Assassination Attempt: damning whistleblower testimony raises fears of inside job
A shocking new whistleblower report indicates secret service agents working the Trump campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania July 13 were instructed not to request additional manpower that day. Documents also show agents were warned in advance any such requests would be denied.
In the tragic return of political violence to the United States in the attempt on former President Donald Trump’s life, that left one man dead, others wounded, including Trump himself, a cavalcade of egregious ‘security failures’ left the rooftop of a nearby building completely unguarded.
Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle resigned in disgrace after being grilled by lawmakers on Capitol Hill in July.
The gaping holes in security that day, including conflicting testimony from Secret Service officials and local law enforcement about who was responsible for securing the nearby building, raised grave questions about whether the failures were intentional.
Now, it appears that the attempt on Trump’s life could have been orchestrated from within. New evidence shows gaps in coverage and manpower were planned in advance, according to whistleblower testimony.

The revelations contradict testimony of acting head of Secret Service Ronald Rowe, who said no security requests had been denied — a half truth in light of whistleblower testimony that requests would be denied in advance.
Crooks’ Suspicious Cell Phone Data
Alleged shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks was known to law enforcement and bystanders to be getting into position on the building and using a range-finder at the site more than 40 minutes before the shooting. Despite initial profiles of Crooks being a loner and having no online presence, Crooks maintained encrypted messaging accounts in Belgium, Germany, and New Zealand.
It was revealed earlier this month that Crooks trained at a gun range also used by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
With Trump, a potent opposition candidate and vocal critic of the Ukraine war, U.S. border and trade policy, and predominant ruling elites, powerful interests are threatened by his candidacy.
Trump and Kennedy Against the Establishment
Meanwhile, independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced this afternoon that he would end his bid for the presidency and endorse Trump. Kennedy’s father and uncle, President John F. Kennedy, were both assassinated.
Kennedy has expressed opposition to environmental destruction, harmful chemicals, and dangerous pharmaceutical companies aided by the U.S. government regulatory apparatus. Kennedy was also fiercely critical of the Democratic Party, the nomination of which he originally sought before running as an independent.
He faced fierce opposition to ballot access from the party, which ultimately nominated Vice President Kamala Harris without a single primary ballot cast.
These developments in the 2024 election, along with the shocking revelations of security measures expressly forbidden in advance — that do nothing to dispel the appearance the attempt on Trump’s life could have been orchestrated in conjunction with insiders — throw the precarious political situation in the United States into sharp relief.
Could 2024 be America’s tipping point? In any case, the stakes of the election are clear: outsiders such as Kennedy and Trump, and the millions of Americans who see their criticisms of avoidable wars and an imperious political establishment, against the establishment itself.
