The shot heard (and seen) around the world during the presidential rally in Butler, Pennsylvania yesterday continues to yield more questions than answers as time goes on.

In an attempt to assassinate former president Donald J. Trump at a rally on Saturday, July 13th, Thomas Matthew Crooks has now been identified by the FBI as the alleged shooter. Perched high on the roof of a manufacturing plant, Crooks fired at Trump from roughly 130 yards away, clipping his ear as Trump dropped to the ground. Eight rounds were fired in total, killing one man who shielded his family, and critically injuring two others before Secret Service snipers shot Crooks dead.

But here’s where it gets strange…

A man along with other rally attendees noticed the shooter with his rifle crawling along the roof of the building, which had a ladder located on the backside.

“We noticed a guy crawling, ya know, bear crawling, up the roof of the building beside us, 50 feet away from us,” the man told BBC. “The police are down there running around on the ground, we’re like hey man there’s a guy on the roof with a rifle.”

How is it that civilians were able to see the shooter before law enforcement? This also conflicts with a report from ABC News that a law enforcement officer actually followed the shooter up the ladder, before the gunman pointed his weapon at the officer and then proceeded to start shooting at Trump.

Other reports have come in alleging that the Secret Service snipers did indeed have eyes on the shooter for 3-4 minutes prior to the attempted assassination, and were even told not to shoot the gunman.

Perhaps the most shocking part was the lack of perimeter around the obvious potential threat the manufacturing building presented.

Additionally, footage shows the Secret Service moving civilians back and away just moments before the shots are fired.

If that isn’t enough, a video has surfaced of a prophet predicting the assassination attempt, down to him being hit in the ear and surviving.

More details continue to come out, including a commercial paid for by BlackRock which shows Thomas Matthew Crooks in a classroom next to a student wearing an Antifa shirt. Crooks is listed as a Republican, yet donated to a Democratic organization just recently.

Since the shooting, officials have now found explosives in Crooks’ car, along with bomb making materials at his home in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania.

Was this staged? Was it an inside job? Was this the result of MK Ultra? Perhaps only time will tell.
