I agree with every word you said here. I also think they did this in broad daylight in our faces because they expected to succeed and knew that with Trump gone no one would be coming after them.

I agree too. At first I thought staged? Then I listened to a forensic analysis of the gunfire. It tells of 3 different guns shot from 3 different locations, then the gunfire from law enforcement that killed the kid. This had to have been a set up - it could not have been staged. God is in Trumps corner

Agree. A set up, not staged. There’s a difference.

The first three shots happened before Trump was able to drop below the podium. So, not only did the first shot miss, but two more to boot! Look at the video. It shows this very clearly.

The forensics will ultimately work out what actually occurred, but I have my doubts about getting the truth from our government. We the People will do the work needed ourselves.

I certainly hope they are vigorously investigating the shot that killed Corey Comperatore. No one seems to be talking about him much.

Your "doubts" are well deserved, Jim. I'd state it more firmly, the (not "our") government CANNOT be trusted for the truth.

Mike Adams did a forensic analysis: https://www.brighteon.com/a2ec2cff-0d92-4870-9629-e1fa9eb3fb09

The only problem with Mike Adam’s analysis is he says there were three shooters while he defines a total of four shooters.

First three shots were Crooks, shots four and five were same distance but different gun, shot six was from about 800 feet and shot seven was from about 1400 feet. That is four shooters by my count of his analysis. That sounds like a repeat of JFK’s assassination. Lots of shooters plus a patsy.

Erik, Very well stated... I'm in total agreement with you!! She wasn't supposed to lose, and the shooter wasn't supposed to miss. And Joe Biden got 81 million lawful votes!!! The deep state relies on Lies to achieve their mission. I believe we will find several associated events that compromised security at the rally.

These will be shown to have been purposely staged with the intention of compromising security so they could get the shots off. I don't believe the "Lone Gunman" theory or that he was the actual shooter. Did anyone test his hands or body for nitrates, a compound from ammunition being fired? They tested Oswald and he turned up negative!!! Oswald never shot a firearm that day!!! But he was the lone gunman...

Everyone should study George Washington's Farewell Address!!! Washington made several critical statements in his address. One I think needs to be known by all!!! "Beware the Party System, for the Party will become more important than We The People." George Washington!!! I believe we have arrived at that time. Both the RNC and DNC are complicit in the destruction of our Constitutional Republic. We no longer live as our founding fathers intended.

We need to reclaim our sovereignty and institute the real Governance our Founding Fathers intended. The Constitution for the united States of America, (notice spelling and capitalization, its important) this is the original 1789 version. That document is a Governmental Services Contract, nothing more!!! We have Disregarded the document we are supposed to be following!!! The Declaration of Independence!!! You see part of the deep states subversion is getting We The People to disregard the important document and focus on a document that holds less value!!! I'm sure many at this point will argue with me!!!

Here is my evidence!!! How many people died for signing The Constitution for the united States of America? There were 53 signers of the Declaration of Independence, 19 died because they signed that document, 12 families of the signers were all killed or lost everything they owned!!! Which document do YOU think is more important??? I ask Law Enforcement all the time this easy question: "What Law does the Declaration of Independence require for We The People?" a very simple question and easily determined as it sits within the very first paragraph of the document. Yet I have yet to find anyone who can answer that question without looking it up!!! This is the Dumbing down of America we speak of!!!

For those too lazy to conduct actual research "The Laws of Nature, or of Nature's God!!!" We are indoctrinated to follow Codes and Statutes as if they come from God. Those are Color of Law and NOT law. They are laws of the Water Jurisdiction NOT the Land!!! The Constitution is the "Highest Law of the Land, yet we go to Courts of the Water Jurisdiction!!! The Land is Above the Water!!! Yet We the People are constantly treated like criminals for following God's laws!!!

We have a giant education problem if We The People are to reclaim the Governance our Founding Fathers created!!! WAKE UP AMERICA!!! You have been lied to at such a level nothing you know and think is true is actual truth!!! Our great great grandparents and everyone on down the family tree has been lied to at such a level you have to Question EVERYTHING and do the research to prove it to be True or False!!! I will end my diatribe with, we have a brief opportunity to make the significant changes required to allow We The People to be Free for real. It will require extensive work from all!!! Who's up for that challenge??? Peace...

Expand full comment

You're absolutely correct with this and the vast importance of comprehending the jurisdictional points raised. Almost no one knows these things and few ever discuss it.

The United States everyone knows today is federal corporation, defined right there in the US Code. sub section 3002 (don't recall the section off the top) The Articles of Confederation and Declaration of Independence must be read by all Americans. We have unconscionably contracted our natural rights away by signing their corporate forms entering corporate personhood, voluntarily leaving behind the protections the constitution owes men and women. All of this legal word salad is what the cabal hides behind and how they justify their egregious violation of the people.

Somehow, this needs to become common knowledge and the remedies to it such that the people are truly free one again. That said, it is my hope that this WWG1WGA plan will cast off all the Roman civil Admiralty legalese and banker magic chains we have borne so that EVERYONE can be free without needing to spend many tedious years of study to master this convoluted system of obvious deception.

Thank You Sir, I'm in total agreement, I would shout it from the roof tops if I thought it would help. Like you said it takes so much research to really understand what is really going on through LAW and their word salad most won't do the research. I usually put the phrase "Prove me wrong Please" in my posts hoping someone will attempt to do such. For I know in doing so they will learn so much and realize I'm speaking truth... I so greatly appreciate your support and understanding of our compromised situation... Peace...

I recall there was another George Washington story from the Revolutionary War that is similar. A British sniper was in a tree and had Washington in his sights but for some reason could not pull the trigger.

he Plot to Kill George Washington

In The First Conspiracy, thriller writer Brad Meltzer uncovers a real-life story too good to turn into fiction

I found the story where all good stories start, which is in the footnotes. I can’t even tell you what book it was. It was almost a decade ago. I was going through the footnotes, and I saw this story. I remember going, “Wait, they were trying to kill George Washington. Is that real? Is that fake? Is that something that you just find on the internet?”

George Washington was not that person. He didn't brag or boast. He realized that to hold his army together and maintain the support of the public and the Continental Congress, he had to maintain an image of impeccable integrity and good character. Perception matters and all eyes were on him. He had to inspire trust. He made mistakes from a military point of view, and he took the criticism for it, but it was hard to doubt his honesty and his devotion to the cause.

Awesome article!!

Not only are there “in real time” happenings that are shrouded in secrecy; but there are also

supernatural, spiritual occurrences going on in the unseen realm within this assassination attempt, & in which no human could have orchestrated. The biblical meaning of the “right ear” (Lev 14:14); the “blood” (Heb 9:22); the iconic picture of DJT prostrate with his shoes off! (Think Moses @ the burning bush, Joshua b4 crossing the Jordan). That picture alone represents a leader of a GOD-Appointed nation humbled b4 his God, & visible to the whole entire world. It was such an inspiration, that a clip on X or TikTok was streaming of African children re-playing the scenario of Trump’s assassination attempt. Our nation’s original purpose was & still is: to propagate the Gospel of Christ, a “city on a hill” (Matt 5:14)—

& a nation whose founders entered a Covenant with the Creator of the Universe. Sadly, how this mighty nation has fallen! Only the REPENTANCE of Americans can prevent & reduce the consequences of her national sin/error. I believe that GOD’s purpose for DJT, is to use him as HIS instrument to restore our F.Father’s covenant with Christ @ America’s origin.

According to Revelation 19, America & her blasphemous, corrupt deeds, sounds

synonymous with the apostle John, the revelator’s description of Babylon the Great.”

I’m not saying she is, but her lawless deeds & rogue leaders of the USA who are in-step with the Antichrist agenda, make America resemble Babylon the Great, the “Queen of harlots.” Brush up on the Good Book, & the analogy I make will become more clear. B/C of Bill Clinton, the Presidential elections have become a “personality contest.” B/C of Hilary Clinton,

the USA is the biggest promoter of abortion worldwide. B/C of both Bush’s, America has been embroiled in avoidable wars. B/C of Obama, same/sex marriages has the nation’s stamp of approval. B/C of Biden, the transgender indoctrination is pushed on the western world. These are only a few examples of the abominations (Scripture declares it), the USA pridefully promotes, & practices evil leaders have enforced. Endorsements & lifestyles like these welcome the wrath of Almighty GOD to fall upon the nation(s), specifically, on the sons of disobedience.

(Eph 2:2; Eph 5:6; Col 3:6). Reader beware & pray for the nation(s).

Lorrie, I agree completely on "awesome article" by Erik, and I loved what you said here: "Sadly, how this mighty nation has fallen! Only the REPENTANCE of Americans can prevent & reduce the consequences of her national sin/error. I believe that GOD’s purpose for DJT, is to use him as HIS instrument to restore our F.Father’s covenant with Christ @ America’s origin." All of us believers need to PRAY for President Trump and VP Vance to see and understand how evil abortion truly is, that someone who has done the research and knows the facts can make that clear to them. I don't think most people realize that most abortions are done with the chemical pills now. Somehow that must seem less evil? It is not. It is murder of a tiny human.

Amen! Anyway you slice it, dice it, or ingest a pill, the intent & the act of abortion is murder of another human being. At conception, the fetus is still fully human. & fully alive. The whole world lies in hand of the evil one who has humanity deceived, except for those individuals that GOD has called & is calling out of darkness. (Colossians 1:15-23).

You Sir, Bring this segment of history to the most truth I’ve had the opportunity to read in yrs since that dreadful grassy knoll shot that to was a perpetrated falsehood to many. Still find it odd that so many were expecting absolution of the narrative brought.

Erik although it’s been yrs ago now, I remember somewhat of the Washington story told from an older History teacher in junior high, as to most young minds history could be a ravaging bore , unless you were lucky enough to hear it brought by the best of the best. So to that I will finish you always amaze me , with add historical events so many haven’t had the privilege of hearing and the value it extends to our lives today. May we all hear the battle cry Fight-Fight-Fight until we have the Country our forefathers fought to give us and President Trump opened our eyes to. Thank you DSA

Trump has been changed forever because of this assignation/ exposure of the Secret Service intentional failure (as I see it), and the deaths/injury of the innocent. He knows it was divine intervention that thwarted the plans of the Cabal. I could see how humbly he spoke. WE were all spared from what the Demonist intended to do. My heart goes out to Baron Trump for all this kid has been through. Must have been traumatic for him. The Kathy Griffin blooded head and now this. Americans were spared as well from the intended civil wars of the Obiden regime. This is huge!! Thanks to the Lord above. 🙏

Assassination day should become a National Holiday and named "THE DAY GOD SAVED AMERICA"

Expand full comment

A Providential Anointing Perhaps? Does God Intervene in the Affairs of Humanity?

It is very thought provoking that many Biblically oriented people are looking at the time stamp (6:11pm EST) of the recent assassination attempt on President Trump as some sort of “sign” that points to various scriptures in the Holy Writ.  This would include Ephesians 6:11, and Genesis 6:11:

“Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil” (Ephesians 6:11). KJV

“The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence” (Gen 6:11). KJV

Of course, when you look at the context of Ephesians 6, you will quickly discover there is specific detailed information revealed that the Apostle Paul wanted to communicate:

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 

Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 

And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 

Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 

And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 

Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints” (Ephesians 6:12-18). KJV

Yet, there were also some other scriptures found in the Torah (Tanach or Old Testament) that might perhaps shed some additional light on what the Almighty was endeavoring to communicate to His enlightened children through Israel’s deliverer Moses, to the shocked world impacted by the globally witnessed attempt, to assassinate Donald J. Trump, the Republican Party nominee for the United States Presidential election November 5, 2024.

“And he (Moses) brought the other ram, the ram (lamb) of consecration: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.  And he slew it; and Moses took of the blood of it, and put it upon the tip of Aaron's right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot” (Lev 8:22-23). KJV

In this chapter of Leviticus, Moses is instructed by the Holy One to anoint the high priest and his sons for the priesthood with blood from a sacrificed male lamb. 

Was it providential that when the President moved his head slightly to the right to view the elevated screen presenting the details about illegal immigration statistics, the assassin’s bullet clipped off the tip of his right ear? 

Immediately, the natural reflexive response was to grab the ear with the right hand which inevitably brought the gushing blood to his right thumb.  Then in the chaos that ensued, Trump went into a crouched position with blood flowing profusely  from his nicked ear to the podium deck.  Within moments, a pool of blood formed, and for some reason, perhaps the impact of the Secret Service agents jumping upon him, his shoes inadvertently came off.  Is it possible that the missing shoe was from his right foot, and is it also conceivable that while standing back up, he accidentally stepped in the blood splotches soaking a modicum of blood through his stocking feet to his right big toe?  (All things are possible with God!)

Could God Almighty in his inimitable way, reveal to a live audience broadcast for the world to visibly eye witness, the palpable process of enabling the unique call on President Trump that was obvious years ago with the recognized “Cyrus” anointing (Isaiah 44:28-45:1), followed by the “Jehu” anointing (2 Kings 9:1-10:34), and now to top it off, the “Aaron” anointing (Leviticus 8:23)?   

Providentially as recorded down through the ages, the Creator God often deliberately restricts Himself by employing human agency to accomplish His will for the created order.  

Is it possible in God’s mercy and response to the petitions and prayers of the saints for restoration of order and a unifying healing of America that this further anointing was assisted by an assassin’s bullet? 

Supernatural interventions (miracles) do occasionally occur.  

From simple observation, it appears that the mortal tasks assigned to Trump, to take down the wicked forces that have surreptitiously taken over so much of the world systems for their nefarious leader, the god of this world, the prince of the power of air, the accuser of the brethren, Lucifer,  Satan, the evil one, requires divine empowerment that is derived only from the Author of His plan for humanity.

Who knows?  Sometimes we all must have the eyes to see and the ears to hear what the Holy One of Israel is doing in the here and now.  Cyrus did not know what he was going to do regarding Israel until he was led to do it.  Jehu had no idea he was going to be anointed king by one of Elisha’s assistant prophets to eliminate the reigning kings of Judah and Israel and preside over the demise of Queen Jezebel.  And most certainly, Aaron and his sons did not know or comprehend the protocol for anointing the high priest and priesthood until the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob gave the instructions to his brother Moses…

Let’s keep praying for God’s will to be done, and that He would have mercy on His people and the nations where they reside.  God’s Word is immutable…Hebrews 4:12

Thanks for your insightful article Eric…

I note your point that Trump is to be not only leader of the US, but also the world.

Do you know the meaning of the name 'Donald?' Answer: ruler of the world.

https://www.behindthename.com/name/donald

From the Scottish Gaelic name Dòmhnall meaning "ruler of the world"

Expand full comment

Yes I recognize that meaning, but also note that John means “graced by God” in Hebrew and “God is gracious’ in Greek.

Trump has both a noun meaning in card game of “overcoming” a play or “helpful or admirable” person. As a verb it again takes the play in cards, and “beat” by saying or doing something better. Not to mention the trumpet (shofar) sounds referenced in the Bible

Therefore, since I am convinced that people generally speaking (because they hear and use the name incessantly from birth), tend to live out their name in their lifetime.

The Bible is replete with examples. The primary example being Yeshua (Hebrew for Jesus) which means salvation.

BTW, since I am also a William, I believe part of my purpose in life is to complete “the Will of I am” which sounds like you are fulfilling likewise!

"It is too early and not nearly enough evidence and information has surfaced to have a complete understanding of the assassination attempt, exactly who was involved and who allowed it to occur. In time, it will all unfold, and I’m sure those involved will be punished for their treason."

I don't believe there will be anyone to punish for this treason.

For the simple fact that the Cabal doesn't like to leave evidence and witnesses behind.

Look what happened to Oswald and others who were involved with JFK, including Jack Ruby and Dorothy Kilgallen (investigative journalist who nosed around the JFK assassination and was eliminated).

Also like the SPECTRE organization from the Bond movies, they severely punish failure, you can bet any insiders who helped with this failure are or will soon go missing or be Epsteined.

Yes, the Hand of God was with Trump that day, as if the twisted flag in the form of an angel wasn't a big enough clue, or that Trump turned his head a split second before the bullet struck.

PS: I also think the Crowdstrike IT disaster is somehow involved in all of this as it's too coincidental in terms of timing to be an "accident".

I'm so glad you mentioned Dorothy Kilgallen; now that's a fascinating rabbit hole. A couple of years ago I read a book about her mysterious death and all that she was investigating about JFK. Wild stuff.

Even on a game show she showed how intelligent she was, it's a shame she didn't realize the quicksand she was stepping into when she took up the JFK case.

I did note that after her death no other investigative journalist came anywhere near looking into the assassination.

I think word got around that it was very unhealthy to keep poking around and asking questions.

Another insightful article Erik. It seems to me that this assassination attempt has all the same hallmarks as the JFK murder. The same playbook. I was 20 in 1963 when that happened and have read plenty about JFK and the similarities are striking. I agree it’s an inside job and it probably won’t take 6 decades for people to get it this time round. More like 6 weeks imo. I hope anyway.

I was 8 when JFK was killed. We lived in Ft Benning, GA, where my dad was a sergeant in the Army. It shocked everybody, to say the least, and we've never been the same.

It must really be hard to be Donald Trump & know that people really do want him dead, and they've tried to kill him... and still to stand up and say he is running for President, as he knows there will be other attempts.

And it's all for Communism, "they" think they will be part of the chosen in society, it's just us who will be enslaved.
