TRUMP ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT: Federal Snipers Overlooked Rooftop Sniper from 40 FEET AWAY could have just WALKED OVER TO STOP HIM

by Benjamin Wetmore Jul. 18, 2024 1:20 pm542 Comments

Eyewitnesses from the ground who saw the shooter on the roof at the Butler Trump rally describe seeing snipers in the second story building of the AGR Building in Butler Township, Pennsylvania.

Speaking yesterday exclusively to the Gateway Pundit, the eyewitnesses said there is a lot more to the story that is not being reported by the mainstream media.

Though they could not get a clear look at them, they describe seeing one sniper in particular with a sleeve tattoo. The building staff had been chasing off Trump supporters earlier that day, people who wanted to walk up on the property to the security fence to get a better shot of America’s President. Later, when the group tried again the security was nowhere to be found so they went onto the field.

While there, they witnessed a man crawling on the roof and for what ABC admits is at least twenty minutes, and witnesses say was at least thirty minutes, trying to warn security as to what was going on, but there were no police and no security on this entire side of the Trump rally.

But they did notice some kind of security team inside the building on the second floor.

The windows for the second story were open so that the team of snipers inside had a clear view of the Trump Rally field.

What one cannot tell from that picture is that, on the other side, there are two windows that almost perfectly overlook the location where federal authorities claim the body of Thomas Crooks was found.

It doesn’t explain how these trained snipers did not notice Crooks on the roof when there are multiple windows that would have made it obvious where he was.

A reader sent in this image, which shows both the open window from the sniper location on the second floor, and the body of the alleged sniper on the roof with the rifle nearby.

You can see the windows in this photo of the Gateway Pundit’s drone flight over the Trump Assassination crime scene.

The alleged sniper was crawling around on the roof for a half hour as people were screaming that there was a sniper on the roof. The sniper team inside the building on the second floor, had to have heard their screams and their pleas. During this time they did nothing to stop the sniper on the roof who was just forty feet away from multiple windows where they would have seen him.

The federal narrative around the Butler, PA Trump Rally shooting has been falling apart hour-by-hour since Saturday.

Fed. Law Enforcement Controlling News about Trump Rally Assassination Attempt With Disreputable Anonymous Sources

by Benjamin Wetmore Jul. 18, 2024 3:00 pm0 Comments

Last Saturday, July 13, 2024, someone took several shots at President Trump as he spoke at a MAGA rally in Butler Township, Pennsylvania. Trump was struck in the ear and arose bloodied but defiantly triumphant, telling the assembled crowd to “fight, fight, fight!”

The amazing photography, taken by Evan Vucci of the Associated Press, who was quick to capture the moment, resulted in the now-iconic photo, which hearkens back to raising the flag on Mount Suribachi during the April 1945 Battle of Iwo Jima.

The photo is so powerful, left-wing media editors have demanded outlets stop using it because it so obviously helps Trump.

But since that moment, and after the Secret Service rushed off stage, the information that has come out has almost entirely been shaped by the same federal law enforcement whose actions, and possible active actions and negligent inactions, put Trump in the position to have shots fired at his head.

Nearly all of the major claims and information about the Trump Butler rally shooting come from anonymous federal law enforcement sources in mainstream media outlets, and many of these statements seem self-serving, distracting, and obvious lies.

Disproving these federal lies becomes difficult because they are so poorly sourced in the media stories. Media outlets typically just refer to the original reporting by another outlet, and then it progressively becomes accepted fact that certain events transpired, even though their original sources are unidentified and the veracity of those claims rests entirely on the trust the original journalist has with the specific source.

On a high-profile story like this, reporters are desperately hunting for tips and leads to provide more fodder to write about the topic, but have very little to offer the public. So when a federal source comes bearing a tip “on deep background” it becomes appealing to use, but the reporter has no independent way to verify the tip’s accuracy. They must just take it on faith that federal authorities would not lie or misdirect them.

One claim about the relationship between federal law enforcement and the media is that it is significantly compromised to repeat the propaganda coming from Washington. This is usually referred to as “Operation Mockingbird” where the claim is that intelligence agencies of the government use widespread and systemic manipulation of U.S. media to serve its interests.

Carl Bernstein wrote, in his 1977 article in Rolling Stone, “The CIA and the Media”, that the managers, publishers, and reporters of almost every major media outlet were likely in service to the nation’s intelligence agencies. That doesn’t mean that, 47 years later, they still are, but it certainly suggests that federal interference and management of the media is likely to be ongoing and a major priority. The Biden censorship industrial complex, revealed as part of the Missouri v. Biden litigation, has shown that the White House wanted the ability to control social media companies and felt entitled to demand removal of individual posts related to Hunter Biden, COVID, the Wuhan lab leak theory, voter fraud, among other topics.

The motive for lying about this incident is obvious. It either represents an unbelievable series of security failures that happened to coalesce in exactly the right way for a lone gunman to take a few shots or it represents America’s further slide into a banana republic where its President and allied elites try to kill their viable political opponents. Either is a strong reason for federal law enforcement to spin, deflect, dodge, and suppress when dealing with the media.

But the available choices for excuses are criminal negligence or criminal murder.

Here are some of the more prominent claims made by the mainstream media that are completely sourced to federal law enforcement.

It’s also worth noting here that local law enforcement is referring all inquiries, at both the official and unofficial level, to the Pennsylvania State Police. The State Police are referring all inquiries, official and unofficial, to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The FBI is saying that they have no information to share at this time. So the way the mainstream media is obtaining these facts is through unofficial, unapproved leaks. The mainstream media has few ways to verify the information it is being given and their articles demonstrate that they are not skeptical or critical of the information at all.

Claim: THOMAS CROOKS IS THE SHOOTER

The identification of the body was made difficult, anonymous federal sources tell us, because the body lacked any physical identification such as a driver’s license or any other form of identification. But federal authorities were able to tell the New York Post on the day of the shooting that it was Thomas Crooks. It was sourced to ‘sources.’

Claim: THOMAS CROOKS WAS IDENTIFIED USING DNA TESTING

By 1:38AM, just a little over seven hours after Trump was shot, USA Today reported that Crooks’ body had been identified using DNA. Dr. Mollie James told the Gateway Pundit that identification by DNA is typically not possible that quickly. USA Today cited to an FBI Press Release for confirmation that the information was true.

Never explained is how federal authorities had a copy of Crooks’ DNA immediately ready to compare against.

 

 

Claim: CROOKS GAINED ACCESS TO THE AGR BUILDING BY USING A FIVE-FOOT LADDER

On Monday, CNN is reporting that Crooks buys a five-foot-ladder from Home Depot in his hometown. Yet this ladder does not appear in any photographs or drone footage from the day of the event. We have written a rundown of the way in which the ladder narrative of how Crooks gained access to the AGR building has evolved and how various federal lies about the roof access have changed. The unnamed federal tipsters also reveal to the New York Post that a receipt from Home Depot was found in his pocket.

Claim: CROOKS GAINED ACCESS TO THE AGR BUILDING BY CLIMBING AN AIR CONDITIONING UNIT

Here is Fox News saying that Crooks climbed onto an air conditioning unit to gain access to the AGR building. The exterior building of the AGR building has multiple access points. The Fox article cites to a “report” but then does not explain what “report” it is. The AGR building’s video security footage is not referenced, available drone footage is not referenced, it’s just a report that Crooks used an air conditioning unit to gain entry. If that were so, then why did he buy and bring the five foot ladder? If he climbed on top of an air conditioning unit, surely there would be a footprint on the unit, or perhaps he left the five foot ladder near the unit? None of these things are offered, it’s just all cited to a report. The obvious inconsistencies with the Home Depot five foot ladder are never explained.

Claim: CROOKS WAS CONFRONTED BY A BUTLER COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPUTY SECONDS BEFORE THE SHOOTING

Here is ABC News reporting on Monday, July 15, 2024, that Crooks was confronted by an unnamed police officer mere seconds before Crooks started shooting. “Law enforcement tells ABC News a local police officer was on the roof of the building and confronted the shooter seconds before he opened fire on former President Donald Trump.” The officer is not named, and to this date, still has not been named. Nearby witnesses were not asked about this fact. No photos or video evidence supports this claim. This claim exists solely because law enforcement sources told ABC News that it was true. Here’s CBS reporting the same, but here sourced to local Sheriff Michael Slupe, who is now referring all inquiries to the FBI.

The New York Post has already declared the unnamed cop a hero for yelling at Crooks and falling off a ladder. Or maybe it was an air conditioner.

Claim: SNIPERS WERE IN THE AGR BUILDING THAT CROOKS WAS SHOOTING FROM

The American Glass Research complex at 615 Whitestown Road in Butler Township Pennsylvania has multiple buildings. It can be understandably confusing for individuals to determine which one is being discussed.

Initially, it was not known that snipers were in the second-story building overlooking the Trump rally. Crooks’ body is alleged to have been on top of the building on the far right in the picture above. These snipers have not been interviewed, the details of what they saw that day have not been disclosed, nor has the fact that they would have been in plain view of Thomas Crooks for the entire time he was prone on the roof.

The snipers overlooking the body of Thomas Crooks could have just as easily walked out to the roof and stopped Crooks from shooting.

For the over thirty minutes that the public was yelling about a sniper on the roof from the ground below, the snipers apparently didn’t notice the active shooter getting into place within 20 feet of the multiple windows they were looking out of.

Claim: LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ‘PERIMETER’ THAT INCLUDED THE AGR BUILDING

When the Secret Service was criticized for not securing the most obvious building for a sniper to fire from, they said it was outside of their perimeter of responsibility. They deflected and blamed local law enforcement, represented by Butler County Sheriff Michael Slupe. Sheriff Slupe pointed to his Deputy who allegedly accosted Thomas Crooks mere seconds before he started firing on President Trump.

The Washington Post admits that local law enforcement told the Secret Service it could not protect or maintain security at the AGR Building, contradicting the Secret Service’s statements placing the blame on Sheriff Slupe.

This entire back-and-forth as to who is responsible for the security of the rally depends on the law enforcement officials involved disclosing the nature of the way they defended Trump and disclosing their operational plans. They should not be trusted to disclose their own failures thoroughly and honestly, and also should not be able to make such claims with credibility when there’s no way to independently verify the security arrangements as it could potentially cause another security failure elsewhere.

The only difference between reading the FBI’s press releases and reading the mainstream media is that the press releases have a name for their quotes.

If you believe the FBI, and if you trust their honesty and integrity, then you have all the relevant information you need in the mainstream media for this story and it’s an open-and-shut case.

Nashville Councilwoman Blames Trump For His Attempted Assassination (VIDEO)

by Cristina Laila Jul. 18, 2024 2:20 pm79 Comments

Nashville Councilwoman Ginny Welsch blamed President Trump for the attempt on his life.

A bullet grazed President Trump’s ear on Saturday during his Pennsylvania rally. One rallygoer was fatally struck in the head. Two other rally attendees were wounded, one critically.

The would-be assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was able to climb on top of a roof next to Trump’s Butler, Pennsylvania rally and put Trump in his scope.

Trump defied death and raised his fist shouting, “Fight! Fight! Fight!” as Secret Service agents escorted him to safety.

WATCH:

According to Fox 17 Nashville, Ginny Welsch objected to a resolution that condemned the assassination attempt on Trump, honoring the victims and condemning political violence.

“It touched Mr. Trump, because Mr. Trump has been calling for this and that people heeded his call,” said Nashville Councilwoman Ginny Welsch.

TND reported:

A Nashville councilwoman blamed former President Donald Trump on Wednesday for his attempted assassination.

Metro Nashville Councilmember Ginny Welsch, District 16, told Fox 17 Nashville the former president encouraged the shooting.

Welsch objected to suspending council rules to allow for a hearing of a resolution condemning the assassination attempt and political violence. The resolution would have also honored all victims. She told Fox 17 she “absolutely” stood by her decision.

Councilmember Courtney Johnston, District 26, called her colleague’s opposition “disgusting” and “embarrassing,” according to Fox 17. A new resolution condemning political violence will be introduced next month, which Welsch said she will back.

“There is another resolution that is also going to be filed on Aug. 6 that is actually speaking out against all political violence, and I will be supporting that one,” she noted.

Investment Firm That Allegedly “Put Options” on 12 Million Trump Stocks Day Before Assassination Attempt Blames Filing Error — Rothschild, BlackRock, Vanguard, Meta, George Bush, and Cheney Family Among Top Investors

Austin Private Wealth, LLC, a Texas-based financial planning company, is being scrutinized after a social media post went viral that claimed they had put options on as many as 12 million shares of DJT shares just one day before the assassination attempt on Donald Trump.

The investment firm denied the allegations and has now blamed a filing error for this controversial action.

According to CA Club India:

A Put Option is an investment made by someone who expects a company’s Stock Price to fall. People who engage in Inside Trading buy Put Options can make 5X or, sometimes even 100X profits (depends on how quickly the stock plummets).

If Trump did die in the assassination attempt, his company would have become worthless. It’s stock would have become Zero in a day. The people who bought Put Options would have made billions in profits.

According to the viral post, Austin Private Wealth’s alleged put position on July 12 was the largest among those listed—the second-biggest was Citadel’s 1.677 million short in May.

The filing date is July 12th, the day before the assassination attempt. With reportedly around $1 billion in assets under management, this is allegedly by far the largest put placed by the firm, according to Finbold.

“Researcher” Josh Walkos wrote on X:

To make things even more interesting, my source tipped me off with the following two images from their Bloomberg terminal. The screenshot on the left shows the Put by Austin Private Wealth LLC, that was taken earlier this morning. It shows the 120,000 puts. As you can see their position is by far the largest, the next closest is Citadel Advisors with 16,770.

Here is where it gets interesting, the screenshot to the right was taken later in the day and poof, Austin Private Wealth LLC is nowhere to be found. Why?

On July 16, the firm amended the filing.

According to Josh Walkos, “Another interesting thing about the amendment filed on 7/16 is that it is the only one they have ever had. I searched and their first filing was on 2-12-2020.”

According to the firm, the July 12 filing pertained to activity in the second quarter. There was no short.

The firm released the following statement:

The SEC filing which showed that Austin Private Wealth shorted a large number of shares of Trump Media & Technology Group Corp (DJT) was incorrect and we immediately amended it as soon as we learned of the error.

No client of APW holds, or has ever held, a put on DJT in the quantity initially reported. The correct holding amount was 12 contracts, or 1,200 shares — not 12 million shares, as was filed in error. In submitting the required report for the second quarter of 2024, a multiplier was applied by a third-party vendor that increased the number of the shares by a multiple of 10,000 for all options contracts (not just DJT). We did not catch the error before approving the filing.

We filed the report on July 12 to reflect our positions on June 28. We amended it on July 16.

We deeply regret this error and the concern it has caused, especially at such a fraught moment for our nation. We are committed to full transparency and maintaining the trust of our clients. As such, we are reviewing our internal procedures and our processes with the third-party vendor that assists with SEC filings to better understand how this happened and avoid similar issues moving forward.

Social media users also scrutinized Austin Private Wealth’s investors. The latest 13F filings reveal a list of top investors, including influential globalists such as The Rothschild Family, BlackRock, Vanguard, and Meta, as well as prominent political families like the Bushes and the Cheneys.

 

CA Club India reported:

Investors in Austin Private Wealth

Austin Private Wealth LLC’s largest investors primarily include a mix of institutional funds and individual high-net-worth clients. Some of their top holdings, as reported in their latest 13F filing, include The Rothschild Family, BlackRock, Vanguard, Meta, George Bush and the Cheney Family

Conclusion

Trump’s death would have crashed the Nasdaq and Dow Jones for a week. According to our estimates, anyone who had this knowledge beforehand would have made an estimated $696 billion to $1 Trillion in profits.
