Tinfoil hat time. By no means am I going to convince anyone with this short article that Ryan Wesley Routh (or Thomas Michael Crooks, for that matter) is an asset for the Deep State. That is not the intention because to “prove” it would be as impossible as “proving” anything the Deep State does.
All I want is for our readers to ask questions. And for this particular exercise we won’t look into all of the curious circumstances surrounding Crooks, the first would-be Trump assassin; perhaps some other day we’ll do that.
Routh’s attempted assassination of Trump will be downplayed by the vast majority on both sides of the political aisle as a crazy lone wolf. That narrative fits when we consider how crazy the dude appears to be. But EVERY Deep State asset since Lee Harvey Oswald has fit the mold of being a lone wolf crazy dude. That’s their modus operandi.
Here are five reasons I believe it’s likely that Routh is a Deep State asset…
Evidence of Contact With Government and Deep State
Like Crooks, Routh appears to have had contact with members of the intelligence community and possibly even members of the federal government. According to Mindy Robinson:
In case you were wondering….
The guy who tried to assassinate Trump today…Ryan Routh made several posts suggesting that he was working with or for the DOD and the US Embassy in regards to Ukraine. 🤔
Because of course.

Routh even appeared in Deep State Ukrainian propaganda:
🚨BREAKING: Ryan Routh was featured in an AZOV propaganda video in 2022. For those unaware, AZOV is a violent, far-right Ukrainian militia with neo-Nazi origins, notorious for its anti-Russian extremism—and supported by the CIA. Yet the media stays silent. pic.twitter.com/kfHvo6vZWx

Corporate Media “Tested” Him
He was also a subject for multiple corporate media outlets. For those who don’t know, the Deep State likes to test an asset’s ability to maintain their lies and/or programming by putting them on camera. Oftentimes they are tested as crisis actors before being deployed for bigger assignments.
According to Collin Rugg:
NEW: Suspected would-be Trump assas*in was previously interviewed by Newsweek Romania, started crying during the interview as he begged people to “come fight.”
Ryan Routh was arrested after an assas*ination attempt on Donald Trump.
In the video, Routh explained that he initially went to Ukraine to “fight” to support the Ukrainians.
Once he got to Kyiv, he said that he helped recruit people to get involved in the war.
“We need everyone here fighting… that’s why I’m in Kyiv so every project that I promote is about getting people here to support the Ukrainians.”
“When you talk to a 20-year-old guy that sold everything he owns to come here fight, that is heroism.”
“You know he’s coming here to risk his life for humanity for the Ukrainians.”

As Sean Davis highlighted, it’s important that all of his media contacts are investigated…

The “Oswald Vibe” of a Patsy
Exiled Deep State whistleblower Edward Snowden noticed something about Routh:
We know little so far, but w alleged Trump shooter’s personal and public participation in military activity in Ukraine, it is hard to imagine this White House’s agencies can claim zero contact—”clean hands.” Something of an Oswald vibe, here. Congress should get answers.
All the usual breaking news caveats apply here. Nobody knows what the facts are yet, which is precisely why the public needs rapid, reliable, and non-evasive answers from the agencies you pay to provide them.
I’m not saying this guy was some pro on somebody’s payroll, obviously—in my opinion, the guy just looks deranged. But that doesn’t mean the government didn’t have a hand in encouraging his past militancy, as we once did with Bin Laden. We had a word for it at the CIA: blowback.

The most important attribute of any Deep State asset on a high-value mission is the cover-up. Someone could be properly skilled and fully controlled by the Deep State, enough to make them perfect for a mission, but if there’s even the slightest chance they could be traced back to the puppet masters then they will not be used.
The best we’ve been able to connect both Crooks and Routh to the Deep State is through degrees of separation. Therefore, there can be no direct connection made. A weak assassin with no direct connections is better for the Deep State than a skilled assassin with direct ties.
Known Deep Staters Saying Outrageous Things to Distract Us
For every social media post questioning the official narrative about Routh, there are ten more posts focusing on the hideous responses from known Deep Staters like Alexander Vindman and David Frum.
The attack failed. Questions are being asked. The Deep State knows the easiest way to point the conversation away from them is to get others to be bombastic and unhinged. Conservative and alternative media are particularly targeted because we generally love highlighting how insane our political opponents are.
They even pulled in Vindman’s wife…
No ears were harmed. Carry on with your Sunday afternoon.

I condemn you. I condemn your lack of integrity, your attacks on immigrants, your desecration of Arlington National Cemetery. Your candidate @realDonaldTrump has incited political violence for a decade. He could reduce the temperature of this election cycle. But you MAGA thrive… https://t.co/iWV17KmPqE

Trump has been inciting violence against his enemies for years. He douses a situation in gasoline, lights a match, & walks away claiming no responsibility.
Look at what is happening in Springfield, OH right now but he wants to claim he's a victim. You cannot have it both ways.
— Rachel Vindman 🇺🇸🦅🌻 (@natsechobbyist) September 15, 2024
Frum and others in corporate media were sent in to blame Trump himself, which is a surefire way to draw conservative and alternative media to focus on the “assassination apologists” instead of the would-be assassin or the Deep State…
Shortly after a leftist freak tried to assassinate my dad, @davidfrum of @TheAtlantic tweeted the below.

Timed to Bury a Bombshell
Of all of the theories surrounding the assassination attempt, this is by far the weakest but that doesn’t mean it’s not true. Within a couple of hours after a bombshell affidavit from an ABC News whistleblower drops that implicates the Harris campaign in debate cheating, the story was memory-holed by the assassination attempt.
The Harris campaign demanded fact-checks of Trump while negotiating for ABC News to not fact-check Harris. That alone is disqualifying for both the campaign to continue and for the network to participate in future debates, but it gets worse. They also colluded on which questions were not allowed to be asked. And the network sent the Harris campaign “sample questions” to help her have her talking points memorized. They did not do this for the Trump campaign.
This is blockbuster news and nobody’s talking about it now. Nobody will be talking about it the rest of the week. No meaningful coverage will occur. It’s been disappeared faster than a Clinton witness with zero repercussions for the campaign or the network.
Question Everything
Sometimes I feel it’s an exercise in futility to highlight these things. I have no expectation that anything official will come from it. Routh will be given the Insane-But-Justified-Lone-Wolf label by corporate media. Democrats and Republicans will debate blame. American citizens will reinforce their biases with very few changing their opinions about the election.
But every time I think it’s best to just let it go and focus on more productive commentary, I remind myself that even if only a handful of people are prompted to ask tough questions without expectations of truthful answers, it’s worthwhile.
The moral of the story is that however desperate you believe the UniParty Swamp, the Deep State, and the Globalist Elite Cabal are in their quest to prevent a second Trump term, it’s likely far worse than what you think. They see him as an existential threat who has a chance, albeit slight, of taking down their house of cards.
In other words, there is no boundary they won’t cross. We need to stay frosty. President Trump needs to be protected. The best thing we can do is pray our gratitude to God for protecting Trump today and our hope that He will continue to protect him going forward.
Two Storms, One Harvest
Every food crisis in living memory has been a one-shock event. The 2008 price spike was a commodity bubble. The 2020 shortages were a logistics failure. The 2022 grain scare was a war on one exporter’s ports. Each time, the system bent, adjusted, and recovered, and each time the experts assured us afterward that global markets are simply too big and too diversified to fail.
What nobody in Washington seems eager to discuss is that 2026 is shaping up to be something the modern food system has never actually faced. Two independent shocks, one climatic and one geopolitical, are converging on the same harvest cycle at the same time. Not sequentially. Simultaneously.
Start with the weather. The Pacific Ocean is currently building toward what forecasters now openly call a record event. NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center puts the odds of at least a strong El Niño near 88 percent, with roughly two in three odds it reaches “very strong” status, the tier reserved for perhaps three or four events in the entire satellite era. Every major global model now projects a median peak in Super El Niño territory, and most of them project it exceeding the 2015-16 event, which until now held the modern record. Sea surface anomalies were already brushing the super threshold in mid-July, months before these events normally peak. The atmosphere has already shifted into El Niño mode, and the event is forecast to crest in late fall and early winter.
This is not about “climate change.” It’s about the standard cycles of weather, and the cycle we’re currently in is one that has likely devastated societies in the past. We’re better prepared as a society today, but not all Americans are equally prepared.
Serious households have started doing the quiet math on their own. Grocery bills tell part of the story, and the forecast maps tell the rest, which is why long-term food storage has moved from fringe hobby to mainstream line item in the family budget, with established suppliers like Heaven’s Harvest seeing demand from people who five years ago would have rolled their eyes at the idea. That instinct is not paranoia. It is pattern recognition, and the pattern is worth walking through carefully.
Editor’s Note: Heaven’s Harvest IS a sponsor, but the warnings of this article are real and would be written even if we didn’t have a survival food sponsor. With that said, those who take advantage of what they offer can use promo code “Patriot” for 15% off.
The Fertilizer Clock Is Already Running
While the Pacific warms, the second shock has been unfolding in the Strait of Hormuz. The conflict with Iran turned the world’s most important energy chokepoint into a contested waterway, and the consequences reach far beyond the gas pump. Roughly a third of global fertilizer trade moves through Hormuz, and the disruption sent urea prices up 86 percent year over year by March, with a 53 percent jump in a single month.
The World Bank projects energy prices rising about 24 percent in 2026 and fertilizer about 31 percent. By its own accounting, fertilizer prices ran 35 percent higher in the first five months of this year than the same period last year.
Here is the mechanism the nightly news will not explain. Fertilizer is not a grocery item. It is a time-delayed input. The nitrogen a farmer in Iowa or Punjab could not afford to apply this spring does not show up as a problem this spring. It shows up as a thinner harvest six to twelve months later.
The World Bank’s own food security brief concedes that the effects of reduced applications earlier this season “are likely to become visible only later in harvest outcomes.” Translate that from institutional language into plain English and it means this. The damage is already done, it is already in the ground, and we are simply waiting for it to arrive on the shelf.
Now check the calendar. Six to twelve months from the spring planting season lands us squarely in late 2026 and early 2027. Which is precisely when the strongest El Niño in the instrumental record is forecast to peak, bringing its signature droughts to Southeast Asia, Australia, southern Africa, northern Brazil, and South Asia, the very regions that grow the world’s rice, sugar, and oilseeds.
The World Bank warns openly that a strong El Niño “could disrupt multiple crop belts simultaneously” on top of the conflict-driven input costs. Their baseline projection assumes the Middle East disruptions ease by autumn. What in the last two years of Middle East history suggests that assumption is safe?
The System Has No Slack Left
The comfortable answer is that global markets always adjust. But adjustment requires slack, and the slack is gone. Global cereal production is expected to decline from last year’s records even before El Niño does its work. The UN World Food Programme, hardly a den of right-wing preppers, is calling this the most significant disruption to its supply chains since Covid and the invasion of Ukraine, and its supply chain director put the stakes bluntly.
Today’s supply chain challenges are tomorrow’s hunger crisis.
There is also a political dimension that markets cannot price. When food gets scarce, governments do not behave like economists. They behave like politicians. Export bans, hoarding mandates, and panic buying at the national level turned the modest rice shortfall of 2008 into a global crisis, and analysts are already warning that import-dependent nations are the first dominoes.
The 2015-16 Super El Niño, a far weaker event than what is now forecast, threw tens of millions into food stress across Africa and Asia. This one is projected to be stronger, and it arrives with fertilizer already rationed by price and shipping lanes already contested by missiles.
What Joseph Knew
Scripture does not treat preparation for lean years as faithlessness. It treats it as wisdom delivered in advance to those willing to act on it.
Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt: And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt.
Joseph did not respond to that warning with a hashtag or a committee. He stored grain during the years of abundance, and when the famine came, Egypt stood while its neighbors begged. The lesson is not that famine is certain. It is that the time to prepare is precisely when preparation still looks optional.
Nobody who filled a pantry in a year of plenty has ever regretted it, and nobody standing in an empty aisle has ever been glad he waited for certainty.
None of this calls for panic, and panic is the enemy of sound judgment anyway. It calls for the same unglamorous prudence our grandparents considered ordinary. Keep some cash margin, know your local growers, and put real food in deep storage while it is cheap and available, because the entire arc of this story is that cheap and available is a closing window.
Families looking for a straightforward place to start can visit Heaven’s Harvest and use promo code Patriot for 15 percent off long-term storable food. The forecasts may yet soften, the strait may yet reopen, and we should pray they do. But hope is a fine thing to hold and a foolish thing to eat.
Crazoid was in Taiwan, trying to get them to accept thousands of Afghan soldiers from the PHANTOM ARMY OF AFGHANISTAN, that was nowhere to be found when the Taliban rolled into Kabul in under three days, taking it over?!?!?!
Routh is a dangerous, insane asset!!!

(Note it was John McCain’s TREASONOUS daddy ordering the Navy sailors to keep quiet … OR ELSE!!!)
Right, that’s the only thing that makes me think he might not be an asset of any intel agencies. Afgans wouldn’t even fight to defend Afghanistan. They’re sure as h**l not going to fight to defend Tiawan and Ukraine. And as stupid and corrupt as our three-letter agencies are (and five eyes), they’re not that stupid …
Then again, with the mess they’ve made, near about starting WWIII at this point, desperate people do stupid things …
It smells. Don’t know what it smells like exactly. But it smells bad nonetheless …
Maggot Rachel Vindman makes light of J13 when Mr. Compatore was murdered and others seriously wounded. while over the past FIVE YEARS, 100,000 citizens have been killed by ILLEGAL INVADERS —a young family of four was just slaughtered recently in upper state New York by illegals, young parents and their 4–year–old and 2–year–old children!
From 2010 to 2015, “officially” 33,000 citizens killed by ILLEGALS, before the borders completely opened under meat puppet Biden!
How many BEHEADINGS (by cartels) have there been in the border state of New Mexico since 2021???
Routh is such an obvious simpleton wackadoodle —- will be difficult to prove he’s a DoD asset, although he follows the standard pattern!?
Well, look at it objectively. Here’s a guy going around the world saying he is working with the blessing of the US government recruiting solders to fight in Ukraine and Taiwan. It’s guaranteed the CIA knew about it. And they did nothing to stop it, when what he was doing would be highly illegal if he indeed did not have the blessing of the US government. So at minimum the intel apparatus approved of what he was doing enough to allow him to keep doing it. At minimum. It’s more likely, he is an asset, if not of US intel, of five eyes. Otherwise, who’s bankrolling all that travel and all that time off work? A regular old working man can’t afford to do that sort of stuff. A roofer, and apparently now building little camp shacks. We’ve all seen the picture of his house and truck, with the biden/harris sticker on it. Does that look like the home and vehicle of a man who can afford to take months off work and go traveling around the world, funding it all himself? Sure doesn’t to me.
He’s apparently been out there recruiting men to fight in Taiwan, in a war that hasn’t even begun, and we hope never does …
While wearing the American flag, and claiming he’s working with the blessing of the US Government …
Why would the CIA not shut that down?
Why else but that he’s an asset …
Follow the money.
If you read the Count of Montecristo, the novel by Alexander Dumas during the 19th Century, and yes, it is a work of fiction, however there are some points even in fiction that carry over into the factual world — you may recall the episode or the segment of the novel in which Edmond Dantes was an inmate in the Château d’If, located in an island fortress off Marseille, France and was being trained by Father Faria in how to think accurately.
During a pivotal talk, the clergyman rebuked Dantes for not knowing how to reason as far as figuring out how he ended up being an inmate. He asked him who would benefit by his misfortune in order to get at the answer.
Likewise, we must all surmise that there are parties involved in US politics who would benefit with Trump being removed from the political scene. Is this a conspiracy theory? Let me ask you if you think that the candidacy and the chance of Donald Trump becoming US president again would be a blow to someone’s plans, like an inconvenient long term circumstance to whatever it is that they want to accomplish. There is your answer right there. I rest my case.
