The acting director of the Secret Service says he is ashamed that his agency allowed a 20-year-old gunman to climb on top of a warehouse roof and fire eight shots at Republican front-runner Donald Trump. “I went to the roof of the agr building where the assailant fired shots, and I laid in a prone position to evaluate his line of sight,” Ronald Rowe told Congress on July 30. “What I saw made me ashamed as a career law enforcement officer and a 25-year veteran with the Secret Service. I cannot defend why that roof was not better secured.”

Despite his shame, Rowe and his agents are doing everything in their power to stonewall Congress and make sure the American people never find out the truth about the attempt on Donald Trump’s life.

Newly released testimonials from before and after the Trump assassination attempt highlight catastrophic lapses by the Secret Service and local law enforcement. Acting Director Rowe has admitted that not placing a Secret Service agent on the roof of the American Glass Research warehouse was a huge mistake. Yet an even bigger “mistake” was not putting local police in direct radio contact with Secret Service agents. Rowe told Congress that his agents were not notified about the shooter until after the attempt on President Trump’s life, even though local law enforcement were aware of the danger at least 90 minutes before President Trump even began speaking.

The alleged miscommunication was apparently the result of a siloed communications system in which local officers reported to local command, who relayed messages to the Secret Service. This might have been partially responsible for why Thomas Crooks had so much time to get into position on the roof and start shooting, even after a local police sniper called into his command to report Crooks as a potential security threat. Who decided to silo communications this way? Acting Director Rowe is not answering questions like that. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned over these same security failures that Rowe says he is ashamed of, but neither one will divulge who is responsible for allowing a suspicious figure to not only remain in the vicinity but spend almost half an hour on a roof overlooking President Trump only 500 feet away.

Some might say that Cheatle and Rowe are being noble by protecting the reputation of the agents who messed up at the Butler Farm rally. But a closer examination of the facts suggests a more sinister motive. Nothing that happened at Butler Farm makes sense unless someone on the inside wanted Trump dead.

The Secret Service is doing its best to make sure people never find out who that person is. Instead, it is working with the fbi to convince Americans that Thomas Crooks was somehow a lone-wolf shooter with anti-immigrant views who tried to kill Trump because he was not conservative enough.

fbi Deputy Director Paul Abbate told Congress that Crooks made anti-Semitic and anti-immigrant statements on social media. This was a lie. The ceo of Gab, Andrew Torba, has access to the same Gab social media account that Abbate referred to in his testimony. Under the handle @epicMicrowave, its user expressed pro-lockdown, pro-immigration, pro-Biden sentiments. In a post to X on July 30, Torba clarified that “the account for which data was requested was, unequivocally, pro-Biden and in particular pro-Biden’s immigration policy. To the best of Gab’s knowledge, as of 2021, Crooks was a pro-lockdown, pro-immigration, left-wing Joe Biden supporter.”

So why is the fbi trying to make “a pro-lockdown, pro-immigration, left-wing Joe Biden supporter” look like someone so racist and so “conservative” that he felt President Trump was insufficiently “extreme”? Could it be that Crooks actually had help from a fellow “pro-lockdown, pro-immigration, left-wing Joe Biden supporter” within the Secret Service? Could it be that the Secret Service and fbi are trying to cover up a scandal by making it an open-and-shut case that Crooks was just weird and, by the way, conservative?

That is a disturbing notion, but it is not far-fetched, because anyone who reads the post on the @epicMicrowave account can see that the fbi is deliberately lying about Crooks’s motives for some reason.

A RealClearPolitics exposé by Susan Crabtree reveals that Acting Director Rowe was directly involved in denying additional security resources and personnel to President Trump’s rallies and events. Inside sources told Crabtree that it was Rowe’s decision alone to deny counter sniper teams to any Trump event outside of driving distance from Washington, D.C. The reason that the American Glass Research buildings, including the one Crooks used, were apparently assigned to local police in the first place is that Rowe declined to provide sufficient Secret Service personnel.

So we know that the Secret Service denied resources and personnel, and we know the fbi is boldly lying about Crooks’s political motivations.

Now a Secret Service countersniper has mass e-mailed much of the agency warning that a second assassination attempt against Trump is almost inevitable before the 2024 election because “[w]e’ve exposed our inability to protect our leaders due to our leadership.” This agent, many others and many Americans don’t believe Secret Service leadership will successfully prevent—or perhaps even try to prevent—the next attempt to kill Donald Trump.

Sen. Josh Hawley directly asked Rowe whether any of the agents responsible for monumental security failures at Butler Farm had been relieved of duty, and Rowe confirmed that the answer is no. He instead blamed the security failures on the local police, while knowing full well that he himself had starved Trump’s security detail of resources and manpower.

We know we are being lied to by the fbi, and we know that Rowe and the still-anonymous and still-employed Secret Service site manager are the two people most to blame for the security arrangements and miscommunications. The local police did their job by spotting Crooks and calling into command. But the siloed communication system the Secret Service set up delayed instructions by half an hour, giving Crooks time to get into position and fire several shots at Trump.

Three years ago, my father, Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry, wrote an article titled “America Has No Helper.” In it he noted that Special Counsel Robert Mueller had two goals for his investigation into Trump-Russia collusion. The first goal was to continue the Crossfire Hurricane investigation initiated by James Comey, Andrew McCabe and their crew. The second goal was to cover-up the fbi’s illegal actions.

The fraudulent Mueller investigation is now a thing of the past, but fbi leadership still has the same overall goals: to stop Donald Trump and to cover up the unlawful, treasonous acts leftists have committed. When the fbi says Crooks expressed anti-immigrant sentiments on social media only to have the ceo of Gab immediately contradict that by saying Crooks actually expressed pro-lockdown, pro-immigration sentiments, you know a cover-up is underway.

It is undeniable that America’s government is evolving away from the constitutional republic it once was into an authoritarian technocracy. President Trump is leading a populist revolt against the American “deep state” (which includes the leaders of the cia, the fbi, the Secret Service and dozens of other executive bureaucracies). Authoritarian technocrats in these bureaucracies obviously oppose Trump’s populist revolution and desperately want it to fail. They became willing foot soldiers of Barack Obama, who still wields significant power—for now.

This same underlying desire was the driving force behind the RussiaGate scandal, the Mueller investigation and the various other attempts to destroy Trump’s career. When all these attempts failed, it seems the deep state decided to kill Trump.

This is the only explanation that makes sense of the enormous security failures at the Butler Farm Show grounds. Deep state elites have attempted assassinations in other countries. It is not far-fetched to think they might attempt one at home, especially when they consider a certain candidate to be such a significant threat to the regime they largely control.

2 Kings 14:26-28 prophesy of a time when God will raise up a political savior to fight to save the nations of end-time Israel (primarily the United States and Britain). My father has repeatedly identified this political savior as Donald Trump. The fact that the Secret Service let Thomas Crooks fire on Trump indicates that Trump’s fight against the deep state has moved from the lawfare stage into the warfare stage.

Something more fearsome than politics is happening in America. Many people recognize the fact that God miraculously intervened to save Trump from assassination. They now need to start asking harder questions about what God saved President Trump from. This isn’t about a lone wolf who wanted Trump dead. This is about numerous state bureaucrats who still want Donald Trump dead.
