below.... that's if it's a genuine pic and not a Photo Shop thing - something that has to be borne in mind with all the images of Crooks alleged to be taken that day -

You have to wonder how the story would have been played out HAD (god forbid) the assassination attempt was successful...no matter who was holding the gun that fired, (at least) the first three shots - which IMO... were the (failed) kill shots... the other 5 seem too loose and random (to me) to be serious shots at Trump, who was already down near floor level...and sheltering... I feel they were sprayed into the crowd to cause chaos and confusion but this is just pure speculation on my part...

Not much is talked about the explosives alleged to be in Crook's car - maybe IF (God forbid) Trump had been shot in the head and killed 'someone' would have detonated them and the story would go..... Crooks escaped and got in his car to escape but accidently detonated the explosives..... no body - no interrogation - investigation stalemate (like it is now)

just speculation of course.... but what were the explosives supposed to be for...?

anyway the video about the Crooks image - (17:03)

This is over a month old... made in just the first few days after the attempted assassination on July 13. It's a re-upload, without credit, of a Brannon Howse Live show (tsk, tsk, sganon).

However it's a good show

When Michael Yon says it was "staged", I first figured he was just saying it was a real assassination attempt, but just one that was deliberately done in a dramatic public setting, rather than out of sight of substantial public video view. Michael Yon also observed, correctly I figure, that this was not a "lone nut shooter" acting on his own. The kid on the roof (Crooks?) was a patsy, managed and groomed for such operations by others.

However then Michael Yon uses the actual word "kayfabe", and notes that this couldn't have been a serious attempt, because it was practically and intentionally incompetent. A serious and competent sniper team would have shot Trump full of holes, with simultaneous shots, that wouldn't miss, from multiple coordinating snipers. This wasn't just the Secret Service or Trump's security ... this came from "higher up", managing both sides for this result, for the drama, the kayfabe, that we all saw.

Michael Yon knows his stuff and has extensive experience photographing just such operations, up close and personal, in both Presidential security operations and in live (and deadly) combat situations, with the same model of camera equipment, and if I were a betting man, I'd have to wager he's right on this call.

(Which isn't to say that the CIA/FBI/Secret Service/DHS/... assets directly involved in running and then covering up this operation weren't deadly serious, fully engaged, albeit without adequate competence, in trying to kill Trump.)

[ThePythonicCow]

From about the 20 minute mark to the 30+ minute mark of the following video from Gary of Paramount Tactical, we get solid evidence that the 9th shot, that was shot by a SWAT shooter standing on the ground, did hit the stock of the gun that the patsy (Crooks?) was holding.

That shot went between the patsy and the stock of the gun, which the patsy was holding to his right shoulder, by the right side of his head. That shot blew off a couple of pieces of the stock, and likely is responsible for removing some of the patsy's hair and/or scalp that was closest to that stock, around and behind his right ear. The damage to the gun stock is clearly enough visible.

Then about 10 seconds later, the patsy stuck his head up again, to see what was going on, and the Secret Service sniper on the southern roof got off the final head shot that killed the patsy.

===

P.S. -- Look again at the 41:46+ marks for the same images of the busted stock. Look also at the 24:32+ marks for what that gun stock should look like, undamaged.

===

P.P.S. -- Then at the 59:08+ marks, Gary of Paramount Tactical disputes the multiple shooter evidence.

If the patsy (Crooks?) shot the first three with the rifle muzzle over the ridge line, then shot the next five shots from behind the ridge line, then those first three shots could well have had somewhat different audio characteristics than the next rapidly fired five shots.

Gary's opinion here is the clearest and most compelling I've heard disputing the "two shooter" hypothesis that I've held rather firmly, for most of the time since July 13.

If the Deep Stater's only sent up one shooter, a 20 year old patsy, then that pretty much destroys the hypothesis I've been supporting, that the initial three shots came from a professional sniper with whom Trump "made a deal": "Miss me and you get to live." Instead we're dealing with one of
(1) a dumb luck near miss, or
(2) a miraculous near miss, or
(3) Trump actually did put his life on the line anticipating the patsy to miss, at which time he and his closest agent applied the prepared stage craft to present the appearance of a near miss.

I will have to grant Gary's got some good points here however. The two main differences, in (1) echo and (2) frequency spectrum between shots 1-3, and shots 4-8, could both well be, to my limited knowledge, explained by moving the rifle behind the roof's ridge line for those shots 4-8.

If the would be assassins only sent up one shooter, a 20 year old patsy, then that underscores the observations of Michael Yon, in Post #1434 above ... that the would be assassins were at least as incompetent as Trump's so-called security, all like a Keystone Cop slapstick comedy from over a century ago.

The two main observations that lean toward a single, patsy, shooter are:

1. Perhaps the audio differences between the first three, and the second five, shots are adequately explained just by moving the rifle muzzle from in front of the roof ridge, to behind the roof ridge, between these two sequences of shots.
2. If there really were two shooters, in locations separated by any non-trivial distance, then some of the people on the ground would have noticed that those two series of shots came from two different locations, just from hearing sounds from two distinct directions.

The first of these two observations doesn't lead to there being only one shooter, but does remove key evidence for two shooters.

The second of these two observations might be explained away (in my amateur speculative thinking) as follows:

The second series of shots, the five rapidly fired shots, might have come so close to the first three shots that by the time people's surprised brains unraveled what they had just heard, whatever distinctly different directional signs came from the first three shots were masked by the five shots in the second series.

This matches my personal experience in other matters -- surprise me with a short series of sudden surprising sharp stimuli, and I will tend to focus more on the details of the trailing stimulus, inadequately distinguishing the earlier stimuli in the series.

Gary of Paramount Tactical might react to the same series of 3, then 5, shots quite differently than I would ... what's a surprisingly and shockingly loud burst of shot sounds to my ears might well be a more detailed, better recognized, series of distinctly recognized shot sounds to Gary's well trained ears.

Could one of you please superimpose two pictures of Trump's ear so that the upper one is semi-transparent and the one underneath is still recognizable.

The first picture should show the bloody ear and the second the small bandage.

The wound should be in the middle of the bandage, shouldn't it?

This would allow the wound in the bloody ear to be localized precisely.

Some people think that the circled area is the wound, but when I look at the small bandage, it looks to me as if the wound should be at the edge of the bandage, which would be very unusual.

• ‘Extensive Attack Planning’: New Details Emerge Of Trump’s Would-be Assassin:

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=ZwRdF7cakZc

The FBI has revealed new information on Donald Trump’s would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks. It was concluded that Mr Crooks had no clear ideology and had been searching online for events involving both Mr Trump and President Joe Biden. He had also looked at both the Republican National Convention and Democratic National Convention as possible targets. The FBI has also released images of the would-be assassin’s gun and explosives that were found inside his car following the shooting. An FBI official revealed that Mr Crooks engaged in a “sustained, detailed effort to plan an attack on some event, meaning he looked at any number of events or targets” before he became “hyper-focused” on the Pennsylvania Trump rally when it was announced in July. It’s also believed Mr Crooks conducted “extensive attack planning”.

Eh ... if it's a fresh, bleeding, wound, I might want a larger, fully covering, bandage (as I vaguely recall seeing in another photo of Trump).

But if the wound is partially healed and one is just keeping potentially annoying or abrasive disruptions off the center of the wound, then whatever was convenient or cosmetically adequate would be fine, in my (totally non-expert) view.

• Dan Bongino Issues Blunt Warning To Lawmakers About Trump Assassination Attempt:

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=I3-pnv7x4TM

At a House Republican forum on the assassination attempt on former President Trump, former Secret Service agent and pundit Dan Bangino shared his take on how to prevent something like this from happening again.


Why not invest money to perfect mobile acoustic tracking system that can be used everywhere where it is needed and make the necessary upgrades & improvements when using it on ALL possible dangerous locations/areas!

This does not have to be expensive ... if it really works, the system & the use of a sophisticated program can both be duplicated many times over if it has shown to be accurate ... when used on more locations throughout all 50 states, it will lower the costs overall.

Imagine, they know the location of the sniper/shooter within seconds! If it really works, they ALSO can pinpoint MULTIPLE SHOOTERS, thus if there is a conspiracy they can NOT deny it anymore.

This may prevent so much more horror, because those who are part of a (future) conspiracy, may decide to back down, because they know they get exposed by this system.

It really baffles me WHY nobody talks about this option ... MEANWHILE, they ask everybody who recorded the shootings to help "locate" other possible shooters, correct?

Why should I bring this up and not the Secret Service? or The FBI?

Once again, the FBI is lying. It is 100% NOT “standard procedure” to cremate a body at the center of a major criminal investigation BEFORE a following investigative authority has had an opportunity to examine that body, when the FBI is VERY MUCH AWARE that a following investigative authority is coming right behind them. Same thing with a crime scene. The FBI is acting like they’re royalty. They. Are. Not.
But that’s all right, it’s cool. Best served cold, actually. I’ll have these oppressors of truth before Congress.

Where is the wound?

Side note: Even billionaires have hair in their ears

[Daniel59]

Only the kayfabe theory can answer the following questions satisfactorily (random order):

1. Why didn't Trump have private security with him to make sure the Secret Service didn't make any mistakes?

2. Why didn't Trump call for the Secret Service agents involved to be fired after the assassination attempt, when that's his favorite thing to do?

3. Why were photographers standing behind the stage sent to the front by the secret service shortly before the shooting?

4. Why did Trump deviate from protocol one minute before the shooting and display the chart on the screens?

5. Why the bodycam video of the security forces, who were the first to reach Crook's body and would therefore have had the opportunity to place shell casings there, is still being withheld.

6. Why was no video (red baseball cap) released showing Crooks firing all 8 shots?

7. Why did the Secret Service bodyguards let Trump stand on stage for 30 seconds after he got back on his feet?

8. Why did the sound of the bullet flying very close to his ear canal not damage his hearing?

9. Why didn't Trump have a photo taken of his ear in hospital or after a bandage change and publish it?

10. Why was no video released showing a bullet hitting Trump's ear, even though there were about 200 spectators sitting behind him in the center stands?

11. Why did the professional sniper miss Trump 3 times even though Trump only ducked his head down 4 inches when the 3rd shot was heard?

12. Why did one of the Secret Service agents wipe the center streak of blood off Trump's cheek with a towel?

13. Why was Trump's baseball cap so important that the Secret Service agent held it in his right hand the whole time and it was picked up twice by other Secret Service agents after it fell to the ground?

14. Why was the fake assassination theory not promoted by the left-wing mainstream media?

Can any of you think of any other questions?
