I have spent the better part of the weekend chasing down reports on the DJT assassination fail.Zero out all the ‘lower the temperature‘, ‘restore civility‘, ‘both sides bad‘, ‘brought it on himself‘ voguing. Zero out the phony outpourings of well-wishers who have been preparing Trump eulogies since 2016. In short, turn off the noise.That leaves the event itself and the event particulars do not sum up. There is a broad consensus that the event was a massive security fail. Agreed. The expiscatory Q is, was the fail procedural (i.e., incompetence) or operational (i.e., a sanctioned kill fail)?The MSM quickly shared the same ‘lone gunman’ script. The ‘lone gunman’ script walls off confederates and sponsors and restricts motive to a single player who can be painted up in an FBI paint-by-numbers profile.Let me table-set with these:

- Pelosi: This Is Not A Normal Election, Trump Must Be Stopped July 2, 2024
“This is not a normal election where you want to win and if you don’t, you cooperate and do the best you can for the country and hope to win the next time. This is something that is undermining our democracy. He must be stopped. He cannot be president!” Pelosi said about former President Trump.
Now have a look at the below (I’m patching together disparate clues so dates don’t necessarily sequence).- Video Shows Trump Shooter Moving On Roof, People Pointing Him Out Before Shooting July 14, 2024
For context, this was filmed 5:06 into the speech. The shooting happened 7:06 into speech. Two minutes to act or pull Trump off stage. - Local Cop Confronted Would-be Trump Assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks On Roof Moments Before He Opened Fire, But Failed To Stop Him July 14, 2024
The officer…encountered Crooks, who pointed his AR-style rifle at them [sic]. The officer then backed down the ladder, and Crooks immediately took aim and loosed about eight shots at the former president… - Video Shows U.S Secret Service Spotting And Watching Shooter Prior To Shots – DOING NOTHING, Then Flinching With Inbound Bullets July 13, 2024
- Veteran With World Record For Longest Confirmed Sniper Kill Comments On Trump Assassination Attempt July 15, 2024
Dallas Alexander, veteran sniper for the Canadian military who provided close protection for major world leaders: “I’m very familiar with the layout of these types of things and what the job should be, and yesterday what happened, I have no doubts in my mind that the shooter had help from somewhere within an agency, an organization or the government. … You cannot, in broad daylight, get onto a rooftop within, what looked like a couple hundred yards if that [of the president]. You can’t get in that position with a gun when there’s a president speaking. It cannot be done.”

Of the several eyewitness interview videos I have watched, the spectrum of shots fired runs from 5 to 8 to 10. SO. A ‘comically bad’ shooter enters a security perimeter with a rifle in plain view; climbs a ladder (!) to a roof; bear-crawls to a clear-line-of-sight vantage ~130 yards from the target; is observed by multiple civilians AND a Secret Service sniper and spotter detail; encounters an LEO, who retreats; takes firing position; acquires his target; squeezes off 5+ rounds, one of which has lethal precision, before being ‘neutralized’. [Pause.] Your thoughts?
The aftermath:
Your thoughts? [Pause.] Keep in mind ‘conspiracy’ theories ‘debunked’ in the press have tended to rapidly age into exposés then into factual consensus.
[Pause.] Thirty-two people had film or photograph cameras, in Dealey Plaza, most famously Abraham Zapruder. Of the thousands at the Butler rally almost all had active camera phones.
