Whistleblowers Tell Sen. Hawley Acting Secret Service Chief Personally Ordered Cuts Ahead of Trump Rally, Targeted Agents Who Raised Security Concerns
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) is demanding Acting Secret Service Director Ronald L. Rowe Jr.’s response after agency whistleblowers alleged he “personally directed” personnel cuts that ultimately left former President Donald Trump vulnerable to a would-be assassin’s bullet at his July 13 rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
According to Hawley, anonymous whistleblowers claimed the cuts affected the Secret Service Counter Surveillance Division (CSD), which then failed to conduct a proper threat assessment of the site.
“The whistleblower claims that if personnel from CSD had been present at the rally, the gunman would have been handcuffed in the parking lot after being spotted with a rangefinder,” Hawley wrote in his letter directed at Rowe.

“The whistleblower further alleges that you personally directed significant cuts to CSD, up to and including reducing the division’s manpower by twenty percent.”
“You did not mention this in your Senate testimony when asked directly to explain manpower reductions,” Sen. Hawley added.
Additionally, the whistleblowers claimed the Secret Service would retaliate against agents “who expressed concern about the security at President Trump’s events.”
“The whistleblower claims that following an event with the former President at a golf tournament in August of last year, Secret Service personnel present expressed serious concern that the Secret Service’s use of local law enforcement was not adequate for security needs: local law enforcement were not properly trained for the event or otherwise prepared to execute the tasks given them,” Hawley wrote.
“Further, Secret Service personnel expressed alarm that individuals were admitted to the event without vetting. The whistleblower alleges that those who raised such concerns were retaliated against.”
Hawley is calling on Rowe Jr. to respond by August 8, providing CSD personnel records and info on agents who’ve faced disciplinary action for raising concerns, as well as a “breakdown of Secret Service personnel at the July 13 rally by division or unit.”
Sen. Hawley’s letter comes as he and Rowe Jr., who took over the position following disgraced Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle’s resignation, got into a heated exchange Tuesday during a hearing focused on the security failures that led to the attempted assassination.
Hawley grilled Rowe Jr. over why nobody at the agency has been held “accountable” for the numerous security failures that almost resulted in the death of Trump, to which Rowe responded that he didn’t want to put his “thumb on the scale” during an ongoing investigation.

Back-to-back Reports Confirm Federal Reserve’s Success in Slowing the Economy
People are being laid off faster than at any time since last summer, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Thursday. This follows the report from payroll and HR company ADP on Wednesday showing that new job growth is slowing nearly to a standstill. Both reports confirm the Federal Reserve’s success in slowing the economy.
Initial claims for state unemployment benefits jumped by 14,000 last week, to the highest level since August 2023. Job growth, on the other hand, was a minuscule 122,000 in July, the lowest pace since January.
Most telling is the private report from global outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas: companies have announced 460,000 job cuts so far this year, while employers have plans to hire back fewer than 75,000 of those laid off. That’s the lowest level since 2012, more than a decade ago.
According to Plan
All this is according to plan. As Nela Richardson, chief economist at ADP said: “The labor market is playing along with the Federal Reserve’s effort to slow inflation.”
That plan — to slow the economy in order to fight inflation — is the result of implementing Modern Monetary Policy, or MMT. It’s the strategy first promoted by Stephanie Kelton, professor of public policy and economics at Stony Brook University and advisor to socialist big spenders Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC). It’s the dream of every socialist: to spend money without limit and without worrying about where it will come from.
As Kelton noted more than five years ago:
To save the planet and fix historical inequities … we must change the way we approach the federal budget. We must give up our obsession with trying to “pay for” everything with new revenue or spending cuts.
To combat the inevitable inflation (destruction of the purchasing power of the currency), the Federal Reserve (which created the new money) ratchets up interest rates. This has the intended effect of slowing the economy through loss of jobs and bankruptcies, allowing the next cycle of credit creation, inflation, phony economic growth, and contraction to begin again.
As The New American noted five years ago:
In simple terms, MMT is the new alchemy, a reiteration of a 4,000-year-old dream of tyrants, a medieval chemical pseudo-science that aimed to change lead into gold, a philosophy that promised a universal cure for cancer and a means of indefinitely prolonging life on earth.
Austrian economist Murray Rothbard exposed the fiction of wealth creation through monetary inflation:
What makes us rich is an abundance of goods, and what limits that abundance is a scarcity of resources: namely land, labor, and capital.
Multiplying coin will not whisk these resources into being. We may feel twice as rich for the moment, but clearly all we are doing is diluting the money supply.
As the public rushes out to spend its newfound wealth, prices will, very roughly, double.
Implementing MMT
The Covid pandemic gave the federal government the opportunity to implement MMT with a vengeance. In February 2020, just as the federal government started ramping up its attack on economic, political, and religious freedoms in the name of fighting the China virus, the money supply reported by the Federal Reserve was $15 trillion. As of Thursday that number was $21 trillion, an increase of more than 35 percent.

Salvadoran ‘Gotaway’ Arrested for Killing Woman During Carjacking in Wealthiest US County
An illegal alien from El Salvador has been arrested in the brutal carjacking and killing of a grandmother in Virginia this week, authorities say.
The horrifying incident unfolded just after 11:30 a.m. on Sunday morning in Loudoun County, the wealthiest county in the U.S.
Melody Waldecker, 54, had just parked and was walking into a 7-Eleven store in Sterling when she saw a man getting into her car.
Waldecker tried to stop the suspect, but was run over by her own vehicle as he sped away.
She was pronounced deceased at the scene.
The suspect was involved in at least one more collision with another motorist before being arrested just after 12:15 p.m.
“The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) has confirmed that Mr. Jose Aguilar-Martinez, the suspect in the fatal carjacking on July 28, 2024, in Sterling, is an undocumented non-citizen. A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Detainer has been since issued for him by Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO),” LCSO explained in a press release on Wednesday.
“Mr. Aguilar-Martinez appears to be from El Salvador, has a driver’s license issued by the state of California, and has no fixed address but was recently residing in Sterling.”

According to ICE, Aguilar-Martinez illegally entered the U.S. at an unknown location and date, indicating he was an ‘unknown gotaway.’

Aguilar-Martinez was arrested last month in Loudoun County for public intoxication.
Sheriff Mike Chapman told 7News his office notified ICE that Aguilar-Martinez was in the U.S. illegally, but the agency did not issue an immigration detainer and he was subsequently released.
Aguilar-Martinez was arraigned on a felony carjacking charge on Tuesday but is expected to face additional charges.
Melody Waldecker, a resident of Silver Spring, MD, was reportedly visiting her elderly mother at a nursing home in Loudoun County when she was killed.
A mother of four and grandmother of eight, she worked as a caregiver at a nursing home in Montgomery County, MD, according to a GoFundMe set up for her family.
An investigation is ongoing.

UK Prime Minister Calls Brits Protesting Murder Of Three Young Girls ‘Thugs’ & Promises To Keep Muslim Community Safe
Recently-elected British Prime Minister Kier Starmer commented on recent protests across the country by labeling demonstrators as “far-right” “thugs” for speaking out against the murder of three young girls.
This week’s riots came in response to 17-year-old Axel Muganwa Rudakubana, who was born in Wales to migrants from Rwanda, allegedly stabbing and killing three young girls attending a Taylor Swift-themed dance class.
6-year-old Bebe King, 7-year-old Elsie Dot Stancombe and 9-year-old Alice Dasilva Aguiar were all murdered in the brutal attack.
Rudakubana injured eight other children, with five put in critical condition, and also stabbed two adults.
Instead of vowing to keep all UK citizens safe, specifically innocent young girls, Starmer promised to only protect Muslims.
“In relation to the Muslim community, let me be very clear. I will take every step that is necessary to keep you safe,” he told Muslim citizens.
“The far-right is showing who they are. We have to show who we are in response to that,” he said.

How about you keep everyone safe Kier, especially the natives away from the ‘Muslim community’

Speaking about protesters, Starmer added, “These thugs are mobile. They move from community to community and we must have a policing response that can do the same. Shared intelligence. Wider deployment of facial-recognition technology and preventative action. Criminal behavior orders to restrict their movement before they can even board a train…”
He also warned “big social media companies and those who run them” that it’s “a crime” for disorder to be schemed on their platforms.
Without a hint of irony regarding the three murdered baby girls, Starmer stated, “Service rests on security. And we will take all necessary action to keep our streets safe.”
Keir Starmer just made an address where he labels everyone upset about the murder of 3 little girls by Axel Muganwa Rudakubana as “thugs” and gives police more powers to prevent protests, even ushering in facial recognition to do so! pic.twitter.com/buXMxDPBfm

So, the anti-migration movement is being used to further enhance the British police state so it can be weaponized against the people being replaced by the UN’s replacement migration strategy.
It’s unclear if the murder suspect was a Muslim, but a mosque was damaged during some of the rowdy protests.
Former MI6 head Sir Richard Dearlove recently claimed the demonstrations could be the result of “Russian disinformation,” not due to citizens becoming increasingly angry with migrants murdering their countrymen.
The globalist formula appears to be: flood Western nations with an overwhelming amount of Third World citizens and unleash the full strength of the technocratic police state on them when they finally begin to rightfully fight back.
