Admin Investigation Out

I decided years ago to never attribute to conspiracy what could be accounted for by incompetence, corruption or stupidity. If you put all three together you'll have a firestorm no conspirators could match.

Seems like even a poorly run conspiracy is beyond the competence of… Never mind. I better try to be good. :mad:

PS Buford, you didn't remember to include arrogance.
 
Not surprised, many knew this from that other thread. ;)

The SS may not have the manning, or maybe they do, folks are always clamoring for give me more. Look at school failures, always "needing" more money….maybe it's the curriculum and not the money? :confused:

Any of these events can, and has, been supplemented with local LE.
This was managerial incompetence by the senior agent in charge, imo.

Like the educational system, Congress needs to look at the USSS and see if they have too much "bureaucracy" i.e. those drawing a salary and not actually doing any beneficial work.
 
Read the summary. Pretty much like I've posted earlier, no command, control & communications. It appears the "shared decision making" was a standard bureaucratic move to avoid responsibility. Reading through the recommendations seems to ensure that there'll be yet another level of GS folks created to make sure that, in the future, all the self important posteriors are adequately covered.

The job might get done better & cheaper if they went down to 8th & I street and found a retiring Marine Sargent Major to straighten things out.
 
That's pretty bad when you see a nearby rooftop and consider it out of the scope of your security. When somebody says, "Hey, there's a suspicous guy up on that roof!" and they get ignored. And a long list of other failures.


Both attempts were inside jobs.

Shooter #1 had overseas accounts, both social & financial. He also trained at a range where Feds did. Coincidence? I think not.

Shooter #2 staked out the golf course for a long time. How did he know Trump would be there that day?

There's NO excuse for this "not enough people" BS, IMO. Perimeters can be watched, patrolled & secured by unarmed volunteers who have comms. Police auxiliary units, veterans or campaign volunteers could all be used in this manner. Problem is, the Govt doesn't WANT to do this because they WANT to hurt Pres. Trump. They're scared to death of his next term, how many might go to jail/prison (which should be a LOT!).

The Butler, PA shooting is a perfect example of ignoring the public's input when they alerted about a guy on the roof with a rifle. Yet they allowed Pres. Trump to continue onto the stage. Then we learn most of his DEI protection team was from Homeland Security or some ****.

Inside jobs, every single incident. :mad:
 
It's amazing that people who are onboard with anti-USG conspiracy theories from Loomer, et al, can't see the obvious Putin asymmetric war plan - find a well-known rich guy, push him into politics through bribes, flattery, and Kompromat, and support him covertly through disinformation and overtly through Russian state-run media. Examples are Bidzina Ivanishvili (Georgia, Republic of), Vladimir Plahotniu, and Ilan Shor (Moldova) who are specific proof of the Putin policy.

Paying for war is expensive (and you might not be able to swallow what you bite off), while buying politicians is much less so.

We will never hear the whole story.
The Secret Service and FBI have had plenty of time to get their stories straight.
Both attempts almost had to be inside jobs.
Unfortunately, there will be others. Soon.
 
It's intersting that the inabilty to provide enough security only effects one candidate, but not the other.

One candidate is actually out in the public significantly more than the other. That increases exposure and opportunity.
 
What got me is the reports of senior agents that have reached salary caps being expected to work OT for free. This is not what I'd consider beneficial to morale.

That's been going on for years, and it's only the tip of the iceberg where morale-killing policies are concerned. The USSS Uniformed Division (the police officers who control access to the White House, the Vice-President's residence, and foreign embassies) has been especially hard-hit, with mandatory overtime and days off cancelled on short notice.

Putin has learned how to use Americans' confirmation bias to his advantage.

German historian Hannah Arendt (1906 - 1975) famously noted...

"This constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore. A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong. And such a people, deprived of the power to think and judge, is, without knowing and willing it, completely subjected to the rule of lies. With such a people, you can do whatever you want."
