IN FULL:

Florida’s Attorney General, James Uthmeier, announced on Thursday that Ryan Routh is being charged in connection with his alleged assassination attempt on President Donald J. Trump. The charges come after difficulties were noted in prosecuting the case under the former Biden-Harris regime, according to Uthmeier. He acknowledged the efforts of U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi in maintaining Florida’s ability to bring the prosecution, indicating her role as crucial in the proceedings.

Ryan Routh has been charged with first-degree attempted murder and a terrorism offense. Law enforcement alleges that Routh had intentions to target Trump while he was at his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida, during the 2024 election campaign.

This incident has led to attention on the security measures surrounding the President, especially in relation to his frequent visits to the golf course in West Palm Beach. Following Routh’s arrest, President Trump briefly halted his golfing activities but resumed them following his election victory last November.

Routh is also being charged with similar crimes on the federal level, with his trial yet to begin. Court documents revealed earlier his week showed that he attempted to source anti-aircraft missiles from Ukraine to target President Trump’s private aircraft.

Having served as an attempted recruiter of foreign mercenaries for Ukraine, Routh had deep ties to the Eastern European country and has visited it extensively, also having contacts with the Ukrainian military.

Attempted Trump Assassin Tried to Source Stinger Missiles From Ukraine.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: Attempted Trump assassin Ryan Routh tried to source anti-aircraft missiles to target President Donald J. Trump’s aircraft last year.

👥 Who’s Involved: Ryan Routh, President Donald J. Trump, Ukraine, the Department of Justice (DOJ), an unnamed associate of Routh, Ukraine.

📍 Where & When: The attempt to acquire the weapons took place in August of last year, online.

💬 Key Quote:  “Send me an RPG [rocket-propelled grenade] or stinger, and I will see what we can do… [Trump] is not good for Ukraine.” — Ryan Routh.

⚠️ Impact: The documents reveal the scope of Routh’s plans to take President Trump’s life and further connections between Routh and Ukraine.

IN FULL:

Newly released documents from the Department of Defence (DOJ) reveal that would-be assassin Ryan Routh tried to source a Stinger anti-aircraft missile from Ukraine to assassinate President Donald J. Trump last year. Routh made an attempt in August of last year, just a month after Thomas Matthew Crooks shot President Trump in Pennsylvania at a rally.

According to the DOJ, Routh was in contact with someone he believed had access to Ukrainian arms and had been talking of killing President Trump since July of last year. Routh allegedly told his associate, “Send me an RPG [rocket-propelled grenade] or stinger, and I will see what we can do… [Trump] is not good for Ukraine.”

Routh stated that such a weapon could be found in Ukraine, saying, “You are at war, so those items lost and destroyed daily – one missing would not be noticed.” Routh also sent a picture of President Trump’s private aircraft, likely his target.

It remains unclear where Routh would have found the money to purchase a Stinger missile, as some have noted that the costs could be in the tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of dollars.

Routh’s Ukraine connections have been well documented. He led an initiative attempting to recruit foreign mercenaries from countries like Afghanistan into the Ukrainian army. Ultimately, Routh tried to assassinate President Trump at a golf course in Palm Beach, Florida, in September of last year, but he was noticed before he could open fire.

Routh has pleaded not guilty to the charges of attempted assassination. His trial has yet to begin.

‘Cut His F***ing Head Off’ — AOC, Bernie Rallygoers Call for Trump’s Torture and Execution.

At a rally headlined by Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT), attendees unleashed a torrent of violent threats at President Donald J. Trump. Video footage captured the chaos as several individuals openly called for his torture and execution.

One rallygoer, brandishing a sign showing President Trump’s severed head, was unequivocal when a reporter asked if they were “calling for his death,” affirming: “Yes, I am. I believe it’s time the people straight cut his f***ing head off.”

Another in the throng proposed a grisly alternative, advocating for Trump to be strung up by his ankles from a lamppost. “The only good fascist is a dead fascist,” he declared, likening President Trump to Italian Fascist leader Benito Mussolini.

A third rallygoer insisted violence is now the only option. “It’s the only thing they’re going to listen to,” the attendee argued. “I feel like we’ve done the rallies… If violence is what we need to do, then that’s what we need to do.”

The rally, meant to energize progressive supporters, instead spotlighted a dark undercurrent of aggression on the political left. Last year, Trump was subject to two assassination attempts in Florida and Pennsylvania, the latter of which saw the America First leader shot in the ear, two of his supporters critically wounded, and a third, Corey Comperatore, murdered.

President Trump has said he believed the Democrats’ extreme rhetoric against him has inspired the attempts on his life, arguing, “I probably took a bullet to the head because of the things that they say about me. They talk about democracy; I’m a ‘threat to democracy.’ They’re the threat to democracy.”

The JFK Files.

The Trump administration released tens of thousands of pages of previously withheld government documents on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, providing new details on the historic event.

Back up: Kennedy was assassinated when his motorcade drove through Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 1963.

The details: The U.S. National Archives released more than 63,000 pages of previously classified files to the public in accordance with an executive order signed by President Donald Trump in January. Here are some of the high-profile takeaways.

  • One document reveals how Gary Underhill, who worked for the CIA, was found dead shortly after telling friends that “a small clique within the CIA” was responsible for the assassination.
  • The CIA closely monitored Oswald’s travels to Mexico City, where he sought a visa to return to the Soviet Union just two months before JFK’s death.
  • One document links a CIA-affiliated arms dealer to the sporting goods store where Oswald allegedly purchased his rifle.
  • Oswald’s phone calls were intercepted, and CIA officials urged Washington to keep those wiretaps secret even decades later.
  • A memo from historian and JFK aide Arthur Schlesinger Jr. warned the president about the CIA’s influence over foreign policy, calling it a “state within a state.”
  • The CIA bugged a meeting Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy was likely to attend with two Cuban exiles. CIA bugging the AG…

Zoom out: Some of these documents had been previously released—but with heavy redactions. This batch was unredacted.

Real talk from G: There are more excerpts from the files that have made their rounds on social media but require more diligence from yours truly to verify. If they pan out, I’ll be sure to share them with you all.

The last word goes to Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who wrote on X: “President Trump is ushering in a new era of maximum transparency… Promises made, promises kept.”

JFK Files Appear to Shed New Light on Oswald’s Ties to KGB ‘Assassination Chief.’

The newly released John F. Kennedy assassination files appear to shed additional light on long-suspected ties between the late president’s alleged assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, and a high-ranking Soviet Union intelligence officer who is believed to have oversaw political assassinations and communist guerilla warfare operations. Just months before Oswald allegedly assassinated President Kennedy, he is believed to have traveled to Mexico City, entering the Soviet Union embassy in an effort to renew his travel visa to the communist country. This incident has long been clouded in suspicion, with little known about who Oswald met with and what was discussed.

However, intelligence memos in the JFK files reveal that the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) came to believe with a high degree of confidence that the Soviet embassy officer who met with Oswald and reviewed his visa application was a man named Valeriy Vladimirovich Kostikov. Notably, Kostikov was not an actual diplomatic staffer but rather a high-ranking KGB official known for his expertise in targeted political assassinations and training of communist agitators and guerilla movements across South and Central America.

While Kostikov’s potential interaction with Oswald has been the subject of speculation for some time, the memos add a degree of certainty that Oswald indeed met with the infamous KGB officer in late September 1963. Just under two months later, Oswald—according to official accounts—shot and killed Kennedy in Dallas, Texas.

CIA CONCERNED ABOUT KOSTIKOV.

A series of CIA memos from the early to mid-1970s reveal the agency came to believe that Kostikov was deeply involved with the KGB’s 13th Department, which engaged in operations involving assassinations and sabotage. Another memo from 1978 from the CIA exudes a degree of panic when the agency became aware that Kostikov was operating in Beirut, Lebanon—suggesting they had been closely tracking the KGB officer’s movements in the years after the Kennedy assassination.

Although there is currently no definitive “smoking gun” linking Kostikov to Oswald’s actions in Dallas, the files shed new light on concerns American intelligence officials had regarding potential KGB involvement in the assassination of President Kennedy.

JFK Files Highlight Claims CIA Operative Suspected Agency Killed President Before Mysterious Death.

The release of the latest batch of documents related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy has brought renewed attention to the death of Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) operative Gary Underhill. The files, amounting to approximately 80,000 pages, were made public following an executive order by former President Donald J. Trump.

According to the documents, an article published by the pro-Soviet, far-left Ramparts magazine reported Underhill left Washington abruptly the day after Kennedy’s assassination. He traveled to the home of friends in New Jersey, displaying signs of distress. During his visit, Underhill reportedly confided in his friends that a small group within the CIA was responsible for the assassination, expressing fear for his safety and hinting at a possible need to leave the country. Less than six months later, Underhill was discovered dead in his Washington apartment, with the coroner ruling the death as a suicide.

Underhill’s body was found by Asher Brynes, a writing associate from The New Republic. According to Brynes, Underhill was shot behind the left ear, but the positioning of the gun and other factors raised questions. Notably, Underhill was right-handed, yet the pistol was found under his left side, and it was equipped with a silencer, which Brynes noted would have prevented neighbors from hearing the shot.

The Ramparts story insists friends of Underhill were initially skeptical of his claims but became suspicious following his death and its peculiar details. They had dismissed his allegations about a CIA clique involved in illegal activities, including gun-running and narcotics, but started questioning the official narrative after his suicide.

BREAKING: Trump Announces JFK Files Will Be Released TOMORROW.

President Donald J. Trump has announced the government’s John F. Kennedy assassination files will be released on Tuesday, March 18. Questions have swirled around the assassination of JFK for “decades,” the America First leader noted, but United States Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has now prepared all relevant documents for release on his instruction.

White House correspondent Shelby Talcott reports President Trump as saying there are about 80,000 pages of documents poised for release and that he does not expect them to be redacted. Before now, Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) had been accused by former Fox News host Tucker Carlson of attempting to frustrate the file release.

President Kennedy’s nephew, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., currently serves as Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary in the Trump administration. He has previously thanked President Trump for committing to public transparency on the assassinations of his uncle, as well as his father, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Martin Luther King Jr.

Tucker Carlson Accuses Republican Senator of Blocking JFK Files Release.

Tucker Carlson is accusing Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) of blocking an unnamed individual’s appointment to a key intelligence position in an effort to sabotage the full release of the federal government’s JFK assassination files. According to Carlson, Sen. Cotton moved to prevent the appointment as the individual would likely advocate for releasing long-classified JFK documents. The former Fox News host leveled the allegations against Sen. Cotton during an interview with Chris Cuomo on Monday evening.

While speaking with Cuomo, Carlson revealed that in January—as President Donald J. Trump was establishing his administration—a member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) intervened in the appointment process for a key intelligence position. “In January, there was a scramble over who’s gonna get what jobs in the new administration,” Carlson said, continuing: “At one point, there was someone who was being discussed for a job in the intel world, and a member of the SSCI… went to the people making the decision and said, ‘You cannot hire this person because this person will be certain to push for the release of the JFK files.'”

“You have to ask yourself, ‘What is that?'” Carlson posed to Cuomo, adding: “If you’re telling me that six weeks ago, a member of the United States Senate was trying to keep someone out of a job in order to keep these files secret, that is to protect the CIA, I don’t believe that for a second.”

When pressured by Cuomo to reveal the senator’s identity, Carlson named Cotton. Following the revelation, Cuomo questioned Carlson on his efforts to verify the information directly with President Trump or Sen. Cotton. Carlson responded, stating he didn’t think Cotton would agree to an interview.

Sen. Cotton responded to the allegations on Tuesday, writing in a post on X (formerly Twitter): “This is false. I have no problem releasing the ‘JFK files.'”

Man Arrested Over Threats to Assassinate Trump, Attack New York with Missiles.

A man in Florida has been arrested after making bizarre phone calls to police in which he made threats against the life of President Donald J. Trump. Some of the threats also reportedly included the man saying he would launch missiles at New York City as well.

Justin Blaxton made repeated phone calls to police in Palm Beach, Florida, the location of President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home. “I need a ride to the airport to be taken to The White House so I can assassinate the president,” he said in one call to police.

In another exchange, Blaxton told police to “tell the FBI I’m a mass murderer” and referred to himself as a “Confederate soldier,” saying “I’m looking to get my revenge.”

Blaxton appeared in court on Wednesday, March 5, and is facing charges including making false 911 calls and threatening to discharge an explosive device.

The arrest comes just months after former Ukraine recruiter Ryan Routh attempted to assassinate President Trump in Palm Beach while the President was playing golf. Secret service agents managed to detect Routh before he could take any action.

In January, another Ukraine recruiter, Matthew Livelsberger, blew up a Tesla Cybertruck outside Trump Tower in Las Vegas. Like Ryan Routh, Livelsberger attempted to recruit foreign nationals to help Ukraine in its conflict with Russia.

Feds Investigate ‘Influencer’ for Calling for Elon Musk’s Murder.

Federal agents are reportedly probing a social media “influencer” over a video calling for the assassination of tech billionaire Elon Musk. Sarah C. Roberts explicitly called for the killing of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) chief on TikTok.

Roberts, who has around 4,000 followers on the social media platform, posted a video where she mimicked a throat-slitting gesture accompanied by the words, “We need to X him,” referring to Elon Musk. She elaborated, “And by X, I mean formally known as assassination.”

In addition to these violent remarks, the New Yorker seemed to boast about not filing taxes for approximately eight years. “Arrest me,” she stated, challenging law enforcement.

The video was subsequently shared on X by the account Libs of TikTok, attracting over 16 million views, including one from Musk himself. Musk alerted Ed Martin, the U.S. Attorney for Washington D.C., about the post.

Musk labeled the video’s comments as a “death threat and admission of multiple counts of tax fraud” and remarked on the audacity of individuals admitting crimes publicly. Martin acknowledged the video with a response, saying, “Thx for letting us know. We’ll put you in the system. Talk soon, M’am.”

Musk has previously claimed there have been at least two assassination plots against him in the past. Last year also saw two unsuccessful attempts to murder President Donald J. Trump.
