Are Americans a Totally Conquered People?
August 3, 2024
The various “investigations” of the Secret Service’s failure to protect Trump are focused on operational and communication failures. The fact that the Secret Service did hardly anything normal procedures required has not yet raised the question whether elements of the Secret Service were involved. The failure is too large to be dismissed without investigation as nothing but a result of a collection of mistakes. The investigation that is needed is one that investigates whether elements in the Secret Service were involved in an assassination attempt on Trump, who is considered to be an existential threat to the ruling establishment.
The investigation cannot be conducted by the Secret Service, Homeland Security, and the FBI, because if the assassination attempt was a deep state plot, all else against Trump having failed, these three agencies are the likely ones involved in the plot.
A real investigation would have to answer these questions:
1. Was the acoustic evidence examined?
2. Were the fired bullets collected? Did they all come from the same rifle and was it the rifle found 7 feet away from Crooks’s dead body? Why was the rifle 7 feet away from the person alleged to have shot at Trump?
3. Why was Trump allowed to go on stage when the Secret Service knew Crooks was positioned on the building?
4. Why was the urgent information sent by the Pennsylvania police on the scene to the Secret Service not acted on and shared with Trump’s security detail?
5. Do such unprecedented operational and communicative failures of this magnitude suggest Secret Service complicity in an attempt on Trump’s life?
6. Was Crooks just a patsy whose presence was ignored because the plotters needed a patsy in place?
It is unclear that the investigation can be conducted by a Congressional committee as members are dependent on ruling elites for campaign contributions and are vulnerable to threats from executive branch agencies. The Founding Fathers made Congress weak because they feared “mob democracy.” But the consequence was to leave Congress too weak to hold the executive branch accountable.
A real investigation would have to be conducted by credentialed independent experts, but even here independence can be hard to find. So many people rely on government contracts that it is difficult for many to speak freely. The fact that physics departments and universities are dependent on federal money explains why academic physicists avoided taking issue with the 9/11 narrative.
Money speaks, and in the corrupt America of the 21st century, money is all that speaks.
