Thomas Matthew Crooks Wrote Disturbing Post Foreshadowing Trump Shooting – ‘My Premiere, Watch as It Unfolds’

As Thomas Matthew Crooks neared his date with destiny, he could not resist telegraphing that something was in the works.

According to information shared at a briefing for senators on Wednesday night, Crooks posted a message on Steam, a platform where video game enthusiasts communicate.

“July 13 will be my premiere, watch as it unfolds,” he posted, according to Fox News.

Senators were told that this month, Crooks searched for information about former President Donald Trump, President Joe Biden, the date of the Democratic National Convention and the Trump rally in Pennsylvania where Crooks would wound Trump before being shot dead by a counter sniper.

The search of Crooks’s laptop has failed to find a political ideology that could have motivated Crooks, Fox reported.

During the briefing, federal officials told senators Crooks had two cell phones.

One phone was found with his body. The second was found at his home. The 27 contacts on the second phone are now being interviewed, the FBI told senators.

A report in The New York Times said, senators were told they have found no evidence Crooks had partners, either domestic or foreign.

The Times reported that Crooks searched “major depressive disorder” on one of his phones.

In recent months, Crooks received multiple packages, including some labeled  “hazardous material,” the Times reported, citing a federal law enforcement memo it obtained.

Could this shooting have been prevented?

One explosive device was found in Croooks’s home; two others were in his car at the Trump rally.

The devices in Crooks’s car could have been detonated by a radio-controlled system used for fireworks.

John Cohen, former head of intelligence at the Department of Homeland Security, said pieces of a familiar pattern are emerging, according to ABC.

“What is beginning to emerge is a portrait of a troubled young person who turned to violence,” he said.

“Likely, it was a combination of mental health issues, ideological beliefs and a sense of personal grievance, the same combination of factors present in almost every school shooting and mass casualty attack over the past several years,” he said.

“As with those incidents, the warning signs were there, they were just not recognized,” Cohen said. “The threat was real, but people around him did not understand what they were witnessing or how it would play out last Saturday.”


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

 

I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” 

 

That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.

 

Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.

 

The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”

 

All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.

 

Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control. 

 

A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.

 

We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight? 

 

Sincerely,

Josh Manning

Deputy Managing Editor

The Western Journal
