The fascinating thing about the media coverage of the Trump assassination attempt is that unlike 9/11, even some mainstream media outlets are raising pointed questions about the security failures, which were so bad that it is hard not to see this as deliberate. The key points that have previously been covered are first that a police officer confronted the shooter on the rooftop before the shots, then backed off instead of doing his duty in shooting Crooks. Then there is the unexplained 42 second delay of the secret service snipers, who had Crooks in their scopes, but waited for him to get off the shots. That this was therefore a Deep State job seems logically inevitable.
But it gets worse. Three police snipers were allegedly inside the very building that the shooter Crooks was on when he took the shots at Trump: https://www.zerohedge.com/political/snipers-were-inside-building-used-trump-failed-assassin-reported-him-using-range-finder; https://nypost.com/2024/07/16/us-news/trump-assassination-attempt-exact-timeline-of-police-failures.
"A sniper, stationed on the second floor providing overwatch, saw the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, outside the building and looking up at the roof. He then walked away, returned, whipped out his phone, when one of the snipers took the first of two pictures of him.
Crooks then took out a rangefinder - at which point the sniper radioed to a command post. Crooks then disappeared again and came back a third time with a backpack. The snipers called in once again with information that he had a backpack and that he (Crooks) was walking toward the back of the building.
By the time other officers came for backup, he had climbed on top of the building and was positioned above and behind the snipers inside the building, the officer said.
Two other officers who heard the sniper's call tried to get onto the roof. State police started rushing to the scene, but by that time, a Secret Service sniper had already killed Crooks, the officer said. -CBS News
So - law enforcement had eyes-on the shooter the entire time, took pictures of him, notified their command post - and nothing was done until Crooks shot Trump, at which point Secret Service snipers returned fire and killed him.
Crooks was spotted 30 minutes before firing at Trump:
"Channel 11′s Nicole Ford confirmed that Beaver County's ESU team had eight members at the rally, including snipers and spotters. According to Ford's sources, one of them noticed a suspicious man on a roof near the rally at 5:45 p.m., called it in and took a picture of the person. We have learned from our sources the person in that picture is Thomas Crooks. We're told it's not clear if Crooks had a gun with him at that point.
According to multiple sources, a law enforcement officer had also previously seen Crooks on the ground and called him in as a suspicious person with a picture prior to 5:45 p.m. Our sources tell us an officer checked the grounds for Crooks at that point, but did not see him where the first picture was taken.
26 minutes after the second picture of Crooks was taken by law enforcement and the information called in, shots were fired from the roof of the American Glass Research building. Seconds later, a Secret Service sniper returned fire and killed Crooks.
So the local police command had roughly 30 minutes to coordinate with the US Secret Service on the suspicious guy with a rangefinder, who they then let climb the roof and attempt to assassinate Donald Trump."
To my mind this is conclusive. It is accepted that the secret service was on the face of it incompetent and had many affirmative action appointments, but that is true everywhere:

As well, Crooks was not a professional marksman, or even a reasonable shot: https://www.infowars.com/posts/former-snipers-agree-its-a-miracle-trump-is-still-alive/. Still, not only was Crooks seen, but he was able to bring his own ladder to get up on the building where police were stationed:

That descends into the level of the theatre of the absurd.
What is puzzling when watching the shooting footage is Trump asking for his shoes. I thought he had taken them off in the speech. But the mainstream media reports that the secret service took off Trump's shoes!
This is utterly bizarre; why would they do that? Trump said that his shoes came off from the impact of the agents knocking him down. That is possible, but why throw the shoes off stage? If they had come off, simply grab them and take them with Trump, it is not hard to do. That is more incompetency than conspiracy.
Overall, it would be crazy not to believe that this was a failed Deep State assassination attempt. Crooks certainly was not any sort of agent but was most likely someone who was cultivated in his hate and pushed in the right direction, and given every chance he would want to kill Trump.
