The deep state bet the farm on taking Trump out, now what? by Finian Cunningham

Getting rid of Donald Trump using a set-up lone assassin on July 13 would have tipped the presidential race in favor of Joe Biden. But it did not work out.

It has gone horribly wrong for the deep state. Getting rid of Donald Trump using a set-up lone assassin on July 13 would have tipped the presidential race in favor of Joe Biden.

But it did not work out. And from the deep states point of view, it could not get much worse. Donald Trump escaped with a grazed ear and an iconic photo opportunity as a United States of American hero propelling him to take back the White House. The G-force lift in political momentum has finally compelled Biden to throw in the towel whose frailty is no match for the energized Donald Trump campaign.

Key players in the United States establishment - the imperial deep state _ took a bet out of necessity. Donald Trump is not their kind of guy. He has been talking too much about ending a lucrative war racket in Ukraine against Russia. But there is too much-vested interest in keeping that proxy war going. It is not just about profits for the military-industrial complex and Wall Street. It is also about geopolitically confronting Russia to preserve United States hegemony.

Donald Trumps avowed opposition to the racket and his pledge to end the conflict immediately if he is elected in November put him in the crosshairs.

There has a close similarity to the case of John F Kennedy. JFK was against ramping up the proxy war against the Soviet Union in Vietnam and more generally he wanted to scale back the Cold War. His opposition to the huge vested interests of the deep state led to the "executive action" in Dallas on November 22, 1963.

James Douglass book, JFK and the Unspeakable, is probably the best account of what was a heinous murder by the United States state and a coup d etat against an elected president, which once understood changes the view of United States of American politics forever.

As in the Donald Trump assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, there was the apparent circumstance of a lone shooter in Dallas. Unlike Thomas Matthew Crooks who fired several shots at Donald Trump, 24-year-old Lee Harvey Oswald was not the one who fired at JFK as he rode along in the open-top car in Dealey Plaza. Oswald was just a patsy who was set up by the deep state to cover up for the real killers - several sniper teams deployed that day by the deep state.

In the case of 20-year-old Crooks, he was also a patsy but the difference is that he was permitted to get into a high-security and get off a few shots before he was eliminated.

Like the conveniently gunned-down Oswald, dead men do not talk. So we may never know to what extent Crooks had assistance that day in Butler to somehow evade police officers and secret services to climb onto a rooftop for a clear shot at Donald Trump.

As with JFK, the cover-up has begun. Amid furious criticism of failure, the Department of Homeland Security and FBI are investigating the events leading up to the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. How can organizations that are implicated in complicity be expected to properly investigate themselves? They can not - and will not, by definition.

Following Kennedys killing, the Warren Commission investigated the Dallas events. The commission was headed up by Allen Dulles who was formerly the CIA director, the very agency that was implicated in JFKs assassination.

Predictably, the Warren Commission produced a whitewash report that attributed the assassination to Lee Harvey Oswald acting as a lone gunman. That the United States media indulged in this farcical cover-up for 60 years shows the depth of brainwashing propaganda and the travesty of so-called "independent journalism".

On Donald Trump, however, the deep state people have got sloppy. Instead of using professional covert shooters to take a sequence of shots, they used a kid to do the firing who by all accounts was not a hot shot and his AR-style rifle was the best weapon for the job.

Now the deep state has a magnified problem. Donald Trumps narrow escape has elevated him to icon status with a bloodied face and defiant fist in the air.

The public anger from merely suspecting the deep state in a dastardly foul move has given his presidential campaign an unprecedented boost. Even among neutral voters, the contempt for the United States establishment could play in Donald Trumps favor.

Against Donald Trumps energized campaign, Biden had to stand down. His dementia exposed in the June 27 TV debate was already causing panic among Democrat party officials and donors. But up against a heroic assassination survivor, Biden had no chance.

At this late stage, it is doubtful that the Democrats will find a viable candidate against Trump. Biden has endorsed his vice president Kamala Harris but her lackluster profile is hardly a winning ticket. The Democratic National Convention is not until August 19 when a candidate will be officially nominated. That will be only about two months until election day on November 7.

The Democrats have become the vehicle of choice for the deep state in pursuing United States wars and imperial power projection.

Donald Trump is too much of a maverick for the imperial agenda. His vice presidential running mate, Senator JD Vance, has also voiced strong opposition to the proxy war in Ukraine. The Republican ticket says it will force the Kiev regime to start negotiations with Russia on finding a peace settlement to the two-and-a-half-year war. Vance has proposed that Ukraine accept Russias demand to never join the NATO alliance.

The United States election is turning into an acute dilemma for the deep state. It bet the farm on taking out Donald Trump, only to end up propelling him to the White House. The lucrative war racket in Ukraine and the geopolitical showdown against Russia are now in jeopardy.

No doubt, the United States is heading into an unparalleled crisis not seen since the Civil War.
