My thoughts on yesterday's attempt on Trump's life

I call myself the Reluctant Prophet for a very deliberate reason. I take no pleasure in being correct in my predictions as to the inevitable outcomes of pursuing idea pathogens which result in unmitigated devolution of our most sacred institutions. I posted two things yesterday prior to the attempt on former US President Trump’s life that were prescient in their timeliness. The first was the following taken from “How Cultural Marxism Threatens the United States (and the entire Anglosphere including Canada)—and How Americans and the rest of the Anglosphere Can Fight It” @ https://www.heritage.org/progressivism/report/how-cultural-marxism-threatens-the-united-states-and-how-americans-can-fight

SUMMARY: The United States has successfully confronted Marxist attempts to derail it from its historic path of liberty and order. The multifaceted effort to defeat the enemy, generally referred to as the Cold War, concentrated many of the best minds in the country. In 1991, when the Soviet Union dissolved, many Americans and others around the globe justifiably believed that communism had been defeated. However, American Marxists, making use of the complacency that victory often produces, have gained more influence than ever before. Cloaking their goals under the pretense of social justice, they now seek to dismantle the foundations of the American republic by rewriting history; reintroducing racism; creating privileged classes; and determining what can be said in public discourse, the military, and houses of worship. Unless Marxist thought is defeated again, today’s cultural Marxists will achieve what the Soviet Union never could: the subjugation of the United States to a totalitarian, soul-destroying ideology.

And in my second warning I stated that “Trudeau's promotion of the "grievance narrative" has helped to create a society where portraying oneself as a victim will be rewarded by the State. This prevailing "Cult of Victimhood" is responsible for destroying the equality of all before the law by replacing real equality with special treatment for those whom the State labels as victims of the State's "structural oppression". What Statists invariably ignore is that logically this idiotic notion makes the State both the author of and the solution for all oppression when obviously it cannot be both the disease and its cure!” Evidently this warning applies to the entire Anglosphere where due to this narrative being adopted by most if not all of the mainstream political parties and the 4th Estate gullible citizens swallow these false doctrines hook, line, and sinker. And by what means has Cultural Marxism captured public discourse and narrative so completely? Since everything in Western society lies downstream of its education system, following the 1930’s, which is when the professors from the Frankfurt School fled Nazi Germany, Critical Theorists have captured our universities to use them as their vehicle to make disciples who would foment societal revolution.

Former president Trump was just minutes into his rally in Butler when around 10 popping sounds interrupted his speech, sending the crowd into chaos. The former president collapsed behind his podium, as red-capped supporters behind him screamed and tried to duck.

Secret Service agents immediately jumped onto the stage, eventually hoisting up Trump, whose face was dripping with blood. He pumped his fist before agents helped him off stage and into a security vehicle.

Trump has since said he is “fine,” revealing in a graphic statement that he was “shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear.” “I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin,” he said.

The shooting left one spectator dead and another two critically injured. Law enforcement officials said that a Secret Service sniper killed the shooter, who was outside the security perimeter.

Man outside of Trump rally claims he saw the shooter on roof before Trump was struck by bullet. A witness who was just outside the Pennsylvania rally where a gunman apparently attempted to assassinate Donald Trump Saturday night said he tried to alert Secret Service agents to a rifle-wielding man he spotted “bear crawling” onto the roof of a nearby building before gunshots rang through the crowd.

“We’re pointing at the guy crawling up the roof,” the witness, identified only as Greg, told the BBC of the surreal moment. “We could clearly see him with a rifle.”

“I’m standing there pointing at him for two to three minutes,” he continued. “Secret Service is looking at us from the top of the barn, I’m pointing at the roof...and next thing you know, five shots rang out.”

The witness, who was wearing a red Trump 2024 visor, told the BBC that it was “absolutely” clear the shooter — who he said was clad in “muted colors,” like “tan, tight clothing” — was killed.

“Secret Service blew his head off,” Greg said. “They crawled up on the roof, they had their guns pointed at him to make sure he was dead, he was dead. And that’s it. It was over.”

Law enforcement is investigating the incident as an attempted assassination of the former president. The Independent has called the Butler County District Attorney’s Office for more information.

Others have come forward to share their harrowing accounts of the chaos. Another witness, an emergency room doctor, recalled how he sprung into action to try to save a shooting victim in the crowd.

“I heard the shots. I thought it was crackers to begin with,” the doctor, who had blood stains on his T-shirt, told a CBS News reporter.

Someone had been screaming “he was shot, he was shot” so the doctor rushed over. The spectator had been shot in the head, and the doctor said he could see “brain matter.”

“The guy had spun around was jammed between the benches and a head shot here,” the doctor explained.

He then performed CPR and chest compressions on the man.

“I was the only one that did it,” he told CBS News. “There’s a helicopter coming in to get him.”

Boston Globe reporter James Pindell said he noticed early on that Secret Service agents were pointing rifles at a spot away from the crowd. But it wasn’t until Trump was six minutes into his speech that there was a “loud popping noise.”

“When I looked up, the same agents were shooting in the same direction their guns had been pointed all along. I knew they were shooting because I could see smoke from their guns,” he wrote. “I had a clear view of the stage, but at that moment, I was typing up what Trump was saying. When I looked at the podium again, the agents appeared to have Trump on the ground, protecting him. Then other agents were on the stage.”

He said the crowd was in total “shock,” with most crouching down as they tried to take cover.  

“After Trump had been escorted to his car and people sensed the rally was over and they were safe, the crowd turned on the media,” Pindell said. “The crowd was angry. Middle fingers were everywhere. They asked the press if they were happy and blamed the media. ‘You did this,’ they said to reporters.”

“How could such a massive breach in security happen?”, is the first question I need to ask. Secondly, the incident offers more proof that America has become a tinder box ready to ignite the flames of societal discord due to Cultural Marxist identity politics.

Society has become infected with ideas whose entire purpose is to sew discord and unrest, just as I have been warning since 2014 when my wife first informed me how she had learned about the Frankfurt School of Cultural Marxism while attending the University of Oslo. For her part she found these ideas so abhorrent that she could not believe that anyone could or would accept them. Yet just as Christ warned us in Matthew 12 (KJV):

43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.

44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.

45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.

For this wicked generation has rejected Christ to accept godless Neo-Marxist ideas resulting in creating hell on earth!
