Gary Bauer: End Of Day - 8-2-24

Secrets Revealed


A courageous whistleblower inside the Secret Service has come forward to expose some of the secrets the agency has been hiding.


The whistleblower informed Senator Josh Hawley that Ronald Rowe, the current acting director who replaced Kimberly Cheatle, is responsible for significantly cutting back the Counter Surveillance Division (CSD).


CSD agents perform threat assessments before events. But the whistleblower alleges that CSD agents did not perform a threat assessment prior to the Butler rally and were not present on the day of the rally.


In a letter sent to Rowe yesterday, Hawley wrote:


"This is significant because CSD's duties include evaluating potential security threats outside the security perimeter and mitigating those threats during the event. . . if personnel from CSD had been present at the rally, the gunman would have been handcuffed in the parking lot after being spotted with a rangefinder."


The whistleblower also told Hawley that multiple Secret Service agents have complained about inadequate security for President Trump for nearly a year, saying that Rowe's cutbacks were jeopardizing the people they were supposed to protect. The whistleblower alleges that Rowe retaliated against the agents who voiced their concerns.


If true, any retaliation could well be a violation of federal law. Whistleblowers are supposed to be protected from retaliation in order to encourage people to come forward and report problems or any kind of wrongdoing. 


This new information raises even more questions. Did the Secret Service continue conducting normal site investigations for Joe Biden? Or were the CSD cutbacks limited to just Trump events?


Just as a reminder: In recent years, several rising political stars who have resisted globalism have faced assassination attempts. (Here, here, and here.) Is it just a coincidence that populist leaders seem to be most frequently targeted? It certainly seems odd to me.


There is a worldwide struggle raging against free societies led by radical Islamists, neo-Marxists, and the one world government crowd. We are watching the death of Western Civilization in France and Great Britain. Or the real possibility that both countries could devolve into civil wars.
