Live by conspiracy...
Live by conspiracy. Die by conspiracy
Someone killed Charlie Kirk today. He was a Trumpist that spread multiple conspiracy theories and promoted many abhorrent beliefs*. I think that it is fitting for his death to be wrapped in the same level of conspiracy that he perpetuated. Already there is talk about what a clean shoot it was. There is footage of a person on top of the roof of a nearby building. After the shot it appears that the shooter left. At this point no one has been charged though several were questioned and released.
One of the first observations I encountered asked whether someone who detested Kirk's flip flop on the Epstein files, moving from exposing everyone to trusting the administration cover-up, might have been angry enough to shoot Kirk for siding with the sex pest-in-command. Interesting, but it seems that kind of person might want the message to be loud and clear.
Another question arose stemming from the famous punching of neo-Nazi Richard B Spencer. While being interviewed on camera someone stepped up and punched him in the head. This resulted in The question: Is it ever ok to punch a Nazi? The reply: Yes, which entered the standard lexicon. To this day, no one has stepped forward to claim credit and accept the millions of free drinks guaranteed by such an action. As we weighed this scenario, another more likely scenario popped up: an Epstein diversion.
In the week that the Congressional committee released the drawing from Epstein's birthday book, this shooting occurred. So in the spirit of Charlie Kirk, let's honor his memory and propose a very plausible theory as to why he was shot. Trump needed attention taken away from the Epstein exposure. But why Kirk? Ask Trump, who called Kirk influential among the youth. Ask Trump, who wants to roll out the National Guard around the nation. Ask Trump, who is making claims about crime but still only offers thoughts and prayers when yet another school shooting happened today. Ask Trump, but only about anything except Jeffrey Epstein.
Right now, this generation of young people can't afford homes or cars. It's hard to find a decent paying job and harder to get one with benefits. The future is bleak for the youth of today. On the far right they are preaching about getting a stay at home wife who will obey their husbands. They are talking about kicking all the immigrants out and all those jobs they "steal" will suddenly open up and somehow pay all the bills. Charlie Kirk spoke to these people: the incels, the trad life types, the ultra conservatives, the RWNJ, the denizens of the manosphere, the ammosexuals, those struggling and looking to lay the blame on those they hate. These are people who want a fight. They want to get riled up, pick a fight, deport a Latino, and shoot up something.
By having Kirk taken out, Trump gets a win-win scenario. He gets attention diverted from the Epstein files. He gets a martyr for the White Christain Nationalist agenda and we've all heard the persecution complex of some on the Christian right. With persecution, they view themselves as more christ-like. Trump gets a cause célèbre for targeting crime in America via National Guard deployment, ICE raids, and more strong arm tactics including recategorizing certain activities as criminal. And Trump gets young people of a certain ilk, those in thrall to Kirk, all bent out of shape and willing to go off halfcocked at the slightest provocation.
“I always say, we have two enemies … We have the outside enemy, and then we have the enemy from within, and the enemy from within, in my opinion, is more dangerous than China, Russia, and all these countries … We have some very bad people; we have some sick people, radical-left lunatics. And it should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by the National Guard—or, if really necessary, by the military.” October 13, 2024, in a Fox News interview
It really doesn't sound too crazy, does it? Because the only one who benefits from Kirk's death is the right and Trump, its leader. But I'll leave that up to you. As for me, well, thoughts and prayers to Kirk's family. It's all we ever got from that side of the fence. And besides, I ask what better way to honor a person than carry on his work and I figure my little conspiracy theory is in keeping with the way Kirk lived his life.
*******************************
Kirk's beliefs and action include:
Getting Trump elected and re-elected
Attack on DC on Jan 6, 2021, by providing funding, buses, speakers, rallying people, and so much more
Promoted multiple conspiracy theories and outright lies about Covid, voter fraud, education, women, abortion, the swine flu, the WHO, higher education, and so many more
Claimed persecution when there was none and then claimed religious freedom to persecute others.
Said women should be forced to carry a rapist's child to term. What a bastard!
Advocated against birth control.
Opposed those who boycott Israel while promoting boycotts to support his causes.
He was a racist, a homophobe, and anti-woman and promoted ideologies which promoted hate. Many of these beliefs were shielded by his interpretation of his brand of Christianity.
Lied about CRT, DEI, BLM, and promoted The Great Replacement Theory
Lied about the Russian invasion of Ukraine and promoted false info.
Opposed access to abortion.
Kirk promoted the Seven Mountain Mandate, a Dominion theology concept which calls for Christians to control seven spheres of society (government, education, media, arts and entertainment, business, family, and religion).
And ironically, Kirk supported gun rights: "I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights."
