From Shooting JFK to Shooting Trump: The Paw Prints of the Deep State

Bookends: JFK to Trump

By John Wood

Oliver Stone must be overwhelmed with a sense of déjà vu these days. I am one of those unfortunate souls who, smelling the proverbial rat regarding John F. Kennedy’s assassination, went down the rabbit hole of assassination research, reading and amassing a small library on the subject. I dove deep and came up with no solid conclusions, but a severe case of the bends. I did, however, gain a healthy mistrust of our intelligence community, an awareness of the incompetence and/or complicity of the FBI, and the strong suspicion that, though undiscovered, the rat was bigger and stinkier than I had first imagined.

Stone’s movie JFK used Eisenhower’s farewell address as a mode to frame the leviathan-like culprit as the military-industrial complex. Over time, those with eyes to see and ears to hear have given the beast other names, more inclusive names: the administrative state, the bureaucratic state, the deep state. Whatever name, it is a group of non-elected bureaucrats and their affiliated oligarchs, billionaires and elitists who see the unsophisticated masses who do all of the working and creating and living and dying in this country as cattle to be corralled and then consumed.

Donald Trump wasn’t afraid to speak for those unsophisticated masses, and the deep state trembled. They couldn’t start with something so archaic as an assassination, as these days everyone carries a camera in their pocket — we are millions of potential Abraham Zapruders. So the assassination would have to be of his character; when that didn’t work, they went for his political power, and when that didn’t work they went for his wealth and his freedom through illegitimate lawfare, which needless to say, didn’t stop him.

Finally, exhausted and frightened after all their various attempts at figurative assassination had failed, they would have to fall back on the method that has persisted since probably even before March 15, 44 B.C. Actual, old-fashioned murder of their political rival.

And so, on July 13, 2024 at a Trump rally, a 20-year-old media-indoctrinated loner somehow breached the Secret Service’s security zone (our nation’s elite multi-billion dollar unit tasked with one job on that day) and slipped past local and state police units, climbed on top of a building that was unguarded and provided a perfect sniper’s perch in broad daylight with a rifle. Somehow, though the assassin had been noticed as the suspect and was observed with range-finder field glasses up to 30 minutes before the speech, the president was still allowed to go on stage.  In those last fateful minutes as attendees screamed about a man with a gun on the roof and police confronted the shooter ineffectively and counter-sniper teams began to attempt to sight-in on the killer, no one thought to get on the communication channels and get the president off the stage. Somehow, during all those minutes of screaming “gun” at a presidential rally the secret service sat there frozen. Somehow.

Ron Paul on the Assassination Attempt: Malice or Massive Incompetence?

Why We’ll Never Know What Really Happened in Butler, PA

by  | Jul 15, 2024

 

Just days after the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, theories are flying from all directions. Many who ridiculed the “conspiracy theories” of conservatives are now suggesting the whole event was a set-up to boost Trump in the polls ahead of the election. Others suggest it was the “deep state” or even foreign actors who organized it.

Former US Navy Seal and founder of Blackwater, Erik Prince, claims that “The fact that [the Secret Service] allowed a rifle armed shooter within 150 yds to a preplanned event is either malice or massive incompetence.” He went on to observe that, “unaccountable bloated bureaucracies continue to fail us as Americans,” adding that “unserious and unworthy people in positions of authority got us to this near disaster. Merit and execution must be the only deciding factors in hiring and leadership, not the social engineering priority of the day.”

Video has emerged showing that for at least two minutes law enforcement knew someone with a gun was on a roof aiming at the former President and no one communicated the need to pull Trump from the stage. You can clearly hear the crowd warning law enforcement that someone was on the roof. Yet he was unhindered until the first shots rang out.

Considering this fact, Erik Prince has a point.

If this is like any previous governmental foul-ups, we can expect hearings, investigations, and commissions that will actually serve to hide the official errors or even malicious intent by some in the government. That’s what government does no matter who is in office: protect itself from actual scrutiny and resist being exposed as incompetent or worse.

But what if there was a genuine investigation that actually revealed the truth about what happened at the Trump rally over the weekend? Could we rely on the mainstream media to even report it? This is the same media that, after Trump was clearly shot on live television, reported “Trump escorted away after loud noises at PA rally.” (Washington Post). And “Secret Service rushes Trump offstage after he falls at rally.” (CNN).

This is the same mainstream media that has been comparing Donald Trump to Hitler for years, and now pretends to be shocked that their vile rhetoric ended up in violence. There is a good reason why the mainstream media is regarded by the American public with record levels of contempt.

The current Director of the Secret Service has been interviewed expressing her dedication to “diversity” in hiring agents. What if her dedication to DEI goals led to an agency that is more “diverse” but fails at its core mission? Can we rely on the media to inform us of this? Or will they, as usual, just blame it all on the Second Amendment?

What if the problem with the Secret Service is that it was moved into the bloated, incompetent, and menacing Department  of Homeland Security, the creation of which I strongly opposed when I was in Congress?

We shouldn’t count on hearing the truth about the attempted assassination from the mainstream media. No wonder the elites remain determined to censor social media sites like Twitter/X and TikTok. We live in an empire of lies, propped up by the mainstream media. And seeking the truth in this empire of lies is the greatest challenge for us in the moral bankruptcy in which we live.

כביש עוקף פקקים

על ידי אברהם ראטה 19/06/2024

יש פטנט אחד שאין כמוהו יעיל לפתוח מסילות ללב התלמיד.

זה לא עולה כסף וגם לא דורש מאמץ. מה שדרוש, זה בעיקר מילים וקצת תשומת לב. זה הכל!

לא להאמין עד כמה זה פועל ואיך קל לחולל מהפכות על ידו. כמה ילדים נבנו מזה, וכמה תלמידים חכמים זה הצמיח.

אין כוונתי למוסר, וגם לא לעידוד, אלא למשהו חדש! פורץ דרך! אולי עשיתם את זה לבד, אבל כנראה לא קראתם על זה יותר מדי. (כך אני בכל אופן מקוה…)

‘I Was Told To Speak to You Hashem…’

Tatty My King | Dovid Edell | Waterbury Mesivta

Sep 13, 2018

{OFFICIAL LYRIC VIDEO}
_________________________________________

Tatty my King is a song that looks to give over one powerful message that is conveyed through two very relatable dimensions. On one hand, we all have challenging times in our life where we just feel disconnected. In those difficult times, we experience much confusion and uncertainty. We find ourselves wandering and wondering who we are, where we are headed and what we are supposed to be working towards. On the other hand, there are times in our life when we’re locked in to our mission and feel the beauty of closeness and connection. It is then that we are filled with feelings of belonging, purpose, optimism, confidence and hope. In both the good times and the hard ones, our tfillah remains the same: we ask Hashem to please guide us on His path, hold on to us tightly and never ever let go.

Lyrics

Low 1:
I was told to speak to You Hashem,
Maybe You can tell me who I am,
I’ve been lost too long to know where I belong,
In the end,
My only hope is that You’ll hold my hand

Low 2:
How am I supposed to see Your path,
With so many questions I have to ask,
Now I’m standing here alone I’m losing hope,
And in the end,
My tears are falling to You Hashem

High:
So Tatty my King, Father I plead, dont ever let ever let go of me, ever let ever let go of me

Bridge 1:
I need you to realize that I’m lost in my life,
So pick me up, help me stand, dont let go of my hand

Low 3:
I am here to speak with You Hashem,
Starting to see now who I am,
I’ve been lost before I know but here I stand,
Holding Your hand,
Taking a part in Your plan

Low 4:
And now I’m walking down Your path,
Even with the questions I have to ask,
It gives me hope to know that I belong,
In the end,
I’ll reach out for you and take Your hand

High:
So Tatty my King, Father I plead, dont ever let ever let go of me, ever let ever let go of me

Bridge 2:
I’m starting to realize that you’ve held me so tight,
And I’ll follow Your plan just dont let go of my hand

Bidengate

Not So Fast! Pols and Pundits Try to Divert Our Attention

In the almost-two-weeks since the “revelation” that President Biden has dementia, the politicians and mainstream media have avoided the inconvenient fact that they covered up that they knew this fact all along.  They’re trying to divert us with novel ideas such as an open convention or a “mini” or “blitz” Democratic Primary” between now and the convention.

The media and political establishment seem to think Americans will just nod and watch.  But I say, Not so fast. We have questions.

1. Why haven’t the politicians and “journalists” who have been covering up this Big Story resigned or been fired? These people didn’t just learn during the debate that Biden was demented. Biden’s dementia has been obvious since at least 2019 and has been covered in some partisan and foreign media since them. Yet now, only after they’ve been caught lying, do the political and media establishment say the emperor has no brain and that he must do the honorable thing and step down, “to save democracy.” How about the politicians and “journalists” who have been lying to us — why don’t they step down? They’ve grossly failed in their duties.

2. Why haven’t the officials around President Biden used the 25th Amendment to relieve Biden of his duties? The 25th Amendment outlines a process for removing a President who is “unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.” The public knew little about this amendment until Democrats and GOP Trump-Haters demanded that it be deployed against President Trump. Where are these screaming voices now? Officials around Biden long have had a duty to move him aside and install the Vice President as President (and never should have run Biden for President in the first place).

3. Why is age discrimination suddenly OK? Pundits and politicians keep saying Biden is “too old” to be President. Biden’s date-of-birth didn’t change during the debate. But suddenly he’s too old! Democrat powerbroker David Axelrod, who among other things managed Obama’s campaigns in 2008 and 2012, penned a piece in CNN saying Biden must step aside, because he’s too old. Axelrod says “polls” show that a majority of Americans think Biden is “too old.”

But Axelrod and our political and media establishment well know that the issue is not age but ability. These people well know how to avoid making blatant discriminatory statements. These people well know that our various civil rights laws that were designed to force employers and others to judge people based on ability and not age — or race, sex, national origin, religion, etc. But now we’re taking a huge step back and making ageism OK again.

Why this ham-fisted, offensive focus on age? Here’s a wild guess … It’s because Trump is old!  After Biden is (somehow) removed and replaced with “someone younger,” it will become a Democrat Talking Point to compare the candidates’ ages — and dismiss Trump as “too old.”

4. Who’s the secret shadow government claiming to act in Biden’s name? President Biden is a puppet — who’s pulling the strings? Yes, Virginia, there is a shadow government. What are these people’s ties, conflicts of interests, biases, etc.? And No, the shadow government is not Dr. Jill Biden. She’s obviously part of the cover up, but it’s extremely unlikely she’s been helping ramp up the war in Ukraine, or opening the border, or censoring “misinformation,” or using arcane legal theories to bring cases against Trump. Nor is Hunter Biden the shadow government, despite that President Biden says this son of his is the smartest person he knows. It’s clear from the revealing information on Hunter’s laptop that he has … other interests.

It’s no surprise that politicians have been lying — politicians gonna politician.  But the silence of what many people thought were media lions is surprising to at least some people — and to others, it confirms the worst: that our media, the Fourth Estate, the “watchdogs,” are in league with the government.  And they continue to be, even after getting caught. Instead of reporting, they’re just scrambling to cover up their own cover-up of the government’s cover-up.
