DI REDAZIONE IL CORRIERE NAZIONALE DEL 16 LUGLIO 2024 ALLE ORE 09:05
In the wake of the recent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has announced an independent review to analyze the incident. Mayorkas stated, “We are going to analyze, through an independent review, how that occurred, why it occurred, and make recommendations and findings to ensure it doesn’t happen again.” However, this announcement has sparked significant controversy and criticism, particularly from President CYBERPOL Ricardo Baretzky.
Baretzky has been vocal in his criticism of the incident and the response from U.S. and EU security agencies. According to him, the incident demonstrates a glaring lack of mental health awareness and risk management among officials. He argues that the failure to install a bulletproof glass barrier, which could have prevented both Trump’s injury and the death of an innocent civilian, is a clear example of negligence.
“It doesn’t take much brains to understand the importance of basic security measures,” Baretzky said. “Even the Pope doesn’t speak in public without a bulletproof glass barrier, and he’s not a statesman or head of state. The oversight in Trump’s case is inexcusable.”
A Case of Negligence?
Baretzky’s criticism extends to the broader security infrastructure in the U.S. and EU. He contends that many officials and officers in these regions are not up to the job or responsibility required for secret service roles. This, he believes, was a significant factor in the security breach that led to the assassination attempt.
“The lack of risk management and ignorance of an official and officer cannot be dismissed,” Baretzky emphasized. “This incident highlights a severe deficiency in the training and preparedness of those tasked with protecting high-profile individuals.”
Legal Implications and Social Media’s Role
Baretzky also pointed to potential legal ramifications for those responsible for the security failure. He believes that Trump has a strong legal claim for negligence against several parties, including social media and internet platforms, especially Google. Baretzky argues that these platforms played a role in the incident by citing and promoting assassination attempts, creating a cause-and-effect situation.
“Google AI’s role in driving provocation cannot be overlooked,” Baretzky asserted. “When President Biden’s words, ‘Trump needs to face the Bullseye,’ are ranked and promoted by these platforms, it becomes a major problem. Organized crime on the internet indirectly played a significant role in this event by reprogramming a 20-year-old to act on the media recoil.”
The Need for Media and Internet Regulation
In light of the incident, Baretzky called for greater control over media and internet content to prevent similar events in the future. He stressed that without stringent regulation, high-profile individuals will continue to be at risk.
“A major control on media and internet is necessary,” Baretzky said. “If this kind of incitement continues, we will see more such incidents involving public figures.”
CYBERPOL’s Commitment to Cybersecurity
Baretzky also outlined CYBERPOL’s commitment to combating global cybercrime and terrorism. He indicated that if Trump wins another term, CYBERPOL would work closely with his office to support these efforts.
“CYBERPOL is dedicated to fighting global cybercrime and terrorism,” Baretzky staed. “If Trump wins, we will make it our business to support his office in these endeavors.”
Independent Review Announced by Mayorkas
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’s announcement of an independent review aims to uncover the reasons behind the security lapse and make recommendations to prevent future occurrences. However, critics like Baretzky believe that the focus should be on implementing obvious and straightforward security measures rather than conducting lengthy reviews.
“The solution is clear: implement basic security measures like bulletproof glass barriers,” Baretzky argued. “An independent review is unnecessary when the failure is so apparent.”
The Broader Implications for Security
The assassination attempt on Trump has broader implications for the security of high-profile individuals worldwide. Baretzky’s comments highlight the need for improved risk management and preparedness among security agencies. The incident also underscores the influence of social media and internet platforms in shaping public perception and potentially inciting violence.
Baretzky’s call for greater regulation of these platforms is a reflection of growing concerns about their role in modern society. As the digital landscape continues to evolve, the need for robust cybersecurity measures and responsible content management becomes increasingly important.
Public and Political Reactions
The public and political reactions to the assassination attempt and subsequent review announcement have been mixed. Some support Mayorkas’s call for an independent review, believing it will provide valuable insights into preventing future incidents. Others, like Baretzky, argue that immediate action is needed rather than prolonged investigations.
Political analysts suggest that the incident could have significant implications for future elections and the security protocols for candidates and officeholders. The debate over how to balance security, privacy, and freedom of expression in the digital age is likely to continue, with this incident serving as a critical case study.
Moving Forward
As the independent review proceeds, the focus will be on identifying the specific failures that led to the assassination attempt and implementing measures to address them. Baretzky’s comments serve as a reminder of the urgent need for effective risk management and security protocols.
The role of social media and internet platforms in shaping public discourse and potentially inciting violence will also be scrutinized. As Baretzky noted, greater regulation and control of these platforms may be necessary to prevent similar incidents in the future.
In the meantime, high-profile individuals and their security teams will need to remain vigilant and proactive in addressing potential threats. The assassination attempt on Trump is a stark reminder of the dangers that exist in today’s interconnected world.
President CYBERPOL Ricardo Baretzky’s remarks on the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump highlight significant concerns about the state of security and risk management in the U.S. and EU. His criticism of the failure to implement basic security measures and the role of social media platforms in inciting violence underscores the need for immediate action and greater regulation.
As the independent review announced by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas proceeds, the focus will be on uncovering the reasons behind the security lapse and making recommendations to prevent future incidents. However, Baretzky’s comments suggest that the solutions may be simpler and more straightforward than an extensive review process.
The broader implications of the incident for security, media regulation, and public safety will continue to be debated, with Baretzky’s call for greater control over media and internet content serving as a critical point of discussion. As the world grapples with the challenges of the digital age, the need for robust cybersecurity measures and responsible content management becomes increasingly apparent.
