Authorities have released the first photos from the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at his golf course earlier Sunday.

The FBI released pictures of the suspect’s backpack and rifle. FBI Routh after he was apprehended by authorities in Florida.

The photos show alleged gunman an AK-47 rifle propped up against a fence alongside a black backpack and a GoPro attached to the wires.

Law enforcement sources identified that suspect as Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, of Hawaii.

A second image shows the suspect’s arrest on I-95 by local police and pulled over. It shows his black vehicle blocked in by two police cars, including a police truck.

Trump released an “alert” statement following the incident assuring that he is “safe and well” hours after being rushed to safety when a man with a rifle was spotted nearby at his Florida golf course. 

The suspect’s backpack.

The suspect was spotted by Secret Service agents one hole ahead of Trump, who was playing on the green. The agents opened fire on the gunman, who was not hit. 

“There were gunshots in my vicinity, but before rumors start spiraling out of control, I wanted you to hear this first: I AM SAFE AND WELL!” Trump wrote in a statement. 
“Nothing will slow me down. I will NEVER SURRENDER!”


Follow the latest on the foiled assassination attempt on Donald Trump in Florida:


The former president was nearly assassinated two months ago after gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire at a rally in Butler, PA., grazing Trump’s ear and killing a retired fire chief. The shooting followed a slew of errors made by his Secret Service detail, including installing basic safeguards and denying requests for additional security

Trump called for unity at the Republican National Convention just four days after the assassination attempt. 

“The discord and division in our society must be healed. As Americans, we are bound together by a single fate and a shared destiny. We rise together. Or we fall apart,” he said during his speech at the RNC. 

Here's what we know about the assassination attempt on Trump in Florida:

Routh is a North Carolina native who lives and works in Honolulu, Hawaii as a shed builder. 
He avidly commented on politicians’ and pop culture icons’ X posts, calling on anyone remotely relevant to help with whatever cause he believed in, ranging from stopping the war in Ukraine to saving a staircase in O’ahu, Hawaii. 

“I feel lucky to have been born in America, with freedom and opportunity and hope that I do not waste such a valuable thing; to do more and take less,” his X bio reads. 

Routh also has his own website for his supposed mayoral candidacy in Honolulu. His forum includes more in depth versions of posts on his X account, including his advocacy for the separation of church and state and his opinion on global affairs. 

This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.

Since (IMO) the Führerhauptquartier of US-sponsored international terrorism is Kiew, this time maybe Zelensky and his pals are the "masterminds" behind this recent assassination attempt?

I wonder what would happen if it turned out that the failed new Trump shooter Routh, who recruited mercenaries for the Ukrainian army, was himself hired by the neo-nazi regime in Kiev for this assassination attempt?

We know little so far, but w alleged Trump shooter's personal and public participation in military activity in Ukraine, it is hard to imagine this White House's agencies can claim zero contact—"clean hands." Something of an Oswald vibe, here. Congress should get answers.

 

 

No matter if your name is Medwedew, Snowden, Kinaski or Niederhut: Speculating about the Trump asassination attemps became nearly impossible, because they are happening too fast. :mellow:

NEW DEVELOPEMENTS: Blackwater CEO & Ex-Navy SEAL Erik Prince is calling on Governor Ron DeSantis and other local authorities to TAKEOVER the investigation into the 2nd attempt on Trump's life from the FBI before they scrub everything "I would not even turn that guy over to the Feds until he has been thoroughly investigated, interrogated by the state and local authorities.

Remember the Dallas Police handing all the evidence over to Hoover? This was the beginning of the end of any real JFKA investigation. This is a crucial moment.

Would-Be Trump Assassin Palled Around With Neo-Nazi Azov Brigade In Ukraine: What Did The Government Know?

Tyler Durden's Photo
by Tyler Durden
Monday, Sep 16, 2024 - 02:40 PM
Perhaps the most interesting angle to attempted Trump assassin Ryan Routh's recent history in his Ukraine connection. We documented that when he went to Ukraine to recruit for its International Legion in 2022 he was a Western mainstream media darling for a time, having been quoted on behalf of the cause to get more foreign fighters thrown into the battle against Russia by a who's who of major media sources from FT to Newsweek to the NY Times.

But when he arrived in Ukraine, according to these media reports, the 58-year old Routh himself was considered too old to fight alongside the Ukrainian army. "So plan B," Routh described to one outlet, "was to come to Kiev and promote the idea of many others coming to join the International Legion. We need thousands of people here to fight alongside Ukrainians." 

"There are about 190 countries on our planet, and if the governments are not officially sending soldiers here, then we civilians should pick up this torch and make it happen," he described. He had told Newsweek in a video interview from Ukraine that the war with Russia was as simple as "good vs. evil" and essentially the same as good guys and bad guys in the Hollywood movies Americans grew up with. It was not a gray conflict, he described, but "black and white".

routhukr.jpg?itok=GVTEfqvc LinkedIn/X

In March of 2022, just a month into the Russian invasion, he tweeted that everyone around the globe should be willing to volunteer and "fight and die" in Ukraine. Still, much of his time was reportedly spent in a hotel room in the far western city of Lviv.

Among the more bizarre aspects to his campaigning on behalf of the Ukrainian military's foreign legion were his efforts to recruit US-trained Afghan special soldiers to go to Ukraine's front lines. The initiative appeared so large in scale (given Routh was seeking to transfer hundreds, or even thousands, of Afghan fighters - according to his words) - that one commentator questions in light of the attempted assassination of Donald Trump: "Who was he working with in the US government that was allowing him to do this?"

In a 2023 interview with the NY Times Routh openly displayed his proclivity toward violent acts by threatening to shoot his critics, and the Times featured the quote almost as if lionizing his commitment to defending Ukraine:

In a telephone interview with The New York Times in 2023, when Mr. Routh was in Washington, he spoke with the self-assuredness of a seasoned diplomat who thought his plans to support Ukraine’s war effort were sure to succeed. But he appeared to have little patience for anyone who got in his way. When an American foreign fighter seemed to talk down to him in a Facebook message he shared with The New York Times, Mr. Routh said, "he needs to be shot."

Surely visibility like this put him on the federal government's radar... or given Washington's pro-Ukraine euphoria US officials were possibly even helping him in some way.

He had received so much media attention also apparently as head of the International Volunteer Center in Ukraine. Importantly, he has boasted of having "had partners meeting with [Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense] every week and still have not been able to get them to agree to issue one single visa." This raises the question of the degree of his involvement with US government officials at the time.

The Times had documented that Routh planned to move volunteers "in some cases illegally, from Pakistan and Iran to Ukraine" - and claimed that many had expressed interests. He further boasted of breaking or at least bending foreign countries' laws in some cases. "We can probably purchase some passports through Pakistan, since it’s such a corrupt country," he told NY Times. He announced on Facebook at one point, "Soldiers, please do not call me. We are still trying to get Ukraine to accept Afghan soldiers and hope to have some answers in the coming months… please have patience."

He also recounted some of this experience in his self-published book, still available on Amazon, which is titled "Ukraine’s Unwinnable War: The Fatal Flaw of Democracy, World Abandonment and the Global Citizen-Taiwan, Afghanistan, North Korea and the end of Humanity."

As if all of this weren't shady enough, raising a myriad of questions over who in the US government knew what and when of the future would-be Trump shooter, he had connections with Ukraine's neo-Nazi Azov Brigade (often referenced by its earlier name Azov Battalion). 

For a brief background review of Azov, even mainstream media has long grudgingly admitted that "in response to the neo-Nazi ideology of the group's founders, the US had banned the regiment from using American weapons in 2014." But the State Department more recently claimed it found "no evidence" that the extremist militant group has committed human rights violations or war crimes (in which case US law would prohibit providing weapons or training). This after President Volodymyr Zelensky himself has long been boosting the reputation Azov commanders in public appearances.

The US State Department in June of this year announced that it finally lifted a longtime ban on giving weapons and training to the notorious group. All the while, Azov's members have never been shy about sporting Nazi-inspired patches

azv.jpg?itok=D5K9E21t Prior widely circulating images of Azov fighters displaying NATO and Nazi flags.

As of Monday, and with all of these deep Ukraine connections made evident with regard to Ryan Routh, the Zelensky government as well as Azov Brigade are attempting some serious PR damage control. But in the process, their statements actually serve to confirm Routh's connections to the neo-Nazi outfit.

According to EuroNews:

Meanwhile, a video appeared on social media linking Routh to the Azov Brigade, claiming he participated in a 2022 event to support the unit's Mariupol brigade.

The Azov Brigade said the event was a peaceful demonstration open to all and that Routh was never part of the unit.

"We would like to officially state that Ryan Wesley Routh has no connection to Azov and has never had any connection to Azov," the unit said in a statement on X.

So they are literally doing the "mostly peaceful" line. And the statement from Azov Brigade continues with an attempt to blame all of this on Russia: "We believe that the spread of the narrative about the possible connection between Azov and Ryan Wesley Routh is playing along with Russian propaganda and discredits the 12th Special Forces Brigade Azov of the National Guard of Ukraine and the Security and Defense Forces of Ukraine in general."

And yet, below is an example of something Routh posted to his social media. The GrayZone reported on it before it was deleted by Facebook administrators, presumably amid the FBI/Secret Service investigation: An official Ukrainian military enlistment form Routh posted on his Facebook page, which administrators have deleted.

routhpost.jpg?itok=RinjMNrK

But one thing is still indisputable based on the mounting piles of public evidence. As geopolitical analyst Andrew Korybko points out, "The suspect is a Ukro-maniac who’d been radicalized by the Mainstream Media into traveling to Kiev, trying to join the 'International Legion'..."

Korybko further comments:

There’s no way that the earlier mentioned American “deep state” had no idea who Routh was after he’d already traveled to Kiev to try to join the “International Legion” and then openly told the New York Times about his plans to recruit Afghan soldiers that fled to Pakistan as refugees. He also brazenly boasted about how he’d purchase passports for them from there to facilitate their travel to Ukraine. The FBI might soon “do the meme” and admit that he was “on their radar”, but there’s much more to it.

The Newsweek interview... certainly the mainstream didn't treat him as just some rando who happened to be passing through war-ravaged Ukraine.

Clearly, this doesn't look like a guy who had no connections in Ukraine, or was merely some 'war tourist' on the sidelines as the Ukrainian government and Azov would have us believe. Again the questions remain: what did the US government know about this radicalized individual and when did they know it? Did he have help from US government officials in his Ukraine travels and recruitment campaign? Why wasn't he investigated years ago?

Trump’s Golf Outing Was a Last-Minute Decision, Sources Reveal

Former President Donald Trump’s Sunday golf outing at his Trump International Golf Club was a last-minute decision, sources told CNN.

This unscheduled appearance has ignited speculation and questions regarding a security incident that occurred at the club earlier that day.

Sources revealed that the golf outing was not on Trump’s public schedule, raising concerns about how an individual was seemingly able to time an incident during Trump’s presence at the club.

CNN reported:

Former President Donald Trump’s golf game on Sunday was a last-minute addition to his schedule, two sources familiar with the matter said.

Trump had no public events on his schedule for Sunday.

NEW: President Trump’s golf outing was a “LAST MINUTE decision,” sources tell CNN

This round was NOT on the public schedule, and the public was not informed he’d be there.

So how the HELL did this Ryan Routh clown know where Trump would be and at what time?

This smells… pic.twitter.com/2sHZ4Ngkuz

58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh was identified as the would-be assassin.

Secret Service agents noticed the barrel of an AK-style rifle protruding from the bushes near where Trump was playing golf.

An agent fired at the suspect, who then fled the scene in a black Nissan SUV, leaving behind the rifle, backpacks, a scope, and a GoPro camera.

The suspect ran from the trees but was spotted by a witness who captured a photo of his black Nissan. The witness provided police with photos of the fleeing vehicle and its license plate number.

While authorities have not yet disclosed specific motives, a complicated portrait of Routh is beginning to emerge, revealing a history of support for Ukraine in its conflict with Russia, alongside a lengthy record of criminal and civil court issues.

Routh’s background is marred by significant legal troubles, with over 100 criminal charges filed against him in North Carolina, primarily in Guilford County. These charges include convictions for possessing a machine gun, carrying a concealed weapon, possession of stolen property, hit-and-run offenses, and possessing a weapon of mass destruction.

Wife of Trump-Ukraine Impeachment Conspirator Alexander Vindman Gets Obliterated After Issuing Disgusting Tweet Mocking Second Trump Assassination Attempt

by Cullen Linebarger Sep. 15, 2024 9:40 pm
rachel-vindman.jpg Rachel Vindman, wife of Trump impeachment witness Alexander Vindman, mocks Trump Assassination attempt (Rachel Vindman X avatar)

As The Gateway Pundit reported, a second attempt was made on President Trump’s life, just two months after he came within a centimeter of being killed in Butler, Pennsylvania by a Democrat donor named Thomas Crooks.

Shots were fired at the 45th president’s golf club in West Palm Beach on Sunday afternoon at roughly 1:30 pm as he was playing golf with real estate investor Steve Witkoff. The shooter, later identified as 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh, shoved the muzzle of his rifle through the fence line at the golf course before Secret Service agents opened fire on him.

According to law enforcement, Routh was no more than 500 yards away from Trump and was hiding in shrubbery when he pointed his rifle, reportedly an AK-47, at the former president. He then darted out of the bushes and escaped in a black vehicle, but he was arrested in Martin County.

Despite Trump’s second close call with death, the Trump-hating left is gloating over what happened. One particular social media post from one such demon has generated particular righteous outrage.

Rachel Vindman, the wife of notorious Trump-Ukraine impeachment conspirator Alexander Vindman, took to X immediately following the news and made light of the latest attempt on Trump’s life.

“No ears were harmed,” Vindman mocked. “Carry on with your Sunday afternoon.”

No ears were harmed. Carry on with your Sunday afternoon.

— Rachel Vindman (@natsechobbyist) September 15, 2024

Unsurprisingly, her post generated a massive uproar, with each user obliterating her. Some of the posts were so vicious that they could not be posted uncensored on The Gateway Pundit.

Here are some of the ‘cleaner’ responses, which are still plenty brutal:

Keep posting, you hideous scrote.

You are a NASTY WENCH.

Do the world a favor and delete your account.

— The Patriot Voice (@TPV_John) September 15, 2024

Well, you weren’t blessed with brains, beauty or class. I would be angry too.

— Joy Reid’s Pussycat Wig-(Anne) (@Gussied71) September 15, 2024

Despite the universal condemnation, Vindman doubled down and taunted her critics.

“Sorry you’re triggered,” she wrote, “I mean no I’m not. I don’t care a little bit.”

Sorry you’re triggered.

I mean no I’m not. I don’t care a little bit

— Rachel Vindman (@natsechobbyist) September 15, 2024

If an assassin made an attempt on Kamala Harris’s life and someone on the right cracked a sick joke in response, that person would already be an FBI target and made nationally infamous. But nothing will of course happen to Vindman because her target was Trump.

Governor Ron DeSantis: State of Florida Will Conduct Its Own Investigation into Attempted Assassination of President Trump — Aims to Prevent Federal Cover-up

by Jim Hᴏft Sep. 15, 2024 10:00 pm

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) announced that the state will launch its own investigation into the shocking assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump at his West Palm Beach golf club.

The decision comes after a close call on Sunday, where Secret Service agents thwarted a potential sniper attack targeting Trump as he played a round of golf at the prestigious Trump International Golf Club.

Trump was targeted by a man wielding an AK-47-style rifle, who was spotted by Secret Service agents from a distance of 300 to 500 yards.

Secret Service agent fired at the suspect, causing him to flee, leaving behind the rifle.

Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw stated that the suspect, identified as 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh, was later apprehended on I-95 in Martin County after a witness captured a photo of his vehicle. Law enforcement discovered an AK-47-style rifle, two backpacks, and a GoPro camera stashed in the bushes.

In the hours following the alarming incident, both authorities and the Trump campaign assured the public that the former president was safe and unharmed.

Governor DeSantis, however, was not content to simply accept the federal investigation as sufficient.

Taking to X, he wrote, “The State of Florida will be conducting its own investigation regarding the attempted assassination at Trump International Golf Club. The people deserve the truth about the would-be assassin and how he was able to get within 500 yards of the former president and current GOP nominee.”

The Governor’s announcement follows a public call from ex-Navy SEAL and security expert Erik Prince, who urged DeSantis to demand a co-equal investigation to limit the potential for federal agencies to tamper with critical evidence.

@Paul Rigby: Good news. De Santis is doing what Josh Shapiro failed to do. 

BTW

  Does anyone else find it odd that 58 year old Routh has a big fat digital footprint while 20 year old kid Crooks has not and remained a nonentitity ... with his body secretly cremated, with his doppelganger (Yearick) still missing and his (Crooks) parents and all his relatives silent about him?

Yes, lots of people find it completely preposterous. You're not alone. Those scrubbed CrowdStrike servers in Ukieland look key to hiding the US trace.

The next attempt on Trump? Likely the CIA will give its Ukie assets a rest and put in play its MEK network masquerading as Tehran.

@From the Martenson video:  "Law enforcement and Secret Service (and hopefully DeSantis' men) are now investigating how he (Routh) knew that Trump was playing golf – even though it wasn't on his public schedule... I read somewhere else that playing golf was a last-minute decision..."

Asking Routh this simple question"How do you know that Trump was playing golf, since it was a last minute decicion?" would be a good start for any serious investigation ... 

 

UPDATE 17th Sep, 5h45 CET: Now they say, Routh was in the bushes for 11 hours ... wait a moment: Did Routh expect Trump playing golf at night? LOL

 

I only hope DeSantis will not let Rowe, Garland and Wray stuck their noses into the investigation of this second Trump assassination attempt ...  the Butler investigation is a mess already ... . The JFKA investigation died the moment when the DPD sent all the evidence to Mr J. Edgar ...

WOW: Former assistant FBI Director says Ryan Routh made have had INSIDE INFORMATION on Trump’s private schedule This is a terrifying thought. Especially given Trump’s golf outing was a “last minute decision.” Florida must investigate—not the FBI.

 

Martin County, FL Sheriff Will Snyder just suggested the possibility that Ryan Routh may be part of a greater conspiracy to K*LL President Trump WOW. Sheriff Snyder said “How does a guy from not here get all the way to Trump International, realize that the president, former president of the United States is golfing and is able to get a rifle in that vicinity?” He’s asking the same question the rest of us are! And the FBI CANNOT be trusted to answer it. State and local law enforcement are the only way. DO NOT let them intimidate you, Sheriff Snyder!

The 2nd Trump assassination attempt suspect was all over the FBI’s radar, the media’s radar and the State Department’s radar. He was a Ukraine radical with an extensive rap sheet. How was a roofer from North Carolina travelling to Ukraine, Hawaii, DC and Palm Beach? And how was he so easily able to show up at the right place at the right time?

So why a second attempt on Trump's life now?

Two obvious reasons:

1) Ukraine collapsing militarily:

2) Harris's poll numbers are not as portrayed by the pro-Deep State Dem MSM:

Given both of the above appear to be true, expect more attempts!
