LOL! The internet autists already smoking out the Routh Intel connections? Handler used social media to communicate? Wow. Johns Hopkins became psyops U? Desperation for funding?
For absolutely no reason at all, here's Kamala joking about killing Trump on "Ellen"
Phone records show suspect in apparent attempted assassination was near golf course for 12 hours
Man accused of trying to kill Trump wrote a book urging Iran to assassinate the ex-president
Ryan Routh, who portrayed himself online as a man involved in various causes including building housing for homeless people in Hawaii and recruiting fighters for Ukraine, was arrested for allegedly stalking and attempting to assassinate Donald Trump in Florida.
Alleged first follow of Routh on Twitter.
Alleged first follow of Routh on Twitter.
Routh knew how to perp surrender himself without getting shot by disabling his arms upward with his shirt to eliminate all suggestion of threat. Guess that Intel training came in handy.
Failed assassin Ryan Routh was in federal court yesterday, in a hearing quite logically called the “first appearance.” Fox covered the story under the headline, “Trump assassination attempt suspect laughs, smiles during first court appearance in Florida.” Routh was apparently cracking jokes with his public defender, which sounds annoying but could just be his way of managing anxiety.
Details were sparsely provided, but this most interesting paragraph leaped out:
The judge also asked Routh if he was able to afford his own defense attorney or if he
needed a public defender. Routh said he does not have enough income, and when asked
by the judge, said he makes about $3,000 a month, has zero savings and owns zero real
estate. Routh also told the court he has two trucks in Hawaii worth about $1,000 each,
partially supports his 25-year-old son and does not own any jewelry.
Right away, we see some problems. For Portlanders, Routh claimed an annual income of $36,000 — far below the poverty level. Which means there is a lot of mysterious money floating around world-traveling Mr. Routh.
Here are only a few of the many possible questions: how did Routh afford international travel to and from Ukraine? Or to buy guns, body armor, and GoPro cameras? Who owns the Nissan truck he tried to escape in? Did he rent it? If so, with what money and what credit? How did Routh get to Florida? Where was he staying? How was he paying for stuff? Cash? Credit?
How did flat-broke Routh get in front of nearly every corporate media camera and reporter in 2022, from Newsweek to the New York Times?
Routh has an extensive low-level criminal record going back decades, including felony weapons violations. How did he buy the gun he brought to Trump’s golf course? According to the FBI’s criminal affidavit, it was a military SKS-style assault rifle made in former Soviet bloc countries, so it wasn’t from around here. The rifle’s serial number was "obliterated" and unreadable to the naked eye.
Why obliterate the serial number? Who is Routh trying to protect? Who gave him that gun?
We’re not the only ones asking questions. Martin County Sheriff Will Snyder, whose officers arrested Routh, gave a courageous —even reckless— press conference yesterday during which he said the quiet part out loud.
At yesterday’s Martin County press conference about the arrest, Sheriff Snyder wondered whether Routh could be part of a conspiracy:
“He was smart, he was just driving with the flow of traffic. He may have thought he got away with it. He couldn’t have known a witness took a picture.
He’s not from this area. Which raises the bigger question, how does a guy get all the way to Trump International, realize the former President is golfing, and is able to get a rifle into that vicinity?
Is this guy part of a conspiracy? Or a lone gunman? If he’s part of a conspiracy, then this whole thing takes on a really ominous tone.”
It’s a literal conspiracy theory! And Sheriff Snyder’s question was a good one. But, to expand on his theory: was Routh connected in any way to any U.S. security state agency or NGO? To any Ukrainian security or intelligence agency?
Where has that skinny hedge-hider been hanging out recently? And with whom?
So that’s what we know so far on Day Two. From the evolving media coverage, even on Fox, Routh is beginning to be painted like some kind of deranged lunatic. But that is a straw man. Do not buy that story. While there is plenty of evidence he was an amoral leftist, easily influenced, effortlessly manipulable, even criminally inclined, there is zero evidence Routh was clinically crazy.
In fact, it’s just the opposite. Routh appears to have seamlessly navigated complex and difficult life situations —like traveling to and from a war zone, and self-publishing his dumb book on Amazon— that would flummox most of us. He was also vetted by any number of media platforms that found him credible enough to feature in their pro-Ukraine propaganda stories.
In the photo above, failed assassin Routh is pictured with celebrity chef and Nobel Peace Prize nominee Jose Andres. The background of the picture is unclear. But Andres is well-known for leading a team of other celebrity chefs into Gaza to deliver canapes and snail puree to war-torn Palestinians. And he is also well-known for hanging out with Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Ukraine’s former comedian Zelensky.
For instance, consider this NBC headline, from April this year:
Biden calls chef José Andrés after Israeli strike kills World Central Kitchen aid workers
National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said the "incident is emblematic of a larger
problem and evidence of why distribution of aid in Gaza has been so challenging."
... What were Nobel-nominee Jose Andres and flat-broke Ryan Routh doing together before and after that widely circulated photo was taken in Kiev, Ukraine? Were they just fellow Proxy War proponents? Did they just attend a proxy war rally together?
Why in the photo was Andres pointing at Routh? Bonhomie? Overcome with camaraderie?
We don’t know. But we do know at least one thing: human hedgehog and media darling Routh enjoys just one thin degree of separation from Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Volodymyr Zelensky. Weird.
