The European Union is far from an actual union. Those at the top in Brussels make the decisions, and everyone is expected to adhere blindly. Viktor Orbán of Hungary has long fallen out of favor with the European Union for opposing the war in Ukraine. August is Hungary’s round to host the next EU summit, but foreign affairs ministers are refusing to attend.
Now, each member state has a chance to hold the presidency of the Council of the EU. August 28-29 was slated to be Hungary’s opportunity to share its ideas for matters like foreign policy with the rest of the bloc. EU Foreign Policy Chief Josep Borrell planned a “formal” council meeting on the exact dates of Hungary’s summit to undermine the country’s voice in the bloc.
Two-thirds of foreign ministers chose not to attend the last EU summit hosted by Hungary. Orban had hoped to use that meeting to discuss competing with China to corner the EV market. Hungary’s National Economy Minister Márton Nagy had agreed to adhere to the phase-out of fossil fuel engines by 2035 but opposed putting tariffs on EVs from China. “We don’t believe in [the tariffs]. Protectionism is not a solution. We need more competition,” Nagy said. This event should have been an opportunity for EU ministers to collaborate their ideas for this multi-trillion dollar change that is coming in the near future, but Hungary has been ostracized. No one is actually voting or bringing new ideas to the table.
Uncoincidentally, Orban had met with both Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin ahead of the last summit while he was acting as the rotating president of the European Union. One diplomat said that Orban’s claims that he wanted to discuss peace were a rouse. They play into the hands of Putin and his war project. The Hungarian slogan to ‘make Europe great again’ is more about making Russia great again at this stage,” the diplomat told POLITICO.
The people are unable to decide the fate of Europe as it has fallen into the hands of the unelected elite in Brussels. Hungary has been ostracized by the European Union who does not even respect the nation enough to hear their viewpoints. Europe is under the rule of a collective dictatorship that will prove increasingly tyrannical as the economy turns down.

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, I know who has publicly stated in several of your interviews that you believed the Deep State would not tolerate a Trump victory. You said they would probably attempt an assassination. You also said that only three presidents got more than 60%. Your 2024 forecast by Socrates shows Trump may be the fourth. Do you think this is what Socrates projected with those unusual projections for a landslide?
Mat
ANSWER: Back in 2020, Socrates warned it would be a tight race. Three models called for a Democratic victory; two were dead heat. However, now look at the 2024 election. This time, we have 4 out of the six pointing to a Trump victory. However, in two of those projects, 61% and 59%, I am always amazed at the computer’s ability to forecast for it is correlating everything. No doubt this assassination attempt was probably anticipated by Socrates just as it has been warning of a sharp rise in civil unrest and the the loser will NEVER accept the winner.
This is WHY I have been lobbying on both sides for a political marriage between RFK and Trump. I have been pushing for RFK to be Attorney General in hope of reducing the discontent and the rise in violence. I believe the two together would help heal the separation trend with violence on the horizon. This can be seen as a singe of real unity.

I’m having trouble believing the constructed narrative around President Trump’s attempted assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks.
First, I’m not talking about the ridiculously sketchy events that day. I’m also not talking about the hours, days and weeks leading up to the shooting and the background of what he would be doing in those timeframes. I’m talking about the actual personage of Thomas Mattew Crooks, the description of him, his identity, who he is.
According to what little data footprint is available and shared by media, Thomas Matthew Crooks, age 20, DOB: 09-20-2003, had no social media presence. Let that sink in for a moment. A 20-year-old in 2024 with no social media presence.
No TikTok, WhatsAp, Telegram, SnapChat, Insta, Twit, FB, gaming profile or Apple ID to correspond with his almost guaranteed iPhone, XBox or Playstation? Sorry, not even close to plausible.
Second, it’s Deja-vu all over again with the picture (seen above left) that is widely being used by media in stories about Matthew Crooks. The above image is his freshman high school picture. [SEE HERE] There are no recent or current pictures of 20-year-old Crooks taken by friends, family, or in this era, selfies? And the picture on the left is the best image the media can come up with?
Compare that picture above to the screen grab of Thomas Matthew Crooks taken during the shooting.
The most recent photograph of him is something from High School, with a flag T-Shirt? Seriously?
This, optical narrative control has serious Trayvon Martin vibes to it.
For those who do not know, below is the picture of Trayvon Martin that was used to set the “if I had a son” narrative, as advanced by President Barack Obama. However, on the right is a selfie taken by 17-year-old Trayvon Martin the week he encountered George Zimmerman.
I detect a similarity between the imagery of Thomas Crooks presented by media, in comparison to what we can seemingly identify from the blurry images of him as he carried out his assassination attempt. Someone inside a silo is intent on establishing a very specific narrative.
In the days, weeks and months after the Trayvon, Mike Brown (Big Mike) and Freddie Gray constructs, we were able to dig deep and discover the reality hidden by media pretense. However, just as DHS began controlling the content on social media, the people within the Deep State silos modified and organized in the years that followed the Trayvon fraud.
The issue seems small but looms large because the ramifications of control over the identity of Thomas Matthew Crooks. If this much exhaustive effort is put into concealing his footprint, it only makes the sketchy outcomes of his activity seem that much more nefarious.
If Crooks is what government silos claim he is, then there’s no reason to have such a strong level of control over his data footprint. Something isn’t right.
At this point, I’m not sure what it means, because the absence of evidence is not necessarily evidence of absence.
As we learned in the months and years after the Trayvon Martin shooting, there are little known agencies within government with capabilities to permanently control information. The Community Relations Service (CRS) within Main Justice is one such omnipotent agency.
It was the DOJ-CRS that took control over the Vegas shooter background and information. However, this is even another level stronger than that.
I do not expect the legislative branch to unpeel this issue because the legislative branch is subservient to the CRS; but it’s amazing how so many people just accept the absence of a 20-year-old’s social media footprint as just something that can, well, maybe, just happen. It doesn’t happen.

It was odd on that first night when Joe Biden announced the FBI would be investigating the assassination attempt of Donald Trump, only a few hours after the failed shooting. How did the people around Biden immediately know something went wrong?
Then things got even more sketchy when police reported the assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was spotted and photographed acting suspiciously 30 minutes before the attempted assassination. Unfortunately, they “lost track” of him.
To the commonsense observer, Crooks had to be wandering around the venue for quite a while. I mean, the scheduled start time for the speech was originally 5:00pm, yet President Trump didn’t get started until an hour later 6pm. Obviously, Thomas Crooks would have been doing something for an hour while he waited. What was it?
The sense of something sketchy increased exponentially with all the subsequent updates about the police backing down from the roof when the assassin pointed his gun at them. Especially when considering the lack of Secret Service removing President Trump from the known kill box, and the crowd yelling at law enforcement while Crooks was getting into position, a mere 400 feet from Trump.
Then we find out that multinational media conglomerate Blackrock, just coincidentally used Thomas Crooks in one of their PR ads. To top off the suspicious nature of the networks, Blackrock executives are literally in the White House guiding Joe Biden (see the Donilon family). However, even Suspicious Cat could not make up what comes next.
According to the latest CBS report, Thomas Crooks was spotted by a three-man sniper security detail.
Crooks was seen using a range finder to view the stage where President Trump was soon to arrive. Then Crooks climbed onto the building that was housing the security detail and it was from that position he fired nine shots at President Trump, taking off part of his right ear.
Folks, we are not suspicious enough about this entire set of events.
VIA CBS – There were three snipers stationed inside the building the shooter used during Saturday’s shooting of former President Donald Trump, a local law enforcement officer with direct knowledge of the incident tells CBS News.
The operations plan had them stationed inside the building looking out windows toward the Trump rally. The information about the three snipers being inside the building was first reported by BeaverCountian.com.
One of the snipers inside saw Thomas Matthew Crooks outside and looking up at the roof, observing the building and disappearing, a local law enforcement officer tells CBS News.
Crooks came back, sat down and looked at his phone. At that point, one of the snipers took a picture of him. Crooks took out a rangefinder and the sniper radioed to the command post. Crooks disappeared again and then came back a third time with a backpack. The snipers called in with information that he had a backpack and said he was walking towards the back of the building.
Officers believe that Crooks might have used an air conditioning unit to get on top of the roof.
By the time other officers came for backup, he had climbed on top of the building and was positioned above and behind the snipers inside the building, the officer said. (read more)
But wait,…. It gets worse….
When justifying why the Counter Snipers were not positioned on the roof, Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle said Secret Service officials planning security for Trump’s rally considered the warehouse 147 yards away from where Trump spoke to be a risky position for stationing an agent.
Apparently, the Secret Service agent in charged deemed the roof slope too much of a safety hazard to transverse. [LINK HERE]
The roof atop the security counter-snipers was deemed too sloped for safe positioning. The roof behind President Trump was not.
We are not being suspicious enough.
But wait,…. It gets worse….
With all these mounting questions now beginning to become too overwhelming to ignore, even for a few within the mainstream media, something is needed to change the narrative.
Something,…. Anything…. Here comes CNN:
VIA CNN – US authorities obtained intelligence from a human source in recent weeks on a plot by Iran to try to assassinate Donald Trump, a development that led to the Secret Service increasing security around the former president in recent weeks, multiple people briefed on the matter told CNN.
There’s no indication that Thomas Matthew Crooks, the would-be assassin who attempted to kill the former president on Saturday, was connected to the plot, the sources said.
The existence of the intelligence threat from a hostile foreign intelligence agency — and the enhanced security for Trump — raises new questions about the security lapses at the Saturday rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, and how a 20-year-old man managed to access a nearby rooftop to fire shots that injured the former president. (read more)
Don’t look at Blackrock.
Don’t look at the White House.
Don’t look at the #1 beneficiary of the assassination plot, Joe Biden. Who is no longer seemingly under convention threat for removal.
Don’t look at the Secret Service, the FBI or any of the various security systems that “failed.”
Nope, now the five key stenographers who constructed the Trump-Russia collusion story, are saying, look at the Iranians.

Video Pla
The nation was silent when President Joe Biden called Donald Trump’s supporters “domestic terrorists” who are the “greatest threat to the nation.” Demonizing Trump has extended to demonizing his supporters – over half of Americans, many of who cannot openly share their political beliefs without the fear of violence.
Donald Trump has been compared to Adolf Hitler for the past 8 years. The rhetoric surrounding Donald Trump is intended to rile up vicious emotions as fear turns into anger. They’ve used gender to instill fear, declaring that Trump will eliminate women’s rights to the point that they will be second-class citizens. They’ve use race to instill fear, claiming that Donald Trump will target minorities. Trump simply hates Latinos, Muslims, and all minorities and wants to separate families with his immigration policies. They’ve used the war to spark fear, continuing the disproven Steele Dossier narrative fabricated by Hillary Clinton that insists Trump is Putin’s puppet who aid him in conquering all of Europe. They’ve used social class to invoke fear, juxtaposing the wealthy businessman to the average American as if all politicians are not above the working man.
There are videos of commentators crying on air, begging the nation to stop Trump before he locks everyone away who disagrees with him. Liberal commentator Rachel Maddow claims Trump will become “president for life” if he is not imprisoned. She pretended to cry on air, stating Trump has sent migrant babies to shelters, ignoring that millions of children have gone missing at the border entirely because we have permitted an open-air human trafficking operation amid these lawless open borders. They claim Donald Trump uses the same language that led to the holocaust, and his leadership all but guarantees an actual genocide in America.
CNN’s Jamie Gangel criticized Trump directly after his assassination attempt, “I do want to say there was one thing that when I watched the tape, I found odd, because of all of the heated rhetoric.” Civil unrest has heightened to a level that teeters on civil war and the propaganda machine is attempting to cause an implosion.
Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) has condemned the violence in his own party. “We are on that precipice,” he said. “So leadership requires that we all step back. And we say enough is enough. We can’t do this. And this is my call to action, both to the American people, and to my colleagues, to the American people, right now: pick up the phone, walk out your door, go talk to your neighbor, go talk to your colleague, call your friends, who don’t agree with you and tell them, we can disagree. You’re not my enemy. You’re not evil. But this is our time to come together and to reach out to each other and to my colleagues. Let’s stop creating political moments. And let’s start creating political change. That is what we need now.”
The politicians invoking fear are to blame as if their media mouthpiece. The left knows that their violence will go without consequence and some believe they must stop the MAGA violent extremists before they all wind up in concentration camps. The right has had enough of the distorted reality and extreme views parroted by the media and can easily go from the defensive to the offensive. The nation needs a leader who will truly condemn this violence and ask the people to remember we are merely human beings who can agree to disagree. If only the people could open their eyes and see that their neighbor is NOT the enemy.

There are many now calling for a serious investigation of the Secret Service. Nevertheless, we are entitled to answers NOW and no more JFK-style investigation BS that covered up the DEEP STATE, which may be involved again. Trump now knows the game, as I do; this time, he will have his own cabinet. That makes him a serious threat to the Neocons and the Deep State.
This assassination attempt is the first legitimate attack on the life of a president since President Ronald Reagan was shot as he left the Hilton Hotel in Washington on March 30th, 1981. That was 43 years ago (half the 8.6), which cyclically was on par.
The Democrats have started calling him a Republican to divert blame from themselves. But this kid was a loner, and he donated to left-wing causes. Here is the Guardian on the subject.
There are claims that some Secret Service Agent Jonathan Millis said he was one of the two men in this photo and he was not given permission to shoot. This seems to be fake news claiming he was one of the two guys in the photo with “POLICE” on the back, which neither the FBI nor the Secret Service wear. Look, they will deliberately start outrageous FAKE NEWS so they can easily discredit that and then attribute everything else said to the same source. This is how they use FAKE NEWS for political purposes.
The country is so polarized by this demonization of Trump that, beginning with Hillary calling half the country “deplorables,” what has set in motion is the decline and fall of our country. It was McCain who handed the fake dossier Hillary paid to have written against Trump all because the two of them were Neocons, and as I have reported before, I was asked to invest $10 billion into Hermitage Capital to take over Russia, which Edmond Safra and Bill Browder owned.
This has always been these Neocons and their hatred of Russians. They have been waging endless wars with no victories, and more than 50% of the national debt is all because of them and their abuse of American power. We are still paying interest in the funding for every war, including World War II, because they NEVER pay anything off. They hate Trump because he is anti-war, just like JFK. This is why countless money was wasted on propaganda that was created about RussiaGate all to be able to seize the wealth of Russia. I was offered 10x my investment to join.
They tried to get Gorbachev to join NATO, which set off the coup against him in Russia, ending with Yelsin becoming Russia’s leader. When they tried to blackmail Yeltsin to stick in their puppet, Boris Berezovsky, that is when Yeltsin turned to Putin because the Communists were also trying to impeach him. Putin was neither an oligarch nor a communist. That is why Hillary blamed Putin for interfering in the 2016 election, for they had interfered in the Russian 2000 election. Those fake allegations have resulted in nobody will accept the results of this election, regardless of who wins.
Donald Trump MUST be careful. I question how someone could be on that roof in shooting distance without the Secret Service’s awareness. What happened to video drones or helicopters? Just because Trump has survived one assassination attempt, with the Democrats trying to pull his Secret Service protection and denying RFK Jr Secret Service protection, one must face the reality that there is a very dark side to Washington that never sees the light.
Most people are not aware, but there have been multiple attempts against other presidents also during periods that have often been disconcerting. The assassin was 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, who Secret Service agents killed at the scene after the shooting. He had donated $15 to a progressive Democrat movement. The FBI identified him as a resident of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania – about 35 miles south of Butler, where Trump was holding his rally.
There were two tries against Abraham Lincoln with the second one succeeding. There were also two attempts against William Howard Taft in 1909 and again in 1910. There were also two attempts against Franklin Roosevelt. There were two against Harry Truman as well as against Richard Nixon and George W. Bush. Gerald Ford had three attempts on his life. Even Jimmy Carter had two attempts.
The record for attempted assassinations is held by Obama, with eight attempts on his life. Even Bill Clinton had five attempts. We must be aware that the Democrats have so polarized this election with hatred that we must be deeply concerned that if Trump is assassinated, this country will be torn apart.

As more investigative details of the attempted Trump assassination surface, some alarming information is surfacing.
[PENNSYLANIA] – BUTLER, Pa. — Channel 11 news uncovered dramatic new details Monday in the moments leading up to the assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump. According to multiple law enforcement sources, Thomas Crooks was spotted by law enforcement on a roof nearly 30 minutes before shots were fired that injured Trump, killed a former fire chief, and injured two others in the crowd.
Channel 11′s Nicole Ford confirmed that Beaver County’s ESU team had eight members at the rally, including snipers and spotters. According to Ford’s sources, one of them noticed a suspicious man on a roof near the rally at 5:45 p.m., called it in and took a picture of the person. We have learned from our sources the person in that picture is Thomas Crooks. We’re told it’s not clear if Crooks had a gun with him at that point.
According to multiple sources, a law enforcement officer had also previously seen Crooks on the ground and called him in as a suspicious person with a picture prior to 5:45 p.m. Our sources tell us an officer checked the grounds for Crooks at that point but did not see him where the first picture was taken.

Following the President Trump assassination attempt, the White House is under pressure to answer questions about the collapse in security. Even moderate democrats are suspicious and independent political followers are watching this specific press briefing closely.
To address some of the Secret Service issues, the parent silo The Dept of Homeland Security, will be present in the briefing. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre will be joined by DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas as the press pool expands questioning. Livestream Links Below
