Here’s another outpouring of thoughts about the Trump shooting on July 13, 2024. I say “shooting” and not “assassination attempt” because the man was actually shot. Getting a bit of an ear blown off is still “getting shot”. I don’t expect this post to reveal any profound “Aha!” revelations but I’m one of those people that enjoys writing and find that it also helps me discover and develop new ideas that relate to whatever it is I happen to be writing about.
First and foremost and obvious to just about every human without some type of cognitive disability, the location of the shooter almost screams out that there is a whole lot more to this story. I do not think there is any possibility that it was simply a random nerdy, 20-year-old, Trump-hating young man wanting to die while executing one of the most famous assassinations in human history. The fact that the rooftop location where he fired from was left unguarded tells me that the shooter was expected by the entity that had the most authority and control over security at that event. According to everything I have seen so far, that agency was the United States Secret Service (USSS).
It is well-known even to many people without security of law enforcement experience that the USSS has been a very efficient, professional and thorough organization for a long time. Prior to an event like a rally featuring a former president (who is granted life-long USSS protection), one of the most crucial responsibilities the USSS has is to scout the location in advance of the event and identify every single location that would need to be secured and guarded for the event. Without the benefit of that action, protecting anyone at the rally would be a thousand times more difficult.
Initially, I was willing to entertain the notion that the USSS after nearly four years under the Biden Administration had simply become so inefficient, unprofessional and bumbling that it could have been simple incompetence that resulted in shooter’s rooftop perch remaining unguarded. I have since decided that simply is not possible. To presume so would necessarily indicate that the USSS personnel assigned to that event had received no training related to protection and security whatsoever. And that every other law enforcement official or security professional at the event also had little or no training relating to executive protection. I suspect that even a 10-minute instructional video on the subject would have prepared them sufficiently so that they would have been paying close attention to every potential location within shooting distance of the event stage. Apparently, they did not even have the benefit of that minimal training if we are to believe that it was all just an unfortunate oversight or that the roof was just “too slopey” (it was not) to station USSS personnel on. That just does not seem possible even when considering the clown show we know as the Biden Administration.
In addition to that, I saw a number of videos from the event within a day or two that proved that more than one of the rally attendees actually saw the shooter on the roof and were desperately trying to make law enforcement and security personnel aware of that. How in the world could anyone ever imagine that numerous civilian attendees – just regular folks – were able to spot the shooter on the roof when supposedly well-trained USSS agents and other law enforcement professionals at the event whose actual job it is to be looking for that kind of thing, did not see the shooter. Or if they did, as some reports are suggesting, did nothing about it until after the would-be assassin fired several shots? It’s ludicrous to believe that the above factors were all just “accidental” and due to incompetence.
And we all know what that means.
With new rumors of a second and possibly even a third shooter, this one is starting to look more and more like the JFK assassination in 1963. And at this point, I have very little doubt that it is essentially the same people that are responsible. Utterly corrupt and evil persons at the highest levels of our Federal Government institutions and especially those in the intelligence agencies and executive branch. There is very little doubt at this point that the JFK assassination was an “inside job” and likely included assassins that were associated with the CIA and organized crime. Both of those entities had reasons to despise Kennedy and decided to be rid of him once and for all.
It may be extraordinarily difficult for many Americans to accept but I believe what we have seen over the last few years beginning with the Covid “pandemic” removes any doubt about how evil some of our elected leaders and other high level government officials are. As an agnostic, I usually have difficulty with the idea that some evil spirit entity (“Satan”) actually exists but I will say this. The realization regarding just how completely evil some humans can be makes me think an entity like that might actually exist. It is hard for me to accept that evil like that is something that is simply inherent in some human beings.
And this leads me to another thought that’s related. As an agnostic, I usually have difficulty believing that there is a great and all-powerful entity watching over us that is commonly referred to as “God.” The Trump shooting may have moved the needle a little for me regarding the potential existence of such an entity. The absolutely incredible events that played out on July 13th at that rally are beyond incredible to me. The fact that Trump turned his head at exactly the right moment to avoid being shot in the head and almost certainly killed on the spot pushes the limits where “coincidence” is concerned. All three shots that were fired first in fairly rapid progression missed hitting Trump in any vital area.
This latest event is almost a kind of logical next step in the efforts that have been orchestrated over the years to take Trump down. What’s striking is that all of those efforts have failed, some spectacularly like the assassination attempt on July 13th. As the prior efforts to take Trump down failed one after the other in recent years, I began to entertain a peculiar notion. What if Trump was somehow intended to remain standing and lead this country again? I suppose by that I mean that maybe an entity such as “God” has selected him to turn things around in this country and has been protecting him from those that have been trying to destroy him.
Doesn’t it seem odd that people who are so good at overthrowing foreign governments, killing people they don’t like and generally doing anything they please to almost anyone just are not able to take down Donald Trump over a period of years? It surely seems strange to me that he has sailed through each of their attempts and only seems to end up better off in the long run? Their efforts to destroy him seem much more likely to make him stronger and more popular with the people. I cannot help but wonder if he has been protected by forces much more formidable than any human being.
And why Trump? That is surely a question I have no answer for. But thinking back on various stories I learned from The Bible as a youngster, God did not always select the kinds of people you might expect to play important roles that were central to his plans. It just strikes me as something God might do since a character like Trump might be someone you would least expect. Frankly, I never cared much for Trump before he became president. I voted for him only due to my disdain for Hillary Clinton although I have always voted more for conservative candidates in the past. I suppose I was not fully convinced that Trump was the conservative he claimed to be, especially since he came from New York City.
After he was in office for a while I gained a real appreciation for Trump and his accomplishments and began to consider myself a supporter. Still, as far as personality goes, he isn’t my favorite person on earth, although I do actually like him now and badly want to see him win the election in November. Getting back to my point, it just seems like something God might do in picking a somewhat egotistical and braggadocios guy like Trump to act on his behalf and bring our nation back from the absolute lunacy we have been witnessing since the beginning of 2021.
If it is subsequently revealed that there was more than one shooter on July 13th, as recent rumors claim, it would be difficult for me to argue that what happened on that day was not divine intervention. I do still consider myself agnostic since the events of July 13th do not absolutely prove the existence of a divine entity but like I said previously, the needle has been definitely moved a little for me.
