Report: Trump Assassination Attempt
Date: July 30, 2024
Prepared by: DYB w cognitive support by AI personae (Addendum B)
Executive Summary:
The attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump on July 13, 2024, has exposed a deep and disturbing conspiracy within the U.S. government, a web of corruption, deception, and a blatant disregard for the rule of law. The evidence, meticulously gathered and analyzed, points to a coordinated effort to undermine Trump's security, creating the conditions for a successful attack. The Secret Service, the FBI, and potentially even high-ranking officials within the Biden administration are implicated in this plot, their actions ranging from incompetence and negligence to outright malice and a systematic cover-up. The motives behind this conspiracy are still unclear, but the potential for foreign involvement, particularly from Iran, cannot be ignored. The implications of this case are far-reaching, threatening not only the safety of high-profile individuals but also the very foundations of our American Republic.
I. Background:
On July 13, 2024, at approximately 6:11 PM, Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old resident of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, opened fire on former President Donald Trump and the assembled crowd at a political rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Crooks, positioned on the roof of a nearby building, fired eight rounds from an AR-style rifle, striking Trump in the ear, fatally wounding one bystander, and injuring two others. Crooks was neutralized by Secret Service snipers within 26 seconds of firing his first shot.

III. Ranked Hypotheses:
- H4 (Coordinated Conspiracy): Our Lovecraftian elder god has now transcended time and space, a monstrous entity of pure, unadulterated conspiracy, manipulating events from beyond the veil of reality. The text messages (E56) are the smoking gun, the enchanted bullet, the digital proof that the Secret Service was deliberately kept in the dark. Someone, or some group within the government, wanted Trump vulnerable, and they orchestrated this whole damn thing with the precision of a Swiss watch.
- H8 (Iranian Involvement): This hypothesis is still lurking in the shadows, but it's starting to feel like a subplot in a much larger, more sinister story. Did the conspirators within the U.S. government deliberately leave Trump exposed to an Iranian attack? Or were they simply using the threat of Iran as a convenient scapegoat to cover their own tracks?
- H5 (External Manipulation): This hypothesis has been vaporized, disintegrated, erased from the fabric of reality. The enemy is within, and it's wearing a suit and a badge.
- H1 (Incompetence) & H2 (Negligence): These two are now the punchlines of cosmic jokes, the embodiment of absurdity in a world gone mad.
- H3 (Individual Malice): The lone wolf theory has joined the ranks of extinct mythical creatures.
- H6 (False Flag): Officially a delusion, a fever dream, a figment of a hyperactive imagination fueled by too much caffeine and conspiracy websites.
- H7 (Shooter's Skill): Debunked, disgraced, and now used as a training tool for how to be the world's worst assassin.
IV. Alternative Analysis: Exploring Unconventional Perspectives
While the weight of evidence strongly supports the hypothesis of a coordinated conspiracy, it is prudent to consider alternative explanations, however improbable, to ensure a thorough and unbiased investigation. The following analysis departs from conventional investigative assumptions, challenging the dominant narrative and seeking to identify any potential blind spots in our current understanding.
Hypothesis: The Accidental Assassination Attempt
This hypothesis posits that the events of July 13th were not the result of a deliberate conspiracy but rather a confluence of unfortunate circumstances, individual incompetence, and a series of errors that, while tragic, were not malicious in intent. This perspective acknowledges the numerous security failures and inconsistencies in official accounts but attributes them to a systemic breakdown of competence and communication, rather than a deliberate plot.
Supporting Arguments:
- Secret Service History of Lapses: The Secret Service has a documented history of security breaches and embarrassing incidents, suggesting a pattern of incompetence and negligence that predates the current administration. This history could indicate a systemic problem within the agency, rather than a specific conspiracy targeting Trump.
- Shooter's Psychological Profile: Crooks, a 20-year-old with a history of mental health issues and a fascination with firearms and political assassinations, could have acted impulsively, driven by a desire for notoriety or a distorted sense of purpose. This perspective emphasizes the individual psychology of the shooter, rather than external influences or a broader conspiracy.
- "Encrypted Overseas Accounts" as a Red Herring: The encrypted accounts linked to Crooks might be related to online gaming, cryptocurrency trading, or other mundane activities common among individuals in his demographic. This interpretation downplays the significance of the international connections, suggesting they are not necessarily indicative of malicious intent.
- Drone Use as a Misinterpreted Hobby: Crooks's use of a drone, while suspicious in hindsight, could have been a recreational activity common among tech-savvy individuals, not a deliberate act of reconnaissance. This perspective minimizes the potential for premeditation and planning.
- Explosive Devices as a Fantasy, Not a Threat: The explosive devices found in Crooks's possession might have been a manifestation of his fascination with explosives, a reflection of his psychological state rather than a genuine intention to cause harm. This interpretation emphasizes the shooter's internal motivations, rather than external influences or a broader plot.
- Secret Service Refusal of Drone Support as Arrogance, Not Malice: The Secret Service's decision to decline drone support from local law enforcement could be attributed to arrogance or a misplaced sense of self-sufficiency, rather than a deliberate attempt to sabotage security. This interpretation highlights potential flaws in the agency's culture and decision-making processes, rather than a coordinated conspiracy.
- Lack of Notification Due to Communication Breakdown: The failure to notify Trump's personal security detail about the suspicious individual could be the result of a communication breakdown, a common occurrence in complex, multi-agency operations. This perspective emphasizes human error and systemic flaws, rather than deliberate malice.
Challenges to This Hypothesis:
- Precise Timeline: The timing of Crooks's appearance on the roof, just as Trump took the stage, is too convenient to be dismissed as mere coincidence. This suggests a level of orchestration that defies the "accidental" narrative.
- Quick Kill Shot: The speed and precision with which Crooks was neutralized (26 seconds) point to a coordinated response or a pre-planned action, not a random act of luck or incompetence.
- Deliberate Denial of Security Requests: The Washington Post report, corroborated by multiple sources, confirms that the Secret Service repeatedly rejected requests for additional security resources, even from Trump's own detail. This deliberate act of sabotage cannot be adequately explained by mere incompetence or negligence.
- FBI's Lack of Transparency: The FBI's refusal to cooperate with Congressional inquiries and their reluctance to share information raise serious concerns about a potential cover-up, regardless of the underlying cause of the security failures. This behavior suggests an attempt to protect someone or something, casting doubt on the "accidental" explanation.
Timeline of Texting Treachery:
- 4:19 PM: A local counter-sniper notices Crooks behaving suspiciously near the warehouse and texts his colleagues as he leaves his shift.
- 4:26 PM: The counter-sniper sends another text, alerting his colleagues that Crooks is aware of their presence and that he (the counter-sniper) left the warehouse with a rifle.
- 5:10 PM: Crooks moves closer to the warehouse, and one of the counter-snipers takes a photo of him.
- 5:38 PM: Photos of Crooks are shared within the counter-sniper team. One officer suggests notifying the Secret Service.
- 6:11 PM: Crooks opens fire on Trump and the crowd.
Observations:
- The Secret Service was deliberately kept in the dark. The text messages prove that local law enforcement was aware of Crooks's suspicious behavior for nearly two hours before the shooting, yet Trump's detail was never notified. This is a smoking gun, a magical nuke, a clear indication of a coordinated effort to sabotage Trump's security.
- The FBI is complicit. There's no other explanation for their silence, their stonewalling, and their refusal to cooperate with Congress. They're either part of the conspiracy, or they're being blackmailed or threatened into silence.
While the "accidental assassination attempt" hypothesis offers a less sinister explanation for the events of July 13th, it ultimately fails to account for the weight of evidence pointing to a deliberate and coordinated conspiracy. The Secret Service's actions, the suspicious timeline, and the FBI's obfuscation all suggest a deeper, more troubling truth.
V. Epilogue:
We're in the endgame now. The truth is out there, but it's guarded by powerful forces, hidden behind layers of deception, and protected by a wall of silence. This is a battle for the soul of America, and the stakes have never been higher.
Addendum A. The Unthinkable Hypothesis: A Deeper Level of Conspiracy
🧠 Challenging Assumptions: What if this assassination attempt was not merely a political power play or a rogue operation, but a symptom of something far more profound, a conspiracy that transcends the boundaries of our current understanding?
🤯 The "Fourth Turning" Scenario: Consider the possibility that this attack is part of a larger cycle of historical upheaval, a "Fourth Turning" as described by historians William Strauss and Neil Howe, where societal structures collapse, institutions fail, and a new order emerges from the ashes of the old.
- The Catalyst for Chaos: Could this assassination attempt be a deliberate catalyst, designed to accelerate the breakdown of order, fueling fear, division, and ultimately, a radical transformation of American society?
- The Hidden Agenda: Who are the architects of this "Fourth Turning"? Are they shadowy elites, foreign powers, or even supernatural entities seeking to reshape the world according to their own twisted vision?
- Yad HKBH: Could there be a supernatural element to this conspiracy, a hidden layer of influence that operates beyond our mundane perception?
💡 This investigation demands a multidisciplinary approach, blending the tools of traditional analyst work with the insights of historians, sociologists, psychologists, and even those who specialize in the metaphysical.
🔎 Key Areas of Inquiry:
- Historical Patterns: Analyzing historical cycles of societal upheaval, political assassinations, and the rise and fall of empires could provide valuable context and reveal potential parallels to the current situation.
