Shots Fired - Ryan Routh

🔥🔥 Like all these cases, the Ryan Routh story is getting more convoluted by the minute. Wait till you get a load of this. Yesterday, outstanding Florida Representative Matt Gaetz (R-Fl.) interviewed Homeland Security Investigations Chief Katrina W. Berger. Some fascinating new information about foiled shooter Ryan Routh emerged.


image 6.png


CLIP: Rep. Matt Gaetz questions HomeSec Investigations Director Berger on Ryan Routh (5:08).

Director Berger first confirmed the fact that last year, Customs and Border Patrol had found Routh suspicious when he re-entered the country, and referred Routh’s file to Homeland Security as a suspect. But then, as always, the trail went cold. In the clip, Representative Gaetz reads from the CBP memo on Routh:

“They (CBP) say in their memo, ‘the suspect is a US citizen who traveled to Kiev, Ukraine, for three months to help recruit soldiers from Afghanistan, Moldova, and Taiwan, to fight in the Ukrainian war against Russia. Subject stated he does not get paid for his recruiting efforts, and all his work for the Ukrainian government is strictly volunteer work. Subject stated that he obtains money from his wife to help fund his trips to Ukraine.’”



What’s that? His wife! We hadn’t heard of this person before. She’s been completely scrubbed from corporate media. How is it that corporate media has failed not only to interview this person but even to mention her?

Pasting lots of pieces together, Routh apparently has recently remarried, to a woman named Kathleen Shaffer. In addition to the CBP report, Shaffer’s name pops up in a few key places. She evidently helped edit Routh’s book, and she ran a small GoFundMe for his Ukrainian adventures. Social media citizen journalists connected Shaffer to the LinkedIn page to a same-named person who fit her profile and lives in Hawaii.

If it’s her, Kathleen works for a giant, international, publicly traded company you never heard of called Maximus.

According to its LinkedIn profile, Maximus Corporation —just wait, you can’t make this stuff up— is headquartered at 1600 Tysons Blvd, McLean, Virginia. Just six miles to the Northwest of Maximus HQ lies Langley, Virginia, where the United States Central Intelligence Agency is located:

It gets even better.

Maximus’s sparse profile on LinkedIn claims the company employs “10,000+”. The company’s website, Maximus.com, describes the company’s services like this:

I defy you to explain exactly what the heck this company does from that description. But I bet it involves tons of money previously owned by taxpayers. Fortunately, Maximus has a YouTube explainer video linked right on its home page. I’ll give you one guess what is most heavily featured in its short promo video. Covid vaccines. I told you that you can’t make this stuff up. And wait till you see what else they say, like about helping relocate ‘desperate asylum seekers’ into the US:

CLIP: Maximus — Performing at the speed of government need (1:37).

In the clip, Maximum brags about training twenty thousand CDC workers, training them about the covid shots within the first 60 days. So it was in the covid shot deal right out of the gate, up to its corporate neck. That’s who trained the CDC. In another, more recent video, Maximus describes helping the Department of Defense “modernize” its technology systems.

ChatGPT said “Maximus Corporation has significant connections to the U.S. security state.”

It is difficult to imagine what unemployed ex-contractor Ryan Routh and Ms. Shaffer might have in common. But love is a mysterious thing. Assuming we have the correct Kathleen Shaffer in Hawaii who funded Ryan Routh’s Ukrainian adventures, it is very weird she works for a murky, security state-connected, multinational corporation located just down the street from the Central Intelligence Agency.


It takes longer to drop the kids off at school than drive from Maximus to CIA HQ. I’m just saying.

But nevermind! It’s probably just a coincidence. Matt Gaetz’s interview of Director Berger ended with his question why, like the FBI before it, Homeland Security also declined to follow up with investigating Ryan Routh. Director Berger didn’t know, but promised to find out.

Ron DeSantis is having problems getting answers, too. I said to my co-worker the other day that THIS TIME the attempt happened in the wrong state, because DeSantis would go after those agencies and get answers...

Welp...they're not cooperating with DeSantis, either.

"No, they're not being cooperative," DeSantis told host Laura Ingraham. "Yes, I am concerned. For example, we were rebuffed, our investigators were rebuffed just going to the fence line outside of Trump International Golf Club."

So if there IS a conspiracy - is it the point to make it a domestic nutcase rather than let the foreign assassin squads get past?

It still kind of unnerves me that two total rank amateurs can pop off shots at Trump while thus far, the half dozen or so assassin teams in country haven't had as much luck. It either points to willful negligence - or some really lousy security. I do however hand it to the guy who noticed a rifle pointing from a few hundred yards off. It sure beats the hell out of the guys in Butler who couldn't be bothered by the crowds SHOUTING he has a gun up there on the roof.

Supposedly it wasn't the rifle barrel that first caught the agent's eye. It was Routh's pink shirt. Agent originally thought it was a homeless person. Then he noticed the rifle barrel.

There are many who believe the CIA was involved in the Kennedy Assassination.
51 of our top intelligence agents signed a lying letter against Donald Trump.
Where are they today? "Still in Intelligence".

The CIA and the FBI need a serious shake up.
The shake up will cause a cataclysmic vomitous action in the unAmerican major media, but if we do not bring back a government that is neutral in it's political stance, the judicial system in this country has gone to sht.

Trump has already stated publicly that he would declassify ALLL of those documents in that attempt

🔥🔥 Routh report. Fox News ran a story yesterday headlined, “Trump assassination attempt suspect Ryan Routh smirks in new Florida mugshot as more life details emerge.” More signs of training? Or practice?

image 5.png

Is it just me, or does Routh have an Epstein-ey look to him? Routh’s arrest paperwork provided a few new details. First, Fox reported Routh marked ‘married’ and listed his wife as his emergency contact. But they still did not name her. Curious.

Next, under ‘religion’, Routh unsurprisingly selected ‘atheist.’

I don’t know if I’d call it smirking, but smiling for a mugshot is a strategy for reducing its usefulness as negative publicity. From his extensive criminal record, Routh has a lot of experience posing for mugshots. He should make a TikTok about it.

A few more details trickled out in a CNN article run late last night headlined, “Feds trying to build an attempted assassination case against man accused in Trump incident.” The federal effort to build an assassination argument is probably a direct response to Governor DeSantis’ correct argument that Florida’s laws are better suited for this case.

According to CNN, federal officials are looking for foreign influence, given all Routh’s overseas travel. So far, CNN said, there is “no evidence” of such a link. How CNN knew that is anyone’s guess.

Unsurprisingly, according to CNN’s sources, Routh is “not cooperating.” But think about that. Not cooperating doesn’t sound very crazy, does it? A crazy ideologue would be talking a blue streak. Not cooperating is smart. It requires discipline, since the feds on scene are probably trying pretty hard to talk him into cooperating.

CNN also went into great detail, including quoting multiple sources, about the feds’ extensive effort to unearth evidence that Ukraine-loving Routh intended to shoot President Trump, as opposed to intending to practice shooting flying golf balls, or intending to inspect the hedges for termites, for example. I’m not kidding:


image 6.png

Curiously, CNN’s article also mentioned nurse Chelsea Walsh, who’d been mysteriously cited as a source in the Wall Street Journal’s article on Tuesday. (Walsh met Routh in Ukraine and thought he was ‘dangerous.’) CNN reported Walsh said she’d called the FBI after seeing Routh in the news on Monday. Thus it seems fair to conclude the FBI connected the Wall Street Journal to the chatty nurse.




🔥🔥 Maybe the most fascinating Routh story yesterday was the article in Fox headlined, “Trump assassination attempt: Suspect Ryan Routh played 'cat and mouse' with police, expert says. They accidentally provided another piece for the bigger Routh puzzle.


image 11.png


Fox’s story recounted Routh’s decades of run-ins with police, his fraudulent check charges, numerous firearms violations, that time he had an armed standoff with police, his traffic tickets like driving without a license, and even a 2002 charge for having an explosive device and fully automatic machine gun that both qualified as weapons of mass destruction under North Carolina law.

But —and this was the key point— despite all that criminal history, including multiple felony convictions, Fox’s story did not mention Routh serving a single day in jail. Nor did it mention any mental health treatment, voluntary or involuntary. The reason Fox’s headline said Routh played “cat and mouse,” was because despite arresting and convicting him any number of times, they never actually got him. Not really.

And … what was he doing with explosives and a fully automatic machine gun in 2002? Apparently, Routh got pulled over for an expired tag, and the cops saw his weapons when Routh grabbed one. Routh fled, and the standoff occurred. Somehow Routh never went to jail for that. The cops never would’ve found the gear absent the expired tag.


But where had Routh been going?

Retired Greensboro Police Department Officer Eric Rasecke, who knew Routh in North Carolina, said Routh believed nobody could touch him:


image 10.png


How did Routh get the idea he was untouchable? Maybe, and I’m only guessing here, maybe the reason Routh felt like he was untouchable is because he was, in fact, untouchable. Untouchable the way an intelligence asset is untouchable. Untouchable the way Jeffrey Epstein was untouchable before and at the time of his first arrest and his sweetheart plea deal.

In other words, Routh’s criminal history is consistent with the theory of Routh as an asset. Just saying.

Tucker goes deep on Trump golf course gunman and his DC connections







Insisting that the media is “not telling you the facts,” Tucker said, “Reality is completely distorted and the average person has not only no idea, but no way of knowing what the truth is.”

“So, the guy who is now in custody for attempted murder against the Republican nominee, the former U.S. president, Donald Trump, that guy has been interviewed countless times by every big media outlet in the United States,” he said. “He’s got a criminal record the length of your arm, 20 charges including possession of weapons of mass destruction.”

“The New York Times didn’t bother to learn any of that before they held him up as a freedom fighter in Ukraine where he was living,” Carlson continued. “And then the piece describes the contact he’s had with members of Congress and their staffs and other U.S. government agencies. And you’re like, wait a second. That’s the same guy who brought a rifle with a scope to a golf course in South Florida to murder Donald Trump. And he’s had all these contacts with U.S. government agencies?”

Stressing that it’s time to find out what’s going on here, Carlson predicted that “no one’s gonna find out.” He also predicted that the story is “just gonna be memory-holed in a week.”

The one chance of the truth coming out is that the state of Florida is conducting its own investigation, but Gov. Ron DeSantis has already stated that federal investigators are “not being cooperative.”

🔥🔥 NPR joined reporting on Trump shooter Ryan Routh’s bizarre backstory this morning in an article headlined, “In his hometown, Trump's alleged would-be assassin acted like he was 'above the law’.” It was a strange story for a several reasons.

image 9.png


I’ve been holding off calling this out, since everybody makes mistakes, especially me, but I can’t just stand it anymore. Since early summer, I’ve been seeing a disquieting trend of basic grammar and spelling mistakes creeping into top-tier corporate media stories. For example, in NPR’s caption above, NPR reported that police “managed to diffuse” an armed standoff with Routh (that never resulted in jail time, for some unexplained reason. You try that.).

Anyway. The point is, it’s not “managed to diffuse.” That’s just wrong. “Diffuse” means spread over a wide area. They meant defuse. “Defuse” means to neutralize or resolve a tense situation. Police defused the standoff.

Hopefully, this unsettling trend is merely a DEI phenomenon and not an artifact of declining cognitive ability due to some unidentified environmental factor. An environmental factor like the covid jabs. Just saying.

NPR’s article was equally remarkable. Routh’s crimes were well-known, well-documented, and never went anywhere, rightfully convincing the failed construction worker he was ‘above the law.’ An inquisitive reporter would have tripped over Routh’s extensive civil and criminal history in public records. Which raises the question of how, when corporate media was constantly quoting Routh in 2022, they somehow managed not to discover his extensive history?

Were reporters simply uncurious? Or did someone vouch for Routh?

Didn't anyone with brain cells already know this? There are actually a few Congresscritters trying to get to the bottom of this but the media - including Fox - is burying it.

It can't be a coincidence that Tucker Carlson was the only person on Fox who discussed this sort of thing...and they fired him.

Routh will soon be meeting Epstein. Anyone want to start a pool how long he remains breathing in federal custody?

He and Diddy are in a race against time....
So what are the chances that all the "participants" on all the videos that were confiscated will be visited by any federal agency?

(Never mind, I'm guessing the same amount that were list in Epstein's little black book)

Imagine wanting someone to run the country that didn’t even know her boss had dementia.

Donald Trump Jr. Unleashes on DOJ for Putting His Father’s Life ‘Even More At Risk’ with ‘Reckless’ Ryan Routh Move


by Bryan Chai, The Western Journal Sep. 23, 2024 8:20 pm181 Comments


On Sept. 15, Routh was apprehended after he was spotted laying in wait in golf course shrubbery for former President Donald Trump.

When fired upon, Routh fled the scene before local law enforcement ultimately took him into custody.
Routh faces a potential 20 years in prison on gun charges alone.

Given Routh’s well-documented, anti-Trump sentiments, most people could probably assume why the clearly disturbed man was trying to kill the former president.

And that’s probably where it should’ve been left: as assumptions.

But no, Biden’s DOJ apparently decided that it was actually a good idea to publish what amounts to a bounty letter from Routh.

After apologizing for failing in his endeavor, unsealed documents revealed that Routh’s letter also included a curious tidbit about offering $150,000 for anyone who was successful in assassinating Trump.
