Image of the Week #12: The Second Assassin, by Adam Lehrer
Ryan Routh is one of millions of sleeper agents
There’s now been two assassination attempts on Donald Trump within seven weeks. Assassin number one, Matthew Crooks, posted up on a balcony, set up a rifle, and fired off multiple shots, wounding the President and killing a supporter, before being killed by secret service officials otherwise derelict in duty. The director of the Secret Service, defiant at first, finally resigned after media pressure.
WHAT THE FUCK!?
The second Trump would-be assassin, Ryan Routh, managed to hide inside the bushes at one of the holes at Trump’s florida golf course for TWELVE FUCKING HOURS before being caught and apprehended.
What we know about Routh is that he owned a construction company in Hawaii that did little to no business, had many run-ins with the law, was a registered voter in North Carolina and recently voted in a Democratic primary, he also publicly supported and then revoked support for Donald Trump in 2016, and became deeply, deeply obsessed with the Russia-Ukraine War. Like so many of these mentally unbalanced libtards, it appears a single issue (or meme, Ukraine) compelled him to violent instability.
We still hardly know anything about Crooks, whose identity is so shadowy it seems all but completely impossible that there isn’t someone or some entity out there keeping details on his life hidden. His Wikipedia page claims that his “political motives are unclear,” as if shooting Trump in the ear isn’t a clear enough statement.
WHAT IN THE FUCKING FUCK!?
In The Perfect Crime, Jean Baudrillard says that the media murdered reality and got away with it. But did they? Only 30 percent of Americans claim to have any trust at all in the media, according to Gallup, so it’s more likely that the media killed itself and, like a suicide bomber Jihadi, took reality down with it. Assassinations on political leaders used to be instantly iconic, historic, global news that changed the face of the entire future. Now? It merely is a blip on the screen. Last time Trump got shot at, I was mindlessly numbing my brain watching 90 Day Fiancé. This time, I’d literally just exited my wife’s pussy when she picked up her phone in post-coital bliss and showed me the alert. In both cases, overall reactions of the American public are considerably more diverse and muted than they were to, say, the assassination of the Kennedys or, even, that of Lincoln. And Lincoln didn’t have a television to even broadcast his death.
I think all of us with a shred of perceptual awareness that hasn’t been totally ripped from us by the media that we consume can see the writing on the wall: someone in the agencies wants Trump dead so they don’t have to get away with stealing another election. Typically, such measures aren’t even required to dispatch enemies these days. Find a couple women who will tell the press that your opponent has jerked off on them (or whatever) and you’re good. Trump, however, is remarkably durable. The usual tactics just don’t work on him, because he truly and transcendentally doesn’t give a flying fuck what people say about him. This is when the ruling machine has to become the lowest form of itself: a mafia.
But who is the Don? There is none. It’s just a geopolitical quagmire of global interests acting as a singular entity. While those against him might think the murdering of Trump is the act of a brave knight to do the lesser of two evils of taking his sword to the mad king, in reality it’s more like an in-built algorithmic anti-virus protection that seeks to purge the “bad data” (Trump) and hold onto its stake, even as it stake withers beneath its decaying wiring.
Was Routh a “CIA asset”? Well, it sure is fucking weird that both would-be assassins were in the same ad fundraising for Ukraine’s war effort, and it is even weirder that Routh actually went to Ukraine to fight Russia. That said, I have no clue. We never really have a clue. We don’t even know, definitively, if Charles Manson was truly a CIA asset even if he most definitely, obviously was. The only truth here is that Routh was a CIA asset in the way any furtive consumer of mainstream media would be. CNN, MSNBC, the NY Times, WaPo, ABC and the rest of them are all, of course, agents of mass brainwashing. Those that consume and internalize the tainted information shared by these networks, these “SYSTEMS OF SYSTEMS”, are all being subjected to MKUltraifications of their cerebral cortexes on a mass scale.
If Routh was an asset, he is merely one of millions. Knowing this, which they surely do, and failing to provide Trump with proper protection makes the Secret Service complicit. We’re all complicit. We all allowed this madness to destroy our nation. “The horror” once imagined by Kurtz is so much worse when spread through internet connected cellular devices.
