You’re a good man Stone. Appreciate the way you covered this while also being very open about the fact that none of us truly know the who why how and potentially the elements of the “what” itself. Temperance and prudence are very refreshing to see, thank you.
Thank you! I am with you on this too soon to have all the facts but clearly NOT staged. The Secret Service would have had to be complicit for it to be staged. The media is surely an accessory to this and much of the violence division and fear we see. And also didn’t Biden make some remark not that long ago about Trump should be in a Bullseye. ?
People are thinking it, yet are hesitant to say it: If we are truly better than the left, we MUST forgive the shooter as well. We believe in Jesus Christ and we believe in mercy.
Almighty Father,
help his soul to find peace in the next life that could not be found in this one. Amen.
Stay on the high road until you can’t stay on the high road.
Here in Portugal, and throughout Europe, we are following the assassination attempt with interest. We've also heard a few conspiracy theories around here, but let's see, is there any subject about which conspiracy theories haven't been developing forever? The only difference is that now, with the media we have, they spread more quickly and unchecked. Like it or not, elections are won by voting, not by shooting
Good points made all around—while remaining open to other possibilities.
I’m with you—I take it at face value. The agency leadership—all of them—refuse to protect DJT adequately. They (leadership) failed miserably last night and will continue to do so. The only thing they (leadership) is good at these days is CYA and massive response when SHTF. They have no concept of prevention—and in the case of Trump—no desire.
This is a fantastic work Stone, I was very much looking forward to this. Absolutely the most appreciated news delivery I’ve seen so far. Really keeps you grounded while reading about an event that can easily unwind a lot of people, myself included. It’s so hard to trust any form of MSM at this point. I feel like our guys do a better job at uncovering the truth. As you say, we will see how things unfold
I heard that Kimberly Cheatle outsourced the security planning to Former Uvalde School District Police Chief Pete Arredondo and former school police officer Adrian Gonzales.
“After being shot Trump grabbed his ear, then took cover on the stage; SS agents immediately surrounded him. After a few seconds Trump stood, turned to the crowd with blood-splattered face, and defiantly raised his fist while shouting ‘Fight’ three times, letting attendees know he was okay. He was then escorted off stage, with SS agents attempting to cover him while he continued to pump his fist several times.”
Someone here on Substack dogmatically said There was a teeny detonation device behind Trumps ear, and you could see him push it or see somebody push it or some thing. Is there any reality to that theory? Have you heard? Thank you Stone! I was looking forward to your article! And, of course it’s excellent like all others.
Thank you, Charlotte - your kindness and support are ever appreciated <3
As to the theory you mentioned being bandied about? While such devices do exist, and therefore such a scenario is theoretically possible? I have to ask myself why would he do that.
After all, he was already riding a wave of popularity toward the GOP Convention in a couple of days (from then), and if something went wrong (the risk of such a device causing more damage than intended is grave, indeed), or if he were discovered having attempted such a stunt... I just do not see the upside of such a maneuver. It would be a foolish gamble, and while Trump is many things - depending on who one asks - he is no 'fool.'
After all, he believes in himself 'first.' Dangerous gimmicks are not really his thing.
Then there is the fact one supporter was killed, and two others severely injured; those required 'bullets,' which required a shooter; again, a foolish position for one to put themselves in if the plan was to pull a 'stunt,' for a myriad of reasons.
For myself personally, a good rule of thumb I follow: If someone is too fervent about their particular 'conspiracy theory'... if it is almost as if they have to convince others to convince themselves? I am cautious - even suspicious - with such folks, and their theories. Part of being a skeptic, I reckon LOL
Well stated, Stone. I am also of the wait and see ilk. While the incident was well covered and documented I still can’t help but think of the inside job aspect of things as well.
Oh, I have not abandoned the notion that it could have been a targeted hit from within - I am just waiting to see more what information shakes loose over the days ahead. As you know from your own researches, discernment will be vital when it comes to any info being released, but yeah... with wisdom, we can piece together the truth ;-)
I agree with you on not jumping to conclusions and appreciate your words.
IMO and as a hunter: There is no way in hell or any other locale that Trump did this for publicity. You could have the most expert sharpshooter in the entire world to take the shot and have the brightest, tiptop spotter to assist and there is still a definite margin of error.
If you want to kill something that is slightly moving, you can miss the exact spot you are aiming, say center forehead, but still get the kill shot, say the top of the nose…but to shoot to graze you need a completely stationary target with little to zero wind and the margin of error is exactly life or death. Trump has zero reason at this juncture to take an enormous risk on his life…he’s at the top of the heap, he’s winning by a wide margin, he loves his life. By the grace of God, Trump turned his head slightly into the perfect position to only be clipped in the ear.
What truly happened may never be revealed but from everything I’ve read and watched, the assassination attempt was definitely an inside job. There is no way the snipers on the opposite roof with their expert-level scopes, facing the shooter no less, could have missed the guy crawling on that roof with an AR and getting set for the shot.
I am 100% with you on your first point, EK - too many things do not add up for it to be "Trump-driven" event, at least from my perspective *salute
As for the last paragraph? I understand from where you are coming, and am NOT saying you are 'wrong'... I'm just not there yet myself. I tend to be overly deliberate about such matters, and spend a lot of time thinking them over (people have told me it is a 'failing' LOL), but again... you make a compelling argument, and I appreciate you sharing it!
That's all right, Klaus - we don't always have to agree, and I honestly expected a little pushback from this one.
The questions in your video are valid, and though I may not agree with your overall premise it's not going to keep me from 'liking' your stuff. Different perspectives is how we learn, after all, and I value yours even when we DO disagree.
I am used to people don't understand me at the beginning. Because I don't look at things as most people. I don't think, I follow my guts. And this resonance is this time mostly the same as on 9/11. My feelings are 1:1 the same.
NEVER trust anybody in the government. Especially not this man. Warp speed, Jan 6th, Jerusalem and and and. And after all, ask the thousands of small businesses this fantastic person has cheated.
There is only one solution, and this has a clear name: Constitution!
I read your previous work on your site. You certainly do have alot of questions. Some, I'm sure in time, will be answered, many will never be. But others were quite ludicrous. Surprisingly you didn't question the grass or the air. As for Trump, and his actions or reactions, you ought to know, there's nobody on Earth like him. Unpredictable, sometimes unfathomable.
As far as the crowd being “relaxed “. That is way off and ,as I said ludicrous. They were hardly that. That they didn't flee in a panic, that's a testimony to them. I don't think you understand the MAGA people.
"Delusions? Nothing will be answered with the truth?" Without the truth, questions are meaningless! " Praying to Donald the God?" Don't put words in my mouth. Trump is flawed like all of us. He makes mistakes, like all of us. He believes in America, unlike some people, meaning YOU. I don't know what voices are in your head, but your thinking is fundamentally flawed.
Thank you! I am enjoying my life and will continue. I don't need a lifeguard like you to let me know what the "right" questions are. I'm a big boy and swim in the deep end safely myself! And it is, indeed, wonderful.
Moreover, The BBC interview of the spectator opens a many questions, an interview that’s quickly being scrubbed, though there’s links on x still. To recap: The spectator claims he saw the shooter w/ rifle moving on the roof and attempted to alert police and secret service. He claims the police and SS saw him pointing or motioning to the roof. He claims this went on for 3-4 minutes before the first shots were fired. BBC asked if the police view was obstructed, and he said yes. However if you look at the position of the SS sniper that took out the shooter, he had a clear view of the roof.
If any of his account is factual, you have to ask yourself if the SS on scene were incompetent or … waiting. Also, regardless of the eye witness account taken by the BBC, why was such a structure left unguarded, the only other close high point? Or why not carefully watched by the SS sniper? He did take the shooter out, who appeared to be laying prone, with a head shot. This information undoubtedly opens the conspiracy doors for a long time just on its own.
Not to get caught up in all that, I feel Trump’s survival is tantamount to a miracle, a major turning point, a dramatic shift as significant as Trump winning in 2016. The darkness of the deep state is being peeled away like layers of an onion for all to see. Where this goes I haven’t a clue, but this shooting has to have the DNC minions shitting themselves, because this event completely overshadows their carefully crafted exit for Biden in favor of their next neocon sock puppet.
You’re a good man Stone. Appreciate the way you covered this while also being very open about the fact that none of us truly know the who why how and potentially the elements of the “what” itself. Temperance and prudence are very refreshing to see, thank you.
Very kind of you, Tesstamona - thank you for that. It's not always easy, as I can occasionally tend toward 'reacting' first 😉
Appreciate the gracious support ☺️
Thank you! I am with you on this too soon to have all the facts but clearly NOT staged. The Secret Service would have had to be complicit for it to be staged. The media is surely an accessory to this and much of the violence division and fear we see. And also didn’t Biden make some remark not that long ago about Trump should be in a Bullseye. ?
Yep, he sure did say that - used the exact word, 'bullseye.' But the MSM is glossing over that, because of course they are :-|
Thanks so much for the great comment, and you continued support :-)
I don't give a shit on the Secret Service as on every other federal agency.
People are thinking it, yet are hesitant to say it: If we are truly better than the left, we MUST forgive the shooter as well. We believe in Jesus Christ and we believe in mercy.
Almighty Father,
help his soul to find peace in the next life that could not be found in this one. Amen.
Stay on the high road until you can’t stay on the high road.
"Stay on the high road until you can’t stay on the high road."
I am 100% with ya there, George!
Thanks for the positive comment!

Excellent observations, Rolando - it's great to have you and your unique perspective here! Thanks for sharing them!
Thank you Stone

Thanks, brother - appreciate your ever-gracious-and-astute comments, and the support.
And yes, that last point of yours - 'no desire?' That rings so loud and true! Cheatle is at best incompetent, and at worst?
Well, you know... :-\
Very good point, re: the potential replacement for Biden, not wanting to be the sacrificial lamb.
Thanks, brother - you know me, always trying to think outside the box LOL
Appreciate the gracious words, good sir *salute

Thank you so much, Nick - very happy you enjoyed it, and appreciate your gracious comments!
And yep, we're going to have an unreal show unravel in front of us over the next few weeks - hope you have buttery popcorn and tasty beverages LOL
Yes and yes sir!
I heard that Kimberly Cheatle outsourced the security planning to Former Uvalde School District Police Chief Pete Arredondo and former school police officer Adrian Gonzales.
Absolutely nothing would surprise me, Tom, at least not with Cheatle.
How do you go from Pepsi security head to director of the Secret Service?
A most exquisite question... 🤔
My favorite comment came from Musk when he said something to the effect that her biggest job prior to the Secret Service was 'guarding Cheetos'. 🤣

Rarely I disagree with you so much. My subscribership came back massively, considering this a hoax.
THERE IS NO AUDIENCE IN AN ACTIVE SHOOTING SITTING SO RELAXED AS THIS AUDIENCE:

MAGA delusions?
Unpredictable, sometimes unfathomable.
Next step praying to Donald, the God?
I judge what I see. Others judge what they are told.
Nothing will be answered with the truth. The answers are coming from the government. There is no truth.
So I agree that we disagree.
Maybe you will ask the same questions in a while …
"Delusions? Nothing will be answered with the truth?" Without the truth, questions are meaningless! " Praying to Donald the God?" Don't put words in my mouth. Trump is flawed like all of us. He makes mistakes, like all of us. He believes in America, unlike some people, meaning YOU. I don't know what voices are in your head, but your thinking is fundamentally flawed.
Enjoy your life without asking the right questions.
Enjoy your insinuations.
And have a wonderful rest of your life.
Thank you! I am enjoying my life and will continue. I don't need a lifeguard like you to let me know what the "right" questions are. I'm a big boy and swim in the deep end safely myself! And it is, indeed, wonderful.
Pretty much think the same way. I’m a full blooded conspiracy theorists- inquisitive skeptic, is the better term, but there is no way this was staged.
However, I fully believe it was a government operation. Washington corruption and evil are no longer theories.
I’m not going to spend anytime going down rabbit holes. After 20 years of doing it. I don’t need to anymore.
You get to a point where you can smell rot before you dig.
agree, the Trump false Flagg doesn’t wash at all.
