Second Trump assassination attempt was recrimination from deep state actors who can’t handle Russia’s victory



This second assassination attempt against Trump that we saw a few days ago revealed the sense of desperation shared by certain elements of the U.S. permanent security state. Since this latest assassination plot was haphazard much like the last, and the CIA has numerous ways to take someone’s life, I don’t believe this attitude is the prevailing one within the intelligence apparatus. There are different wings of the deep state, and these schemes to kill Trump are coming from forces which likely lie lower within the hierarchy. Within the elements that are more inclined to genuinely believe their own propaganda, and therefore act as if Washington will beat Russia if only it continues to have the right leadership.

The recent gunman’s telltale signs of CIA ties show that these forces don’t just exist within the FBI, which had fingerprints on the assassination attempt from July. And whatever higher authorities may have set the shooter on this mission, their motive was to try to find an answer to Washington’s strategic defeat by Russia. This is clear from how the shooter was a fanatical pro-Ukraine liberal who appears to have come from the Ukrainian global combat pipeline, with him having gone to Ukraine to recruit U.S. fighters.


Does the CIA connection to this story prove that the “we must eliminate Trump” opinion has been getting more popular among our unelected officials? It’s possible, because the more an empire falters, the more its leaders tend to look for quick solutions. The more they seek to recriminate against other parts of the elite, which is what we’re seeing here. The desire within the deep state to pick off Trump comes firstly from a lack of trust in the system’s ability to rig the election for Harris; and secondly from a fear that Trump will listen to the people in his circle who want negotiations with Russia. The ones who orchestrated this latest shooting are the types of new cold warriors that see Trump building ties with RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard, and think these figures could realistically pull Trump away from the neocon foreign policy model. Which shows a lack of faith in the deep state’s capacity to influence presidents. 


They see these variables, and they fear their side is losing control. And they’re right to have this fear, but not for the reasons they think. The threat towards the new cold war’s success doesn’t come from RFK, it comes from the new cold war’s inherently futile nature.


Within the worldview of the “Ukrainiacs,” the true believers of the Ukraine psyop, there’s no way that NATO could be losing to Russia on its own merits. Russia’s continued ability to frustrate Ukrainian military plans, and the wider rise of BRICS, must be because Washington’s potential to fight is being held back by internal saboteurs. The Ukrainiacs won’t admit that Russia is winning, but they can’t ignore the reality that’s right in front of them, so they operate with the belief that Ukraine will surely win as long as the threatening variables are eliminated. If we just get rid of Trump, or social media “misinformation,” or whatever other things may challenge the war effort, then Russia will be crushed. They say they’re still confident in Ukraine’s victory because they need to say that, but this is not how somebody acts when they’re sure their side will prevail. Someone who’s on the path to victory doesn’t go around looking for people they can preemptively blame in case they lose, and try to assassinate these scapegoats.


Amid this contagious anxiety and paranoia within the imperial command structure, the higher-level officials are also feeling the stress. They see that Russia has indeed won, and that its military victories over Ukraine aren’t even the main reason why it’s won; the main reason is the rise of BRICS that the special operation has brought about. This development on the geopolitical chessboard, which is what Washington’s strategists primarily pay attention to, represents a crucial step in the collapse of U.S. financial hegemony. And that’s the deeper reason for the alarm of the Ukrainiacs, even though they don’t know it. 


Because they’re obsessed with militarily defeating Russia, all they focus on is the armed combat element within this war. So now that Ukraine’s latest big military adventure in Kursk has backfired, they’re displaying worry, and hoping that installing Kamala Harris will make Ukraine win. But Ukraine never had real hope of winning, because it’s on the wrong side of a much bigger historical conflict; a conflict between the dying unipolar order, and the new order that was inevitably going to replace it. We’re now seeing the different elements of the deep state and the political establishment react to this defeat for imperial power.


Some of them have decided the solution is to get rid of Trump. Others, like Keir Starmer, have adopted the attitude that Russia must not be bluffing on its red lines, which means NATO can supposedly advance its war plans without any risks. The highest-level unelected officials are seeking to instigate political unrest during or after the 2024 election, aiming to create justification for crackdowns while distracting from their next warfare maneuvers. The common trend is a desire to sacrifice the stability of the empire’s core. Assassinating the leader of the MAGA movement would provoke the right-wing militias, leading to civil conflict. And though the higher intelligence authorities don’t necessarily want to kill Trump, they’re also working to bring about such extreme polarization and chaos. 


The biggest danger is if the Keir Starmer types get their wish, because they’re the ones who are most willing to risk a nuclear holocaust. The radioactive, depopulated, and orderless future that they’re bringing us towards would be the logical extreme of the elite’s anti-human worldview. They’re the most threatening kinds of Ukrainiacs, because they give the “we can beat Russia” delusion an existentially threatening amount of power.


Preventing this delusion from bringing us into World War III is the single most urgent task that humanity has at this moment. The anti-imperialist camp is on the path to victory. But the imperialist beast continues to hold the means for destroying civilization, and for exterminating a large percentage of the species. It’s also already carrying out an extermination of the Palestinians, whose liberation is inevitable but who are experiencing a genocide in the meantime. Our enemies are scrambling, and are increasingly divided over what to do; we need to take advantage of these growing conflicts within the power structure. We need to build a mass movement against imperialism, one which is equipped to survive the next crackdowns. Then it will be possible to outmaneuver the monopoly capitalists, and overthrow the imperial state.
