Assassin Flew Drone over Rally Hours before Trump’s Appearance
Shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks flew a drone over the Butler, Pennsylvania fairground a few hours before former president Trump’s appearance, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The Journal claimed to have spoken to “law-enforcement officials” who told them that Crooks flew a drone on a “programmed flight path” over the fairground where Trump was due to speak. Crooks flew the drone over the fairground more than once “as he researched and scoped out the event site.”
The revelation, if true, is another stunning admission of failure by Trump’s security detail.
Donald Trump Jr. commented on the revelation on Twitter, saying that he was prevented by the Secret Service from flying his own drone off the beach at Mar-a-Lago when his father was there.
“Now we have one literally scouting his speech!!!” Don Jr. said.
The official line remains that Crooks was a troubled loner who planned and carried out the assassination attempt on 13 July without any aid from others.
Officials have said that Crooks planned the assassination attempt meticulously. He began his research not longer at the event at Butler was announced on 3 July. He registered for the event on 7 July and a few days later visited the fairground to begin his preparation.
He also created homemade bombs, including devices that were found in his car at the Butler showground. It’s not currently known how Crooks was able to manufacture these devices.
“It’s unclear how Crooks assembled the explosive devices found in his car,” CNN reported.
“Investigators parsing through his online search history haven’t found any indication of him researching how to make home-made explosives, law enforcement officials said.”
It has also been revealed that Crooks used encrypted cell-phone accounts to communicate.
A motive for the attempt on Trump’s life is also yet to be established. There has been focus on the fact that Crooks appeared to be registered as a Republican to vote, but that he also donated money to a Democrat PAC on the day of Biden’s inauguration. The Wall Street Journal claims that, as well as searching “for dates of Trump rallies,” Crooks also searched for “information about next month’s Democratic convention and President Biden.”

Bombshell: Scientific Analysis of Raw Audio Suggests AT LEAST TWO Shooters Firing Different Weapons in Two Locations to Kill Trump
Forensic audio analysis of the moments shots were fired at Donald Trump indicates there were at least two shooters attempting to kill the former president, contradicting the government’s lone wolf narrative, according to a PhD researcher.
In a video published to X on Thursday, Dr. Chris Martenson walks through his investigation of audio picked up from microphones located in two different places at Trump’s rally in Butler, Penn.

While the official story has claimed the only two gunmen that day were would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks and the Secret Service Counter Sniper that shot him, Martenson says his research “conclusively proves that two (and possibly three) weapons were fired at Trump and the assembled crowd.”
Martenson’s research builds on forensic audio analysis noted by CNN, which on Sunday published an article claiming “Audio forensics suggest as many as three weapons fired at Trump rally.”

In the article, CNN wrote audio researchers at the National Center for Media Forensics at the University of Colorado in Denver noted the analysis “suggests that as many as three weapons were fired” at the rally.
CNN also noted: “Audio analysis has also confirmed that the gunman was about 360 to 393 feet from the podium, according to forensics expert Robert Maher,” which Martensen said lines up with his research.
“This should not be information you get from me. This should already be part of the national dialog and we should be getting routine updates from the FBI about how they are going about locating the second (and possibly third) shooters,” Martensen says.
The narrative of Crooks being a “lone gunman” is 100% provably false. Which means any deflection to investigating ‘security lapses’ is evidence of a cover-up

The evidence I present today comes from analyzing and then comparing the audio files from two separate video recordings,…
Ultimately, the PhD researcher says a congressional investigation is warranted, and he has various questions lined up.
Here are some questions for any reporters or congressional staffers reading this:
(1) What is the FBI doing to locate the other shooter(s)?Have you found the second location and recovered the brass?
(2) How did a second shooter escape detection given all the security staff on hand?
(3) What does the FBI’s audio analysis reveal about the locations of the second shooter(s)?
(4) How many spent casings around Crooks can be counted on the Axon body cameras of the first arriving officers on the scene?
(5) Please also provide any and all body camera audio recordings from local police. SS too, but we’d prefer RAW files from the locals. Kthx.
(6) Please immediately provide the ballistics and the medical injury reports including angles of penetration for each of the three victims.
(7) Also, we’ll need an accurate accounting of the path and final destination of every bullet fired.
(8) Finally, who exactly was in the building just beneath Crooks at the exact time the first three shots were fired?

Trump Holds ‘Very Good’ Phone Call with Ukraine President Zelensky Day After Securing Republican Nomination
Former President Donald Trump confirmed he spoke with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky Friday, one day after accepting the Republican presidential nomination.
“President Zelenskyy of Ukraine and I had a very good phone call earlier today,” Trump wrote. “He congratulated me on a very successful Republican National Convention and becoming the Republican nominee for President of the United States.”
Trump said Zelensky “condemned the heinous assassination attempt and remarked about the American people coming together in the spirit of Unity during these times.”
“I appreciate President Zelenskyy for reaching out because I, as your next President of the United States, will bring peace to the world and end the war that has cost so many lives and devastated countless innocent families,” Trump wrote on Truth Social Friday evening.
“Both sides will be able to come together and negotiate a deal that ends the violence and paves a path forward to prosperity.”
Earlier Friday, MSNBC appeared freaked out over the call, worried it signals Trump’s possible return to the White House.

It’s unclear which side initiated the phone call, but it comes as the Democrat Party is urging US President Joe Biden to give up his 2024 reelection bid in favor of another less-senile candidate.
News of the phone call followed the final night of the Republican National Convention, where in a keynote speech Trump noted there would be no war between Ukraine and Russia if he were president.
During last month’s presidential debate, Trump criticized Joe Biden for gifting Zelensky hundreds of billions of US taxpayer dollars, saying, “Biden is giving $200 billion or more to Ukraine. That’s a lot of money. Every time Zelensky comes to this country, he walks away with $60 billion. The greatest salesman ever.”
Likewise, vice presidential running mate J.D. Vance is believed to share Trump’s sentiments, saying in 2022, “I don’t really care what happens to Ukraine one way or another.”
Speaking to the BBC earlier this week, Zelensky seemed unconcerned by the prospect Trump could be reelected, saying it would be “hard work, but we are hard workers.”
However, at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute in Washington on Tuesday, Zelensky said, “I can’t tell you what he will do, if he will be the president of the United States … we need answers.”
Interestingly, the phone call comes as cybersecurity company Crowdstrike on Friday experienced a significant global outage affecting various industries worldwide.
In the infamous “perfect” phone call with Zelensky, for which Democrats impeached Trump, the former president mentioned Crowdstrike as possibly being the owners of the DNC servers he wanted the Ukrainian president to help investigate.
“Now the Crowdstrike CEO simulates a mass blackout one day after Trump secures the Republican nomination after the assassination attempt failed,” noted citizen journalist @ultrafrog17 on X.
Crowdstrike is so untouchable for the DNC that Trump once got impeached for asking about the CrowdStrike server located in Ukraine in his phone call with Zelensky circa 2019.

Russia Warns It Sees ‘Concentrated Presence’ Of NATO Warships In Black Sea
The Kremlin has again warned against a build-up of NATO warships in the Black Sea, while saying it is monitoring a noticeable increase in Western military vessels.
“Of course, the concentrated presence of NATO ships – we are paying attention to Bulgaria and Romania, the coastal states that are members of the (NATO) alliance – of course this represents, especially in the current situation, an additional threat to Russia,” Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told a press briefing Thursday.
“Of course, Russia will take all necessary measures to ensure its own security,” he added. Throughout the course of the war, Ukraine forces have used both aerial missiles as well as sea drones to attack Russia’s Black Sea fleet.
Ukraine’s President Zelensky has meanwhile vowed to not let Russia dominate the Black Sea. This week he unveiled a new ‘maritime security strategy’ in cooperation with the West.
The strategy seeks to ensure “readiness, comprehensive and effective prevention and response to threats to the maritime security of Ukraine arising in coastal areas, in its maritime spaces, as well as other areas of the World Ocean to which the economic and other interests of Ukraine extend.”
A key measure is that it proposes “ensuring the permanent presence of NATO forces in the Black Sea.”
Ukraine military officials have lately claimed that Russia is pulling much of its naval assets from the Crimean coast amid recent successful drone strikes there:
Dmitry Pletenchuk, a spokesperson for the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, made the statement in a Facebook post on Monday.
“The last patrol ship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet is leaving our Crimea right now. Remember this day,” he said, per a translation by the state-affiliated Ukrainian news outlet Militarnyi.
Ukraine previously claimed it has destroyed up to one-third of Russia’s Black Fleet, likely also using Western-supplied missile and drone systems.
While the extent to which this is accurate remains unclear, Russia has long been seeking to protect its docked and deployed naval forces with extra precautions.

For example, military observers have confirmed Russian ships are increasingly using the more protected Sea of Azov to fire missiles at Ukraine, to prevent additional losses.
