The video comes to my attention via the Twitter Account of Tony Seruga. The video appears to capture Thomas Crooks walking through the vendor section of the Butler rally at approximately 4:26pm, about one and a half hours before he began shooting.
If the 4:26pm time is accurate, this is interesting because President Trump was initially scheduled to begin speaking at 5:00pm.

🤔
No equipment. <<
If this photo is not altered,
“Is that a gun in your pants, or are you just happy to see me?”
Its a stiff walk with a taken down Am i right taped to your body.
Wow.
white shorts (long shorts but shorts none the less)
Very interesting. Someone must have told him he had time to waste.
Yes, Trump has some bad actors on his team, and they are not just the secret service.
Very likely
100%
Who are you?
Who are you?
Did you see the interview with the Butler PA Congressman who says when Trump’s advance team told him where they were going to schedule the rally he told him it wasn’t a good idea, told him to use Butler Fair Grounds. Guy was a condescending prick to him and basically hung up on him.
The airport may have been the original place.
Motorcade? Maybe? Why do you mention “airport”?
Who are you?
Scout the area?
Who are you?
who’s the dude he’s following? My 15 year old son would point at him and say “fed, fed, fed.”
Definitely an interesting observation. The guy in front of Crooks wearing long pants and blue long sleeves does not look dressed for Trump rally. Also, look at his left hip. Looks like he may be imprinting a concealed carry weapon on left hip/thigh. Additionally, looks like the left side of his untucked shirt is resting on something in his waistband.
Maybe Crooks had protection so he could get the job done.
I agree, and he even looks like the FBI agent who was standing watch at the gate when they raided Mar a Lago
That dude is definitely out of place. Long sleeves, dark glasses ( well ok glasses maybe it’s summer but still).
Fat feds as per my experience are locals as they rarely travel far from home. The whole video just makes the “mystery” of the assassination “attempt” weirder and weirder by the minute.
As an aside, I feed my kitties a dose of Dr. Marty’s freeze dried raw cat food with their diet of beef and /or chicken. And you know what, that raw food reeks like hell if it sits out too long.
Just like this story, it is really starting to reek with a smell of something really rotten.
It’s not a mystery. The SS was the “stun” team.
not swinging his right arm as the left. Is he holding something?
Cell phone it appears to me. Lone wolves often talk to other lone wolves.
The feds approve these conversations, but not ours.
🙂
There’s an app for that!
/s
LOL You mean like the FBI contact?
He’s not holding anything in either hand. He does appear to have some type of device (cellphone or detonator) in his right cargo pocket.
Just below those cargo pockets are black crew socks. Foul things were definitely afoot.
Over the calf socks are much better.
the only people I know who wear “over the calf socks” are schoolgirls in plaid skirts
dunno where you live
I agree. Crooks left arm not swinging.
The blue shirt guy dressed very inappropriate for weather. Why so nice of clothes on a hot day worn so sloppily? Was he working on something? Trying to appear casual when he would otherwise be dressed like a SS
Crooks and the blue guy seem to be in synch with each other, pretending not to be together.
The rifle and ladder were set up in place by his Fed handler is my guess? Where’s the backpack with his rifle in it as the FBI is was speculating? Looks rather comfortable for a first time assassin? JMO
The telescoping ladder came later. You can see a guy in camo carrying it across the field then tossing it over a fence on his way to the building where Crooks was after the shots were fired.
He never needed a ladder! Keep up!
Where’d the glasses go in the Dead Wind Up Toy photos?
Interesting, no?
Very cool and casual for a man about to assassinate the president of the United States. Very detached and almost trance-like. Weird indeed!
How do we know that Crooks was even the body on the roof?
The haste in cremating the body of the shooter was clearly more about destroying forensic evidence then not.
What about this Maxwell Yearick guy I’ve heard about?
Yes!
And furthermore …. how do we know that the body seen in photographs was an actual dead human being, and not a dummy?
We don’t.
I strongly psychically suspect that IF there really is an actual Crooks’ family, that their son isn’t even in America but is now safely hidden away in a in a foreign country and is about to attend college in mere days.
There are so many sketchy details about this assassination attempt, I think the Tommy Crooks kid was simply meant to be a decoy taking investigative attention away from the criminal Deep State.
They wanted the dummy to appear to the shooter.
Most people believe Crooks was a patsy, and maybe they are correct.
But it’s not my take….
This’ll just be another example of attempted murder that never gets legitimately investigated.
Gotta protect all the *real* CROOKS!!!
YMMV
Who is Crooks then? Is he really dead then?
The man in the above video appears to be dressed the same as videos that bystanders took of the man on the roof with a rifle. The picture circulating of a dead Crooks shot in the head appears to have the same hair/same color shirt. Cremating the body may have to do with how many shots his body took, and destroying forensic evidence. They also cremated officer Brian Sicknick’s body in a haste, too.
yes he’s dead. picture is in the thread. his own parents will attest to the fact.
Dude on the roof was not wearing shorts.
Crooks dead on the roof in white knee-length shorts and light gray t-shirt
Crooks strolling down the promenade in white knee-length shorts and light gray t-shirt
Let’s put the shorts/pants question to rest, can we?
This guy, he’s disappeared since the rally:

☝️ Ridiculous. This guy has big open hooped holes in his ear lobes.
The close up pictures of Crooks, dead on the roof clearly show nothing of the sort.
The guy on the roof was wearing long pants.
see photo just upthread … Crooks dead on the roof in what looks like those knee-length white shorts, with officers standing around
Ridiculous? This is the picture they were showing until that video came out:

Looks like a grade school picture of him, braces and all.
Disgusting.
And this is the photo from bodycam still that came out after the threat was neutralized, come to your own conclusions:

Why does his face have the blue grey color of a dead man, but his neck flesh is pink and healthy looking? Something’s fishy here.
Sunlight and shadows.
He was shot from behind, execution-style.
The right ear appears to match up in both photos of Crooks. There is a little ridge protrusion about three-quarters of the way up the ear.
“Politifact” said clearly, with photos, on June 14th, that the dude in the video isn’t Crooks:
https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2024/jul/14/social-media/no-this-photo-is-not-of-trump-rally-shooting-suspe/
From “Politifact”, #1:

From “Politifact”, #2. There’s more, come to your own conclusions.

Good observation!
That’s t Crooks.
“Isn’t” Crooks. Won’t allow me to edit for some reason.
That yearick stuff is just muddying the waters. I wish people would stop bringing that up.
And you think YOU know what happened?
Please enlighten us.
I’ve forgotten the original reason some people introduced yearick to the possibilities.
But for the record, the earlobes could be repaired. close exam to confirm would be possible if they hadn’t cremated him. Seems there would be a law to disallow cremation so soon in potential crime related death.
Study the gruesome photo above and come to your own conclusions.
Exactly. That and the hosing down of the roof. When have you ever seen FBI agents hosing down a crime scene?
How do we know Crooks is the guy in this video?
Look at the distinctive ear bumps. It’s Crooks.
Smot on! I just posted the same thing.
It is almost like his head is tilting to catch the MKUltra sounds of programming his brain.
The queen of diamonds.
Not a professional sniper!
are you sure thats not the Yeader (sp) Person? This guy looks much bigger than the pics of him on the roof, his head is bigger and he looks older. I never heard anymore about the Yeader guy other than the 1st or 2nd day.
His shirt is the giveaway. It had been talked about incessantly.
Not having heard the incessant talk, could you please explain the shirt thing?
I have nothing to add but saw this article…
https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/15/business/demolition-ranch-shirt-trump-shooter/index.html
Oh, that definitely adds some context. Thanks!
Glad to help, PJ.
Demolitia is the term used to describe an unstoppable army of gun-crazed Americans led by Matt Carriker, the creator of Demolition Ranch.
“If the 4:26pm time is accurate, this is interesting because President Trump was initially scheduled to begin speaking at 5:00pm.”
Why is this interesting? I tried on some very vague theories but obviously Sundance knows the important “why.” Anyone?
Because he didn’t speak until later, and if Crooks was intending to be on that roof, someone already told him to to get up there so soon. How did he know? Trump insiders (unfriendly spies) must have told him
Thanks. So apparently it wasn’t well known (announced) that Trump’s speech had been delayed. Hmm…
Crooks could have asked someone on the grounds if the event was starting on time. It wouldn’t be considered an unreasonable question or suspicious.
Publishing his whole phone log might help. I can’t imagine his handlers would want any digital or physical footprints on game day.
*” told him NOT to get up there so soon”.
because he would be getting into position at that point in time … not walking around sightseeing … unless he knew Trump was running late … when no-one else in the crowd knew
Trump rallies last a long time. He didn’t have to be on the spot as soon as Trump took the stage.
They wouldn’t have wanted to keep the msm waiting.
Good point
Exactly! If he had 20 minutes before the speech he wouldn’t be wandering around strolling nonchalantly!
He wasn’t. He was checking everything off on his to-do-list. Based on some of the testimony we’ve heard he allegedly went in and out of the venue a number of times, back and forth to his vehicle(s). Even left to go to the hardware store.
He’s strolling around pretty casually for a guy who is only 30 minutes out from the execution of his assasination plan.
PDJT often comes on stage late.
He usually speaks for 30-45 minutes, minimum.
People can HEAR PDJT speak, not to mention the intro,
from all around that space.
He had plenty of time, and knew it.
Yes, dude seems chill in that pic.
Aside from these observations,
ill let smarter people take it from here.
Other than that, I’ll let smarter people
Crooks looked so confident. He thought he was part of the IC assassination team.
Crooks was a sick evil useful idiot and little did he know the evil IC was going to kill him to permanently shut him up.
Inside job.
F the IC
F KAmmunism Harris
Trump 2024
Bingo.
Ditto
Yes, he could not have known they were going to kill him and be walking around so calmly. I actually find it odd that he could be walking around that calmly knowing that he was about to attempt to assassinate President Trump. The IC must have been training him for quite some time. Or maybe they promised him 72 virgins.
Tucker Carlson also has footage that has never been seen before, for his new docuseries the Art of the Surge.
Would be nice to see all the video that guy has.
Dead man walking.
He looks a bit like David Koresh…
Also from Tony S…
I concur.
Thank you Two Laine. I “love” the old newsreel, but at the time each of those scenarios were portrayed, I honestly couldn’t believe my eyes. I think I was soul sick for a long time after watching the theatrics of the “taking the knee.”
What are the odds?
And Wyss daughter is friends with Lizard cheney. The wyss family have a home in Wyoming and daughter has dual citizenship.
Wyss made his money making orthopaedic prosthetic joins for hops and knees. Company name Synthes, now DePuy Synthes.
HE is part of the Soros crowd, and I saw him part of the wef mtg pictures.
How is he tied to Crooks?
what’s Seruga talking about? “covered up the Lahaina fires”?
how were the Lahaina fires “covered up?”
anyone who follows Seruga, please inform me
That they cremated this guys body tells you all you need to know.
Yep, very suspicious
I never saw any of the traditional crime scene people in their boots and coveralls examining that body or roof, or grounds.
my first impression: the FBI released photo of crooks made crooks look like a kid, this “man” walking is very different that what is being portrayed.
For me that is a tell tale sign they are orchestrating narratives and manipulating the public from the start.
Exactly my thought, looking at this newly found video.
And discussed much in these threads since day one.
The narrative engineers went to great lengths to keep that years-old “little kid” looking school pic front and center.
My though was they wanted those who may have seen him wandering around at the event or even weeks before would not remember or recognize the “KID” until the memory has already faded.
First thing law enforcement tries to do when looking for someone is try to get a recent photo ….so yeah
Just like Michael Brown, they used his childhood middle school picture when in reality he was over 6 feet tall and a huge grown man.
Trayvon Martin was no small child. He was definitely man sized 5’11”, 17 year old.
Media photo was always him as a scrawny 13 or 14 year old.
As Col Tony Shaffer said on Judge Napolitano last week…the video of the shooter you will SEE is the video they (The MIC Assassins) want you to see!
A stunning discussion with Judge Napolitano!
Crooks should have known….IF you’re in a poker game and after 30 minutes you have not figured out who is “the mark” — it’s probably you!
Thomas Crooks shoes and socks in ‘before’ video seem to match Beaver County Police photo of Crooks after being shot. Crooks stride in video appears his shoes are sized large for his foot?
I have been wondering why Crooks gun is way over to the left side instead of next to him.
Does anyone know the answer or even a guess?
A sniper shot the gun
I had “heard” the LEOs moved it out of the way in order to take photos of the body.
Guessing, Crooks stood up and walked to his right to get a better look at Trump. He left his rifle at his firing prone position. Now he was at a clear position for the shot that killed him.
Rule of thumb you put the shooters gun far away from the person even if dead, just to make sure they won’t pop up and start shooting because they were playing dead.
Aren’t LEOs trained to disarm suspected perps even if they appear to be dead?
Yes, they are. Step one is move the shooter’s weapon way out of reach. I note the rifle does not have a telescopic sight. It appears to have an Aimpoint optic sight; they have no magnification. The red dot would have likely completely covered Trump’s head in looking through it at that range. An earlier photo provided by the FBI showed an AR with a telescopic sight.
Anyone else wondering why Trump’s plane and then Vance’s plane both needed to make emergency landings within the space of a week?
Very strange considering Trump Force One was custom fitted with upgrades, including Rolls Royce engines and has never had problems before.
I think Trump’s was a hydraulic leak, and Vance’s was the door not properly closed.
I noticed when Trump’s plane landed they held the nose wheel high off the runway for as long as they could as if there was a problem with it.
I seem to recall a story in the last 60 days about Trumps plane clipping another plane while moving it at LGA and causing some damage. May or may not be related.
Haven’t seen the reasons why their 2 planes made unscheduled landings.
I am not sure there are “bad” actors on the Trump team at this stage.
However, I am sure the secret service is NOT doing it’s job and that the govt is trying to murder Trump.
Is that an earring in his right ear or an airpod? Look at the close up.
Potential guy following him. Big guy, dark shorts, dark shirt? Sort of crosses from one side to another while focused ahead.
I saw him also. It looks like he was following, just a little further back than the guy in front.
Wonder if Crooks left “backpack (with rifle)” propped against the bike while he took this stroll? Or did he leave rifle with explosives and garage door opener in “car parked by the CS” who allegedly left shift just before PDJT’s scheduled arrival?
FTA –
‘Text messages between members of the Beaver County Emergency Service Unit revealed a more concrete — and earlier — timeline leading up to the shooting that grazed the former president’s ear, injured two rallygoers and killed one.
The messages also revealed that Crooks, 20, was aware of the law enforcement presence as he prepared his assassination attempt on the GOP nominee.
“Someone followed our lead and snuck in and parked by our cars just so you know,” a counter-sniper texted a colleague as he headed out around 4:26 p.m.
https://nypost.com/2024/07/29/us-news/texts-show-thomas-matthew-crooks-was-on-authorities-radar-90-minutes-before-shooting-report/
4:26 Beaver County CS text continued …“I’m just letting you know because you see me go out with my rifle and put it in my car so he knows you guys are up there sitting to the direct right on a picnic table about 50 yards from the exit,” he wrote of the suspicious person who turned out to be Crooks.
Around 5:10 p.m., Crooks was below the counter-snipers who were inside the AGR International building warehouse where the 20-year-old eventually climbed onto the roof and from which he fired his AR-15, the Times reported.
****
So Crooks is “sitting at picnic table AND walking around vender area” at same moment based off timestamps from above video and CS text message – 4:26?!
Interesting. Hard to know if the assignment of times to various videos is accurate.
At 4:26, Beaver County sniper took a photo of Crooks sitting at the picnic table. So. What’s up with this video. Could be 3:26 but certainly not 4:26. Perhaps his phone was not correct.
Was he promised 21 virgins upon the completion of his mission?
Crooks looks like a goof. Blue shirt guy is walking with purpose. His head is up, he appears to notice the camera guy. Keeps swiveling past though. He’s observant. He’s not just taking in the scene. He’s looking for specific things. He’s not a fed, too fat. He’s a contractor.
Also, his left sleeve seems longer and bulkier at the wrist area.
I heard a clip from a Mike Benz interview yesterday or day before.
In the clip, Benz said that Crooks had active pipe bombs in his vehicle. Benz made the point that Crooks either would need to learn that skill from some other human being or learn by using the web.
If he did a web search for building a pipe bomb, that term would have triggered a terrorism investigation. As Benz said, Crooks would have suddenly encountered a new close friend. Since Crooks and Homeland Security Investigations personnel used the same gun range for practice, it should not have been too difficult for an HSI type to run into Crooks and develop a relationship.
Of the federal personnel on the scene at Butler on J13, HSI is said to have had a greater presence than Secret Service.
I don’t know anything but this is unsettling.
Listening now to Peak Prosperity’s new video and interesting that Crooks was supposedly spotted by LE at a picnic table at 4:26. It is around 4:49 mark.
This guy is a CIA MK Ultra victim
No doubt about it
Hard to believe this is a lone wolf who has prepositioned equipment and can now casually stroll around until it’s go time….
Most young guys couldn’t be that casual on the first step out of nerd world- is he mentally ill or programmed?
both
Communication device in his ear.
I’m not sure that’s him.
That is creepy.
I see a person. I did not see a killer.
I don’t like our government and I cannot stand our media. The founders were were men of great character what is now is rot.
This video looks altered. Parts of the arms and legs look like they were cut and pasted.
Who had their cell phones taken that day? It seems it would be a difficult task to get all cell phones.
His clothes etc have DN A , congress critters should investigate
Who took this photo and why? Wasn’t he wearing long pants on top of the roof?
photo of Crooks on the roof in the white shorts and light gray t-shirt, with officers standing around, has been posted upthread, about a quarter-way down the page
I may be crazy, and have watched that video too many times.
That left arm is not natural. Doesn’t move symmetrically like it should counter to the other arm. The light rim on the outsde upper arm and deltoid is unnatural. The dark shadowing on the inside of the arm is also unnatural and doesn’t move with arm and body movement. Why would it be altered? To cover up what? Maybe a tatoo?
The shoes and socks don’t look natural either. the shoes seem much longer than the feet and the socks look photoshopped on with irregular top borders. (maybe to match the shoes on the body on the roof?)
Could be AI generated video “deepfake”:
https://www.media.mit.edu/projects/detect-fakes/overview/
So, where is Maxwell? He resembles Thomas in hight, weight, length of hair, angle of face and chin but with two moles on his right neck near the middle below his ear. This is the face of the corpse on the roof that had a bullet wound on the left side of his head.
Maxwell’s white panel truck with Arizona plates was in the parking lot and impounded. Maxwell Yearick’s family is in the firearms business and Maxwell is known as a very skilled shooter.
So, where is Maxwell? Is he a second generation JD Tippit; the Dallas police officer who closely resembled President Kennedy and was nicknamed JFK…. Tippit was killed in Dallas, hours after the assassination and his death was pinned on the patsy identified as Lee Harvey Oswald. There is reason to believe JD’s body was used as a swap out for the assassinated President.
It doesn’t appear that all the management of federal, state and local authority are members of the same fraternity as where those in Dallas. But, there is an odor in the air and it smells awful fishy.
And, oh yes, isn’t it dandy that Thomas’ remains are said to have been cremated.
Yearick has been missing since July 14 & his social media has been wiped…

Something about his body language telegraphs he does not expect to die anytime soon. There is an air of arrogance, as if he is part of something. The vibe is not congruent with a lone wolf up to no good, full of smoldering hate. The gestalt seems to say something else.
Does his shirt say, DEMOLITION?
Unfortunately we will never learn the whole truth of what happened.
Trump 2024
Demolitia is the term used to describe an unstoppable army of gun-crazed Americans led by Matt Carriker, the creator of Demolition Ranch.
That video doesn’t exist, it never happened….says the left…
“Demolitia” stamped on his chest. Fitting epitaph.
Demolitia is the term used to describe an unstoppable army of gun-crazed Americans led by Matt Carriker, the creator of Demolition Ranch.
What I see is groomed psychopath. His parents groomed this kid with a little help from mind altering drugs they pump into kids today. He was groomed to hate President Trump and into thinking if he killed the man he would be a celebrated hero in this country.
Now the big question is who helped with the grooming? That frigging little psycho had some kind of help that day getting to the point of shooting.
I myself believe he was going to cause a lot more carnage but the local sniper put a stop to it. Was someone else going to try and use the explosives In the van to create more carnage ? For some reason I believe part of the plan was stopped that day.
I believe they were trying to stop all the rallies of MAGA.
It went off the rails. So was there another psychopath there that got cold feet and bolted?
These aren’t the cloths he was wearing on the roof.
yeah they are
see the photo posted upthread about quarter way down the page with officers standing over a dead Crooks wearing those identical white knee-length shorts and light gray T-shirt
this clothing controversy has become tiresome, let it go
His shirt says Demolitia, so he was pretty much wearing a sign saying who he was going to be that day. As someone who posted earlier, the guy walking in front of him is who my eyes go to first. I still think he had help from someone.
It is a Demolition Ranch shirt, and much has been written about it since, including by the owner of Demolition Ranch.
100% = Demolitia is the term used to describe an unstoppable army of gun-crazed Americans led by Matt Carriker, the creator of Demolition Ranch.
You forgot to attribute that quote to CNN.
