Introduction: Archeologists used radio-carbon dating of ancient Indian dwellings to confirm that The Butler Novel began 10-12,000 years ago. That is the earliest known arrival of people in our beautiful area.
Long-lost chapters in “The Butler Novel” were written every time established Tribes of Indians were attacked by other Tribes during The Stone Ages. Then, as now, nearly every flat area along every River and Stream in Pennsylvania was home to cities and villages of Indian Peoples with many languages and beliefs. Families lived and worked in fields, huge orchards of nut trees, and workshops where skilled craftspeople made things of wood, stone, bone, bark, skins, fibers, clay, feathers, and even some chemicals for dyes and medicines.
We do not know the names of early “Tribes” in the first 10,000 years of Butler County’s Stone Ages. Two thousand years ago, it is thought that Tribes now known as “Hopewell Indians” took over. They were replaced by “Adena Indians” who may have been defeated by Indians of the “Huron Tribes”. After that, many Tribes of Seneca and Allegheny Indians were attacked by “Erie Indians” and their allies.
United Tribes of “Iroquois Indians” began to attack villages and cities of Stone Age “Erie Indians”. Not long after that, a bloodthirsty Tribe of land-grabbing “English Episcopalians” appeared from afar. Their Tribe combined Iron Age Technology with self-serving ideals to replace nearly a thousand years of Catholic Churches, schools, monasteries, convents, teachings, and accommodations for the poor to give 20,000,000 acres and countless assets to those who worshiped “More for Me!” They confiscated one-third of England’s land that had been donated to The Church over the preceding thousand years. Those properties provided the farms, mines, mills, and workshops that provided education in Catholic schools, colleges, universities, along with “accommodations for the poor.” Soon, many of their countrymen and women in England, Ireland, and Scotland were forced to flee from an England ruled by worshipers of “More for Me!”
When their control extended to our Continent, many Colonial Governors, the “Chiefs” of the “English Episcopalian Tribe”, replaced the Judeo-Catholic Traditions of “Merrie olde England”. Both the “Ten Commandments” and “Love God and love your neighbor as yourself” were ‘redacted’ and replaced with a single sentence: “The only good Indian is a dead Indian.”
Many such “Governors” privately ordered entire Tribes of Stone-Age Indians to be exterminated. State-controlled clergy agreed: “We need congregations out West!” Indian Tribes were confused by alcohol while virtually all native jobs were wiped out by mass-produced tin, copper, bronze, and iron tools, pots, ornaments, and weapons mass-produced by the boatload from Iron Age factories. Endless, fruitful fields of dry Indian corn were burned in the fall to starve Indian Families during agonizingly cold winters.
Westward eviction of survivors went on so long that some Tribes in Ohio were crammed into railroad cars and sent West by train! Today, Lost Tribes of Stone Age Indian Peoples are remembered only by the many, many, many States, Counties, Cities, Towns, and Schools that still bear their names between Connecticut and Oregon. All can see that in vast areas of the once Episcopalian-controlled United States, there is no Indian DNA. In Catholic-settled nations, it survives in 90% of the living people.
By The Grace of God, denominations that followed in later Chapters of The Butler Novel returned to believing that “You shall not kill.” and “Love God and love your neighbor as yourself.” are Fundamental Truths. An even greater Miracle occurred! Even some in the Tribe of English Episcopalians returned to those uplifting beliefs as “Tribes of Christian Denominations” became blessedly “more Christian” than the first, bloody waves of English Episcopalians that washed away tens of millions of Stone Age Indians forever while “More for Me!” echoed from “sea to shining sea”.
Whew! That’s more History than many want us to know.

The Latest Chapter of The Butler Novel began to be written before 6:11 PM on July 13, 2024. The Butler Novel, Movie/Video begins with the fine work done by good citizens, Local Law Enforcement, and Butler County Officials to prepare for a Presidential Candidate’s campaign rally.
Many good people in and around Butler County played the same Starring Roles in The Butler Novel’s Latest Chapter that they play in real life! They did a far better job than many are led to believe.
The Latest Chapter of The Butler Novel begins with considering similarities between the recent attack on a former President’s election campaign and a Greek assassination in 514 BC. Aristogeiton was offended because Hipparchus, the younger brother of Athen’s ruler, Hippias, showed an “interest” in Aristogeiton’s young lover, Harmodius. Jealousy, anger, and power-seeking killed the three men.

What could connect Ancient Greece with The Latest Chapter of The Butler Novel about Butler County, Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024 AD? A day or two after the shooting in Butler, a post appearing to be from the shooter’s mother demanded: “racist homophobes should stop bullying my son.”
Her words prompted a question that many prefer to “redact”: “What, except for knowing about her son’s same-sex identification, could have prompted his mother to call those who insulted him: ‘homophobes’?”
Genuinely concerned people in gay and straight communities are not afraid to ask that question because we want everyone to be safe from those who prey on the vulnerable. Those who prefer “redaction” make the usual excuses to keep politically incorrect Truth from being sought or shared.
~
Did this Chapter of The Butler Novel begin when someone was told to find a confused, intelligent young man (SAT Scores of 1500?), needy for approval from a manipulative authority figure? Many are asking the question that some prefer to “redact”: “Did this vulnerable 20-year-old lose his life after being seduced into believing how ‘rightfully and historically important’ he could and should be if he assassinated a Presidential Candidate unpopular with many?“
Overseas and local phone connections are explored. Fellow school students are interviewed to identify thoughts, inclinations, and desires they noticed. His phone calls, email records, and writings are examined. Books, movies, videos, magazines, and information he chose to access are examined. New adult contacts in the last year or so of his life are identified and questioned, under oath. Open, honest people want all that is found to be “Made Public”, with no “redactions” in what is a “National Emergency” that “redactions” will help to be repeated.
Parental Liability is explored. Recently, a jury found that the parents of a school shooter were guilty of allowing their confused daughter easy access to the firearms she took to school and used to kill several students. Do parents of the Butler shooter have even greater liability because they are described as “professional counselors” who make a living by getting clients to believe “We meaningfully care about identifying and curing psychological problems.”?
Maybe not! The Butler Novel considers their possible recognition of that liability when they were said to have called the FBI to report their son was “missing”. How often does someone call the FBI to report a child who is merely “missing”? That call was a sure-to-have-been-recorded conversation. Will it be “redacted” because avoiding admission of mistakes is more important than Truth? Did the parents make that call to use the FBI as their scapegoat or was it the only solution they could find for a problem they, as experienced counselors, had good reason to worry about? Had they noticed their “missing son” may have had the similarly “missing rifle”? Could competing agencies have encouraged them to embarrass the FBI?
If that call was made, was the FBI wrong for not immediately taking concerns from Professional Psychologists seriously enough to spend half an hour or so to locate him and his cell phone and have one or two, of exactly how many local agents within fifty miles, to immediately find and interview him? Was parental fear of liability confirmed when they hired attorneys who may find the FBI’s willful lack of response was a major contributing factor to the tragedy? Were the parents aware of legal, mind-altering medications prescribed to their son?

The Butler Novel/Movie/Video explores how and when the young assassin found, or was given, details about the pre-arranged Presidential Rally location. Computer records of his searches on sites like Google Maps will be publicly examined. Every concerned citizen has a right to expect that computer searches, including those made on school, friends, or public library computers and phones, will not be “redacted”.
Questions about: “How did he find his way between secured buildings, park among among local Law Enforcement vehicles, get onto a heating/air conditioning unit, and climb from it onto the ideal sniper position on a strangely unguarded roof in a complicated, crowded, seemingly secured, unfamiliar location surrounded by police while carrying a rifle?” will be answered. The very odd “disappearance” of the 15- foot ladder he was reported to have purchased will be investigated.
This, and other questions, will hopefully not be “redacted”: “Were warnings and actual sightings reported by concerned Butler County citizens and our outstanding Local Law Enforcement Officers intentionally overlooked by people told to ‘Be ignorant on purpose.’?”
Another Mystery in The Butler Novel: A Pennsylvania State Trooper was posted under a nearby water tower. He spotted young Mr. Crooks at 6:08 p.m. that evening. He put out a radio dispatch warning all: “There’s someone on the roof!”
Why did Federal Agencies not use the programmed radios that our fine, Local Law Enforcement provided for such dispatches to provide better Secret Service Security? Not only were those radios never used, but also,“The Secret Service never bothered to pick them up!” according to our concerned Local Law Enforcement and U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.).
Did security failures begin the night before the rally? That is when stacks of un-inspected chairs were said to have been put in place by volunteers who came and went without having their identities checked. According to one volunteer who helped: “Anyone could have been there!” Were explosives intended to be hidden to put dozens of that politically incorrect candidate’s supporters, including Congressman Mike Kelly, his family, and supporters sitting near the candidate, at risk of death or injury? Did people assigned to do that fail, or were they ordered not to do so? Will such considerations be “redacted”, or fully and honestly investigated?
Why are those concerns important? Powerful explosives were found in both the assassin’s home and car! Explosives are among the most “traceable” things in this country! Where, exactly, did those explosives come from? Was material for shrapnel found? Will Local Law Enforcement be allowed to find honest, complete answers without “redactions” from those who want them?
“Why was his ‘white van’ with explosives said to have an Arizona license plate? Whose license plate was it? Who owned the van? Did the mysterious “ladder” fit inside it with or without the rear door open so it could be seen on nearby service-station videos? How did the license plate get to Pennsylvania? Was it mailed, sent by a private mail delivery service, provided by an interested party, or was the van driven to his home in Pennsylvania? What happened to its Pennsylvania license plate? Will Local Law Enforcement be allowed to investigate and release ownership details, maps of its travel, and ‘pings’ to and from the driver identifying all in contact with him or her?
Television ‘crime shows’ let us see that good, local police work often follows such ‘pings’, often for dozens and hundreds of miles, to find gas-station videos of who is using restrooms and buying food while filling up their vehicle with fuel. Will that be done to let us see anyone in ‘the white van’ and every associated vehicle? Or, will ‘redactions’ keep those facts hidden from mere citizens?”

An important part of The Butler Novel wonders exactly who decided to send what is said to be the first “counter-sniper team” to a former President’s Campaign Rally in this campaign. Was the “expert counter-sniper” precisely and perfectly placed to be able to kill the carefully positioned young assassin before he could be captured and disclose who helped him? Is Computer-age Presidential Assassination Planning now designed to avoid the long time it took to get Lee Harvey Oswald in front of the terminally ill Jack Ruby and his handgun after President Kennedy was assassinated?
~
The most fascinating scene in The Butler Novel/Movie/Video focuses on what is hard to avoid realizing what may be the actual thoughts of the “expert counter-sniper”. It might open with sight pictures of a deer, woodchuck, or person targeted by a similar, high-powered telescopic scope at the same distance to let viewers see what an easy target the “expert counter-sniper” had from his amazingly perfect “counter-sniper” position. Exactly how powerful was the “expert counter-sniper’s” telescopic sight? Will details about the caliber and ammunition specifications be shared or “redacted” to protect rabid raccoons, coyotes, and other varmints?
The Butler Novel/Movie/Video considers what the “expert counter-sniper” may not have helped but think as he watched the assassin fire seven more shots in the following seconds. Was there an average “thinking time” between shots that may have taken as long for us to say out loud: “One thousand one, one thousand two, one thousand three, one thousand four, one thousand five, one thousand six, one thousand seven, and possibly “one thousand eight, one thousand nine.” during the volley that killed one person and seriously wounded two more of our Butler County neighbors whose only “crime” was public support of a former President? Do some think that “crime” is as serious as those said to have been committed by those still in jail for peacefully using their “right to free speech” in The Capitol Building built upon that Constitutional Guarantee?
Accurate images and audio will let us see and hear the actual, micro-second time delay between sight and sound in each shot of the video reenactment. Using “real-time” will show exactly what the “expert counter-sniper” actually watched and heard as he watched the assassin fire seven more shots, unless that visualization is “redacted”.
Were those seven shots allowed by the expert “counter-sniper” because orders had been given to him before he began his assignment? Or, were those orders given to him by radio after each of the assassin’s shots to give him a chance to hit the candidate with his next bullet? “Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait.” Those seconds may be the most fascinating scene in any movie or video in History! Interspersed pictures in the scenes between shots show each person killed or wounded being hit following those shots of the assassin’s volley.
Then, Four Big Questions!
1. Did those “seven Waits” end at the moment he, or his controllers, saw that a well-placed shot from one of our unidentified fine Local Law Enforcement Officers (“The Redacted Hero of The Day”?) was shown to have hit the assassin’s rifle, making it unable to fire?
2. Did that prompt “the expert sniper” to realize, or was he given a one-second command when it was realized the shooter could no longer kill the Candidate: “Shoot him, now!”?
3. Will even considering that scene be “redacted” by orders to obedient media?
4. Will the actual names of all “redactors” and all requested “redactions” of any answers to any questions asked in The Butler Novel and by others be released, or will they be “redacted”? Who would not want to see our own nation’s commitment to truth be manifested by seeing that list?
~
Obvious questions must follow: “Who gave the order that two Coroner’s Reports from County Coroners in two Counties be provided? Were they ordered to provide ‘conflicting information that must, therefore, be ignored.’? Did either Coroner’s Report provide a chemical analysis of legally prescribed psychological medications (not illegal drugs) or abuse in or on him? Is that why the assassin’s body was cremated rather than released? Will the full release of both reports be ‘redacted’? Were actual blood samples retained for independent labs to analyze?”
Many of us realize and ask: “The most modern, high-resolution, camera-carrying drones in the world are available to Federal Security Forces. Why weren’t they put to use?”
The Butler Novel accompanies That Question with three more: “Were camera-carrying drones actually in use? Were one or more “supervisory agents” using drone-mounted cameras to watch the assassin crawl across the roof without warning anyone before he began shooting? Was there operational control over the confused young man through tiny earphones or his telephone?”
“Were our extraordinarily competent and concerned Butler County and Local Law Enforcement Officers the only people who cared enough to offer to provide one or more modern, high-tech security drones that some Federal Authorities may, and should, be identified as having rejected?
“Confusion from above” is described in an article from Spotlight PA: “The Butler County Emergency Services Unit, a special weapons and tactical squad, had toured the Butler Farm Show during the week and had identified the AGR building as a threat. In the meeting, Butler County officials raised the issue with the Secret Service, said Goldinger, the Butler County District Attorney, but ultimately, the agency did not post anyone on the roof. ‘This was their ballgame.’ Goldinger said of the Secret Service.” That was an honest and courageous statement!
Local Law Enforcement agencies can track “pings” on cell phones and make “maps” to find where people have been visiting, with whom they have been communicating, and identify those who have called or visited them. Was this tracking done on the confused young shooter’s cell phone(s) in the hours and days before and after he seems to have been filmed walking around at an earlier Festival in downtown Butler? With whom did he have breakfasts, lunches, dinners, conversations, or visits? Will maps of his travels be provided, as they often are on “Crime Shows”? The Butler Novel will try to let us know what Local Law Enforcement was, and was not, allowed and encouraged to investigate fully. All “redactions” help us understand how little the “redactors” want us to know. Lies prevail when Trust and Truth are undermined.
~
Will an enjoyable part of The Butler Novel be watching questions being avoided by skilled, professional “redactors” who steadfastly repeat the beautifully calculated vagueness of those who will endlessly and solemnly avoid honestly answering politically incorrect questions by seriously and slowly saying: “We are looking into that.” to proudly demonstrate their mastery of what has become a popular way to provide “redaction” even as they throw local law enforcement and officials under the bus? (Will that be the longest coherent sentence in The Butler Novel?)
~
Many find The Latest Chapter of The Butler Novel intriguing because good fiction is filled with facts.
May God bless us all to see that Local Law Enforcement and Butler County Officials did a far better job than those who failed want us to realize. The comparative incompetence, or worse, of a few people in a few Federal Authorities is an ongoing embarrassment to the many good people and Agencies. Their good people are exemplified by those who bravely shielded Presidential Candidate with their bodies as shots were being fired! Comparing their courage, and that shown by Local Law Enforcement, explains some of the urges for “redaction”.
One person summed up the failures that allowed this tragedy to happen: “It’s pretty clear that it wasn’t just one screw-up here,” said Andrew Vitek, a professor who teaches about terrorism at Penn State University. “This is indicative of multiple systemic failures all coming down around their ears at once.”
We pray that all involved will work diligently to avoid any “redactions” of every truth, including releasing all Emergency Calls made about this situation. The more high-sounding such efforts may be made to seem, the more clearly we see the desire to provide truth-hiding “redactions”. In cases like this, there must be a Policy of “No Redactions” so that all future political candidates from every Party will be safer. “Redactions” are forms of “bearing false witness” that threaten Truth and Democracy and the life of every candidate in every Party who cares enough to run for Public Office.
May God bless all who meaningfully love our Faith, Freedom, and Families with the courage to demand: “No Redactions!”
A wonderful alternative would be to provide an Official Government Report with all requested “redactions”. The Official Government Report could be reduced to One Sentence centered on One Page:
“We cannot do more than ‘temporarily suspend’ the single Federal employee who may have done something wrong or failed to do things properly and intelligently through no fault of her own. It would be wrong to put anyone’s salary, benefits, and pension at risk. It would be worse to hurt their feelings. No Official Government Report is allowed to do such awful things.”
Then, an accompanying Unofficial Report for Mere Citizens could ask and answer far more questions than those considered in The Butler Novel. No one would appreciate that more those respectable government workers who could not publicly recognize what an important contribution “The Unofficial Report for Mere Citizens” would make to, in the words of Superman from what must be the Divine Coincidence of coming from DC Comics predicting our hopes for Washington, DC, that “Truth, Justice, and The American Way” shall prevail.

Afterword: Lessons from History, Literature, and Religion:
History: Most of us learn enough History to know that Julius Caesar, one of the Greatest Roman Emperors, was assassinated by jealous rivals. His heir and successor, Augustus, was blessed to win wars of rebellion led by Brutus and other assassins of Caesar to seize control of The Roman Empire.
Caesar Augustus won those wars. Then, his Intelligence Agencies found and “permanently redacted” all who helped in the assassination of Julius Caesar.
History’s Lesson: “Redaction” may occur in “The Redaction of Redactors”.
History’s Better Lesson: “Forgiveness is better than “redaction” because it provides time for soul-saving “repentance and redemption”.
Literature: Dante is one of the most widely-read authors in History. His “Divine Comedy” tells us that the souls of all who unrepentantly participate in “Complex Frauds” for personal gain must spend eternity in the lowest six Circles of Hell.
After a lifetime of praying for “wisdom and understanding”, Dante realized the assassin, Brutus, is in the lowest circle of “The Inferno”. He forever suffers the greatest pain in Creation along with Judas Iscariot, who tried to “redact” Jesus for Speaking His Church-Creating Word to the first Catholic Pope: “And I say unto you thou art Peter and on this rock I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.”
Religion: Interestingly, Dante’s Inferno puts Mohammed with Brutus and Judas in the lowest place in hell, symbolizing a “reverse trinity”. Like the first to be led to America by earlier Believers in “More for Me” denominations, their followers contiue to exterminate or enslave as many “God and neighbor-loving people” as they can. Often, their invasions are made to seem “rightful and peaceful”, but they are allowed and encouraged by those too self-centered to do more than plunder and destroy those who strive to obey “Love God and your neighbors as yourself.”
“The Butler Novel” lets us learn from Dante: No one should worry more about having their immortal souls ‘redacted from Heaven’ than those who unrepentantly ‘redact truth’ on Earth.
